Just another day...

2012-01-02T22:14:00.000+05:30

I wonder why so much celebrations on a particular day, New Year celebrations... and so on. It's just another day in life, but all days are special.

We wouldn't realize the fact, each day is special in our life, rather every day is just another day... its just a count in our life...

I see some people, celebrate only on particular day, but not all the days... life is like a sky... someone celebrate when see the rainbow, someone celebrate when see the sun raise, some one at sun set, BUT it all happens in this beautiful universe / galaxy (whatever...), just see through it, you will celebrate all the times... or you will feel everyday is 'just another day'

5th Year :)

2011-10-26T16:19:00.001+05:30

Its been a quite interesting to write blog whenever get time to spare, happy to enter 5th year of writing blogs and the celebration with DIWALI festival

You are my perfect mirror...

2011-10-03T15:47:00.000+05:30

A beautiful song which really means a lot to me...

This song is available on the most of the English DVDs ofSadhguru Jaggi Vasudev's speech.

You are my perfect mirror,

You show me what I'm not,

In the endless pit of what once was me.

Layer and layer you peel of me,

the pain it is, but the joy it brings.

So, Thank you for showing me what I'm not,

For showing me what I could be. Thank you Endlessly.

If I could only just be, You could show me all the thingsthat I would be willing enough to see

Should I go...?

2011-06-21T11:22:00.000+05:30

Should I go somewhere to get peace of mind? should I go somewhere to realize something? should I go...?

Most of us think about this, if we are frustrated, if we are in the sad moment or if we need some enjoyment, we think to travel somewhere to get something... may be a pleasant place which has some greenery stuff or sea shore or some mountain and so on ...

But what really happens when we travel to such places, how do we feel something good when we are there...

Its not the matter of places, but the flow of mind, since wherever we go, our body is same, our mind is same, but the environment is new may be different as of now.

If we stay for a while in the same place, do we feel the same excitement when we were in the first time? obviously no, WHY? the environment is same, but why we don't feel the same kind of excitement, because its not new to our mind, we have been for a while in that place, since mind needs to jump into new things always, it won't feel better when we are in the same places again and again.

As long as, we apart from the body and mind, we can't realize the real excitement ever. Wherever we go, we carry our body as well as the mind, so, it won't give the permanent joy, but get free from body and mind. 'Mano naasam' - 'destroying the mind' will be the solution for all the problem, but its not that easy to destroy like papers, for that, of course, we have to travel to realize something somewhere some energy places...

so... Should I go...?

One more count to add :)

2011-04-08T17:24:00.000+05:30

One more count to add in my age today :)
It has been a great year, learned a lot and came from dark to light, feel a glorious life ahead. When a butterfly comes out of its shell, there are plenty to explore. The new world has more surprises...

Where to make an effort, makes all the difference

2011-03-31T19:47:00.000+05:30

A giant ship engine failed.

The ship's owners tried one expert after another but none of them could figure how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was young.

He carried a large bag of tools with him when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ships' owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do.

After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something.

Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away, the engine was FIXED.

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for 10,000 dollars.

"What?" the owners exclaimed. 'He hardly did anything!'

So they wrote a note to the old man saying, 'Please send us the itemized billing'.

The old man send a bill that read,

Tapping with hammer ..................................... $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap.................................... $ 9,998.00

Moral

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference.

You are the best judge

Once upon a time there was a painter who had just completed his course.

He took 3 days and painted beautiful scenery. He wanted people's opinion about his caliber and painting skills. He put his creation at a busy street-crossing. And just down below aboard which read -"I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes etc. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake."

While he came back in the evening to collect his painting he was completely shattered to see that whole canvass was filled with Xs(crosses) and some people had even written their comments on the painting. Disheartened and broken completely he ran to his master's place and burst into tears. This young artist was breathing heavily and master heard him saying "I'm useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint I'm not worth becoming a painter. People have rejected me completely. I feel like dying"

Master smiled and suggested "My Son, I will prove that you are a great artist and have learnt a flawless painting. Do as I say without questioning it. It WILL work." Young artist reluctantly agreed and two days later early morning he presented a replica of his earlier painting to his master. Master took that gracefully and smiled.

"Come with me. " master said.

They reached the same street-square early morning and displayed the same painting exactly at the same place. Now master took out another board which read -"Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokesetc. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do a favor. If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it." Master and disciple walked back home.

They both visited the place same evening. Young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done so far. Next day again they visited and found painting remained untouched. They say the painting was kept there for a month for no correction came in!

Moral of the story:

It is easier to criticize, but DIFFICULT TO IMPROVE!
So don't get carried away or judge yourself by someone else's criticism and feel depressed...
JUDGE YOURSELF!!
YOU ARE YOUR BEST JUDGE!!!

Indian Sign Language Course

2011-02-06T22:40:00.000+05:30

Indian Sign Language(ISL) Course has been offered to the British Council Members and staffs by ABILITY FOUNDATION and British Council - Chennai. It has been a great opportunity for each and everyone who participated in this course. Each and every moment was so enjoyable. It is not just a language which use to communicate, it is a gateway to the new world which we probably never knew. It kindled a new flavour in our life, it helps to break the barrier between different people.

Our teachers, Shreyansh and Feroz Khan from Deaf EnAbled Foundation through Ability Foundation, though they are deaf, very capable persons to teach anyone. Beginners like us, we are in the position of understand and communicate the basic conversation in sign language within two weeks.

Though the classes was in weekdays, everyone was tried their best to attend the class, I took a little break from office work and attended the classes and went back to office. Its not just because of punctuality that we had to follow, but the curiosity which made us to sit back all classes and participate with positive thoughts.

I take this opportunity to thank Shreyansh and Feroz for their great effort. We wish them to teach ISL throughout INDIA and break the barriers. Also, thanks to British Council - Chennai and Ability Foundation for this great opportunity for offered this course, and we wish them to achieve more. Thanks to each and every participants for their involvement to make this course successful!

The reason being... I AM THAT

2010-12-04T18:55:00.000+05:30

I'm here, in this dreaming (MAYA) world with the karma to fulfill, I have been using a physical body, a mixture of five elements. I'm here to vanish my karma, but the maya environments are creating more.

All I need is a long journey to realize the oneness. There should be a way to travel, there should be a vehicle to travel. A tool which can make me exist in this dream, nothing but the body.

When I started to travel, I started to believe that I'm the body, where the dream started to seems like an original.

All the energy of life span moves towards the body, all the karma suppose to be vanish to realize, but new karma have been adding to the list, which is the burden for the journey. Still, something from the inner core insisting me 'I AM THAT', I am the oneness, Aham brahmasmi...

Whenever a small awareness happens towards the inner core, I started to realize the path... still, I know only the path but I'm not walking in it. Knowing the path is different than walking in it. Sometimes karma stops me to walk in it, but it can't hold for a long time, the reason being... I AM THAT.

