Hero's plight quite analogous to the shore?Just rearrange Shore find a hero's....

Each time the wave retreats it consumes a part of the shore,

Sea so fickle in making decisions, moves back and forth giving the shore hope for not more than a few moments.
When it was the time when the shore chose to detach the sea chose to consume the whole shore, causing enough damage to the shore.

Now the shore is worn out, weak and has no where to go.......

Moved in to my life and out of it jus like the waves.

Now the wave gives it explaination....
Simple and logical.....

How long are we jus going to stay at the distance?
I decided to make you "nothing",
so that I am happy I have lost "nothing"

Now the shore for a long time from now would not have to face any more casualities.....cos the it is already broken....

Only a squeaky wheel gets its greeze....

I was brought up in a highly controlled atmoshpere, talking sense, speaking soft, sophistication,
patience were some things that were taught at home.

No one taught me that only "A squeaky wheel gets it greeze".My mom says remain silent, never react to any thing, you might as well show your other cheek if some one hits on one.I thought my mom must be right, I kept showing the other one and each time I showed the other one I got hit on that too.I went and asked my mom who had told her that? She said she read it in Gandhi's autobigraphy. I said no one is following the Gandhian principles any more, they are giving one on the other cheek too.She said its ok , people will realise one day. No one even cares.No body is guilty for having hit me. They have taken advantage of my weakness. I did not want to hit back, cos I was scared, not because I will get hit again, it was because they will get hit.I wanted to be God, which was mere stupidity.I thought, God will help me if I remain silent and be patient.My mom did not know that ahimsa was used as a weapon when people had some sense of humanity, when people realised hiting some one was wrong and now people are not even aware of the fact that it is wrong.Forget about legal illegal business, about whether it is right or wrong .My mom did not realise that God had provided me with my limbs to protect myself.She was not aware that I could hit them back and still be a hero.She was so much convinced by Gandhian principles because he had proved once that it was possible to be patient and get your work done.It took him a long time to get us independence.But after bringing us independence he hardly took any actions to make the country a better one, whats the whole point?If he had hit them hard his followers would have stuck to his ideas and would have never taken advantage of his tolerance and created new parties.If we were still a British colony may be we would have been a wealthier country. Tolerance is one of the greatest banes India has got.We allowed people to concur us continously.Now being concurred by the corrupt politicians the whole country is going to drains. I am another Indian who has escaped to the US, to make my money and finally during my retired life would pull my easy chair and enjoy the breeze sipping a cup of coffee and reading a news paper reading the same old news.Develpoing Nations coming to gether to sign a treaty.How long are we gonna remain the same?

Now, I know I have no rights to talk about all the growth of the nation,they are some statements that only resposible people must make.Now I am not talking about the nation alone.People in specific.Hit back, if some one hits you,break his bones if he wishes to break yours, Make moves quick enough to escape blows Fight the world that is giving you so many troubles.Never remain silent, because

Only a squeaky wheel gets its greeze-it is quite synonymous to
"azhara kozhandaiku daaaan paaal"-Tamil

Eye sight

Are you God's most beautiful creation
or has he gifted me with a selective eyesight?

Who came to your house?King ? or beggar?

Lets give it a personality.
Opportunity is an emperor.

Opportunity knocks the door many times,

His aura can be noticed only by some wise people. He is actually the emperor.He disguises himself like a popper, to test your mettle and charecter.He would be able to judge your seriousness, by coming without any noise.
The moment he learns that you have no regards for small poeple, he decides you really dont deserve to entertain him.

He could give you another chance, to prove your charecter, but if you still dont understand that it was an opportunity given to you to prove yourself, you stand no chance.You will be englufed by his magnanimity.

I have to confess about many poeple, who are so lazy to go open the door. No body wants to move their limbs to reach out to something that comes to them. We have become so lazy that, we have started saying come in, keeping the door open.

If the Prince himself had given an intimation that he was going to visit our house, we would
stand next to the door awaiting his arrival. The point is how much importance you attach to something, matters. We attach no importance to a popper.We care not, even if he was dying of hunger. or do we?

Now what? Are we gonna sit down on our couches all day and warm them? or are we going to lift our bums and open the door when some one knocks?

