A Passing Thought...
The value of challenge
Challenge is life's way of making sure that you truly desire the things you achieve. Challenge is an excellent tool for keeping you focused on the things that really matter to you.
Imagine for a moment what it would be like to live in a world with no challenge. In such a world, you could obtain anything and everything with no need for effort, discipline or commitment. Does that sound like a great setup, with your every wish fulfilled the moment you think of it? Well, it might be nice for 20 minutes or so, but it would soon grow extremely tiresome. For such a world would literally overwhelm you with meaningless triviality. Sure, every wish would be instantly granted, but it would all be painfully empty.
The value of achievement is in the achieving, in the overcoming of the challenges, in the person you become as a result of going through the process. To have the reward without the effort is to have no reward at all, nothing but an empty and meaningless token.
Challenge is difficult, often painful, always demanding, and as such, challenge is what makes true value, beauty and fulfillment possible. Challenge can be tough, yet indeed it brings about the richness and fullness of life.

a recent googgle gave me this hit (that prompted me to find the old torned hard copy)...
and with that me shall pass yet another sunday in the cold confines of my prized pile of print-out papers...
We were pretty much all alone out there, and it was dark and cold and late. I kissed her again. But not on the forehead, and not lightly.
It lasted a long nice time. When we stopped kissing, she was still holding on to my sleeves.
'I don't like it,' she said.
'What?'
'The fact that I like it.'

Gone are the days, ...........but not the memories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gone are the days
When the school reopened in June,
And we settled in our new desks and benches.
Gone are the days
When we queued up in book depot,
And got our new books and notes.
Gone are the days
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
Gone are the days
We learnt writing with slates and pencils, and progressed
To fountain pens and ball pens and then micro tips.
Gone are the days
We began drawing with crayons and evolved to
Colour pencils and finally sketch pens.
Gone are the days
We started calculating first with tables and then with
Clarkes tables and advanced to calculators and computers.
Gone are the days
When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals,
And returned to the classrooms drenched in sweat.
Gone are the days
When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds.
Gone are the days
When all the colours in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays.
Gone are the days
When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons.
Gone are the days
When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Neckties and socks rolled into balls.
Gone are the days
When few played "kabadi" and "kho-kho" in scorching sun,
While others simply played "book cricket" in the confines of
classroom.
Gone are the days
Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy.
Gone are the days
When we used to watch Live Cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks.
Gone are the days
When few rushed at 3:45 to
"Conquer" window seats in our School bus.
Gone are the days
While few others had "Big Fun", "pulippu muttai",
"gulfi ice", "seeval ice !" and "pepsi !" at 4o Clock.
Gone are the days
Of Sports Day, and the annual School Day ,
And the one-month long preparations for them.
Gone are the days
Of the stressful Quarterly, Half Yearly and Annual Exams,
And the most enjoyed holidays after them.
Gone are the days
Of tenth and twelfth standards, when we
Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests.
Gone are the days
We learnt, we enjoyed, we played, we won, we lost,
We laughed, we cried, we fought, we thought.
Gone are the days
With so much fun in them, so many friends,
So much experience, all this and more.
Gone are the days
But not the memories, which will be
Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
Ever and ever and
Ever

Spirit of Friendship
worth reading it ;-)
Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier, as he saw his lifelong
friend fall in battle. The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out
to bring his fallen comrade back.
"You can go," said the Lieutenant,"but don't think it will be worth it. Your
friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away.
"The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier went
anyway.Miaculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his
shoulder and brought him back to their company's trench. The officer checked
the wounded soldier , then looked kindly at his friend. " I told you it
wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Your friend is dead and you are mortally
wounded." "It was worth it, Sir," said the soldier. "What do you mean by
worth it?" responded the Lieutenant. " Your friend is dead." "Yes Sir," the
soldier answered," but it was worth it because when I got to him,he was
still alive and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say...."Jim...I knew
you'd come."
Many times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not, really depends
on how u look at it. Take up all your courage and do something your heart
tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in your
life........

But You Didnt.......
Remember the time when I took your brand new car out and dented it?I thought
you would kill me...........But you didnt.............
And the time when I dragged you to the beach saying that it wouldnt rain
even though you said it would and it actually did?I thought you would say "I
told you"..................But you didnt..........
And the time when I flirted with all the guys at the party , just to make
you jealous and you were.I thought you would leave me...............But you
didnt...........
And the time I forgot to tell you that the dance was formal and you turned
up in jeans.......I thought you would drop me........But you didnt.........
These were a few things and many more about which I wanted to make up to you
once you returned from the War............. But you didnt...............

