Just A Thought

Yestday ie; sunday I was alone at home...couch potatoing.This made feel damn lazy so I put on my shoes and left home in afternoon in scorching sun to my yoga classes.It is one of the most wonderful place in bangalore.Very peaceful and greenry everywhere.There is a meditation hall in the campus which I never visited.
As I was in a dim mood thought of going to the unvisited place.There was a presentation taking place from some swamiji...
Now that made me sit there(I usually don't believe in any such preachings) and hear him.
Here comes my conclusion for the 2 hour preaching he did.
I dont like these artifically sweet,all-is-right-with-the-world people.
Oh yea!!!!! I will die of diabetes if I attend one more session like this.
For some reason,the righteous people who take all these moral highground and start preaching to everyone are highly hypocrites.Because if they think all-things-are-good then why do they waste time in pointing out all these things to the 'meanies'?

Uuuuggghh!!!!! go ahead, tell us that we are jealous.Jealous that we are not the one who are happily skipping in our sugar stockings.So you can jolly well continue to pretend that you are the enlightened one.And though I dont care much what these people call themselves as, or what do they call us as.But I do care to tell you people(the preachers)
"All you angels can go back to LaLa Land.All humans are invited to stay back here".

Package Deal

*I really like that person.If only he/she was a little more understanding*
The point is that we all do this at some point of time.Let me explain,say we like someone,and then we wish we could calibrate some of his/her personality.In software terminology we dont want version change,what we want is tiny upgrades. Isn't it??
If you cant accept the person for what he/she is,then you dont like that person.He /she is somewhat close to your idea of perfect friend or love, and you knowingly or unknowingly try to bridge the gap between what that person is today and how he/she should be.But have you ever thought that if that person was "perfect",he/she might not be your friend.

Lets not ask for too much.
Lets accept people for what they are.
Lets not try to calibrate someones personality to suit us.

*Its a package deal.Take it or Leave it*

"Does evry Post need a Title"

I know I know you all are familiar with this,its soo good that i could not resist myself **wink**
SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had timeTo call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Redefining.....

Its sooo amazing that, our life was sooo simple when we were studying.We put our sincere efforts, give exams and wait for the results.
As rightly said "U reap what U sow"...
this was excatly happening,very direct consequence of our efforts.

How I wish, life was the same...there was very less space for uncertainty.You put in your sincere efforts you were guranteed of results.But now, life is just unpredictable...
Many a times your hardwork and efforts are not valued.Everybody say "Hardwork will always be rewarded" sooner or later..but will be.....
Who in this world has patience to wait for later...I must admit I don't have...
So here am changing the proverb
"Smart work will always be rewarded"

*wink* *wink*

Gift from Santa....

Yiiipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,
Guess what, I got a testimonial today from a very dear friend....
Here it is...[name is edited by me,to maintain the anonymity :)]

My friend wrote:

"Writing a testimonial for one of my best friends...

Here it goes _ _ _ _ _..

You have always been an enthusiastic girl ever since i have known you!!!
Of course we were out of touch for so long....but i could connect to you so easily when we met...I mean u just haven't changed....you still have that innocence in you which is so extinct these days!!
Now if you ask me to describe you... I am sure this would suit you the best!!!
“A girl with loads of attitude and charm that i am sure attracts a lot of people :-) “

You are someone who is so accommodating...not a single trace of pretence...
Full of life....happy doing whatever you are doing....willing to change...
So optimistic...always doing the right things...
Do you know that sometimes it can get very tiresome for the people around you to handle so much of goodness?? ha ha...just kidding...
I was so happy to find that, to an extent we have similar thought process...I hope someday we'll be able to execute all those thoughts that we shared!!
I admire you _ _ _ _ _.....hope you spread your innocence and goodness to the people around you!!
Hope all your dreams come true....keep that million dollar smile of yours always intact!!!
Love you :-) "

PS:Thank you sooo much dear...this one of the most precious gift... :)

Goodbye '07.... Welcome '08

2007 was when.........
we got some knowledge of corporate life....
we made new amazing friends.....
some of us moved to a new city.....
some of us longing to move back to our old city...
some of us celebrated our 23rd birthdays..... Got to know we are getting old L

we bid bye to our buddies from the training...

