65% increase in the rent and double the deposit! We digress - so anyway...he went to look at a house which another colleague was staying in who had in turn taken it over from another colleague. This is a very nice large one bedroom house - a bit close to the helicopter airpads but still nice. He was dissuaded from taking said house [which is quite reasonable as well] by the Big Boss who states the house is bad for relationships. Reason being first colleague who stayed there took the house as a newly wed and remained in the wedded state for a very short space of time. The girl who took over the house also went through a very bad patch with her husband - Big Boss has also decided the house where he lived with his ex-wife is also bad for relationships. I don't buy this funda - I agree some spaces can bring you negative energy but I seriously believe that a person's positive energy can definitely deflect and dissipate it!For that matter, my argument is all these people with bad relationships, they all work in the same office space - how come noone has realised that space could be the fault for all that's wrong in your life? In fact, this is something that was pointed out at the very beginning as soon as I
joined that the number of divorced people in this office outstrips any others that I might have met. This is not to say that I have not met divorcee's, just not so many in the same sq.foot space! And there are people with bad marriages as well - people who have split and and are now trying to make it work, people who have decided to live seperately for work reasons - I mean all these can be tied in to a single office space - is anyone using that as an excuse? It's very convenient to blame a location as a cause for discomfort espescially when it's so difficult to look for that cause inside you! Another theory that I have which is actually a world axiom is that like tends to like - which explains why all the strong minded, strong willed people come together in a single office space and have difficulties in their relationships! I don't know the reason for half the divorces - heck! for a single one but I do know from seeing the very successful marriages in my family [they all are - it's scary sometimes!] is that your spouse needs to be paramount in your life - not a part of your life!P.S. Office people are also obsessed wit Vastu and Feng shui - with dots all over the office and my boss facing a particular even though there is not space for him and his laptop. I discovered this image of perfect office vastu...we don't fit in and this is why there must be dots all over to correct the imbalance - the things people will do!
