The day I stopped taking a Private Bus

Just as I was relieved with the judgment of the Delhi Rape case,the TV screens in the canteen flash off the Rape of a 31 year old woman who is a mother of a 6 year old brutally molested,mutilated and killed.There just isnt a single day in the newspapers that is free of sexual harassments. The number of cases only have doubled from 2012 in India.And every girl who independently steps out of her house to earn a living or to study to build a career of her dreams continues to live in Fear.And so does her family who have managed to bring her into this world and have shown her to dream just like any other boy in the country would.

         I was so shattered and scared by the Delhi Incident that I stopped taking the private bus from Silk board which is en route my way home from office.I just dont take them anymore and may be are the other woman equally scared who only prefer the BMTC(The Bangalore's Metropolitan Transport Corporation) waiting only for it.And now today's case of brutality was in an auto...So do we all now stop taking autos as well??? What will a Regular Employee like me who is an ameteur with her 4 wheeler driving and works far off to commute with a two wheeler do in a Metro city if not for an auto to cover petty distances or late night accessibility???Its just not a simple problem of transportation or Logistics ...Its a problem of fear,uncertainity and Insecurity that haunts us woman because of such brutal ruthless incidents.And where does this brutality come from??4-6 people pouncing on a single human body like rare wolves is not fun !!!Its heights of Insanity,Immorality and Inhumanity.And to add on, they get the audacity to take away lives of women in split seconds.It builds in a sense of doubt in a woman to trust any person -Good or Bad at that late hour.A stranger means an alarm !!!We talk on a regular basis about how safe is India or how safe women of India are...But do we really care about making India safer unless its a sister,mother or daughter or friend that is in trouble...No we dont.

  I read in the newspaper that women with software tags are more prone to incidents like these because the so called "software Culture" allows unethical treatment and I was taken aback.Do we all see such allowable candidates in our house or workplace?I am sure a majority of women from today's generation hold these tags.It doesnt make them prone.It only shows that they have the caliber and intellect to raise their head high and work equally hard (as men) towards their goals.Its a fact to be proud of and not to be scared.But the recent incidents unfortunately reverse this situation.

     Little Flowers of ages 12 onwards or even less are subjects to such hideous crimes on a very regular basis and I see no end to this....And those bastards are everywhere around leading normal lives as if they are just not guilty.

As much as I hate the foul verbatim and keep advicing my friends and younger cousins at home against usage of such words,I now feel may be I should have got trained with those "Gaalis" specially to address such people.And the sad part is that we women are finger pointed after all this - be it the way we dress or the way we address.Coming from conservative telugu Brahmin family,I always went and came back from college with a salwar and a 3 pin dupatta and head always bent down.But that never got me rid of the eve teasers in the small town that I studied and the stories of my sister who studied in a metro are even worse.So where does the logic that the girl or her behavior provocate such demons apply??Or will a 10 or a 12 year old innocent girl understand what is provocating??Its a mere character assassination of the girl (jus as in Aarushi's case)done so as to protect the guilty due to reasons of power,money or politics.Ironically Tehelka.com came up with the below 5 reasons why women in India arent safe!!(Well...may be firstly Tehelka should stop hiring people like Tarun Tejpal to start with)

http://www.tehelka.com/five-reasons-why-women-are-still-not-safe-in-india/

  The crime based shows boost their TRPs with more and more of real and fictional content and the journalists talk hours together about criminals and their acts of sin become cover stories atleast for a week minimum but the focal point of CRIME is not talked about.The cover story creates a lot of hype,curiosity and after a while...its simply forgotten.Its only and only the loss of the victim and their Family and friends but who cares??We have all such busy lives to lead and are very busy to become more and more self centered.In a generation where an app has more popularity than a human life at stake,why even bother!!!!

