No Wonder

After watching Top Chef and Amazing Race and wanting to watch the season finale of CSI: NY, I hit the bed reluctantly at around 11 PM just because of the fact that I need to get the office bus next morning. I did get-up on time and after my usual routine of checking my mails and sending morning mails to my friends and family, I started of swiftly to board the office bus as usual.The worse part here was that I missed to pick my mobile and the worst part was I didn't have even a single rupee in my wallet apart from the 20 which I had to pay for the Auto.

On my way to the stop I decided to borrow a mobile to make an urgent call from one of more 20 colleagues who would board the bus in my stop, though I didn’t know anyone among them and I haven't spoken to any despite of the fact that we all board there for almost more than 2 yrs. I know it is kind of weird but then, that’s the way people are these days in this industry. The four most common things these people do in the bus is either they sleep or read or sit idle else fall in love with their i-pods. I fall into the first category here :)

It was drizzling slightly that day and I boarded the bus and took the only window seat which was left free to my surprise. I was expecting a guy to take the seat by my side.You know why ??? Most girls avoid sitting beside me for some reason... :)  Unfortunately a girl sat next to me and I lost the hope of making that urgent call then. Well many would argue saying all that I had to do was to ask her to use her phone and the job is done. But all that I could think about was “What if she denies???”That very thought of getting a no made me skeptical about asking and my mind was racing with its thoughts and it was swinging in dilemma whether to ask or not. And by the time I decided the bus had crossed half the way to Office.Well the decision was to make the call after reaching office. :) It is then I realised a fact in my life..... ! ! !

No wonder I had no guts to propose the girl I liked so much :)

Living Legend

Living legend is too simple a word to describe this young man... :) Well from the innings he plays you can still call him the "Little Master Blaster". No price for guessing the man. Dravid once said that on offside there is god and then there is Ganguly. To me in the cricket field there is god then there is Sachin. It would be a crime to not have a blog on my hero for the past 16 years after the knock he played against Australia in Hyderabad. Commentators were running out of superlatives to describe his shots and his placement. He never plays to answer his critics but this knock was an answer all those senseless and brainless idiots suggesting that he should retire. I really wonder why should he retire when he scores almost 1000 runs a year studed with an innings of such quality in pressure situations.

I am sure there is hell a lot to write about this living legend but then I am going to wait till he hangs his boots. That for me would be a black day, in fact millions would feel the same. I hope he wins the world cup before he retires thats the only missing stone in his already splendid crown.

Hail Sachin and Long Live Sachin.....

Be in touch

It has been almost 5 years since I came out of college.One thing that most people find difficult is to keep in touch with friends from school and college. They somehow loose contact even with orkut and facebook :) When they come across after a long time there is some kind of a barrier developed by time and it reflects in the way they get along. I know life has to move on and you can't have your friends forever.It would be really stupid to think so, unless you start a venture together and remain as business partners ... :) 


I have even seen some of the best friends end up in a "Hi-Bye" relationship. This is not only due to the competitive world that we are in today.The major reason is that we expect a lot out of our friends even after we take different paths in life which is impossible. I have lost few good friends this way. The best way to continue the friendship is just to begin where you left. Enjoy every moment you spend with them together after a long time instead of getting in to complaining mode fighting that they didn't make any efforts to be in touch with you. Just cherish the moments that you get in this competitive and mechanical world. I hope that all my friends read this and I hope to cherish all the moments that I get with them in the future.


Love you all.  Try to be in touch .... :) 


Disclaimer : 
This is only for those value each others friendship and have little time to get together in this busy world. It is totally stupid to touch base with someone who does not value your friendship and I would never ever do that for sure... 

What a Girl can do :)

I am not going to debate on who is superior " Boy or Girl". I am never going to argue on that because both are totally different in most aspects and have their own strengths and weakness.The interesting fact is that both complement each other and it would be really a nightmare to be in a world with just guys or girls.At least for me I would prefer being in an environment with a little glamour quotient than in a Mechanical department. :) No offense intended.


