Focus- Confusion Applenty

The present day folks irrespective of what generation they hail from stress on the point Focus. A vision in life is always the need at any time and at any instant for you to taste the dream word named Success.

I personally believe it all depends on what we limit to as success. Some people might be satisfied landing into a job and just taking care of their kith and kin. Some might aspire the level of becoming like one of their role models and never rest until it is achieved.

The list goes on and on and on..

But what surprises me people is the sacrifices one makes to reach that goal. When our focus dwells on achievements we loose our relations and when we have time for relations career is in for a toss. Where and when and how to give priority remains a queer statement waiting to be tested.

Is the topic appearing weird? Changes are always at the writer's will waiting to be enforced.

My dad used to tell me the importance of a vision. Work on a goal and then you should rest. Sadly all my visions have lasted for short times. I had a vision of becoming a Sachin at the age of ten. My coach went mad over my exhibition of cricketing skills, he quit the job immediately.

Focus and work- then you will achieve.

I tried my hands on basketball and given my height I was envied. Things took its shape and lack of people to drive ended the tenure. I tried my hands on Badminton, Table Tennis and many games. Then figured out to play sports there was something needed much more than focus. That was stamina.

Studies, no other go had to become my focus. Driven from entire peer pressure I managed to scrape through.Now placed in a company thinking, no more studies is required, comes the finalle. 

I need to study loads to stay in this particular job. "Aww.... !!", where should the focus be?. Studies or job. At-least in school and College I had friends to give company. But here all is in for a toss. And they say, still stay focused, you can really scale heights.

And at the end I have entered the blogging world!! Oops!!.. What does this require to sustain, remain focused, and to achieve.

P.S- Confusions are aplenty regarding this writing. But still it was worth the try. Think on the title. Hope you will stay confused for at-least a moment.

The Humor Quotient

Experiences of people trying to crack jokes fades away in air with hardly no reaction from the audience is something that's not new to one and all. Just turning back on our own experiences, not all our humor tries have been a hit, but one or two rarely without our notice comes to limelight. Confused about what the writer is talking about, is the subject "The Humor Quotient".

Once I had myself placed in an elderly gang, guys of the age 30's and me in my prime 20's. There was a range of discussion going on, me hardly trying to have a say. I started observing each folks and noticed a senior member keeping calm. Assuming him to be a reserved guy but brilliant as his looks portray him to be. The topic revolved around girls and ragging during college time. The discussion came to a halt all of a sudden and here entered the senior guy.

"You know what, I ragged a girl and it was much fun. I gave her fifty paise and made her buy a chocolate and she bought it for me. Interesting girl she was", he blurted out laughing. All the other guys joined the laughter making me wonder whether the topic was really on ragging.

Giving a talk about a topic is something complex within itself. To an unknown audience they say the theory of "Ice Breaker", which literally means to get to know the audience better in the limited time. The best method to implement this to the fullest effect is to crack a joke, expert's advice.

Happened to sit in one such workshop on Water treatment, the speaker a gigantic figure happened to precede over it. The talk commenced, " Water is the most essential component in our daily life. Even without food we can manage but water cannot be done so". I had a skeptical idea about his saying. "If water is wasted then it is an error. He scribbled on the board,

                                                                     Before Treatment: (Wat.(Erorr)..).
                                                                     After Treatment:    (WatEr).(orr)

So that is the effectiveness of the treatment". The audience gave a huge round of applause for bringing the point of the entire session in a jist, so easily comprehendable. The audience all had a glass of water in front of them and some randomly had a sip.

The speaker continued" Now the water in front of you, which you all drank is not treated. But if you use our system we can assure it will be hundred percent pure".

There was a range of coughs and vomits when the speaker cleared his throat and said "Just Joking".

The rest of the day I feared to have a drop of water in my place.

The effect of Humor Quotient is very unpredictable. Never do we know where the joke we intend to crack, will land us in.
That comes to an end of a post.
Phew! Managed to write onepost.

P.S. Hope there was enough content in this article to make you sleep. Will update one more before you all wake up. Until then Stay Tuned. (tried to crack a joke do smile!!).

The Shopper

Hello folks. It has been a while since writing a post in my blog. This time I am with a topic, something general and an experience which I had in the recent days. Frankly there are two kinds of shoppers. One kind, is where people have abundant money and purchase. The other kind, don't have money but have a glance as to how much they need to earn to purchase the item.