Raaga Terrain

When life was looking dull and drab, when it was getting stale, when it was getting boring, when things were looking blurred to me, when every sound seemed like noise to me,Thanks giving was one holiday which gave me all the joy I wanted,I had time to spend with my friends.Best of all was, I spent the whole week listening to music.Its a pleasure to be listening to all my friends sing.We had been to Ohio for Thanksgiving shopping.Antakshari started in the car when we were traveling back.Then the same evening, there was a "music jam" in one of my friend's place. I was also invited.I was previliged to be among some great musicians from Lexington. Each one with some special talent.All of them who was present there participated with great amount of enthusiasm.It was thoroughly an entertainment.We all started at 5 Pm and the session continued till 2:00 am the next morning. It was fun to be listening to all of them sing songs.The first few hours we had a light music session,later it was carnatic. Shubha and Aarthi's performance that evening was remarkable.The Raagam, thaalam and bhavam at its best.With Sujan accompanying the singers made the session a very memorable one. Making no mistakes, proving again that "Practice makes a man perfect". Their aura making the whole space vibrant and reverberating. It was real fun to be a part of the show.I am glad I got an opportunity to be there.

Make your choice, want to be God or Devil?

Do you know it is true?
Just bring in a new born fish(jillo), bring it to your acquarium,and fix a barrier across Jillo's path.For the first few days of the week, he comes hits himself against the barrier and then returns.He comes till the barrier hoping to cross it.Over a period of time, he gets so much used to the distance he has traveled, he never even imagines to travel further.Now remove the barrier, Jillo returns at the place where the barrier was placed before.

Lets talk about an elephant,(bui bui)
A baby elephant is tied to a strong piece of wood with a chain.When he tries to move, he cannot because the chain is too strong for him to break open.Over a period of time, he gets used to it and stays there.Even after he grows, huge, hefty and strong he does not break open the chain.He still feels that the chain is strong for him.His thoughts are conditioned.

Why I took so much time to expatiate this is, to make it clear how thoughts can be conditioned.
So only if you believe, you will perform.

So are we and the society.
The society is like the chain or the barrier across.Every move we make to progress there is some one around you trying to say you are not really good at it, you are bad, you have no option but to struggle,why dont you try that? This is really not your cup of tea.OOOOOOps how many limiting thoughts, have I dumped in this paragraph.
There is some one who says hey, you know what, I tried doing it all the while, I have never been able to do it, so dont bother about trying it.

I always remember to mention Thomas Alva Edison.He is a phenomenon, he has proved to be a genius.His statement lingers in my head, when ever some one says "cannot".When had failed 9999 times in the course of finding an electric bulb, he was asked by the media about what he felt about all his failures, he said"I found 9999 ways,how not to make an electric bulb".This is a clich'e, but still, I don't want to miss an opportunity to put forth this point.

Enzo Ferarri was also told that he was not fit to be a part of automobile industry.I am glad you all know who he is.

McDonalds, Walt Disney, Einstein, Bill Gates, The dabba walas, Sir CV Raman, Adolf Hitler, Mahatma Gandhi, all these people are just a very few I have read about. I am sure, there would be n number of such people in this world, who would have made it to the pinnacle of glory even after being suppressed by the society.

I just want to make one point clear, we are society when we let down some one, and we are phenomenons when we inspire some one.Its all within you and what you want to be is your choice.

Why cant days get better?Isn't there an easy way out??

Woke up in the morning at around 7:30, It was really pleasant.I thought I would get some more sleep because I had slept only at 3:00 am.What a great joy, when you sleep more than what you can afford to. Its heaven.

The wind blowing really hard, the leaves of the trees rumbling to the wind
Mother nature singing me a lullaby
The fragrance of the soil, really sweet
What a nice time to sleep......
The left over work in my lab just too alarming
woke me up,
My dearest friend,Self sympathy said
Nick time for you to sleep, buddy
My enemy, my self, said
time for you to be up and working
Rise and shine
Throwing my blanket away, I woke up with all hatered
No, time to sleep,no time for myself, what am I living for?
What am I achieving, doing all the work?
Remains of my work-just frustration
thinking all this,I picked up my bag and ran along the green lawns spread across my school campus, the grass so lush, the leaves dropping of the trees, just too beautiful,
No time to admire all this?
What do I do?
Oh my god, pls give me some time to admire your creation...
ha ha ha,
I rush into my lab
looking at all the wires, hanging around
I start my day's work...
A cup of Ben n jerry giving me company
I check the mail box, I find I am already behind, my Prof has sent me a mail regarding what he wants....ooooooooooops, I rush, I do all the work, he has asked me to do,first priority.

I have done some work yeaah ,
He comes down and says, I am not in town, till Moday, please do the following...

loads of work, ha ha he he , ho ho
I start with all the courage,
One thing is for sure, I love to work,
so I take it with all positive attitude and start.I am done with half of my work
I just have another half remaining, which I could finish tomorrow.