Coming back to what a girl can do, many argue that they can do anything what a guy can do but not many can substantiate the statement.But a few days back I realised what a girl can do that guys can never. We travelled in an auto from not knowing that we had no change to pay for the Auto.So when we reached the place we searched in our wallets only to find a couple of 500 denominations. So I requested for change almost in all shops and even to the auto drivers in that location without much luck. :( ....


All I had to do was give th 500 to a girl and send her to the same shop where they denied me change and she just returned with 5*100 notes in just couple of mintues. It was bloody frustrating, but then realised it is after all a Girl's world and everyone is as poruki as I am :) I left the place wondering about chanakya's quote which goes like this..


" The world's biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman." ....

Dress Code...

This is one topic that has been the most debated one and also will be a most debated one for long time... :)

Somehow people don't come to terms with basic human rights and end up accusing a group of people for their dress code.The group which is most affected is women in this issue. I really pity them for that fact they come under scrutiny most times. I really can't imagine Sania Mirza playing her matches in gowns covering her length and breadth. She would be out of the circuit for good. She gets noticed for her dress than her powerful forehand strokes which she is very good at.

In yet another incident an actress was accused by few politicians or the so called social activists for wearing skimpy clothes for one of the function presided by the CM.That was a bloody cheap attempt to be in news :) I am sure they would have drooled over her in the function before accusing her in the press... :)  I would like to see these people, running the government ban movies for the usage of skimpy clothes. I am sure theatres and mutiplexes will be out of business.The funniest thing here is the accusers should watch the movie produced by CM's son before making such accusation.I wonder why is that only women are targeted for the dress code. In my opinion few heroes should be hanged to death for their colorful costumes. You know who I mean here ... :)

I also find it strange to see that remarks of these kind on women don't come from the female celebrities ! It is generally men who make the most noise. They are so keen in what their opposite sex wears than they themself :) To me there should be nothing called as dress code expect for the educational institutions and servcies. It is  a human right to wear what he or she feels comfortable for her and to the ocassion. As long as they are ok with what they wear it is perfectly fine. We can of course make comments on what they wear and how it suits them but never force or order them to follow a dress code. In one of the talk shows a year an actress claimed that it is their wish and they will wear anything they feel like. I completely second her thoughts as long as she wears something :)

At the sametime I wouldn't like to hear women saying
Che indecent fellow , Epadi pakuran paaru...
Chi karumam enga paakuran paru di avan...
Evanuga yellam thirunthavae maatanuga...
Thirunthadha jenmam di avan vidu ......
so on and so forth. That's totally unfair.

PS : No offense intended on anyone in particular.

What Dollars can do :)

A family in Gujarat was puzzled when the coffin of their dead mother (Ba) arrived from the US . It was sent by one of the daughters.

The dead body was very tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no space left in it when they opened the lid; they found a letter on top addressed to her brothers and sisters:

Dear Chandrakantbhai, Arvindbhai,Smitaben and Varsha ,

I am sending Ba's body to you,since it was her wish that she should be cremated in the compound of our ancestral home in GUJARAT. Sorry, I could not come along as all of my paid leave is consumed. You will find inside the coffin, under Ba's body, cans of cheese, 10 packets of Tobler chocolates and 8 packets of Badam (peanuts) please divide these among all of you. On Ba's feet you will find a new pair of Reebok shoes (size 10) for Mohan. There are also 2 pairs of shoes for Radha's and Lakshmi's sons. Hope the sizes are correct. Ba is wearing 6 American T-Shirts. The large size is for Mohan. Just distribute the rest among yourselves. The 2 new Jeans that Ba is wearing are for the boys. The Swiss watch that Reema wanted is on Ba's left wrist. Shanta masi, Ba is wearing the necklace, earrings and ring that you asked for. Please take them off her..The 6 white cotton socks that Ba is wearing must be divided among my nephews Please distribute all these fairly.

Love - Nitu.

PS : If anything more required let me know soon as Bapuji is also not feeling too well now a days.

