Love of my life - Part 2

She has the most beautiful eyes. When she holds your hands, she makes you feel wonderful. No feeling in this world can better that when she is in my arms. Her name is Riya, though I would have loved it if she was named Raina.

She is my neice and just 2 years old. It gave me immense pride and pleasure when she refused to go to her mom n sis once while she was with me! How can I forget the time when she just came running to me to escape her mom! Some moments are just amazing.


There is this amazing connection that is present! May God keep it alive and bless her with all the happiness in the world!

Cheers!

Love of my life - Part 1

I have fallen in love a number of times! This one is about Brownie, yes a dog, a soft-toy!
Mom had bought this soft-toy, and it was mesmerising. It had a deep and wonderful pair of eyes. I literally used to caress and talk to Brownie for hours. It was at a point in life when I was really looking for a friend, and this lifeless creature breathed fresh life to my bones.

However, my love could last just for a couple of days, as Brownie was gifted away to my little cousin. Its lost away in time and might be lying in dust somewhere!

How I wish the lifeless but lively Brownie would be with me!

I wanted a pet dog after Brownie was gifted away, and left the cool chaas that I used to enjoy so much. I know, sounds crazy but, thats why I call that love! Scorpions are known to be really passionate, and I guess this is the reason why.. :-)

True Diwali Celebrations

Diwali Celebrations were the same as last year. However, the next day brought me more joy than any of the earlier years.

I went to Lonavala with some friends to Antar Bharti Balgram, an orphanage.

We spent some quality time with the kids there. We organised some one minute games, a dance competition and then showed them a movie - Lage Raho Munnabhai.

They enjoyed the games and the movie. The energy and the spirit that they displayed was amazing.

In our day to day lives, most of us might consider ourselves to be better off than them. But, I beg to differ.

The kids smile so beautifully - it makes you forget all your sorrows. It is a smile that comes from within. A smile that is contagious.

When they touch your hand, they make you feel strong. The feeling emulates to that of a new born baby grasping your finger in its small hands.

The whole experience was fabulous. I realised that they brought me more joy than I could have imagined. The way they smile, the way they hold your hand, the way they talk, the way they trasmit their energy and vibration to everyone around them - it was remarkable.

Looking forward to more such trips.

Cheers!

Time Saving Devices!

"One of my favorite examples of our silly Western contradictions is where he talks about time-saving devices. In Western culture, we are constantly surrounded with time-saving devices, from alarm clocks to microwaves to computers to cell phones... yet we rarely have enough time. Then what happens when you go to a place where there are no time-saving devices? All of a sudden you have all the time in the world!"

Khud Ko..

khud ko kiya buland itna,
ki khuda ne poocha,
bol teri raza kya hai..

par buland hone ki had paar ki,
jab hamne poocha..
khuda aapki raza kya hai..

Black!

Hi,

I went to the Victoria Memorial Blind School today. The initiative is taken up by the Corporate Maitree Team, and after hearing about it for long, I got to be a part of it.

I made new friends in Sachin, Sachin, Aftab and Rohit apart from the TCSers.

These guys are quick and keen. They have a smile which is infectious, and an attitude which is enviable. Often we feel handicapped by circumstances when we ask God, 'Why me?'

These guys can choose to ask this question apart from other similar questions day in and day out, yet they dont. They embrace life without any complains, and they bring joy to beings like me!

It was a pleasure to teach them, spend time with them and just hear them. I can yet picture Aftab's smile and his beautiful voice. He is gifted with such a wonderful voice. I can yet hear "Subhan Allah" in my ears!

I wish God blesses my new friends!

Cheers!

Of People & Places

Hi,

This comes after a long time. I wanted to blog on topics such as my Vaishnodevi trip, the Mumbai blasts and the happenings at office, but with time gone by, I choose to write about another topic - People.

There are some people in the world who have this amazing enthusiasm within them. A spirit which cannot be matched. I have come across many such people right from the school days.

Rather than the ones in school, I will start will start with the ones I met in DJ. First of them being Mrunal. She was one person who enjoyed life, and was always surrounded by a positive vibe. I always envied her enthusiasm and that giggle. It was amazing. The same energy was visible in Sheili too, with a even higher level of positivity. The way she let everything so seem easy with her carefree attitude. The energy was always contagious. It would spread to the other person easily.

There was Sagar too - the Pagal Guy! He too brought smiles but along with those frustrating looks of others! :-)

Sarika is the perfect example of such a person in office. The endless amount of energy in her never stops to amaze me. After reading a blog on Lost Souls, I realize that these people successfully keep their souls alive, irrespective of whats happening in this world. They can bring a smile to any face at any given point of time. Something that I have always wanted to do.

