After a very long time, I have made good friends at work. I meet lot of people everywhere. I like to meet different people, know them and read them.

Learning about people is always fun. I try to understand their minds, approach them knowing their frequency.
I seamlessly move with some people and it has been very difficult to understand some of them. In some situations I move away from people whom I cannot get along with.But definitely knowing people is a good experience.

I also hear people ranting for various reasons at various times. How do you feel when someone rants ? Do you feel sympathetic ?
Or do you feel motivated that you are in a better situation than them ? How should one feel ? I am clueless at times when I do not know how to react when people tell how bad they feel about certain things in their lives.

I have had a war within myself to react well and be patient to listen to what others have to say. But I also feel that everyone has difficulties in their lives.Sometimes people forget to count the blessings and talk about their difficulties as though its end of life.

For each of us our difficulty appears like giant mountains. There will be no fruitful outcome in comparing each others difficulty level.There are some of us who rant openly and there are some of us who keep our worries within ourselves.Those who do not open up appear as though they are very happy but that doesn't mean the person does not have hard feelings.

Learning psychology and reading minds is very vital. I try to understand people's mind and react accordingly. All that I see is there is problem everywhere.
Most of us conveniently do not understand others but expect others to understand us all the times. I think being sensible about what we are complaining, to whom we rant and putting ourselves in others shoes will help us realize the reality better. What else can I think of ? May be doing this will help us to be better individuals.

Need of the hour





A completely preoccupied mind needs a vent. When there are several thoughts crossing the mind and the mind doesn’t know which one to process and address…..uhhhhhhh. This definitely hurts the head.

It is so much nice to close the eyes and to let the thoughts flow. To follow the thoughts lined up like bogies  and to not get involved and not to get stuck in them is an art. The moment I involve in a thought, my mind reacts to situations, anger, criticisms and everything that will hurt my head. Is it that hard to meditate? I try to meditate but am so caught up in my thoughts that I react to every small thing.

Calmness is the need of the hour.

CHANGE

Things do not change; we change.

Isn't it very true ? We desperately look forward for things to change. When we cannot change things that are not under our control, we try to show our anger on irrelevant things and change irrelevant things only because those are under our control.

Today I made one such attempt to change my blogger template.

Some people give free advice to others very well. I do not like people who advice for others which are purely personal situations to them. I feel I am the right judge for my situations and I know how to handle my stuff. Who are this other people who provide their suggestions for marriage, kids, job etc.I do not give suggestions to other people unless I know the person really well. Also everyone is entitled to their opinion and can act accordingly. Why should someone impose their thoughts and justify that it’s the right one? There is nothing called as right or wrong in this world. Leaving the situations which reflect value system, everything else is in one’s perception.

मन और आंसू



मन से उसकी बातचीत हो रही थी
उसने प्यार से बोला, विश्वास दिलाई
की इस मन को प्यार से देक्भाल करेगा

मन उसके सुख दुःख को उससे बोल रही थी
इक दिन उसने विश्वास को टूटके मन को कतोर्था से चिल्लाई
मन भोज को उठाकर, बिना बोले आंसू पोंछने लगा

उसने विश्वास की थोड़ी भी याद नहीं किया
और मन गलत बनकर गलती का भोज उठा रही थी

Friend Request ?

To me definition of friend is, a person who really cares, is not jealous, truly feels happy in your happy moments, feel equally bad in bad times, and help when needed. Treating the other person with respect shows the real friend in a person. The tone in which a person talks, the way a person treats other person mean a lot to me. I do not like people taking the other person for granted, demanding, making fun in front of others, letting down in front of others.

I have always hated when a so called friend talks between the 2 in a group when others in the scene are totally forgotten. I believe in etiquette and I am totally uncomfortable in such places. Two people can talk but eventually they should let others in the group know what they discussed. If it’s something that cannot be shared it could better be discussed in private.

