Enjoy..Hav fun!!

Good wishes and good will!!

Why do we keep working on building rapport with our friends and relatives? Sometimes even with those passerby's,strangers next door (/Im a Mumbaikar/), train wale uncle and so on and so forth. Its because their good wishes and good will might save our day from the most miniscule'est of the trouble coming our way. Its because the environment gets influenced (courtesy) or maybe (unimportantly) because it gives us a reason to smile in todays hectic life schedule we follow. At the end of the day, it does help...but mind you,only from the miniscule'est of the troubles because for everything else HE is there!!

As a man thinks

You will be what you will to be;
Let failure find its false content
In that poor word, "environment,"
But spirit scorns it, and is free.

It masters time, it conquers space;
It cows that boastful trickster, Chance,
And bids the tyrant Circumstance
Uncrown, and fill a servant's place.

The human Will, that force unseen,
The offspring of a deathless Soul,
Can hew a way to any goal,
Though walls of granite intervene.

Be not impatient in delay,
But wait as one who understands;
When spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.

This inspirational poem is written by James Allen,thought of sharing it with you all as soon as i read it!!

Just a blink of an eye and I was into school, another blink took me past senior secondary, another 1, past engineering….whoa!! Hold on, too much of nictation; here’s the reality! Come December 19^th and Ill leave for my “FIRST JOB.” Man,this is some realness! It wasn’t on 24^th Feb last year(when my name was included in the recruited candidates list), it wasn’t when I bagged a second job at TechMahindra, it wasn’t when wishes were flowing in from all over: friends, family, relatives, it wasn’t even when final sem results were announced, it wasn’t when I got my railway bookings done; it was yesterday (24/10/09) when talking to my mom while we were strolling around in just another mall nearby that she said, “Ab mera beta bada aur (probably therefore) kamane layak ho gaya hai”,that I realized I am grown up now. Bada to main tha hi aur shayad kamana chahta to kama sakta tha but never knew that this would come one day! Amazed but the feeling of pride has just not sunk in. Proud of the fact that I finally have some family responsibility to carry on my shoulders. Don’t worry, family…Main hoon naa!

On this light, and sticky note ill finish this untimely and weird post! Untimely because theres not much of an responsibility to carry in immediate future and weird because its too personal to be posted online still did it …… Ditch!!

Caution: It is not advisable to conclude that the editor of this blog site is some famous Bollywood actor’s biggest fan and has therefore used of one his famous dialogue from one of his (so-called) blockbusters!!

Ronaldinho10!!

Today after nearly 2 years saw him play against Real Madrid. Since leaving for Milan, at the beginning of last season, I had almost stopped following FCB for some time until my friend told me about the overwhelming success at Nou Camp, all owing to one man Pep Gaurdiola. Never had heard of him till that day. Then slowly began following the extraordinary show both home and away! Got so engrossed in the proceedings at NC, almost neglected one of my favourite players who actually brought my attention to Barca. Well, for all non-football-following readers, I am talking about Ronaldo de Assis Moreira popularly known as Ronaldinho or Ronnie.

It was a treat to watch him play and as a proud Ronnie fan I can say that it still is. His deft touches, last minute shifting gears, dribbling style, intensity on his face before a free kick, runs from the far left corner of the field into the box, impeccable passes, an inspirational figure for both the teams on the field, same long curly hair, and to top it all that “UGLY” smile after fooling a couple of mid-field players n defenders can still be witnessed. Its pleasure to see all this in todays world of football. Not many can emulate this Great, Immortal… Long live Ronaldinho n May his football career never ends!!

Music

Music defines human being. Quintessential for a few, passion for some and life for many. Music has the ability to connect to two different souls. It is a passage which leads one to infinity. Shows that it is very close, and yet too far! It has the power to sympathize with the lonely child, celebrate with the birthbay boy, express joy of success, mould anticipation into surprise, turn that fear of being rejected into getting angry on the unthinkable, turns love to hate, holds up so n so phobia till the last minute when a single chord can convert it to so n so philia, excites you at 1 and calms down the very next moment. It has to be the same music that has brought,this ugly yet melodious world together! Not very often will we see a westner singing on the tunes of an Indian song, infact going that extra step to release a video with a so-called Indian outfit! With music nothing is impossible…rightly says so Mr. Adidas!

Why?

Why is it that the failure of past looms large in the present when the success in near future is waiting right there, why are Mom Dad so worried about me settling down, why have I lost confidence in myself, why have I left things the way they are, why is it that I am least interested about my body, why have I sulked into obliqueness, why is there a feeling of incompleteness within me, why do people say I am not behaving normally, why do I think so much, why do I have to crib about a few things, why dont I take things in my stride, why do I feel trapped in between nowhere, why are days passing without being lived, why have I left everything on Him -- Hav I really left everything on him! Dont I breathe in n breathe out daily! Am I not preparing myself for the war that lies ahead! Palmistry is the answer,isn’t it! Shouldn’t I take my friends seriously! Functioning of brain is important, don’t u think so! Everyone is entitled to opine their thoughts,who will stop them! Complete signifies end,is end so near! Parallelism n Perpendicularity results in stress,isn’t that true! Mustnt I be more active! Some things are best left unsaid, unsanctified, unscathed, shouldn’t it! Isnt this the time to take authority, prove potency! Am I not settled with a job(yet to sign the dotted line) and willingness to pursue management! Past is best known for its hovering predominance over present leading to a unsealed, unsure BUT a BRIGHT FUTURE because this day reckons in me a new faith and belief of me,myself and ….haha!! On that light note thanks for bearing my galaxy full of emotions,without troubling you much,this is your own altruist…Signing off!!

Things to do in 2 minutes!

Well, I met my good old schoolday’s friends-fun lovers, enthusiasts n at times foodie’s(atleast a few) yeaterday. What makes me come back to this blog is this amazing time frame of 2 minutes that has so much of a potential,which I realized only after yesterdays gettogether at my favourite/better/chaddi -buddy friends place.(P.S.- Favourite because I love pulling his legs with the much needed support by a few). Here’s a list of things u can do in 2-mintutes.

1. First thing that comes to every school-going kid/collegiate is the popular 2-minute Maggi, open,cook n eat!
2. Departure time difference between 2 local trains during peak hours at CST/Churchgate in Mumbai
3. To take my car from 0-100kmph…I own a 1999 make- Maruti-800!
4. Doodle
5. Click your own pic.
6. Send a 160-character long message to a friend whom you dont expect to reply because we are talking about things to do in 2 minutes only...lets not waste too much time chatting!!
7. Think about your 'to do' list for the day.
8. Day dream...before you start dont forget to put on the timer!
9. Sign arbitly. (10 times would easily consume 2 minutes)
10. Doodle some more.
11. Sing a 2-minute song
12. Prepare a 2-minute speech when u win your 1,2,3,... award from so-and-so.
13. Score a goal from halfline...allowed only for last 2 minutes in rink football (Rules may vary)
14. Take a deep breath in,breathe out and analyze.
15. Feel guilty that you're wasting two minutes.
16. Panic that your two minutes are almost over.
17. Well, my bestest of friend doesn’t think so. He has come up with something exciting, jaw-dropping stuff…He says ”Just do it, in 2 minutes. Yess, In 2 minutes!!"..Man he has got something in him!! Hats off!! [P.S. Mayb he is inspired by Nike....sorry for tht...ROFL]

I could have done one of the above but did nothin...wasted a few more 2-minutes of my life...Damn!!

With this note,ill take a break…just cant stop laughing…and plan to come up with something less exciting than my friend, the next time I write something on web!