We miss you :(

2010-11-19T17:19:00.000+05:30

Dear Prathap and Priya,

Though the days passes like anything, you still in our heart. We really miss you, may you be in peace.

Remembering those days .... Our deep Condolence

Inception - movie review

2010-08-14T21:00:00.000+05:30

Inception - the movie, made me to think back again about my dreams. I always do think, what we are seeing is real or not; I wrote similar thought about my dream 'I was walking...'

Now, let me come to the movie review. It is pictured in a great way that anyone can understand the concept of the movie in the first watch itself. And the four level of dreams inside dreams makes cool when the sequence made us to sit tightly to watch. The fight scenes in hotel, happens like without gravity and the reality got lose its own value. All dream sequences makes movie much feaster and fantastic !

Its really 'must watch' ***** category movie... and I plan to watch it again with my friends!

Inception - movie with the thought to play with dreams, the truth is we are not aware of that, this life itself is a DREAM!!!

Wouldn't it be scary ?

2010-08-02T18:19:00.000+05:30

Scary Safari

Wouldn't it be scary, if a lion jumped on the bonnet of your car, just several centimeters away of you?
These folks don't seem frightened.

This is the Werribee Open Range Zoo in Victoria, Australia and only the bonnet of the car is inside the glass cage with lions.

What is the law of wild?

2010-07-28T18:47:00.000+05:30

The law of the wild says kill only when you are hungry!!!

Photographer Michel Denis-Huot, who captured these amazing pictures on safari in Kenya 's Masai Mara in October last year, said he was astounded by what he saw:

"These three brothers (cheetahs) have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old,' he said. 'On the morning we saw them, they seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping sometimes to play together. 'At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily'".

what nature teach us???? are we really learn something from nature???? certainly not...

'The Karate Kid' - the movie

2010-06-12T17:30:00.000+05:30

The Karate Kid

As a hardcore Jackie fan, I did watch this movie as soon as possible, though can't expect much fighting scenes from Jackie, there was one - his favorite fighting sequence (one with multiple persons).

My favorite dialogue: 'If you want to stop it, you have to face it'

There was a great applause in theater when Jakie say 'I will teach you the real Kung-fu'

Nice movie to watch :)

How to train your dragon - nice movie

Excellence...

2010-05-26T16:19:00.000+05:30

A man once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby.
Surprised, he asked the sculptor, "Do you need two statues of the same idol?"

"No", said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage."

The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. "Where is the damage?" he asked.

"There is a scratch on the nose of the idol" said the sculptor, still busy with his work.

"Where are you going to install the idol?"

The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high.

"If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?" the gentleman asked.

The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, "I will know it."

-- The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. "Excellence" is a drive from inside, not outside. Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and efficiency.

One more stepping stone

2010-04-08T13:48:00.001+05:30

Today I'm stepping in one more stone in my life; first quarter of this 2010 was an eye opener, it thought a great lesson in my life, it was a big blocking stone in my path, but I learned how to make it as my stepping stone for my future.

There are lot of hope in life for happiness, lets have faith and hope :)

Half-century - 50th post

2010-04-01T17:42:00.001+05:30

Yes, its my 50th post in this blog, still lot to go, there are lot of thoughts to share and lot of things to explore but still something holds me, and its not letting me to write everything i thought to share, don't know what to call.

Lot of things to explore, what we see in every moment is a different thing and mind thinking in different way, lot of thoughts running here and there, lot of situations happening every moment.

Don't know, whether we can share everything what we think, it might or might not be impact others in a different way. But still lot to express, lot to share :)

Anbe sivam - அன்பே சிவம் - lyrics

2010-03-30T16:43:00.000+05:30

I love this great song, even if you don't know Tamil language, just listen the video, you can understand certainly

படம்: அன்பே சிவம்
-----------------------------

யார் யார் சிவம், நீ நான் சிவம்
வாழ்வே தவம் அன்பே சிவம்

ஆத்திகம் பேசும் அடியார்கெல்லாம் சிவமே அன்பாகும்
நாத்திகம் பேசும் நல்லவருக்கோ அன்பே சிவமாகும்

அன்பே சிவம் அன்பே சிவம் என்றும்
அன்பே சிவம் அன்பே சிவம் எங்கும்
அன்பே சிவம் அன்பே சிவம் என்றும்
அன்பே சிவம் அன்பே சிவம் எங்கும்

இதயம் என்பது சதைதான் என்றால் எரிதழல் நின்றுவிடும்
அன்பின் கருவி இதயம் என்றால் சாவை வென்றுவிடும்

யார் யார் சிவம், நீ நான் சிவம்

அன்பின் பார்வை சேர்ந்தவருக்கு முடிவே இல்லயடா
மனதின் நீளம் எதுவோ அதுவே வாழ்வின் நீளமடா

யார் யார் சிவம், நீ நான் சிவம்

Some times, some people

2010-03-24T18:28:00.000+05:30

It was a Sunday, an uncommon place, few people were sitting with closed eyes and some people reading news papers, among them one famous author was sitting with closed eyes, it was like a killer silence.

A man came with his two kids, he were sitting next to the author, closed his eyes and started to think deeply. Kids should not exceed more than six years old, they were started to play, in a little while, they were started to friendly fight, throwing one to another with whatever they found, and killer silence was killed by kids. Their father did not mind anything and he keep his eyes closed.

People next to him was started to feeling irritate, but that man still keep his eyes closed. That author is famous for writing self respect, patience, calmness; but in this stage he lost his calmness. He told to that man, 'your kids disturbing others, can you ask them to keep silent'.

He opened his eyes slowly, and said…"yes, have to do something, their mother died an hour ago, we came here because we cannot wait in the hospital to get her body since it will take a while… have to think what is next… SORRY…"

Authors angry were vanished like morning show vanishes in raising sun, he conveyed his condolence, and asked him whether he can help him in any way.

Kids did not stop playing, silence did not come back; but authors angry changed when he comes to know the situation.

There are lot of deep meanings for the situation. Some situation we can accept some may not. But when we come to know the reason, we can certainly.

We are not a machine to act same at every time. There is no surprise to see people act differently in different situations; in those situations, instead of getting angry better try to understand the reason, which will makes the situation better.

English Translation

-------------------

To the One whose lotus feet are served king of the Devas,
That merciful One who bears the moon on His forehead,
Who wears a serpent as His sacred thread and is clad in the directions,
And who is worshipped by Narada and other yogis,
I salute to Kalabhairava, the Lord of city of Kashi.


To the One whose luster is like a million suns,
That supreme Being who delivers us across the ocean of existence,
The blue-throated, three-eyed One who grants all wishes,
He of lotus-eyes and grave trident, who is the death of time itself,
I salute to Kalabhairava, the Lord of city of Kashi.


