Are We Selling?

We'll are selling?

I've been working for more than two years selling online advertising to millions of people. My friends are selling ideas, my brother is selling stocks, my neighbor is selling books. But apart from the professional sales we are making every day, isn't life is an ongoing sale. We sell our marks, our degrees, our looks, and our resumes. We add and we subtract to make the product more interesting. We are always a part of some kinda market, be it job market or dating market or marriage market. If you are not saleable or marketable, you sure would be a product of the past. But why is there an ever growing need to selling yourself. Some people may not like the term selling, but isn’t it what it is. We sell services of our company and our personality. Makes me wonder if life is all about becoming what people like. Becoming buyable. Becoming value for money, becoming luxury. The better you sell the higher price you can quote. Is it too hard to be good just for the sake of yourself and not anyone else? May be, may be not. Because we are social and we’ve grown with and around the society. The marketing would always continue. I just hope the mix would get more creative ;)

Friends Forever?

What are friends?

So many cliches to define friendship. The soulmates you never marry, The relatives you are not born with, But what are they really.

Someone whose troubles you try and resolve when your own troubles are driving you crazy. Someone who you want to trust inspite of knowing that they are saying things to make you feel better. Someone whose boyfriends/girlfriends you are a little jealous of coz you know that they are with the best they ever could be. Someone you make listen to the music or movies you don't like and you can tell them the truth. Someone said that if you had five real friends in life consider yourself lucky. Real is an enigma though. You could be jealous be of real friends. You could hate them for doing something which you asked them not to. But you still stand for them, by them and beside them. In good, bad and ugly; expecting the same from them. Some of them change your life, some of them change you. But consider yourself lucky, even if you have a few.

Yeah yeah, I said I'll be regular. But just couldn't!! Work is keeping me busy as usual. But a lot happening...

Office is crazy for everyone. After just a stint of some two and half years in my current job, I'm bored!!! Not that I don't like the company, the work or the people. It's just the same routine is becoming unbearable. I often wonder how my father has completed 25 years in the same office. Is it just our generation? Are we the easy to get bored people? With jobs, with friends, with music or with relationships. It's the same for everyone I know. I don't know anyone who is waving the flag and saying, Yipee, my job is kick ass. I am loving it...Really no one!! It's fashionable to switch jobs these days and I've never been good with fashion...

Well, I would have to wait and watch and see how things goes...Of all I know, our generation is also the take it easy kinds :P
