Thoughtless picture with HER

Kept staring at HER, this was then when I was supposed to concentrate on the lunch I was having… Was I admiring the beauty? or looking for answers for the question that were lingering on my mind.

My mind never asked those questions, but still finding answers to the unsolved mysteries is part of life…!

She wore a shining black salwaar kameez with twinkling glass pieces on them, which actually distracted me from gazing at her for a long time.

On hearing about a female that she is one the most beautiful one ever seen… Men start to wonder and seem amused especially when they don’t find the reason for her being attractive or better they don’t find HER attractive at all.

I was also in such a fix… Was she really beautiful was what my brain asked and it also gave me the answer as “Yes may be…!”

But my heart ignored it.

This is the most complicated part of Heart and Brain.. The Heart keeps directing things to what the eyes sees and the brains keeps ignoring finding only logical answers..

In this cold battle between brain and heart, the eyes bear the brunt..

Eyes keep wondering whether they should look for a solution or jus keep staring.

My eyes did the same, they tried looking around a while for some moments which focused everything but her.. ‘shuuicckk’ she caught my attention back in a jiffy…

How did she managed my attention.. ???

She waved me a gud bye.. as she was done wit her lunch… My eyes were the “loser” here cos it still kept staring at her and she couldn’t understand the strange behaviour…

Unconsciously my hands came up and a bid a gud bye too…

Man.., gal can make so many things happen in parallel.. I also noticed some guys  went “awww…” when she passed by..

Just as I struggled to finish my lunch, I had a pat on my back .. Yes, it was HER again… “Are you okay…??” she asked and I shook my head indicating I was fine.

Well this time around my eyes knew the mystery was resolving …

She was beautiful indeed, to the world… but to me ?

My heart and brain, they are still deciding…!!!!!

Deceptive

In the era of “kalyug” or the deceptive times, expecting Honesty is like seeking Pure honey from the honey comb without being stung by the bee.

One used to wonder then, when great scholars used to predict that one day will come, when this Human will not trust his own brother... Sounded funny to few and totally unreal to many.

After all these years the time has come when today No relations trust each other blind-folded.

One point of suspicion arises out of no where, we don’t even trust people in temples – the Abode/Home of God (remember the last time when your sandals got stolen, it was after that incident)

It also becomes a headline in the morning dailies, when some one actually returns a cash full of bag which seemed to have been lost at a public space

Being deceptive is the order of the day and when we are being Honest (the by default setting of God), people ask... “Is something wrong with this person…?” LOL

Years have been passing by and the level of honesty is falling exponentially…

At this alarming rate, we can see a headline in near future as:

Man took loan of 50,000 and paid back the same within the stipulated time WITH INTEREST.

Welcome to the Last world. We might as well christen it as the Deceptive age.

Thank You..!

For all that you have done and things left undone, Thank you

For all the love and all the tears, Thank you

For all the happiness and the disappointment, Thank you

For all the liveliness and the boredom, Thank you

From the bottom of my heart, to the reach of the heaven, Thank you

There are the only 2 words  I dedicate to you, Thank you

Its not so long before you thanked someone but, was the effort worth the gesture or was this word a mere sound or was it just another English word.

Thanking someone too early or too late can have its own consequences, but after all thanking the person is the best way you can treat them.

Thanking someone is difficult and not easy as it sounds, as we humans can thank by words / materials / action & deeds. Each "thanks" may result in a different thought, unheard and unseen when together with friends or miles apart. 

So start thanking people you know as you meet, as I thanked my Father for his selfless deed or as I thanked my dear friend for being there in my need.

I do not know, whom all I missed saying “thank you” in my life, But rest assured, even after the long silence till date, you would be paid back, if not anything but with a deeply touched “Thank you” my dear mate.

KILLER eMoTiOnS

Yeah it wud hav happened to each one of us...During those times you wud ve asked questions to yourself… Why the f&?# am I alive...Why Me... Why now … What wrong did I do…. Was it THE only reason …?

