Sunrise

Thanks to a blood test and few tips of wisdom from a cousin, i was forced out of bed early mornings for a walk in the beach front. If felt like walking up the himalayas but slowly i started enjoying it. May be it is the walk and the sweat that i enjoy or may be it is the peace and the morning sun rise.

This new habit did give me some opportunities to see how beautiful nature is and it is fools like me who ignored it for so long. Happiness is not to be searched for, it is there within us. We just have to look inside and let it happen. 

Another good thing that happened out of this habit is i started thinking inward, which resulted in much more peace of mind.

Hard Work & Commitment

Its after a long time that I am writing something. This post is dedicated to all the people who have slogged to build organizations. Who have beat the heat and come up from scratch. Who have burned their sweat for the betterment of the company that is paying them. To those who have valued commitment and perseverance as their philosophy of life.

The Stupid

Why don't you change your job ?, asked his friends. His reply came after a thought, "I don't understand why i should". " See you joined as a entry level engineer and you are still the same, see this is our third or fourth job and see where we are now". He remains silent. "You can never be a manager there, you can not grow", they kept talking. . He is deep sunk in thought, the thoughts of how good his colleges are to him, how comfortable he is in his work place, how good his company has paid him and taken care of his needs. Suddenly he is alerted by a tap on his shoulder " Come on, change the job man".

The Definition of Hard Work

The stories of how a company is built from scratch is the one I love most to listen to. I have heard a lot of them and I still find time to listen to them. There is an emotional bond that is formed between the employee and the "Organization"; especially when he has seen it being built, when he is involved in building it brick by brick. I have heard stories of people who have been involved with organization from the very beginning, the conception stage. Who have found very little difference in their personal and professional life. Those who have not been suffering their whole life but was achieving things every day.

It is a choice that has to be made, whether you want to be a "Professional" who will never be satisfied with anything in life or be a happy, loyal employee who can find happiness in going for work. We spend a good part of our life at work and it is a place to be enjoyed rather than suffered.

If anybody expected a conclusive statement at the end of the post. I am sorry disappointing you even I don't know.

Mystery...

Wreckage...

The beauty queen

I dont know why...
I keep falling in love..with you..
No matter how many times i see you..
I keep craving for more...

Its your beauty...
Or is it the mystery..
Or is it your mood swings...
I know not.. but i can't stop loving you..

I watched you sleep..
I watched you play..
I saw your anger..
I saw your tears...

The noon.. the sun ...shining on you
Your glittering attire...
The dusk.. i saw your anger..
You lashed out your waves...
You punished the guilty...

I still love your beauty...
Beauty i see nowhere else..

The myth...

Its December... one more year is passing away.... But is there a "Year" in reality ??? Is there a real 2010 and 2011 ?? Its all assumptions so well used that we feel its real. So are the religions...is there a distinction in two sect of people ? No... its just like 2010 & 2011.... a myth...

Its up to you .. if you wanna believe god exists... go ahead and do it... We still use "Infinity" for all the numbers we have not seen or used ??? so why not name the one you have not seen or experienced or you can't identify with anything else as "God" . Does it make a difference if my infinity is better than your infinity ???? so how is your god better than his ?? If the belief that there is some one to take care of you and supports you gives you strength why not believe in that theory ? If you dont what that and you are enough for yourself good... take it that way..

Is there any reason to prove that my god is better than yours'. Ohhh the "heaven"... are you ready to give me all your wealth if i tell you i can reserve a seat for you in heaven ??? then why try to reserve a seat by proving your relegion is better or by killing people for "God" and take a ticket to heaven.....

You dont really need to be the "enlightened" and " love all others... hate none." .. lets be more practical.. for a start.. try loving yourself... love yourself sooo intensely that you know you are perfect and so is everyone else....so there is no reason to prove anything.

Happyness

Happiness is a state of mind induced by our thoughts and personality.

Happiness comes to you only of you invite it.... invite with your full commitment...

You have to crave for it.. and wish for it with your whole self... throw all the garbage out..... throw all the negatives.. all that hurts you.... all that you miss.. all that which you coudn't achieve.... all that you feel will make you happy...

