well…not bad! For a change i stick to my words

Now changing focus from habit to a common human instinct that is very strong in me. If you are expected to do something at a certain point of time you will derive greater pleasure doing somehing else at that time!! Am I confusing you? Let me make myself clear: suppose I have one important assignment to finish today, it so happens that today I will get all the pleasures from reading the stupidest book or from gossiping with the bore-est of persons! The time flies by and when there is very little or no time left I panic that the task remained incomplete!! This is a scenario that has replayed each time I had to submit a report or homework at school, then it crept up to college and university and now its employed with me! Even though I fully understand the consequences of this I am kind of empowered by this instinct to duck away from the work at hand…this is probably how people get involved with highly unpleasant situations knowing  fully well the consequences but even then unable to resist the pull…
I guess everyone of us experience such moments in life. Thats human nature.

Habit is difficult to form and more difficult to stick to!

They say if you practice a thing for 21 days you get a HABIT. Now there are a few things to it. First you need to go through that entire stretch and then when you cross the 21 figure you need to stick to it forever. However in my case I find it extremely difficult to cultivate ‘habit’.

Let me narrate how impossible my attitude towards habit is: I had the habit of brushing my teeth after dinner. Each day since I was able to do it myself I remember doing it at home. This continued not for 21 days but some 21 years till I stepped out of home and landed in a hostel. Ah what a relief…no brushing at night!! Well from the very first night the ‘habit’ went out of the window. However, there is also a thing called conscience…but the mind will pick out all sorts of excuses “oh we usually go for snacks after mid night, so whats the point in brushing after dinner?”

Well…when I fist joined the crowd in rediffiland I thought of keying down few words at least twice a week…however that was not to be…now I have cut out the aspiration…hope I can post something each week even if thats not nurtured as a habit!!