This is one of the forwards that I received today and was really wondering if there are people like Nitu. I pray and hope not. Though things are blown out of proportion here, I happen to know a guy who stayed in USA instead of attending his mother's funeral just to safe his position in this recession there in USA. I should be addresing the guy as an animal here. Well the after effects is that he was sent back just after couple of months. I somehow felt little happy hearing that with a villanious smile in my heart ... :)

Does dollars have more value than our loved ones ????

Obviously it is not, 200 %

Break-Up

I have already posted on this topic here. What made me start another post about this is a fantastic movie called Nadodigal. To say in a sentence, it is a classic piece of work by the director and the cast with minimum flaws.

Talking on the movie, the major plus to it is the dialogues and it's delivery especially by Sashi. I just loved hearing the native accent of Madurai which is proving to be winner is most movies ignoring the movies used to turn Black to white .. :) Though the movie lost its momentum in the later parts it was worth the watch. The comedy was carried all the way along with the story and the cast handled it really well. The atthai ponnu "Anaya" was great with her expressions, but turned out to be a pretty normal girl going against her wish and crying her whole life about that. The father guiding his son on love was something good to see happening at least in the screen :) In fact each and every character was portrayed in manner that they left an impression though small but strong in our minds.

The three main characters including Sashi helps his friend in getting married to a girl against their parents wishes with great difficult sacrificing a lot. This was so cinematic and I can bet not many will do 1% of what the they do even for their closest friend, leave alone a common friend. But then there are still few fools like this even now.... :) The climax was the best ending this movie could have had and I really appreciate the director for not turning the characters into killing spree as done in most movies.

Back to break-ups. Is it really a sin to have a break-up.....? I guess not at all.When 2 people get together they have their own expectations out of each other, and when that is not met we have a barrier developing between them. There is no real threat to the relationship as long as the barrier is to an acceptable level but, if that's growing higher and higher then it is better we have break-up instead of continuing it which is a pain for both involved. They can remain friends forever even after the break-up. I don't see any reason why they can't ..... :) Well having said this, if only one is not interested in the relationship anymore and wants a break-up then that's called ditching , a word most associated with girls barring few guys :) Well at least from what I have seen it has been mostly the girls (99.99%). I am not going argue about the reason behind it. Those are obvious.... :)

The major problem is that people get along just on physical attraction and call that to be love. So once they out of the physical desire they end up in a break-up. This is ridiculous. I would prefer people being open on their intentions in a relationship. It is better to be together and see if things work between them and then fall in love rather than jumping in too early and regretting the thought later. In simple you can better call it a pre-marital affair if that is what your intentions are, that way people will not mistake true lovers. That's the whole point brought in the and I very much agree to that.

In-Laws

This is

This is one topic which most girls may find it offending, it would be better for them to stop with this very first sentence before hating me ... :) So here we go .....

I see many girls these days cut short of smiles which they had a few months back only to remember that they are married now and live with their In-Laws. Well it is really difficult for the girls to leave a place and people with whom they have been comfortable with for the past 20 odd years and move to a new place and get used to all those whom they have hardly met. This holds good for any kind of a marriage.Well this relocation concept as they call in IT industry is difficult for guys too.But it's the girls who are the scape goats in our society set-up and I really pity them and there is very little that we can do about it.

So what is that very little we can do about it ? Hmmm... ! Thats a Good question :)

This doesn't mean that I don't have an answer for this. I do have one and it is simple. All that we have to is just understand others and their feelings or emotions what ever they call it. Easier said than done. ... :) I know. Well somehow I get a feeling that most Mother-In-Law and Daughter-In-Laws hates each other.Spending considerable time analysing what the reason behind this,we will narrow down to a simple issue called the possessiveness :) The Mother feels that her son is being taken away from her while the girl finds her In-Law to be great hindrance in her way to get along with her husband.It is just a pshycological problem.

