Holding Tight

Generation of flowers holding each other tightly, which we humans don't do in our life.

Departure

Here another story of his life have been closed, and his worst fear have come true. He was just hoping a while ago, that his fear should not come true, while watching the setting Sun. But, he should have understood the pattern, which life had shown him in all these years. Life always follows a sequence and it is upto us to understand it. He has always lost the people whom he had loved, but still he went ahead and dared to get close with her, without understanding that he will have to loose her at the end.

He understands that, no matter how beautiful the story is, it has to end. A story cannot go on for ever. But he didn't expected this story to end in such a way. It ended right in front of him and just couldn't stop it. One small message had changed everything, and the moment he received it, he knew, that things cannot be the same again. No matter how hard he might try, it will not change anything, and he realized that life has again won with him.

He just cant wait for the night to fall, hoping against the hope that everything will be normal between them the next day, but it isn't. He is just trying to pacify himself by saying, 'to start a new story the old one has to end'. He knows, it will be very difficult for him to get over it. As somebody said 'Girls cry and just move on, whereas boys don't cry and they live with it'. And he knows, he will have to live with it.

Sunset

It's winter, and the Sun have began to set early than it used to a few weeks ago. He, doesn't want the sun to set so soon, or rather doesn't want it to set. He had always loved this view, and never had enough of this. And with winter approaching, it gives him altogether a different pleasure. The cool breeze, a thin layer of chillness, the birds flying in an arrow shape back to their nests and the splendid view of the Sun, it looks a bit bigger than it used to, always takes him back to all the happy moments he has spent with the people he had loved the most.

He had nourished all those moments very close to his heart, because his life have always been overshadowed by the departure of the loved ones. The evening tells him that he is in love, but he is afraid to believe it, as he doesn't want her to leave. All his loved ones have left him one after the other.

He just hopes, that the new found love should not end like the setting sun and again turning his life into loneliness, but is it really love which he carries in his heart, or is it something he is not yet aware of. But life has taught him to think beyond this and he understands what it is. His mind has always played trick with him, and he thinks this is just another one.

Now, he just wants to drift away from this thought and enjoy the last beam of light which shines just before the sun goes down the mountain. Another day has passed by with her thought flying in his mind, with not sure of what is stored for tomorrow for him, but he hopes he will find the answers and will enjoy the sunset peacefully.

Standing Over

What a tiring weekend had been this till now and when I am tired I like listening to some good songs which have some heavy beats in them, and the one I am listening to is the Theme song of Blue at a high volume. It feels as if it is takes me to a trance mode where I enjoy myself a lot, with my mind relaxing to the music.

This is when, I tend to think about myself and the people around me, and how our life's interact with each others and we carry on with our day to day things. Each people stand at different places, some being very good and dear friends, with some we hold grudges and their are few others whom we don't bother.

The people I hate the most are the ones who always try to Stand Over on their sub-ordinates. We can see these type creatures everywhere, and my office is no exception. And these people make it worse when they call their so called heroic act (cowardliness, for me) as professionalism. I see few of my colleagues who are always being walked over by their seniors and they just don't retaliate.
I remember one golden rule of street fight and I guess it applies everywhere, rule being "Never go onto your back foot, and if you ever go, then hit back real hard". I feel, the moment you let somebody stand over you, it is the same moment you show your greatest weakness.

I would like to keep this short, as I don't want to loose my trance state of my mind as I still want to enjoy some more music. I just want to urge my friends, guys don't let ever anybody to stand over you. One should always fight back, no matter if you fall, you can always stand up and learn, and that is the only way to go ahead.

Cheers!!

City and Town

It feels to be good back to the place where I actually belong, and that is Pune. After two weeks of holidays in my native place in Kannur (a district in Kerala), I realized how much a Punekar I have become, and how much I miss the Pune City. It doesn't mean that I don't like my native place, place where I was born, I like it very much, and the main reason for it, which I believe, is because the place is not a city yet, its just a small town like place. A place where the roads are narrow, a place where you won't find much traffic, not much people with high fashionable branded clothes.