To the bearer of the spear, sword, noose and club,
That primeval Cause, the black-bodied, imperishable prime Lord,
The One free from all afflictions, the formidable Hero,
To the Lord who loves the wonderful Tandava dance,
I salute to Kalabhairava, the Lord of city of Kashi.


To the Bestower of enjoyment and liberation,
He who is praised for His pleasant form and love His devotees,
That Lord of the entire world, who assumes myriad forms,
And wears a waist band attached with golden bells,
I salute to Kalabhairava, the Lord of city of Kashi.


To the Maintainer of the bridge of Dharma and the Destroyer of adharmic paths,
That Lord who saves us from the binds of karma and brings shame of misdeeds,
He whose body apprers adorned because of the golden nooses He carries,
I salute to Kalabhairava, the Lord of city of Kashi.


To His who wears sandals studded with gems,
That eternal One without a second, the Lord of our hearts,
The stainless One, who destroys the fear of death,
He of large teeth and fearful form, the Granter of liberation,
I salute to Kalabhairava, the Lord of city of Kashi.


To Him whose loud laughter can teat asunder all born of the egg of Brahma,
That fierce Ruler whose very sight is enough to destroy the web of sins,
To the Granter of the eight siddhis, the One who wears a garland of skulls,
I salute to Kalabhairava, the Lord of city of Kashi.


To the Commander of the hosts of spirits and the Bestower of great glory,
That Lord, the Resident of Kashi, the Purifier of the world's goods and evils,
He who intimately knows the path of righteousness, The most acnient One, the Lord of the universe,
I salute to Kalabhairava, the Lord of city of Kashi.


Those who read this enticing octet on Kalabhairava,
Whish is the source of eternal knowledge, 
Which increases the effect of righteous deeds,
Which destroys grief, passion, poverty, want and anger,
Would surely reach the holy presence of Kalabhairava,
I salute to Kalabhairava, the Lord of city of Kashi.

      மிதிவண்டியில் வேகமாய் சென்றோம், அது சாகசம் புரிய துடிக்கும் வயது, ஓடும் பேருந்தில் ஏறி இறங்க பயமில்லை, மரங்களில் தொங்க அஞ்சியதில்லை, சாலையில் விளையாட ஆர்வம் அதிகமே! நாங்கள் வாங்கிய வீரத் தழும்புக்கு அளவில்லை, இப்படி எங்கள் உள்ளம் வானில் பறக்கும் பட்டம் போல எங்கும் பறந்து செல்லும்.

      வேகமாய் சென்றோம் விளையாட, ஆர்வக்கோளாறு என் நண்பனுக்கு மீண்டும் ஒரு வீரத் தழும்பு வாங்கிக்கொள்ள, யார் தன்னை அழைத்தது என்று தெரிந்துகொள்ள குருதி வேகமாய் அவன் உடலில் இருந்து வெளிவந்தது, நாங்கள் அவசர உதவியை படிக்கவில்லை ஆனால் எங்களுக்கு பழக்கமுண்டு, வேகமாய் செயல்பட்டோம், எனக்கு ஆர்வகோளாறு சற்று அதிகமே, எங்கு சென்றாலும் அமைதியாய் இருக்கமாட்டேன், வேகமாய் திரிந்துகொண்டிருந்த நேரத்தில் கண்ணில் தென்பட்டது 100 ரூபாய் நோட்டு.

      சாகசம் புரியும் வயதாக இருந்தாலும் சற்று சிந்திக்கவும் நேரம் இருந்தது, விளையாட்டுத் தனமாக பணத்தை செலவிட மனம் வரவில்லை, வீட்டில் உணவில்லை என்பதை நினைக்க வீட்டிற்கு விரைந்தேன், அன்னையின் அன்பான முகம் என்னை வரவேற்றது, 100 ரூபாய் நோட்டு என் வாழ்வில் சற்று மறக்க முடியாத ஒன்றுதான்.

Alexander - "Bury my body..."

2010-01-17T13:30:00.000+05:30

The great Greek king, Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms,
was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and he was bedridden
for months. With death drawing close, Alexander realized how his
conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth
were of no use.

He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon.
But I have three wishes. Please fulfill my wishes without fail."
With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to
abide by their king's last wishes.

"My first desire is that," said Alexander, "my physicians alone must carry my coffin." "Secondly, when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard should be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury. My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept dangling out of my coffin." The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dared to question. Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. "O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"

At this Alexander took a deep breath and said, "I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learned. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure anybody. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted.

The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a fraction of gold can be taken by me. Let people realize that it is sheet waste of time to chase wealth.

And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I want people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world."

Alexander's last words: "Bury my body, do not build any monument, keep my hands outside so that the world knows that person who won the world had nothing in his hands when dying".

Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Antya 20.9

sańkīrtana-yajñe kalau kṛṣṇa-ārādhana
sei ta' sumedhā pāya kṛṣṇera caraṇa

"In this Age of Kali, the process of worshiping Kṛṣṇa is to perform sacrifice by chanting the holy name of the Lord. One who does so is certainly very intelligent, and he attains shelter at the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa."

இந்த கலி யுகத்தில், இறை நாமத்தை பாராயணம் செய்து கண்ணனை வணங்கலாம். எவர் இறை நாமத்தை உண்மையான பக்தி கொண்டு பாராயணம் செய்கிறாரோ, கண்ணனின் அழகிய தாமரை பாதங்களில் சேருவர்.

வெல்வதற்கே தோல்வி; எழுவதற்கே வீழ்ச்சி

2009-12-16T11:44:00.002+05:30

வாழ்க்கையில் தோல்வி, ஒரு முன்னேற்றத்தின் வெளிப்பாடு,
எதையும் தொடர்ந்து முயலும் வரை
பயணத்தில் வீழ்ச்சி, ஒரு எழுச்சியின் வெளிப்பாடு,
எழுந்து நடக்கும் வரை

முயன்றது வீழளாம் முயற்சிகள் அல்ல
பாதைகள் மாறலாம் பயணங்கள் அல்ல

சாதிக்க பிறந்தவர் நாம், சரித்திரம் படைத்திடுவோம்

Our deep condolence ... :'(

2009-11-23T17:57:00.002+05:30

Dear Prathap and Priya,

We never accept your losses, its really indigestible, we always pray God for your soul to be in peace

----
They were young
their life had just begun
All of a sudden it was taken away
We didn't even get to say the things we wanted to say
Only if God could see

Something so hard
goes straight to the soul;
it seems impossible to get over
and our heart is left with a big hole.

We are trying to be happy, wearing a smile;
but we dying inside.
The world seems to be fading,
and we just want to run and hide.

Everywhere we go we see your face,
and realize how much we miss you;
and on the day you died
a piece of ours died too.

----
our deep condolence... :'(

I forgot 2 LIVE !