Social networking websites help us to get connected with friends, colleagues, acquaintances, sometimes so called friends. Most of the times we even add people whom we have not seen, met and probably just talked over the phone hardly once. Sometimes we end up getting requests from people whom we know with traits that I have described above. I knew one such person who have made me totally uncomfortable in several occasions and now wants to add me in her network. What kind of a person is she?

It gives so much relief when I ignore and just move on with my work when such requests come. There is no better diplomatic reaction I could think of other than this.

Dil boltha hai

In the last few days, there were so many who asked if I were on facebook. Well, I was so tired answering to people that I am not.

To speak out my heart loudly and to tell about my perception towards facebook/orkut, I hate being on any of those social networking website. I like the concept of social networking site in terms of technology but I am simply not the kind of person who can be on it and share my likes/dislikes with the entire world. To me, it is more like allowing people to invade my space. I cannot be into something just because everyone else is. But I respect LinkedIn which is the other form of social networking site. I analyzed thoroughly before getting on to it. LinkedIn is so nice and so easy to be in touch with people professionally. There is no need to share one’s likes/dislikes, photos, scrapping others and I am glad there is no such thing on it. I love the fact that the top news allows us to be on top of tech news.

I have hand full of friends and I am in touch with them. I really don’t care about others whom I do not want to be in touch with. That is ME. There is no way I am going to change just because some body asks me to join one such site. I do things that my heart tells me to do and I cannot do anything different than that. When I do otherwise, that’s when I can’t be in peace and get irritated. Being a true fan of all the google products, I am still not convinced to be on google+ despite of getting several invitations. All the features are very interesting and the fact that this product came out so soon under Vic gundotra’s leadership is very inspiring. But the concept of creating a public profile and showing all the products the user is into is something I am not happy about. Why can’t uniting on a portal feature and revealing to world be an option? Creating a profile is ok, but a public profile is not ok according to me.

There is this very close friend of mine who always teases me that I am not in touch with lot other people and I am not in one of the snc. I keep quite because this person is a very close friend of mine. There are times when I just get irritated and talk back to him saying that I cannot be like him and do all that he does. To me there is nothing called as right or wrong and nothing called as one should do this/ not do this. I always thought some things are purely one's perception and no one should be forced.

Someday if I am on one such site, then I would have had a very strong or compelling reason to be on it. I wish no such compelling reasons arise rather I wish it needs to be convincing.

Judgemental Conclusions


I have been thinking to write this post from a long time. This post is about people’s preconceived notions and judgmental conclusions.

It is general human tendency to judge people given every chance. This is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Don’t we have definitions for everything in life? We have several judgments like old people cannot adjust to new age, homemakers don’t have to have a quality/enjoyable life, well educated people can only be respected, a sophisticatedly not dressed person cannot get into a posh mall and the list goes on.

Few years back, I went to a shopping mall. I was there buying a handbag. I met my friend who came with her mother in law. We were talking for a long time and they also accompanied me while I was shopping. My friends MIL suggested few good ones and told me “You can buy whatever you want, because you are earning. Also you might want to take a good one while going to work”.
I was not very happy to hear that. Should only working women buy and enjoy what they want? My friend was hurt even more because she was a homemaker.

I have known few people who have set definitions about homemakers. Many people think that a homemaker does not earn and hence she doesn’t have to spend and live her life. Some divisions in corporate companies are called supporting divisions. These divisions don’t bring revenue to the company. So usually these divisions have very few team lunches and get together parties as the division has to spend from its pocket.
Similarly many of them don’t find it interesting when homemakers have a car of their own, go to beauty saloons, buy a nice dress from Lifestyle, have a smart phone and so on.
The reason behind this is very simple! Homemaker is not an earning member.
The first thing that comes to human mind is why does she need a car? Isn’t it enough for her to have a normal phone?
I feel enjoyment is a perspective. Anyone can enjoy anything and one doesn’t have to qualify for enjoyment. Life doesn’t have to have parameters always. It is totally ones perspective.