Now I rethink all that I had thought this morning
I am here just because I deserve to be, I am gonna make it big one day.
That one day,needs a lots of days, like this

I remember one of my teachers saying this
"To achieve something, you need to make some sacrifices"

Music or Mu'sick'????

Define MUSIC,

It is the silence between two consequitive notes.
Concentrate on the gap you will relish music to the fullest extant.

No life is complete without dreams!!!

Long since I wrote a blog.I have been wanting to write one, I claim I had no time...he he he
It is the worst thing to say "I did not have time" because, Albert Einstein also had only 24 hrs a day.Though all those who are reading this blog might laugh at it.You might all say,"Hey Nick, you are not Albert Einstein." I would say, "Its nothing wrong if you imagine yourself to be one."
History has always spoken about those who were prominent and about those who knew how to sell themselves.I am sure there would have been n number of people with the same IQ level as Einstein,( just like me) just kidding.

I have no problem in dreaming big.Many smart people land up in small jobs,earning a regular salary with small annual pay hikes, taking loans for their housing.All those who claim to have topped their class, have not excelled in their careers.I don't claim that, you need not top a class to excel in your work.I am emphasizing on the fact that what makes you more successful is how big you dream to be."Dream, dream and dream till what you dream comes true"-Nick
There is no reason or excuse for failure.My last statement is completely faulty.I have got to correct myself.There is nothing called failure.Everything is just a feedback.You score low in a subject than the required to clear the paper.It gives you a feedback, you will be able to correct yourself by getting to know how much you know.

I repeat this almost every time, we are just like a kite."Even the kite has to overcome the adversities of the wind to fly high."

"Your work might just be a drop in an ocean but the ocean would be less without that drop"-Mother Teressa.

My analogy is very simple.Consider the ocean to be your life.Every step you take to work is a drop in the ocean.Your life would not be complete without that action.

I am really not sure if I have conveyed what I wanted.I am very confident that this blog will give each one of you a different perspective.Will certainly motivate me when I am down.
May be will help at least one of you.

Take care buddies.

When no one smiled, only destiny did!!!!

Smiling all day, I take all that comes my way
Facing every challenge like a warrior, so brave

Confusions galore,
Small and large, like a life consuming tide
Walking in solitude, I introspect
Realisation dawns, that no one really cares
I feel the dissipation of energy
I walk without any crutch, all day long
No one to talk to, no one to share
Lost in my own thoughts, I walk
Stumbled when I trampled on a stone!!!!

I felt I was a "one man army"
Facing a whole batallion all alone
shelling away all that I had, to wage a war against the reality of life
Hoping to win the battle
I started out with a rage
Feeling like a Puissant in the beginning!!!

Time passed by
I realised ,I had paved my path towards final destination
Now I feel, I am a destitute with no choice to make

Death smiled at me
I smiled back!!!!!

How many of us want to commit mistakes???

Mistakes are the best teachers!!!!
Last two weeks was a nightmare. My research work is on force feed back control systems.I have been having fun designing the experimental setup which comprises of some fixtures some angle plates to mount the motors and the pulse generating devices.As far as the mechanical portion of it is concerned I am decent.Since it deals a lot with controls, it involves a lot of circuit diagrams, which I am really bad at.I had it all connected once.By the time I started collecting some results I had to send the whole setup for some evaluation.I relied too much on my memory and thought that I could remember the circuit diagrams without any trouble.It took about three weeks to return.Mean while I was asked to do some paper reviews.I lost track of what I was doing and finally when my boss asked me to obtain those results again using some newly designed components I could not, because I had no idea where those wires were connected before.My memory ditched me completely.I realised how important it is to note down things. It took me about two weeks to figure out things to obtain what I wanted.It drove me crazy. It is the best learning experience I have ever had.I enjoyed it, but it was seriously a waste of time and energy.If only I had noted things down, I could have come up with those results easily.It would have been as easy as a turkey shoot for me.

Now that I have learnt this lesson, I would not commit such a mistake again.....

Suicide....

A demeaning comment from people spoils my day
A compliment from you makes my life......

Disregard emotions

Why would you want something that hinders your progress?
How attached are you towards your goals?

Would you want to jump across all the hurdles that you come across and succeed
How long are you gonna wait and watch for the shuttle to reach you?
You need to move towards the shuttle to send it across the net to beat your oponent
How long are you gonna place the birdie in the oponent's hands?
Give it a different shot,
Guess the oponent's moves and make yours
Life is all about simple calculations
You would always have competition where ever you go
You play your game without any mercy, Kill when the shuttle is high above the net,drible when its close to,dodge the oponent when its time for you to serve, never make mistakes while doing so,Keep your arce moving all over the court, Make it a point you reach every corner of the place you are allowed to play in.Make uss of your strengths and dont divulge your weaknesses.

