MAN VS WILD

Gone are the days when kids lived a life of real luxury and pleasure, and when I mean luxury it is not the virtual luxury you get through money in today’s world,  It is the sheer joy I, as a kid got from little things that made up my world during those days. Getting up each day to the sound of temple bells and bhajjan’s around your house or to a cock’s crow. Hesitantly getting ready to school, your mom helping you with the lunch, your granny feeding you breakfast, your uncle and aunt who also lived with you getting you dressed up, and there we go off to school by walk with your granddad. Along the way to school getting to talk with your grand-dad about umpteen number of things happening in your life. Later in the evening getting back home with your granddad this time getting a stick ice or mango and munching it all the way. Back in home the same set of people waiting to greet you not just with open hands but, with an open heart. I think I was one of those luckiest kids on this planet who grew up not just with money but, with people around. Pity the kid’s in today’s world who are growing up a machine’s life.

The very day a kid celebrates its first birthday we put them in a creche or rather get them admitted I would say. The kid apparently learns obedience, ethics and dining etiquette at the age of one when all that a kid has to learn is true love, love for mankind rather than love for toys and play stations. If we feel that humanity is lost in the world, people are turning wild killing each other, the reason is we don’t teach our kids humanity when they have to learn it. Apparently what you sow you reap. When at the age of one you sow jealousy into their brain how can you expect to reap love and humanity from them at the age of twenty. 

"It is what you do in the present that will redeem your past and thereby change the future-paulo coelho"

So let the present be filled with pure love thereby you expect true humanity in future.

STANDSTILLL

Everybody has a phase in their life when they feel a standstill. It is that part during which everything seems to be happening against your wish or will however you put it. It could probably be the transition stage, a transition from being an Adolescent to a grown up, or from being young to becoming old, It could be a transition from illiterate to a literate, poor to rich, or rich to poor. From all the above examples only the last one has a backward reaction everything else is only change from worse to better or better to best. From all these transitions you always lose certain things or gain certain things, don’t keep whining about the things you lost, instead rejoice in the things you gained.

One day we feel we have everything in life because of some petty thing, and the very next day we feel end of life when we lose that same petty thing. This happens because we as humans always place importance for other lives or things rather than our own life, by this I don’t mean to say, be an egoist or a self-centered person, but live your life for your sake and not for others. You can sacrifice certain things for others but not your life.

Another reason for feeling a standstill is when we don’t get what we want or when people don’t realize who we are; by this I mean when your talent is put down or not noticed when it has to be. If people don’t realize your talents you are not the one to worry, and you are not losing anything, it is they who are losing a talented person so keep moving in life till you find the right place where you are appreciated.

Never ever change yourself for others, always be yourself because if you start changing yourself for others you have to keep doing it so often, people and relationships are dynamic in your life the only thing which is static is you and your life.

I think when we realize all the above in our life, we will never feel a stand-still phase.

BACHIS AND SPINS

“Mujhe dhoste karo” was the first thing I asked this person in my first chat, and I got an immediate reply “nahi karoongi”. The very next question I asked was “mujhe shaadi kareka” , very less did I know at that time that this person would mean so much in my life. Well this is not my love story, and the person is neither a guy, it’s one of my best buddy named annnnni. This is the name I gave her!! Well now don’t mistake me for asking such a question to a girl that was an attempt to learn Hindi and it all went in vain as usual. I have known her for the past four months now and not once did I find one flaw in her such a perfect human being, so difficult to find one like her. Very poised, at the same time energetic. Well, it was my hindi tutor harini who introduced me to her and I’m thankful to her as well, If not Hindi I at least got my annnni!!!. It is not just her this blog Is about twelve different people who have changed my life in this very short span of time of four months. If I was dumb enough to become the CR of my class on the first day, there was another person as dumb as me to become the male CR Gokul or the "Puli". If there was one person who made me realize the person in me, it was him. Now I don’t regret being the CR anymore I got him as my friend, and not just friend my eternal friend he is. My audacious pharos introduced me to yet another person Bobby alias maya alias motta!!! Well his name is prashant iyappan. I could just write pages and pages about this person, but in short he is someone who could make me cry as well as laugh at the same time!!!. Iti, and ankhur my bhabbi and bhaiyya from north, are my northy friends who have been with me from the very first day and been a part and parcel of all my happiness and sorrows. Two brothers who I’m sure will be there for me when I want yes, punch as I call him, punch prakash and raja anna, I’m happy that they accepted me as their sister. Last but not the least four other girls from the same college, little did I know about each of them back in college, divya who was with me right from the induction training, aruna, lincy and vadivambiga . They are girls who can make revolution in history of wipro, very capable of changing a “LAKE INTO A SWIMMING POOL”. Together we all named ourselves as  ’BACHIS & SPINS’ . There are so many memories running in my head when I write this blog, and so much tears running down my eyes at the same time, but at this point all I can do is thank god for introducing me to them, and I beg him to keep them as a part of my life till my last breathe.