Simple fact is the newly weds needs to spend considerable time to get along and it is very natural that they spend most of their time with the new found companion than anybody else.Everybody takes a back seat in their life including siblings,friends and even parents.All we have to realise is that after marriage the priorities get changed which would have been the case even when they were married but somehow they find it difficult to get in terms when they face the music.

Now coming to guys,all they have to do is reduce or if possible abort their Male Chauvinism and treat their In-Laws as their parents and not like a strangers on whom you can count on for your financial needs.No offence here but that's how many are today.Exceptions are handful in this case.

And now to girls, they are the ones with a major chunk to do here. Treat your In-Laws as your family and don't get bogged down by the thought that you have to adjust to all this crap until I get the guy out of this family and start a nuclear family.Instead try to adapt to the new life and you will feel part of a new family as you felt back in your home.I bet this will never happen overnight but then it will happen for sure provided you are patient enough. How long is a question nobody can answer.

It all depends on how much both parties wanting to be together in harmony... :)

The whole point behind me writing this post is a question from my friend. "What do u think about a Joint Family" ? Well when someone asks you a opinion on something you can be assured that they have something against it. I did give her my opinion on that, but what was shocking to know was her idea about the joint family.To me a joint family is one where u haveathais,mamas,chithappas,chithis,paati.thatha so on and so forth.I guess most would agree with me on this,but to her just the presence of In-Laws makes it a joint family. I was alarmed to hear this. May be it is because of the definition in one of our company policy for family where it reads " Family is you , your spouse and your kids " .. :)

Well may be she is not at fault. The society has now become more self-centred and everybody thinks only for themself than it was before including me.The family set-up is now becoming more and more nuclear and thats ridiculous for me. I wonder who will take care of the parents if everyone wants to live only with their better-half.One thing we have to remember is ,what we are today and what we will be tomorrow is all because of our parent's sacrifice in the past and it is really unfair to be bloody selfish and live only for yourself ignoring the elders.

I would suggest, infact advice against having a companion who is not going treat your parents with some concern.This holds good for both guys and girls.

Top Slip

It is kind of weird feeling when you are with a group of guys whom you hardly meet or speak, but still feel one among themslef and have fun and enjoy with them.

It is even more weird when you are with the guys whom you meet daily and speak daily and still don't feel part of them when you are with them .... :)

Mind = ???

You are turning out to be a sentimental guy.

- Rajesh

There is some kind of an negative pattern in your recent blogs.

- Sayee

These were few comments that I got from my friends for the blogs I have posted recently.Few others also reflected same comments reading my blog.So I just sat back retrospecting the stuff that I had written for the past 6 months and what my friends felt seemed true to me.There was quite a dose of bad energy in those blogs except the last one which I wrote for my 25th Birthday.But it was accidental that the blogs had a pattern which were mere incidents in my life :)Those incidents have changed me for good."That one thing which doesn't kill makes you stronger".But certainly I have not become a sentimental guy as my friend Rajesh has guessed.Even now I am predominantly a brain ruler,at the same time I am not denying the fact that I do decide from heart at times.

My zoology teacher once asked "Where is our mind ?".Back then we were flabbergasted by this question and we were not able to justify our answers.He was witty enough to counter all the reasoning we gave them then.At last we just lost the hope of convincing him with our answers.But the interesting fact at the end of the discussion was that all 20 odd people in the class had only 2 answers and they were Brain and Heart.Little did we know that Mind is just a mixture of both Heart and Brain.

I have heard people saying that he is a Heart ruler and she is a Brain ruler.So does that mean the Heart ruler makes decisions based only on what is heart says and he doest not put his brain to use and the vice-versa for the Brain rulers.. :) Of course not, the factor to differentiate is the percentage of what they use the most in most circumstances.I bring in another factor circumstances as many would use both heart and brain interchangeably depending on the circumstances.For instance a Manager may sack a person just like that using his brains but when he has something for an employee then he tends to hesitate and that is where the emotions come into picture.So for the same situation a person can use either.So in my personal opinion it is only the mind which is responsible for the decisions we make and not just the heart or the brain.

