Break the shackles!!

I have been giving a lot of thought to my goals in life. Somehow the end result is something very green and achieveable, however the path is awfully shady. Why is it that the end result that you desire is something that seems so close , but the path not all that clear? If you could achieve all the goals you set out to achieve I believe that makes you a great person. Obviously I am assuming that one plans to achieve something that is bigger than what one could achieve in a blink of an eye. Accomplishing something worthwhile involves boosting yourself to become a better person and that requires that you find the strength to break the status quo. It could mean that you have to find the strength to break a routine, a habit or even a line of thinking. I myself have found it extremly difficult to rise up to the occassion and change myself to ensure that I accomplish what i had my eye on right from the begining. You have to have the belief that you can break the habit, the routine or whatever you need to rise above to accomplish the task or tasks that lead to success. What follows is mere routine. Once you have the will,determination and courage to believe in yourself , you are already half way there.Braving the odds means endurance to take the hits and keep getting up. There is a popular saying that goes " Stay hungry, stay foolish". Well, I say stay hungry. You got to be quick on your feet and train yourself. Some people have a natural ablity to do it, others develop it over a period of time. You have to trust your guts and take the good and bad that comes along with a step you take. Always beleive that nothing catastrophic can happen no matter what u do. The great Mr. Miyagi said " Know yourself". It is absolutely a must to know what you are capable of and what you are not capable of. Only then can you work towards becoming what you want to become. You need to know what you need to become to accomplish what you want to accomplish. Self awareness is a very important part of improving yourself and equipping yourself with the skills required to achieve something. So its time to break the shackles !! and I am going out into the world to reach those unassailable heights..

Multiple heart failure!!

So, I am back home and its just great. The family, the food and the feel good factor. Simply awesome. I often wonder " is it possible to love more than one single person in your life?". I simply do not have the answer. Do people have multiple hearts that they can give out at their discretion. Once again this blogging thing is just great. Its like talking to myself.Ya coming back to the topic of hearts. If i were to give my heart out to someone, is it possible to get it back in one piece and then give it out again? Even though my past keeps teeling me that there is no way thats possible i guess i simply have to believe that its possible, coz otherwise their wouldnt be any hope and what is life without hope? So i guess the best way to answer a question is by asking yet another one. zdo i regret giving out my heart? No not once. I just dint count on it being smashed to pieces and i never saw my life turn out the way it did.but i guess that why life is a thrill , a challenge and fun at the end of the day. So i say bring it on!! Im ready.. Yeah!! Woohoo . There are just so many things that i still have to do in life. Under sea diving is one of them. I have always wanted to go deep inot the ocean and have fun swimming with whatever it is that i will find out there. I am really proud of what i have accomplished over the last 3 years. I have been exemplary at work, made some great friends along the way. Ive never felt so at home like i did during my stint at the backbay office.Life in college was a fairy tale and its about time to wake up from the dream and turn it into a reality. So here i go!! See u there life!!

Muddled Thoughts.. a new life begins

Packed my bag and all set to begin a new journey in my life. Yes! I am moving back to mundra after 7 months in Mumbai. Is the fact that it’s my birthday tomorrow symbolic of my new beginning? Ah well I am going to leave it at that. So I’m finally turning 24, and wow I can’t believe that I’m 24 already. The years seem to have just sped by. Where am I in my life right now? Well I don’t know for sure. Let’s see, my career is going on ok, my love life is virtually non-existent and I find myself in a position where I am incapable of loving anyone but myself. I guess that what remote places do to you. You tend to become all withdrawn and shielded that you stop letting anything come in. Usually whenever such fleeting thoughts come up I just ignore them and sleep it off. Why am I taking the trouble to write them down? Well someone at work once told me that if I pen down everything then I would be able to trace the path my life had taken. So, I thought I will give it a try, and yes I love writing even though I ain't too great at it. It kind of makes me feel that I speaking to my closest friend. Ah finally the hour is upon me, finally I am 24. What do I expect this year? Well for one I would start this year without inflated expectations. Secondly I think that this year is the one when I would reintroduce myself to human emotions. I think I have been living the life of a robot and have tried to cast aside all the minuscule details that can be classified as human emotions. I don’t know why but I remember a poem by Sylvia Plath, I think it’s called "tulips”. It’s a weird poem to remember at this juncture coz the poem goes on to speak up how she hates the colour white as she associates death to the colour white. I don’t know whether my situation can be compared to that of the poet, but its similar coz both involve the lack of any emotion. Well that going to change from now. I solemnly swear that I will be up to no good. God!! Now I think of harry potter. Seeing as muddled as my thoughts have become I think it’s time to call it a night and wish me good night. Bye.

