it is not thought-less-ness

This is the last evening of my long weekend. There is no body around and I am sitting in my living room, resting on this wooden wall, with no soft pillow acting as the middleman.

Absolute thoughtless I am would be a wrong statement though. What won’t be wrong is something is going on in my mind… which I am not able to follow. Let me correct this some more… some thing is going on… in my subconscious mind or my unconscious mind or may be at even a deeper level, which my conscious mind is not able quantify…

I am not sure what this is… but what i am sure is it is not thought-less-ness!

Dinner @ My New Work Place

The company I work for provides free dinner for those who work late. I am here since more than a week now and have been observing whats happenings around. It was more intuitive in nature than intentional. Few things that I have observed till date are:

They provide the dinner around 6.30 in the evening. Most of the crowd leaves at 7.00.

People drink Coca Cola and Diet Coke more than water!

As most of us don’t know the name of the dishes they provide, but the plates are almost filled, in spite of doubt. Nearly half of them find their place in the trash.

I am not being judgemental, at least not yet. Few more of the observations may flow in and I am waiting for them!!!

I am bored…

Not much is there on my mind at the moment, except that I am really bored !!!

What will be the last thing to do ?

‘What will be the first thing you do if you get 1 crore rupees now ?’

It was just another lunch in the office cafeteria, when someone threw in the topic. There were four of us and each one came up with a different answer. Like ‘I will go on a vaction’, ‘I will buy a nice car for my mother’, ‘I will quit the job’ etc.

Indian Homemaker‘s  this post reminded me of this month-old discussion, which I took forward that day by throwing in one more question in the air and it was –

‘ What will be the last thing you do with the remaining of that 1 crore rupees ?’

What will you do ???

6 souls and 3 hot sunny days

Recently I had a trip to Vizag. A get together was planned during the three day long vacation and we thought of shifting it to Vishakapatnam. Since a long time I had thought of visiting the city and staying there for some time. These three days came as an opportunity to fulfill that wish!

The days in Vishakapatnam were real hot, but they couldn’t stop us from criss-crossing the entire city more than once. We visited a lot of places… and I really liked most of them. The fun filled Rishikonda beach and the picturesque views from on top of Kailash Giri were breath taking. But the best thing was Yarada Beach. It was clean, well maintained, with lovely blue water away from the city and its crowd. It was a real place to go where one can bath, relax, spend some quality time and just be himself.

that’s life!

It was like one of those good old nights… it was a friend by my side talking…talking… and talking. We talked about every thing… just everything!

Nostalgic moments of childhood, the experience of growing up in a small town surrounded by scenic nature… the place we love so much, as well the moments of going away from it in search of bread… the moments of meeting new faces only to be an old friend later… finding a home away from home…our words had the gratitude towards Life for all those lovely moments it has blessed us with…so they had innocent acceptance of being stunned for it came with all those surprises at times when they were least expected…

it was the early hours of today when we gave up to our closing eyelids… only to wake up to hear a friend over the phone saying that he has been transferred to his home and is leaving this evening, after being together for three long years!

 With yet another surprise smiling before me, I woke up while the friend was still dreaming his way!

a lot is happening

A lot is happening and I don’t think I can resist them all coming out here… I have been quite inactive inexpressive on my blog, perhaps I didn’t feel like doing so! But I wasn’t inactive as reading on the blogosphere was on and I read some real interesting posts and commented on few of them as well. But as the storm is getting wilder as days pass few things will be coming out… for sure…

Uncared for ???

Just ask for it….whatever you need…awesome na!

The Sunday was pretty normal. I am quite enthusiastic about Sunday s as on this day I don’t need to hurry up myself… to take bath, to gulp my breakfast and to run, coz the day is to live for myself rather than for my employer…

I was going through the Sunday Times of India when I came through this article named Just ask for it. A beautiful short article about how often we don’t ask for what we want, and simply we don’t get it for most of the time.

Isn’t it that simple? Yet how often we remember this when we feel uncared for or mistreated?

In my response to “Scrap The Spending Limit”

Some times I read ‘The Indian Economy Blog’. I like the kind of articles are published over there. In response to such a thought provoking article Scrap The Spending Limit I gave this comment.

 We cannot always take the law for a ride, and if the enforcing agency is really willing to enforce the law, it becomes a nightmare for the violators! The brightest of the examples is the last general elections in Bihar, where many of us remember how the election commissioner personally toured every nook and corner in Bihar, sometime even on motorcycle, to ensure everything to be free and fair!

But to be very frank, how many times does it happen? You, me and everyone knows the answer! Corrupt people do get away through many loop holes that exist. It is the honest ones who suffer! But at the same time we cannot remove the spending limit as a whole, because that is not the solution.

 The solution lies in enforcing the law, strictly! It is time we have to find alternative ways to do so, rather than the traditional ones! At the same time we have to make the law more applicable by revising it to suit the time’s need!

Time n Tide

Time and tide take its turn…. I was told. Don’t remember who and when…

Yes, they do! For sure…