some of us fell in love........
some of us got married......
some of us fell out of love
some of us got hurt
some of us lost a few friends
some of us felt disappointments

2007 was when...
we made mistakes
we made life decisions.......
some decisions turned out to be a tragedy
some of us felt lonely ....
some of us made some amazing friends in a new city
some of us learnt to be stronger…
some of us got to know how to have passion for something.....

some of us realized that everything happens for a reason.....
some of us let out our anger.....
some of us never opened up to our friends about how we felt....
some of us felt so glad and happy to be the way they are.....
we go out everyday and meet up with our friends...
we had serious talks with our parents about our future.....

we missed each other when we were at hometown………..

All the Very Best For The Year to Come.....
WE guys are going to definitely Rock this year........

PS:[Too good got it as forward]

I Cant Stand This!!!!!

One thing that gets on my nerves is the double standard people.I have known some in my professional life...
But I have learnt how to handle these people...thats very easy, be straight on face to them...
I know I know, thats a very bad solution but these people are no angels, you see!!!!
I wonder how these people pretend like saints and still be mean and shrewd at the core...how do they face themselves..how do they answer themselves...don't they have any guilty conscious.

Well I am not saying am Ms.Goodie De Good...I am surely not from any La La land...But atleast I am not a hypocrite...
As said "Too much thinking is injurious to health".
So lets leave these people all by themselves.Ofcourse learn from them how not be a bad human and at the same time how to handle them.Lets not teach them or rather preach them about etiquettes of being good...coz born habits die hard...

PS:[Today again I used this blog as punching bag and hit it hard :( ]

Just like that

Insipid talks are often fun.This I discovered today...I was chatting with a friend for good long 1 hour.And if anyone would had asked me what was I discussing,I bet I wouldn't had any answer.
But I guess thats fine,isnt it??
Not every conversation you have, should have a purpose neither everything you do should have a direction.Sometimes you just flow with it unknowingly but happily.
Time is said to be precious but sometimes its fun to loose time just like that...

I know,I know,now you might be thinking of those moments you have never ever thought important but was just flown with it...
*wink*

Ripples....

My friend had called me after a long time.....when I heard the voice I felt like she needs me that moment....
She is just gotten out of a relationship.Its bad sometimes when you think what Love can do to you...It sometimes can make you to doubt yourself..doubt your ability to trust others.
The worst is you are still in love yet you doubt the idea of love....
If love can do beautiful things to you,it can also do the worst things...
Do people deserve this??
Will she love again ??I hope so....

I can read your mind and know your story,
I see what you are going through,
Its an uphill climb and not that easy,
But I know it will come to you,
So not surrender bcoz you can win,
Love comes to those who believe in,
Thats the way it is........

Mountain-out-of-a-molehill

I wanted to write about this from a very long time....Is it only me who encounter these sets of people
1.Who think themselves as highly humours and crack all those PJ's(poor jokes).
2.Irritating characters who can pick up the smallest, most irrelevant and most trivial issue and bug you to the core.

Or everybody does??

But its the worm inside me which makes me think that I am here to correct people when they are doing incorrect things.This always makes me get into argument with the above mentioned set of people.Always I have wasted the precious moments of my life in doing so.
For the first time in life,I was able to let go.
All this, thanks to a friend who keeps telling me very little in life is worth losing a sleep over.Thanks....you know who you are :)
And all because of my this attitude, now I feel like laughing over these people rather than slapping them.I feel good....as I have changed for good...

My frends wedding

Heiiiiiii me back again after a vacation....ya again I took a long leave and this time the occassion was a best buddy's marriage...
She was looking sooo happy and very very pretty...I was very happy for her.Seeing smile on the face of person so dear to you automaticaly makes you happy.I met lot of people some schoolmates and few of my dads collegues...It was a beautiful feeling that you meet people whom you knew, after along time and still find them the same...soo modest and caring...
I was enjoying every piece of conversation I was having...
There were instances where I myself used to go to them and introduce myself(they couldn recognise me coz they had seen me as kid). I'm a person who usually becomes an introvert in functions or crowded place....I try to find a corner seat and just be silent spectator.Even if someone hits the conversation with me,it hardly lasts for 5 mins
But things were different this time...to my own surprise I started the conversation with people and guess what it was good...
I guess am taking am earlier post seriously...making everyday count...