Back to square one

Something that we all have heard a lot is that the only thing constant in this life is change. Yes, change. Just looking back at the last few years of my life this statement becomes blatantly obvious to me. Just about a year back I was in a very happy relationship with my sweetheart thinking that “Yeah! This is the life”. Who would have guessed that the one person whom I loved the most would stop even acknowledging the fact that I exist. Yes it’s a sad thought, but that’s just the way is. I wish I could make things right, but I cant. So what is the point of me writing down all this? I am doing this just to organize my thoughts and so that I can get a move on with my life. I have to concentrate on what’s positive and happening in my life right now. There is no point in thinking about what is not. Firstly I am working with the largest private power generation company in India. So professionally I am ok. Now coming to my personal life I am a witty, fun and compassionate person. So yeah I am good to go.

At times just penning down stuff like this relaxes your mind to the extent that you feel like going and sleeping. To cut to the chase – Life is about the here and now. Live in the moment. You can’t manipulate life. It manipulates you, so as long as you are alive enjoy the ride. Develop tastes; learn to enjoy the small things in life. See what works for you. It will take time, but you will get there. Hold a friend’s hand if you need at least till you get back to that happy place in life.

Cheers!!

Strength of Character

When your mind is muddled with a billion thoughts and when nothing around you makes no sense it is very easy to make stupid choices. Strength of Character is what I am talking about. Not everyone has it, but anyone optimistic covets.Strength of character is nothing but taking a stand and sticking to it regardless of the opposition you face thereafter.

They say that man is a social animal. Yes! he is, but that does not mean that he has to go with the flow and do any and every atrocity there is to be done. According to me atrocity is not just not what is conveyed in the dictionaries, but it is every single action that you take which eventually hurts another individual.Everyday over a billion atrocities are committed and very often even a single atrocity committed hurts someone else more than once and in some cases it for an entire lifetime.What of that ? Can it be quantified? No !! Obviously not!!

The point I am trying to make is that when the whole world around you tells you that your wrong, take a minute and think it through and then if you are able to explain your stand with any logic you have and deep down you know that you are right then from that moment on stick to it. If you are able to stick to it no matter what kinda crap is thrown your way by the rabble,friends and even family then that my friends is what Strength of character is. It is this Strength of Character that defines society. Not too many people have it and it is those select few that are capable of setting paths. No decision or thought is ever right or wrong. All morals,values etc that is deemed right in today's world are considered right because of the strength of character of some in the past.

Trying to live your life trying to be someone your not is foolishness.Be yourself however weird you are, but yeah remember " atrocity" . I might sound like a Hippocratic right now , but I am confident that you can use your common sense in judging what atrocity means.

You were created unique.. mediocrity is not for you.

Cheers!!

Incomplete

It has been a really really long time since i have written anything even though many a time i have wanted to ramble on and on.Today I have decided to overcome my laziness and give writing one more chance.
Today i was thinking about charity.I earn a little more than 20k a month.How do i help my society? I was on the way to this English movie at New Theater... Ah i forgot the name.Its got something to do with Aliens who are so brainless that the actually come to earth to kill us.Little do they now all they require is patience.Very soon all of us will die.. there will be no more births. Ha ha Im not saying its the end of the world or anything but.. You never know.The entire population might become impotent for all you know.Excuse my attitude.. but my head is really splitting and my eye is infected.I need rest, but since i have decided that i would get over my laziness i shall write.. write till i drop.
What do most of us do when an auto driver demands more money than he should? We get into small tiffs and do high level bargaining for 1 or 2 rupees.Do we even think about the fact that the dude is so poor that he is not paying income tax? Does that extra 2 or 5 rupees make us very poor? Obviously not otherwise i am sure we would be the ones driving the auto.
Why not give the auto drivers a little extra.. I am sure that will help atleast 20% of the auto drivers to become richer and our country would become a little more prosperous.Ha ha then who will drive the Autos...

PS: This is just bulshit...
