The Monk who sold his Ferrari

Heard this is a very nice book... So when i went to my library i just borrowed the book and started to read it with great enthusisam.... But as i proceeded through the pages i dont know what happened to me I was not able to proceed any further... My mind does not agree with reading it any further... I have totally lost the enthusiam in reading that book... I dont know why??? Mebbe 'coz the time has not come for me to read the book... or mebbe my mind is not all that matured to take these ideas or appreciate its value ?????

But still there is 1 question that lies in my mind.... When you read these things and try implementing them in our lives dont we lose our individuality?????? We wont be ourselves... I accept that these ideas explained in these books bring all nice effects into our lives but still????? We can try to change ourselves better by implementing few things which badly needs to be changed in us...

When we read the book we feel like "Yes we have to follow all this in our day to day life.. From today onwards i will implement all this in my life" But we do that for a few days but dont follow it all through our lives there after... How many people live like that after reading the book????? A handfull mebbe... And mebbe there lies the challengs which differentiates peoples' will power.....

Anyway as long as the book does something nice its worth reading any book....

Misinterpretation can take place at any time any where...

Yesterday was talking to my father and he misinterpreted what i said... When people can misunderstand what we talk to them directly why will not there be a misinterpretation when we communicate through mails or so... There are various aspects that goes into an effective communication... The situation in which we talk, the tone , and various other things...

How many times my freind and myself have ended up in a fight due to this misunderstanding... (Of course those fights dont last for more than a minute... BUt still...) I feel it is always better to tell things that are really personal, directly or in unavoidable situation atleast over the phone... NOw i feel maybe we could have avoided all those unwanted fights of we were talking directly in person....:-) Anyways everything is a lesson....

Reason...

LOVE ME FOR A REASON..... LET THE REASON BE LOVE.....

A new Me!!!!

All geared up!!!

This year its going to be my parent's 25th wedding anniversary... And i have planned to celebrate it big...This is the first function i'm heading... So all the preperations are going on... The fever has started by shopping for my mom and also a few things for the house last saturday and on Sunday everything in my house was rearranged... My GOd what lot of work we had to do... So much of man work was to be put in.. Not an easy joke to maintain the house....

Next week we will have to start with somethign else and finish all arrangements in the coming 2 weeks....

I pray everything goes well....

Signs of life....

Everyday there are a lot of signs that life keeps showing us.... But its we who dont interpret them and act accordingly.... But if we do then the thrill of life is lost... Everything will seem to be perfect and there would be no meaning for happiness... We realise and feel happiness only when we know what a failure is ... what sorrow is.... Life gifts both happiness and sorrow... By chance when we interpret the signs properly without actually knowing them thats what we call luck and there is happiness and when we interpret them wrong and when failures occur then we are sad.... But still leaving the natures law how to interpret the signs which will avoid some very sad happenings which is gonna be there within us till the end in the corner of our heart... Why do things which are not going to last forever happen at all in the first place?????? Does it happen to teach us a lesson that we dont do it again???? or is it because its destined that it should happen????? Life is generous to give us so many signs everyday its we who have to interpret them correctly and be happy... Mebbe we learn to interpret them as we grow older..... Is it because of this that we say " We learn from our experience".....?????

Deeper than the Ocean....

We all know that the ocean is very deep and deeper than that can be a humans mind..soul..whatever.... Even if we have to find the depth fo the ocean we can find it out though there are lots of constraints but still its not impossible.... But finding out how deep a mna thinks is something next to impossible.... We might seem to be thinking of something but deep inside we might be thinking of something else.. mebbe it is somehting we wish for or mebbe we are missing somebody... it can be anything.... Its seems to be a very very deep abyss... and at the bottom of it ( we dont know how deep) we have something hidden which might be very special to us and nobody other than us knows about it.... There lies a lot of secrets within all of us... As long as they are not harmful to others as well as us its ok....

Now isnt it true that a human mind is much more deeper than the ocean...

As i'm writing this i remember a shayari ...

Sagar se bhi geheri hai thanhayian...
Raat se bhi kaali humke parchaayian...
doonduthey hum thume koi na jaane de..
tum kahan...... tum kahan......
tum ho kahan....

Ride on the bike...