Alas.. Not only there are answers to these questions, but the person who answers them hurts us the most, many a times knowingly and sometimes unknowingly.

          Been hearing it from the day I started “growing”... Sharing things out is the best way to maintain peace..

Wel can you please tel me, How on earth do you except some one to stay calm, when, some bloody asshole starts giving out information(do note , its not “sharing”) about their new found love, even while having the most intimate relationship with you…  If staying calm can be part of your character, God hail you... I m human, F$%# that loser for it.

          Leaving someone or something on an order, can be a very painstaking task.

“eMoTiOnS”, if seen as a thing, have no concern for you, they are there in your mind until you start ignoring them or delete them forever .Taking charge of it and controlling also seems to be a hell of job, hence we see so many people around us crying day in and out... Be it @ the temple or in thier beloved one’s arms, tears are the end result of every eMoTiOn - both Happy and Sad.

eMoTiOnS, the very reason of writing this word in this fashion is to enhance and understand the occurrence of it...

Some emotions are needed to live and some to die...

Some give you a reason to live life when things are drifting apart and some make you dead person even when the heart still beats...

And also there are some emotions as small as “i” which we never care about and some as huge as “O” which play havoc in our lives.

Living with eMoTiOnS is part of our life and living without it will tag us as “inhuman” as you no-more “live”, you just go on..

Journey from “Can I..?” to “I want.”

Yes indeed , the time period from “Can I..?” to “I want.” is a journey in itself and let me tell you , It has been one of the best journeys I ve ever travelled.

Watta time its been then .. where we could hear ppl always talking politely in every conversation .. “Please“/ “may I” / “Shall we” were very common … But today these words are learnt from “How to speak...” books.

It is very common to hear phrases like “Dad, I m going out will be back by 10” rather than “Dad , My frnds ve planned a get-together and I m planning to join them, Will it be fine , If I’m back by 10..?”

I might sound cribbing about this generation’s conversation ways, but I m a part of it and I support it whole heartedly..

Of course telling people of what you are going to do rather than asking them whether its fine or is right thing to do, is a sign of self confidence and Today we all fight to show tht we are confident, who wants to stay behind in the rat race anyways...

The only problem with the “I Want” group is that they take things for granted whereas

The “Can I” group always waits for its decision to be taken by others and are never successful because the “I want” group loves taking risks hence they take over the opportunity which the “Can I” group had in hand but was waiting for the go ahead from “others”.

No matter which group we belong to , One thing is for sure, trusting our instincts for the right stuff and feeling of satisfaction when the task is over will be the group which everybody will want to join..

Sounds like future prediction ..

From “Can I..” then “I want..” to “Whatever happens.. I m doing it”

Fear of Asking..

Day 1 :  You are deeply wishing that you get a change in life .

Day 2 : Your wish comes true - your project changes out of the blue ( I am an IT guy , cant ignore my bread n butter in my blogs, hence Project change) , to add  it , even the place you were sitting all these months changes.

Day 4 :  You meet with an  accident and your life changes forever.

          Have you ever wondered, if all your wishes came true on the instant as you wished for, how would our life be and how we humans react to things ..

Say you wanted to meet some one very badly and you have no hope of meeting them wat-so-ever  and guess what ,the evening you reach home .. The same “some-one” is waiting for you at your house..

Now lets the spiritual side of it .. If God always granted you wishes at the instant you asked for it , How wud we ever realize the happiness of getting it. Or the other side the sorrow if not getting it ..

We always brag about things and what if we get caught bragging. That’s not what we wished but even though it occurs (well the person you were bragging to did wish for though.. !)

         

Often in anger or when we are over flowing with emotions , we tend to speak words we don’t mean to.. What if they come true…

Ex :  Person A loses his luxury car  and the moments he is made aware of this .. he shouts in pain .. “ god ,. You shud ve taken me to heaven before letting this news to me..”