I belong to the later category. This was the predefined notion with which I approached my first shopping stint, with enough bucks and having an eye on and only on discounts. The happening mall at the Chennai city, was my destination. All brands from Allen Solly to Arrows were on display with discount up to 50 percent. I smiled to myself thanking the heavens for such an offer in front of my eyes. "I am ruling the roost today", thought I.

"Sir, Actually the collections to your left has 50% discount the rest the market prices", replied the sales guy there. Bewildered I looked at the collection there and hardly ten pieces were available. My annoyance knew no bounds.The shopper's first stop was not up to the mark. "So what?", though the shopper, there are so many stores.

Some five stores had gone by, like this taking an hours time. Body cramps started taking its toll. "Look, I know your sales manager of this particular store and he told there is an exclusive discount for me. Kindly check and tell me how much discount can you provide. I am your VVIP customer", A guy was arguing with the shopper, giving an expression of utter belief. I thought it as a technique and had an idea to try it in another store.

Choosing an item, having a 40% off and trying to push it to 50%, I signaled a sales guy and remembering the method, " Is there only 40 % discount can you push it to 50%. I know the sales head of your store". "Sir I am the sales head of the store!". Then I happened to check out the name of the store and replied " Sorry, wrong store,anyways nice meeting you." I managed to escape the scenario. Phew!!

Three hours have passed and I managed to buy couple of shirts and a pant managing a discount overall. I managed to smirk, "dude you have got something now head home", and off I flew to show my mom and dad the collection.

"You already have one of those, Why did you buy the same color. A very worst shopper you are. Next time take someone else for shopping, else you will waste money".

Five hours of effort, yielded me this opinion. I concluded, Shopper's how do you manage Shopping!!

The AfterMAth

"That's It, That's It, That's It!! The rope is tied perfect to my waist. I can manage the fall. How much weight can it withstand?" "750 Kg I think. You don't worry brother. the rope is tied to the pulley perfectly and the full setup is foolproof. You need to take a very rapid stride and at the edge, fall from this building. You can do it. I trust you for this stunt, wait for the signal". "I got to do it", I told myself. The signal beeped. I took a big stride, leaped and made a dashing run to the edge of the building and fell...

"OUCHHHHH!!, You are one big moron you know that", my friend growled. I woke, "what have I done?". "You imagined your supernatural character and tried to imitate his stunt as a result you fell down from your bed. That's why I told don't sleep in the bed specifically to you." My friend wore a sober look. "I uttered a mild apology". "Please move away from me at least now and show me due concern, I weigh just 62 kg, whereas you are close to 100".

 The aftermath is something that happens after an incident has occurred. It can be named as the repercussions.Imagination of supernatural spaces, unimaginable thoughts of stunts happen and only happen in our mind. Sometimes the brain is the biggest of biggest wonders in this world. How much it can think just leaves one dumbfounded. Imagining we doing a space trip to Saturn planet and getting involved with the best of researches and findings, can only happen with the help of our brains.

But the only concern is we are terribly unsure when and where our brains provide us these imaginations and moreover what kind of imaginations. A fifteen member team, were sitting round a table with our boss explaining the model for a particular scenario. It was kind of a high level meeting. "And so that's the way the model works. It is very easy and simple from the outside, but I need a team dedicated to run the show and mind you it is very complex. It is not so easy as you all think..."

Brain told me"dude this chap is really boring. What about transporting you to the world of Batman, impressive right". "No, No, No, don't do it he is already terribly pissed off with my attitude and anything from now he will fire me for sure". "
"Hey brother relax, I am your brain two minutes of batman world won't do much harm. This chap will go on for the next half an hour. I don't want you to get dozed off."
"Fine then, but provide me with pictures as to how it would be if batman travels the full of space the universe. and goes to all planets".
"You are one complete man, always want to go away from our earth. Wait I will provide you the batman suite, you can team up also with the witty 'Iron Man' guy and go round our planet".
"But the boss is explaining something".
"Do not worry we can make it by the time he finishes".

And so there I was, with the complete gadgets of the batman. Whoa!! you are amazing. What a way to dress me up and here I go, and took a giant leap down the building headfirst and.."
"BANG!!" my head ached. "What happened?" thought I. My head hit the tabletop. I have literally 'DOZED OFF'. And coming back to my senses. "Where Am I?"

