Parting Ways..

"Jisse hai kho jaana , woh miltha hi kyun hai "!! I have been musing over this for sometime now , but still deprived of a suitable answer. There are certain questions that will remain unanswered in all of our lives and this might be one among them for many of us . In our day to day life we meet numerous personalities , some of which are totally repelling , some that attract us in many different ways and many others who just pass by, as we take a stroll through our lives . Its quite surprising how people initially meet as strangers and later how they become inevitable in each other's lives. But seldom do they know if they might part their ways in the long journey of life !Some people meet , like each other , be there for each other life long , but there are those who think they are made for each other, but soon get distant.



I would think at times what if we had some kinda power or may be a time machine that will take us and show our future, Our future together , then will there be less chances of divorce ...Oh how childish am i to think such vague situations !! Anyhow reality is different from fantasies , but we do slip into such stupid thoughts at times .What thrill is there if we know the climax of any book that we read or any movie that we watch if know beforehand? If anybody tells me the climax of a book or a movie , there is no other thing that I get most mad about :) Same is the case with our lives ..But we all do have a curiosity factor in us which drives us crazy at times to have a sneak peak into our future lives and to know whether the person that one have met today is the right person that he/she should be spending their life with. I guess this is running through most of our minds when it's time to choose our better half. As They say life is unpredictable and dynamic. No one knows what's in stock for them . If two people have to part ,no matter ,they will ...as no one will know whether they are meant to be so ..


What ever be the case, when it's time to be with god , two people do part with each other in life , but may be if they are really meant to be together , they will still be together in their after life . In spite of all these facts we know , we still like to be ignorant at times. don't we ?? :) And that is what keeps us going ..

Karthik Calling Karthik - A good one-time watch!

Is it the film title that intrigued me or is it the lead actor that enthralled my heart and incited me to go for the movie..? Nevertheless, I did watch the movie yesterday,that too in PVR! But it was worth watching I must say atleast for Farhan Aktar.You will be amazed to see how he has grown as an actor. It’s a delight to watch him especially in the scene where he reforms himself, wears his “attitude” and comes up in an all new avatar! This is the most loved scene in the movie .He has portrayed whole lot of emotions in the movie .His lighter side is also well formulated and it has worked well!

Even though the movie is based on Schizophrenia , which had already been beautifully captured and portrayed in the English movie , “A Beautiful Mind “ , but this movie still leaves its own impact in the viewer’s heart. It was a complete thriller and the movie has been successful in making the audience glued to their seats until the very end.At times you do feel the very next scene obvious, but there comes another twist and the unexpected is what happens.

The movie scripting is really impressive and the dialogues are awesome.

Adding on to the beauty of the movie is the music, well, I must say Shankar-Ehsaan –Loy was at their best. The songs go along with the movie and you can find happy, soulful, and sad songs -all genres blended throughout the movie.

Deepika has a very less role to play, but yes, her presence does keep the movie pleasant!

Farhan has a good potential as an actor, he should keep on experimenting.

One more thing which excited me what the location shown in the later half  of the movie, which was none other than my hometown “Cochin “!

Anyway, I enjoyed the movie; it’s a good one time watch.

Learning to accept change .....!

Two years before when I stepped on Bangalore soil, the air was filled with overwhelming exuberance and my mind brimming with never ending excitement. Now looking back to those days and then to my present day, do I feel the same vibration in the air…??? No not really! Changes have invariantly masked the essence and the warmth of life!! Coming to Bangalore, in fact to a place outside my native, was a dream come true for me! New world...New life...New people. Above all, the thought of being with my fellow mates together in a magnificent city…all these made my mind jumping with joy…!

The same momentum continued for around 1 yr….then what happened???? Where and why did all those exhilarating moments die off???? Changes…yes changes are the one and only factor that have crept into life …forcing and imposing its turbulent decrees upon each and every one of us. Many of my friends took a transfer and went back to their hometown. That is where the parting started. Initially we all used to hang out frequently, had a coordinator to organize mini reunions. But later everyone was quaffed by the so called “corporate” and hence began the rising distance between all of us.

Further added to the widening breach were the marriages. I am not antagonistic about getting married but just pointing out a few events that had drastically turned down the situation then and now. In fact I am too happy for all my friends who are living their life happily married. Today all are busy earning for themselves. I am not picking apart anyone in this context , but there are a few of them whom I do meet even today , who do have time and who do think rendezvous with their friends can really boost them up and give them a break from the hectic work life.