Everyday Counts

I was watching the movie yestday night and one scene of the movie "Bluffmaster " I liked soo much.The doctor says to AB
"Tumare zindagi mein aise kitne din hai jo tumhe yaad hai?
Dus? Bees? Tees? Tees saal ki zindagi mein sirf tees din."

Am touched by this dialogue.It made me take ought to make everyday count.To make a everyday worth remembering.

This blog is actually my teacher.Sometimes I read the old posts to digest my thinking and learn the art of living :)

This blog is my punching bag at times.Today I want to thank it for taking my hitting sometimes.


PS :- Worth mentioning I got a dedicated reader...yipeeeeeee...I mentioned as asked ;-)

True TV-Commerical

Times of India Ad,where the tag line is "Lead India"

Yes,I always believed in "To be successfull be daring be different".
This Ad made me think that believing is not enough it should be implemented to have faith in your belief.
Let me think what I always wanted to do but was hesitant about doing it.
"I have always wanted to have tea after having an ice cream"
"I have always wanted to chase the rain"
"I have always wanted to take a trip,around the world"
"I have always wanted to quit on monday morning"

These above lines were just to inspire you to think what you always wanted to do?
What is the one thing you always dreamt of being or doing?
What is your inspiration?

Ok I'll start, so that you can comment me back with what you want to do

"I always want to be honest with myself ".

Its your turn now....

Apparently....

Hilarious...
The US embassy thinks that the "WANTED" poster of Osama will get them results.

Oh com'on Gimme a break...
Guys always don't understand what's the big deal about a bunch of flowers.

Irritating...
NRI's think that the passport they carry is the partiotism in then...(no hard feelings)

Behaviour...
Sometimes,someone seems so close and sometimes so distant...any explainations??

Inspiration...
"Boondon mein jaane kya naya hai......"
There is something new in the raindrops
(Suzuki Alto ad)

Amusing & Funny....
Microsoft Office Assistant Paper-Clip
A message poped up "U have hidden me several times lately..Do you wish to turn me off completely?"

Confusion...
The most difficult phase of life is not when no one understands you;
It is when you don't understand yourself...

I Pity....

Life is too short...Why waste it on impressing others,wondering....

What will people think and denying your own self...

If you spend our LIFE this way...

Then I Pity on you...
Let us dig a lill deeper and try to find what we really want...

I read this somewhere

"All good things must come to an end for better things to begin".

Is it so??

I thought good things gets transformed into better things.

I believe in moving on...and not stopping to start some new thing.

I have seen variety of people in past few years...

Let me take one set of people and describe them.

Deep relationships,thick friendships,meaningful conversation, all these scare them.

There is a difference between living on the edge and living on the surface.

These people try to keep things shallow.They like to keep it on the surface.

They live on the surface.

Whenever things starts getting into lill deeper, they escape.....

Oh yes...I Pity them...

Adolf Hitler....My Hero

I am reading the novel "Adolf Hitler" from few days...guess what.. I liked his character.

I know..I know it sounds wierd...

Hmmmmm..But what to do sometimes am wierd...geeezz...

After reading this novel I started to write this post(well this poetry is for Hitler)....n this time it was good...

You come in the world without your consent...

and live it against your will.

In between you are constantly being..

misunderstood and misjudged.

If you have brain you are considered dishonest,

If you have none,you are branded useless,

If you enter a bar,you are a drunkard,

If you don't you are a coward.

If you give to charity,you are a self advertiser.

If you die young,you have a great future before you.

If you live to ripe old age,you are out lived your time.

When you come in the world everybody wants to kiss you :)

but,before you go out everybody wants to kick you.

Nature at its Best (Episode 2)

Hum jo chalne lage tho..chalne lage hai ye raasthe..
Manzil se behatar lagne lage hai ye raasthe...

