Letting Go

Letting go



To let go: Doesn't mean to stop caring, it means I can't do it myself

To let go: Is not to cut myself off, it is the realization that I can't control another

To let go: Is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences

To let go: Is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands

To let go: Is not to try to change or blame another, I can only change myself

To let go: Is not to care for, but to care about

To let go: Is not to fix, but be supportive

To let go: Is not to judge, but allow another to be human

To let go: Is not to be in the middle arranging outcomes, but to allow others to effect their own outcomes

To let go: Is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality

To let go: Is not to deny, but to accept Is not to nag, scold, or argue, but to search out my own shortcomings and to correct them

To let go: Is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and cherish the moment

To let go: Is not to criticize and regulate someone, but to try and become what I dream I can be

To let go: Is not to regret the past, but to live for the future

To let go: Is to fear less and love more.


These are instructions on how to let go.

Perhaps it is letting go of a rebellious child or a burden of sorrow, losing a loved one or learning to live with a hearty ache which we cannot let go.

Email Fraud, supposedly from Maruti Suzuki!!

By -
My sister received a job offer from Maruti Suzuki today. All she had to do to secure the position was to pay a refundable security deposit of Rs. 16,900/-, and she would land up with a job paying anywhere between Rs. 62,000/- per annum to Rs. 20,00,000/- per annum! Seems like a bargain, does it. Thankfully, my sister smelled a rat and forwarded the JD to me for comments. I am pasting the contents of the JD below: MARUTI SUZUKI INDIA LTD (MSIL) Head Office Maruti Suzuki, India Limited Nelson Mandela Road , Vasant Kunj, New Delhi-110070 Board no.46781000 Email:  freshjobs_msil@live.com Tel: +919873128829 (10:00 AM TO 5:30 PM) REF: "MARUTI SUZUKI" DIRECT RECRUITMENTS OFFER.

Microfinance In a Spot Of Trouble

By -

I am keen on Microfinance and try to follow related news / articles as much as I can. Last year I had gone on a research project with some fellow students and stayed in villages for about 10 days. From the discussions we had with villagers and MFI operating in those villages, I got a feeling that though there are many MFIs now operating in India, they do not yet have a clear structure or system to operate with. Villagers further showed a tendency to recycle loans, and often waited for the government to waive off loans. Though life style of some of the villagers seemed to have improved, I did not see Microfinance making major impact on their means of income. If income was stagnant, improved lifestyle could mean only one thing - that loan was being used to meet household expenses, and not as working capital. It was thus no surprise when I came across this article: "Ketaki Gokhale in the WSJ: ' A credit crisis is brewing in Microfinance ' Here in Ramanagaram, a silk-ma...

Diwali - should we celebrate it with crackers?

By -
Given an option, I always chose window seat on the flight. reason being, I take childish delight in looking over the scenery, the snow white clouds, the ground where everything is minuscule, and far off objects. Thus it was no wonder that I found myself occupying a window seat on my return flight from Calcutta to Delhi last Tuesday, after having celebrated Diwali at home. Flight from Calcutta to Delhi is especially pleasurable as for a large part of the flight, you can look snow capped peaks of Himalaya jutting out of clouds at a distance. The view, for me, is breathtaking and spellbinding. I also like to look at the ground, whenever there is a break in clouds, and try to figure out farms, towns etc. I have noticed the landscape change over the years, from being pre dominantly green, to predominantly brown - the shade of soil. I am always disappointed at the pace with which green seems to be disappearing. This flight, however, had another surprise in store for me. My flight had to ...