  The more this insensitivity and indifference towards such incidents by the Indian public,the higher will be the crime rate and there will soon be a day where the ratio of women to men would be so less like in the film Matrubhumi(The tag line says-A Nation without Women) where Tulip Joshi gets married to five men.And what do we do with such a nation that has no prosperity,no growth or no Virtue!!!I just put in a sneak peak of the movie here.Its an old one and I am sure youtube has parts of the movie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ399QfSwP8
Its a very strange thing that a woman who is constantly a part of a man's life in her various roles as a mother,sister,teacher,friend,wife,daughter is deprived of the respect she deserves from the society.Forget about Respect,she isnt even treated a human just a mere toy!!! As much as I respect the men who sensitize with us and React on such incidents,it is to those that dont, that I would like to say - We are no toys ,We are just as much beautiful creatures of God born with equal abilities,virtues and capabilities.And so we deserve to grow,Work towards our goals,passions,we deserve to be happy to create happy families that will foster a happy world.We Deserve to be safe....We Deserve to LIVE ....Happily ever after !!!!

Unleashing Judgments - Begets Unconditional Love

LOVE -WE seek it,want it,need it.Yet,it eludes so many of us - if...its a feeling of genuine heart felt unconditional love.

Love seems to come in precious moments that we can’t seem to grasp before time and our busy lives takes its toll. We forget or overlook or even take for granted those precious moments in our rush for building a better future.But is not present more beautiful than past or future??

we must love ourselves first before we can love another. It requires something so simple, yet difficult in practice: letting go of making ourselves, and others, wrong.

When WE make someone else wrong, WE hold the energy of needing to correct, convince, control ,or change someone else Someone should “be or do” the way you expect.Blaming, complaining, or condemning becomes acceptable.

On the other hand,When we make ourselves wrong, we hold thoughts of how one should be, and end up feeling not good enough. We now see ourselves and others as objects or problems that need to be fixed.So.....why not rise above the feeling of judging or begrudging someone or fall prey to getting judged??

Statistics say that the uncanny ability to not complain or find faults with anything makes a woman highly productive and my mom is one best example.

Things happen for a reason and so do people reject or accept us for a reason but the bigger picture will fall into place once we start loving ourselves unconditionally. There is judgment everywhere- within family,at work,in social circles -Right and wrong,good and bad.I learnt that happiness is a changing state of being, and love can be experienced on many different levels.

Many believe love is putting up with, sacrificing, tolerating, or suffering in silence thinking their commitment is proof of their love. This is not love.I think,Understanding, seeing, hearing, and accepting someone for who they are is love.

When you make someone wrong, there’s a value you hold being stepped on. But in fact,its just someone else’s perception of truth.

                                             

Someone not living up to our value of “hard work” may be judged as “lazy.” Someone who does not follow our idea of “giving” we may judge as “selfish.” Someone we judge as “inconsiderate” is not acting in a way we see as “kindness.”

Can we sit and understand for a minute how it feels when others project their values onto us ??? The question is not whether someone is right or wrong, but whether the words and actions are coming from the spectrum of fear on one side or love on the other.Noticing intentions ,understanding and appreciating it is something a good friend of mine taught me.

I wanted to write this so that all those people that dwell into destructive consequences on being judged understand a little and all those girls/guys who prospectively fall into this matrimonial journey of constantly being judged feel better.

We might sooner or later realize with time that the person we tagged "ugly or boisterous" is actually good and kind and we might also feel sorry for coming to conclusions but we must have missed a beautiful chance to know a person or may be become a good friend.

There is a beauty to everything in nature and there is a story to every person as to why they are or they behave in a certain way...It just needs compassion and patience to understand this.A shift from self based ego and fear towards love and acceptance is tough but it indeed is possible to bring out the positive best in us.Just that our positive best may not be someone else's best...But does that really matter???

Celebrating the YOU in U

Just as I got back to blogging I realized the positivity life has been lacking...In me, in people around at work and in my family. So I started off with this piece that occurred out of mind from some swaying thoughts somewhere n it actually took shape when a good fren of mine encouraged reading an old post of mine...