Pune is a place which have always changed with time, and it has always amazed me. The first time I was away from Pune for long, was in 2006 when I had gone to London. Pune did changed in those 6 months, and now I always sense that change happening in the city and I also sense that change creeping into me, which a city does to its own people. But to my amazement, my native place haven't changed, it still looks the same to me. the only change happened are the number of houses which are being bought up people with their hard earned money from the Middle East countries.

I do believe in the changes which a city does to its people, and I have seen that. The people in the city are always busy and does not find time for any body else. The eyes of majority of the people speak the same language, and it tells us that I does not care for anybody else. But you won't find this in a village or in a small town like Kannur (my native). Their eyes are different and they speak a different language, a language which is spoken by majority of the people. Their willingness to help others. I have felt it and can relate it with an example, the way the conductors behave in the buses. It is because of their simple eyes, I guess, I remember the face of every conductors I have in the last 2 weeks, and I dont remember the face of the conductor of the bus in which I traveled from Panvel to Pune. But with said so, I agree by the saying "All five fingers are not same".

But still I love Pune, the Pune city, because the person I have become today is because of the city, but with my roots still finding its way to Kannur. As a person, I would like to keep on changing with the pace of the Pune city and would like my eyes to speak the language of Kannur.

Forwarded Thoughts

Usually I dont check the forwarded mails in my Inbox, unless they are interesting. So at any time one will find 90 to 100 unread mails over there.
Now this is one of the main which was interesting, with beautiful thoughts, and I would like to publish the same in my blog.So this post is for the beautiful thoughts forwarded to me by a friend of mine.

These are few on the age, or getting old.

AGE is mind over matter,

if you don't mind,

it doesn't matter.

You can't help

getting older,
but you dont have

to get Old.

Growing OLD is inevitible,

growing up is Optional.

These are some over Love, love towards friends and family.




Falling in Love is easy,
but staying in Love is
something very special.





Whereever you are
it is your Friends
who make
your World.

Having a place

to go - is a Home.

Having someone

to love - is a Family

Think about Something

This is what I have been telling to myself since last few weeks, and guess what I have not been able to think about anything new. Here, to think about something , means, to just wander the thoughts freely and it should come up with something new and you can build up a story on that thought, or just about some fantasies. My fantasies are weird, sometimes I think, how good it would have been if I had the power to become invisible, or if I could fly around, then even I would have been a friend of Wolverine and joined his community :-)

Many of my fantasies are inspired by movies or tele-serials.By watching the movies, it feels what if I had the moves of Hrithik, physic of Salman and style of the ever green Rajni. Girls would be really dying for me if I have those stuff. It would have been so wonderful.

I have not been able to think about anything in these last few weeks, and thats because, I have been drained out completely mentally and physically, and also I didn't had enough time to do anything else.
Last week started with one of my brothers marriage, as my brother is not around, so I had to attend that, then the next day I could not go to office because of the palkhi, they had jammed the road, but fortunately S came to my place that day, and we had loads of fun. Then next day, I had to go to Panvel to receive my Mom and again on the next day there was some people protesting on the Highway disrupting the whole traffic. So, I took a 4 day off last week.
And this week started with celebration in the office, with the whole Europe team having a 'Mauj Mela' organised for two days, and being a part of the decoration team, had to spend the weekend in the office decorating the cubicles and on the weekdays decorating the game stalls, which went on to collect the highest revenue.

And to the worst part, it hadn't rained here the whole June, which is very depressing. I hope it pours down heavily in the coming week and I would like to come up with something good by next week.
So meantime, I would like to relax and have decided to read a new book which I had bought almost 2 months back and will update on the story once I finishes the book.
Cheers,

Break The Rules!!!!!

