You
might wonder what I am blabbering. And you might also think that I am not
making any sense. But let me tell you that I wanted to write about this!!! It
may be tad too silly... Still...
20 months before
My
company gave me a laptop which I was supposed to use to carry out my
professional work. And some harmless
personal work as well. Like blogging and watching movies. There were
several trainings that need to be completed and I was asked to complete them in
two weeks time because the audit to which I was assigned to would start.
I
was super-excited. A laptop!!! I had a desktop at home and it was used more to
watch movies... listening to songs... storing photos... surfing internet... and
of course posting in my then 3 months old blog.
Besides,
laptop is so compact compared to a desktop which occupies half of a table and
which is cluttered with messy wires connected here and there.
With
pride reflecting in my eyes, I started using my laptop. I dutifully started
doing all the assigned trainings. But alas! I could not concentrate. I was
finding it hard to read in it. No, not because of eye problem! I used to feel
uncomfortable to read looking straight at it. You see, I had read only books
till then – By holding the hard copy in hand!
It
was tiring and I started hating my laptop.
Today
I
surprised myself. I am reading eBook... I read blogs... I can read lengthy
documents and I am unable to imagine a life without this electronic device.
Conclusion
When
we do something for the first time, we doubt if we can actually do it. We might
give up without even trying. Thanks to our pre-conceived notions! But then,
when we realize that we don’t have any option, we adapt and learn to live with
it. Gradually and slowly, it would become a part of our lives.
One
day, when we look back at the long road that we travelled and think about how
reluctantly we started our journey, we feel astounded. We would also feel glad.
After
all...
Life
it is...
A
sack of surprises!!!