This is specially to all those women who get so busy wid their lives and responsibilities that they forget to TREAT THEMSELVES well...Treating is an abstract word in todays world and it immediately strikes chord with our routine pampering sessions like going to a parlor or a spa...But wait...Is that all that will help??We are stressed out wid problems so we just take an hour and visit a parlor feel relaxed and get back to being busy bees again. Does this suffice and bring a permanent "I conquered world" smile on our faces??No it doesn't...It gives a temporary stop gap remedy and takes minds off the problem but does not give a solution. Most of the times, the solution lies within ourselves .We just don't treat ourselves well enough to understand our self worth and under estimate our ability to actually find solution to our problems from within.

I am not saying to be an arrogant,'I know all person' who confines and deals with his problems hook or crook. Its always good to take advice and wisdom is wealth, but then...We only ultimately decide...And I feel, its then that this self worth realization helps.

To celebrate oneself we really don't have to spend lots of money visiting places. Its just enough to understand what is it that really makes us happy. What is it that we actually want. This sentence reminds me of my mom who gets irritated with me and asks me this. To add on to her irritation I simply smile...:)Every one must have gone through this phase of do I really want this from life.. May be we don't have clarity earlier but when the situation comes, we sure can answer if or not we want that.

Life is too small to be way far busy that we have no time to do what we like. But its way far too big to accommodate the small little things that make us happy. I only want to say to all those who have become so busy that they say they have no time for themselves to stop for a while and do something for once for their own good. It will soon become a habit to treat themselves well. It may be a small thing like reading book which they stopped years back , attending a charity function that they ignored earlier, watching an old film that was once an al time favorite but the CD now got dusted, but just do it for once...It will soon realize its form and you will see that you are celebrating U-Because you are worth it, because you deserve it and because you need it.

My all time favorite Oprah says - The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more it is in Life to celebrate...Lets just celebrate all happy timings we share-all birthdays, anniversaries and any feel good occasions that pass by...why jus occasions we could celebrate anything and everything, we could celebrate life in itself...

My dumb mind came up with some empowering ideas that I would like to suggest ...

Jump up and down and shout, “(your first name), you are so amazing and perfect.”(My first name is too big and complicated...so I ll jus shout my name :))

Throw a party in your honor and invite your closest friends.  Have your friends share why they feel you are a beautiful child of God.(I  can imagine this wid my frens n I already started laughing)

Sing a song about how amazing you are.  Just make up the words and lyrics as you go.(This is hilarious cos I know what my song will have...but u can try urs)

Take a day off and declare it your own day to celebrate you. Spend the entire day doing what you truly and deeply want to do.  Eat ice cream, walk in the park, read a book, go dancing, etc…(I will make sure my manager is not reading this...Pun unintended :))

So on a lighter note...hoping my mom will start taking up French class which she always wanted and my best fren takes out time to call all of us which she always enjoys...I end the blog note...

To all my frenz...Read this n let me know if my crappy words of wisdom can keep goin :)

Right and wrong –The Ultimate Dilemma

I had a lazy day with no work done at all and so I thought of not working the remaining part of the day as well and dedicate it to my blogging efforts which is why this post would pop up at this hour. We seldom see people argue or fight on what is right and what is wrong and see that the people with Right intentions win at the end..But are they winners actually???Well I leave the answer to the context that provoked a fight. It happens so that the person who is judged wrong is also correct. But may be the thought process of the people around supporting the right person call the other wrong..So what I mean is that the question Right or wrong is justified only by the perception of the people looking at it or involved with it.

I came to this conclusion with several instances that I came across right from my childhood. When me and my dad watched Mahabharath on TV,I adored Karna who according to my dad was bad because he supported Duryodhana, the great Kaurava and fought against Pandavas who were his own brothers. But I looked at it differently. He simply stood by his best friend who helped him in times of need and paid him back even at the cost of fighting with his own brothers. I liked his might, his dedication and honesty as a friend.I never won on the argument with my dad that he was a great guy because he supported the wrong people but  I always admired him till day as an iconic character. This example is just to say that Right and wrong as a matter of fact is the way we put it across or the way we think about it.