Its all up to you...
One way or another, you will get something accomplished today. Exactly what you get accomplished is up to you.
The hours of this day will go by, no matter what you do. What you get from them is up to you.
The world is filled with challenges, frustrations, joys and opportunities. What you make of them is up to you. Some of the people around you will praise you and encourage you, others will curse you and oppose you, still others will ignore you. Yet the way you respond is completely up to you.
You can hide away from life or you can dive into its glorious richness. Some people will help you, others will hurt you, yet no one can live your own unique life for you. The way you experience this priceless gift of life is now and always up to you.

Agent Smith: You can't win; it's pointless to keep fighting! Why, Mr. Anderson, why, why do you persist?
Neo: Because I choose to.
-Matrix-III
Anyone can have persistence. It requires no special skill. There's nothing to it really. Persistence is as simple as putting one foot in front of another.
Yes, you'll probably stumble every once in a while. And yes, you could let that stop you.
Or you could simply get back up, learn from your mistakes, and keep on going, with even more determination than before. Persistence is a choice you are always free to make.
Your mind will sometimes fill with doubts, excuses, and reasons to quit. Persistence is a matter of letting them go, as you move on ahead and leave them behind.
Where do you want to go? Persistence will take you there.

"i-don't-care" is the most dishonest sentence i say to myself. Do i say it because i want to believe i don't care, or merely to give that appearance? And why is the appearance of not caring any better than vanity?
What matters is not the caring but the way that i care. Spending all morning in front of the bathroom mirror is not really caring; it is in fact unwillingness to let think that you do care.
What matters is not the caring but the way that i care. Spending all morning in front of the bathroom mirror is not really caring; it is in fact unwillingness to let think that you do care.
While i am worrying about what you think of me i am not open to you, i am not letting you in; in fact, i am not letting you exist as a person-- i am making you my mirror. While i am concerned with what you are thinking about me i am not even thinking about you.
i choose to use my own mind. i do not need your mind. i want to experience you, listen to you-- not myself. i have already heard everything i have to say. You are what is novel about this conversation.

There is certain beauty in poverty, loss, and desolation. there is a certain strength and grandeur in suffering. Grays, storms, ruins, age are powerful subjects for a painting. Even a dump heap can evoke admiration.
When i look at the world gently, when i look at others the way i have sometimes sensed that something look at me, i become a friend. And there is no higher calling.
It is not that there are no accidents, evil, deformity, pettiness, hatred. It's that there is a broader view. Evil exists in the part. Perfection does in whole. Sin is seeing nearsightedly. And i can choose this broader view--not that i always will--but i always can.

A passing thought...
If the little things are getting you down, then spend some time and thought looking up. The more you connect yourself to the big picture, the less you'll be dragged down by all the little frustrations.
If you have no idea of where you're headed, then the smallest setbacks can get blown completely out of proportion. That's because they're the only things you have to focus on.
When you can frame events in a bigger perspective, the little annoyances and frustrations become just that -- little. See clearly where the road is leading, and you won't be bothered by the rocks and pebbles over which you must travel. In fact, you'll even begin to value and appreciate them. For they will serve to confirm that you're truly making progress.
The higher you aim your focus and your efforts, the more resilient you will be. The more positive and meaningful you make the big picture, the more successfully you'll be at dealing with the challenges.
See life from the highest perspective your thoughts can attain. And you'll steadily, gracefully work your way there.

How silly...
Someday you'll see how silly it is to think you can profit from the misfortune of others. Someday you'll see how silly it is to expect to get something for nothing.
Someday you'll see how silly it is to spend so much time all puffed up with pride and arrogance. One day you'll realize how silly it is to think that you're superior to anyone else.
You'll also understand one day how silly it is to think that any task is beneath you. And there will come a time when you'll see how silly it is to get all worked up and angry over the smallest, most insignificant things.
Someday you'll see how silly it is to consume yourself with worry about what others think of you. And someday you'll see how silly it is to ignore those things that matter most, just for the sake of a quick, fleeting pleasure.
Someday you'll regret all the silliness. And then you'll move beyond it to a place where you can truly live with meaning and purpose and integrity, and with real joy. Wouldn't it be great to be there now? How silly it is to wait any longer.

A Passing Thought...
For everything you do, there is a reason why. It may be silly, it may be profound, but in every case there is some reason or other. There are those things you gladly do, those things you reluctantly do, and those things you put off until the last possible moment. For each one of those things, there is a reason why.
If you were to think about each why before you acted on it, consider what would happen. Many of those things that only end up causing regret and dismay, you'd never do at all. And those things that bring value and accomplishment, you'd find yourself doing more and more. Because instead of blindly following any old why, you'd pick the ones that matter most.
Life is filled with whys, yet following them all is not very wise. Decide to follow the ones that mean the most to who you are and the person you would like to become.
Think of the why behind what you do, before you ever do it. Pick the whys that matter most, and you'll get where you truly want to go.
Honesty is always the most reliable, the most direct
route to truly attain whatever you seek.