AN UN-ANSWERED QUESTION!!!

When I sit back to write my blog today, I put forward one Single question to myself, to all those who are going to read this blog, and to the god who is watching all of us at this moment, as far as I am concerned I believe that all of us were created by the same god, be it men or women we all have the same life, this being the case why do all of us see men and women as two different species, why is there a distinction shown between creatures created by the same god?

Right from the time this world was created women are considered to be an inferior creations of god, even at the time of “Adam and Eve”, Eve was blamed for a mistake which was apparently committed by both Adam and Eve. Even in Hindu mythology be it paanjali, or Sita, or name any female goddess there was always a controversy, and their lives were always depicted as lesser half of men.

Right from the days when  we had all Industrial revolutions taking place in this world till today were technological revolutions are taking place there is one thing which has never seen any revolution,

“The revolution’s in the life of women”. Over the years though women have taken up different roles in lives,

From being a mere house robot to ruling the nation, from being a kitchen-crate to a techno-crate, apparently only her roles have changed but not her life.

Though there are so many women's welfare associations, NGO’s working for the betterment of women,

 so many associations helping in protecting women, so many reservations for women in Government, but first of all why is there a difference created in society between men and women. Who gave us people, the rights to differentiate between same creations of god. If there wasn’t such a difference in the first place then men wouldn’t have started seeing her as inferior to him.

Only the day when women freely walk on the streets at any corner of the world, at any time of the day, even without the slightest fear of being beaten up by men, then we are doing justice to god and his work.        

Soul-Mate

A journey which started 22 years ago. A journey which molded me into who I am today... Yes, it's the journey of my life. On a cold morning of December 3, 22 years back two little lives entered this planet.. Everyone around was blissful and excited. Alas!!! The excitement faded in a days time when one life left this world in a very brief time, leaving behind all the duties which God had entrusted with both these lives into the hands of the second life. Yes this second life is none other than me. Born as a twin and loosing my companion I have always felt a loneliness deep inside me. Whoever comes into my life I am sure it will not replace my soul-mate given by god. Since my childhood I have always had this urge of having a sister with whom I can share part of my life, the clothes we wear, the dolls I adore, the games I play, the food I enjoy eating. But, ya god was not impartial in my life six years later he gave me back my soul-mate but this time in the form of a boy, well very soon I realized that a brother-sister relationship is far more eternal....
 "Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it's meaning-Paulo Coelho" I think my brother gave me the meaning.

Corporate Readiness

Life as a corporate trainee is fun, but at the same time hectic. My peers are commendable and every passing minute I'm getting so close to each and everyone. They are a set of really intellectual people who could turn a  full moon into no-moon. My corporate induction went on pleasingly, we had one of the best trainers, Nisha a very brilliant and an ace trainer. Only after attending her English fluency class did I understand the intricacy of this language. The "aw" "oh" "AA" ......and the other sounds that we learnt were really awesome. Group discussions, the rockets we made, virtual volleyball everything was a mind boggling experience. Pinnacle session by Mr.Konrad made all of us reach our pinnacle, especially the Tarzan activity were we had to enact like Tarzan.Last day of my corporate induction program was a memorable one, we cut cake, presented Nisha with a beautiful keepsake and took loads of photos, most of all I made  really good friends and my real journey into corporate started from that day because ...

"I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light."

The Start Off

My journey into corporate kick started with, me wearing a purple dress my favourite and my mom giving me roti and chenna for lunch my favourite tooo...
As usual I reached wipro much before than everyone did, waited a couple of minutes until my new peers  or rather I would address them as colleague's came. We were asked to wait in the conference hall named 'cuckoo hall', wonder who is in-charge in naming these halls really weird. After a couple of minutes a boy and a girl not more than two years elderly to me walked in, they asked us to arrange all our documents prior to document verification. Well as usual I was the target early in the morning, I had no idea that I was not allowed to use phones inside the hall but yes I did and the guy who was incharge of the day caught me and from then on he kept nagging me....
Document verification went on well and then came the induction part were we had to introduce ourselves in front of the entire crowd of 200 people... imagine our plight standing in the conference hall and with mike in hand goddd!!! one by one everyone started introducing and then came my turn, wondered how I would manage this ordeal but, yes I did it,not only did I talk but ended up dancing and singing in front of the entire crowd, the guy who was nagging me was none other than the HR and he was very pleased with my intro!!!!!
First day of work came to an end at 6 in the evening with us getting a temporary ID card, our first ID from wipro!!!!! very proud and happy to hold the tag in my hand!! with loads of zeal and ambitions in mind I travel back home....
You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.-paulo coelho

with these thoughts in mind I look forward for a fruitful journey ahead