Right by definition is to be in accordance with what is just, good, proper, ethically morally and legally correct. On a political front, the constitution and government decide on what is right and what is wrong. On an individualistic personal front, who decides them???For kids in a family the parents do…But for individuals grown up and with a sensibility and thinking of their own..who should be deciding this??The answer I believe is their conscience-their inner self..If I can answer my inner self if or not I did the right thing and get an answer YES, then its mostly correct. But the answer needs to be real and honest. There is a lot of difference between influencing the answer and telling oneself that it is correct and actually doing a right thing. Right ,by all means is always Right…and we will know it.

I dont buy it when somebody says that you are wrong only because I get a different answer when I ask myself..And if I get influenced by people who tell me I am wrong though I know that I am right, then I loose my individuality and identity of myself because I am muting the voice of my inner self and giving priority to the voice of somebody else..And this is wrong again..I think the decision of Right or wrong is a part of ones self development and we tend to understand these things only by mere experience..The joy in sticking and standing by what you feel is right, Fight and probably loose people in this argument but still winning on righteousness are deeds to be felt and not explained..We all might have done this at one or the other point and draw a little amount of pride from the fact of doing what we believed in was Right..

We consult people many times when in a dilemma of what is Right and what is wrong but finally cannot go ahead with doing it If we feel its wrong..Sometimes it so happens that the discretion of doing a right thing does not rest in our hands and we simply become spectators of a decision which could be wrong and in this case we cannot influence their decisions..Then do we just let the wrong happen??Thats again the wisdom of oneself.. We all don’t do the wrong things by choice it happens by chance and its never late to do the right thing when we have wronged. We surely have an inbuilt power to change it.It takes a lot of courage and strength but at the end of it its all worth it cos it’s THE RIGHT THING

I read two wonderful stories that inspired me to encapsulate these thoughts on my blog which you can read from the link below. They are good indeed.

http://www.boojle.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2115

At the cessation of the article, I just want to emphasize on one thing -Right is always Right when done righteously by oneself. It is important to strive and and keep up a Rightful image untarnished by time and be remembered for generations because that’s the only true wealth we transcend to our off springs –An unswayed hall of Rightful Fame in the book of life..He who is rightful always and can answer his own self can answer God anytime..

Success is the sole earthly judge of Right and Wrong

Family Ties -I am thankful!!!Are you???

I had a hell lot of an emotional trauma this week because of the sudden loss of somebody very close to me but it taught me something very deep...That I had to be thankful for all you know...In fact I feel may be we should all be thankful that we have such wonderful people around who constantly support us and have many a times given us the feeling that they are there..May be it was unsaid but they are simply are the flavors that back us up so well even in times when they are not aware of what they had just done to us..We all call them FAMILY and may be I will not have so many thoughts flowing about them any other day than today so I thought I should put it across..

There have been several occasions where I or may be we all take them for granted and feel they are obliged or supposed to be there to support us..as if that is the very purpose of their existence..But as a matter of truth they very well are not obliged and the fantastic part is that they know it...But still they let us feel that they are doing their duty by helping us,by being supportive,by keeping a hand on our shoulder,by guiding us...by merely making us feel that we are not alone..In life's monotonous journey,we not only forget to appreciate them but we even sometimes tend to forget or ignore acknowledging their existence...We fail to give them their due importance and more..Yet they never crib or complain..They don't demand the attention we fail to give them.They just take care of us because they believe that its a part of life for them to do.They feel that its one of those millions of reasons why they are here..on earth..and they just silently keep doing it whether or not somebody regards their efforts..and that is the reason I call them WONDERFUL people..

