Smart Tadpole

If you crawl out of the Pond in Summer, just because there is not much water to swim and not many worms to swallow, u would end up in another likewise pond or die on the dry land. 

If you swim out in Monsoon, over excited about your swimming abilities, u keep swimming in a river until u reach the sea to meet the bellies of big whales. 

If you are a smart Tadpole, u would wait till the Autumn till u grow up to a Frog and then u realize that u have survived a year of all seasons and u will survive better being a frog.

 Just decide when to Hop off !!!

A Happy Birthday

To all those who stayed awake n woke me up yesterday midnight, to all those who woke me today morning with their calls to wish, to all those who made time out of their busy schedule and called up to pour me with heartfelt wishes, to all those kanjoos's who typed wishes in sms, to all those who gave me surprises and to all those forgetful ones who couldnt remember but wish by heart always, I just wanna say - "You all have made my day :) 'Thanks' is too small "

Financial Crisis - in a NutShell

On Middle-Class Dreams

20 years ago in India, most of the middle-class people uttered and believed this, "If u wanna get rich, get in to politics or become a cricketer or a film star. Otherwise put your heads down and die poor. There is no way you can grow richer in clean ways". A gentleman from a humble town Mysore, Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy disproved it.

On longevity of relationships

Well, I am a patient tester of longevity of relationships; Not amused by the superficial loft... Only few could manage to cling on for long and they shall never be left to wither... besides, many have come and gone and many more yet to come, I know. Not many might like it. But I prefer to have a few chocolates in my pocket than to hold huge unopened Gift boxes.

Cruelty of Democracy

If Democracy gives us right to Vote a Government... Why not a right to De-vote (Not devote) a Government... ??? People do make wrong choices... its inherent. But what about those who didn't vote for the Govt ??? Why should those few people who voted right should suffer for the wrong choice of many ???

Born to Fly

Just because the frog who you befriended, jumped in to the pond... Just because the ducklings who you played with, swam in to the stream of water... Just because the fishes in the pond shine like silver... Do Not jump in to it. Allow the water to get calm and glance who you are, in the reflection... Look up. The Sky is large. Spread your wings... You are born to fly.

Pity the Emotionally numb

Aren't the Emotions wonderful ? Be it the feeling of ur heart getting squeezed sometimes or your eyes filled with tears for no big reason or the uninvited smile on ur cheeks without a purpose... An Emotionally numb man must be pitied more than the mentally or physically numb ones... because he wouldn't even know whether he is a money counter machine or an inexpressive sheep !

Live like a Frog

Like fishes, few live in a pond and think that the Deers are lucky to walk on earth and run anywhere they wish to.

Like deers, few are tired of running and wish if they were Birds which are lucky to fly in the sky.

Like birds, although they get to see everyone below, few are bored of watching over others and few are sick of solitude.

To be happy, live like a Frog...

be a tadpole and swim along with fishes;

crawl, walk or sleep off on any corner you like;

enjoy the flight in every hop.

Just make sure you don't end up in a well.

A Downtime

It is really hard to accept defeat when you don't even get to fight and somebody decides it by tossing a coin !!! On a disappointing downtime... Off Facebook for a while... Adieu

Out of Race

Sometimes there is more to gain in walking out of a race than to run in... let the herd fight for the grass... and maybe graze till they swell... it just makes it easy to dig for the Carrots :)

An Analogy to Insurance

"An Analogy to Insurance:
You ask the fishes in a pond "Allow me to pump out water from your pond everyday. If one day the pond gets dried, I ll get you water". When the pond really gets dried and the fishes start choking, you keep a mineral water bottle in front of them and ask their signature..."

On Insurance

"The gist of the Business of Insurance is to make a bunch of pessimistic fortunate paranoids to pay for the fate of unlucky few and keep both parties in peace thereby increasing own fortunes."

Everyone gets Wisdom Teeth... but few grow Wise ;)

Enough is Enough

Dear Anna Hazare ji, I am really hoping that, today will be the last day I bribed... I am not as strong as you, to fast unto death! nor am I rigid enough to live for the nation alone! I am a naturally self centered family man! But, I feel so embarrassed to see people pushing notes in to a traffic cop's pocket while some foreign visitors gaze! I feel so much ashamed to watch the officers seeking bribe in open! I am too pissed off to see the bloody corrupted political tamasha! Hence, I promise you 3 things, if you get us what we really dreamt of; "A key to a Clean Nation": 1. I will never address u in singular. 2. I ll proudly preach about you to my kids n grand-kids. 3. I ll utilize the lokpal bill to my best to eradicate corruption up to my level. I am counting on you !