Life is like a game,Its how much you like the game matters the most.
Play it like soccer if you are good at soccer,
Play it like Cricket if you are good at it

But play it till you succeed...

Never ever play your game with mercy.....
Killing instinct is prerequisite for every game
High degree of commitment and determination is a must for any game

Throw your emotions away when you are playing a game,
Let the oponent be your closest friend, or your loved one, Smash when you have to

Iron is beaten hard to reinforce its strength.....
So are we....
Every failure is like a blow given to strengthen you

Succeed with arrogance.....

Thursday, July 5, 2007

I basked in your aura!!!

I basked in the moon's light when the terrain was filled with darkness
I basked in your smile when my heart was filled with sorrow!!!!

Wednesday, July 4, 2007

Though every one says Beauty is just skin deep!!!

I saw the moon peeping out of the dark sky
May be he was surreptitiously trying to appreciate your pulchritude!!!!

Galloping towards death with great courage

Red paint spilling from the heavens
Musicians playing naatai
a raaga eliciting strength and valour
a tide of soldiers marching with a roar
the chariots rolling down the battle field with an aura
Having crossed the magnanimous oceans and deserts
comes batalions filled with hopes of returning home

The tall and handsome soldiers
trained to be sharp and alert
they face their enemies with all their acumen
galloping towards death with great courage

Enemies clad in black armours
Look like the Satants from the hell
when hove beats fast approach their territory
their hearts beat twice as fast as normal

The clinging of the swords begin
enormous fear creeps within
The warriors heart beating twice as fast
as if a majic spell was cast

Not aware of what for they are battling
their shilhoutes just rattling
batalion after batalion they defeat
Just adhering to the cheermen's drum beat
Galloping towards death with great courage

shanoy starts to play in the empire from where they hail
Loosing their lives for their ceasar along the enemy's trail
Galloping towards death with great courage

The puisant walks along the tracks of the battle field
Seeing all the bloodshed and
realisation dawns
"how invaluable the life of each soldier is?"
"How badly could a small decision affect so many?"

The knights angel struts along the streets of the empire
celebrating the glory of the Puisant's Might
tears of joy roll down her eyes
when she hears the news of his arrival

The life of the soldier's angels , now filled with black paint
it appears to them as if
the thunder storm has just begun
their hearts so heavy just like the readytorain clouds
tears flowing perenially
minds filled with fear
Groping in the dark
they walk holding a misleading stick!!!!

Got knocked up

Surprising how IMDB had rated Knocked up. I see no reason why it was rated 8.5 out of 10. vulgarity to the fullest extent. A movie that suffocated me.A man's life completely revolving around nothing except for a few poor jokes.Why would some one like to watch a movie like this?

Pretty disgutsing to watch, I shuddered when I watched a few scenes.To much of emphasis on sex and Pregnancy."Redunduncy personified movie".Dialogues certainly flawless but audulerating the country's cultural heritage.People who are interested in good films please dont go and waste your 2 hours on a movie like this.

An angel whom I gave a name!!!

God's creation so unique

So perfectly made

Have you seen an angel

Her eyes really soothing

all her gestures just showing care and concern

Her actions only to protect me


She is really magnanimous jus like the lofty mountains

Her kindness vast and spread across like an ocean

Her smile just like the moon's crescent, really comforting

she is the like the clouds showering rain of love

She is as patient as the land, forgiving all the mistake I make and withstanding all the burdens I give her


Her laughter like the chirping of the birds, waking me up with a musical note

Her criticism just strengthening my charecter

Her song so pure and melodious, Just lulls me to sleep

Her lap like the river bed, providing me all the warmth I need to hibernate

I have never heard any one call my name as beautifully as she does

Her yell sounds like the thunder in the dark skies,

She taught me humility

She brought me joy

She gave me all that I needed, love

When it was cold she gave me warmth

She taught me how this world would treat me

She prepared me to face this world

She is the one who gave me all that I needed

She is the one who gave me life

She is the one who gave me birth

She is an angel who never let me down

I gave the angel a name

God's Abrakadabra!!!!

Trust in God was just a concept for me. I believed in work as worship.
I felt he is a super power who creates us with brains so that we decide our destiny and do what we want.
I felt the infinite intelligence was a myth and people brag so much about it.
I never commented because I thought I would believe only if I experience it
I felt that there is no one who can influence me. I thought I am the driving force for what I achieve.