Sometimes back xx was contacted by a hiring manager for a job opportunity. xx was a well qualified person and also had few remarkable accomplishments. The hiring manager was a person with an engineering degree from IIT karagpur. This person was founder and CEO of a very small sized company who was hiring people and deploying in client locations. He proposed a deal to xx and forced xx to accept the opportunity. Precisely he was desperate to hire xx. xx very clearly mentioned to him that she was not interested in the opportunity. He was very sarcastic and teased xx that it is so hard to find a job of xx’s choice given the market situation and that she cannot expect anything better than his deal.
Well, here who is this demanding and controlling person to make decisions for others? If xx was from a similar institute, would he have dared to talk like that? Anyone has the right to dream anything and go to any heights they want. Education is completely different from knowledge. Education helps a person to gain knowledge. My theory is it doesn’t matter where one gets educated. Knowledge along with affability; decorum is all the more important. Else that education doesn’t have value.

I have worked with a manager earlier who was born and brought up in a village in Coimbatore. When I moved to the US, he was supposed to pick me up in the airport and help to check in me in to the hotel. This person always talked sarcastically to everyone and no one had a good impression on him. He enquired if my journey was comfortable and if it were my first international travel. When I said yes, his sarcasm went to the extent that he asked if I were excited and peeped out of the window throughout my travel. I was very hurt but unfortunately had to keep my mouth shut as I was destined to work with him for few months. What he did not realize was may be he did that when he made his first travel, but I have traveled enough times within India itself. All it takes for people to get accustomed to new people, place, food, dress is just an exposure. Lack of it is not a criterion to judge someone.

I have many north Indian and hindi speaking friends. Few years back I went to a south Indian restaurant with 2 of my north Indian friends AG and SR. AG likes south Indian food a lot and loved eating in plantain leaf. SR was totally against south Indians, their food and culture. But SR is a good friend of mine. I always gave enough time before knowing someone. May be some of her past experiences made her have such strong opinions against south Indians. AG ate rice with paruppu (lentils) on the plantain leaf and SR did not like it. She thought eating with hand was very cheap and it it did not appear very good to eat that way in a restaurant.
I strongly opposed her opinion. May be that is what she thinks but doesn’t have the right to control the other person who loves to eat that way. Who cares how we eat? We pay money for what we eat and eating with hands does not harm any other person. So what is wrong about that?
I feel silly rules are what we create.

Unfortunately there are several situations like this for many of us. But we remain silent most of the times and let it bother us for years together like how it did for me. A political science graduate is a CEO; a government employee who served the Indian government for several years is a CEO of an IT giant, a Chartered Accountant is a Global HR manager, a scientist is also a painter, an engineer transformed his career into drama, a moderately educated person runs a tv show and the list goes on.
If only scientist should invent we wouldn’t have had monalisa painting.

I feel this world and one’s life is too big to be judged too early.

The Garbage Truck

I read this story very recently. Sometimes we know very clearly what to practice in our life. But we fail to do it due to circumstances. However, we get reminded of them when we read such stories or articles. Here is a very nice story.

How often do we let other people's emotions affect our mood? Do we let a
terrible driver, or a rude comment ruin our day?

The mark of a spiritual aspirant is how quickly we can ‘regain our focus’ on
what is important. One man learnt this experience while he was in a New
York City cab. Here's what happened.

He was traveling in a taxi, on his way to Grand Central Station. All of a
sudden, without warning, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in
front of them. The taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded and missed the
other car's back end by inches.

Then, the driver in the other car, who nearly caused a huge accident,
whipped his head around and started abusing the taxi driver. So did the
companion sitting next to him! One would have thought that it should have
been the other way round!!!

But the taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. The startled passenger
sitting in the taxi said, "Why did you take it so easy? The guys almost
caused your car to crash and send us to hospital!"

The taxi driver laughed and then related what he called, "The Law of The
Garbage Truck."

"Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of rubbish,
filled with frustration, bursting with anger, and packed with
disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And
if you let them, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump it all
on you, don't take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and
move on. You'll be glad you did. I assure you.”

The passenger started thinking how regularly he let garbage trucks run right
over him? And how frequently he took his own garbage and spread it onto
other people, at work, at home, or on the streets? It was that day he
promised to himself, "I'm not going to do it anymore. Enough is enough!"

Over time he learnt how to distinguish when a "Garbage Truck" was coming to
dump all over him. He noticed the junk they were carrying and prepared
himself to avoid it all being unloaded onto him. Like the taxi driver, he
did not make it a personal thing; he just smiled or waved or wished them or
did all of these and moved on!!!

We generally get disturbed on reacting to situations, to people’s opinions that we don’t like. Don’t we? Also we have an aversion to a rude comment, those who tease us, those who underestimate us, those who gossip about us and lot more.
A few years back, I started incorporating “The Law of Garbage truck”. I ensured that I don’t let anyone’s negative thoughts influence me. Generally we forget what to do when we have many more challenging situations and that’s what happened to me. I forgot totally about this law. I was reminded of this law sometime during last year.

I know a person who keeps smiling always. When someone talks rudely, he just doesn’t react. He says it’s our duty to keep our heart as beautiful like a flower and we need to try all possible ways for that.

But our mind is like a coin that has two sides. We can take conscious effort to practice good things. But isn’t it tough to remain the same always? When I do that I get a feeling, am I trying to clone “Mother Theresa”? Also it gives a feeling of being fooled. No……I don’t want to do that. I just want to remain the way I am.
That’s when we forcefully unlearn.

We can practice all good things and we can do it only till the threshold. Once that’s reached, we just can’t bear things and we react. No harm in it. Sometimes we need to let the world know what we are and who we are.

Shouldn’t we?

Different People

I know it’s been quite a long time I wrote something here.
Happy New Year All.

I have been actually meeting different kinds of people over the past
few days. My friend keeps telling me, just don’t expect things to be rosy always.
People are not the same and don’t believe one can be there for you sometimes.

In the past few days what I learnt from this world was, these days many have lost
the art of talking. There are some people who think talking is like nailing on a
Wooden door. The politeness that one has to inculcate has become a bygone manner.
Recently I had to get in touch with few people for seeking their help. I was always
been replied with a mono-syllable answer. I could not conclude whether it was their
habit of answering or they really don’t want to take the pain of answering. I was not
in a mindset to be optimistic and consider them to be their habit.

There are these other people who always move in flocks. They remain to be in a team for
years together and try not to get out of their shell. Prioritizing a relationship does not mean avoiding or ignoring other relationships. Strange, people feel acquaintances are risk.
I think it’s often they look at the darker side of life thinking that they cannot get along with new people. They miss to give a thought that it could be the sweetest experience too.

There are these people who are extremely helpful. They are so broadminded that they can do everything for someone. They value relationships so much that it gives a comfort feeling for the other person. They are one among those great livings who empathize and are great helping hands.

There are these kinds of people who seem to be getting along well. But actually it’s the necessity that makes them or forces them to get along. I wouldn't say they are completely true.

There are these people who always think about the kind of impression that might get created among their friends when they step forward. They are good but are not bold enough thinking that their friends might not like them helping other than the one in the circle.


Ok, ultimately the crux is one forgets empathy, thinking s/he is very assertive. People are under a wrong impression that if one has to be assertive they should be extremely hard hearted. Well, being assertive does not mean one has to loose all those soft qualities or empathy completely. Sometimes I feel taking care of oneself is not only the purpose of our birth.It extends to so many qualifying deeds one has to render during his lifetime. Helping tendency, empathy, politeness are in fact an art of living. Small changes in ones attitude, manners and habits can multifold into many good things. Even if someone cannot be a helping hand still will not hurt.