Yes, everything is possible in this world, and if I want to, I can duplicate such an attitude too. But, time moulds us into a person, and this person is always difficult to change. I have always been a firm optimist, and have looked life in the eye. I love the challenges and whatever life brings, but at times, when I see others in pain, I want to do something to help the person. If I cant, I hate the helpless feeling and just want to be the person who can bring a smile to others.

Apart from these people, there was Ali in school and Gaganbabu in ILP. But, along with the energy came other attributes in their personality. Ali was the nightmare of all the teachers, and if Mrs. Neelam had her way, she would have 'shot him with a double barrel gun'!. :-)

Yet, the way that fellow imitated the teachers, played pranks etc., was awesome.

The grass is always greener on the other side, but I truly hope God lets the enthusiasm of these people successfully sail through the storms that life brings.

Cheers!

When they're gone

Winter makes us long for Spring

Darkness for the dawn..

We always seem to miss them most,

Our friends when they’re gone!

What Is Life?

is it about pleasure or about pain?
is it about losses or the gains?
is it about sunshine or the rain?

it is about both
the pleasure and the pain
coz without pain
we dont understand
the importance of pleasure

it is about both
the losses and the gain
coz without the losses
we dont learn
how to value our gains

it is about both
the sunshine and the rain
coz without sunshine
we would not have
the rainbow after the rain!

 

My Infatuation

After slight hesitation
Out of my temptation
In written communication
I expressed my infatuation

It was like an examination
Where I had to convey some information
With utter determination
Not to face any rejection

So with intense preparation
I told her she is my inspiration
And without any speculation
Has my undivided attention

But she failed to understand my addiction
And told me I had competition
So I better take precaution
To save an early cremation
This one is mine :-)

Cheers!

Inspired from "Wear Sunscreen"

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.
But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.

Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind.
The kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts.
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Don't waste your time on jealousy.
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind.
The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults.
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters.
Throw away your old bank statements.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives.
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either.
Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can.
Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths:
Prices will rise. Politicians will philander.
You, too, will get old.
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse.
But you never know when either one might run out.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

Leisure

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

-William Henry Davies

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head!

Raindrops keep falling on my head... And just like the guy whose feet
are too big for his bed, nothing seems to fit. Those raindrops are
falling on my head, they keep falling.

So I just did me some talking to the sun. And I said I didn't like the
way, he got things done... sleeping on the job... those raindrops are
falling on my head, they keep falling.

But there's one thing I know: The blues they send to meet me won't
defeat me. It won't be long till happiness sleps up to greet me.

Raindrops keep falling on my head but that doesn't mean my eyes will
soon be turning red. Crying's not for me cause I'm never gonna stop
the rain by complaining. Because I'm free. Nothing's worrying
me.

A Weekend Full of Movies!!!

Hi,

I am listening to All Out of Love - Air Supply right now. It happens to be one of my favourite songs. I could perhaps describe all my moods and emotions via some song or the other.

Anyways, saw 4 movies over the weekend - all on TV. First Akele Hum Akele Tum, then my all time favourite Gladiator, and then a movie which was pending for long - Yuva. These were one after the other on Saturday, and saw DTPH today.

Apart from Yuva, I had seen the others before. Nihar had once told me that Yuva is worth a watch, though my parents said they did not like the movie much. I loved the movie.

The character of Ajay Devgan, and the concept of the young generation challenging the old junk people who have wrecked our country was great. I second the thoughts of Ajay's character that that soon this generation will have to enter the dark world of politics to lead the country to prosperity. We cannot let money minded politicians suck the wealth and goodwill of our country for long.

The filmy love story that was spun around Vivek-Kareena was good too. So was the acting of Abhishek-Rani. However, the Ajay factor should inspire the youth to pull up their socks and challenge the government. Fasting for days, and having these protests can maybe counter the reservations issue, but what about the other issues!!!

May God Bless us all,
Cheers!

A Sour Weekend

Hi,

The last weekend was one to remember, despite of working on saturday. This one was rather boring and long. Though dint feel like coming to office on a Manic Monday morning.

The talking point of the weekend for me was the way Michael Schumacher cheated in the Monaco Grand Prix. I wonder how desperate some people can get for success! They lose the battle with their ethics in that split second.

Socrates was once asked how to be successful. He took the person who questioned him by the river. Socrates held the person's head and pushed it under water. Took him out and pushed him again and again. After a couple of minutes, he asked the person what was it that he wanted when he was under water? The person replied "Air". Socrates smiled and said that to be successful, he should want success that badly.

However, I wonder if it is right to be so desperate for anything in life. For one, I believe absolutely nothing is worth such desperation. I believe the less we ask for in life, the happier we are. The lesser the expectations are from others, the more satisfied we are!

I dont say that one should not have ambitions or aspirations. Ofcourse one should. Else, there is no point of living. But to look no further beyond it or to see it as the end of your life if you dont achieve it is wrong. Rather, not worth it!

