Focussed Approach

When you do something forget other things for the time being. Try to get as involved as possible. Only then you will be able to enjoy the task at hand and get the maximum output in the least effort and make life more worth living and enjoyable. This is what they say living in the moment.

Give and Take

Well it has been quite some time since I wrote something . Work pressure and recent changes in my life style didn't give me much of a breathing space to sit back and write somehing . So today when the forced shutdown in office and the rainy weather outside made by brain more fertile , I thought let me write something .
As I was thinking what to write about , I bumped into my friend Prasanna Srinivisan ,who sits in adjacent cube and the discussion that followed turned into something very interesting ,a bit philosophical and needless to say worth sharing :)))

Well now on a little serious note . we were discussing human relationships and how important they are to our daily lives . The relationships like everything else need to be nurtured and it too follows the principle of Give and Take which should not be confused with "You give and I take" :) . It has to be symbiotic in nature . As we were looking at the rain pouring outside , we thought how the nature itself implements it . If the clouds just keep on taking water without giving it back ...we would be looking at drought everywhere . If the water never gives itself as vapors , we would still be possibly looking at droughts , apart from missing out on getting pure water !!!!!! In human relations too, be it of any type ... we need to follow this principle of give and take to keep it alive ,pure and going .....

Sometimes in life ,we need to undergo some tragedy to realise its importance ... so my humble suggestion is to make sure you donot neglect it ,after all its a part of your dream of living a complete life :)

A passing thought

As I sat on the early morning shoreline of Lake Michigan a sense of calm and composure started dawning on me .I was feeling that joy ,one doesn't feel often in this fast paced life .I was enjoying doing nothing and feeling the cool breeze and watching lazily the mist emanating from the water . The setting was there ,the time was there and a very beautiful song started playing on my IPOD and the next moment I found myself humming the tune of Gulzar's super hit song "Tujhe Naraz Nahi Jindagi ,Hairan Hoon Main...Tere Masoom Sawalon Se Pareshan Hoon Main !!"
I started thinking the context of the song and how it applies to our life .I asked myself do we really need to be angry or perplexed with our life? Are we the chosen ones to face all the trauma that world has to offer ? Are we all alone left with no support in this so called cruel world ?
Sometimes we feel totally isolated and excluded from the world .We look around for solace but find nothing but a vacuum and perpetual darkness in return .

And then suddenly from somewhere there's a flash and in that momentary brightness we come face to face with the truth that ,External factors provide temporary solace .We need to go back to the roots .We have to look inside . We need to love and respect ourself .At every level and every strata there is a problem of varying complexities .We have the free will to choose and no one can deny that to us .We need to be the source of light rather than a gloomy blackhole .And then we can sing "Ae Jindagi Gale lagale....Humne bhi tere har ek gham ko gale se lagaya hain ...hain na ? "

Hmm ...I Guess its time for me to go back to my camp(tent) again ...otherwise Jindagi ka to pata nahi ...my friends will definitely be angry with me for being so late from the morning trail :D

Tuesdays with Morrie

My Favorite Quote from that novel :
"In the beginning of life, when we were infants, we need others to survive, right? And at the end of life, when you get like me, you need others to survive, right? But here's the secret: in between, we need others as well."

Fifteen Minutes Of Fame....

Theme :In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes,Andy Warhol(American Filmmaker )
Life is not a bed of roses ...
The Road to success is full of thorns ..
You circumstances may be uncongenial...
But then...everyone has been forlorn...

Thing have to change and they will change for the better...
Just learn to keep your faith and dreams..."Together"

Some succeed and some fail ..
this life is such a game...
But believe me that everyone has got his "15 Minutes Of Fame"

The Summer is BACK

Authors note : The summer here signifies not only the change in the weather but also change in the way we see the world .Summer means life in all its colors ....a life of action and optimism. Summer means opening the doors to the world again and taking all its beauty in !

The Sun is shining again ...
The clouds of doom have dispersed ...
The winds of hope are blowing again ...
The painful past is finally flowing down the drain ....


Once again I see hope ...
Once again I smile ...
But in this moment of exhilaration ...
I should remember ...
that everything comes for a while !

Life is a great leveler ...
It has lot to teach ..
I may not have everything for everyone ...
But it does have something for each .

The Puzzle That Is Called Life !

Life is a mystery Its a hard puzzle to solve ....
But it becomes more clear ,as you as a person evolve....
I have lost many chances ....I have made my share of mistakes
But I have to continue my efforts ...as Life itself is at stake !!!

You dream about a lot of things and ultimately they flow away ...just like water in a stream ..............
You build your castles and add to it colors of love and care !
You dare to say Life Is Beautiful !
and then it throws the question at you "How did you dare to dare ????"

There are times when you lose all hope...
And you tie your emotions to a loose rope ...
You humbly accept that you are not the chosen one ...
and suddenly it throws bounties on you in tones and dozens!!!

You make mistakes and you learn ...
You try to implement those learnings for the success you yearn ...
You travel the Road less traveled to learn more and more
You slowly grow into a walking giant from being a sophomore !

All those experiences of life , When you involve
You come as close as possible to the puzzle you always dreamed to solve !!!!