I am usually never at the loss of words,but this time on the way to my native I didn't had words to describe my mood. It wasnt the feeling of Exicted!!! Elated!!! Happy!!!
Well Relaxed may be the word which may be nearer to what I felt.
A feeling which I rarely felt in Bangalore nowadays...
I spent nearly 3 hours sitting idle on the lush green grass inside the fort...it was feeling of serene

Let us go and waste some time of ours.
Maybe, sit on the grass and read a book,
and smile for no reason?
Let us go to the state of mind
Where we are not imprisoned
by limits of boundaries and fences
of thoughts,of traditions,of expectations.
Let us go and waste some time
talking about the sky and the clouds.
Maybe,slow down a bit,so that i can see
and hear the canary from history.
Maybe,not run so fast,so far,so soon.
Who knows,tomorrow I may run out of the ground.

Admist all these good feelings I missed something..
Yea the happiness which I get when I hang out with my lovely friends at lunch breaks r at snacks in the noisy cafeteria...
The serene feeling should be temporary as we are all so used to this noise,that long silence may be dangerous to us....

Nature at its BEST........

Musafir hun yaaro...

Na ghar hai na tikhana...

Muje chalthe jaana hai...

Bas chalthe jaana... wink wink ;-)

Yes..just now returned from a week vacation..I must tell you that I am dead tired, but at the same time it was a wonderful vacation..I travelled and travelled and travelled...

And yes this time it was a planned adventerous journey..Had done country side travelling...

The occassion was cousins marriage and I was visting my hometown after 5 long years..So I decided to take the country side road rather than the luxurious highway..and every moment was worth the pain..[actually my back went for a toss ;) ] when I reached the destination..

The roads were really pathetic without a single patch of tar found.

My first stop :

The backwaters of Varahi Dam near Hosangadi in Shimoga district which is on the way.

My next stop:

This is a very old fort in a place called Nagara...The fort is almost ruined but the place just mesmerizes you

My final stop was:

Rani kere...There are seven small canals which has a significance as it is said.These canals never dry off, even at the extreme hot summers.Many geologists have taken this place for their research.




[PS:More photos to come with much more experiences...]

Around the Cup of Coffee

Me and my vry good friend stay in the same city,but we manage to meet up once in month...huhhh...busy life you see...LoL...
But whenever we meet we spend a quality time(excuse me...not shopping around..).We chit chat hours n hours...until we are tired of talking and then enjoy the silence for a while...
Recently we met up for coffee(thats how this post is titled)...and started our talks with glory...
Suddenly to both of ours surprise we were discussing something serious this time...and yes the topic was "Brain Drain"..
My friend came up with this typical definition "The emigration of a significant proportion of a country's highly skilled, highly educated professional population, usually to other countries offering better economic and social opportunity " ...(yes,you got it right he is preparing for his GRE's)
I was not agreeing with him... (this was not the first time we disagreed)...I came up with my definiton of Brain Drain.After a while I thought about what I spoke and was totally impressed by myself.
I said..."People migrate to foreign countries to acquire global skills and get expertise in their respective fields..this is called "Brain Gain" but this turns into "Brain Drain" only when they don't use this skills for the benefit of their fellow countrymates and most importantly their country ..."(U know sometimes I talk tooo gud...LoL)

Ok, jokes apart this is soo true..Then we both were silent for a while engrossed in this thought...we both had a kind of guilty conscious because being in this corporate field we were so very used to doing services with expectations.Either recognition or hike or promotion..the feeling of selfless service was now nowhere near in our life...
Me and my friend had given a thought on this "Around the Cup of Coffee"..... We are happy that atleast we thought of this at a very early time in life...

What goes Around..Comes Around...

Was watching the interview of Sush..my fav heroine...

She said something that stuck me for a while..

"Life is nothing but evolution...from butterfly to caterpillar then again to butterfly..."

The Circle of Life.

Someone hurts you, and you cant hurt the person back, so you hurt someone else.

Again Circle of Life Geeeeez.

No am not telling you what I do...Everybody has a devil inside them,howmuch ever you hid it...

The world is not fair and Am no angel in it....

Price Tag...

In my recent posts I have described myself as analytical person...sometimes it comes with a price tag..rather a hefty one...

All the free time I keep judging people whom I know and whom I don't know..

I am aware of the fact that I'm also being judged back, but I am not bothered about it.It may sound like being arrogant but the actual fact is,if people who are judging me are those whom I really don't care about then it doesn't really matter what they think about me.I used to get emotional when I'm judged by my family and friends,but now even that doesn't bother me.