This happens to me most times in a week that I am very busily getting ready since I got up late and have this irritated frown on my face blaming my lack of will power to get ready soon.This irritation though is there most of the days,I feel and still hope I should have got up soon and with this resentment decide that my day is bad early in the morning even before the day has fully started.I get ready in front of the mirror with this dirty frown when my mom relaxingly sings a song or cracks a very irrelevant joke that vanishes the frown and brings in a smile that in fraction of seconds makes my day good and I spread this smile of mine in my bus and in my team in office but never did I realise that I had to give the credit of turning my day so good to my mother who had no idea of what her song or joke had done to me..Of course she deliberately lightens up my mood when she knows about it but she does it many a times unaware of how it helps me..and I fail to acknowledge her efforts every single time..

We all tend to do this because these people are always going to be with us so why thank them..They are family after all..But how can family become after all???Having mere blood ties with you don't make them your own..Its the emotional ties that make people our own..I feel every person we are emotionally bonded to is family ..with or without blood ties...They have got no business to support us listen to our sensible or senseless talks,to bear with us and stand with us through thick and thin..But yet they are there...They see us fail and fall back and come to hold us then,they see us rise to success and accomplish our goals and they come to embrace us..They in short are a part of all our happiness and sadness..They are of part of us and our very existence..So can they be counted after all and ignored??definitely not..

It really makes me sick to see a large amount of emotional Holocaust that people go through only because they fail to share their problems with their family..It is intriguing to understand why a brother cannot talk to his own sister for years despite the modern technology.These people are all having blood ties ..then may be the reluctance comes with the lack of emotional ties..Many of us may be privileged with these strong emotional bonding but we are a little lazier to tighten these strands and make the bonding strongest...Well what I am looking at is a picture perfect life with these strongest bonds..Its not unattainable for sure..Just needs a little more effort than normal..

There could be so may reasons as to why we should be thankful to our own people,but one reason that none of us can deny is that they have taught us the essence of relationships,the importance of getting bonded to people and have a social life,the relevance of connecting with others...Its because of their presence that we don't loose trust on relationships where we fail,we might be hurt by a person but we don't hate or curse the relationship.They taught us what sharing and caring means not by mere words but by deeds,actions and their own way of life..

What I feel is..if we take a little time out to understand the intimate

Well ..Gods most beautiful creation is the world we live in and what makes it most beautiful are the people that live in there..Our own people..our own Family..whom we are tied till the roots and even deeper...So we should thank them..For the sense of belonging they gave us,for the security of life they provided us,for making the place where we stay a home where we could come back everyday and rest in peace with the only solace that they are there and we are not alone..They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter..Whatever our opinions are about family..at the end of the day we all need one..Family ties are simple yet they need nourishment care and consideration to make them a fantabulous picturesque..

I am a die hard Daniel Steel fan and so should the title of the article explain.This is an excerpt below from her book with the same name which I liked..

This post on my blog is definitely to all those I call my family headed by my grandpa who thinks I write great stuff and reads them all :)my very family-mom and dad(I draw most of my emotional bonding with people from my dad,he is just like me :)),my uncles and aunts and of course my 3 wonderful cousins ,who are just like my siblings who I share emotional ties with and not to forget my 5 best friends from college who I call my extended family(They never bother to read my blog but still...:))

A heartwarming and happy family is an earlier heaven:):)

Fairy Tale of Failure

I jus sat job less thinking what I would write about when I suddenly remembered the face of the girl that I saw in the bus today who was crying…Quite a depressing way to start with..Well what I wanted to tell is what thought of mine provoked me to put this tale up on my blog..

I attended an interview very recently where the director of a company asked me what would upset me the most …I tried being diplomatic and acting smart answered him that I handle pressures  to a larger extent  and they don’t upset me much..And I am not some body who would let the pitfalls of any form hamper my work in anyways…I did not know then, if or not I was honest but a week later when they called me and said that my profile was not suitable for their job…I got my answer..I surely was upset with this fact that came by and I..definitely did not take it well…I was a little upset and took a break from work for tea..so that I deal with the disappointment..and yes I was upset cos I simply was REJECTED..