Mind Control
============
See if you have good mind control over your body.
This is left brain, right brain stuff.
This actually is true even though it may seem stupid
and it's going to really frustrate you, but it’s fun!
While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor
and make clockwise circles.
Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand.
Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do
about it.
Try it.
See what I mean?
Although this is a physiological phenomena, it has spiritual
implications. The direction in which one part of you goes has a
strong tendency to take the rest of you in the same direction.
You can move your hand and foot in the SAME direction but the 6
causes your hand and foot to move in opposite directions.
You can't walk two paths at the same time.
You can't serve two masters at the same time.
You can only go in one direction or the other.

A Friend Who Opens My Heart
by Sunshine
Whenever I think about the people
who make a real difference in my life,
I think of the friend I can talk to,
really open my heart to,
because he understands me...
And I think of the friend I have fun with,
just doing whatever, whenever,
because it feels so good being together...
I think of the friend I can count on,
the one that I turn to so often,
because I know he'll never let me down...
And I think of the friend who inspires me,
who always can keep me believing in me
because he does...
And whenever I think of these wonderful friends
and all that they've given to me,
I think of how lucky I've been
to have found all of them in you.

Just wishing one all the best and shed this mask of pretense...
A mask of plastic happiness often covers her sadness
Her beliefs hidden from most
Afraid of, but willing to face the unknown
Wondering where her place is in this life
She has come close to sharing herself
Never completely revealing anything to anyone
Feelings of invisible chains corner her
When she dreams, reality shatters before her very eyes
Accomplishments she strives for just at hands grasp
She feels lost sometimes, not yet finding her notch in this world
At times the glimmer in her calm eyes slowly disappears
But within her heart a silent flame burns her inside and out
She roams day by day, playing roles
Strength unknowingly resides in her
History repeats itself once again
The translucent veil she so proudly wears
Little by little answers will come, pushing it aside
One day there will be no more mask for her to wear
One day her beliefs will be known
One day she'll know her place in this life
One day she will share herself
ONE DAY this mask will be NO MORE

Personalities...
Guess who?
A small boy - the fifth amongst seven siblings of a poor father, was selling newspapers in a small village to earn his living. He was not exceptionally smart at school but was fascinated by religion and rockets.
The first rocket he built crashed. A missile that he built crashed multiple times and he was made a butt of ridicule. He is the person to have scripted the Space Odyssey of India single-handedly - Dr. APJAK

Life is a Game
At every stage of life
you play a different role.
Sometimes you are the Pawn,
sometimes the Rook:
sometimes the Knight,
or Bishop,or King.
You have power over one,
but another can overpower you.
Circumstances determine
your positions and moves.
You may lose,or you may win.
But the winner does not
inherit the Chessboard.
And the board must be cleared
for the next game.
True it's not whether you win or lose.
It's how you play the game.

THE ITINERARY OF LIFE.
Life is a journey.
Its path is destiny.
And following is its itinerary.
The first halt is childhood.
Gentle as a breeze
and delicate like a flower.
As beautiful as a rain shower.
The next being the youth.
Full of courage and exuberance.
Blissful and lively.
Just like a feel that's heavenly.
After that is the oldage.
Calm like the waves of a sea.
With no worries there to be.
The final is the death.
A time to remember
the above three and
forever to be free

A little tidbit from here and a little from there and a little whassup...
And Sandy wonders...
What it feels like when life fast turns into bullet points and checklists?
Rahul "The Wall" Dravid and company ushering in the jingle bells and cheers to a billion Indians back home.
That is a "Good noose" (Geoff Boycott ishtyle) for Indian cricket.
Someone called Mr. Rohit Gera's reaction about Indian victory comes on a city newspaper page one. who is he btw and
what on earth makes him to do this; even if he does comment why on earth this is on Pune times page one... Isn't it like someone called Sandy saying "i know him Mr. Vajpayee (its different though if doesn't know me in return) and he is doing quite OK these days..."
What the man in beard wants to prove by bringing the city to halt and that too at the early morning rush hour? Now they have it "officially" what we have been calling a cat and dog race in different formats and version going thru'out the town and they call it "Pune Marathon"....
Back to cricket, a la Gautam Bhimani (no one will ever ping at him on google); "How to win a series against Awe-stralia in australia?". Simple "Now since we are already 1-0 up just say time please during the remaining matches... and there's nothing like extra time as in soccer."
Its X'mas time and atmosphere is abuzz... shopping, buying gifts, and other preparations... But how do you feel when you see the old dictetor's bearded face on Time magazine instead of Isa Masih's, definitely not_so_good...
...And after helping in closing a million dollar's deal over the weekend, a pat on a back is the best reward than anything else on the earth... i wonder at this source of inspiration and energy... why on earth "we don't need no motivation..."