Its formula that I thought of would bee too good. If you are helped at your critical time, just remember you are entitled to help someone in need another time. Count your blessings.

Crackers-Diwali

The moment we hear about diwali celebrations, no doubt crackers add charisma
to it. During my childhood my sis and myself have had enough enjoyment and have had loads of fun burning crackers.
I usually chose burning the lighters ones. I am still quite scared about the noisy way of celebrating diwali.

It’s been close to 10 years I totally stopped burning crackers because I took an oath not to encourage child labour. I have a strong feeling that any social change does not happen all over a night and its tough for a single person to fight and put things to an end. So if every individual bring in a change and contribute for it there can be a change in the society. Though I was interested in burning crackers I took an oath and followed it till day. But today when I read krishashok’s blog where he had mentioned about crackers being sold with a label “Made without Child Labour”, I was little excited on reading it. I was taken away for a moment that probably there were some changes being implemented for social reformations.

But then I realised this is no less than “cigerette smoking is injurious to health” kinda label when cigerettes are being sold.

Mere marketing strategy!

Funny explanation yet thoughtful

Note:
[I wanted to publish this post a month before. But some how I was not comfortable about it. When I read the post for the first time, my tone itself brought out a feel of sarcasm. But my intention was not that. The conversation in the post made me really laugh but at the same time pity about someone’s aspirations being shattered.
I hope the real epitome of the lying fact is rightly delivered.]

A newly joined employee sits in my bay. Initially when she joined she used to be so quite and V used to tell me that she never talks. Slowly S and I got acquainted to her. She was mapped to a project as a shadow resource along with her other new joined friends. Almost whenever we get to talk to her, she speaks about her manager how reluctant he was about even talking to them. Almost everyday she came late to the office (After all flexi timing has to be availed at the maximum possible extent, no sarcasm meant). Poor she claims that she gets bored sitting like a dumb at office (but she plays games, go for long coffee and lunch breaksJ)).

We once had following conversation.

Me: Hi X! So early to office?
X: They said, am gonna be given challenging work.
Me: Good. That’s why you seem to be so brightJ

After few days:

Me: Hey X. Back to square 1 is it?
X: Am tired. We are thrown out of the project again.
Me: Hmmm. But why do you carry such a huge bag to office?
Started off with any preparations or what?
X: Hahaahhaa. Smilie, you know I have 2 novels and many color pens and magazines
in the bag.
Me: What do you do with color pens? And when do you get to read novels?( I could see the latest Harry Potter and the deathly hallows on her desk).
X: I read them during travel and also sometimes at office. I do keep scribbling pics with my color pens.
Me: Generally I have seen people carrying huge bags for bringing tech books for reference.
X: You know smilie, I would be proud to bring such books without a bag at least to show that am occupied at office. Now that I have all junk I got to cover them up.

X was giggling and said she is avid fan of harry potter and so gonna take a day off to complete the last book in the series.
X might be accepting the situation helplessly but I feel the thirst of knowledge at work place is diminishing in many such X I come across because of over recruitments and also they are derided mostly.

Disclaimer: The intent of the post was to bring out the fact that the career aspirations of many such X are deprived.

Unpredictable sometimes

Sometimes the world seems to be so still. To my dismay I could not think ahead and find out what do I have to do. Life remains frozen and with the hope that there would be light at the end of tunnel, the days are passed by. There are so many dreams, ambitions and desires to be fulfilled. But its all misty as to focus on which one is priority. People near by cannot understand what is rolling within. A hitch at one point makes to fumble at another point.Often ending up with unpleasant arguments. Not sure who is to be blamed, but for sure does not help longer. I believe time would bring in a change.

Does this happen with many?

