We all face unpleasant situations
in life when something is out-of-the-ordinary, or with things
that demand our unusual physical and mental ability, or a
sudden cause of any unfavorable event. All these create a
pressure, tension, strain that is commonly called as Stress.
The modern day living is generating so much stress that it
has even necessitated the evolution of a "Stress Awareness
Month" which is marked as April of each year and this
month we are into the 19th year.. During this 30-day period,
health care professionals and experts join hands to increase
public awareness about both the causes and cures of stress.
Let us deal with the “Stress”
the “Poetical” way. Watch how this poem “No
more stress” gives solutions to everyday stressors!
No more Stress
I had an obsession that stress
was part-and-parcel of life,
but now I have learnt that stress can be parceled off in parts
by practice.
I used to bury myself amidst
the sheets of the newspaper first thing in the morning,
but now I have learnt that a morning jog or walk was more
beneficial as it made me fresh and cheerful.
I had strongly suspected that
people always conspired against me at office,
but now I have learnt to smile at them and get back their
smiles.
I always shouted at my “dachshund”
when he dashed into the house with his wet-muddy paws,
but now I have learnt to appreciate his art-work.
I got furious whenever my little
daughter threw things all around the house,
but now I have learnt to enjoy her mischievous smile during
her disorderliness.
I used to frown whenever my
wife complained about my insufficiency at handling the kitchen,
but now I have learnt to be more skillful, since that was
a stressor to her.
I used to curse the signals
and the traffic cop for delaying my drive,
but now I have learnt to drive in peace by managing my time
better.
I always got depressed when
I thought about a departed dear one,
but now I have learnt to cry my heart out and remember only
the pleasant things I shared with them.
I always worried about the
undiagnosed health problem that I may have,
but now I have learnt that worrying itself is good enough
a health problem,
I always got tense when I had
to face a critical situation,
but now I have learnt to close my eyes and take ten deep breaths
to keep my cool.
I was always pessimistic that
deadlines were a “Distress,”
but now I have learnt to convert them into desirable challenges
that could impart “Eustress.”
I had an obsession that stress
was part-and-parcel of life,
but now I have learnt to react to it correctly; I have learnt
to choose a soothing music, a pleasant perfume, or a healthy
snack.

Screech, Screech.. Out of Memory!
Reports say that Japanese, the inventors of Haiku form of
poetry, were able to create interesting Haikus
to replace the impersonal computer error messages - especially
Microsoft’s errors. Here are few scenarios which you would
have experienced and would appreciate the error messages
in Haiku form instead of the original form.
Scenario:
You try to start a program which throws an "Out
of Memory" error. (meaning the program needs more memory
than your computer possess) Replacement Error message in Haiku form:
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.
Screech!
Screech! (This Onamatopoeia
line is not part of the Haiku)
