Ten Commandments of my life!

2010-11-26T07:13:00.000-08:00

Oh hello there again! I have this zillion thoughts running in my mind now! So, you don't have an option but to listen to me my blog.....

1. If you cannot enjoy the day today, you can never enjoy the day tomorrow!
2. If a thing has to go to the dumps, it will anyways go..Y run behind and waste energy !
3. Never take things literally the way they are a) they make it boring b) coz they never ain't the same!
4. If you do not treat yourself well, well you are in for trouble coz no-one will!
5. Never postpone a fun activity that you can be part of today!
6. Chronology always makes sense when it comes to treating people!
7. Intuitions works 8 out of 10 times!
8. Every minuscule thing happens for some reason or other!
9. I can envisage all the signals for a royal destruction if either heart or brain starts existing alone!
10. Humor is the quintessential part of life!You only grow by criticism

Notes on "PASSION"!!!

2010-01-21T06:09:00.001-08:00

Passion - Have you ever thought what does this word really mean? You must have heard this word right from the stage when you went to high school to graduation in all the contexts like education,job,new found love,not found love,music,arts,literature etc n etc.And today I have discovered a meaning to this word and thought of penning down my thoughts so that I do not lose it in the Whirlpool of existing confusions!!To be precise I am not talking about a passion which acts as the source for bread & jam but as the one which always serves as Red Wine with richly baked almond cookies!!This is one aspect which stabilizes me when the external environment devours me! This has the ability to awake me up from my deep slumber!This enables me to think that Sky is the limit!This always reassures me there is a solace!I was wondering for a long time that the set of blessed people who has potential to be evangelists are a rarity!But to my surprise I realized that it is an art that is practiced with an intense , non giving up passion!

P - Powerful
A - Anecdotal
S - Supreme
S - Summons the Soul
I - Indulgence
O - Oxygen stimulator
N - Noticeable!!

Feel after the 'Awaited' Moment!

2010-01-19T01:53:00.000-08:00

Here , I am sitting after experiencing the moment which i was yearning for the past 2 years in my life!I lived the life of a techie for 2 years and was mulling over the IT Grind.I still remember the moment when i bagged my first job in Life. It was a bright evening with lots of anxious crowds around me dying & vying to bag one of the excellent jobs in campus.Thinking about it now,it feels like I was an innocent kid who just enjoyed the candy bar in the hand without having no thoughts about tooth decay or any of that sort!I wanted to live that moment of happiness again...But today ,after i bagged jobs with one of the best employers in the country,the childish happiness was not existing in me! But I felt for the first time that I have grown up!Rather feeling of getting evolved and staying at the state of tranquility gave me happiness. I was feeling happy to realize that the constancy factor in the emotional graph is scaling up.These times also made me realize that 'It is better to do a job where you master at rather than craving for some unknown'.It is better to listen to one's own heart rather than going by popular perception.

GD's - A different game altogether!!It s an art of its own with a mixture of emotioness like anxiety,calmness,agitation,anger,INTELLECT..

And the Personal Interviews!

Interviewer - We will get back to you
Should be assumed 'he will never get back'

Interviewer- Tell me something else other than your resume
Should be assumed ' I want to hear more about you

Yet again baby!!!

2010-01-16T03:08:00.000-08:00

The lyrics that pops up in my head whenever the devil of anxiety raises up in my blood vessel shooting up the temperature of my heamoglobin content are 'A Freak like me needs infinity.Relax...Take your time...'!! I am going to be sensing the exothermic reaction of adrenaline & cortisol in my target center/adrenal glands which is released from the pituitary gland!The rush is good in a way to liberate extra energy...This actually arouses an interesting question in my mind,'If getting scared /nervous stimulates the flight/fight muscle,why do people say that performance is not high under the times of stress'?!Confusing trivia!!Getting stressed in a positive way is effective than spreading negative emotions around and deteriorating the situation..

Oops..Ran out of ideas due to hunger call!!Catch u more with the next post!!

Its all about me!!!

