Comeback

Loads of things happened! good and bad and have sapped me.

** For starters the new job has eaten up third of my life in the past six months. Disgusting!!
** Found a new companion in Sony K800i

Its a great phone, so all you pod enthusiasts watch out. This phone rocks your world with new xenon flash and 3.2 MP camera. One can post the images to one's blog instantly. It is GPRS enabled so, one could load navigation software onto it.

If that cannot keep you busy check the MP3 player utility that has ability to collate songs with artists, make playlists etc etc. Wonder I am having time to write all this. Lemme go back and check out some new features.


For fun, here are some pictures take from sony ericsson K800i.

Hindi movies

Must have seen an awful lot of hindi movies in last few days then I have seen in entire year or two. That is something. I must admit they are not all good, but have the effect that leaves me writing about them.
Some points about hindi movies:

a) never watch them alone esp. if you are an indian. That's coz the whole point is to enjoy and have fun, which you can have only in the company of ur friends. Watching a film alone is the most sad thing ever that can happen to you.
b) forget them ASAP. Too far from reality barring a few.
c) fast forward most of the songs! Most of the times they have got no connection with what is going on in the movie. Besides songs are not going to teach you anything. In the 21st century it is a really slow medium of communication. Could be effective though!
d) if it is a comic movie (esp. of david dhawan genre) , put ur brain aside and have a good time.

Last but not the least, bollywood is doing not too bad job. If they stop copying the script from their hollywood counterparts and start producing things more relevant to the societal context I would be a more happy person.

I tried so hard but in the end >>>...

Ever wondered why things go astray! Its because they were meant to go 'that' way and probably for a very good reason. Classical astrology, and an excuse from a lazy person who chooses facility rather than difficult way.
I am not going to dig dep into astrology or its importance, but I am going to talk about lessons one can learn from life experiences.
When the going gets tough the tough gets going. Take some bit of risk in life and wait patiently for rewards. If things don't go your way then probably there's something better in store for you. The idea is not to let yourself loose sight of the end goal.

There are times when you will have to make decisions and accept total responsibility of consequences.

Today was that day. Decsion has been made however conseqences still awaited. The only solace when things go awry is - 'to err is human'. Hope I don;t fall into that cliche today.

Career moves

So what's the big deal. Probabaly nothing before you move and after you have made the move, however it is the transition which really saps you out.
Selection has never been an easy step esp if one is confronted with lot of choices. I was reading a few days ago, what if we are bestowed with the ability to accurately see ourselves far ahead in the future. Would the decision making become easier. Probably no, in fact it would be difficult. In fact one of the best feelings ever I have experienced is when I let myself loose. There has to be something in this ancient yogic gesture of meditation. The experience of being an integral part of nature around you and letting it take the intended course is a great feeling.

Coming back to the point I was making about moving on in one's career, there is nothing such as wrong and right move. The only thing that should be right is the decision to move on. If that is for the right reason, then let yourself loose and enjoy the present. You can always shape the future wherever you go.
I am moving on to a new job, and believe me the reason is good enough. Okey! I am going to let myself loose here.

Life!

When you are awake at 3:45 in the morning and not feeling sleepy there are only a few things that could cause that! Either you are just out of a long relationship, or you are looking into the very cause of your existence!

Here's bouncing some ideas on life

Life is a random event, death is a certainity
Life is full of questions, often scary
Life has different meaning to different people, therefore look into life from other's view point and you will find some asnwers

and the mother of all concept
Life is to give life, teach and preach.

Ah well, enough of teaching and preaching ! I am signing off! bon nui

The first dive!

All things big or small have a humble beginning. So here I am trying to embark on a journey that I do not know at this stage what course it is going to take.
I will start with a few interesting quotes : the latin phrase "cogito ergo sum" meaning " I think therefore I exist". I would say "I think therefore I am what I am" and rightly so, aren't we sum total of our experiencs... Here is a humble attempt to add spice to my experiences, and make them an immortal appetite full of humour, remorse, laughter and fun! Oops did i just said remorse! heaven's sake "its human to err.."
