Learnings

At this point of life, I understand
"You always attract what you want. Nothing less or nothing more."

The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson - Tom Bodett

Recognition

I have lately started to understand something about human psycology... What everybody needs is attention, recognition and affection.....This is in all areas of a person's life.. professional, social and personal... Of course affection has nothing to do with professionalism and social expectations....but in family and personal relationships it cake make you really worthy.
What does anybody do when they don't like somebody and want to hurt them... They turn blind towards the other persons acheivements, whatever it is...... They make a conscious decision to ignore the other person.....When you are innnocent and you fall prey to such kind of people, you will feel as if you are standing alone in an island.... This is the worst thing which can happen to you... feeling lonely.... What happens when this is repeated to the same person from all sides.... They have two choices....
They tend to go towards people who give them the slightest of attention (even if it is fake) or
they turn cold towards the whole society and star leading a careless life..
They will not know what they are worthy......
Everybody needs somebody to guide them....... How much ever freedom, money and health you have, you cannot accomplish anything if you are not focused.....In order to focus..... you need inspiration.....and encouragement...... You do not know how far encouraging words can take you....If you have a genuine reason to appreciate somebody.. do not hesitate...It can make both very happy...
“Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well”-- Voltaire

Planning for a trip

I am planning for a trip with my team mates..... It all started last month when one team mate suggested it during lunch time...It was mid of June..... My enthusiasm was triggered.... I started talking about it with all members. And to my surprise.... everybody accepted (Atleast then I should have known it is a sure sign of disaster).... They said, we are all ready....even now. So here came the selection of the place....
  • Coorg
  • Kodaikanal
  • Munnar

Here came the voices..... No Munnar.... it is ideal only for honeymoon...not for team tours... we are not ready...So Munnar was out of the court...poor me.....Then it was Coorg...... ya everybody was OK but.....it did not fit within the two days time we had....

So zeroed to Kodai..... everybody Ok......surprise again.....

It was decided to go till Kodai road by train and from there to Kodai by taxi or bus....Next step open IRCTC....start booking tickets...... Wow, tickets were available.....So what next fix the dates..... Then came the news.....July...I have something important in July.....what is it Oh My MBA exams.... I have MBA exams..I can't come.... even I have..... even I have.......tin tin ti din.....We have exams the whole week of July.... might be next month August first week will be OK..............

But anyways it is always funny to arrange these trips.........let me see if this trip works out....

My short-term goals ....

I wish to be consistent in doing the following atleast for a month:
  • Walk for 15 mins daily in the morning.
  • Help mom for lunch
  • Leave home early and come back early
  • Cut auto expense....walk till the main road...no auto
  • Avoid junk
  • Learn something new daily....
  • Have atleast 7 hours of sleep daily...........
  • NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT ANYBODY......
  • PLAN FOR A TEAM TRIP

That's it............for now

Srilankan Issue....

We have all been hearing this issue for years... When we were young all problems seemed to have an easy solution... We still hear young children saying, I will take a gun and shoot the thief, will kick him, ... this and that... But as we grow and start to think and face the practical aspects of life we loose this sense of action.....Decency prevents us from questioning the atrocities...

The whole world is watching..... Tamils living in miserable condition in SL..... But what can anybody do? What is the UNO doing? Why is red cross not allowed in the camps? Why are no journalists allowed? When will the tamils return to the homeland? Why is the whole world mum?........Today there was a news that 1000 Tamils die every week in the camps due to poor sanitary facilities......Why???

This is the one single issue which makes me doubt the existence of God to the core....Not only because it is Gods duty to save the innocent.....the tamilians in Srilanka are the only tamilians who read Devaram and Thiruvasagam everyday...they are sincere worshippers of Lord Muruga.....Why is God watching this....allowing this? Why can't he do something and save these people.......Atleast the children there?

MJs songs

From collection of Michael Jacksons song, I liked this one........

Everybody's somebody's fool
The world is the biggest school
As you live, you learn though a torch will burn
Everybody's somebody's fool

You go through life making fools of others
Prentending you're giving them love
But remember sister or brother
You all have to answer to the one u above

It's beautiful to watch love begin
But oh so sad when it ends
As you got through life remember this rule
Everybody's somebody's fool

It's beautiful to watch love begin
But oh so sad when it ends
As you got through life remember this rule
Everybody's somebody's fool