"It is not important to know where you are? The end result is what maters". replied my Boss.
"YOUUUUUU AREEEEEEEEEEEEE FIREDDDDDDDDDDD".

That's The Route

To get a route when we are in Chennai, the best ever people to be enquired upon are the Auto-Rickshaws. Those are the real class of people who are ready with an answer, for every route related questions posed to them. The irony is even if they don't know still they would manage an answer. I had an experience with them in recent times.

To any place we travel, one should always have enough details,as to where he is heading to and what information he requires in order to reach there. These are the basic prerequisites one would be expected to possess. Sadly a big thanks to the government of TN frequent power cuts, made me end up as a bait to all the above criterions.

Thoroughly exited upon the fascinating idea of meeting the members of the "Chennai Bloggers Club" (knwon as CBC), was I, on a very pleasant Sunday evening, the location named as the Broken Bridge. The run up to the day was so exiting that made me forget the area of the location, rather I just remembered the name. Fine I am a chennailite, can easily figure it out. Or even more if Sunday noon I log in and browse Google maps, I can find out where the location is. Lo Behold.! The power got cut.

Scheduled the meeting at 4 P.M in the evening, I started Fifteen minutes prior to the scheduled time. Such was the confidence on my driving skills, when I realized, I didn't know which area was it in. "OK, I can find out with anybody whom I meet". My first person was an Auto Rickshaw guy.
"Sir how to go to Broken Bridge Adyar?" Guessed it would be there.
"Do you know how to go to Adyar?" I realised I framed the question wrong.
"Sorry, Do you know where Broken Bridge is?"
"Beasant Nagar"
"Thanks"

Off I flew, "see it is very simple to find the route, man I know chennai". Thus was my thinking, until I reached Beasant Nagar. "Ok now where in Beasant Nagar", thought I. Another auto rickshaw guy happened to phrase it in a beautiful way.
"Sir, You need to go straight, then take the left, then follow the road straight turn no where, you will reach a rountana turn right, go straight, there will be a bridge that is the bridge there is no other bridge."

Thanking him, I somehow managed to reach the bridge. "Oops I don't have any CBC members in contact".
Midst these thoughts, I reached the place, but it had no relation with the name Broken Bridge. It was perfectly painted and upon it was embedded "Thiru Vi Ka Bridge Welcomes you" Well Probably another name I said to myself.

I called up my long time friend Mythri, who introduced me to this club. After warm greetings exchanged,"Hey, I guess I am at the Broken Bridge and don't have any contact of the persons, coming for the meeting can you forward me to them?". "Yeah Sure, there is a person named Jothi Vel, who is the coordinator, I will give you his number. By the way, you found out broken bridge eh good man".
Adjusting my voice and proudly said,"Hey, yeah there is only one bridge in Beasant Nagar and that is the Thiru Vi Ka bridge. So it was quite easy.."
Mythri intercepted" Thiru Vi Ka bridge eh Hari, you are in Adyar."

Jothi Vel immediately came to rescue soon after the conversation. A beautiful guide to the place made me reach at exactly 5 P.M. "Just an Hour late", thought I. Well there was the team, Mr Jothi, Mr. Harish, Ms Bhagirathy Samudram who introduced herself as Rathi, Ms. Bhavia Velayudhan, Sunder Rajan , Harsha 'Mariner', Mr. Vinod Velayudhan and Mr. Sahaya Joseph. After quite a laughter upon my experience in finding the route, it was really great to be with the team.

Bhagirathy, who had a great knowledge and interest in history of India was the highlight, en-lighting me  on the real incidents happened. It had me wonder her knowledge on that subject. All the guys were awesome and this was sure an one off meeting.



Vinod was a professional photographer and so was Sahaya. "Wow, that really sounds awesome. I sure ought to have one good display picture in FB for myself." thought I.
Well Jokes apart, this was really a very good gathering and the time spent was indeed beyond explanations.
And as Sunder had put it out in his status, "Though the bridge might be broken, it sure provided the platform for the beginning of our friendship". That was really a good thinking. And indeed "That's The Route".

P.S: Vinod I am sorry to use this picture of yours without your permission.My apologies.

Note: There were Five instances of power cut, before I could finish this piece of writing.
          All hail Govt. Of TN.