2009-05-27T18:10:00.000+05:30

First I was dying to finish my high school and start college
And then I was dying to finish college and start working
Then I was dying to marry and have children
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough
so I could go back t work
But then I was dying to retire
And now I'm dying...
And suddenly I realized

I FORGOT TO LIVE

... old friend

To make money we lose our health,
and then to restore our health we lose our money...
We live as if we are never going to die,
and we die as if we never lived...

Be that, when you have to 'Be that'!

2009-04-10T22:21:00.002+05:30

something always running in my mind... am i doing the right thing? sometimes i think, what i do may be required to do so in that time... but i don't know whether its right or wrong... what is right? and what is wrong? who defines that... what have to do and when have to do so...

'Be that' what these words trying to mean... i think... have to be a warrior when have to be... should not be a coward in that time... have to be thief when have to be... should not be a honest person... but how do i know when i have to be what... its strange question, is not it?

life's top most secret 'be that', when we come to know what have to be when... we are the one...

Another year!

2009-04-08T12:21:00.002+05:30

Another year in my life, though it's a kind of coin with the happy and sad, love and hate, solution and problem... it's kind of enjoyment every moment. Even when I have a problem, something always makes me smile, its God's blessings.

With the smile on face, problems can be a solution ! Life is a mystery... enjoy every moment with the hope of love

Think OUT of Box!

2009-03-30T13:39:00.003+05:30

what is 'the box' means here? is it a 10” x 10” wood box which usually uses for store something?

No.

then what is 'the box'?... box is the boundary that usually we set for everything... means... for working, thinking, eating, sleeping, walking, running, blah blah blah... we are always do the same may be sometimes little change but that's also from coping something some where...

how to think out of box... SIMPLE... what you think which is not usual, abnormal for everyone its kind of 'out of box' it should not have to be a big thing rather a small but out of box!

'thinking out of box' is directly proportional to 'innovation'

You are the 'Star'

2009-03-21T13:35:00.001+05:30

Don't say you're not important,
It simply isn't true,
The fact that you were born,
Is proof, God has a plan for you.

The path may seem unclear right now,
But one day you will see,
That all that came before,
Was truly meant to be,
God wrote the book that is Life,
That's all you need to know.

Each day that you are living,
Was written long ago.

God only writes best sellers,
So be proud of who you are,
Your character is important,
In this book, you are the 'Star'.

It's called MINDSET

2009-03-17T13:40:00.002+05:30

One guy was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a rope tied to their legs. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well", trainer said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at the age, its enough to hold them, as they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. they believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." He was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were. Their powerful and gigantic creature has limited its present abilities by the limitations of its past.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life holding onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? how many of us refuse to attempt something new and challenging because of our so called MINDSET?

your attempt may fail, but never fail to make an attempt...

CHOOSE not to accept the false boundaries and limitations created by the past...

Perfect sunshine with drizzling :P

2009-03-10T18:55:00.001+05:30

Another day started as usual with the sound of alarm, tringggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!

My hand was searching for the alarm with the closed eyes...

Thought in my mind, do I really need to go to office? Haaa...

Though I have lot of migration work from FoxPro to Oracle tables (technically speaking!) mind do not want to start the day!

After few considerations... oh my God! I almost wasted 15 min...

After 2 hours, it was drizzling outside, thought to have rain coat while travelling to office!

Can not find that, its funny while getting wet on drizzling... I was enjoying the drive which took almost 1 hour... I can not drive more than 50 km/h speed since it was wet road everywhere...

People running here and there to escape from rain... LOL... come-on guys its nature's gift we have to enjoy that...

Though I like the rain as its nature's gift, I hate it sometimes, while travelling I used to get my shirt dirty cos of other fast drivers... today I got like new designed shirt... LOL...

Being lonely...

2008-10-03T18:18:00.002+05:30

When we talk about loneliness... most of us will scare, but there is a fact, we are always being alone. Every individual life is living alone, we can be live with our parents or with life partner or even with friends, but still we are living lonely... How it can be?

Whenever we take some decision or doing something, its an individual thing, though we are accept others decision still, our inner feelings will think about that before doing, that's called MIND, we are not here to talk about MIND, still, for everyone there is an inner thoughts about everything... we cant do anything before thinking about that, so, everyone is taking own decision, though we are forced to take decision by external factors, still our inner will think about that ... individually.

Every person living lonely always, every moment, life's beautiful lesson is being lonely...

Pain in Vein !

2008-10-01T19:15:00.003+05:30

No one can understand the beauty of life unless they meet someone who is very dear. Life's beauty is somehow similar to 'cat on the wall' either that has to fall into positive side or fall into negative side. When it ends with negative side, its teach us a great lesson which most of us can't understand and realize the life's beauty. But when it ends with positive side, most of us (even all of us) can enjoy the life's beauty, but very a few can sustain in the happy till the life's end.

When walking in sad mood, its like searching for a light from the dark place, when we find a small candle light, its seems like a big huge light which comes to save us from the dark side. But when we walk in good mood, its like being in the sun light, same candle light will seems to be very small and useless in that situation. Is there any difference in candle light? No, its in our view point of candle light.

Hey, where the blog post's title relate to these sentences, "PAIN IN VEIN" ? ha ha ha ... when life's dark time, we can see the candles only who really care for us, its the time to realize and find the real person, its a great lesson. If we find there is no candle for us when we are in dark even from the dearest one, its pain in vein.

அன்பே என் அன்பே (தாம் தூம் - பாடல் வரிகள்) - Anbe en anbe (dhaam dhoom - song lyrics)

2008-09-17T19:34:00.016+05:30

அன்பே என் அன்பே உன் விழி பார்க்க
இத்தனை நாளாய் தவித்தேன்
கனவே கனவே கண் உறங்காமல்
உலகம் முழுதாய் மறந்தேன்
கண்ணில் சுடும் வெயில் காலம்
உன் நெஞ்சில் குளிர் பனிக்காலம்
அன்பில் அடை மழைக்காலம்
இனி அருகினில் வசப்படும் சுகம் சுகம்

நீ நீ ஒரு நதி அலையானாய்
நான் நான் அதில் விழும் இலையானேன்
உந்தன் மடியினில் விழிந்திடுவேனோ
உந்தன் கரை தொட பிழைத்திடுவேனோ
அலையினிலே பிறக்கும் நதி கடலினிலே கலக்கும்
மனதினிலே இருப்பதெல்லாம் மௌனத்திலே கலக்கும்

அன்பே என் அன்பே உன் விழி பார்க்க
இத்தனை நாளாய் தவித்தேன்
கனவே கனவே கண் உறங்காமல்
உலகம் முழுதாய் மறந்தேன்
கண்ணில் சுடும் வெயில் காலம்
உன் நெஞ்சில் குளிர் பனிக்காலம்
அன்பில் அடை மழைக்காலம்
இனி அருகினில் வசப்படும் சுகம் சுகம்

நீ நீ புது கட்டளைகள் விதிக்க
நான் நான் உடன் கட்டுப்பட்டு நடக்க
இந்த உலகத்தை ஜெயிதுடுவேனே
அன்பு தேவதைக்கு பரிசளிப்பேன்
எதை கொடுத்தோம் எதை எடுத்தோம்
தெரியவில்லை கணக்கு
எங்கு தொலைத்தோம் எங்கு கிடைத்தோம்
புரியவில்லை நமக்கு

அன்பே என் அன்பே உன் விழி பார்க்க
கனவே கனவே கண் உறங்காமல்
கண்ணில் சுடும் வெயில் காலம்
உன் நெஞ்சில் குளிர் பனிக்காலம்
அன்பில் அடை மழைக்காலம்
இனி அருகினில் வசப்படும் சுகம் சுகம்

Backstreet boys - show me the meaning of being lonely ...