Mind is responsible for one's thoughts as well as feelings.Ones knowledge and intellectual ability depends on their Mind which is fed by both heart and brain.In simple there is not a single person the world in who is 100% either Heart ruler or 100% Brain ruler.Every human is basically a Mind ruler where heart and brain have their share to play.So where is this mind now ??? Back to square one the 8th std question and the answer is yet to be found. .... :) Let me know if anyone can come up with the answer.

As to me Mind is something logical which is wandering between heart and brain taking sides then and there :) I am sure I can justify my Zoo teacher if at all I get to meet him now.

So finally I have broken the jinx with no such patterns as felt by my friends.

One final thing " I am also a mind ruler with brain playing the most part :) "

Mi vida hasta ahora ... !

It is 1:11 AM and I sit in front of the lappy crushing my grey cells to which is now 25 years old thinking of Mi vida hasta ahora. Well there is nothing much in it worth a mention.But then everybody has their own story which they cherish. Here I cherish mine :)

My best memory of the childhood is LKG which I did in a school whose premises was in a home in my neighbourhood. It has been quite a journey from there to what and where I am today.My life graph have not seen many dips or peaks and it has been consistently average all along.The highest peak would be my 12th std when I stood 3rd in my school and 1st in my department, incidentally that's the only year I ever concentrated on my studies and the worst surge would my attempt to learn Hindi where I scored 18 on 100 in prathmic and my attempts in finding a girl friend :) I was patheticat both. It was fun in school being "Jack of many trades but master of none". I took up acting, dancing, hockey, karate, and even singing and keyboard but never did I excel in any of these. May be the only thing I was good at was talking and I remember my history teacher telling me that I will become an orator one day.

I was a timid and was bullied till my 7th std and it is only after that I came into terms with life.Few changes during 9th std helped me and the next 4 yrs of school was great I should say. Never will I forget a moment in those 4 years. My failed attempts in overhauling the beautiful girl (at that time) in studies,getting caught in many scams ranging from question paper stealing to eve teasing,those night studies where we never studied,tuition classes where we hardly listened and all those movies I watched lying to my parents, fighting with friends for silly things,First love and also second love :) ,getting to know all filthy language very early,sex lessons & matter movies and many more. Everything is still fresh in my mind. Minnalae deserves a special mention here as we watched that 14 times in theatre in a span of 2 months before our 12th public exams.And 8th std also deserves a special mention as I was close to being evicted from school twice and managed to get put of them even before my parents knew about that. I wonder if my dad knew about them even now. :)

As far as college is concerned it was a total cultural shock to me and it took couple of months for me to get used to it and then it was just another 4 years of fun.It was complete fun filled life both at hostel and in the classes.I learnt enough there if not technically but personally.It was here I was getting matured to a great deal and there a great deal of change in my lifestlye.I met few of my close friends with whom I have had a great time and also a Girl on whom I had a no clue that she will come through rest of my life. I also met of couple of girls one who is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen till date and another whom I admire till date. It was unfortunate I didn't get to know them personally :) I should really thank god coming out of college without any history of arrears and getting a decent job at the end though I never liked it.

It has been almost 4 years after college and these four years have been the toughest of all 25.The only good thing after college for me was I got a girl friend who is more than what I deserve.She had thought what love is all about and how it feels to be loved.I have learnt hell lot about life than I did for couple of decades.These 4 years have proved many of my perceptions and theories about life I had till college.I am yet to come in terms with that. It has not been an easy change as it was in college. May be it is because I don't want to accept it as I don't like it :) I have seen drastic changes in my thoughts and I am not sure if I am convinced of the life that I lead now or wanted in future.Few choices by me have gone wrong and a great deal of dilema prevails at the moment and the a recent recession had a very little part to play in it.But still it is interesting and I am hoping to get out of it ASAP.After all you have to go through rough patch at somepoint of time in life :)

It is 2:58 now and I am almost dozing off.But memories of life hits my mind fresh like the waves hit the shore.It was great rewinding my life so far.There has been lot more apart from what is written here and I hope there will be a lot more when I sit down to write again at 50.Hopefully I am alive to do that :)

The journey continues ......

