Re-equilibrate - evolved living

YOUR WORK has taken over your life, you are suffering from stress and sick of running to stay in the same place. Solution? Exchange cash for qualitative time. If you feel bored, frustrated and trapped in your job, you are a likely candidate for not just a job change but a 'downshift'. This trend started from the US, where it is practised by ten per cent of the working population, is arriving in other countries . A better word for downshifting would be reequilibrating, suggests Judy Jones, co-author of Getting A Life.



To have a  Happier, Simpler Living, leading to a simpler life - 

Trade  part of your income for more time is about redefining yourself and your idea of success. 

But how do you achieve one aspect of the downshift's dream - financial independence? First, try living on less money.

Do keep some  money to keep the footmill turning. All your have to be paid bills for example .

Make a third of your income to be spent on work-related activities like eating fast foods, taking holidays to get away from it all and having massages to relieve stress. 

Downshifting doesn't necessarily mean changing your job, but taking steps to stop your work taking over your life. 

It can involve flexible working, job sharing, school term-time working, or cutting down to fewer days at work. 

All of these things can lead to a better quantity of live or what you call re- equilibrate .

Mr.Nosy Parker

"It's Ringing ." "Pick it up ." "It could be important ." How many times have you heard that ?  It's a nuisance .I've nicknamed it Nosy Parker .It is ill mannered,it interrupts whenever it wants to - like the middle of the night . It gets out of control yet people don't put a leash on it .  It creeps up whenever it wants to ,anytime and anywhere. Talk about stalking- it's a pro at that . It scares the hell out of you when it comes up unexpectedly at your door . If you refuse to entertain it ,it pesters you . The word privacy is not in its dictionary .It doesn't understand that people may like solitude and their space. Imagine yourself at a theater,seated in a perfectly silent auditorium , engrossed in the most powerful performances being delivered by your favorite actors, at the edge of your seat ,waiting for the suspense to unfold ...  and suddenly it starts ringing!  It breaks the spell and the momentum . Hateful, vile, inexcusabl...

Magnificent miniature paper city

Paper craft  It's a city . Paper city ? Who made this ? It must be made of cardboard,I thought . I was wrong .  These creations took my breath away as they will yours . Mesmerizing stuff .Could almost walk through those alleys myself . Breathtaking city in paper .   And I thought I was brilliant at making those paper boats,planes ....oh well ! Never mind . Worth a look .  These figures come from the “Lavazza Fairy Tales”. The announcement was made in animation by using stopmotion technique. It is installed in a paper city. Buildings are made three-dimensional and the characters are bi-dimensional. In order to make the publicity, more than one thousand paper shapes were used, and each of them has a different movement. The shapes were drawn, at the beginning, at hand and then, modifi ed in the post-production and afterwards, in the end, cut with a cut laser printer. Houses are made in shapes of polystyrene cubes covered by thin cardboard sheets. Don't miss the intricat...

A ball of confusion

                                                                                               Earth from the view point of a Martian ( if he exists) If we isolate ourselves from Earth , getting away some distance from our world ,it would help us focus our attention on what it is otherwise too obvious to notice while we stay on it . To see what we may be really like it will help if  we  put ourselves into the  shoes of a "Martian," if he happens to wear such an invention of the earth in the first place  .  So what do Martians see of Planet Earth ? What they see today is a population of over six billion people crawling out from every nook and corner like caterpillars . Now ,almost all of  this six billion devote a signific...