An Ode To Friendship


To all my fellow buddies, I am definitely sure the very thought of the word "Friend" would leave you imagine many things. But when you guys are asked for a description about them, we can just not start but wonder,  as from where to start and from where to end. Such is the beauty of Friendship which we share with our fellow persons. According to me, friends are a group of people, rising from various walks of life, gathered together as a unit, to deliver a relationship that is just beyond expression. Hope I have managed a definition.

Assembled together are we, to do the most silliest of things. Right from putting our dad's signature in the report card to bunking a class and supplementing a convincing reason for the same, everything is done under the name of friends. I had this crazy friend of mine who used to make our entire gang unite and catch up for a night show when the same was prohibited by our parents. The most comfortable people you can be with after doing the most craziest of things is among friends. 

 Why the writer took on friendship suddenly, and writing so much of emotional stuffs would be a doubt that might rise. Everything that we do are a form of inspiration obtained after seeing many incidents happen. You have no words to express but just share the incident occurred to your fellow mates. 

There was once a guy in the crowded metropolitan city. He grew up with the city becoming his native. This guy was never choosy among people and treated all the fellow buddies at the same level. He always used to crack jokes, fun unlimited was he.

Having said these, the so named 'guy' according to the traditional society policies, managed to pass out with a degree and find himself with an handsome software job. With an amazing bunch of freshers surrounding him, he really loved the environment and the friendly nature of his helped him move through the bunch with ease. Having found a settled life, and things perfectly placed this guy happened to stretch himself comfortably when situations took a dramatic turn.

A sudden change in the company policies led to finding himself getting acquitted from the company. Giving a minimal compensation, was he thrown out making him gape at the new turn of events. Still he firmly believed there is some life left for us and we will still make it big in this  mad world.

The friends whom he got close with had words of inspiration, shared his sorrow but soon everything seemed to fade. The guys whom he was closely in touch with now seemed a distinct cry. The thought of being deserted cribbed him. He doubted the category of people, but they revealed under a specific day, just to show him what friendship was.

After a gap of 3 months, an important day in the guy's life came. The progress to the next age. Being out of touch he hardly expected anybody to wish him. There was only one friend who was in frequent touch, and he happened to be his company mate. So organised and planned was an unprecedented invite that made the lonely guy turn up-to the doorsteps of the company.

Lo, Behold!!. There was a huge cake in front of him and all the mates who he missed thoroughly was there in front of him wishing him happy success. That guy was floored completely and couldn't help but give a very broadest of smiles ever that could never fade. A remarkable and the most memorable day in his life it happened to be, he just threw himself off and joined in the ultimate company his friends provided.

What really has happened was the friends had a track of what the guy was doing and seeing an occasion to have a reunite, especially for him. They devised an extravagant plan and wished to surprise him on the particular occasion. They made a reason, brought him to the company and in front of him was a huge gathering. The gathering the guy totally missed. Everyone was there. 

The guy happened to be the writer and even today, he is very much swept off his feet. This is just a dedication to friendship. Only friends can plan an extravagant event for any person. They value the qualities of that person and that really is a tribute to their relationship.

Dedicated to my friends. You are the best buddies god has given me. HATS OFF!!

The Licence- An Inevitable Experience

Most of you would have had a varied experience on procuring a licence under the nose of government officials.One could never imagine but wonder, how getting a signature of the concerned person on the sheet ,be so difficult.

Being guided by the driving school, I was thought certain mannerisms upon meeting the official. My first advice was salute the official with 'Good Morning'. The salute should not be ordinary, rather in an attention seeking pose and the right hand kept well stiff, raised well high above the shoulders. And to give a handshake only when the official nods at you. "Fine but I am here to learn car driving but I see no car here", was I thinking when the trainer interjected , "don't worry the car is on the way, till then learn and practice these". How come he understood my thoughts was my second wonder.

The trainer brought the car and learning started. Made me to sit in the drivers seat of an ordinary "Santro", for the first time, gave me the impression of sitting into the worlds fastest car "Bhugatti Veyron" . Wow, what a feel I was on cloud nine, when the trainer mentioned, "the car is very old so please do use the clutch and breaks properly". With a silent nod things started, when I realized the usage of gear and steering were never in synch. Either I miss seeing the road while I use the gear or vice-versa. The fifteen days training sessions came to an end leaving me gasping. Is car that difficult to drive.

My trainer said "After a two days  break you have the licence test and do report by morning 9 at this place.
We will do a practice and then head for procuring licence.And remember the lesson on saluting the officer."
"Ok Officer", was my thinking. Phew, I think so I have mustered the courage to drive a car.