Read a beautiful line from J. W. Mariott in the morning. It said:
Good timber does not grow with ease. The stronger the wind, the stronger are the trees!

Cheers!

Why am I human?

Why am I a human?
Why can I breathe?

Why cant I be the cloud?
That keeps moving, from one place to another,
floating over the world

Why cant I be the sea?
Playing with the shores and the sand,
Creating waves which in an instant die

Why cant I be the fire?
That keeps burning and burns out,
That gives the warmth in the cold winter nights

Why cant I be the Star?
That shines each night,
Knowing the dawn will kill it

Why cant I be the sun?
Strong and full of light,
Giving light and energy to the world

Why cant I be the pigeon on the roof?
Whose only work is to fly,
And gather grains to eat and feed its little ones

Why cant I be a plant?
That gives rise to flowers,
That glorifies the nature

Why cant I be the rain?
That brings joy at the end of summer
That makes little children play in puddles

Why do I have to be a human?
Why do I have to think?
Why do I have more life than the birds and plants?
Why do I have more power than the Sun and Stars?

A week, weekend to remember

Hi,

Past two weeks had been really hectic at office. First the earlier project implementation took a toll at my patience. Later the current project brought forth its challenges and pressures as well. It was a little stressful, but part and parcel of the game and the learning process which I am here for.

The work front at TCS is not too impressive. Apart from a few people who stand out, the chunk of people have that laid back attitude. I cant see the organization stand out from the rest. I cant see sparks of excellence and brilliance here. A lot can be blamed on management, but very few get to work under good leaders. I have been lucky on that front though. :-)

I have also been pondering a lot over the usual aspects of life again. How every thing can be anticipated. How everything can be premeditated. It does not take a great psychologist to predict the result in most circumstances. However, we do not think and dont see the future which is eminent and later crib!

This brings me to one of the deepest lines I have come across - "Perception is reality"

Many might question this, and many might disagree. But, I believe it. This itself proves the line.

The reason being that everything depends on how you take the situation. On how 'you' decipher the things which cannot be seen straight from the eyes.

I have a beautiful example, which might sound bad, but then again, Perception is reality!

Picture this, you are being kissed by someone you love. You feel great.
Now picture being kissed by your pet, say your dog whom you love. Do you feel that great?

The wet tissues are present in both the situations. The fact that it is a loved one is present in both situations as well. But, does the perception not change? Does it not depend on how we take it?

Then why do we not implement the same intelligently? Why do we speculate the people we love? Why do we speculate the one we trust?

This is all too deep, and depends a lot on the shoulder that bears the head. Let me move on to a different topic..

Life has blessed me indeed. I have realised that the uncertainities of life have brought me a lot of joy. Whenever I left to God to make my decision, I was blessed big time.

Its like when I ask God for something - I might get it. But when I dont ask, I get more than I could have asked.

The luck that I had during my trip to north last october, the way i met Aishwarya Rai on my birthday at Siddhivinayak, the way I got into my junior college, degree college, the way I applied for TCS, the way I got to go to Hyderabad, and the way I joined my ILP at Pune. These are small incidents, but I felt a hand that blessed me. Thats why at times I dont like to plan about life! God makes the best plans for me!

I think I would like to reach a stage when I can say, give me anything, I can face it! You are with me! If you bring me to it, I know you will bring me through it!

I met an amazing person on orkut - again unplanned. I hope to carry the friendship for long.

May god bless us all.

Cheers!!

What I am!!!

I'm an angel, I'm a devil

I am sometimes in between

I'm as bad it can get

And good as it can be

Sometimes I'm a million colors

Sometimes I'm black and white

I am all extremes

Try figure me out you never can

There's so many things I am
I am special

I am wonderful

And powerful

Unstoppable

Sometimes I'm miserable

Sometimes I'm pitiful

But that's so typical of all the things I am

I'm someone filled with self-belief

And haunted by self-doubt

I've got all the answers
I've got nothing figured out

I like to be by myself

I hate to be alone

I'm up and I am down

But that's the thrill part of the plan

Part of all of the things I am

I'm a million contradictions

Sometimes I make no sense
Sometimes I'm perfect

Sometimes I'm a mess

Sometimes I'm not sure who I am

If you tell me that I can't I will, I will, I'll try all night

And if I say I'm coming home

I'll probably be out all night

I'm not perfect, but please don't think that I won't try

I'm not perfect, but does that mean that I can't live my life?

I'm not perfect, but please don't think that I can't cry

I'm not perfect, but does that mean that I won't fly?

I'm not perfect yet but I am getting there..

Mumbai Humidity is KILLING!!!

Hi,

The temperatures have not soured too high, but the humidity makes it irritating. I am awaiting the monsoons real soon!

The training yesterday was very boring. Caught up on some afternoon TV at a friend's place during the lunch hour. I also got to see a video of Shiv Khera, with his inspirational talks.

