Benefits of being organised

Less Stress means you can Relax more   “Organised people are just too lazy to search for stuff.” That’s cute, but I’d rather be the “lazy” one mentioned in the punchline. Less time spent running around means more time. Just, more time to do what I want to do, like, spending time with your friends and family. Less Stress also means Improved health. The stress I mentioned earlier, which I feel when things start to get out of control, does not promote good health.  And if you are a parent, you are setting a good example for the kids.

Things I love about Auckland

On the night of 24th August 2013 when I was walking with my friend Calvin on Anzac Avenue. We saw two people arguing & swearing at each other. As we approach them, we decided to cross the road to avoid any trouble. But then I saw two people actually fighting on the middle of the streets. Immediately I reach out to my cellphone and call the cops - 111. I was talking very furiously with the police caller.  Surprisingly, the conversation lasted less than a minute, usually it takes around 20 mins.   Operator: Where do you want to get connect to, Police, Ambu....(Interrupted) (Speaking furiously to the operator) Me: Police Please! Operator: You are connecting to the #police now. (Few milliseconds later...) Police Caller: Where is the emergency? Me: 72 Anzac Avenue, Auckland Police Caller: What is the emergency? Me: Two people fighting on streets Police Caller: What is your name? Me: Ashish Bijwe Police Caller: Can you please spell it? Me: A S H I S ...
