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 waved good bye to our buddies leaving to the states for higher studies…
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………..
we missed our mom here …..
we cried for each other …….

Lets Be thankful for every day.....
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.