Waiting For a Spring

I have been working in the IT industry for considerable amount of years now. The very first thing I understood was, either you slog like an owl day and night or remain to be free like a donkey aimlessly. When I was a fresher in my company, I used to be exuberant and any piece of work given to me would be completed with greater commitment and passion. No doubt the commitment is still there. Creating opportunities and grab anything that comes to me used to be the motive then. All that ransacked the mind was, one has to have learning curve irrespective of work culture and the kind of coworkers they have. Over a period of time I was quite skillful in the technology I was working and did not require any external motivation to get over the trauma of being new to something.

The industry accepts a person that he/she is comfortable enough to handle things after a year of experience irrespective of he/she has worked during that time. Anyways the first year in my career was so hectic. I had enough learning curve and was even proud at those times thinking that I was blessed to work in a hottest technology in the market. Nevertheless, I still claim the technology is interesting, but the work what I do matters.

I have always observed that the work was like a fluctuating weather. It’s either scorching heat or biting cold, but never a spring. Last year my project was demanding more than 18 hrs of dedication in a day. passion turned out to be pressurising rather.I should say people were ruthless to approve leaves even when we tend to fall sick. There used to be times when we get back to home past midnight and back to work in the morning itself. The minimum time to afford for eating and sleeping were also difficult. When the other members in the team required leaves in their critical position, one member in the team has to always compromise .Challenging work and the hope of climbing up the ladder always helped to revive the spirit of accepting the situation and not appreciating the complaints that persisted. The stressful work culture made me think many times even to look for better options. But running from a problem does not help and nothing is assured that one may not face the same situation in a different place. I used to have a feeling that only my project is so tiresome and others keep enjoying the luxuries that the company offers.Though I am a kind of person who really does not like such work environment I was still helpless and had to accept it.

I fathom that, change is the only constant thing. Now I could hardly see stressful projects. I tend to remain with a feeling that almost many are relaxed checking emails and playing games. For having worked so hard for a long period, one really deserves such a period when one can devote more time to their personal priorities.But over a period of time ,remaining workless at office hours ,makes one feel guilty for not doing anything. I am very sure the company does not loose anything as it expects to work only when it demands.Its wise to make use of such time in preparing for any technical certifications or any other note worthy thing.But continuing with it in long run does not give any pleasure and it also creates boredome soon.

Well, the trend of the industry is in such a fashion that one has to swim with the tide. There is no point in howling about it. But I wish there could be some pleasant season as well ,where in one can work only during the business hours, typically an ideal balance between personal and official hours.

I am not here to conclude anything, but then thought would share a general phenomenon that is prevalent across.

Life's success depends on right attitude

Never believe the lines on your hand to predict your future,
because people who have no hands also have a future.
-THINK!

http://library.thinkquest.org/04oct/01056/HellenKeller.htm

The above said quote was sent as SMS to me. It was thought provoking indeed.

When I was in my college days, there was a professor from a different department
who used to travel in my bus. He was a kind of person who had an interest in palmistry.
He was very friendly with everyone but always created an opportunity to read palms.
I am a kind of person who is curious about all these things. I believe in it sometimes and sometimes I have a feel that am just curious. May be it depends on what kind of impression I have on the person who reads the palm. I was once forced to be a victim of his palm reading. I hardly remember what he told me, but am sure many of what he told me did not turn out to be true.


At some point of time in life ,when we end up with problems which we think are unsolvable, we run away from solving the problem and start analyzing our fate or future. Instead if we start working on how to approach the problem and solve it, am sure we are close to completion.


I have interacted with visually and mentally challenged children. I had once been to a school for visually impaired children. The purpose of the visit was to aid them to read their academic portions as they felt they required some assistance in it. The children were nostalgic when they had new people to get acquainted with. I was there to assist some 3-4 children who were around 12 yrs old. I was also there to teach them computer science. I thought them for quite sometime and they really liked it. Later we started playing word building, antyakshari and many more. There was a guy in the lot who had excellent keyboard playing skills. I was thrilled to see his talents. I learnt from him that passion and optimism can bring out excellent results.


Most of the success in life lies in self confidence, determination, perseverance and on top of it optimism. Optimism is like a seed which gives nourishes favorable results.


