Recently, I had an interesting conversation with a few
like-minded bloggers. We were brainstorming about a new initiative which we had
in mind. At one point we happened to discuss about Work-Life balance (You know
when you're talking with a group of bloggers, you end up talking about
everything but the intended topic). People spoke about how work-life balance
was critical and even if the scales tilted slightly to any one side
inadvertently, things might not be smooth.

At this point, a senior in the group asked all of us to define what work-life
balance was. We knew things were bound to get interesting and waited for people
to give their own views.
Of the many versions of the definitions that we heard from others, the most
striking one was given by the person who asked all of us the question,
'Life-Work Balance : When you can talk about yourself for 5 minutes without
mentioning what you do at work, you can conclude that you maintain a very
healthy balance.'