12 Jan 2010

Whhooo!!!After a spell bound party yesterday nite, I felt as fresh as the drop of dew which blanketed the sleepy raising rays of sunshine !!I danced till my leg folded its hands and begged me to rest!I was synchronising with the music till the moment where my body refused to move!Be it a pulsating tone or a hindi or a punjabi or an english number,I was jumping to touch the sky every single minute of the party!!Though my body refused to race at the speed of my heart,my brain pushed me to experience the Fun till the last moment!!I was lost in a crazy world to just realise I need more fun loving moments like this!!I did not care anything in the world except that moment where I was celebrating the treat of life!!was surrounded by all sorts of crazy people around who were lost in their own worlds of fun!!I was also one of the millions of victims of human addictions and pleasure!I experienced happiness to infinity!My heart yearned for 'More'!!My sanity in mood of insaneness re woke me up to many facts!The loud music, racing heart,adrenalin rush ,tapping feet took me to the world of happiness!!

P.S - Dedicated to more Fun Moments like this in Life!!Cheers!!!

FEAR Re Looked!

2010-01-10T04:22:00.000-08:00

The first thing which echoes in my head when i hear the word FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real!! How can one really stop the humane emotions?!Anything limited is good,even FEAR!But there is a constant racing in my heart to imagine the un seen reality and getting scared!After all it has been companion for 24 years i cannot just discount it without listening to it and making an action plan! My companion always comes with a twinkle in the eyes and a confusion in the head which makes me march seeing the other side of the grass too!!It tells me there are good things for which i have to fear for!It creates a tension in me which ignites the fire inside and induces a rage to achieve !!Fear is of course a boon when looked with logical brains and a bane when looked with just fearrrr!!!How many times you have realised that Content Producers mint millions of money out of these emotions....Exorcist,Paranormal activity,Bhooth etc are all after all blockbuster movies which strives on this emotion!!

So,Welcome back my Friend,lets party together and enjoy the treat of life!!

Dichotomy!!

2010-01-08T23:08:00.000-08:00

Unreality in Reality
Fakeness in Originality
Cruelty in Deep affection
Demon in God
Devil in Angel
Hattteee in Love
Materialism in Love
Danger in Happiness
Bondage in Seperation
Freedom in Slavery
Pull in touch
Enemity in Frenship
Despise in Lust
Kindness in Mayhem
Poverty in Royalty
Royalty in Poverty
Sin in Virtue
Beast in Beauty
Beginning in an end

The list goes on and on.......

Why does every single thing i encounter seem to be a dichotomy to me?!!!

Attraction,Infactuation,Fling,Love,Break ups,Committment,Marriage... These are the words which we keep hearing the moment we enter the age of 15.the one question we keep hearing time and again 'So what's your status?'.'Best cue to find if the person is interested in changing your status when this question is asked' .n keep stumbling across different people..half of them you think are jerks,half of them you like talking to once n others you like talking for a period of time..n very few you want to talk to forever!Estrogen & Testostereone gets charged up and deprived in different phases...Half of the times you feel 'Being single is a bliss'..& other times 'Why god ,Why'!! this is one of the in evitable things !!!You keep hearing categorizations like 'Fling is for the daring ones'!'Love is for the softer ones'!Cutting out all that,you cannot avoid getting addicted to 'Romance factor' in Life..Vitamin 'R' is more energizing than Vitamin 'D'.. The moment you acquaint with a guy who has striking personality ,your inner sense wants to talk more to him...Ohh! Wait a second ,it does not stop there..talking turns to spending time to more time to a state you do not know what to do?!!There you are lost in the fake reality wondering what to do without realising its all a farce and it is the step to get hurt more!You behave like a child who worries more for the chocolate instead of the pain after getting hurt!!!You cry over nothing to realise at the end that 'Oh man ,did i really cry for that..u must be kidding me'!!After a period you grow up to a stage where you realise that this entire game of attachment/love is nothing but a set of chemicals like pheromones,dopamine,norepinephrine & serotonin gets released which leads to loss of apetite, excitement ,loss of sleep!!!Ahh!! so you feel 'What the heck ,but no you can't escape the bio chemical reaction that happens every time you fall for a person and life is futile without it & we all knonw we need it and hence keep waiting for it'!!

P.S - Now don't ask my availability Status!!

