Unfairness:

Chetan Bhagat said “The three things - reasonable goals, balance and not taking things too seriously will nurture the spark in life.
However, there are four storms in life that will threaten to completely put out the flame.
These are disappointment, frustration, unfairness and loneliness of purpose.”

Yeah People, this world, is very mean and at times more cruel than anyone would expect it to be.

Unfairness - this is hardest thing to deal with, but unfortunately that is how our country works.
People with rich dads, beautiful faces and pedigree make it to the high of the higher levels -- unlike the one who looks just ‘ok’ and had born in a middle class family but has got scholarly brains.
Why are such people lagging behind… it’s a universal truth and everyone knows the answer…!!!
But it’s not their fault to be born in a normal family and that they cannot afford things. It’s just fate which landed them up in such a milieu.
So, will such people always be behind the covers? Thinking about fate and crap…?
NOOOOOOPEEE!!!!!
“Guys, fate does not determine your destiny……!” of course I do accept, fate and luck has its hand, but in a smaller part.
I really don’t understand why people say, I leave it to ‘fate’, when they face a high point in their life.
Wake up guys… It’s our problem and we’ve got to solve it and not let the “fate or luck” take its part.
Think, come out with more possible solutions, and narrow down your options. M sure you’ll find a better way outta trouble.
And the best way to handle a mistake or a blunder you’ve done is to take charge of it and it makes your life simpler.
Because you know that you’re responsible for something and you’ll find a better way out of it.

So stop blaming your dads or ancestors for what you are today, cos you are solely responsible for what you are...
If you aren’t that beautiful, accept it and boast about your inner qualities,
Or just be happy that you are just like this, and not imitating anyone else….
And love yourself and your inner being and give a damn about what the world thinks about you.
Cos at the end of the day it’s only U, whose goanna be wit U and not the world.
Wake up, See what are your “pluses” and work towards it, don’t do a job because its fetching you enough bucks, you may be better in something else and that might lead you accomplish glory. It’s just that you have to find out what you want in life and walk towards it.
It might be hard when you begin, may be you’ll face a lot of criticisms and what not, but just tell yourself that you are doing what you like and you are happy about it.
“The sure path to failure is to give up! It is often through failure that future successes come – So Keep Trying and YOUR ASSURED SUCCESS“

Ka Ching

We live in a greedy little world
that teaches every little boy and girl
To earn as much as they can possibly
then turn around andSpend it foolishly
We've created us a credit card mess
We spend the money we don't possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So it's shoppin' every Sunday at the mall
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing--Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
When you're broke go and get a loan
Take out another mortgage on your home
Consolidate so you can afford
To go and spend some more whenyou get bored
All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
Let's swingDig deeper in your pocket
Oh, yeah, haCome on I know you've got it
Dig deeper in your wallet
OhAll we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store
Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
...Ka-ching...

Multi National Company S/w Engineer

For the huge sums one would find in their pay check, every one of us would want to jump in to this kind of a profession.

But what exactly is happening here?

People work 12hrs – 13hrs or more every single day with absolutely no idea what’s happening in the world.People slog for so called deadlines every single day, but why, to keep the boss happy, to keep the Client happy or for the money they are been paid?
No one knows the answer, the only thing they know is “Iv got to deliver something by EOD”

This community knows nook and corner of what’s happening with their application but do they know who won the recent German Grand Prix or what Rushdie’s latest novel is.
Their weekend breaks goes off either by shelling out their hard earned money in a mall or a movie theatre or by sitting in front of the Idiot Box.
What’s the future of these people, work till say they are 40 or 50 yrs old and by then they would have hundreds and hundreds of health problems and end up paying their physician a regular visit and expend their savings.
Let’s forget the few who manage their time and try to balance their personal and professional life. Well “Exceptions are not examples”.