Search for happiness within yourself... enjoy the thing you do...

Then the flower of happiness will blossom and spread its fragrance...

Isha Yoga Centre

My trip to Isha Yoga Foundation- Dhyana Linga

I came to know about this place through a friend in Orkut who had uploaded the photographs of her visit. I searched for about a month to find the location. This being in Coimbatore i never thought that i'll be able to visit this place. When finally destiny had brought me to coimbatore. It took me 3 months to plan a visit. When i finally did it was worth the wait. This is such a wonderful place. The dilemma of Idol worship and spiritual path is clearly united here.

Reloaded

Spirituality need not wait...

I think its just a simple thing (May be an Attitude) which can go hand in hand with you daily normal life....

There is no point in being tooo competitive about life...

At some point of life there should be a stop to looking around for better work place... need to accept the reality and adjust to life.. so i am gonna do that... may be the perfect work place is just a myth. The happiness at workplace comes from how you are ready to accept the reality...

So just take it as it is and move on.... !!!

PROBLEMS

If everything is perfect then we dont need people to work in any organization.. just machines and operators will do. We are there coz problems are there. Problems are what is keeping our job alive. But if you dont't solve enough of them it will choke your job to death. So kill as many as you can and make sure "what you have killed will never come back to life". Face the new ones with all the vigour and might. Kill them too, but be grateful to them coz they are the reason why you exist.

Too dreamy is it ??? Thats ok.. we still can sort this out... i have just started walking in this road.

Spirituality Can Wait...

I was in an eternal dilemma for quiet some time now... i was noticing some changes in me... the intrusion of feelings like fear into the system and it has infiltrated to such an extent that i was feeling like an eighty year old. I noticed my reluctance to drive over a 60kmps mark and my concerns over the onset of rain before or during a trip... what happened to me.. even if its getting older or getting mature .. why the hell am i being numb and letting it happen.... this change may bring peace but is not bringing any happiness more over its making me feel lonely... 

Spirituality can wait... lemme resist this change and fight for happiness... 

The Extraordinary

I have seen different people in my career at UAE, i have been dealing with workers as an intermediary between them and the management. Take their problems to management and implement management decision.. yes it was a tedious job...

1. Shajahan : He was working in my dept as a worker. I was stunt at the way he speaks English, very fluent. I got interested in this person. I spoke to him and i came to know that he worked in an embassy before coming to UAE for job. The work he was doing was really stressful and tiring but he was always enthusisastic. He had the drive to move forward. He finally landed up with an additional responsibility of teaching other workers English language, a non profit making effort by that noble young man. Truly inspirational.

2. Mohan : He was a grinder (Worker) he had interest in computers, drawings etc. He bough a computer , installed autocad and started learning on his own he requested his supervisor to get training in technical stuff but his request was turned down. He persisted attended trainings during his vacation and came back with certificates. Tried to work his way up again.. again his request was turned down by supervisor.... He took a drastic step made drawings on his own and met the CEO . He was permitted to do training in QC dep as unpaid apprentice for 2 months. He struggled his way up and finally landed up in R&D dept as methods engineer.

Soooo many people with the will and drive to excel and successful in doing it.. this world is large enough for those who want it so...

Devilish Red

Red....i used to love you...
Red you used to smoothen my eyes
You used to bring me hope
You brought joy....

Red i am afraid...
Afraid of you...
I see you as blood..
Blood from my bleeding soul...

Devil Dance

She is beautiful
Her eyes full of love
Her words had magic
Thatv took me for a ride

She showed me dreams
She gave me hopes
She showed me new meanings
To my life i used to hate

She blindfolded me in love
I drowned in her love
She kissed me
She hugged me

Now when i wake up from the dream
Breaking her spells
I see the devil in her
Laughing at me...

She killed my soul
She oozed my love
She is happy
When she saw me dying

I cried for my life
She acted deaf
I ran for my life
She pulled me back

Now she is dancing
Dancing on my grave
Its her wedding dance
Right above my grave

My soul weeps
Weeps in hurt
Weeps in insult
Laughing at me....