RULE - a regulation, a guideline, have always binded ones life. Since the very childhood memories, one can remember, we always live our lives sticking to rules. Rules set by parents, rules set by society and some we don't know who, but they always exists.

Right from the early school days we are told to abide by the school rules. Rules like, we should not laugh loudly, should not talk loudly, will they implant a silencer in my throat to cut down my voice. If a child is loud in expressing himself, he should have the freedom to express himself the way he want. And if the rules are not followed we are marked as B or C grade students.

Cmon its time to Break The Rules set by the School!!!!!

Our society is not far behind. They will have hundereds of crappy rules set, and its really hard to believe majority of them follows them. The worst part is these rules vary from society to society, like people living in middle class locality will have different rules than to those of the higher class. If a guy is talking for long over his mobile phone, immediately people will start making gossips about them, and these can be best seen, where people rent out their homes for clg or IT guys. If one comes home a bit late on friday, its considered to be a taboo in the society. It really doesn't make any sense why people have any objections about this. Specially the aunties of the house. And if we dont follow the rules, we are being treated as the irresponsible people of the society.

Cmon its time to Break The Rules set by the Society!!!!!

The so called IT firms too have their own rules set for people. In one hand they will talk about flexibility on the other hand they have their so called policies which kills the flexibility and the free atmosphere. Rules like wearing formals on a particular day, wearing casuals on some other day, should have Tie on this day. Why do these firms follow the so called western working culture so blindly, though on ground reality we both dont have anything in common.

Cmon its time to Break The Rules set by the Companies!!!!!

It's really big time now for us to Break The Rules, and step outside the cocoon which had been tightely wrapped by the threads of the so called unwanted rules.

Friends - Long Lost One

When ever we say FRIEND our mind instantly run over and try to collect the names of all the good friends we are in touch with. But how often do we think of those people who were our friends at some point of time.

These Friends may be those of our school days, or guys from our old neighbourhood, or from collage or from some other place. But they are all now Long Lost Friends.

The chain of friendship changes, it always does, it happened to me and and I guess it happens with everybbody. Its like when we are in school, we feel that, the entire class is my friend and we may neverloose them, but when we step out of school, we tend to make new friends in colleage and slowly down the line we stop thinking of the school friends and this cycle goes on and on. Same happens when we get into a job and keep switching them, we always have a big list of Long Lost Friends.

If we go through our memories we may definately find many moments of our life where we must have had fun, had fight, had done weird things with these friends but now still they are Long Lost Friends.

And in the long run, we are only left with few handfull of friends, whom we say they are our best buddies and try to forget our Long Lost Friends.

This post of mine I would dedicate to all my Neighbourhood friends, my School friends, my Junior colleage friends, my Engg friends and to all those friends who were part of my life at some moment but now who are my Long Lost Friends.........

Super Star

Last weekend I have seen couple of movies over a DVD and was wondering when we watch a movie what do we really look into an actor, is it an intense acting, or the style of an actor or the combination of both.

But the man I am talking about is all about Style. His style is more powerful than anything else. It is his Style which is being copied across by many stars.

He is really an undoubtdly best actor one can ever see and he is Super Star Rajnikant

The best part may not be his acting, may not be his intense display of emotional roles but what he can deliver on screen cannot be delivered by anyone else and that is STYLE.
The way he portrays his role is beyond imagination.

I was always a fan of Rajni but not that big, but after viewing his few big movies recently, (which included Basha and Padayappa) I realised why people are so crazy about him and why do they idolize him.
What makes him special are his punch dialogue and his style which he displays so effortlessly. No other actor can ever do justice to the role which Rajni does.

One should really be proud to be in the generation of Rajnikant, to see his acting.
He is a Pure Gold who will never loose its Shine and Glitter.

After seeing these mind blowing performances I would really like to pick up few more Rajni DVD's and watch it.

He is truly a SUPER STAR.