The day dawned, making myself get up early and rehearsing the good morning stuff in front of my dad. He really gave me a scornful look pitying his son's efforts to procure a licence. Midst all these I reached the center on time. Getting a quick practice with trainer's repeated instructions on rules to be followed I reached the Test drive place.

It was an unusually crowded place, and in the center was there a big space for both 2 wheeler and 4 wheeler  vehicles to be driven. The officer was about an hour late and the scorching heat really drained me. Atlast the officer turned up and he was followed by a big gathering. Not even Superstar of Tamil cinema would have this entry.Above all my doubt was when I should salute 'good morning'. Or should it be 'good after noon' rather.

Turns started and each one performed to the best of ability. One guy fell down unable to lift the 2 wheeler, was given a skeptical look from the officers end and the gathering present. The result was quite obvious.
When everything got over the car driving took place, and "Lo Behold!" till now I practiced on a Santro car but I found out I need to drive "Maruti800". A man 6 foot tall, wouldn't get a better punishment than this.

Praying to lords I got in and told a polite Hi to the official sitting besides me. "Start" growled he. Trying to put the first gear and releasing the car jerked off and stopped. So sudden was the jerk that the official got hit on the front glass pane. "What did you do? One more chance, If you flop I will never allow you to sit for licence", he growled beating the best of forest animals available.

Hands wet I grabbed the gear applied and in full swing was on. My legs at the clutch end shivered and came to a halt upon the signal. He gave me a skeptical look, but passed me in the test. Wow, I really got the licence thanked all the gods above present and the happiness knew no bounds. Even clearing an entrance exam wouldn't have given me such happiness.

Phew! what a day. Hope this day would be inevitable in everybody's life.

Redeem... !! BEAM.. Way To Goooo....

Nothing is ever considered, lost till their is one person left, to go for it. We think twice, thrice , tense we are, but the situation is anyways going to pass. So why can't we gather instincts to deliver at the first instant.What is that we lack at the very first instant of delivery. The 'Imagination' doubts itself.

To the puzzled readers out there, I am Imagination. My presence is felt by everybody who can think. I differ from my brother 'Dream' by just appearing to a person who is awake. Cutting short to an introduction about myself I am held at high esteem by learned people, scholars and many other guys who have achieved variety of success.

Albert Einstein quotes "Imagination is more important than knowledge". 

 These are the quotes by people who have scaled a peak. Threw open a different gate, by using me. But compared to the billions of billions out there, I hardly see only some have used me to the fullest. A sad comment in and on itself. Where is it that most of the people have used me wrong. Did they imagine they could do anything, thereby ending up, doing nothing. My personal experiences with people who I encounter use me as flashes, appear hardly for couple of minutes and "Bhoom..!! Vanish". They get back to their usual routine. Some people really think well, but circumstances make them force me to fade away from their lives.

People out there never know how I might materialize, but that doesn't mean I can be stopped, ain't it guys. On one of my experiences with great Sir ISAAC NEWTON behind the theory of gravity was the great story of  fall of an apple from the tree. When he saw the apple had fallen from a tree he observed yes the apple had fallen from a tree. Upon a quicker second instant look, Oh My.. the apple had really fallen from the tree. "What made the apple fall from the tree", He thought. He then used me to set up the great fundamental concept. That became the base for a revolution of achievements.

Whatmore, I empower creation, my inputs just inspiration. Couple of failures should never affect you guys out there. Think twice, use me once again. Extend the horizons. I will never be visible to you but that doesn't mean I am not with you.

                       "Redeem..!! BEAM.. Way To Gooooo..".

A Day in my life as Sherlock!!

It is not really new for majority of the people to get inspired by characters from the reel life. All class of people starting from children to the old age tend to imitate thereby making them wish their real life was ever reel. I am a guy no different from the majority.

The inspiration behind this writing is surely attributed to the recent release of Sherlock Holmes movie series. A spellbinding movie really made me use Holmes gestures on an entirely different plane. Whenever I walked, hands were held behind and the ordinary clothing of mine represented a picture of Holmes suite. This was the power of my imagination, upon which I stood, in front of my Girlfriend.
"Hello, Darling, good to see you. Did I make you wait for a long time?". Seeing the look on her face, her eyes red due to constant rubbing of dust or crying perhaps, the skin under her eyes slightly black, her hair messed up a bit, just indicates she has been waiting for a long time. Her fists tighten grip, I can presume she is about to slap, best defense available, bend down else your cheek is gone. Brother BEND quick!!..

