A transitional celebration

A year has gone by through various thoughts and feelings passing as wind, skipped through many a heartbeats in excitement and pain, to realize that its a year completed on my blogging, on this very "World's Heart Day".

With purity in heart and determination in mind, lot of learning has taken place. From being a simple and not a very outspoken person, today a change lies in portraying thoughts through meaningful and interesting flow of words. A sense of freedom with responsibility and enjoying the independence is what I see awaiting at my doorstep in the near future.

With new hopes and passion in every heartbeat I welcome this new transition in my life. With happiness and memories to form a part of the most journey of life. Its time to refresh the old uncertainties with new challenges and aspirations.

Procession @ 2.30 am

This is a blog written on par with a blog already written by "Yet another blogger". Dreaming of achieving those things that we could actually get only in dreams, and all of a sudden a whole lot of drums and other instruments reach into your ears, to realize its time to celebrate a holy procession at 2.30 am. Well that was an experience i had last night. It came a shock more than as a surprise.

Flashing lights, crowd of people, security forces, music to the highest extent. Though its said that loud music is not to be played after 10pm, here it exceeded the limit excessively. Prayers and divine rituals come from the bottom of the heart of every individual and i am not sure whether this should go on. Having a great belief in God myself, I did not know how well to react towards it.

Wish that these things do not disrupt the flow of things the way naturally it is.

Retaining time?

Words always don't rhyme, but systematically get fine with time

I was busy hence could not call u back; oops i forgot ur b'day, do these things happen to most of us. Well this may due to the fact, that we keep ourselves so busy, no realizing what we are missing in the due course. The happy moments spent with our family, freaking out with friends to any known or unknown place, being with our loved ones when all they needed us and lot more to go. This is the scenario with the development of life and through our career.

In today's world we talk about retaining the key people in our organization so that wee the maximum growth and make huge profits, talent management is the name. Similarly do we ever try to retain the most essential resource of all "time" for all who are around us? Life has to be equally balanced between the professional and personal life, if one takes over the other, it would truly lead to a consequence most unexpected.

We have to take up this thought before we land in the situation where we think IF i could have taken some time for it. Lets become more practical in life and judge on our priorities. These should not only be focused for short-term, but which would help us throughout our life. Let us look at things more keenly and observe the essential facts. It wouls eventually make us say All's well that ends well. That end should truly come in a happier way without regretting for not haven taken time.

A journey called life....

The small steps with long tears flowing, this is the way that made most of us enter into school on the first day. The moment when our parents had thought, my kid would be a doctor, engineer etc etc. Dreams started building in their minds from our first step itself. Day then onwards more aspirations and inspirations drive us towards achieving them. Life gets it shape and meaning with the most important role played by 'education'

Doing my MBA today and almost close to acquiring that degree too, i traced my life in this journey of moving from high school, to getting graduate and doing my PG today. This thought came up while passing through my school building after a long time. Life has shown all its colours with numerous real and virtual experiences faced during this phase of learning. This education decides on our present and where it would take us in the future.

Education in itself does not mean only what we learn from our teachers, but also from our friends and by others whom we are surrounded by during the whole course of it. A lot of meaning seems hidden in every moment of time that we spend with all. From an immature thinking, on believing all that is told to us, to the flow of logical thinking that builds in us is the real proof of this studying. It holds a lot of importance for me, as it helped my become a more confident and outspoken rather than being an introvert.

This blog can be taken as a dedication to all those who lent their support and guidance to help me reach where i am today. As said the life that is spent while stdying can never come back, I would like to tell all that its been so true of this experience that I wuld never wish that to end. Nevertheless, Enjoy each moment of it whole heartedly. Cheers!!

A dream NOT to come true

It is often believed that what we dream is a part of what we imagine. There may be scenes of action, drama, tragedy, horror and all that u could never figure out u could be. The courage comes in from nowhere to make even a fragile person be as strong as iron.

A dream that i saw last night had a mix of all these. I could play three roles together( I should say it was a movie been seen or acted in), as it always happens in 'reel' life. We were 6 people on a cruise and during the course of it, when things were all going on smoothly, more than a pinch of horror struck upon. As i was about to click a photo, i could see that though there were six people in front of me, through the camera i can only see three of them. This is the point wherein i realized that the other three had already been dead, n they were ghosts.

Things just began to heat up with fear, when the strong waves within the sea began to take its course towards the ship. It could only happen in a dream, where a ship sailed as fast as a speed boat and there is hardly a moment one could think of breathing too. One of the person on board wanted to get a plastic surgery done, and the doctor approached was all friendly. On the rough side, it turned out to be that the doctor murdered the person and threw her in the sea.

These things were being experienced and also as some person telling me about. Characters seemed to be switching over and over again. At the final stage could see the rough waves all coming towards us to wrap us within it. It nearly skipped a few beats in reality too.

To end it with a little humor, it came as " STAR WARS- The End". Out of all things i wondered, why the name was star wars and not "SEA WARS". Another interesting fact was all the people in this were from Hollywood except me being an Indian. The effect was so much that even after getting up, could only think of those faces and waves.

All I could say to conclude it is that "the dream did not end with a scream"

Transforming lives

"Learning has taken over a lifetime, but tried to inculcate it within it".

We are all addicted to something or the other in our lives. It may either be involved in their daily chores, music or adventurous sports etc. One thing that forms a major part in all our lives is the role of media. Media in all forms bring in various dimensions of world's happening at our doorstep.

In the past few days, I have made it a major part in my life and learning too. Though I have always involved it in my day-to-day life. The impact of reading would definitely provide us with information on all aspects and also make us get involved into it. One of the highest prioritized media would be the newspaper. It can never be replaced by any other channel.

The mode of reading will provide us lot of facts and new terminologies to learn from. I have started using my time, which has become a limited resource in our lives, wisely by reading the newspaper. Say from understanding the budget currently, to reading articles on general interest to noting some interesting recipes.

Take your time to definitely enjoy the news from this means, which is more useful and beneficial, outweighing every other channel of communication.
