world ain’t all sunshine !

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!

Today’s horoscope

Friday, Jan 15th, 2010 – Be aware that trickster Mercury is at work during the Solar Eclipse, which can fill your head with unwarranted self-doubt today. You may wonder if your efforts over the past few weeks moved you any closer to your goals. Now that your key planet is no longer retrograde, you should begin to feel more productive and quickly see the results of your recent diligence.

I wish its true ……..

2009: Soon will be “The year goneby”

Sunday 13 December 2009.

1:30 AM,This is what my net book’s clock indicating to me. One more year is on the brink of ending this is what my calendar is trying to say.Very few pages left in the book of the year 2009.Few days left to do the cleanup.Big question is how was year 2009 or what has changed since last year.Life has changed a lot in many respect.

-88 Kg, this is what weighing machines shout at me when I stand at them.10 Kgs addition since last year.

-Addition of Mayank in our life is most important and pleasant one.

-One more processor’s assembly language, satellite communication,Baseband filter chain,C code optimization for ARM processors,3G layer 1 are new additions in my Resume.

-Commuting by company Cab requires me to get up early in the morning.Owning a Car is still Dream.

-New friends for intellectual discussions.New TV shows in must watch list.New movies in favorites.

- Read these books this year : “Go kiss the world”,”Three mistakes of my life”,”Blink”,” How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life”,”rich dad poor dad”,”The secret”

Ongoing: “2 states”  by Chetan bhagat

-More comfortable in office’s socio-political discussions. I don’t try to solve the office Jokes.I don’t treat these Jokes as riddles now.

-Another important change is my personal life is I am more spiritually inclined.More faith in GOD.

-Switched to net book from laptop for my web surfing.Plans are there to buy Nokia N900 once available in India to fulfill my web surfing needs on the go.

-On professional level nothing special happened.I joined an organisation near to my hometown  just because I wanted to be near to my hometown.At this point I can say, that was not so intelligent decision to relocate or probably the decision I should not have taken.I didn’t think of long term professional growth I could have achieved if I had stayed in my previous organisation.So in nutshell,Year 2009 in the end was not exciting if I see it through what I achieved professionally.

Peace

Today..

It can not be better description of today than horoscope i received through mail………

Friday, Dec 4th, 2009 – Relationships may be at the forefront of your thinking now, but it’s not wise to put the needs of others too far ahead of your own. Certainly, there is a place for unselfish acts of love, but there may be something in your own personal situation that needs attention today. If you attend to the basics of your life first, you’ll be able to give someone special a gift greater than just going through the motions.

-Dheeraj

Sometimes……

Sometimes I let my mind to flow in every possible direction.Let it think the weirdest thing it can….Sometimes I dont wanna sleep…Sometimes I give myself a reason not to sleep or probably two reasons…Sometimes I wish ….I wish this hadnt been this way..or probably that had been this way…Sometimes I wish not to learn…learn from the mistakes I did..learn from the acts I should not have done…Sometimes I and only I am there to blame….Sometimes I am not awaken and not sleeping…Sometimes I dont give a hoot to world…sometimes world doesnt give me a damn…Sometimes when  I am alone in the crowd,I pray to god..and sometimes I pray to be alone in the crowd…sometimes I re-read a book,re-watch a movie and sometimes I dont have a time to spare…..Sometimes I  translate a  hindi song to another language just beacuase I dont  have any other thing to write…….

“sometimes a thought crosses my mind, that it could have been possible that my life had been brighter, had it been able to be spent beneath the soft shadow of your beautiful hair…this sorrow, this grief that’s ever hovering over my heart…it could have dissolved into the sparks of your eyes…but it didn’t happen..but it didn’t happen and now my life is so that…there’s no you, neither the hope to get you…my life’s rolling on as if it has no desire for somebody to hold on to…no track, no destination…no sign of light…my life’s wandering in the dark…and lost in this dark I will remain…I know that, my friend…but sill…sometimes this thought crosses my mind….”

No one to blame…

I had plans to celebrate.Plans to relax after some hactic hours i spent.Plans that doesnt turn into reality.No one to blame,i am guilty for this difficulty.

Work-life balance is what i dreamt,but that doesnt seem to be my fate.No one to blame, this is my self chosen destiny i am trying to escape.

Its easy to preach.But at this moment it seems difficult to breach.No one to blame,This is my consciousness of my own identity i am trying to fake.

I am back to square one.Decisive will be time yet to come.No one to blame,This is fear within i am trying to hide and there is no one to guide.

No one to blame,There is no way,i am trying to runaway.

-Dheeraj

Hoping things will be as colourful in near future as this post of mine today is.

 

 

 

 

Reality shows and reality of life !

Since last few days i am spending a lot of time in front of the  TV watching never ending reality shows/talk shows .”Sarkaar ki duniya”,”Big Boss”,”SitaroN ko choona hai”,”perfect bride”,”pati patni or woh”,”tere mere beech main” to name a few.

There are a few quotes from these shows which are making an impact on my mind.such as

1. “Khel ko jeetne ke liye, khel mai bane rahna bahut zaroori hai.”(To win a game,Its important to be in the game ) -Sarkaar ki duniya ashutosh rana tells to his participant
2. “Kisi khel mai meri success koi probability ya sambhawana nahi hoti woh mera faisla hota hai ”.(My success in a game is not a probability,Its my decision).-One guy says to Farah khan in tere mere beech mai

It also made me to recollect some of  the quotes i heard from real people i came across.i jotted them down below

1. When i was child my mother used to say these lines very often “Hoi hai soi jo ram rach rakha ko kari tarak baravahin sakha”.One day i asked her what does it mean and she said ” Every thing happens as per lord ram’s wish”
2. Once you have taken a decision.Respect it,do whatever your heart says is good for you.success is bound to come. (My manager in my last company i worked with, told me)
3. When you go outside the school,life wont be that easy and you would feel like changing yourself.At that moment Do not change youself however adapt youself with the conditions and circumstances (My principal in the school)
4. Diye ki lau ka jalte rahna aur parwano ka mar jana toh tay hai,lekin ye pata lagte hee ki diye ki lau bhi thar-thara sakti hai.HazaaroN lakhoN parwane us thartharati hui lau ko bhujhane ke prayas mai apni jaan ki baazi tak laga denge.(It is sure that flame of the lamp will keep glowing and moths will die but if  moths find that flame can also shiver.Thosands of moths will try unsuccessfully till death to blow out that shivering flame of the lamp)-One of my teacher told me when he was trying to explain me that dont show that you are afraid otherwise people will make you more afraid.
5. Forget the past,be in the present and see the future.(B.mutthuraman CEO of tata steel in one of annual functions of my colllege)
6. Say, there is a stable and there are hundreds of horses in that stable.No horse ever tried to escape the stable.Owner of the stable knows that no horse will ever try to escape.Does that mean owner should not lock his stable ? No ! he should.Similarly in life there are certain things.if you wont do, then also there is no  problem but you should do. -one of my friend told me

Today’s horoscope

Around three years back when i registered myself to a horoscope site.I didnt know that i would be checking my horoscope everyday.And  today i am amazed by the fact that horoscopes i recieve from this site every morning are very true.Exactly what is happening in my life ,in my mind.

Here is another piece of that…..

Monday, Sep 28th, 2009 — You might feel as if your head is coming out of a fog today as the sky clears and you can finally see the distant horizon. This is a day of reconnecting with your mission since your panoramic vision allows you to gain perspective. Don’t be afraid to make choices now, even if you think that you will have to reconsider your decisions in the days ahead, after Mercury turns direct tomorrow.
