Chat with The Mirror #Bathroom Tales 5

Gurpreet Singh Tikku Leave a comment

Today When I stepped into by bathroom to brush my teeth……. I heard another Voice. 

And today it was my MIRROR.

As I looked into it and saw myself … I could hear my mirror saying…..

“Come on Gurpreet, let’s talk FACE TO FACE and then continued … 

“Each Person has many facets, which is Good…. But Masks over those Facets is not good. 

One can fool everyone in this world… but not yourself. Whenever you see the Mirror, You will only see and hear the truth…. Your Real Self……

Remember to “Be Sincere” to yourself, it will show through the Glow on your Face when you see the Mirror Next!!

And remember to “Smile when you see the Mirror….. If you can Smile for Others, You can Smile for yourself too”

(I can’t Stop Smiling :-)))))))))))

The Bathroom Craziness Accelerates………..

And today I was surprised by my Tap (Mixer/Faucet)….. I was Busy adjusting my tap to get the right Mix of Luke warm water for my bath….. But I was failing… The flowing water was either too warm….. or too cold. And after repeated attempts … I got the right mix in 3 Minutes”

On this my Mixer/Tap tells me “Gurpreet, Sometimes it is stroke of Luck.. Or sometimes…… It is sheer Hardwork…… which gives you the right Mix in Life.

So… Just the “work hard” initially and find Best Mix for you and then keep working hard to maintain it… till your Priorities Change”

Another Lesson Learnt!!

Bathroom Craziness Strikes again…… BathroomTales3

Gurpreet Singh Tikku Leave a comment

And It was My Slippers Talking to me today. 

It said…..”Gurpreet…. Each Person/ Object here in this world has come for a specific Motive. And if you try to change its use….Then it may not perform even 1% of what it is designed for. 

Jaise ki….. I’m a chappal…. I can only be utilized when I’m on your feet Protecting you from dust and Nails on the floor. If I think.. That I can become and perform the function of a Glove or Cap which are More delicately handled…. Then I may Loose my character completely.
So….Be Yourself and Excel rather Aping Others and Failing”.

My Towel Tells me…. Never Take Things For Granted!!

Gurpreet Singh Tikku Leave a comment

Seems….. Either I have gone Crazy or everything in my Bathroom has.
Nevertheless… I am Enjoying…and Learning too

Today It was chance of my Towel to teach me a thing….

My Towel Said “You use me rarely. May be for Just for 2 mins a day….. but still I am very very Important to you. Just Imagine… you have taken a Bath and you are without a Towel??”

So never Take things For Granted…..However small they are or however less they come in Contact with you….. You would realise it’s importance only when they are not with you.

Greedy Fellow!

Gurpreet Singh Tikku 2 Comments

Since I was a Kid, I have been a Greedy fellow!!

Greedy for Gifts, Complimentary products, Buy One Get one (BOGO) Give Aways.

Be it Kissan Sauce, Maggi Noodles, 7UP Fido Dido Give aways etc.

Yesterday too while I was at Le Marche, Gurgaon. I spotted a Rack shouting to me… “Buy one 2Ltr Coke Bottle and get a Coca Co20130315_125621la Contour Glass free”

So, I picked 1, Then 2, Then 3. And then asked Gurleen “May I pick 3 more to make a set of Six…… I heard my Intelligent Wife’s Brain say NO!! But She spoke what her heart said… as she knew I was waiting to hear YES!!

So, now I have a Set of 6 Coca Cola Glasses and a Quota of Coke to last 3 months.

If any one of you is around…. feel free to drop in for a Glass of Coke in the new Glasses!!

As it is Said #Thori paagal panti bhi Zaroori hai

Disclaimer: Coca Cola did not pay me anything for this update.
Though I would not mind, if they did :-)

Look Around and Everybody is an Entrepreneur!!

Gurpreet Singh Tikku 1 Comment

 

This weekend… While going through my Old Pics….. I found some pics clicked by me at Karnal Bypass (A Small Town of Haryana, on the sides of NH1)

This was on a Saturday while we were on our way to spend a few days holidaying in Simla….and we had halted due to a long queue of Cars at the Toll Plaza.

Everything seems to be the same….. the Dust Flying around, Hawkers selling their wares, Blaring Horns, Two Wheelers trying to cross wherever they could find the way, unmindful of your car getting scratched.

And while I was having my Kurkure and Mountain Dew (My Staple Diet while driving long Distance)…I noticed a gentleman wearing a Kurta Pyjama and a Head Gear going from car to car seeking contributions with his usual Chant of “Shani Maharaj ki Jai ho”.

 

Nothing that we all have never seen before…… but something was unusual amongst this usual scene and I clicked some of his pics once he crossed us.

Need to mention that the Strike rate was 50…… Which meant he got a Contribution from every next car. Which is very very unlikely to happen in Delhi, Mumbai, or for that matter any Indian city.

Today, when i saw these pictures again…. I tried to spend some time on it and kept pondering and thankfully my effort paid off…..As I realised that he is a Fellow Entrepreneur.

One who has planned everything that he is doing and making calculated moves in a territory which is still unexplored!!

On closer Inspection I could see his strategy Unfolding. The Same is as Follows.

  • He has selected the Right Day of the Week i.e Saturday!
  • Wears the Right Clothes/HeadGear for you to treat him seriously & Dish out your Coins!
  • Rather than working in the Colony Streets, He prefers coming to Toll Plaza where the Density of Cars/People is High and results in more Business
  • He knows very well that due to high Highway Accidents, We Indians Remember our God often while travelling on the Highway and hence this is right place to ask for Money in the Name of God!
  • On a Highway….There is a 50% probability that you are travelling for a vacation. Means Good Mood which means Notes instead of Coins. So more Money for Business.

No Doubt he would have planned other Days accordingly tooo………….. In the Name of Some Other God, in some other Costume, in Some SUITABLE Other Area.

Lesson Learnt: Entrepreneur is not only a person who creates companies with his Knowledge but also every person who tries to Defy norms, Notices the Opportunity and Grab it at the RIGHT TIME.

He is there everywhere around us and inside us…… We just need to Spot, Observe, Learn and Execute!!