I felt Good when I won , felt bad when I lost. I took it all in the stride.I was eager to experience what i had not.

I was walking in solitude in a beautiful place with rich greenery .It was foggy all over.A midsts the woods, Teak trees tall and lanky, I walked.The water from the water falls splashing on me.The gentle breeze kindled a few questions.
I walked a mile ahead. I found a man chanting.
I asked him why he was chanting, he said he was in search of the infinite intelligence.I wondered.
I walked a few more miles experiencing the weather which was great and pleasant.i found another man meditating i asked him why he was doing so.
He also told me that he was in search of the infinite intelligence.I kept wondering.
I walked a few more miles when i found a man standing upside down on a huge rock.I asked him what he was doing. he said in order to experience the infinite intelligence he has to do tat.It sounded funny.
I walked a few miles again.I saw a catholic. He was praying the Christ. I asked him why he was doing so? He said in order to experience the infinite intelligence and experience God he was praying him.
I walked a few miles when I saw one man who was very happy, smart, bright, glittering with aura, shining with pulchritude, handsome, looked very contended,with a joy of accomplishment in his eyes,who resembled some one I knew. I went closer he was even familiar, I went closer, I was surprised to find myself there.
I asked him what makes him look so great, so happy , so smart, so handsome, so bright, so joyful, so elated, so vibrant.

He said look man, listen, " I have already experienced the ultimate force, the infinite source of joy and happiness. I have been able to reach God."

I asked him how? he said" I was showered with love, affection, compassion, love,"which made him complete.I have experience the infinite Intelligence.
I asked who gave you all that?
That was the end of the dream.....

Finally when I got up I realized what I saw was so true, when I looked into the mirror I looked bright, handsome, smart, contended,and was shining with all the aura.

i realized the reason for all that was you....

I love the crescent on your face....

Stared into the dark sky,
I noticed crescent of the moon,
It struck to me, suddenly
I had seen it some where, before
I realized it was your smile
Living my life only hoping to see your smile again!!!!

The music that brought me glory!!!

Discombobulated I was, with many issues
There was something seriously amiss
When it was time for me to have fun
life was full of pun

Silence and lonliness reigned
The thoughts were so shallow
I was confused

Lost sophistication
stumbled, and fell
in the nature's spell
Silence and lonliness reigned

I locked myself in a cage called hesitation
which gifted me nothing but frustration
Lost in the thoughts so shallow
I was confused

Left in solitude
Only silence accompanied me
Glory and success so far from me
Heard no sound

I walked across some distance
with no ones assistance
Made my moves with intuitions strong
a few minutes seemed really so long

Lost in my shallow thoughts
of what happend in the past
I was confused

I knew I was wrong,
I hated my filthy mind
not letting me be kind
lost in the shallow thoughts
I was confused

I have been going through rigour
that gave me all the vigour
was beaten like an iron
I became strong and insensitive
I know it is wrong
I should not have been so strong

I was used and misused
I was thrown and dumped
for, people knew I wont mind

People dont kick a dead dog
I knew I existed
but was not sure whether I was living

I was confident I would grow
Humble and just that I am
I knew God would lend me his arm
I was so worried and tired

Carried the onus all along
wanted some clarity did not want to prolong'
Seemed like he heard me

Confidence grew upon
Clarity started to dawn
I heard some music far across
I sprinted in that direction

The doppler's effect started to work
I knew I was heading towards Glory
I ran in that direction so eagerly

There was a sepulchre stillness in the breeze
Everything came to cease
I heard a mellifluous tone
It sounded like that of Beathovens' symphony

Confidence reigned
I strutted
I saw an angel come down the heavens
I had never seen her before
I broke up the cage that I was caught in
I knew she was the God's Gift

She was glittering with prosperity
her eyes so sharp
her pulchritude so enchanting
allured by her voice
I walked towards her side
Confidence reigned
Now I had no confusions

I caught hold of her palm
I asked her for help
She said she would be by my side all my life
I was happy and surprised
I never knew I was so worthy

She brought me success and glory
I never fell to the nature's spell

I am still strutting with confidence and clarity
and now when I look back
I find two pairs of foot prints
one is mine and the other is the angel's.

guess what?

For Coffee Lovers

History of coffee
The history of coffee can be traced to at least as early as the 9th century, when it appeared in the highlands of Ethiopia, from which it spread to Egypt and Yemen,[8] and by the fifteenth century had reached Persia, Egypt, Turkey, and northern Africa.