2008-09-11T17:14:00.004+05:30

Artist: Backstreet boys
Song Name: Show me the meaning of being lonely...

Show me the meaning of being lonely
So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

[ Chorus ]
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze upon me
Guilty roads to an endless
love (endless love)
There's no control
Are you with me now?
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

[ Chorus ]
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
[ Tell me why ]
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
How can it be
You're asking me
To feel the things you never show

You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are

[ Chorus ]
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
[ You are missing in my heart ]

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

Tanhaai - loneliness ...

2008-09-11T15:57:00.008+05:30

One of my favourite songs ...

with English translation ...

Movie Name: Dil Chahta Hai
Lyric Name: Tanhayee
Lyricists: Javed Akhtar
Music Director: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Singer(s): Sonu Nigam

Tanhaai, tanhaai (Loneliness, loneliness )
Dil ke raaste mein kaisi thokar maine khaayi (On the roads of love what blows have I taken )
Toote khwaab saare, ek maayusi hai chhaayi (All my dreams broke, a cloudiness has come about )
Har khushi so gayi, zindagi kho gayi (Every happiness has gone to sleep, my life is lost )
Tumko jo pyaar kiya maine to sazaa main paayi (I fell in love with you so I received punishment )
Tanhaai, tanhaai, milo hai phaili hui tanhaai (Loneliness, loneliness, I have received pervading loneliness ) - 2
[Khwaab mein dekha tha ek aanchal (In my dreams I had seen a shawl )
Maine apne haathon mein (In my hands )
Ab toote sapnon ke shishe (Now the glass of broken dreams )
Chubte hai in aankhon mein (Are piercing my eyes ) ]- 2
Kal koi tha yahin, ab koi bhi nahin (Yesterday someone was here, now there is no one )
Banke naagin jaise hai saanson mein laheraayi (As if becoming a snake my breath is wavering )
Tanhaai, tanhaai, palkon pe kitne aansu hai laayi (Loneliness, loneliness, how many tears it has brought upon my lashes) - 2
[Kyoon aisi umeed ki maine (Why did I have such a hope )
Jo aise naakaam hui (That was so unfulfilled )
Door banaayi thi manzil (I made my destination far )
To raste mein hi shaam hui (So only in the path night came) ]- 2
Ab kahan jaaoon main, kisko samjhaaoon main (Now where do I go, who do I explain it to )
Kya maine chaaha tha aur kyoon kismat mein aayi (What I wanted and why in my destiny came )
Tanhaai, tanhaai, jaise andhero ki ho gehraayi (Loneliness, loneliness, like a smokestorm of darkness )
Dil ke raaste mein kaisi thokar maine khaayi (On the roads of love what blows have I taken )
Toote khwaab saare, ek maayusi hai chhaayi (All my dreams broke, a cloudiness has come about )
Har khushi so gayi, zindagi kho gayi (Every happiness has gone to sleep, my life is lost )
Tumko jo pyaar kiya maine to sazaa main paayi (I fell in love with you so I received punishment )
Tanhaai, tanhaai, milo hai phaili hui tanhaai (Loneliness, loneliness, I have received pervading loneliness ) - 2
Tanhaai, tanhaai, tanhaai, tanhaai (Loneliness, loneliness, loneliness, loneliness )

காரணத்தை தேடி! - searching the reason !

2008-08-25T17:19:00.004+05:30

வாழ்வதற்கு காரணத்தை தேடிக்கொண்டிருந்தேன் அவளின் விழிகளை காணும் முன்,

வாழ்க்கைக்கு காரணத்தை தேடிக்கொண்டிருக்கிறேன் அவளின் விழிகளை கண்ட பின் !

English version:

I was serching the reason to live before seen her eyes,

I'm searching the reason of life after seen her eyes!

out of service...

2008-08-25T17:06:00.001+05:30

life is like a train, it will runs smoothly until both the halves running in the same direction, but when either one gets struggle train will derailed. No one put the track for train called life but it builds with the hope and love of two halves, no one knows when, which train will derailed.

I was walking ...

2008-08-25T17:02:00.001+05:30

I was walking in the tunnel with the hope of life, but all the doors are closing one by another. There are few more, I'm loosing the hope that I cant get that life, there is only one way to come out this tunnel, wakeup and come out of this life's dream.

Planning to visit Shirdi from Chennai

2008-05-28T20:17:00.001+05:30

As a thought of visiting holy places, lot of places in my mind. Shirdi is the one which is in my mind quite long time. But I feel this is the time to visit, gathering lot of information to travel to Shirdi from Chennai.

There are many ways to reach Shirdi from Chennai, by flight, train even roadway travel too.

But I like to mix with flight and roadway travel. Normally the distance between Chennai and Shirdi via road way is approximately 724 mile / 1165 km.

But I plan to travel in a different route, Chennai – Ahmadabad – Vadodara – Shirdi.

Chennai – Ahmadabad 1042 mile / 1677 km
Ahmadabad – Vadodara 64 mile / 103 km
Vadodara – Shirdi 268 mile / 432 km

Total distance from Chennai to Shirdi as per my route is 1374 mile / 2212 km, almost double the normal.

Don’t think I'm crazy but I am.

This is my first visit to Shirdi with the blessings of Shirdi Sai Baba.

Disclaimer: Distance in mile and km are approximate and not to scale.

A.R. Rahman's live concert in Chennai

2008-04-21T14:49:00.005+05:30

Thanks a lot to "The Times of India" for organized such a wonder live concert of music maestro our A.R. Rahman.

A.R. Rahman performs at ‘Changing Notes’, a live concert on Sunday (20-April-2008).

Chennai’s most musical son performed for a 50,000-strong audience in his hometown after years. A.R. Rahman himself started the show saying, “I haven’t heard sound and cheering like this in at least last two years.”

The songs were as thoughtfully ordered as they were chosen. Rhythm alternated with melody, classical with rap and rock. A.R. Rahman opened the show and then retreated behind his keyboard.