It’s hard to accept all these changes in life, but it is true that changes are natural and an inevitable part of life. I am not yet able to accept the change that has happened; may be that is why I am penning down my thoughts right here. As life moves on, we all have to move along and I know everyone of us can do that even though an initial detrition exists and later on may catch along with the pace of life. My life too has witnessed changes in just these two years. Speaking about my career, it has also taken me down from my anticipation, but I am hoping that in coming days I will learn to accept these changes and embrace them and hence will be in a better position both mentally and emotionally and A new day will rise in front of me calling out to me that makes me feel life much lighter and more delightful.

A Surge of Pain!!!!!!!!

As usual, I climbed down my office bus and started walking to my office building. I saw “Mr. Determined” , today also. He is a short, with some deformity in his legs because of which he has trouble walking .Most of the days I observe him, the manner in which he climbs the elevated areas, the effort he takes to carry himself up to his building, but all this he does so normally that I used to wonder how he manages it. Initially I used to feel sympathy for him but later it became respect. Today he was just walking in front of me. I was observing him .I felt happy for him and wished he reached safely to his office. I crossed the road and was about to climb the footpath. Suddenly something happened before me , that all of a sudden put me in shock!! Mr. Determined had fallen just like that!! He was also trying to climb onto the footpath. Somehow he couldn’t get his legs out there properly and he had trembled down! A surge of pain rushed through my whole body. I rushed towards him, two other girls joined me. But before we could reach out for help, he had almost gotten back on his own!!!! He started walking away as if nothing had happened .I was totally astonished by his act!! I stood there watching him moving away until he vanished …I was praying for such a thing to never happen again with anyone…. Really, If each one of us starts thinking like this man and gets up each time trouble wraps us around, and face them with courage and determination how beautiful our life would be!!!!!!!

Zest for Life!

Have any of us given a thought as to why we live?Does we live only becoz we are provided a life and hence we are supposed to live or else does we all have a purpose for our life?Iam sure only a very few fall under the thought of the latter category I have quoted here.In that case what is it that drives such people to go forward with their life?What is that innate power that boosts them?Where do they get the energy ..the Thrive..the Yearning to live a beautiful life ..(although the definition for "beautiful life" varies for each one of us!).

The passion one has for his life is never bound by what had happened to him /her in the past, but by the focus, the energy that god bestows us to stand before him, and to abide by the duties he had placed for each and everyone of us.It is his strength on which we live...we thrive...

This doesn't mean that one has to give away all his enjoyment ...fun...to fully streamline oneself to his/her duties ...but take it along while u enjoy ur life....Life is for living ...enjoy it to the fullest..Life should be a proper blend of both of these....One should have optimism for the future..Life is not always a bed of roses...It is said that inner strength comes from struggle and endurance...and one should face and surpass all the difficulties with utmost courage and strength ,and by being positive towards your life will never end up ,u running into a bay of darkness.One can relish from one's life if he/she have the passion ,the vitality and energy for life.

The straightcut way to boost yourself and mould yourself the way you want to and to find what is it that is hindering you to move with your life is to ask oneself certain questions like..

"Is there somethng missing in my life?","Do I long to change the way I feel about myself?" ,"Am I feeling stuck and don't I have the energy to change?","Have I got much more inside of me than I am expressing rite now?".

All this simply means that discover who you really are..what you really want ...and what you are really capable of in this life....These days there are no limit to what anyone can achieve and no age barriers either.We all have certain burning ambitions and its all about showing that its never too late to bring a desired dream to life.Most cynical individual unlock creativity,add sparkle to life ,boost self confidence and reshape your world from simply existing...to bouncing out of bed each day!No matter who you are and what you can do.....just take the initiative...success is just the second part!

Trying to think all the possible ways as how to get the best out of life will shove you lot many ways to do the same.Success is what is measured by others but satisfaction is what is measured by you.Always have a look at how far you have come and how far you can still go further.Many may wonder or find it difficult to find the purpose for their life...If you can't find it..create it..

Life is not a process of discovery..but a process of creation!Face your past without regret.Handle your present with confidence.Prepare for the future without fear.Keep the faith and drop the fear.Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs.Life is a mystery to solve ..not a problenm to resolve.Life is wonderful if you know how to live.Always remember that..

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!"

How Assuasive are Songs!!!!

Now, sitting in my cubicle and listening to a beautiful love song.."kuch is tarah teri palkein"....i really dont know which world Iam in....in fact to which world has this song taken me!! Iam sure almost all of you would agree to me when i say that listening songs really play an important part in our life ..in one way or the other.To be frank,i do live on them...can't imagine my life without songs....!I dont really remember wen I fell in love with them...infact I had a connection....a "divine connection ", I would like to say.From childhood itself I was mad about music..to be succinct, .romantic numbers...it always have had a pacifying effect whatever state my mind was in.