And ZAP!! Mr.A is dead…

Did he want that..?? Loosing a car is still acceptable but loosing life,,??

         

When your friend happens to lose a football match and instead of consoling him , you start sayin …” Rather than playin this way .. you shud ve been a handicap at least you would not bore the players..! looser  “

The very Next day the foot ball player meets with an accident and when his friend hears about this he is devasted as he learns that his football player friend will never be able to walk..

Thoughts runs though the friend’s  mind , while he sobs …

” Wil I ever be forgiven.. did I intentionally want it .. or those words came out cos I ws jus emotionally not stable..”  Silence was the answer...

Never wish for something without a second thought ..  I might come true ..!

P.S : I wish I could get a Blackberry very soon… Anybody listening out there .. ;)

IT’s Emotions:

Sharing happiness/sorrows is one thing but “feeling” it is another..

That word is used quite a lot and of-late it has lost its actual meaning.. as ‘feeling’ something requires  lot more effort than just to hear it.

One instance I would like to quote from my personal experience:

The other day I had a call from my home informing me about my mom’s health as she was un-well, in return I just enquired as to what had happened and after few  mins I was back at my office desk, work as-usual as nothing had happened… ! It was my “Mom”, but still nothing seemed to affect.

Departing of soul takes priority than not keeping well but even in that case , what one could see is the third party(blood relatives) visits the latter’s home  and passes on his condolences , in many cases there seems to be no regret too as we could see people getting back to normal life in just about the next day.

Lets  bring happiness in the picture , Your best friend succeeds in completion of a long pending herculean task and gets into lime light for the effort put-in , we immediately call him/her back to congratulate on the achievement, but when they happen to throw a party to celebrate the happiness , we skip it.

          Initially I had this assumption that this only happened to IT employees as their work involved nothing but a routine task repeated over and over again and still expecting results to be different every time.. Guess what Einstein called it..?

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein, (1879 - 1955)

Are we working professionals such stone hearted , not to feel things which shud ve directly affected our mind and heart .. How can we , as human, be so mean.. To whom are we showcasing this .. What are we trying to represent..?

Guess these questions remain a mystery and solving them will only hurt deeper..!

The Incomplete..

No idea  where it all started or how it came into existence , but it did come . Hitting much harder than expected .. The truth of life is that expectations  prepares us for the worst but at the same time but facing disappointment smilingly is not everybody’s cup of tea.

            It so happened on a one fine day .. The young lad hopped in to this corporate workplace to complete a few ‘task’ assigned (every work is referred as tasks , corporate jargons you see ) and expecting things to go hay wire like any other new comer wud do..

On the verge of winding up things did he realize as the ‘tasks’ were actually incomplete .. How it is incomplete .. here it goes..

First and foremost .. On the joy of getting a new job .. he forgot to inform his friends ( his best pals) that he is recruited (again a jargon).. so joy of sharing is lost.

On the office floor ( actually called the workstation – since ‘resources’ do nothing but work)  resource barely managed to enjoy the reality of the working in a corporate environment which he was always eager to do.

We humans are always hungry dogs , who get their hunger bells ringing way before the lunch time  and so it happened for this lad who rushed to café and came back in a jiffy just gulping his food, lost the best time of day, which could have been enjoyed by observing different ‘variety’ of people.

Now back at to desk.. time 2 PM.. the best time not to work as now for the first time in the day are you satisfied after completing something (though the food can be bad at times), the resource is trying to complete the days’ task in the given, in order to be in the good books of the Manager.. lost out on the time actually meant for increasing social networks.

Getting almost to the EOD ( End of day – corporate people love to talk in jargons )  working under stress , resource almost forgot the deadline had already passed…!!

Now since the results were supposed to be delivered asap , struggling between the available task results and some getting delivered in the verge of winding up.. this was the thought running through his mind ..

The day , the task , the lunch , the innovation , the enthu .. they are all still incomplete..!

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.
