Don’t Abandon Your Dream

There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th level. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb the stairs home.

After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on. When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.

They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at long last. Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door.

And they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the 20th floor

This story is reflecting on our life…many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under so much pressure and stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decided to dump this load.

Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream ambitious wishes.

But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live life as a misery as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining anymore, and we began to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.

We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream …… a dream we abandoned 60 years ago.

So what is your dream? Follow your dreams, so that you will not live with regrets.

Procrastinating

One thing I learned in life is not to procrastinate, atleast in living life and being happy. There were several instances, I have thought I will be happy after I get something. In school, I thought I will enjoy once I go to college. In college, I thought I will enjoy once I start my job. Now I am at work but I have different needs. Agreed, we need to have the next-thing in life and have to be worked upon to reach them. But not at the cost of the present. This procrastination ends nowhere. So guys, its now or it will be never.

Moron Terror

Kafeel, Sabeel seen as jokers than terrorists in UK...
These were very amateurish attacks. People did not plan it very well, the device was unstable, drivers according to eye witnesses erratic in their behavior. It was very, very strange. It seems to suggest that these were apparently were just self-starters, inspired by what they saw on TV..

This is what is Moron Terror.

One thing I dont want to do in my life...

Is to make it complicated. But god doesnt want me to find solutions for easier problems. He always give me problems which are complicated, complex and certain times np-complete ones. Infact its good. Thats the way I learn things out. I dont know whether I will be in such a complicated situation in my life as I am now. This is the worst I can go I guess. I am jobless from day after tomorrow. You heard me. I am an unemployed youth from 30th DEC. And I cant go and apply for interviews unless and otherwise I get my visa thing cleared. To make it even worse my consultant informed that the paper work can drag to feb. Its really great. I love my life. :-)

Anyways all of you out there, Wish you all a very happy uncomplicated new year. Have fun and party hard.

Radio / Mp3 player

I have a mp3 player with a decent capacity and I have got all my favorite songs in that. But still I think I like listening to the radio much more. I had always wondered why. If I can always listen to whatever song I like, using my mp3 player then why do I like this radio thing more. I think this is what is the reason : CHOICE.

yeah.. This is yet another proof for my previous post "The problem is choice.". When I listen to my radio, I just listen and it plays gud music most of the time. I dont have the choice to change. It will just play on and I can concentrate on my work.

Woh Lamhe...

This post is all about my nostalgia. The things I would always remember in my life.

Days of mine, when I used to stay all alone in the house and would have to make my own coffee at the age of 10.

Days of mine, when I will be so sad that diwali is over, all crackers are done and I wud have to get back to skool the next day.

Days of mine, when I would prefer watch black & white TV at the neighbourhood house rather than watching a color TV at my house. This neighbour of mine needs a special mention here without whom I dont know how I would have managed myself at that age. I think I spent more time in their place than my home itself.

Days of mine, when I take commission for buying small household stuff and spend all those money for renting out bi-cycles.

Days of mine, When I spend all my vacation in paramakudi with my cousins and I miss my aunt so much when I go back to chennai.

Days of mine when I play the game of trade the entire day with my neighbourhood kids. Trust me. I was mad at this game and would even bunk school to play this game all alone. I play both the bank and the opponent. And Most of the time the bank would lend money from me at last. Heee heeee

The day I lost my maths note book and was crying in the school premises and there was this maths teacher who treated me like her son and helped me with the subject in the entire year.

Days of mine when I play cricket all the afternoons with my school friends. We broke so many car glasses and nearby house windows.

Days of mine, when I used to play video games munching out the sweets, my mom do.

The day when I got my 10th results and have come school first in maths. Quite a achievement dude. I dont know whether its really me then. I have changed so much now.

Days of mine I used to roam around with this guy all throughout chennai in his kinetic bike. Bloody I cudnt believe he avoided (I wud even say ditched) me for a gal. Ya. Fine. After all needs change with time. God bless you dude.

Days of mine when I was preparing for the engineering entrance examination and had my official first crush on this gal in dat class. It really was a gud feeling, even though it luks so unmatured at present. But ya thats wat is life. Past always looks immature.

The day, the results of the engineering entrance examination came and I was the second topper in the school.

The IIIT, Bangalore days of mine where we did our internship and bloody I will never forget this co-intern Mr. V who gave us a hectic time with his much of J2EE knowledge.

The college days of mine especially the final year, where I think I had less things to think about than now.

The TCS training days of mine. I dont know what I like in here. I liked that place so much, that I actually went to trivandrum some time back, just to see the place.

The initial bangalore days of mine, when we 7 friends were sharing a single flat. Damn, dat was so much of fun.

The days of mine, when I bunk office hours to meet my ex-gal friend and the hours of mine when I wud rush home, just to talk with her on fone.

The day when a gal from orkut said that "I am interesting". Trust me I really got a heart attack that day. LOL

and obviously Today, when I write this post and just run through my entire life for the last 20 odd years.

Afterall, My Life was fair. What do u think?

Relationship

Quite a good example on relationship search:

There was a gurukul and the guru was taking a lesson for the day. Suddenly the guru called a student and said "Son, Go to the nearby garden, from one end to other. You will find a lot of coconut trees. Find the tallest coconut tree in the garden and let me know. But you should not turn back the way you came in, to get back to an earlier coconut tree. Once when you believe that, it is the tallest tree then you can come and inform me". As said the student went from one end to other of the garden to find out the tallest tree. As and when he finds a tall coconut tree, he thought why dont we try more and see if I find any other tree taller than this. On and on the student reached the end of the garden finally to end up with nothing. He returned to the guru and said I lost all the tall trees I had seen in the midway since I thought of trying out more.

Now, again the guru asked the student to do the same exercise with the same rules. This time the student (with prior experience), on spotting a tall tree didnt even want to take another chance, but quickly came to the guru and said he did find one in the middle of the garden.

Then the guru explained said "Son. The first time you had gone for a search for the tallest coconut tree can be compared to Search for love and the second was your Search for marriage".