Platonic Love

Platonic love in its modern popular sense is an affectionate relationship into which the sexual element does not enter, especially in cases where one might easily assume otherwise. A simple example of platonic relationships is a deep, non-sexual friendship between two heterosexual people of the opposite sexes
At the same time, this interpretation is a misunderstanding of the nature of the Platonic ideal of love, which from its origin was that of a chaste but passionate love, based not on uninterest but virtuous restraint of sexual desire. In its original Platonic form, this love was meant to bring the lovers closer to wisdom and the Platonic Form of Beauty. It is described in depth in Plato's Phaedrus and Symposium. In the Phaedrus, it is said to be a form of divine madness that is a gift from the gods, and that its proper expression is rewarded by the gods in the afterlife; in the Symposium, the method by which love takes one to the form of beauty and wisdom is detailed.

Boredom- Clinical

Boredom is an unpleasant state of mind in which one interprets one's environment as dull, tedious, and lacking stimuli. There is an inherent hopelessness in boredom; people will expend considerable effort to prevent or remedy it, yet in many circumstances it is accepted as an inevitable suffering to be endured. A common way to escape boredom is through creative thoughts or daydreaming.

Time often seems to move more slowly to someone who experiences boredom; this results from the way in which the human mind measures the passage of time, combined with the infrequency of events perceived as notable.

A typical teenager's complaint is that there is 'nothing to do'; this statement can have a number of economic and social causes. Younger teens cannot drive, but in many communities are unable to get anywhere without a car possibly due to lack of public transportation. It may also mean that their desired sources of entertainment are too expensive. It could also be a symptom of learned helplessness, possibly related to boredom experienced at school.

Far from being a minor annoyance, boredom can have major negative impacts on people. Perhaps more importantly, boredom is often a symptom of deeper problems, such as depression, ineffective teaching, or ineffective management in a workplace

The Most Outspoken Enlightened Man of the centuary

Constrained Optimisation

Every individual prefers to live a happy and peaceful life. We expect our days to be bright ! Does this happen often ? Any way for me i do not think so. Human beings can never maximise happiness, human life is completely constrained. Man is born in chains and will die in chains ! The process of human life is just a change in chains, addition or deletion of the same.
Any activity a person intending to do will go through a lot of screening process within his mind and the predominent factor affecting the above is the openion of others ! So how much weightage is given for these ? Like wise millions of constraints

Is Love a constraint ???? Just this quiestion would have attracted lot of frowns i am aware of that. But i feel this way.Love is a constraint....and it continues to be one throughout his life. This chain is so strong that its number increases with age of the individual. This is the same constraint which prevents or inhibits the thoughts of a person's pursuit for eternal freedome. So isn't love a constraint ??

Love comes as Parents, Sibblings, Girl/Boy friends, Wife/Husband, Children, Grandchildren...

when is man free ?? when does he do things of his own wish ?? Being the most evolved species is he ever free to do things he wish ? Is maximisation of happiness possible ? No its optimisation , Constrained Optimisation

Chains

MAN Born in chains

Will Live in Chains

Will Die in chains

Heights of Customer Service

For the first time in my life i visited a treassuary yesterday and i saw the heights of customer service. If the full form of PSC is Public Service Commission and if thats how ppl get into this office the name should be changed to Public Screwing Commission coz.

The systems there are obsolete. The Cash reciept was on one corner and then from there the challan was taken to other corner of the office which took 5 min for the peon to carry. I was instructed to wait for the callan counter foil to come. I waited for 53 mins and after utter frustration i approached the peon and he said the challan has not reached this section. I informed him tat the person who was standing behind me in the queue left 45 mins back. He went and checked again ( Another 10 mis) he came back and replied the challan was not there. Then i went back to the cash counter and he checked the floor "my challan for 75,000 Rs was lying on the floor" the peon was happy to see that it was not his mistake and he gave me the counter foil after 5 mins.

World Class service at your FOOT STEPS !!!!!

India SHINE !!! and this kerala is again set for an ellection !!!!