When people pass opinions on me I just shrug my shoulders "I am what I am",you cannot do anything to change that...I know very well that I am not perfect, but I believe that I am good.I am happy that I am honest of what I am.

There is a thin line between judging someone and making fun of someone..lemme try to find the appropriate word for this.Yea the word is ridiculed.

People judge others in front of you but when they are joined by a group that judging soon turns into ridiculing...this makes me wonder if you are being ridiculed by someone in some converstaion in some instance.

Is it so easy to make fun of others?Is it so easy to comment on others?Is it so easy to break trust of your friends?..Well frankly speaking I don't have the answer for all these questions...

All I know is..I have seen my friends how they laugh on others infront of me...this makes me fear that how much they laugh about me infront of others.

This is the price I have paid for my hobby of analysing people...Realising the fact...

Such a Long Journey...

We are almost nearing the end of '07...one of the unforgettable year of my life.Many memories to treasure, many lessons which life has taught me...

I was travelling and had ample of time to switch on my virtual time machine and rush back in the lane of memories.

Sometimes only memories is all that we have.Some happier and some that makes your eyes moist...

I wished,I had a real time machine so that I would edit those unpleasent memories...the words which shouldn't have been said...the relations that shouldn't have been broken...I wish I could....

Its been almost 2 yrs I started working(Experiences about my workplace will be stored for later post)...

Earlier days of work,I used to poke fun of people whose lives revolve around their work but gosh slowly me too am inching towards that.Bigger targets,bigger budgets,long working hours blah blah blah...

At times all these was soo very frustating.At times soo fabulous...(wel actually I'm running out of words for the first time)...

Somewhere, between January and December life changed, like never before.

Somewhere, between fiction and reality I told you my story here, in these posts.

Somewhere, between lonliness and crowds I made some good friends, I think.

Somewhere, between office and home the world seemed different, and so did I.

Somewhere, between hope and foolishness I learnt to let go. Painfully.

Somewhere, between ambition and fear I rolled the dice, and didnt lose.

Somewhere, between duty and care you stretched me, too much.

Somewhere, between boredom and adventure I did the things, I never would.

Somewhere, between 'do' and 'do-not',I regretted things, I never could.

Somewhere, between love and friendship some stayed, and some others left.

Somewhere, between words and silences poetry began to make sense.

Somewhere, at the threshold of this year,

I perched on the tower of hindsightlook back and say,

It wasnt all bad or all good.

Look ahead and know, It will be better.

[PS: The poem above is from Casa... ]

The best way to joke is tell truth......

The UN conducted a worldwide survey.

The only question asked was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?”
The survey was a huge failure.
In Africa, they didn't know what 'food' meant.
In India, they didn't know what 'honest' meant.
In Europe, they didn't know what 'shortage' meant.
In China, they didn't know what 'opinion' meant.
In West Asia, they didn't know what 'solution' meant.
In South America, they didn't know what 'please' meant.

And in the US, they didn't know what 'the rest of the world' meant.

Chase

Perfection is good until you are only trying to reach it..but if you are obsessed with perfection then you need help...some serious help.

One of my friend had writen a blog on chasing for what she wants(now here peeps out my some-what over analytical mind..wink wink)

I think we always want,what we cannot have..kind of forbidden fruit theory...

We are always in the urge of finding the greener grass not realising that we are standing on the greenest grass ever...

This makes me say that we have stopped getting the feeling of content in relationships,family and we have started looking it in our careers.Its like we are all running in a rat race,chasing for things like perfect job in a perfect company blah blah blah....

And the day we achieve it, the fun of perfection about it is lost...

And mind you the operative word is still perfection here....Strange isnt it...

Whether it is running behind the perfect dream,perfect job,perfect guy or perfect girl...the game planning or the chase for this gives you the actual content than the moment of achievement...because the moment of achievement is just a moment atlast...

All of us fantasize a world and start our rat race to achieve it...

Here I am teaching myself very slowly, that if tommorow I have to let go somethings, I should still be able to survive...

At some point of time in everyones life the fantasy and the reality will converge and should converge...when they converge lot of questions remain unanswered...

But there is always a feeling of content that you asked those questions.... Isnt it??

