Lyrics which touch your soul .

Home is behind, the world ahead
And there are many pass to tread
Through shadow, to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow, cloud and shape
Hope shall fail, all shall fade

"Everything quantifiable gets normalised in life,its the unquantifiable which cheers you up and makes life worth living"

Some thought which came up during a chat session with a dear friend..

Game over or Start New Game?

2006-05-09T05:56:14Z

Its all a Mirage .

In this world of mirages
Where is the real you??

When you look into the mirror
Do you see a stranger staring back at you?

Then one day you decide enough is enough
I will get out of this room made of mirages

The minute you become the real ,original you
You are stripped off opportunities!

Why???

Coz you no longer talk like them,laugh like them or follow the rules they made.

So is it Game over or Start New Game?

Should I feel pain for leaving this place and moving on?

For losing friends and colleagues I never had?

For the repellent coffee served with the omnipresent Logo staring at me?

For my Ego or intellect whatever you can call it being bruised during various sessions of highly inflated gyan..

I am glad for getting out of this claustrophobic place..a place called Office

Being surrounded by boxes n people who could be passed off as boxes.

Time for me to Breathe in some Fresh Air and try doing something more constructive with better boxes…opps better people.

The week that was.

2005-06-27T09:33:08Z

Been away for quite sometime from the internet..not that I Missed it too much, my parents and Bro were in Pune with us the whole of last week..

Just can’t remember how the week went by…

Should tell u guys we had been to Bombay last Sunday and with the monsoon’s deciding to enter Mumbai the same day ..we had a real wet Sunday…

We were soaked on the rain during out visit to Mahalakshmi Mandir… oour driver got lost with the car…we thought my dad went missing. (he went looking for the car by hiring a taxi;).bro was drencher head to toe… as he went looking out for dad near Haji Ali…all this barefoot (chappals were left in the car) in Mumbai with the rain lashing out on us!!

The next major trip was to Shirdi… Which is a 5 hr drive away from Pune….the darshan went off well..not too many adventures there

My mom went berserk in Tulsiwadi… (it’s a major commercial area in Pune,,with all clothes/accessories/jewellary shop )..she made us visit the same area 3 times in a time span of 5 days!!

Now everyone is back on their respective home turfs…So going through somekind of Empty nest syndrome ….

We went back to our green friends house to meet them after a long time,were just in time to catch a slide show on the habitats of a wet land in Aundh.My friend here is writing a book on the flora n fauna on BR hills,kalyan have u by any chance met these people???,, they are from a group called Kalpavriksh

Looks like the coming weekend also we will accompany them to a Nature Trail trek.

People leave Managers and Not Companies.

I read in an article,based on a Gallup Survey , which says that in most of the cases a person quits a job because of the Supervisor above him.

What do u think about it? Have you or anyone you know left an organisation because of a Supervisor?

How good /bad have your supervisors been?

Have they been the Mentors you hoped for or Just Passing the Buck Joe’s!

Do Share your views.

I can forward the article to anyone interested.

The best line I liked in the article is-

" It isn’t the 100th blow that knocks a good man down. It's the 99 that went before."

Its raining weddings!!!

Well guess its a natural phenomenon when u have friends of a particular age group.

Was looking at Vaishnavi’s photo , she does look so happy!!

I was remembering what we went thru , a few months ago…It all started out fine with the engagement ,muhurtham and all.. It was the reception which got us pooped!

Had to stand on the Dias for more than 4 long hours!! And go through gruelling photo sessions after that..

Every wedding is different,very different ……It’s a pity I am unable to attend so many of them as I am far from where the action is happening.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

2005-06-13T08:58:27Z

Your Birthdate: July 28

Your birth on the 28th day of the month (1 energy) adds a tone of independence and extra energy to your Life Path.
The number 1 energy suggest more executive ability and leadership qualities than you path may have indicated.
A birthday on the 28th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach.

Unlike much of the other 1 energy, this birthday is one that endow with the ability to start a job and continue on until it is finished.
You may prefer to use the broad brush, but you can handle details as well.
You are sensitive, but your feeling stay somewhat repressed.
You have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations.

Watched Parineeta on Saturday night.

I haven’t seen too many Vidhu Vinod Chopra movies , neither have I read any Sharat Chatterji novel.
So watching the movie from a novice’s eyes , I should say it’s a very well made movie.

I was most impressed by the leading lady, Vidya Balan.

Had seen her in some ads and Euphoria’s music video. She beats all other heroines with her expressive eyes.
Saif Ali Khan is also impressive , watch his transition from that Akshay Kumar movie to Parineeta , u can see his growth. Sanjay dutt,Dia Mirza have not too many scenes in the movie.

The songs are lovely. We had picked up the CD some months ago and so Arvind could be heard singing along during the songs ;)

So this was the highlight of the week , along with oodles of sleep and home cooked food.

No idea abt how the weekend was for my other friends on LJ.

Yippeee Weekend here!

2005-05-20T04:06:22Z

Hmm... The much awaited weekend is here with ppl from Blr coming home..Looking forward to some refreshing break !

Hopefully the long weekend will have much to offer..!

What am I doing here?
