Dil Vs Dimaag

Since time immemorial, common people have always considered mind to be a storehouse of intelligence and the heart as the source of all emotions. Emotions have never been able to understand logic.

Whenever we have to make an important decision in our life, we invariably tend to consult both our heart and mind before taking the final decision. If both heart and mind are in agreement - the decision-making process becomes easier. But if both pull you in opposite directions, life may become miserable. And when people start making statements like Dimaag se kam lo, Dil ki baat suno... the confusion just keeps on increasing ! And a point comes when the disconnect between the heart and mind starts affecting social interactions leading to embarrassing moments and hilarious situations...

Hold on - I am not getting philosophical... The above para just happens to be the theme of our forthcoming drama - DVD : Dil Vs Dimaag - set in the backdrop of a love-story. The practice for the drama is now in full-swing (of course - outside of our working hours) and its good to see our characters coming alive !

Ambition quotient

Having come back from winning two-three consecutive games of TT, took this interesting test on rediff.com to find out how ambitious I am. After clicking on the options that I could closely identify with, I pressed the submit button and here is what the result said -

You are ambitious, wise and balanced. Having fun while you work and living a life complete in every sense is important to you along with career growth. You know what you want and you work your way up patiently through your performance and attitude. Sometimes, you may need a little push, but you will get there. All the best!

Not bad - it probably best describes me at this point in time !
Later out of curiosity, I tweaked with the options and tried to find out what would have happened if I would have chosen the other set of options. Basically depending on the way you answer, you are placed in one of the 3 categories of people. Each category has an associated description. The other two descriptions are as follows -

Man, are you ambitious! You are a workaholic and hungry for success. You are constantly plotting and planning on how to climb the ladder. Remember, though, your mental, physical and emotional well-being may suffer because of your overzealous ambition. Make time to chill out and enjoy life too.

You are downright unambitious and disinterested in your career. You prefer living in a comfort zone and are not inclined to make any effort to move forward in life. Buck up, life gets boring if you live it like a sponge.