It was Saturday morning and I had planned to go my previous employer to collect my papers... The actual plan was to go with my friend but as he was busy couldnt make up... So he was to be substituted by my brother (younger) which indeed turned out to be my best outing in my life.... So we had planned to go by train... Then my bro suggested to go by bike...

I screamed BIKE?????? Are you crazy????? For i was not very sure how our trip will be 'coz i ( infact both of us ) have never gone out in the bike so far....

Then my father supported him saying "If not now then when??? " I told him that we did not the routes either.... ( for i alwasy travelled by train )...Then he sat down drawing the routes...

FInally we were all set to go... And we left home in the bike.... We followed the map my father had drawn... It was my responsibility to tell my bro when to turn and how to go using the map... What an adventure..???????

Then we reached the place without much difficulty... As i knew few places in and around my ex- office we went around and finally landed up in my aunts house near by... Had lunch there and it was fun spending the time there with my cousins.. We spent the whole afternoon making fun of each other.... The clock struck 5 and it was time for us to leave....

We had made more than 100 kms by bike when we finally landed up home.....

We hit the bed soon as we were soooo tired....

And the Saturday came to an end......

I move on....

Men may come and men may go but i move on forever......
- Alfred Lord Tennyson
This is one of my favourite lines... Many people come into our lives at different point of times... Some come into for a smaller duartion of time and some for ever... They teach us so many things.. and we also learn so many untold things... We learn to cherish the value of relationships....

Some of them create such an impact that they cannot be forgotten all through our life irrespective of the duration they stay with us.... They live in our memories.... For some reason or the other there arises a situation where they have to move away physically or mentally.... it creates a sadness throughout... But that should not hold us back....We should be able to come over that emotional bondage... Men may come and men may go but we have to move on...

Easy to preach but is it possible????????? Mebbe time will heal......

A beautiful sunset....

This food court was the one where i go by default when i was in Mysore... I experienced many beautiful moments here which i would cherish throughtout my life... Many incidents which will make me laugh to death.... The fruit juice shop which i would visit everyday without fail to order a pista icecream shake... or a chiku milk shake... The DJ nights which we had here... I still cant forget the masala dosa.. plain dosa.. kara bath.. biriyani... and ofcourse the golkonda food and maggi noodles from sukh sagar....:-) My God looks like a menu board now.....[:p]

Thanks to the one who had taken this picture, for i would be reminded of all the moments i spent here whenever i see this picture..... :-)

Thanks dude!!!!!!

Medical camps in my office...

I really envy doctors... and all those who are pursuing their studies and are the future docs... It was my dream proffession ....which would remain to be a dream through out my life....

Today i had attened a Bone density check up camp followed by which i attened a seminar on Osteoporosis and then on Cancer..... It was really an eye opener.... The seminar threw light on many dark areas... It is a very nice initiatives by the HR of my company to conduct such programmes where the software engg hardly have time out of their schedules for such things....

What a noble and a life saving proffession????? Hats off to them......

You get what you are destined for....

Off late this is the idea that prevails in my mind... And there were so many incidents which i experienced which reflects the same idea...

Last Saturday i had gone to my aunts house... My cousin, my mom and myself planned to go for shopping... ANd we had gone into so many shops to buy some dress material and i did not like any... Then finally we gave up the idea of buying the dress material and postponed the idea to next month but all of a sudden we went to a small marwari shop where i liked 3 sets of the same kind so i had to choose 1 among the three.... a beige colour, a bottle green one and a brown one... Meanwhile my aunt also joined us.. After a big struggle finalised on the beige color...paid the shop keeper and all the four marched towards the tailor's shop... which was just 5 shops away...

As i crossed the third shop saw that even that marwari had some nice collection and so went in... And liked a beige color material, and a purple and pink comniation material... As i had a beige material already i hesitated to buy this one... But it was so pretty that i did not want to leave it behind... So i went back to the first shop and told him that i'll take the bottle green one for which he accepted too.... So i bought the beige and the purple one in the second shop...

And now my cousin liked it and she said she will take the beige coloured dress from the first shop and she bought it too.. And she said "It was destined to be mine ..:-)"

Though i liked it, i decided to buy it then finally bought it and left the shop... it was not to be mine and thoguh i left the green one behind it was destined to be mine and it came back to me.... So you get what you are destined to... No matter you leave it behind it will come to you..... :-)