KICK.. "Ouch I never expected that..". "You are late by an hour. Did you realise that?". "That's cool, but girls generally slap, my goodness you are very different", I retorted. After a slight pause I get the reply, "Honey, you are not the only one to watch Holmes movies."
I can never imitate Sherlock.

Such is the effect of imaginary characters who make us feel they are real. We end up imitating them in our daily work thereby visualizing it to have the same extravagant effect.

Upon getting hit, my next stop happened to be with my boss. Walking along the bay, I really admired the construction of Corporate offices, especially mine.The office is pretty huge but the allotment of seats for the employees is significant in its own way. For example my seat is at the rear end of the bay while my boss finds himself at the other extreme.Whenever he needs clarification he calls me and the frequency increases every couple of minutes. I end up reducing lot of weight in this process. Supplementing the cigarette pipe is my pen which seemed to taste better and better as I approached the meeting room. Remember I am Sherlock Holmes at the moment.

Glued to the laptop screen, he sees me entering with the corner of his eye. With a silent nod, I took over my position. Waiting for the conversation to commence, I simply glanced over the room. Quite a small well lit room, but enough to accommodate couple of persons, the air surrounding us had a sniff of suspense.Without knowing for what purpose I was summoned, the imaginary character came into play. What is he working on?.Is it regarding my feedback. There were some rumors doing the rounds, or was it regarding my appraisal, or was it regarding my leave which I have applied for. Why is he gazing so deeply into that small screen. Let me interrogate him with brilliant questions and corner him, the Sherlock Holmes style. Twenty minutes have gone by without a word. Midst all the thoughts he clears his throat and asks 
"Do you know anything about connectivity?".
Puzzled upon the question I requested for an elaboration.
"For a long time the internet is not getting connected. Can you solve this for me."
"Yes, sure, the internet cable is not connected to the laptop. Please do connect it."
Is this what you called me for? Oh my, There is no use imitating Sherlock.

Gadget.. Yeah I Am.. ;)

     The media had me different, the gadget freaks had me different, the critics were beyond imagination, the competitors sued me for copying their idea, the commoner's perspective was difficult to predict, among all this have I survived as one of the most thinnest of smart phone available. Hello readers my name is "IPHONE 5" a product of the APPLE IPhone series succeeding my brother IPhone 4S.

Having a thickness of 7.6 mm I stand close to Oppo Finder an another smart phone series which measures a thickness of 6.65 mm. You guys would have gone through my reviews done by many experts, ratings provided by many onlookers, and my biodata cum family history so deeply scrutinized by the famous website Wikipedia. To all the guys a hearty thanks since when I stand in the market every report speaks for itself apart from me who is yet to open my mouth and say a Hi to the media guys. Not to worry it will be a quick Hi and won't be a big talk upon my minute features which I myself not much aware off, as is the same case with humans who cannot describe their own body parts in detail.

To begin with I would like to convey my condolence to the late Mr. Steve Jobs who was the sole inspiration behind my family evolution the APPLE IPHONE Series. Without Sir Steve Jobs I wouldn't be standing in front of you guys with heads held high and the whole world looking upon me with a sense of excitement and wonder. Having said that I would like to start upon the difference between my brother IPhone 4s and me, oh my I am entirely different starting from height and weight dimensions to the Sim card details. Taller and smarter have I become, the display of mine has gone to 4 inches compared to my successor with a high resolution. My internal memory capacity has been increased to 16/32/64 GB and a RAM of 1 GB which is double that of my brother.

What more, I offer you a better sensitive touch screen and the 'face time' camera features of mine are better than my predecessor. A more comfortable usage and delightful features mark my presence in front of you guys. To see more about my features and major statistics just browse my official website and you would find it in just a jiffy. A visual, stupendous and an extravagant treat I am here to offer and I am readily available in many of the retail outlets. So what waiting for folks. Just drop in,buy and enjoy the entertainment I offer, before I am succeeded by the next of IPHONE Series. Hoping to see you soon it is me the IPHONE 5 bidding bye for the moment. PIP-PIP.

Crap.. I Wanted It To Happen The Other Way!!