Winners Biography

" Pen is mighter than sword " and many from the Media fraternity would agree to this and so will the common man. Infact it is media who decides what we read in our history lessons. :) 

But now the question is Is the power of the pen put to good use ????  The answer is obvious. Well we will not take the channels owned by the Political parties who just boast of their so called achievements which they have never done and cheap blaming of the opposition parties.It is the normal media I am talking about and not even the tabloids which are known to publish only the gossips and conspiracies  which may become true later.

The incident which triggered this thought was a news in which the media were keen to report the luxury Car a celebrity would get for her fiancee and her marriage arrangements at the cost of another women's life. They were least infact not at all bothered about the one who was loosing her life. Does this mean that the media is not bothered a women's life and will not bring the injustice incurred to a lady out to the world... ??? Of course not they are not that cruel :) All they need is that the ladyloosing her life has to be another celebrity for them to come up with some cheap front page headlines like the below one. 

" Clash of the Titans for life "

The person I am talking about none oter than who won the reality show in London and have shot  to fame juts by getting bullied by others in the reality show :)

After all History is nothing but a Winners Biography.

For those of you who wonder what the hell these are, The above is the list of games which used to keep us engaged in the Summer Hols back in childhood days.This is summer again and all I do now is bang my head into computers in the office and do the same in back in home.The only difference in home is that I use a lappy and use it for fun.

I am sure thinking of those days will make u sad but still bring a subtle smile from within. Can't we be a child again ??? This is something that most people think of and wanted to be but it is highly impossible. Is it really impossible ? Of course not.We can always be a child and it is our choice. But as we grow up we dump many things into our mind and heart and don't let our emotions out.Have you ever seen grown ups indulge in physical fights like children do and laugh out loud as though there is no problem in the whole universe with the same person whom they fought with in another 10 mins.I would be surprised or rather taken aback to hear an yes.They never learn the word diplomacy till they grow up. Their actions are straight from the heart and that's what helps them to be happy always.

The will to be a child or rather as happy as a child depends on our mind and the priorities we set for our self. As far as the child is concerned their happiness depends on the candy they get,games they play, new dress they wear for a festival and the films they watch of their favourite star. As we grow up we tend to forget all the happiness that we get doing such simple things and strive harder and harder, not satisfied with what we have got. What pushes us so hard is one simple fact is " Peer Pressure". I have heard many saying.... 

"He gets a better salary man" 

"He owns a luxury car" 

"She has got a jewel set wit diamonds"

"Man he got a new girl friend"  

" You know what he has built a new home"

so on so forth that they never realise what they have for themselves. They care more about how others lead life and try living in parallel lines. That is where all the problems start. According to me everyone has their own life which they have to relish.I really wonder why people attend sessions from " Art of Living". Isn't that something which should be natural .... ???? Keep life simple and Live your own life,You can be as happy as a child is forever.

Do something because you like doing it and not because someone else is doing it and that gives them happiness.

PS: For explantion of the games mail me personally @ naga.presin@gmail.com :) 

My Ocean

Known is a drop and unknown is a ocean is a well known saying and is 200% true.We can keep learning throughout our life as long as u have interest to learn something.Having said this it is almost a quarter century since my birth and I have my own list which I always wanted to learn but have not so far.

Keyboard - I as such a great interest in music that I was a choir member in school.This black box as somehow attracted me and I love running my fingers through it.

Cricket - As another other normal Indian kid my dream was to be Sachin.Born in Madurai in a conservative family ruined my dream... :) 

Basket Ball - To me this is a glamour game and I just wanted to learn it to show off... :)

Poker - I just love the contradicting silence and arrogance at the same time involved in this game. Well thanks to facebook I am practising it online now without loosing my money.

