Decision making Conundrums

 There's a lot to decision-making. One, is the decision itself, about doing something. But there may be more- as you get older, you see these sides more clearly. For instance, a decision (personal) to marry someone, or the reverse, to break up with someone. To take up a job, or to leave one.

In many of these cases, one has to, apart from the main decision, decide WHEN to implement it, or how. Also, how to communicate it to the concerned parties. All these may determine the effectiveness of carrying it out. For instance, I am told, breakups happen on WhatsApp. I think that is gross. You do need to communicate, at least on the phone, because some conversation may be in order. Social media are good for many things, but this is not one of those things.

Coming back to the original point, though, there are decisions about decisions. It's true of communication too. What to communicate (content), as well as how you do it (the medium, the process) are quite important. That includes WHEN NOT to communicate, or remain silent as a strategy..If only some of us learnt this last lesson,...

I Decide

Gathering from all my six senses as to what works, I decided-for me, that's a BIG Deal, as I am not a decision-maker by nature-more of a vacillator. But now, inspired by some great guys, I have decided. That I will walk to Kedarnath.

You may well ask, why Kedarnath?

I'd reply, "Why not?"

It's a holy journey, so I can wash a few sins off-bathing in the Ganga is too cold a way of doing it, for me.

It's a good, healthy walk, so I can shed a few pounds, along with my sins.

It is cool out there, so this is a good time to be there- I can't afford to go to Europe.

It is a politically correct thing to do- compared to going to Bangkok.

I might just make it to the headlines.

What if there is a lanslide? Well, it's better to be buried in mud, rather than bury my head in sand!
