Demons within!!

The last 2 days have been a drag.
My limbs ached,and body succumbed to lethargy.
A severe mood swing that led me to be at home for a day and a half.
Back to work,I wonder why.
My eyes ache,drooped with sleep,
my mind chooses to ignore the tasks I have at hand.
My privacy is threatened by the hordes of people outside my door.
I want to guard myself and lock myself within.
That is the only way I know of,but am unsuccessful.
I wonder why am I reeling with under this latest attack of virtual inactivity.
But I am determined to succeed.
Shall figure out why this happened and shall repair.
Will not let this cower me down.
I shall battle all my demons within.

Work Is Worship

I grew up on this quote.
Met people who countered this ideology.
Felt life was too short to be wasted in work.
They sought fun,frolic,human relationships,leisure,travel above work.
Some worked for a living,just to make ends meet.
To many work was a plain burden.
I,too have always weighed my attitude to work.
What does my job mean to me?
A 9-5 time drill,where I perform like a machine,then re-program myself
to enjoy an idyllic existence..Is it just that??..Can it be just that??
People have through time sacrificed work at the altar of domesticity,romance,
depression,joy.
We have always worked against the concept of "work".
Yet,I find,God aside,work has almost,always given back to man far more than what man gave work.
It bought us immortality..why else would be remember Einstein,Churchill,Ford,David Packard,Bill Gates,Steve Jobbs...
What distinguishes these mortals from their fellow humans?
The Almighty apart,work is the only religion which always stands by an individual.
It never lets you down.
And yet I start this week with an enormous lethargy...

Penning down these thoughts of mine,shall help me acknowledge the enormity of what my job,my work does for me...
It single handedly almost manages to pull me out of any misery,establishes in my life a dogma of hope and postivity killing out all the negative and earns me bread,butter and most importantly my self respect.

Kudos to better working and a better work ethic!!

Thankyou God for my Work!!