Dancing - This is my childhood interest and I have even tried my hand in it.But most attempts were group dancing. I always wanted to dance with a pair and I regret ruing my only chance to dance with a junior girl in school due to inferiority complex and shyness ... :) I cant believe I was shy then.

Sign Language - It is always fun to communicate in a language that most people or foreign to.

Horse Riding - You feel like  aking when u are in a horse. Have rode once in the beach but I would love to ride on a real horse :) 

MBA - Above all  MBA has been the most important thing I wanted to learn in my life."MBA is a thavam" .It started as an intuition back in childhood days and has become an obsession now. I even have an awful promise that I made to myself till I finish my MBA.The worst part is that I haven't made an serious attempt for that and am still playing the game called LIFE safe... :) 

Having finished my unknown drops it looks like a tag and everyone in my blog roll can complete it.

Lost

"I want to continue your friendship for rest of my life "

"I hope we remain friends forever ".. and so on these were few lines that I found in my Slam Book. People who wrote this are not in contact with any.They have their own set of friends from their work place and forget the ones from college.


Its normal dude, why do u want to make a fuzz of it now ?????

Of course it is normal and I am not making a fuzz of it. It is the hypocrites that I am bothered about.There was this one guy who cried like a girl in our farewell an created such a scene as if he is going to miss us more than anything but never bothered to keep in touch with any after college.It is so funny to see photos of that guy crying in farewell now... :) As for the others they are in touch somehow or at least make an attempt to be in touch with. I am really happy about it. After all, everyone has their own life to be taken care of and everyone has very little time for friends in this competitive world.Everyone has to accept this bitter fact. At the same time it does not mean that you don't have time for a call or mail or even a scrap. That sounds ridiculous to me.

What prompted me in writing this blog is many of my friends didn't turn-up to check on me after a surgery which I had recently in my spine. I was really dis-appointed. I am not blaming the ones in Chennai. Travelling 450 Kms just to check on me is not a great a trip to make ... :) She1 from " NEWFORT " who was very stubborn being friend with me didn't even care calling me. Another called saying that she would drop by but never did, but she did call me back again for some help.Bloody selfish :-/. Even after me reaching chennai only few close friends came home and many were busy with their business and didn't find an hour to meet me.One of my close friend who used to visit me often didn't even help me get some stuff and that was a great shock to me.Nevertheless I had to overcome it and did so with some pain.Now I DEAFA, I was like this a year back and was never caught in the emotional battle. But these 5 months of after surgery life has been tough. But it has only made me more stronger in mind than I was before :)

"That one thing which does not kill you can only make you stronger"

And now you know what we have LOST in this Modern, Competitive and Mechanical world.


So does this mean that none cared or loved or helped me in these 5 months ? Well I would be an idiot to say yes. It would be unfair not to write about them.Many have helped me to get over and I should really thank all for their help. Couple of my school friends would visit me daily with another friend of us and that was a great help as we laughed talking of the good old days....:) Another from Finland and few from US and Singapore would call me once in a while and that was soothing. Couple of other friends met me when I was in ICU and couple others met me after reaching Chennai.Of course my family members has been supportive throughout without whom I wouldn't have become normal as I am today. There were days when I was not able to walk also :(.... Many others from my office and college prayed for my good health and I am really overwhelmed by their love and care. Above all my sweetheart who has been with me all through this and will be with me throughout my life.

Love you all :)
I hope I run and ride bike and be normal as i was before in another one year..... :)

Black Valentine

What’s your favourite colour? It takes only a split second for me to come out with the answer "Black". It is as simple as that. I have also heard many saying the same when posted with the question. Well it is not the same with my parents. For them it is inauspicious and they prohibited the use of black. In fact when I was not well once my mom blamed the black dress I wore. I had to wait almost 17 yrs to get my first black trousers after lot of struggle.... :) After I started earning I got most of my dresses in black and I just love wearing it though it doesn't suit my skin texture. For me it is just a wonderful colour which has all the colours within itself... :)


The first time I wore it was for our college symposium and a guy scolded me for wearing it for the function. The one who scolded me was bloody intelligent and I was taken aback to hear it from him. Even a guy who is that modern considers black to be inauspicious. Still the day turned out to be a one for many to remember. If not for many at least for me. Thanks to the guy who spread a rumour about me and a girl.