From the Muslim world, coffee spread to Europe, and became popular there during the seventeenth century. The Dutch were the first to import it large-scale into Europe, and eventually smuggled in some seedlings in 1690, defying the Arab prohibition on exporting the plants or unroasted seeds. The Dutch later grew the crop in their colony of Java.[9] In 1538, Leonhard Rauwolf, a German physician, after returning from a ten-year trip to the Near East, gave this description of coffee:[10][citation needed]

A beverage as black as ink, useful against numerous illnesses, particularly those of the stomach. Its consumers take it in the morning, quite frankly, in a porcelain cup that is passed around and from which each one drinks a cupful. It is composed of water and the fruit from a bush called bunnu.

When coffee reached the American colonies, it was initially not as successful as it had been in Europe, as colonists found it a poor substitute for alcohol. However, during the Revolutionary War, the demand for coffee increased so much that dealers had to hoard their scarce supplies and raise prices dramatically; this was partly owing to the reduced availability of tea from British merchants. After the War of 1812, in which Britain had temporarily cut off access to tea imports, the Americans' taste for coffee grew during the early nineteenth century , and high demand during the American Civil War together with the advancements of brewing technology secured the position of coffee as an everyday commodity in the United States. Today coffee is a common beverage of the North American breakfast and morning commute.

Taste is not inherited, it is acquired!!!

I tasted alcohol, it was bitter
I sipped slowly and steadily to experience the taste
Over a period of time I got used to it
I liked the taste,
I liked the feeling,
I got addicted,
It took me to a high
I knew not what I spoke
I knew not what I did
insanity ruled over sanity
I became egoistic
Each time I got drunk,
I disturbed the people around me,
After a period of time realization dawned
I self introspected
I knew not how I lost my integrity,
Prejudice, jealousy, were the traits that I developed, when ever I got drunk.
There was something that was missing in my life
It was nothing but peace!!!

I did not know what I drank


The name of the alcohol was success!!!

honey!!

There are many flowers that blossom during spring.......all that is mundane to me
There is one flower that blossoms every day in my heart
and that is you!!

Saturday, March 31, 2007

Time passed by and the climate changed, that was when I met you!!!

Walked through the woods so thorny and bushy
Ran down in the forest escaping the nature's fury
Taking shelter under the trees and the caves
saving my life from the landslides, I ran

Walked through the woods so thorny and creepy
Ran down in the forest escaping nature's fury
Groping in the dark
with no clutch to hold on to.
When I looked into the sky it was dark and cloudy
Fear crept in so great and lofty
lashing rains burnt my skin
the famine and floods made me weak and thin
scared of death I ran

knew not where I was heading
my heart filled with hope
like I held on to a rope
I ran, in search of light
time passed by, the climate changed
the cold winds froze me
but not my hope
I ran,escaping the nature's fury
The cold breeze cut through my skin
made me hard and arrogant
heart still filled with hope
I ran, in search of light
Time passed by the climate changed
Spring began
the flowers blossomed
the trees looked rich and green
my skin felt a breeze, so soft and soothing
fragrance of flowers wafting in the air
the herbs dancing to the gentle breeze
chirping of the birds so mellifluous
my heart felt great and relieved
confidence grew
the world was so different
the pasture looked greener
my heart felt great and relieved
I wondered why I felt the differences in the climate
I realized that the world looked great and magnificent just because of you

my sweet heart.....

louisville -will to live....

Fun completely depends on the kind of people you are with and not on how great the place is.I am glad that I am part of a wonderful group of people, who are the best when it comes to fun and the most serious when it comes to their duty.They are a few people who have great composure, always on high spirits and who are highly enthusiastic.
Planned a trip to Louisville on a bright and sunny sunday.It was a lot of fun.The best part was the excitement of going to a temple in the United states.I was elated to see a God with different names under the same roof.
The fun actually started after that.Went to a Desi restaurant to hog.We targeted one person for kalai, she is a sweet jeevan...paaavam....
travelled a little while to a place called Ohio river water fall.We had 2 hours of adventure, climbing a trunk which was very slippery.One wrong foot would have hung our lives in limbo.Jeopardizing our lives was kind of fun.....
We drove back home after having a cup of coffee....highly exhausted, with our thoughts back into the work thats due the next day and plans for the next week....
Hope we have the same excitement and ethu all our lives.....

All that glitters is not gold
A diamond does not glitter when extracted!

Every one needs time to hone their skills to shine like the diamond! Judge, not at first meeting!