Summane....

Jine ke liye socha hi nahi da-rd sambalne honge...
Muskuraye tho muskurane ke karz utharane honge..
Muskuravu kabhi tho lagtha hai...
Jaise hotonpe karz rakha hai...

Tujse naraz nahi zindagi hairaan hu mein....

Summane...I felt like writing this song of Masoom...guess what its my hello tune now-a-days :)
Sometimes my somewhat complicated and somewhat over-analytical brain does wierd things...jus like this one....

I write to be honest with myself..which isnt easy...I bet you on that....

Winter of Thoughts....

Weather in Blore is soo very unpredictable....the mornings are foggy and dreamy..the afternoons are warm...

And there are fools like me who find these extremes pleasent...Like Wonderland....

Sunday morning is a feeling of heaven...with a cup of coffee i sit by my window from where the warmth and the light of the pleasent day steps inside my lill house and I look out,see the people...

People about whom I know nothing,nothing about their lives...Lives which now-a-days seems like clock..just ticking around monotonously...Lives which sometimes make me pale...

I pull my arms around me,not because of the chill breeze...but because of the cold thoughts that are rushing my mind.The thoughts that freeze your heart and mind...

I'm waiting for the winter to pass by...this winter of thoughts....

Why???

Straight from the heart....

I miss u.
But how come you dont?
And if you do,how come you never say it?
And if you say it, how come you never say it first?
And if you say it first,how come you never say it enough?
And if you say it enough,how come you never mean it?
And if you mean it,how come you never show it?
And if you show it,how come I never see it?

I miss you.And I know you miss me too.
I hope you knew that too...

Pendulum...

I was wondering actually...about a real difficult question ....
Yes now a days my mind keeps on wondering about wierd topics....
My mind swings like a pendulum between the feeling of being all alone and feeling happy and being a real social animal and having a gala time.....
Two contrast environment and my dual nature....People all around the world fall into three categories
1.Introverts
2.Extroverts and
3.Mixture of the above two....

Now let me wonder where am I in this list....I got my answer...Have you ever gave a thought about this??

Think about it sometime....

Happiness...

Recently i read a blog of my frend on Happiness...
Well yea i was inspired to write about this beautiful feeling...

Happiness is when u realise...I have realised the hard facts of life....Have you???

I had a real long conversation with a frend yestday...which helped me realise...
the true meaning of Friendship....
true meaning of the journey from being a stranger to being a frend....
true meaning of being yourself.....

And i must say...this realisation was a feeling of relief...
Yea....am all set to explore new horizons....
cheers...

Outlook

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else;
And for everything you gain,you lose something else.

It is all about your outlook towards life.You can either regret or rejoice......

So true yet very difficult to inculcate in our life....we keep on regretting every moment for the loos we had in our life and forget to rejoice the present moment....where as the vice-versa is very rare to happen....

Don't let someone become a priority in your life,
When you are just an option in their life....

Relationships work the best when they are balanced.

Well I never understood how a relationship is balanced but if it has to work then it will...
Actually Relationship works, when you don't really have to put an extra effort to make it work...

Over the same sea,over the same winds;
A ship sails in one direction,another in opposite.
It is not the wind that decides which direction the ship goes;
Its the sails;how they are tied and how they are maneuvered.

Similarly its not your fate that decides where your life is going;
Its all about how you take life and where you take it to.

Patriotism towards your city????

I am from "ABC" city...my place is famous for blah blah blah.....

Guess most of you hav come across such kind of conversation...same here...was recently travelling to my hometown....and the co-passengers sitting behind my seat started the conversation with most usual topic...."Am from ABC city"

And yes these people were from one of the most happening city of the world as they proclaimed....
This led my interest to eavesdrop the conversation.....
Yes,these people belonged to this set of cities{Delhi,Mumbai,Kolkatta,Bangalore,Chennai}.....Well i dont belong to this set of cities and i dont hav a problem with that...that doesn mean that i have a problem with these cities either....I heard one person say he is a delhi-ite....and how proud he is of the capital city...then the other person say that he is mumbaiya...and nowhere in the world you can people as helpful as in mumbai...
Yea....people usually get emotional and argumentive in comparing thier cities....I hav no complaints about this...I've always respected their feelings they have about their city/town/village....
Everybody loves thier cities...and if u have your childhood memeories attached with that place...you are familar with evry road and lane of that place...then u have every right to be proud of that place..regardless whether its the most renowed city or not....By all means be proud of wherever you belong to....
One thing i get anger about people is proclaiming thier city/town as the best in the world....well u haven't seen the whole world have you???....and yea people passing judgement about other cities...the malice with our society is that we have far more opinions than information...........