A few lines which he mentioned:
Sow a thought and you reap an action,
Sow an action and you reap a habit,
Sow a habit and you reap a character,
Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

It seemed one of those well said lines which make little sense. But, his explanation to it was good.

Ofcourse, I cant explain it as well as him, but our thoughts can decide our destiny - and it is true.

But, after the optimistic talks, I was struggling to keep my optimism high. I had a little headache and that should have been a sign that the day will be challenging. I left from office early for a change. I called for idli for din din and then was online chatting all the time until i went to sleep.

Today, it has been a lazy day. I got my passport after a long wait. After that, I have been just sitting on the computer reading mails and chatting! I thought of writing other things, but I will keep that for later now that am in a better mood.

Cheers!

An Interesting Training

Hi,

Yesterday was a long boring day. A lot of time was spent on reading the PJ's in the orkut community and sending it to people. In regards to work, another couple of meetings, and some deliverables, all of which is getting mundane by the day!

Today, I had a training which turned out to be pretty good for me. It was boring, but worth it as at the end of it I won 50 bucks :-)

Guys who came late were fined, and the money collected sponsored us for a chocolate treat. The remaining money was split up for guys who would answer questions, and I happened to get lucky then!

Beyond the training, back to mundane work!!! Though its not bad, but looking forward to something more challenging. Hope my PL does not read this, or rather I hope he does!!

I am planning for a trip to Vaishnudevi in Mid-June - hope that turns out well!!

These days I am hitting to those string of questions again - what next, MBA or no MBA, starting something of my own, realizing some of the crazy ideas that I have, the one strong aim of my life - these too will pass with time for sure, as it is one of those phases again!

Pramod Mahajan passed away yesterday. Not too good a news as he was one of the decent guys among the corrupt!

Cheers!

The Week Starts..

Hi,

The week started casually. I completed the work carried off from last week and updated the cases in the usual pattern. The work is becoming too routine and the excitment and thrill of the job is slowly vanishing. Ofcourse, the challenge and motivation remains, but I wonder till when.

A friend reminded me of the David Sasoon Library today. The long lazy days, where the only work was digging deep into the books. Nihar, Nishit and myself were regulars at the library, and spent over 10-11 hours each day. Yet, those days were fun, the pizzas at Mamma Mia, the Samosa Sandwich across the road, the tea at the Irani Hotel all made up for a plesant day. The Midday crossword was a routine break just before or after lunch. There used to be loads of cats in the garden and we fed them with the rotis we got. The best part is that none of us were a member, yet, the Watchman and the staff used to greet us.

Those days were such that there was no time to think about other things, but yet mind does wander at times. It did wander a lot more during the final year, for a number of reasons that were in my mind then.

My earlier project is finally going live next week. I hope things turn out well!!! Two projects at the same time can be diffult, but it keeps the challenge alive. Though it does not stop me from using orkut, and sending mails to friends. :-)

I need some music!!!

Cheers!

Labour's Day

Hi,

Labour's Day at the start of the week might have brought joy to many people who had some interesting plans for the extended weekend, however, for workaholics like me, who dint bother making a plan, it was a rather boring day.

I read most of the book 'To Kill A Mocking Bird - Harper Lee' today. It is a decent book. It written from a 9 year old's point of view. There is a statement in the book, which says that children should be a part of the Jury, as they would make better judgements (excuse me for the absence of the exact words).

I firmly believe this to be true. Infact in my response to a topic on orkut, the perfect age of dying, was 5. This might be a really small age for some, but its the most beautiful and innocent times of our lives. The purity that we have at that age is difficult to find in people thereafter.

Tomorrow there is bound to be loads of work in office. I better start getting a decent routine to keep myself fit!

Cheers!

Into the world of blogging

Hi,

After a long week when the weekend comes, it feels relaxing. But, the challenge is to make it charge you for a week ahead.

After watching Chelsea win the championship against Manchester United, my weekend has surely charged me up for the coming week. Considering Monday is a holiday, the week should be rather sweet and short.

I played cricket in the morning. It was with building friends and my team won 2 matches out of three. Took a couple of catches, and one of them stuck hard in my hand. The red hand continues to remind me of the catch. But the physical activity was better than the Saturday which was dedicated only to the computer and the television!

I went for a walk in the evening, and it was great - A walk for me is more refreshing because I also sing at those times, and being one of the unfortunate ones who cant sing too well, its the perfect time to sing in front of the setting sun, chirping birds, and more importantly an empty terrace! Songs include But it Rained, Someday, Hazard, Right here waiting, Zindagi ek safar hai suhana, Tadap Tadap ke, apart from others.


"Can somebody hear me I am screaming from so far away,
Morning who will calm you now, the evening's eclipsed away"

Cheers!