This must have happened to all of us that in one or the other sphere of life we were all rejected but we still always have this fear of being rejected or fear of failure in us..Now when this fear or failure is such a detrimental factor..why do I call this story of mine a fairy tale..Cos there surely is a beauty to it..And the beauty is the vast range of lessons this failure taught us..The beauty is the transformation and motivation this failure brought in..The beauty is the mere realization that you have accepted something  and had the guts to appreciate it with grace though you did not anticipate it..though you did not want it..

Now if I look at what was the contribution of a failure to a person..If it was not for the failure, we would not have realized the meaning of struggle ,a niche in giving up and loosing something, we would not have realized who are the real people who actually support us, if it wasn’t for a fallout we would have never known the mere fact that we as individuals could fall down and the extent to which we can deal with those kind of situations..If it wasn’t for a failure we simply would not take our quest for success so seriously..For us, an achievement would then be a mere sweet on a platter that is served to us everyday but a success after a failure is a real fruit to taste..Its a delicacy that adds colors in life..The colors of pride..

The key to success is PERSISTENCE. For

every “no” that you receive there could be a

“yes” just around the corner. Colonel Sanders

 who founded KFC was rejected 1009 times

before he heard his first yes and made it big

with his chicken recipe..He must have gone

through all the turmoil of a failure every single

time..but only to become the most successful

entrepreneur at 65.

http://franchises.about.com/od/mostpopularfranchises/a/colonel-sanders.htm

What is more important is the after life that is followed by a failure…Its really important to keep the other stands and factors constant and untouched despite our own emotional or financial or professional fall out. If a fall out has motivated you to do better and made you a better human being then its appreciable but if you change or transform as a totally different individual then there is threat of loosing your own self which rather is a heavy cost to pay because of a failure..Is it really worth it???I do not think so..No teacher in school, no lecturer in college, no boss in a company, no lover  in teens, no relative  in family can ever rule out or reject what you are or what your capabilities as an individual are..We and we solely assess our caliber and know our potential…and when we know this there is no fear of rejection at all..

We are surrounded by millions of people who keep trying with a never give up attitude..But to us, the inspiration will be drawn from these people only after we faced a so called fall out. And at this point what really helps is that we understand the power of our inner self rather than getting inspired by their stories because - for all you know, your story could be different and also because it is U who has fallen or rather thinks that you fell and also because of the truth that you will answer your questions and help yourself rather than anybody else..It just needs a change in the way you look at it..Rather than feeling why it had happened to you or that you of all the people did not deserve it..Its always helpful to realize what did you do to deal with it..How have you handled it and how many ounces more strong have you become..And that’s how one could make their failure a fairy tale..At least this is what I believe..There is nothing bad in the world that’s created by God..We could attribute a certain beauty to everything under the sun including a failure cos it simply is a lesson learnt..There is no innovation without failure. Failure is not something you avoid!  Its something to embrace..

The Art of Learning LIFE

It might take every one by a surprise that I started blogging but considering the vivid Ideas I always get whether telling my school friends that I would become a journalist or an IAS officer,my college friends that I would become a scientist whether my family that I would become a  Master chef...you all know how unpredictable I always am...It all took me by surprise as I ended up being a so called software Engineer...But nevertheless to say as I look back I really meant all those things I said above but did none...I now call it life's plan,God's destiny to convince myself why I did not pursue those things I believed in...But the fact is I never tried to chase them and make them my reality..

This might be story of millions of us who don't chase their dreams adjust to circumstances compromise with reality with grace and call it their life...But the meaning of life is the power of acceptance...It always helps when once accepts the true facets and facts of their life and make it big in the path they are in rather the path they wanted to be in..I am very sure the people who say I always wanted to be what I am are half lying..But whats important is where I am and How did I reach there...Whats more important is if or not I made an impact, I made a meaning out of the Magnum Opus word called LIFE which definitely is simple if we really make it one..

