Chennai Calling....

The wait has come to an end and I would be heading to Chennai to start my work. A new place, a new culture, a new language, a new work and new friends to look forward to.... I would not say that blogging would stop, but yes for definitely there is an indefinite pause... Hopefully I will come back soon to blogging leisurely but for as of now its Chennai Calling for me...

Purple Haze would ring a bell to the people of Bangalore and specially the pubites of Bangalore. I happened to be at this place yesterday giving company to my friend and then I hear this song being played by the DJ. I was startled by the lyrics of this song and the way this Brit band had put it together. Well the lyrics are posted and you wouldn't want to miss out on the song too so try the link given below to download the song:

Apparently this song is played at the very famous ISCKON Temple....

Blah-Blah-Blah

I was thinking about my MS Finance days and suddenly this struck me which put a smile on my face. There are many instances which bring smile to my face but this has come from "The Vault", meaning one of the easily forgettable ones.

I, Anisha and Sanjay make a very nice little group and believe me whenever we come together, there is something bound to happen. Well I'll let you know about those incidents sometime later.

This happened during our exams, and suddenly I was frustrated that I am learning accounts ( I dont like Cost Accounting) and specially belonging from the Science fraternity, learning this subject became even more boring. I started abusing the subject and reason for which was everything was so stereotyped. I did not like the fact that accounts is done as said in books and there is no way you can apply your mind to it, unlike science which teaches you to discover, invent and innovate. I dont say that the field of commerce does not have innovation, but definitely not what Science offers. Continuing, the moment I said this, the two people who were studying with me in the same living room could not digest the fact and there started a debate on this topic (Anisha and Sanjay are from Commerce backgrounds, so you know full feeling for both of them). I was one man standing firm on my points and the other 2 stalwarts bent upon proving me wrong. Blah-Blah-Blah.... At the end of the day there was no conclusion on the debate and ultimately we 3 realized the waste of time and got back to work.

If you ask me even now I feel the same, so no point arguing I guess. All-in-all it brought a smile on my face...

Mixed Feelings!!

The countdown has begun for me, and I have to start a new life altogether at a totally different place. I am talking about my joining with a company for which I have been waiting for atleast 2 months now. All this while I was at home, trying to find out what to do every single day and somehow managed to complete each day till now. I am definitely excited to go back to where I belong to, to start using my knowledge, to contribute something to the organisation for which I would be working for and keep myself occupied with 'work' which all my other friends are into and are absolutely busy. Looking at the flip side I have also started thinking rather feeling, that I would be deprived of all the luxuries of home. I was the king at home, could do anything at anypoint of time which I liked to do the best but as the course of life continues all those things are the experiences to cherish for a long time. Well I am very eager to go ahead and start a new beginning at the same time feeling sad for having to leave my home soon and get into the the work life for rest of my life. Suddenly I am feeling that these 2 months were very short and the remaining few days will finish all what I have enjoyed so far, only to end up at WORK for the rest of my life.

Coming to another thing which is haunting me all the time is whether I would be able to maintain the same kind of relationship with all my friends which I have been doing all these years. When I see my friends working so hard I am scared of getting into the same kind of routine. I am not worried about working hard but yes worried about not being able to spend that same amount of quality time which I used to. I am not sure of the work pressure, but I am getting prepared for sparing time for my friends (provided if they have too) and feel I am not in the process of forgetting people and behave like strangers when met. I really hope all of us find out time for each other and get back those quality times which we used to spend together.

I never knew I had so many Qualities!!!

Aaahhh!!! finally I finished my internship and was getting prepared to finish lot of things related to it and wanted to complete it with perfection. Many a times I used to think that I have to follow a "To-Do" list which was never implemented but this time around without my concious effort I started scribbling on a notepad about the work which I had to do on that day and amazingly sorted out in sequence as to what should be done first.

1. Lab
2. Printouts
3. Replace
4. Office
5. College
6. Collect

After following such a nice 'to-do' list I was very satisfied but again I know my self so very well that this will never be implemented again....

Wanted to blog this down so that atleast I feel proud of myself sometimes....

Refined or Redefined?

When asked about Children:

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Last nite I was reading "The Prophet" by Khalil Gibran and after going through the above lines, I just can't describe what I felt, made lot of sense to me.