The tempo built up as Shankar Mahadevan took over from him with "Kadal Ilaiyo", and Hariharan followed with "Vaji Vaji Sivaji". Kartik had the audience roaring with the rock-based "Enakoru Girlfriend Venum" from Boys, and then the calm Jaaved Ali appeared to soothe the audience with Jashn-e-Bahaara from Jodhaa Akbar. There were some wonderful old-world moments capturing Chennai’s ability to blend the classical and the contemporary.

And of course 50,000-strong audience hearts were stolen by my favourite song "Pray for me Brother" once again.
And I'm really happy to be a part that show as a great fan of A.R. Rahman.

Thanks a lot to everyone those who were all behind such a wonderful music concert.

Rhapsody - AR Rahman's Pray for me Brother

2008-04-18T13:58:00.006+05:30

One of my favourite song from A.R. Rahman, though its favourite for me; its stolen millions of hearts!

Lyrics

Pray for me brother
Pray for me brother
Pray for me sister
Are you searchin’...
Pray for me brother

Lookin’ for the answers To all the questions In my life
Will I be alone Will you be there By my side
Is it something he said Is it something he did
I wonder why He is searchin’ For the answers
To stay alive

Could you ever listen Could you ever care
To speak your mind
Only for a minute For only one moment
In time

The joy is around us But show me the love
That we must find
Are you searchin’ For a reason to be kind, to be kind...
He said... Pray for me brother

Pray for me brother Pray for me sister
Pray for me brother Say
what you wanna say now
But keep your hearts open
Be what you wanna be now
Let’s heal the confusion
Pray for me brother

Don’t let me take When you don’t wanna give
Don’t be afraid Just let me live
Don’t let me take When you don’t wanna give
Don’t be afraid Say what you wanna say now
But keep your hearts open

Be what you wanna be now Let’s heal the confusion
Pray for me brother Pray for me brother
I’m ashamed ah, brother be dying of poverty
when he down on his knees its only then he prays
And it’s a shame ah, brother be dying of ignorance
cos the world is a trip and everybody’s a hypocrite
Need to stop ah , taking a look at the other
I’m not ashamed of poverty
need to be making his life better
So think about it, think about it once more
cos life is a blessing and it’s not justa show, ah
Round and round the world is spinning around

We need to be singing a prayer, we need to be singing it now
Round and round the world is turning around
We need to be singing a prayer, we need to be singing it now
Need to be feeling the power, need to be feeling the faith
We need to coming together just to win this race

Need to be feeling the power, need to be feeling the faith
We need to coming together just to win this race
We need to coming together just to win this race
Are you searching for a reason to be kind ?

I'm expecting this song on A.R. Rahman's live concert in Chennai on 20th April 2008. Hope millions of heart stolen song will be done once more!.

Stepping into a New Year with a hope of love...

2008-04-08T11:20:00.001+05:30

Stepping into a New Year with a hope of love and peace of mind, though life gives lots of lessons by good and bad times, they are all the parts of life.

As today is the starting day of one more year in my life, lots of thoughts comes in my mind here and there, do we really satisfied by as what we are now. Hopefully I’m not since lots of things have to achieve in life, as not like climbing the Everest Mountain, deep dive into the sea and touch the whale… but live life to help others as much as I can.

May be this day will lead me to find the path of helping others; and not only finding the path but also walk through the path with you all.

No one has the power to destroy the unchangeable things.

2008-03-11T18:46:00.003+05:30

No one has the power to destroy the unchangeable things. Yes I realized this sentence most of the time, even last week too. What it means to me? It means to me, what is happening now is because it has to happen... confuse! For this I like to remember the quote of a samurai "Hojo Nagauji" and the quote was...

"Consider that which exists to exist and that which does not exist to not exist, and recognize things just as they are. With such a frame of mind, one will have divine protection even though he does not pray. - Hojo Nagauji (1432-1519)"

Last week I remembered this quote and felt it's so much true. What had happened to me to felt like this...?

A long journey from home to office almost 30km (18.65 mile), my office has been changed from Tidel to RMZ Millennium, new office located beyond the old one. I need new identification card to park my vehicle inside the staff parking premises; else I need to park in the visitors parking premises.

First day for my new office, of course I need to park my vehicle in the visitors parking premises. Thank God, there was no problem on that day. And I got the new identification card to park my vehicle inside the staff parking premises.

The next day, it was so horrible day when that incident happened; I parked my vehicle in the basement of the office. When time ticks around 20:00 it was an intimation to start. My self and my friend Arvind were starting to leave; I found my vehicle back wheel got flatted! This is where the lessons start. We both went outside to find some shop to get my vehicle normal. Time clicks almost 20:30 there was no one at that time. So I thought to left my vehicle in the basement itself and go to home by a local train.

Arvind said that we can move the vehicle to near by shop and we make it normal, but I said to him "if I move the vehicle, tube's mouth will get damage and I have to change with the new one". Then he dropped me in the "Thiruvanmiur" railway station which is opposite to Tidel Park, clock almost clicked 20:45 when I got my ticket.

I haven't been traveled in local train almost last 2 years in that route. I remembered my old days when I traveled in the same route to reach my office, how terrible it was. Since we can see the train once in 45 min only, but now it has been improved to 10 min, got the corner seat and traveled almost 30 min to reach Park Town station, so time clicked almost 21:15. Have to walk 15 min to reach Central railway station from Park Town, when I reached there, train was just left from the station, oh no! I need to wait almost 30 min for the next train.

When my watch shows 22:00 another train has been started from the Central railway station. Train reached Perambur railway station by 22:20. Thank God, there was a bus to reach my home from railway station. I reached my home around 22:45

My parents asked me whether I went to temple, because that day was a 'Maha Siva raathiri'. There was an explanation. Then finished my dinner by 23:00; went to temple for a darshan of Lord Siva, came home by 01:10 of next day.

Woke up around 08:00, thought it was a nice day. I started to office around 11:00, waited 30 min in railway station for ticket, one more 30 min in the same railway station to get the Train. Damn! it took almost 3 hr for me to reach office.

Then I reached office by 14:00. Went to basement to take a look at the vehicle, damn! my vehicle was not there where I parked. I searched near by places, no way! Then I made a complaint with security, one of the security guy came with me for searching, finally found my vehicle in a corner of parking place. Damn! Someone moved my vehicle with a flatted tube. I was shocked, I knew surely tube will get damage and have to replace with a new one.

Went to puncture shop to make some arrangements, oh no! roamed here and there for nearly 3 hr to get my vehicle ready, got a call from puncture shop: "Sir, tube mouth has been damaged, need to replace with new one, shall I replace?" what else I can do, that time I remembered, if I would have been done this last day itself, I don't need to get all these troubles in last 2 days.

I learned this lesson, "What will happen; will happen because it has to happen". It was a costliest lesson; it took 2 days of my peace of mind, money and even tension too!

Life is all about survival !

2008-03-05T15:40:00.003+05:30

Life is all about survival on something. Either directly or indirectly we are grabbing into something for our survival. Sometimes even we have to do some unwanted things for our survival in this world. Some times we grab love in this life to live happily. In some cases it will be different.

