Only you

Millions of ships, out there sailing in an ocean, But each one has to stand alone at its mission. Somehow it has to happen in a particular way, However its not always as you say. You see, you think, you care, You act, and still you suffer while you fight. -Dude, Just do it. I know you can. and stop bothering about too many things.....Its you, only you.

Chennai Trip

It has been almost two weeks I wanted to write about my Chennai Trip. Not that it was great or something but just wanted to write. It was actually a Business trip, so as usual was communicated to me on 11th hour. Unwillingly I agreed to go by bus (Bangalore-Chennai). If it is long journey and if it is a bus in my case it will always be 'unwillingly'. Journey started at 11 PM from Bangalore, reached Chennai around 5:30, as expected all Auto people jumped seeing prospect customer. not meeting their expectations I walked for a while and stopped one auto and told him the address. Not told actually mumbled because I couldn't pronounce the word even after practicing it at least 20 times. It was 'Nungumbakkam'. Many people told me that in Chennai, language' will be a barrier...true. I had a tough time communicating guest-house care taker/Auto drivers. My meeting was scheduled at 11 AM, When I was about to leave care taker came and started talking, he talked almost for ...

Bollywood Effect

Some lines that bollywood has gifted are so catchy. Like "Main kahan hoon?" , "Kutte kamine main tera khoon pi jaunga", "Mai tumhare bina nahin jee sakta/sakti" , "Jug Jug jiyo beta/beti " (ye 'jug jug' kya hai I still dont know. I know only trainwala 'Zug Zug' ), Kanoon ke haath lambe hote hai, tum isse kabhi bach nahi paoge...." etc etc. However boring, repetitive, meaningless these lines are I still like some. *I still enjoy Sunny Deols dialogues from 'Damini' and Amitabh Bachchans many lines from many movies. I enjoy even more when these reel lines are used in real; what a marvellous effect they have! Some similar spontaneity relating to such usage... Today I was cleaning my house (Yeah I do it once in a while) , and wanted to remove window curtains. Then somehow I couldn't. However its not because my hands did not reach, its just those curtain hangers are hanging way too high. Apparently same time my friend c...

Seasons

Summer, Monsoon, winter these are the seasons at least I am familiar with. (They say in polar regions Spring and Autumn are different from Summer and Winter.....like anybody would believe that) Do a persons life have seasons? yes I guess it does. I am not sure about the seasons in other peoples life, but mine are quiet random and these days are going wild too ;) My seasons vary in terms of duration they last for, frequency at which they occur. These days I am also experiencing cross-seasons(Mix of two). Popular seasons are Food, Movie, Sleeping, Fighting etc. In each of these season single priority task is to execute The Theme . Like in food season eating lots of food, no matter what I eat how much I eat I never get full. In a Movie season watching movies like anything, seen/unseen. In sleeping season sleeping like never slept in a whole life and in a fighting season fight with whoever comes along on the first thing that comes to mind and this way all seasons continue. Currently Movie ...

Shine on...Shine on...

Be days are dusky, days are gloomy You always be shiny... Be nights are dark, nights are tight Keep shining bright... When black clouds surround... Try to frighten you around... Remember one thing, every cloud has a silver lining and any storm wont stop you from shining Remember every little cry, you turned into a joy Less or more stress, you turned into a success This is not the time to think of sea rover , my dear you are just ready to take over Don't think of how things are coming along you just keep moving on and on No matter switch off or on you shine on...shine on...

Team Outing

Friday for me is always a fun day, that way most of the days are. Right from the school days Friday was most awaited day of the week, mainly because of the next half day of school and some TV programs. As such no reason is required for me to be happy about any Friday; but there was for the last Friday. I was pretty much excited to go for ‘Leadership and Team Building’ program organized by my company. Place was ‘Parkfield Resotel’ in Hoskote around 40 KMs from Bangalore city. Parkfield is a resort cum hotel with a five star rating, exotically spread across 35 acres. It was decided to start around 6:30 AM for the place, giving me a glorious opportunity to see sunrise after many years. Opportunity given was successful; we reached around 8 in the morning. Had a grand breakfast and then moved to see trainer who had taken up task of building our team. And here we met ‘Cheerful Chieny’, ‘Sweet Shreenidhi’, ‘Peaceful Praveen’ and ‘Regal Regan’ from Oscar Murphy International popularly known as...

Marriage Ceremony attended in Coorg

Happen to attend my 'friends' wedding on 23rd Jan in Coorg. One of the Joyful, musical, funfilled marriage I have attended. Actually this is the 3rd marriage ceremony I have ever attended. First two being my 'Uncles' and 'Cousin sisters'. Even those were awesome. The marriage attended in Coorg is memorable for many things. I had expected it to be different as the first two marriages I have seen are of Maharashtrian style. Dint thought it will be DISTINCT. The ceremony was in Madikeri, beautiful place. We reached there early morning to attend the ceremony. Ceremony started around 10 AM and went on till 10 PM, still I dint get to know when did actual wedding rituals happened :) This is how it went....... When groom and family came, Bride and family greeted them by performing a ritual called 'Baale Birud'. This is performed by cutting plantain stumps of the tree driven into the ground (no of stumps are always multiple of 3) which symbolizes ‘Bali’, elder on...