On Completion of 1 year

Completed 1 year in my 1st Project of my Career... Looking back, this one year has transformed me from a tadpole to a frog... my sincere thanks to all the people who made my work-life smooth, directly or unknowingly... Way to Go !!!

On Relationships

We never know what kind of chemistry God has built within us... even if we keep hearing 'Nice', 'Great', 'Awesome' or any other pleasing words everyday from so many people artificially... nothing matches the joy we feel when we hear 'Idiot' from those few close ones... no matter how much we seek happiness through money, position or fame; ultimately relationships play the key catalyst for inner emotions...

Untimely Emotions

There are times when Emotions run high within the Heart for no reason... yet I cannot spell it out ! there are other times when I own all the time in the world to Spell/Yell/Tell... but nothing comes up ! The only time when neither of them occur is when I m asleep... If both of them happen at once, that is when the poetic Phoenix arises from ashes... yet again !!!

Predator vs Prey

I hate to be a Prey all the time... so I learnt to climb... but to never be a Prey and be a Predator all the time... I know I gotta learn to fly... but the Hawks and vultures are never so generous to share the sky... and its way too early to challenge them... I guess its to time to spread wings and grow claws :)

It's time

It's time to turn the table before somebody pushes to a corner... time again for rejuvenated diplomacy, hypocrisy and strategy !!!

Better learn from Bruises

I am not sure whether to call Today, inauspicious or another Self realization point in life... met with a very minor accident which could have been severe in another minute... got first bruises on my beloved bike and myself after a long time... I guess God has alerted the lazy and absent minded part of me to better learn from these bruises... than to wait for worse lessons... Thank God once again...

Unknown Seeds

Tired of doing what I am not supposed to do without being what I am not !!! Not sure what seed m sowing !!! Is it jasmine that blossoms and withers in a day ??? or is it Mango that fruits in a year ??? or cud it be Neem that offers nothing but cool shade ??? or would it turn out to be a weed ??? Only time can tell what my toil yields...

Anger & Patience

Few recent Angry moments and aftermath Patient thinking have taught me, Anger always shows you different angles to look at an issue. But, only Patience can show you which among them is purposeful. With Anger, you explode energy. But, with patience, you can embrace energy. Now am angry for not being so patient :)

Numbers matter !!!

Life has taught me how useful numbers are, to turn the tables from being a Prey to a Predator... But I am yet to learn it fully well, which is why I think Destiny has been often putting up the table in front of me to see if I an turn it... Nevertheless, need a lot of revision classes... :)

Power of Patience

Patience is a very effective tool… only if you know when to use it. If you don’t use it when you should, you will catch the wrong bus and land up in wrong place !!! If you use it when you shuldn’t, you will miss all the buses !!! All in all, it’s not worth having a bus pass if you don’t know which is your bus…

Good, Better and Best

There are some points in Life when you must never settle for anything less than Best... But, don't be so much desperate and obsessed with it, that you lose out all d Good's and wud ve to fight for the Bad's over Worst's !!! It's sometimes wise to reduce the standards.

Alternatives vs Compromise

If a Cat and Mouse are left alone on an island, they will live happily without any fight! “Alternative” is the antonym of “Compromise”. Because, lesser the Alternatives, more the Compromises… better the Alternatives, lesser the Compromises.

Let's live on the edges...

There s a fine line between Goodness and Foolishness. Cleverness and Evilness. Heroes n Villains pick their sides. Let's live on the edges...

Let's Cultivate Life !

Every seed you sow may not sprout & grow to a tree even if you sweat the most & give the best to it. There are more weeds in this world than the flowering and fruitful plants. It doesn’t hurt if someone’s Berry tree grows taller than your Rose plant. But it does hurt when nature chooses a giant thorny bush to grow over your tiny sapling.

Thankfully life has a vast farm and God has given us plenty of seeds. Let’s cultivate Life !

Let's Live Together

When people can find 100 reasons to find fault in, complain about,talk behind back, hate somebody, why not find one good reason to live with them...?

On the first rain of Summer

Only today did I realize, how lacking my vocabulary is, when I tried to say, How Amazing, Soothing, Enthralling, Enchanting, Marvelous, Beautiful, Gorgeous, Pleasant, Amusing, Superb, Great, Inspiring, the weather was, after the Blissful Rain soaked the soil and breezed the cool air, today morning... but still couldn't describe completely, the magic of nature & express my juvenile emotions. Hats Off mother Nature !!!