However far apart
Two lovers roads maybe
If they are made for each other
And all is meant to be...
Their roads will wind together
No given time or place
Two hearts will beat as one
Theirs souls, tightly embrace
A piece of each ones heart
Will hold the other’s name
Engraved upon it perfectly
While all else remains the same
Now these hearts are beating
But they’ll separate again
Leave each other’s arms
Cause each other pain
Separated lovers
Waiting for one thing
To cross paths once again
And see what life will bring
Two lovers roads maybe
If they are made for each other
And all is meant to be...
Their roads will wind together
No given time or place
Two hearts will beat as one
Theirs souls, tightly embrace
A piece of each ones heart
Will hold the other’s name
Engraved upon it perfectly
While all else remains the same
Now these hearts are beating
But they’ll separate again
Leave each other’s arms
Cause each other pain
Separated lovers
Waiting for one thing
To cross paths once again

Whispering Winds -- Marge Tindal
I hear them whisper your name,
those mighty winds that blow.
I know that you are close at hand,
the winds just told me so.
The direction from whence they blew,
I am not sure I know.
For only when I hear your name,
am I sure the winds did blow.
Caressing my face with a whisper ...
calling out your name,
the winds of delight entice me.
I will never be the same.
I will follow the singing wind.
where it leads me I do not know.
For the winds that blew you from me ...
will take me where I must go.
Upward into the hills,
calmly across the sea,
Hold on my love, I'm coming ...
The wind has beckoned me.
Free to wander and search this earth,
no matter how far that may be.
Free to follow the whispering wind ...
until it blows me back to thee.
I hear your laughter on the wind.
I try with all my might,
to reach out and touch you
on this windy night.
You must be getting closer
for I feel your whispered love.
I reach out my hand to you,
please find me, my sweet dove.
You grasp my hand in yours
and softly speak my name,
out of the whispering winds
We are together again.
I hear them whisper your name,

Hello there!
Just a note to say hello,
Before I start my day;
Couldn't help but drop a line,
To my friends here and away.

Thoughts of you have crossed my mind;

And hope your day is fine.

Have lots to do today;
Just wanted to say good morning,
And you Have a nice day !!

laxmi road
Tour de Laxmi Road!
Oh Gosh! the Diwali traffic at usually always congested laxmi road!
This heavy traffic on Laxmi road seems only second to the heavier traffic on laxmi road during "Ganesh Visarjan". It seems like the whole world has come down to make a good sale on this eve. You name it and find it here Sir! Tulashee baug, Jaihind, kajree, Men's Avenue, Sujata , Ashtekars and Ghodke sarafs all seem so flooded with all this hoi polloi that makes one doubt if everything is for sale free of cost or what!
Wishing you all the goodies you wished to purchase this Diwali!

Nothing gets better than this!
You get up early in the morning, leave for the office to meet yet another official commitment, and on the way see that big red ball on the far eastern horizon, and all your project deadline worries sublimes in the air....
"Life is beautiful" till there is some thrill and then there is some tranquil, indeed!

World this weekend
AB turned 61 in style,
Schumi winning the World championship ( and having done this for record 6th time now he can think of giving way to other lads like kimi and Montoya)
India once again on the verge of failing to clear-off the tail in NZ-India test match (unless Kumble and Bhajji spins in the turn and twist in the same old story, before i post this log)... all_was_well but at the end still the fact remains we could not win the first test of the series this time around also.
On personal front: lots of TV, rest, and photography on my new digicam...

Two good oldies just getting even better, and an observation ::both are actors, both starts from 'A', both are still hunks, and both are angry men....
First: Amitabh Bachchan
The man packs AB corp. as a gift wrap for himself for his 61st Birthday. Even as whole Bollywood is looking for that elusive "Boom" time Bachchans are seen on every second poster these days, especially old angry man bringing in the same fire power with each release. And if things fall aplace we will see him in yet another multi-crore project along with Aby's baby named as of now "Ranveer"... Just go on AB
Second: Arnold Shivajinagar
Just when everyone had started writing this man off, he is back with a bang if not on screen then on even bigger stage. They were saying he is waning, but the "California Recall" might be already announcing he is winning. yet another title beckons to this multiple time Mr. Univ.