Why we have to learn education in this life and why we have to go to some job and earn money, its all about our survival. If so, even a little money is enough to live life. But why we are planning to get more money and be wealthy in this world…

Some times we can see some old man needs to work hard more than what we are doing now... because he needs to survive in this world. But most of us (including myself) have more than what we need to survive in this world, but still we are searching for something more.

Some times we can get the answers for our questions but some times not. I write this post because I want to survive in this blogger world !

The Pigeon's view point !

2008-02-19T10:32:00.012+05:30

Though the Pigeon is looks small in size; everything is looks small to its view point. :)

Got a thought to look at this world through a Pigeon's view point!

Open air with a massive greenish look, at more than a 200 ft height; without any fear of falling down. Can fly anywhere; anytime without any worries. No need to worry about hike in the fuel price, no need to worry about sound pollution, no traffic jam, no rules to fly, no speed controls... :)

No need to worry about learning new technologies everyday, no share market, no specific working timing, no BOSS to manage everything...

Natural life, no cosmetics, no need any facial creams and no worries of others view about us...

ha... there are lot of things to feel better when compare with our current life style!

Who knows, all the above thoughts may be or may not be right. Should have to ask that Pigeon to know more. :)

P.S: The photograph has been taken by myself; used Sony Ericsson W810i mobile phone on 13-FEB-2008.

Waves of thoughts !

2008-02-17T17:25:00.004+05:30

Ah! Wouldn’t be abyss; just few waves.

In simple words, happy moods may create positive thoughts; sad moments may create negative thoughts.

Positive thought's waves are makes more energy. Though if we are in a confused or in a dilemma state, sometimes our positive thoughts will gives some answers.

Sometimes in our life some shadows will be surround us; you don't need a sun light to see this world but a candle light is enough to handle that situations.

Be happy; be positive; be help to others, not even all the times but just be in the needy times.

My first journey to Tanjore – II

2008-02-07T17:23:00.000+05:30

Continuation of the part – I, that is my first day in Tanjore.

Around 10:30 of an excellent day, I woke up by the sound of knocked door. One of us came and intimate clock clicked 10:30, oh my God, we have to get ready as soon as possible, and we finished all the routine work and got ready around 12:30. It was time for lunch. Tanjore is the native place for one of us; so we had a plan to visit his home and all the family members.

We roamed some places in Tanjore and went to a Hotel called “Coffee Palace”; the hotel belongs to the family of that Tanjore native person. We had a nice lunch, good south Indian meals with sweet. Again we started to roam more street and reached his home. His mother welcomed us with pleasure. We had a nice coffee and met all the family members.

We went to the palace in Tanjore; it was so big and had a chance to look some ancient culture materials. We took some pictures and had great experience there.

Around 15:30 of the same day, we started to visit the famous BIG TEMPLE in Tanjore, it almost 15 minutes walk-able distance from his home, but due to time constraint we went there by vehicle. The big walls and doors are welcomed us with pleasant. It almost the time for the sun’s heat getting slow down. There are so many historical things about that temple. We had a great time there and sat in the garden of the temple and took some pictures.

It was around 17:30 when we have to start to reach the hotel. We booked the train ticket from Trichy to Chennai, so we would have to reach Trichy station before 21:30 of the same day. We took another train from Tanjore to Trichy and travelled in unreserved bogie. Since its easy and fastest way to reach Trichy station from Tanjore via train.

Around 21:30 of same excellent day, we reached the Trichy station and enquired about the platform and train details. Train has arrived around 22:00; we got settled in our seat which was allocated to us. We had some dosa and poori as our dinner. It was around 23:30 we started to sleep. Train reached Chennai city around 05:30 of the next day. Each of us went back to our normal routine work again.

I cannot forget those wonderful days in my life ever, nice place and great experience in SASTRA and BIG TEMPLE.

My first journey to Tanjore - I

2008-02-06T16:43:00.001+05:30

I thought, if I write the everything about that journey, surely it will have more to read, so I thought to write until the day one in Tanjore and thought to write another blog which has remaining part, followed by this one.

A rush way to reach home from my office to get back to the Railway station in time, there was few more hour to start the journey. I would have been missing this journey since I didn’t confirm my presence with my friends those who made all the arrangements for this journey. Finally I got a chance to travel with them.

Around 19:30 of pleasant day, reached Railway station, train was scheduled to departure at 20:20. Each one of us reached in time with some materials which need to be carrying for the workshop. Got hungry to have something, had some dosa and junk foods.

Train arrived in the platform, rushed to the bogie where our seats were allocated. AC two tier bogie, we reached our seats and then we had some discussion about workshop presentation. It was time to sleep since we would have been to reach early morning to our destination, Trichy (Tiruchirapalli). We had to go from Trichy to Tanjore via road service since our train ticket booked up to Trichy destination.

Around 04:30 of next day, we reached Trichy. Two guys from SASTRA University (Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology & Research Academy) have been reached there to receive us. It was so pleasant to be there. We had a travel from Trichy to Tanjore by traveler tempo van. It took almost 2 hour journey from Trichy to Tanjore. Roads were covered with fog; we were unable to see anything around the road. We reached Hotel Gnanam – Tanjore around 06:30 same day. We suppose to get ready to reach SASTRA within few hours, had a plan to start 07:30 from hotel.

Around 07:30, each one of us got ready to start. There were three more people from SASTRA with us for guidance from hotel to SASTRA University. It’s a huge university; we got a warm welcome by the students and teachers. There was a lecture and introduction about ALERT organization to the SASTRA students, more than 300 students were in the auditorium. The whole day was an excellent experience. Surely it will be a memorable day in my life. We took some pictures with SASTRA students those who really helped us to make this workshop possible in SASTRA. We really thankful to them to made SASTRA to know about ALERT organization.

Around 21:00, all the workshops and work has been over and we reached hotel. It was dinner time! We were six people of ALERT and two from SASTRA had dinner together in the same Gnanam hotel. Then we had a plan to go to the movie near by that hotel. We went to a talkie called “Arul” and the Tamil movie was “Inthiralogathil Na. Azhgappan”. We came out of movie in the interval itself, we were unable to watch that movie. We ran away from talkie and got a vehicle to reach hotel. It was almost 00:30 of next day; we were chat till 02:30 and gone to bed and had a nice sleep.

It was my first day in Tanjore, very memorable day in my life.

The way I like to …

2008-02-01T15:11:00.000+05:30

Life is something different which we couldn’t understand what exactly it is about. Everyone’s view of life and the experience about it is different. Handling the situation will differ from one to another. The way I like to handle will differ to you; it may very difficult or very funniest or different view from yours.