I personally feel from many of my experiences that, we can come out of any critical point when we remain to be bold, patient, persevering, optimistic and leave the rest to the almighty. The thought really provoked me to write this article as I wanted to bring out the fact here that life does not depend on the lines in palm.


P.S: Fellow blog writers can log in whatever they feel on the article, in the comments section.

Disclaimer: The post is not intended to hurt those who have belief in astro science. The motive is to bring out the essential attitude one has to possess.

Feeling in the Corner

After a long time I checked the leaves I had accumulated over a period of time. It was almost close to 26 days and including the weekends would make it a monthful.The point that immediately stroked me was if I were not with my family and were working in a different place, I would have immediately planned for a vacation to enjoy with my family. But the whole point of thinking this itself was defeated in first place as am already with my family. I was playing a flash program many times in my mind about iterating the thought of taking leave and telling my mom about it. Each time I got a counter comment with different reasons why I cannot avail it. One of my relative was getting married. I am planning to take only a day’s leave as the marriage falls over a weekend. I know they are expecting me to take more leave. But what am I going to do when they themselves are going to be so busy after the marriage? It doesn’t make sense taking leaves for impressing them and finally when am not convinced.

I thought I will ask my sister for some jolly trip. She herself is running short of leaves. Poor gal too much of embarrassment if am going to ask her and when she cannot help me out.

Imagine just amma and myself going on a so called jolly trip or break, leaving out the actual fun with the family .Well, I did not want to enjoy any such virtual fun when I truly know when that does not satisfy me at any cost leaving sis and dad.

What can be an actual enjoyment for me was bothering too much. I want to enjoy at the maximum that at any moment I should feel am satisfied and lemme die at the moment as well as also feel lemme live longer for enjoying some more time.

I was glancing through some of the feel good things I had wanted.

Learn car driving, buy a car and drive to my office.

A day starting with lovely espresso. Watch a movie that moved me and I can afford to watch it any number of times with a good company. Eat any number of lays chips (because no one can eat just one) without bothering that it’s high caloric. Eat manakka manakka rasam sadam and vendaikkai kari with ulundhu appalam. Have a sound sleep in the afternoon and go to beach in the evening. Enjoying the tides and playing with water. Eat bhel puri and channa pais at gangothri on the way back. A heart throbing music with a dim light at bedroom and make me go off to sleep.
Can I call it a day??

Plan for a holiday trip to a place which has plentiful greenery. Lovely waterfall where I can play and enjoy the nature. When am back from the waterfall, it should rain there after and I love getting drenched in rain. I know I will fall sick, but that’s fine. I can eat the usual pills for cold and can become a’right.

Can someone really understand that I like them all? Hope they all come true. When does a person really feel happy?? I think it’s the wish one has in the core of mind that needs to be equated even before finding ways to be happy.

Too much money chasing too few goods. As the statement means is it not the scenario in India these days?If one can think of this in economics terms, this is what we call as "INFLATION". what kind of effect this has over the aam janta? I see our heart of the city T.Nagar(chennai) always flooded with people who are ready to shop at anytime.Noone cares the price tag...The trend is just look at the good at first place, find it impressive, pay the money & keep going.Noone cares the quality of the product.noone takes time to see if the product is worth spending. When i go to buy provision the person at the supermarket does not bother to repay me the balance amount if its meagre.In the sense these days 1 rupee and paises dont have value at all except in the bus where conductor always barks saying "am i wrking at reserve Bank to give you change ?".Once i asked the sales person in the supermarket for a balance of 50p.she said sorry i dont have.I told dont you apologise when you cant give me the right change?she dint even bother to listen me. The very pathetic state is people have lost human values.Everyone has a mentality that they can buy anything at the cost of money.

Whenever i think of this sconomic condition i used to imagine a balloon slowly getting bloated.The picture that forms before me is a person blowing a balloon in a very drastic manner such that it finally bursts down.