Kal Ho na ho!
Say what you want to, today itself
cause tomorrow it may be too late
Do what you want to, today itself
cause tomorrow may not be in your fate
Live life as it has no tomorrow
be merry and leave away sorrow
Love some one before its too late
cause tomorrow may not be in your fate
Sing and dance till you have the luxury of time
cause wasting the life you have got, is a crime
See what you want to see before it's too late
cause tomorrow may not be in your fate
Try out every thing you ever wanted to do
Be with friends and make them feel special too
If you love someone tell him or her before its too late
cause tomorrow may not be in your fate.

Ganpati Bappa...
Its post Shravan, and festive season begins again...
though the world is not same as before especially after being stuck in various responsibilities... these events certainly giving some breather... to rest and relax and enjoy the world around... It certainly gives added importance and that N'joyment value on occassions like Independence Day (this time also it was on 15th August, i wonder) DahiHandi, Panchami, Pola etc... when u put aside some time, some plans specifically for them... inviting friends and relatives, get-to-gethers and freaking out... music, lots of traditional food... and what not. no worry, no time-pass wasting on that dumb keyboards and those white boards and in those conference halls and on those conference calls...
Now its Ganpati Bappa time...
For me Ganpati used to be domestic (in my home) and then social Ganpati (neighbourhood Mandal )...
then Ganpati became hostelite to slowly turn towards socialite (in the form of Dagdusheth and other Manache penta Ganpatis exhibiting its genuine aura of fame and glory...
Now it has again become less social in terms of number but faithwise more gregarious... literally taking Social Ganpati (of our society). Having been with this form of Ganpati for the third time in my life shud say the experience just getting better by every passing year...
don't we just love being the part of those 5 day events and activities which otherwise are too meager, too ordinary, too unimportant to pay attention to and we generally shrug off as same old tiny-miny girly things... Rangoli, Chitra-kala, Katha Vachan spardha (especially if u know nothing abt it and even then u r made to judge the talent of those small angels), then it takes some elderly pattern in the form of discussing social issues and torning them apart to the extent that those issues themselves seem to come out and say "leave us alone...", old folks story-telling and telling their experiences of life with some fake, some exaggerated deeds... purush virahit natya prayog, only male natya prayog, only insane_kids_in_the_block_like_us natya prayog, Antakshari that slowly turns out to Antarakashari... etc etc... those morning and evening chants and aarti, those Morya re bappa morya re aaroLya, those COEeeeeeeeeeeeP- COEP ishtyle Ganpateeeeeeeeeeeee-Ganpati ;-) all for sure brings that old sheer cheer to the life...

A Red-Letter (Birth)day that was...
It was a nice, long, hectic but exciting birthday and after many years some sensible day i had on my birthday this year.
In such a monotonus normal life in which we seldom get a reason to celebrate, we are looking for some adventure a reason "in real sense" that makes you scream out of joy from the terrace of ur building, a moment when your joy is at the apex of emotional and platonic excitement... And i guess we all get a fair share of it, time and often: when we come first time first in the KG class of 40 hard fighting antagonists, when we get a pat on back for merely finding the keys kept on a table which all other elders can hardly find, when we fight off the stiff resistance of other stronger athletes and get a place in sports team, when we bring medals and recognition to our class, school in various competitions, when we get started reconizing as a flutist or quiz wizard, when we appear in the merit list, when we exchange slam books and chocolates while parting, when we get-to-gether with old friends, when we get our first job and then when we get our first salary, first promotion, first friend whom you can no more say a friend then etc, etc...
But what about birthdays, Nah!
Birthdays i had been thinking was one of those nonsensical rationalizations that we reach onto to, to fool ourselves, to foolishly convince us about that single reason to celebrate for no reason, to make ourselves that fitting block in the whole system of worldly matters that somehow brings us some material sense of acheivement.
But not this time, i decided, not to get overjoyed for no reason for this is not what is supposed to cheer about, or is it? May be for the only reason that it brings that smile again on the face of my near and dear ones who might have had similar on my first 23rd August, and now my friends who get more than enough reasons to wish me and celebrate. And in a sense that in fact adds up to a some matter of fact rationalizations, we have to keep and thats no fooling ourselves...
Pretty heavy, nah? but this was just taking some stocks of life on this given occasion, wud write more later...
So here it was how the day went:
a day before B'day got out off office a bit earlier, to the The Pyramids : shopping_like_crazy with friends till 11:00 p.m. the shopkeeper happily obliged to extend his day...
Dinner party at The Mainland China (some sensible this time, so no B'day bumps :-) then and there), nice and surprising gift_dish and music from the hotel staff at the midnight stroke. some silent :-) and invisible tears running down the cheeks, mixed emotions of joy and missing_memories...
OK, some dance in the rains and on the roads,
party time at home, calls...
got up a bit later (7:00) than usual, wore formals first time this year, some temple-temple, some won't_tell secret things, then again greeting calls from all directions, some office work, meetings friends, shopping again, Mumbai trip to see off a friend, playing 95.5 FM, Antakshari sort of from the originals collection os of KKV, Sandy & company , Gulzaar's Fursat ke pal non stop on return journey, photo session thru-out, tyre bursting on the Exrpessway, dinner at the Food Mall...
Also now its time to review the year that was on professional, financial, personal, and social etc. etc. fronts...
Not a splendid or an extra-ordinary day in any sense but that's for what it is sure going to go in my catalogue as journe qui fait date...