There has been many situations in my life when songs have been a great support to me...I preferred to be alone ..still I prefer to be alone ....especially whenever sometin hurts my mind....Listening to soothing numbers in such situations hav really helped me a lot to pour out all my sorrows ....and regain the balance of my mind.I have read somewhere that songs are used to cure many ailments ... many a times it is used as a depression treatment where in vibrations are used to restore balance in affecting blood pressure,breathing ,pulse,body rythms and tension.In many of our films the effect of songs have been shown(mostly it is hyped ),but what I have found from those are that... ya...songs do create an impact in our body n soul ..gives us some kind of strength , both mentally and physically which , some may feel and some may not.Have a look at this link

Our Indian history has also witnessed the power of music,in the form of Miyan Tansen ,one of the navaratnas(9 jewels) in the court of Mughal Emperor,Akbar.Among the legends about Tansen are stories of his bringing down the rains with Raga Megh Malhar and starting fires with the legendary raga Deepak. Other legends tell of his ability to bring wild animals to listen with attention (or to talk their language). Once, a wild white elephant was captured, but it was fierce and could not be tamed. Finally, Tansen sang to the elephant who calmed down and the emperor was able to ride him.Even the old testament mentions music therapy where King David is said to have cured an illness by playing on the harp.

Music Therapy ,as it is called is a proven scientific method to cure diseases through the power of music. It restores, maintains and improves emotional, physiological and psychological well being. The articulation, pitch, tone and specific arrangement of swaras (notes) in a particular raga stimulates, alleviates and cures various ailments inducing electro magnetic change in the body.As Iam from down south of India,I have had a chance to learn classical music and have come to know(though very little) the impact that different ragas create in our minds.It has been said that repeated listening to a particular raga invokes a particular mood in the listeners.For more information check out this linkhttp://www.indiaprofile.com/ayurveda/musictherapy.htm

In a nutshell,Music/songs are the best tranquilisers in the modern era ...where in people including myself is struggling with a life in a small box called cubicle and another tiny box called computer.!
"Kuch is tarah teri palkein meri palkhon se mila de
Aansu tere saare meri palkhon pe saja de...
Tu har ghadi har waqt mere saath raha hai
Haan ye jism kabhi door kabhi paas raha hai
Jo bhi gham hai ye tere unhe tu mera batah de...

Mujhko tho tere chehre pe ya gham nahin jajtha
Jaayaez nahun lagtha mujhe gham se tera rishtha
Sun meri guzarish ..inhe chehre se hata de..."

Handling Relationships.....

Many a times I do wonder seeing my parents who handle each other so well , eventhough small fights keeps on happening..so many misunderstandings keeps on swirling between them.Earlier even I thought I would be able to handle all my relationships with the same attitude that my parents used to show with each other.Never at any point in my life ,till now, have I thought a moment will huddle in front of me where I'l be standing facing so many relations ...and not knowing how to handle each of them in its own way!

Iam here talking about the relationship basically vth my peer opposites...I was too late compared vth others to start making up good relations vth my peer opposites..I never cared about having such bonds and was totally unaware of what it brings out in my life...The start of such a relationship had given me so much so happiness....(now i wonder if it was really meant for me!)...so much have changed in me ever since.I used to feel ecstacy at one point in my life...but as life moves on, a wierd thought has hastened my mind so efficaciously that I have started having a conflict nevertheless so ravishing!

I was able to take away all my relationships so smoothly along with my life..but now something strange ...some unknown gust of thought has wrapped me up which is giving me a tough time handling my relationships..Now I wonder why have I gone deep into many a relationship..I wonder did I really had to go such deep??At times I feel I hate all those who have been my close ones...I feel I should never have had any of them ....Iam independent..I ought to be independent...

I really dont know what have made me think like this..but as of now am really having a tough time sustaining all the relationships..some, which have unknowingly been mended and some which I myself have mended ...I feel to breakup all the links that have kept me bound in this small litttle world of mine..I thrive..i long to be myown self...I have always been under the influence of one or the other..previously i loved to be under the influence of someone...i loved to have someone to take control of me..but now i truely hates anything thats trying to make its impact on me...I purposely avoid all such moves all such minute happenings that may have had some impact on me...I always yearned to be independent..to be my own...but never have i been able to achieve what i actually wanted....Today,still I dont feel I have or I will be able to climb even one of th steps to my desire...but may be that longing for my independence have suddenly become so strong that it has started erupting out of my mind so furiously indicating what i have always thought,perhaps is not that far ........