   Walking on the platform of the most busiest of streets in Chennai, one can hardly guess which street it might be though, at the moment leads to PondyBazzar. Festival time or not this street is more pedestrian traffic prone rather than vehicles. It so happened a purchase I wished to make, a T shirt, that took nearly half a day exhausted my strengths when suddenly a girl clad in white Chudidar happened to pass on the opposite lane. "Hey I know her" was my minds recollection, quick cross the road, was the instruction from my head, meet her and say a "Hi". Amidst all the instructions, "Hey Son, How are you? what a pleasant surprise? What are you doing here? How big you have grown now?...". "Oh.. H..i.. um.Hello Aunty. It is really nice to see you." Crap I Really Wanted It To Happen The Other Way.

Barging in on the most opportune moment in a person's life is a way within itself. One can never predict but just sit and wonder as to how both the instances present itself at the same time.I do not know whether these type of incidents happen in other people's life, but it is a common feature in mine.

The most impressive of all is at the morning of an examination. Five important points to be revised. Just before entering the exam hall and barely 5 minutes before the commencement, "Hey buddy.. All the Best Do Well..!!". "Hey Hi Thanks Reema. How have you prepared", My face beamed. "Kind of ok, see you after the exam." Smiles exchanged and seeing her off into the hall, "Oh my, where is the book? what are the five points?"."Time is up Close your books. Enter into the hall." came the instruction. Why don't these girls choose some other time to give us their smile, Crap I Really Wanted It To Happen The Other Way.

Of all the time in the world, these situations present themselves at the most critical juncture. Two or three more people giving you instructions at the same time making you stranded and wondering as to which instruction you need to follow first. You really need to ask them to repeat it again.

You never really know when your friends do the favor they really promised you. Picking us up from a specified point at a specified time would never happen in the history of friendship. Neither would a planned prank on someone be executed properly. A quiz competition was doing the rounds during the final semesters. We decided to enter a buddy's name with whom I shared the same name except for the initials. All set and done and the prank, thinking well executed, my friend and me were excitedly awaiting the look on my buddy's face when his name was called out.

The name was called but there was no reaction on my buddy's face.
"Dude his name is read out, but why is he not reacting?" exclaimed my friend
"How will he? That's the name with my initial."
Crap I Never Really Wanted It To Happen That Way!!

The Silly Little Things..Dude.. Help Pls..!!


   The countdown has really begun. It's just ten minutes to closure.Five general knowledge questions needs to be answered. Hands shivering, clock ticking, the entire room is very silent; A Campus interview aptitude test was on the 'Go'. Written the proper answers I heaved a sigh of relief. A stern voice from behind echoed "Time Up, Stop!', that really broke the silence. On the verge of submission a mild doubt raised regarding writing of question numbers on the answer sheet. To my horror it was a big 'NO'. Answer sheet was taken away, "Dude anyone available.. Help Pls..!!" Result announced "Candidate Rejected"


One can never predict, for himself, as to when a situation turns him to appear "Silly", in front of a familiar crowd who will go 'Ga-Ga' over it. It is an incident that really binds the familiar crowd to unity with, 'we' as the odd man out. These are most likely to happen when we are unsure of what to do, or rather we really are 'Silly'.


An ideal situation explaining this could relate to a person, asking a route to a passerby. A friend of mine ended up asking a beggar. He in turn charged Rs.50 for the service rendered. Pity my friend, ended up being the bait among us, for the rest of his career. He never happened to enquire about a route again.


The events that happen with our knowledge and yet we tending to appear silly showcases multiple talents we posses. Corollary to the above, just infers we are bound to appear, supplementing bad time as a reason.


"...Where there is a will there is a way. What a person needs to have is a goal, a vision and whatever may be the situation one should overcome and achieve it.The will power should always be heavier than the heaviest of beings on this planet. It should never droop. That is how you need to approach everything in life and come out successfully." Thus concluded a brilliant speech made by one of the Director of a well renowned company. It was the speech for the occasion for felicitating the Directors from various companies and passing on their experience and message to youngsters.


"Where there is a will there is a way. Wow, what a phrase, the guys who formed it really knows to play with English words, I just really love English man. A chat with one of the Directors should really be of great help to me." Thus with such thoughts reverberating I decided to proceed, when suddenly, I happened to spot my boss. "Bingo! How would it look if he knew I too was a part of this function and sharing couple of my opinions would do great use to me."