Fusion poetry
This poem came up as a weekend jugalbandi between me and my friend who untill now i used to think was just a dumb studious Infy-ite.
Note: the odd verses were his while i answered on even lines.
Title: (not yet decided)
rainbow twillight
heart on flight
dusky mist
eyes on feast
waving farms
embracing arms
coying sun
its all fun
serene moon
coming soon
chilling shiver
lasting forever
and repeating these lines again and again was really a fun...

Friends and Acquiantance...
A nice forward...
Friend And Acquaintance.
There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend. An
acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around.
It's a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But
they are people who you don't share your life with, whose actions sometimes
you don't understand because you don't know enough about them.
On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are "in love"
with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are
not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might
like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people
whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless.
Friends are the people you feel safe around because you know they care about
you. They call just to see how you are doing, because a friend doesn't need
an excuse. They tell you the truth, the first time, and you do the same. You
know that if you have a problem, they are there to listen.
Friends are the people who won't laugh at you or hurt you, and if they do
hurt you they try hard to make it up to you. They are the people you love,
regardless of whether you realize it.
Friends are the people you cried with when you got rejected from colleges
and during the last song at the prom and at graduation. They are the people
that when you hug them, you don't think about how long to hug and who's
going to be the first one to let go.
Maybe they are the people that hold the rings at your wedding, or maybe they
are the people who give you away at your wedding, or maybe they are the
people you marry. Maybe they are the people who cry at your wedding because
they are happy or because they are proud.
They are the people who stop you from making mistakes and help you when you
do. They are are the people whose hand you can hold, or you can hug or give
them a kiss and not have it be awkward because they understand the things
you do and they love you for them.
They stick with you and stand by you. They hold your hand. They watch you
live and you watch them live and you learn from them. Your life is not the
same without them.

Nice excerpt from a book by Neale Donald Walsch...
Something somewhat consonant with my current fav. Robbie Williams' Escapology Feel(ing)...
"I talk to everyone. All the time. The question is not to whom do I talk, but who listens?
Intrigued, I asked God to expand on this subject. Here's what God said:
First, let's exchange the word talk with the word communicate. it's a much better word, a much fuller, more accurate one. When we try to speak to each other - Me to you, you to Me, we are immediately constricted by the unbelievable limitation of words. For this reason, I do not communicate by words alone. In fact, rarely do I do so. My most common form of communication is through feeling.
Feeling is the language of the soul.
If you want to know what's true for you about something, look to how you're feeling about it.
Feelings are sometimes difficult to discover - and often even more difficult to acknowledge. Yet hidden in your deepest feelings is your highest truth."

MY WISH FOR YOU
May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always
understand.
May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you
the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and
optimism.
Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be
there, even when you feel most alone.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of
your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may
call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are
always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have
wished.
It is the content of the encounter That is more important than its form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place
immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see beauty and love in the world around you.
Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard you may be more than
compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in
the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.
These Are My Wishes For You
May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always
understand.
May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you
the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and
optimism.
Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be
there, even when you feel most alone.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of
your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may
call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are

this came to me as a nobel idea, to pakaofy the fellow blog readers with a Good Morning thought, to make it a bad morning to some extent if someone really happens to read it. So here goes today's...
Sacred space ;-)
Altruism: Action that benefits another person, including comforting,
helping, sharing, rescuing and cooperating. Acts of concern for other people
- without any hope of reward.
Why do You Share..?
A reporter once asked a farmer to divulge the secret behind his corn, which
won the state fair contest year after year. The farmer confessed it was all
because he shared his seed with his neighbors.
"Why do you share your best seed corn with your neighbors when you're
entering the same contest each year as well?" asked the reporter.
"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from
the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grew
inferior corn, cross-pollination would steadily degrade the quality of my
corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbor do the same."
And so it is with other situations in our lives. Those who want to be
successful must help their neighbors, friends, relatives to be successful.
Those who choose to live well must help others live well, for the value of a
life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy
must help others find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with
the welfare of all.

