SEMRush @ 2:03 AM and my hobbies

I am definitely not a perfectionist but as I sit at 2:03 am working on SEMrush finding the right keywords, I feel that it is tough for me to let go off of things. I simply cannot allow myself to be unaware or be out of touch. I have to know what is going on where; as long as the thing holds my interest. The moment it doesn't, I stop bothering, and boy, how perfectly I don't bother!

Also, I am extremely competitive (I guess) and in the pursuit of knowledge, I can get extremely petty. I think I mentioned it somewhere earlier but in the interviews, I usually ask the questions that I am finding the answers to and try and understand the varied approaches. The other person may end up babbling but it might as well be fruitful too. I also want to be more intelligent than the people I work with and so I keep reading.

I feel that it is the extra knowledge that brings respect along. Also, the person has to be nice and polite and a lot of other stuff as well but yeah- you should know more, know better!

I think that reading is the only thing I love doing. I love it so much that sometimes, I don't start it in the fear that it will get over. I just keep imagining scenarios of me reading someday. Somedays I think that I'll read on the couch, other days, I lay a bed on the floor with ample decor, and some days I take a book along with me to the workplace.

I think more than the feel of reading, I enjoy the thought of reading. That I will read, that I will know more someday.

Another thing that I absolutely love is wise-cracks! I am not really a people person and emotions in professional discussions throw me off-guard! Like, excuse me, why are you getting emotional about it, "kaam hai, Zindagi nahi." But saying something like this explicitly may hurt the other person's feelings! So, I crack a joke or an extremely witty line. Lightens up the moment, gives me some time to adjust, and then we can proceed with the discussion.

I also feel that it is better to think about something and then do it rather than do it and then think about it. If you've done something without thinking, let it be! Thinking isn't going to solve it but I also know that it is easier said than done.

Not for me though! I only curse and blame the things that were never under my control. But, if I took a decision, I'll stand by it, I'll have it well justified in my mind and for the lack of better reason, I'd say- "Ab us time situation hi aisi thi." No one has a better response to this statement.

I think it helps me maintain my sanity. Also, the video I posted today, the one about the positive mind frame, I have been watching it again and again and well, Sandeep Maheshwari is going to have a tough competition soon :P

Or maybe that dream is for when I'll sleep :P

Tata bye bye!