COLD AND HEAT

What an irony, both exist at the same time.I have been suffering from cold and my body temperature shot up.It is quiet irritating.The previous day was very long and strenuous.I had to get back to my lab in the noon yesterday.The cold lead to watering of eyes, which is really very irksome.The temperature shoot added to body pains and exhaustion.But this noon when I was walking back home, I realised that the weather was really harsh at the same time the sun was shining bright and beautiful giving all of us a ray of hope.
I was thrilled by my perspective.You need to experience both in order to relish and experience the best of both.

I am writing this when I am suffering with cold, so pls dont mind if it does not make sense.

Your "FATE" could get "FATAL"

One debatable topic which strikes to my mind right now is Fate. Some times I get upset about statements people around me make.People say, I worked really hard, I never got the result.I did not get what I wanted, I did not get to where I wanted to be. This again, narrows down to one point.How much did you want to get to that point.How strongly have you felt, "yes, this is the place I want to be in."How many of us have thought about what we want.Observe when we communicate, how many negative words we use, infact many a time, we are intent upon claiming what we dont want.We make it clear to the others what we dont like,what in this world is bad, all negatives that the society has done to us.

Infact I remember, having heard Dr.Abdul kalam say, When we are given 10 minutes for our Nation"We say the Government has not laid the roads properly, The Government does not clean the drains, the Government does not keep the city clean, the Government does not do anything to avoid accidents." What have we done for it?

All of us dream, we dream of what we want to be, they are not called "Goals" as long you write it down is a piece of paper.You know why writing a journal or a diary is a good Habit? The scientists say that there is an uncanny connection between hand and the brain.What ever we jot down, we would remember for a longer time.So when you make yours "Goals" better write down.Your, goals and ideals will be achieved, depending on how emotionally you get attached to your goals.Let work be worship.Bhagawatgita says, "Nishkarma karma" produces the best results, I may not appreciate the saying, because,how would you act without knowing what you want? So you are the soul proprietor of your achievements. Dream big, Imagine big, make it big.
Let this be the policy of life, and certainly one day, we will all be "Big"what we wanted to be. posted by nick @ 4:50 PM 2 comments

I am loving It!
Its been a real long day for me, a day full of activities.I have learnt many new things, I have placed one step ahead in my life.I have put in some effort.I hope to keep up my parents hopes.I am happy, I am having a great time.Its been real long week end.I liked it because it was long, but it was too long, the weekend almost made me lazy, though my energy got rejuvenated, I was apprehensive that I would become lazy. I wasted all the three days, did nothing but watched a few movies.Now the school has reopened, I am glad.I like busy days, I love hardships, I love sweating out, I love activity, I love moving around, Love to think, Love to listen, Love to run, Love to climb, Love to move a step ahead every moment of my life.It gives a feeling of accomplishment, a feeling of satisfaction, a joy that I would not find in a laziness, not a joy that you get when I am on a vacation.I am loving my life, full of work.

You know guys, Every positive statement we make, makes us positive.Every single statement is affirmative, every statements drives into our subconscious mind the idea of life. Every time you reinstate that you love your life, you feel its true, the statement need not be true all the time.Once in a while when we say that with all your energy, we feel better, we feel that we are born with a purpose.Each day we live, has a purpose.May be one breath that we exhale here is being used by one leaf of a tree for its photosynthesis, thus feeding itself,inturn we are also responsible for creating a greener world.Infact there are possibilities for one breath of yours to cause a Tornado some where else.World is filled with energy, so every action leads to a result.
When some involuntary actions can cause some positive changes in the world around you, Can you imagine what kind of effects your positive energy would create, and what kind of positive results your energy could produce?

Love every action you perform, do everything with enthusiasm, act passionately, you will produce extraordinary results.

I am loving my life.

Learn The A,B,C Of Life!!!

This always sounded funny.My aunt keeps saying that every day.She says (A)lways (B)e (C)areful.
Each time she told me I used to laugh it off. Never took it seriously.She used to keep emphasising on this point for various reasons and for different contexts.

Each time I go to college, she says be careful on the roads, please have patience.Its fine if you miss the bus.It is very important to be safe.She has a point here.If you feel you cant miss classes that day, see to it you reach the bus stop early.So please take appropriate steps on time.This would certaily help you grow in life.

Each time I choose to travel by my bike, she cautions me, (A)lways (B)e (C)areful.I laugh it off, I say if I am destined to lose my life I will lose it any where.She said, its important that you are careful.Its the value you give to your life.