A Favour

Jul 20 2010

Oh God! Do me either of these favours... kill the creative spirit within me that constantly thrills me with amazing ideas and thoughts which make me feel as though there are some unhatched eggs dancing in my stomach...Or kill this bloody laziness that has consumed my patience, dedication and enthusiasm... The 3rd alternative would be to send and Angel of inspiration like before....

Awaiting the Spark

I seriously dont know what's stopping me from Blogging... I must resolve the conflict between the creative half n the lazy half of my Brain... Just awaiting a spark of inspiration...

On Decisions

Perception, Opinion & Anger together, can lead you to a blunderous decision. Why not have patience and make a Good one !!!

Happy New Year

2010 was a year of a lot of changes in life... it may be a year that made me a year older just like the previous ones, but it also kept me a year younger just like the future ones :) An emotional adieu to 2010 !!! Now, with a Hopeful Welcome to 2011, all I ask is more Weekends and few Mondays :) The finalized wishlist will be published soon :) A Happy n Prosperous New year to All :)

On IPL- 4 Auctions

Its a pinching dilemma between my Classical cricket follower and a practical materialist when I see legends like Rahul Dravid and Ganguly are put under hammer and 'bought/paid' for much less than just a lucky young amateur bowler or not even that... Sometimes I wonder, Will Cricket remain a Team Game and a Gentle men's game after all? But then the materialist digests it easily!!!

Happy Sankranti

I wont simply wish Happy Sankranti !!! I wish, may this 1st festival of the new year bring many, much n more festivals this year, especially on weekdays :) eLLu bella tindu oLLE maataaDi :)

A Break from FB

Yes, I took a break from you... I had better things to do this week... met some friends in real, traveled in the curves in the midst of Hills, did some nsp, yenjoyed a leave after a long time, worked with red eyes after return, learnt some hard lessons. Yes I had an eventful week. But it doesnt mean you can blank my mind n stop me putting status quotes! Oh dear Facebook, I m still yours for now ! :)

Onsite Calls

Aukhaiye... shyore... aaulraiyt... nouw pphroblaem... mean Okay... Sure... Alright... No Problem ! This is what I get to hear everyday ;)

Mystery of Psychology

Human psychology is a big mystery to understand! When u munch Hot samosas, or savour on delicious ice cream scoops with somebody who don't mean anything to u, it just makes a snack or a desert ! But if u try the same samosas and Ice creams with those few close ones who shared moments with u, they seem entirely more delicious and satiating than before ! u ll bless the delaying supplier whom u wud ve cursed before !!!

Slow Magic

Patience, Forgiveness and Silence have immensely greater influence on People than we think the Heroics, Gait and Great statements have... its only that we have to wait to see the Magic unveil !!!

War & Peace

Badly need some rest after this tiresome Battle !!! Somebody said, "When in peace, prepare for war ! when in war, hope for peace !" Can we peacefully prepare for war ???

Humpty-Dumpty

Sometimes you cant decide which side to take. Whether to choose the side where you have to work like a peasant, but be a king. Or to choose the side where you can live like a king, but be Mr.Nobody. I would say, till u decide, keep walking on the Wall :) though people may call you Humpty-Dumpty :)

War is a Drug

Well ! Now I understand the quote of Hurt Locker ! "War is a drug...". After a 5 month battle n struggle, even when it finally ended peacefully for which I fought like a Gladiator in the middle of a war field with a bunch of speechless audience... even if the battle is won... it itches the hands to keep a sharp sword idle... yes it hungers for another one. Which is why they say, "When in Peace, Prepare for War..."!!!

On Successful Completion of a Critical Project

Had a Party from Lead on the Successful completion of a critical project :) Feels good to have somebody say, "Well Done" after sweating out for months...

On my Gifting Skills

It really gave a biGGG boost... on my Gifting knowledge, upon hearing, "I really liked it... In fact, I wanted to have one like this...", considering my relative dumbness on it and given the fact, it's the 1st time I ever picked a gift !!! Now I feel, Gifting is not so tough :) :) :)

On my 1st Bike ride

Well, for a novice bike-rider like me, covering 300kms in a day... 150 kms from Bangalore to Mysore in 2.5 hrs... reaching 110kmph for the 1st time... passing 2000 km mark in odometer... especially safe return... mean little adventurous !!! must say, it was great !!!

 Cant feel shoulders, legs n butts... Bike ride was great... after effect is greater !!!