Tomorrow Never Dies
Approaching Each Day
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes
midnight. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that
the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my
finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from
waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was
growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns
have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest
to discover new job relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy
because I have a job to go to!
Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind
and fill it with knowledge and adventure.
Today I can dejectedly murmur because I have housework to do or I can feel
grateful for shelter for my mind, body and soul.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped, and here I am, the
sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to me.
And I shall decide what kind of day I shall have!"
How will you live THIS DAY?

You never had the time to look
-Thanks Pooja.
The deafening roar
As the waves crash into the rocks
You must be here, I shout
I have searched the mountains and the valleys below
The fields of gold and the rivers that flow
Every temple, every church
Every mosque, every synagogue
You must be here, I shout
I could not find you any place else
You are right, He says
You never found me because you never cared to look
I was in the leper there
But you never cared to look
I was in the madman everyone threw stones at
But you never cared to look
I was in the scraggly dog everyone kicked
But you never cared to look
I was in you
But you never had the time to look
-Thanks Pooja.

A Wonderful Poem
- Thanks Amruta,
When choosing the path to follow, I selected the road heading west.
It began in the Forest of Childhood, and ceased in the City of Success.
My bag was packed full of knowledge, but also some fears and some weights.
My most precious cargo was a vision of entering the city's bright gates.
I reached an impassable river, and feared that my dream has been lost.
But I found a sharp rock, cut down a tree, and created a bridge, which I
crossed.
It started to rain, and I was so cold, I shivered and started to doubt.
But I made an umbrella out of some leaves and kept all the cold water out.
The journey took longer than I had planned; I had no food left in my dish.
Rather than starve before reaching my dream, I taught myself how to fish.
I grew awfully tired as I walked on and on, and I thought of the weights in
my pack.
I tossed them aside, and I sped up again. Fear was all that was holding me
back.
I could see the City of Success, just beyond a small grove of tress.
At last, I thought I have reached my goal! The whole world will envy me!
I arrived at the city, but the gate was locked. The man at the door frowned
and hissed,
"You have wasted your time. I can't let you in. Your name is not on my
list."
I cried and I screamed and I kicked and I shook; I felt that my life had
just ceased.
For the first time ever, I turned my head, and for once in my life faced the
east.
I saw all the things I had done on my way, all the obstacles I'd overcome.
I couldn't enter the city, but that didn't mean I hadn't won.
I had taught myself how to ford rivers, and how to stay dry in the rain.
I had learned how to keep my heart open, even if sometimes it lets in some
pain.
I learned, facing backwards, that life meant more than just survival.
My success was in my journey, not in my arrival!!!!!

The Treasure
"All my life," he said, "I have searched for the treasure.
I have sought it in the high places, and in the narrow.
I have sought it in the deep jungles, and at the ends
of rivers, and in dark caverns - and yet have not found it.
"Instead, at the end of every trail, I have found you
awaiting me. And now you have become familiar to me,
though I cannot say I know you well.
Who are you?"
And the stranger answered:
"Thyself."
-From an old tale.

Life on a fast lane
i was going to write this from a last week:
Among a dozens of reasons that i find to celebrate (though i need none really) "got_my_driving_licence" was the one. i celebrated this occasion with a friend and her khatara; who then went on thinking to apply for cancellation of my licence after seeing how nice driver i've been.
Its actually fun to drive... especially when its some friends' car or of coaching class...
me thinks myself as Sandy_Schumi when i have steering wheel in hands...
but i drive faster with bikes last time breaking_95_KMPH barrier being a forthnight ago on the way back from Rajad to Baaneshwar...

Guess what! It was something so rare, so exciting leaving office today and know what? the rare part was that i left the the office in broad daylight! (after real real long gap during weekdays...)
My happiness knew no bounds when i saw that old evening rush hour traffic on the road, that 'Evening sun getting down from my terrace', those birds flying in the flocks, those colourful clouds gathering at the background etc etc...
a fortnight back i was at Rajgad when i was feeling the same (Njoy!) kaash i had camera that works in rain!...
Is there any male version of "Kaanton se khinch ke ye Aanchal, tod ke ghungru..." :))

Thanks Babblers!
Congrats to all COEP batch mates and fellow bloggers for having almost completed another year of your professional career...
It was surprising and definitely motivating to see the floods of congratulatory mails for having completed two years in professional life.
Would like to paste down one such post from my group blogs here :
Scene : the bindview office today..........
He hit s the office everyday with that air of a DJ Kaz with his mind blowing mixes and rockin' music.
everyday ... since the last 2 years...
Heyyyyyyy .......................... And Thattssss Not Alll....!!!!!
Today he compeletes his second consecutive year at bindview...
Oh... me me .. whata memorable day!!!
Especially when you've graduated to the ranks of a Team leader way ahead of everybody else busy coding :-)
And
Probably When your managers expectations from you far outgo your own aspirations with the company :-)
Waiitttt..waitt....Lemme tell u one thing...BEST is the best bcoz it IS.
Hmmmm....
Makes it better
Why not dance and join his excitement
So Babblers ... lets wish him a BIG BIG BRIGHT career ahead all the way ..... living like a king with lots of money and fame (a la "Ca-ching").....
(sounds familier .. eh?)