I had great regards for my aunt, so I atleast thought about these statements.She kept telling me, be careful when you spend money, spend time on something other than your priority, you need to know your limits.

One day I chose not to listen to her.I said I am going to be as careless as possible.I was actually into a project which was very interesting, so I had to go to different places to get the work done.I took my friend's bike and left.It was a week before my visa interview. I finished my work, was driving back home.I was a lil rash and over took a Bus(pallavan). One guy was crossing the road, which i realised only after I over took the bus.I had to brake other wise I would have banged that pedastrian.I fell right in front of the bus, for the brakes had discs.I was really lucky, the driver was slow.He stopped.

That day I realised how important it was to be careful.So I would say that A B C of life is jus nothing but Always Be Careful.

SO I would emphasise on the same thing boys and girls.

Pride and prejudice?

There are a few things that I love doing.Making a lot of friends, expressing as much as possible.I dont care, you mind or you dont. I like something about you, I would rather tell you straight.I say I like your company if I feel good when I talk to you.I care only if I feel I am going to harm you by anychance.Please understand one thing, gals and boys.To express is not wrong, as long as it is going to be compliments.If you are going to criticise, be cautious.
I love people. I love friends.I love building on networks.In my past there were many people who have avoided me, many people who have taken me for granted.Infact many a time I have felt dejected, I have learnt to live in this beautiful world with such unique treatments.I will still continue loving people and friends.There were times when I went to the extent of going and telling people around me that their company makes me feel great, they have certainly ignored me.Because what happens by expressing is, you become cheap, you are of lesser value to them now that you have eulogsed them.I still will continue expressing, thats an asset God has given me.
One day in life when they are dejected, they might just think of some statement or some praise that they have got from me, which would make them feel great.
So gals and boys, dont feel bad to express.If you express to a gal that she looks good does not mean you are in love with her, if a gal comes and tells a boy , hey you look handsome, does not mean she has a crush on you.
Its jus that they felt like expressing, take it as a compliment, feel good for the moment, keep moving in your life.Please see to it you avoid no one,may be you are avoiding one of the best sofware engineers in the world, one best foot ball player, or some great leader.
You could be missing some one, some ones contact, some ones love, some ones care, some ones friendship, you could be missing some one who would have meant everything to you.
So coming to the point again,say you dont like something, if you are uncomfortable, please dont avoind that person and confuse issues.

I would love, if the world is full of positives, great ideas, and not prejudices and jealousy, and hatered.

Come 'u' negate

This is how the confusion all begins. Suppose you dont communicate properly then you see the result.It makes things really worse if you dont choose to communicate properly.You communicate to express what you feel and not to impress people. After having read a lot of books one of my Gurus, my real father, says , it is very essential to express and make things clear. We should not confuse issues.This blog will help us know the use of positives thoughts and positive siuggestions.

This hot topic of how best you can use your language to communicate what you want to is under serious research.People have gone to the extant of programing the neurons so that proper communication takes place between two people.It is really interesting to note a lot of quarrels and squables start just because of misunderstanding.Why would this occur when the person speaking has no wrong intention at all?no intention to hurt the other?is it because he does not give proper pauses, proper exclaimations?

Now let me put all statements in positives.
You know its very important and vital to communicate properly.You achieve great results by doing so.You have the opportunity to establish good raport.It is a great learning experience.You could make things clear to the other person.Issues could be easily solved.

Look at this and the first paragraph.Do you notice a lot of difference.The first one looks so scary and so negative and feels communication is a bad topic to discuss, where as the previous one makes you feel good about communicating.It rather sounds like a suggestion.

Our subconscience state of mind is always alert and grasps everything given to it.It is like a sponge that absorbs water.So when we give suggestions we have to be careful, when we speak to a child, we must be even more careful, because they do not have any restriction for inputs, only when the child grows, he or she becomes aware of things and choose what kind of inputs they would take.So if any wrong suggestion is given to a child, the thought would linger in his mind and one day thought will be converted into action.

You tell a child, oh my dear boy,dont touch the vessel it will be hot and you will get hurt.You would stay with him to safe gaurd him.One day circumstances prevail and you are forced to leave your son near the vessel, the child would certainly test.He would realise the heat only after experiencing it.Instead give him the same suggestion in a different way,say you could as well lift the vessel and help me after ten minutes.He would certainly wait longer than he did before.

There are so many examples, that can be given to explain, what suggestions could do to the behaviour of any God's creation.I shall write about this even further.

Lets all think positive, emenate positive energy, develope positive attitude,develope a positive environment and therefore help in the growth of a positive world.