Those times ~~~~~

2009-12-16T00:57:00.000-08:00

There it started ,the game of placements /period of anxiety , restlesness or testing times!! These times make me discover my own personality..how much ever i try to be devoid from that plane of brooding over and moaning over little things.the loan of 9 and half lakhs are taking a toll on me!!The game is getting more interesting in a way ... But i know one thing for sure there are better things in store for me and worrying infact will deprive me of the left over positive energy.N it also made me think that deriving positive energy from myself is better than searching it from the environment..Though it feels great to hear motivating words from frends around,deriving it from others is not a very healthy practice and is not very challenging!! ...Striving hard for something has its own benefits and sweetness!Placement times make me think 24*7..I am focussed on an important change that i am awaiting..this is the time to reassure my beloved ones and ME my worth again.and to stand credible to my promise which was given 2 years back!! my brain is rattling with non stop thoughts !! life is a game with few good chances..i am trying to.grab the better chances and keep fighting.till.il reach to the top of the ladder!!Above all , i believe in destiny...n almighty!!

P.S - Waiting for the right momentssss

Movie Review - 2012

2009-11-21T01:47:00.000-08:00

2012! Roland Emmerich director of 'Independence day' & 'Day after tomorrow' made me watch the trailer. The brilliant trailer made me shell 150 bucks and go for the movie!The ambience was very poor which de energized my enthusiasm to an extent! The movie starts with the dialect between afro american and indian guy.. It made me feel happy for a second about the acknowledgment given to the indian intelligence! Then the afro american guy is shown conveying the idea about the forthcoming catastrophe american president..then started the world of illusion...The usual cliche of america initiating to save the world is repeated...Can't really blame though,it is after all production of Columbia pictures!The american president is portrayed as the most noble person on earth!!China is portrayed as the future of next world and super power america getting destroyed!India is again shown to be the country of sufferers, poverty , non influential, in capable of grabbing opportunity etc! Afro american vouches for indian!!Attempt has been made to appreciate the concept of universal brotherhood!I was not able to stop myself noting the shades of bollywood in a movie from the director of 'Independence day'!!

P.s : Sony has got its good share of product placement !!

Good things about the movie : #Excellent graphics,# Interesting story line, # Excellent promo
Bad things about the movie : # Un wanted emotional glitches, not even 1% real

Overall it was a good watch!!

Suffering!

2009-11-15T03:24:00.001-08:00

Suffering - What does the echo of this word ring in your mind? Despise, Fate, Scars of life, in separable part of life?? Well, to me these days , it looks like it is exciting, purposeful... I am not kind of liking things which i get easily with no effort! Something inside me makes me believe that things which are obtained after lots of struggle will be long term and bring me lots of happiness... N my experiences of life has taught me that things should not be obtained in a fast pace, the late the better...i am not able to accept things which i get soon..Thanks to the classic,Fountainhead!!! One who suffers and survives it is the hero rather than the one who succeeds in the first trial!! The journey is more important...because the journey is what we live and that is all what it counts! But unfortunately most of the days are spent thinking about the past and the future knowing the fact that it is not going to take me anywhere! This minute,i love outbursting my emotions! N i like blogging it and there i am doing it!! Most of the best things in life are momentary and instaneous..... Suffering is fun , good, purposeful,meaningful,great !!!!

The Sound of Silence has always drawn me
The light of darkness has always awed me
The hope of the hopelessness has always inspired me
The optimism in pessimism has always wondered me
Oh my Heart which hears me
And the brain which speaks to me
Wake me up from my deep slumber when u hear the voice that speaks this!!!

Random Musing!

2009-10-24T06:32:00.000-07:00

Heylo there!! Here i am, back blogging again! The murmur deep within me brought me back to this social space and let it out! Writing is a liberation of its own kind. Writing lets u live out of the frustrations inside, bring out the random thoughts and share to the world... I am not a frequent blogger...I am not the kind of the person who wants to jot down each and every day of my life to be recorded in some social space so that it can be scrutinized by some random person who lives in a random place! ... I adore people who can pen down their thoughts in a beautiful way! I want to belong to that league one day down my life! So, I save the act of blogging for special occassions when i want to outpour the sea of emotions and to bring myself to a state of tranquility! So , what s on my mind now ?!!! I am 24 years old and this lets me wonder what have i ever contributed to this society?The next moment i am carried away by the thought of future without realising that future drifts me away from the sense of past guilt!Life looks more interesting now as i have started associating every little detail with a rational approach. The paradigm of the life seems to have changed! I am learning lots and lots each and every day as the life progresses. The act of learning keeps me going! Lessons in life have made me realise that 'Optimistic failure is better than a pessimistic victory'! ..Its not the success that matters,rather the love you attach to the work you do ,enthusiasm about the entire process and the learning carved out of it!!