I know most of you will agree with me on this.....

CLICK....

Yeee...its weekend again..the most awaited day of the week...

Am done wit my work....today was real hectic...loaded wit work...amidst all the work,one of my colleague's last day in the company...
Ya one more person is exploring new options in life...this made me think about something which never ever CLICKED to me....
How do we meet some people...and then click as friends....
Not all good friendships are going to last forever...this doesn mean that its the end of friendship ....
Sometimes it may happen that...we may get introduced to a person by a friend...and then that person becomes our vry gud friend than the common friend who introduced us....now that is what i call 'CLICK' in friendship.....
In college days i used to hang out with my frends for hours together..but now we hardly meet once in six months....I used to chat with a friend in school for hours... but now i dont even know where is she...it is not because I din wanted to keep in touch..but i guess we moved on with time...some friendships are actually meant to last a while...
I will never ever think that it was the end of our frienship or be sorry for the long silence.....will rather cherish the good times which we had together...
Good friends are those with whom i can relate...eventhough i havnt spoken to them for years....yet feel like they are always there for me anytime....

Why do I blog........

Guess...this is the topic every person who blogs might hav jotted atleast once in thier post....

Recently some of my frends read my blogs...gav compliments....ye i must say my friends compliment vry humorously...
This made me wonder y do i blog????
Hmmm...I blog not because i want to be complimented by others...or commented by others.
I blog coz I want to express my thoughts...I think a lot..infact too much..analyse on various topics like friendship,professionalism,relationship,trust n blah blah blah........
These thoughts cant be dissussed or debated with evrybody...but I need some or the other way to throw out..more appropriately..express these thoughts ....So I blog.....
I blog coz...I want to....it is not a complusion to me...It is not a daily column in the newpaper that I hav to do it...It is not because I want to impress people who read it...I am under no pressure....Still I blog...Coz "I Want To BLOG"...its all about my satisfaction...my thoughts...my views ...It is interseting to see various comments you get... some appreciation and some discontent about your thoughts...This allows me to share my thoughts not only with my fredns and aquaintance but also with numerous people who are absolute strangers to me...still giv thier opinions on my views...So I blog....

The day when i find a more creative hobby than blogging...guess I will switch to it....
"Change is inevitable"....You see...Geez.....
Ye...I hav an excuse for everything....lol......

Being all Alone......

Hmmm...sounds like a full girlish topic right.Geez....
Until now i had never been to shopping all alone,but some days ago all my friends were busy with thier own plans.It was weekend and as always i was at home reading a novel...i was watching a program on NDTV Goodtimes..."Single Female Traveller". Thought its fun to be all alone.....be yourself..go whereever you feel like going...Ye...i got ready and was all set to spend the whole evening in one of the most famous shopping joints ofBangalore and i was all alone...listening to music..i roamed around...althought din shop much but was enjoying evry moment..Am i sounding like a phsyco..well guess not..you may be wondering who the hell in this world want to bealone...well i must tel you..try it... its total fun. Guess it was fun for me coz after a real long time..I gave time to myself..was just myself..No work pressure...No commenting on others(Secret..thats what we fredns do when we go out together..comment on evry Tom dick a harry) No coordinating with others as where to go next...no checking the list what to buy... Came back home and for the first time was feeling good aftr shopping(hehehe usually wil be dead tired)...This gives me a wild idea of going for a vacation all by myself....."single female traveller" U see...Geez....

Modernzation........

Last weekend was kinda hectic as i had travelled 600 kms...was a kind of piligrimage trip.While visiting all these places..a thought triggered me which kept me busy along my journey...

