Are you the books you read? Are you the thoughts you think? Are you the music you listen? Are you the things you see? Are you what people say? Are you what you say? Are you the decisions you make? Or are you the decisions you do not take?
Are you everything? or; or … … … are you nothing…?
Have you ever had a piping hot coffee, on a chilly night, with a blanket wrapped around you, watching the crescent moon…!? Have you…!?
I wish I could go to a beach right now, and watch a sunset, forever and ever… … …
Peter: Man, look at that view. Is that why you guys do it?
Mozzie: It’s not about the stuff. It’s about doing what we want to do. Who cares about 9 to 5 and pensions? Playing by the rules only makes borders that just take away everything that’s good about living life.
Neal: Moz, Moz… You lived in a storage unit.
Mozzie: Yeah, but I lived there, man. I lived. Long as I don’t have to live under anyone else’s time or dime, I’m a free man. I can do whatever I want.
(WOWWW!)
Do you remember my Scribble where I wrote about if I could be? Add Moz to the top of that list!
When you lived your life unconventionally, how would you expect to fit in a conventional paradigm?
Couple of days ago, someone asked me regarding my office space. I answered honestly that even though I have a huge client base, I don’t have anything such as a 10000 sq ft office or even a 100 sq ft office. I told that I don’t have an office because I don’t need one. Also, it helps me keep the overhead cost to a minimum. An office means at least 50000/month of an overhead cost. I don’t have an office because I don’t need to have it. Our conversation ended there.
If I don’t need an office, and yet I establish one, I am in a loss. At least 50000/month monetary loss, and the most important loss is that of the time, which the office would eat up without adding anything valuable to me. For me, time is the most valuable thing. Maintaining an office would sure make a dent to my time.
Truth is, which I didn’t explain, that I don’t have an office because God have been so kind to me that he gave me everything I wanted without needing an extra baggage.
The conventional way is that if you are a businessman, you need an office; and if you are a professional, you must live in a metro city. But God was so kind that he lifted me above that. He knew what was perfect for me and gave it to me. I am more than grateful. A day doesn’t pass by without thanking God for everything I have.
Also, my Idol, Warren Buffett, one of the richest guy in the world, didn’t have his office till he was 45. He had to have an office because of the expansion (which still is smaller than my bedroom). His partner, Charlie Munger (a multi-billionaire too), still doesn’t have an office.
So, here I am, I don’t have an office, because I never needed one. And I wish, I shall never need one – so that I’d be able to live my life to the fullest.
Aftermath – I didn’t hear back after I said that I don’t have an office; which is a good thing.
Because, we reach only there, that far we can see.
Do you remember me telling you about BTCC (British Touring Car Championship)? Ash Sutton won the championship!
Delighted to see Sutton win, but partly empty for Colin Turkington. He was a worthy protagonist.

टूट के बिखरना मुझको ज़रूर आता है
वरना इबादत वाला शहूर आता है
सजदे में रहने दो, अब कहीं ना जाऊँगा
अब जो तुमने ठुकराया, तो सँवर ना पाऊँगा… … …