Thats all for it now ,folks!!!!More jabbering later!

Life ..Sigh!!!

2009-06-17T23:24:00.000-07:00

This life has its own path! Here every single day is a journey! Life is a lesson to be learnt.... Each and every minute here differs..... Life is not a plan to be executed,rather it is a lifetime to be lived!! Certain things can never be answered! Its all about which path you want to go on and what pain you are ready to digest! it s also about the worst loss..... its an interesting game and an expensive glass to be handled carefully!! Self determination,control,confidence,hope,dream makes it an exciting journey!!!

Phases of life!

2009-03-07T06:32:00.000-08:00

Last year, the same day i was thrilled to have got call from one of the prestigious management schools of India. I was excited about the fact that i will jump into the bandwagon of marketing proffessionals and hit off my career with the rich experience i gain!! Thankfully, to my surprise i did join the elite group and was jumping high on the fact that i am into the best marketing school of Asia.. The orientation program was a different experience where i met people with different thoughts, talents,backgrounds,language,lifestyle etc etc... I was contemplating to be a part of the group or be a part of multiple groups and never connect with anyone to the intense level.. After an year things make me believe that i belonged to the latter.. though i am happy about the fact that i have gained few good friendships whom i can run to anytime in case of any trouble i meet here... I have definitely learnt many things which has made me highly individualistic n also a guilt exists most of the time that my effort goes in futile..I am not able to count anything as an achievement..though my mind constantly urges me to achieve something... This leaves to almost an intense battle that is happening within me most of the days... n there are many questions which are to be answered... I am signing off this post with the hope that these queries which seem to destroy my inner peace gets answered soon!!

Lyf is a tuff game!!!

2009-02-17T21:28:00.000-08:00

Well, my usual energetic tone of starting the blog is not existing within me today... It seems to be a gloomy day! The professional career seems to be dizzy at times!! I hear a constant voice inside me that i shud break out of the norm, shud not follow the herd but an apprehension exists as in if i will never have that POD in me!! I do not wana ramble in vacuum space manipulating something and ending up in nothing!Why is this game of lyf getting tough???! I know its not a cakewalk but y cant it be atleast a nut which can be cracked!! The only thing which i have in abundance and which keeps me really going on is 'THE HOPE'.... I actually need it more !!Thinking of such facts like this creates a laughter in my head givin the message that 'Lyf is a funny game'.... Whom we think will stay for ever,walk out of the life and whom we think we will never even interact ,we get acquainted with them..lots of such things keep happening...ppl whom u think friendly start acting cold suddenly of no reason!! Life is a circular game,jus that with some people,the circle never gets completed and stays a semi circle for ever... but certain things keep happening again n again n raise the frustration nerve popping up all high!! Well here,change is the only constant thing!!!

State of Muddle!

2009-02-15T21:19:00.000-08:00

It is a bright sunny day! The day starts with a frustration due to the 9 o clock classes which are the ones i really really hate to attend! But the class is one which i feel i can never miss even i don have any sleep! This is one of the few classes which makes me participate,think , feel happy about! It leads me to a state of muddle also as which path should i take in?Is it account planning/brand management/media..all i am sure is i do not want to end up in Market Research coz im well aware of the fact that i do suck in numbers!! Yeah, lots of mulling has been done abt my future career.. well, to speak about the present, things all seem to go fine! Ive learnt one thing for sure! Worrying is not going to take me anywhere!n confidence is what one needs!n confidence is what ppl like 2!!I wana live this beautiful life with splash of different colors...i would prefer it to be always yellow with high tone of red but cant really avoid it getting blue at times, then n there i have decided to bring on some purple n green :)... Most of the times i get abashed n it leaves me thinking that i am struck between the core values of a tam brahm and the cool ,upscale,trendy lifestyle!but im v happy that i have moved on to the centre of life where one grows up n start thinking in a matured way how certain things does not carry any value at all!ive started realizing and thinking which forms the essence of life! ive matured into a person who is not judgemental, living the life in its own course, accepting the fate, out of the coccoon,the comfort zone, getting the flash of the reality!!I so want a fresh breath of life where i am out of the virtual life and have everything in place in the physical life!! Still, whatever it is i have started enjoying the ups and downs of the roller coaster called LIFE- Leaping Internally Fumbling Externally !!