I am talking about Modernzation.....the temples are soo vry modernizied that now its become soo commericial....i sound like complain n whine about all these like every other person but ya...it really hurts you when you wintness all these ....the place which is supposed to be abode of peace is now soo noisy as market...i shouldnt be saying this as it may hurt the feelings of many devotees...but fact remains fact....modernization to a certain extent is good when it is confined to providing facilities but at the end...some things in life should always remain unmodernized...remote...n peacefull...After this trip i realised infact am cherishing the value of simplicity in life....

Everything is going to be OK...

There are times when i completely run out of words...specially when am trying to console someone...does dat person really needs u say..."Evrything is going to be ok"...when u yourself know that...it wont..how can that be?

Most awakward situation will be when that person is not that close to you...U will have that all made up sentence "Sorry about your loss...My condolence".When you know your condolence wont really help him to come out of this....If it was someone close to me i would hav given a hug...sometimes you don need to say something...but if that person is far away...phone conversation wuldn help....

Loss of life or something precious is always a loss...my saying everything is gonna be OK will not change it...You have to live your entire life with that...my being there will not make any difference.....

Wondering about........

One of good friend commented in the blog..write something of your own…am soo used to write in my private dairy that I hardly feel it comfortable to pen down something I feel in an online dairy (wel…thats what I call blog as J)…..
Let me write about this topic that I always keep on wondering about

What does actually FRIENDS mean to ME……

Seeme like a tough topic to put down in words….

Well my best friend is a person…who can tell me how arrogant and stubborn I am on the face and still likes to spend time with me….to whom I can go at any point of time n chit chat wit the most nonsense topic and still feel that i had a gud discussion…wil nvr feel like ending a conversation eventhough am feeling dead sleepy….
The only person who wuldnt be happy abut some good news I give, because it would mean I will have to go away….
Listening to me complain and whine about life and never make an attempt to give advice…
Am a person who looks like an extrovert to everyone but is actually an introvert in nature…

But to my Best Frend am an OPEN book……..

Reservation Sysytem in INDIA

I came across this...thought of sharing wit all of you.....

How convincigly an intelligent man speaks out his
heart at the no-sense move made by Indian politicians. I hope that
strikes them somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let's start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly.

The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit
by an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by an OBC
player should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs
should be declared as a century.

We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like
Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player.

Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 km/ hour to an OBC player.

Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.

Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an
OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters.

There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let's recruit SC/ST
and OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying the ministers and
politicians (that can really help the country...)

Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the
ministers and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country...)

Let's be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward...
Let's show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country.
Let's be proud of being an INDIAN...

May the good breed of politicians like ARJUN SINGH long live...


No offence please :)

Raining Faith

Raining Faith..........

A little girl had been shopping with her Mom. She must have been 6years old, this little round-faced, pig-tailed image of innocence. Itwas pouring outside, the kind of rain that gushes over the tops of therain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth that it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning, justoutside the door of the shop.

We waited - some patiently, others irritated because nature had messedup their hurried day. I was mesmerized by the thunderous shower. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt anddust of the world. As I breathed in the sweet smell of freshly soakedearth, memories of running as a child, splashing through puddles socarefree and delighted, came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.

The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we wereall caught in, "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said.

What?" Mom asked.
"Let's run through the rain!" she repeated.
"No honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.

The child waited about another minute and repeated, "Mom, let's runthrough the rain."
"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.

"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the younggirl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.
"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"

"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer,you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us throughanything!'"

The entire crowd stopped dead. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one moved, no one came or left inthe next few minutes.

Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now somewould have laughed it off and scolded the little girl for being silly. Some might even have ignored what was said. But this was a moment ofaffirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can benurtured so that it will bloom into faith.

Mom made up her mind. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If God lets us get wet, well ,maybe we just needwashing."

Then off they ran. We all stood watching as they darted smiling andlaughing past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case but they got soakedanyway. A few of the people around me followed them, hesitating atfirst, but soon screaming and laughing like children all the way totheir cars.

And yes, I ran too. I got wet. I needed washing.

I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions. Theycan take away your money and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories.Don't forget to maketime and take opportunities to make memories everyday. To everythingthere is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forgetthem.

ITS sooo SIMPLE to be HAPPY but soo DIFFICULT to be SIMPLE

I read this somewhere and found it worth sharing:
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.
Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."
Don't let the cups drive you... Enjoy the coffee instead