We met and I enlightened him on how much the phrase inspired me and about the talks. My boss deeply impressed and intending on making me implement the same just spoke the lines. "Dude, some of our guys find it tough to run the current Module scheduled for release tomorrow. Why don't you give it a try, take some ownership and help in completion, a bit of extra responsibility at this age would be ideal to shape you. Hope to hear good news from you tomorrow" Thus saying he wished good luck and left the arena.

HAHA...Dude!! Nothing Is Impossible..

  When people say 'you can do whatever in this world,nothing is impossible,' our mindset becomes very strong.We really get inspired and every individual who heard this line is ready to take a 'Risk'. Not a moment they pass to think, as to where these so called people, who say these above lines go, during the time when the risk is supposed to be taken.

As to the factor 'Risk', nothing great is being talked about here. I have a general opinion on certain people, who speak and do things well at backstage but when pushed to the main stage they fumble.They come up with other plans. They send the guy besides them instead. Unfortunately it is us. All these type of incidents happens in everyone's life.


An elderly person with whom I share a minimum ten to twelve years difference happened to have the shyness problem right from the childhood. I had triple the time more than him.Once in a meeting with big shots of the project, this guy gave me confidence, 'Speak, don't feel shy, nothing is impossible'. The meeting scheduled for two hours initially, after my speech at the end, overshot for another two hours. It ended with eviction of my name from the project. I managed it somehow and came with hands clean. I fell on the person's feat. It was his observation on the project that I really spoke!!


These are just some common observations, that really kindle you to start observing situation and people. This piece of writing has no intended inferences, but rather just a compilations of observation done to warn certain people as to what might be the consequences of the line 'Nothing is impossible'.


We as a gang of ten happened to visit a mall, during our office hours. No work so it was teams day out. A competition was on the go to promote a drinks brand. We need to drink 20 cups( big ones) of Coke or Fanta and done successfully, you happen to get the drinks brand, a sample packet for free. Since my stomach was full I didn't enter in..My team mate though full but known for his large belly, had his take.


Lo! Behold. He won and ultimate cheers and admiration went to him or rather to the capacity of his stomach.After ten minutes my team mate went to restroom. He never made out of it until an hour passed by.


One of my team mate had told him 'Nothing is impossible, try it out'.  He got a good treatment.  


Some people have this line as a mantra, which gives them the much needed energy to finish their assigned work. Many listen to energy booster songs of their favorite artists and albums, then proceed to finish their work. These sound reasonable, as they really need to finish their assigned task.


I really don't know how to end this piece of writing either by giving an inference or just leave it abrupt. But I really understand if its a necessary 'Risk' needed to be taken, then the line 'Nothing is Impossible' can be tried out, else if the 'Risk' is beyond our reach then lot needs to be decided.

When going gets Tough...

It just makes me laugh or just wonder who really found out the phrase "when going gets tough, the tough gets going"

The Going is made tough in order to make oneself realize that your decisions made are not worth it and better think of an easy solution that really makes you surpass the situation.. To a certain extent this really synchronizes. A deeper dig into the topic, just highlights upon the fairy tales ever written. It was a fantasy at a younger age, with characters so very well designed that people playing the heroics just have an unique power, to save anything or the fairies created just helping the right people at the right time.


The kids at that point would be seated at the edge of their seats, till the heroic finish is done and get themselves exulted and might even go to the extent of imitating those characters. The Fantasy world.


The moral sometimes would refer to the phrase at the top.Children really try to imitate and a couple of failures just make them realize to come back to their senses. They realize "without effort, you can never dream of great things".


I always had this friend of mine who was my best pal, during my college days. He always proclaimed himself as the tough guy. Since from the young age, whenever he was cornered in any situation, he made his way out. Impressive as it sounds, we guys would just admire and no doubt we would be with him always either to find out how he did it or for cheap publicity as he was known by many people. No doubt he was a great wonder.


One night it so happened I had his notes for reference and next day was the exam. I would generally be awake and my 'tough' friend always boasted he studied for just 2 hours for any exam. At the very same night around 12 he called me up and told he will collect the notes from me and when he met me I saw tension written on his face. Upon inquiring i gathered that he reads the whole night before exams and gifted with a good memory he does extremely well. Is it really character 'tough'.


The point guys what I really wanted to put-forth is that without effort no situations can be handled. Sure one or two people might be lucky. But to sustain or to reach the pinnacle effort is always required. Showing oneself tough or being tough is just an height of fantasy. Never a reality.