We shall consider the common or the ruling part of the community, people
1. Who do not have time for their wives/husbands or children.
2. Who do not know what a morning walk is or what a healthy and a fit body is.
3. Who thinks spending money is affection or care or love.
4. Who has never volunteered to join a charity organization but has volunteered number of times to fix a bug.
5. Who knows to communicate so effectively with their clients and bosses but cannot do that with their very own parents or spouse or children.
“THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION”
What are people doing here, work for bucks? Work for their satisfaction? Work for the organization? Or for the clients?
If you take a closer look, people are lumbering for some body’s else’s dream to come true. Well, at the same time it is apparently difficult to expect every citizen of the country to be an entrepreneur. But people here can do a lot more than what they are actually doing.
PEOPLE WAKE UP..! U R SLOGGING UR *** OFF TO CHASE SOMEBODY’S ELSE’S DREAM AND NOT UR’S…!!!!!!
Realize what’s happening with you, prioritize your priorities. Let your family be on top of the list and not your work. You’re born in this world to achieve something for your self and not be under some body else through out your life.
Dr.Abul Kalam said, “Dream, dream and dream and convert these into thoughts and later into actions."
So Wake up, Dream, Think and start converting them in to Actions…!!!

Life is not so easy man :

A smooth and steady pace in life with no mishap and no chaos happening around, it was like, I was in the Himsagar express (The longest train in India) which keeps going on and on and on for days. But suddenly there comes a stop – a sudden break half way – and the train takes a big U turn and gets back to where it started. All of a sudden I realize “Man I’m back to square one”, from where I started.

Then reality strikes, after so many days of journey, I realize that I’ve been traveling in the wrong train, all along. What clogged me from not thinking about taking this journey in the very beginning? Yeah, I was covered up with a mass of algae, which blinded my very own eyes and not let me distinguish between the right and the wrong.

People make mistakes, few realize, few don’t and a few take long time. But its goanna be fine unless you realize it some day.

I would like to take a common example or a widespread mistake which most of us do, “Profession” – Choosing your profession, choose what you want to do through out your life. There are only two options, “Either you want to chase your dreams or follow the herd”.
There are too many factors that forces people to follow the flock,
It could be Fear of Criticism by others or
Financial Conditions (fear of not earning enough bucks) or
Being compelled by parents and others to choose a popular trail or
Doubting our own capabilities to step in to the new venture or
Fear of being successful in the new venture
And the list goes on…
So what do we do? Do the same old mundane and crappy job that we never ever wanted to do or chase our dreams and do what we like to do.
Well if you think that you can do it and have enough guts and adequate confidence then go ahead… chase your dreams…

This article does not pertain only to the example stated…There too many things hidden in this...There is very famous Italian proverb “La vita non è tutta rosa”, Means… “Life is not bed of roses”. I strongly agree my friend ‘Life screws you up’, when ever you give it an opportunity. Now it’s up to you to give it an opportunity or hold it on in your hands…!!!

Good Luck Ppl...!!!

I need Serenity

As I sit here and slowly close my eyes
I take another deep breath
And feel the wind pass through my body
I'm the one in your soul
Reflecting inner light
Protect the ones who hold you
Cradling your inner child

I need serenity
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when I thought mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Tragic visions slowly stole my life
Tore away everything
Cheating me out of my time
I'm the one who loves you
No matter wrong or right
And every day I hold you
I hold you with my inner child

I need serenity
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when I thought mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

I need serenity

Chennai is beautiful:

Chennai is more stunning than what it is actually.
For its long beaches, the suburban trains, wide roads, over crowded t.nagar, the bessi, the central station, the Spencer plaza the amazing ECR, the kollywood, rajini, kamal n what not, you name it we have it.

But why do people go boo, when they hear the name “Chennai”
No.1. Heat, oh yeah we agree, Chennai is “Super Hot”
No.2. is it for its cleanliness?
No.3. the kind of people?
No.4. or is there any thing else?

There is this small incident I want to share, I was on my way to my office at around 8 in the morning and I was crossing the Thousand lights subway, I see a old govt. employee cleaning up every single tile in the side walls and I take a few steps further down I see another old lady spit in the very same wall. I immediately burst out asking if she didn’t see the other lady cleaning up. She almost started to brawl, asking why I was bothered and if it was my house she spat in. I simply walked back with an outrage.

But what really is happening here. When will people realize what they are doing to this city? Can we really change the attitudes of people who don’t realize they ought to be keeping there own city clean.

Let’s imagine a Chennai with uncontaminated water flowing in the Koovam River, with more dirt free beaches, hygienic railway stations, etc., I’m sure Chennai will be the most talked about state in the country.

Now who has to take a call, the people who are not bothered about cleanliness or the state municipality corporation or who? It’s still an unanswered question…!

For The kind of culture Chennai has followed, for the number of intelligent brains Chennai has got and for the nature’s gorgeousness, Chennai deserves to be spoken about.