I considered all possible subjects that I have read,learn t ,heard to write about the first time on My blog,but I realized I should write about the best teacher for everyone called Life...We read inspirational books,quotes for example the write up on Steve Jobs speech,like the article about a magazine Positive plus on AIDS awareness whose editor is a young chennai based Muslim girl Asma Nazeer but what do we do then...Get inspired feel good or proud and keep the feeling within or mostly share with friends...But does that give meaning to what inspired us or the purpose of those stuff that has been written...No it doesn't..We all definitely have a zeal to make something out of the small life small opportunity that is gifted to us. But what we lack- is the word EFFORT.A good book, a great advice by a friend ,an inspirational scene in an movie they are all motivating factors but the sadness is that they only remain motivating...They do not actually become factors that gear up our actions...But not in all cases..I am only talking about people like me who don't let the factors become lessons in life...To become a positive change in their lives..

Its interesting to know something,its even interesting to share something but how interesting is it to do something..Is what many of us feel but must have never experienced the happiness of doing...Its just that we do not realize the potential we have..We are born to do so many things of which we end up to do a single thing or two and call it a life lived...But is it really a life lived???We all know the answers...We adore and admire the so called people who do most of these things and name them Achievers or Winners and just be content looking at them..But we don't take time to think that we have all the abilities they have and we ourselves could be the ones...And WINNERS in my context are not the ones who manage to get on to the front pages of Tabloids or magazines and shoot to fame because of their celebrity status...WINNERS are people who are like any body else with no name and fame but those who people look up to and say that "THEY.... HAVE LIVED".In short, people with a true meaning to life...and with a genuine smile that is derived from the sense of accomplishment of hundreds of  those many things that made others happy..

I am looking at the broader spectrum of the word LIFE...a Big one..A real big one...In all senses...It taught us so many lessons in every sphere of it,every moment of it that we live..it took us up to make us happy,it took us down to teach us the value of Rising after falling down,it nourished us like our mother and what have me made out of it...Did we do something that is worth the word LIFE as big as it is...???For all the Nos to this question...it is never late...LIFE is like our mom and one can always realize its worth..and pay it back..strictly in terms of actions and deeds and not mere promises...

Learning from Life is nothing but turning ones lessons of life  into experiences that build your future and give it a strong basement or foundation...Life is wise and we are all supposed to draw our best from its wisdom and apply it in all contexts..and make most out of it...We face most of our problems because we don't tend to understand the basic fact-Human life is so deep and vast and our Lifestyle simply is not...And the actual bliss of living is in being used up for a purpose that is appreciated by oneself,others and more than anything God..

The title of my B log's first article is again drawn from the story of a kid who draws his inspiration from Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov (In a book written by Josh Waitzkin) but it just was not an inspiration to me..I still remember what I read in it and I started blogging today with it as my first note..The caption was Journey in Pursuit of Excellence...and I leave it to one to define what the word Excellence means.. 

http://books.google.co.in/books?id=aAYcmC-_sM8C&printsec=frontcover&dq=art+of+learning&source=bl&ots=3Kw_EqhDY6&sig=QpnfWm8hf0v0TVCDUTLdmHTzlao&hl=en&ei=-Lg6TZv9JI_QrQe38vDzCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CFEQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q&f=false

I end my article with a sense of hope to improve my next one...to practice what I had posted and with the suggestion to use a problem in one area to adapt and strengthen other areas and give a positive and veracious sense to LIFE..Our constant teacher,our continuous mentor,our incessant journey...

LIFE..Is all about taking chances,about doing something that somebody said you cannot do,its about being goofy,not caring what others think,its about learning to appreciate what we have..That's Life

And here I end my first post dedicating my efforts of blogging to my MOM who inspires me to constantly learn and enrich my life and otherwise...