Here's an interesting link that I just came across...
How Pi Works?
Pi is an extremely interesting number that is important to all sorts of mathematical calculations. Anytime you find yourself working with circles, arcs, pendulums (which swing through an arc), etc. you find Pi popping up. We have run into Pi when looking at gears, spherical helium balloons and pendulum clocks. But you also find it in many unexpected places for reasons that seem to have nothing at all to do with circles.
On one level pi is simple: It is the ratio of a circle's circumference divided by its diameter. This ratio, for any circle, is always the same - 3.14 or so. You can prove this to yourself with a circle, a piece of tape and a ruler. Look around your house and find something circular: a jar lid, a CD, a plate - whatever you can find that is circular, the bigger the better. Measure its diameter (the width across the center of circle) with the ruler. Now wrap a piece of tape around the circle and cut or mark the tape so that it is exactly as long as the outer edge (the circumference) of the circle you are measuring. Measure the piece of tape. With a calculator divide the length of the tape by the diameter you measured for the circle. The answer you will get, if you have measured accurately, is always 3.14.
The following figure shows how the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 1.27 inches is equal to a linear distance of 4 inches:
As you might imagine, 4.0 (the circumference) / 1.27 (the diameter) = 3.14.
As you can see, on this level Pi is a basic fact of life for all circles. It is a constant, 3.14, for any circle you find. The funny thing about Pi is that it also has another level. Pi is an irrational number (it cannot be expressed by any simple fraction of two integers) that has an infinite number of non-repeating digits. There are ways to calculate Pi that have nothing to do with circles. Using these techniques, Pi has been calculated out to millions of digits.

Pros and Cons of Rains...
We are now well in the middle of first month of monsoon, and surprises to get some sudden showers while midway to your office or outing is now bound to be there the next couple of months.
Today while I was on the way to office got completely soaked up by this sudden guest. The first obvious reaction was : "Oh No, not now..." but then gradually turned down to some mild : "Oh (majaa aa raha hain...)". The smiley face that was earlier like :-( turned to :-0 and then :)) : "(let it pour down heavily)".
If it rains while going to office or some imp. outing its bad but think u r goin to just some another place called office or just a some an assignment on the way; it then suddenly becomes good (think as if u or on Monsoon holiday in some place like Lonavala etc. where otherwise ironically we go intentionally to get wet).
"Oh, its started raining again...", "I forgot to buy new rain suit, that will suit current monsoon fashion, (now will have to make a makeshift with one spare jerkin in the bagpack as a rain pant... but just then why not even remove this rain shirt and get completely soaked instead of half wet half dry)"
"Its rain and any restaurant and snack centre is not yet open! No worry! its raining and its right time to have some just ovenised_seemingly_day_old wadapav (that tastes heavenly and certainly beyond the ones from Joshi Wadewale), Bhujiyas and a cup of powder-tea".
The roads are wet, the signals are wet, my timepiece is wet, oh everything is wet! Oh its a joy ride to the office as the roads are wonderfully wet, there's no time binding now as my watch has gone eternally incorrigible, Oh everything is so nice and exactly as I have been longing for from so long.

Faith is deliberate suspension of your disbelief...
Swami Vivekanand says;
"First have faith in yourself. Know that though one may be a little bubble and another
may be a mountain high wave, yet behind both the bubble and the wave there is the infinite ocean."
Sometime back I happened to see this documentary / video titled "Conspiracy theory". As i was seeing it could see my whole belief system stumbling down. The video was about "Did Man actually put step on the Moon?". If the evidences and different cases put forward by this are to be believed (which also seems quite convincing) then I must say, the biggest event in the History of mankind was infact the most expensive movie ever produced by America Inc, a complte hoax. And as if to rectify the flaws in the footage of Moon exploration are to be seen Hollywood had come up with "Capricon One". All this once again exposes American philosophy: "If you can not make it, fake it...". Also questions the very American motto about trust / faith "In God we trust.".
Sometimes we need to believe somethings blindly otherwise it would be humanly and socially impossible to live. So if someone says Earth is flat for that period it was flat, if someone comes and say it is now round, so be it. Life itself is also based on certain assumptions, and I think that only leads us to enjoy it, otherwise if start doubting everything its gonn to be I don't know what may be hell, a bowl of chaos...