I like to be in the peace of mind always as like as others. But sometimes something will frustrate our work because of some other external factors, mostly I wouldn’t feel frustrate if some one de-promote my sincere effort on something. Since their point of view may be differ from my view of thinking and doing the work. Wherever I go, whatever I do I will be as same as what I am, I don’t want to be a copy of others, I can take the good inputs from others but don’t want to be a duplicate.

Consider that which exists to exist and that which does not exist to not exist, and recognize things just as they are. With such a frame of mind, one will have divine protection even though he does not pray.
Hojo Nagauji (1432-1519)

I like to live as the above quotation which was said by a samurai Hojo Nagauji (1432-1519) http://edtech.suhsd.k12.ca.us/actnow/act/dfickett/japan/quotes.html

Why this...?

2007-12-05T17:14:00.001+05:30

Some times the world may see me as a 'problem-less' guy, but they never know my inner reactions. Some times words may come out with a sweeter voice but my heart may feel the thorn's prick. Though my outer world seems to be happy, some silence in my inner world, some strange feelings will always be there.

Am I missing something or someone? ...

Yes, I'm missing someone. The absence of that person does not show on my outer face; it remains to be happy always but my heart feels the pain of that absence. It always makes my inner self cry to see all these doors leading to my salvation close one by one. It creates more and more distance with that person everyday and leaves me alone with no one to blame.

I have no idea how to overcome this feeling, even though I knew these things are not real; my heart can't survive them. I feel that everyone's inner self is not what we see of them on the outside. Everyone may or may not have such feelings, but I do.

I don't know how I'm going to be in the future, but I cannot change the past; I cannot change my future since it seems to be an one way road. I have little choice but to face these problems. Though my heart beats as normal as everyone, every single heart beat seems to be killing me.

Somethings we can share with friends, some with family and some with our life partner; but somethings we cannot share with anyone. Many a times, I felt it will be good if what I desired happened but now I feel why it happened for it is hard to survive these stings of thorns in my heart. I would have been happy if those things did not happen. Who knows I may feel the same in some other way.

Anyway I got used to live with this pain for almost last five years, I don't know how long it will be. Sometimes I may think why these things not happen to others, why only me... why this...

I didn't find any reasons, but I'm not willing to know them too...

why this...?

Surprised Saturday Shopping!

2007-11-05T15:04:00.000+05:30

Saturday evening, pleasant climate, my friend called up and we had a plan for shopping, it was nice. Within few minutes I got ready to go, I noticed that need to fill the fuel for my two wheeler when it was start, after filled up, I was start to ride my bike without knowing that surprise, my friend and me were met in one place.

It was T.Nagar(Thiyagaraya Nagar/Mambalam), very crowed place always, heavy traffic, it was Diwali festival season too. We didn't find any places for parking, finally I thought to park my vehicle in a specified place, its safe, no tow and no risk since its a paid parking place :)

It took nearly one and half an hour to reach there from my home. Then we went to 'khadims' shop to buy some shoes, but we didn't find anything up to our taste. So we left that shop and tried to cross the road, it was heavy crowed, traffic police were navigate the vehicles and we were wait until our turn to cross the road.

We went to 'Pothys' shop to buy some dresses, we had to go to the fourth floor, oh my God! heavy crowed in that shop too. We went to fourth floor by steps :( . Then started to search some dresses, first one was a trouser, we got a nice one, then we moved to another side of that floor, suddenly I felt that something is going to happen, my old friend was crossing me without knowing that I was there, I SURPRISED, I said "HELLO" with a louder voice, he stunned and turned around me, what a surprise? :) we didn't met; It was hardly seven years, then we spoke for few minutes since its heavy crowed place. I was so happy to met him in that place. We shared some of our old days memories!

Then we got back to home with a happy and peace of mind!

My first working experience!

2007-10-29T18:18:00.000+05:30

I thought to write a crispy and short note, I believe it will not makes you boring.

Three years, it has been a very memorable time in my life, I never thought that I will be in the IT industry until I got my first offer! actually I was a fresher, new place, new people, new environment...

Cool friends and colleagues, nice project... what I learned was more than what I worked in project, it was more than 30 members team, project was under tremendous pressure, but we worked together in a way that we never felt the pressure. Out of 30 members team we were 7 people very closer, were everyone called us 7 stars.

Some times we stayed very late night and had dinner, we made order and had in office cafeteria, went to home by private cabs, it was very funny days.

Some times we had parties in some hotels and we were together to celebrate. If any one's marriage from our team, even in the out station, we were together to celebrate.

We went to OOTY as occasion, we were enjoyed our trip and those days are never forgettable!

Even some times we went to talkies to watch some movies.

Dec 2006 Christmas celebration, a game has been introduced in the company, on last day of the game, each one suppose to be perform anything like acting, singing a song or dancing. I can't perform these things, but I thought to sing a song, its very old song and my favourite too - "KAN PONA POAKILE...". That was my first time ever in my life singing a song.

Those days are never forgettable.

What we need!

2007-10-26T16:56:00.000+05:30

What we need in this life, are we looking for the life which has nothing but the success and there is no word to mean the failure?, If we look for this, we will not initiate anything. Since the coin has two faces, if one is success another suppose to be the failure. We are not here to make a probability to get the success and the failure while we toss the coin.

Our part is up to toss the coin, whether we get the success or the failure its not in our hand, but the way we take, its in our hand.

Our world is a classroom, whether its a success or its a failure there is a lesson always, the lesson to become the strong and face any circumstances. If we get the success then the lesson is to face the failure and the way to get more success. If we get the failure then the lesson is to analyse the factor to get success and to point out our mistakes.

Sometimes we suppose to get the success but due to some external factors we may get the failure, its not the failure up to us, since our part is a success but its a failure overall.

Finally come to the point, what we need? need to be the honest in our part, a single brick cannot build the bridge, but each good brick can be a part of good bridge.

Be the good brick, and take a part to build good bridge!

Every man creates a world of his own!

2007-10-26T11:22:00.000+05:30

Every man creates a world of his own - sounds like strange, is that so?

But what is true, even though we depends on some one, we are the one who can create or change our own destiny! It doesn't mean that we should not be obedient to others. At the same time we should not lose our value. There is only one replacement for our role its none other than us! Since we born to live, we born to reach our destiny. Most of the time we lose ourselves in unwanted worldly things. What we feel is not the real, its just the reflection of our thoughts, what we heard, what we learned, what we smelled,...

One can taste some liquid and say its sour, some one taste the same and will say its sweet...what is real? how the same liquid can be the different taste, its nothing but our thoughts...

what is sweet, what is sour, what is salty... One can say its too sweet, but someone say its not much sweet... how it can be? its nothing but the signal from our brain our thoughts, then what is real?

Is that we born to live for worldly things or born to understand, identify the real joy? What we see now that may not exists tomorrow... If that is true what we seen yesterday, why its vanished now, it suppose to be exists now also! Is that means its not real? then what is real, where is it, how we can reach it...

This is the way I search something in this world everyday!...