Transitions of lyf!

2009-02-05T04:41:00.000-08:00

The journey of life is interesting! It is a mixture of up's and down's. It is a sack bag of good ,bad and even moments where u practically don feel anything!! I love to believe what shakespeare mentioned as we are all actors and world is a stage! Well,the purpose of the blog is not to sound philosophical,,,this is yet another verbal form of certain emotional outburst's.. nothing s gona happen rambling upon in vaccuum space! Every single person is selfish here irrespective of the relationship you share! Only difference in the close knit relations is the variance in the degree of selfishness!! As the journey continues, perceptions get formed, get varied etc... What you thought was the best thing few years back might make you wonder how could you ever possibly think that to be a matter to be even considered! Nothing is permanent in this world! Only thing that sustains and will keep you moving is the knowledge that you gain!!

Where is the world going?!!!

2008-02-07T04:09:00.000-08:00

It was 5.30 AM in the morning.I wanted to take a brisk walk to enjoy the beauty of the dawn ! I sipped a cup of tea to energize my system.. It was six past 05 AM when the sun started spreading its vibrant rays all over the place!! After forty five minutes of brisk walk, my exhausted legs deserved some rest .After 15 minutes of rest, I returned home.By then,whoomp!!the time was already 7 past 30 minutes. The beautiful morning hours has passed and the hectic day with herculean tasks was on the verge to start! I was rushing up to reach office in time.. As i stepped out of house, the panic of traffic hit me... I was annoyed by the attitude of the people driving .. The Chennai roads lacked a decorum.and in the most of the places it was totally a chaos..u need to exhibit ur driving skills .this is the only place where you can find cycle everywhere irrespective of signal is red or green..they drive as they are the sole propreitors of the road !! Frustration was already at its peek even before i reached my office.. Finally i hit the doors of my office.. Before i could even swipe my ID card , the adrenaline level in my blood shooted up thinking about the review results done by my onsite SME for the task done the before day!! Thank god, there were no roller coasters for the day!! After 12 hours of hectic work, my body was totally exhausted depriving me of energy and enthusiasm to enjoy or relish the silence of the night!! the only solace was the loud FM's ringing in my ears!!Gosh!! this kind of life where frustration is high is a dent in the quality of life !! Big bucks do not bring happinness... rather contentment is wat matters at the end of the day!!This IT world where you earn lot of money brings you home lot of other problems too, both physical & mental... No body can change the world .! Take pleasure in every little thing, this will reduce the stress level and do not expect much from life.... Being happy in the little success we achieve at the end of the day will take us to great heights of contenment and further down will enhance the quality of the life..

Innocence to Efficience!

2008-02-06T18:18:00.000-08:00

Innocence of child's heart is the purest form of human being. This is the reason, even why children are compared to the almighty!. Child's presence can be the best stress buster. Their innocent plays and cute words can make even a stone heart to melt.. Every child is special and is god's gift. The way they are brought up plays an integral part in their success ! Channelisation of thoughts in the positive direction and creating a postive energy is one of the vital duty of every parent. To do this effectively, ample amount of time need to be spent with the child and lots of care and affection need to be showered upon the child. But in today's busy world ,people are very much career oriented and rat race is ever going on. As they say, if you run after expectations, you ever keep running!! Rather than expecting a mountain out of mole hill and exerting pressure on the kids, we must let them enrich in the field they are fascinated,no matter what it is! By doing this, we can discover great talents in them and let them grow as an efficient person and in a broader sense,youth icon to our nation!! As they say,nation's growth depends on individuals! So,lets get realize our duty and importance and get started towards this huge yet simple task!! Jai Hind!