Now coming to the valentine part. All my friends in the hostel decided to wear black for the Valentine’s Day in my 3rd year and it has been a practice since then with me to wear black on that day. It just started as fun for us but I had an instinct that there is a reason behind it. I was trying to figure out what that was only then I realised that none of my friends who wore black that day had a girl friend. After quite a lot of thinking which finally was unnecessary I came to a conclusion... :) It was just a way for us to let out the frustration of not having girl friends.... :) Well many wouldn't accept this and still argue saying that it was just for fun. But the fact is they are letting their frustration out. If a guy or girl wears black dress on Valentine’s Day then there be 3 reasons for that


1. She/he has not had any luck in finding love.
2. She/he has had a break-up and they don't believe in love anymore.
3. She/he does not believe in love.


(99 % will come under these 3 categories the other 1% are the true innocents)


The first 2 categories are common and the reasons are acceptable. I really pity the one in the 3rd category. Even I was one among them. They are the jackals coming out of the vineyard saying that the grapes are sour after having tried umpteen times to get them and failed in all the attempts.... :) This is the bitter fact. To me there is actually none in the 3rd category and all has to move to the first.


Anyways I am sure that at some point of time in life anyone and everyone will be out of these 3 categories... :) Just love the way you can. But make sure you tell your love as it would too late if you don't let them know now. I say this because we are too bad in expressing love though we love a lot.

Tough Times

Hi Everyone,

I has been almost 2 months since I posted or read anything in the blog world. [ Expensive Snap is an exception which is also not in a good shape ] It has been like living in hell though I get very good care and awesome food right in my bed from my family ... :) I have gone through the most tough times of my life so far in the past 2 months.Though the surgery caused me lots of pain, it is the mental stress caused by doing nothing which was really tough to cope up with for me . The brain is almost blank and I am not able to think or enjoy anything be it the movies or music or the food that I have enjoyed for the past 24 years.The whole world seems to be blank and me living all alone. Couple of blog attempts turned out to be awful that I restrained myself from publishing them.Many attempts to read books failed and I don't know why ? I remember the first lesson in my 10th English prose where a guy misinterprets Fahrenheit and degree when he has a fever and is afraid of his life like anything.The very thought of me having to handle myself in a softest way possible which is totally opposite to what I am within made my life even worse.I was in a very similar state of mind.Though my mind knew that I will be alright in the future , my heart refused to believe it and I was in a total jeopardy.I started showing it on my loved ones. Thanks to them for standing me in those times.Even when I type this post I am not completely out of the nut shell and I am still trying to get out of it and become my normal self at the possible earliest.Hopefully the coming blogs will be in good shape ... :) 

I wish none suffers from what I have gone through in the past 2 months and what I will go through the next one year.

Take care guys and girls.... :) 

Expensive Snap

This photo was taken on our way back from Tennesse to Richardson.It really needed few attempts and I kept jumping for about 5 to 6 times to have this picture. But little did I know that this photo is going to cost me a lakh rupees and almost a year of my life. I am least bothered about the money it is all about the amount of pain I had to undergo and the amount of trouble I had given my parents,girl friend and sisters for the operation is the one which is bothering me like anything. Due to the strain I had a disc protrusion and a cyst formation in the spine. So here comes the suggestions which I failed to follow 

• Eat less
  
• Do some kind of a exercises ( Yoga , aerobics, walking , jogging  , gyming , swimming , cycling ) Yoga is the one I would recommend.
  
• Avoid Non-Veg. I never thought I would say it this early in my life :( 
  
• Don't strain your back. ( This one is for all the software engineers sitting for a long time )
  
• Avoid stylish bikes like Apache, unicorn , pulsar.( Alter your seat positions to minimise the strain if u have these already )
  

Guys it is never too late . Start ASAP.
