Quest for change

2008-09-19T21:15:00.000-07:00

"Change" is the only constant part of human life. A feeling of being stuck in life creeps in at times.A flash of sudden thoughts : what am i doing everyday, its the same routine, office, home, cooking, food and the same weekend for sleep, games, outing.The rate at which change happens to a person depends on how well he/she is able to accept changes.

If i talk about me, i can accept things but takes a lil time(definitely not more than few days).These is with respect to people around me, i mean relationships. All other changes are welcomed with an ease. The days when you feel the need to talk to someone who really can take you the way you are, someone who can be more than a friend to you, someone with whom you feel THE SECURE are the days when you have a desire for a change that can turn your life, your likes and dislikes. This QUEST for change made its way unannounced, bringing in the faith of bearing gifts and blessings.

Pissed Of!!! Anger!! But y??

2008-09-06T20:04:00.000-07:00

y do u get pissed off and wat wil u do wen u get pissed off?????!!!!!!!!!!!

There would be many situations in life when we really get pissed off and don know what really has to be done.. Its sometime back i went through the same circumstance and i dont remember what i did. I still rememeber the words of my Prinicipal (during my school days). She always tells us "if you get angry just do a countdown from 1o to 1 before you react and you will be perfectly fine, out of anger and frustration". There are many times where i have failed to. Ofcourse i have implemented too. Keeping a control over anger is vital as many judge us only by the way we react at times.

Anger is a turbulent emotion, the boiling agitation of feelings. In short its a passion boiling within us. Theres a biblical saying "When angry, do not sin." In this verse, God is actually instructing us to be angry but about the right thing! Anger is an emotion created by God. He created us as emotional beings. The phrase “do not sin” is a check against going too far. The kind of anger that is justified because it is against sin and sinful things and fully under your control is a kind of anger that has God’s approval.

Why do we get pissed off and angry is a question that came to my mind now. Its not that easy to find an answer for this, its just a play of emotions at times. The best solution for not responding to such wild emotions is to have a good control over emotions. If you can listen to what’s going on and hold back long enough to think about what you are going to say, you can usually control your anger in healthy ways.

Heres a wonderful quote by Epictetus:
"If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: "I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day." When you reach thirty days, offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods."

WOODIES - V Call Ourselves!!!

2008-07-19T21:47:00.000-07:00

3725 and 3696 Hammerwood Ct people are called WOODIES.. Anyone pondering what this 3725 and 3696 is?? Its our house number. 6 of us, 2 in 3725 and 4 in 3696 together form the WOODIES. Am a new member to WOODIES since May. WOODIES formed in March'08.

We go offie together, cook together, dine together etc. Ofcourse, these people need to be introduced. Whom to start with???!! I will start with the senior infoscion amongst us.

He is Balaji Ammanji Sundararaju. His name says he his a Telugu and i believe this makes him more angry than anything. He jus yells "Hey Guysss am from the heart of Chennai. No way a Telugu. I donno which worst moment my dad gave such an expansion to my name. In school it was too short." So this is Balaji. He is ofcourse a good cook.

Next is Sriram. He is the 'bada' of the group. Most responsible person and takes care of mostly everything, understands people and situations well.But god knows what he's gonna say.

Next is Pradeep. I believe this guy needs a good description. He is talkative, gives lots of expressions, quite good at heart. According to these ppl its less compared to mine. But i strongly feel he overtakes me.

Next is shilpa, my dear roomie. She loves sleeping a lot, a dead fan of Harry Potter. She is ready to fight with anyone for Harry Potter.

Next is Hari, alias Pillaka. The youngest of the group, he jus pulls ppls leg and make us fight with him. He is actually Jack of all Traits. My guru in car driving!!

This is just a quick short introduction. Lotsss to talk about each, cherish all the good time.

Cheers to all.

Being Multilinguistic helps u a lot when you are at a place where you can never expect to find a group of people from same region.. When we are outside home and its like we have to find an accommodation it’s obvious that we prefer people from same state. But when outside India, we go for Indians irrespective of whichever part of India he/she is from.

I really haven’t felt adjusting is too difficult unless we dig into matters. Digging in ofcourse complicates things. Jus leave the way things come and pass. After all its Acceptance that matters. I have learned "ANYTHING + POSITIVE EMOTION is ACCEPTANCE." It’s difficult to practice most of the times but if we are prepared or have a mindset it would not be difficult.
I wanna talk for the title I mentioned. Am I Silent!!!!!!!!! I am going back a week to talk on this.. I had been for a long weekend trip. I was with a group which had a majority spoken language as Tamil. I can understand Tamil for sure. Anything that happened funny was conversed in the majority language. Though I can understand and enjoy the humor I badly felt I was going silent. Inside got a feel to talking many stuffs I felt funny and so on.. But language became a hindrance here. Ofcourse we do have the common language to communicate and express but after all own mother tongue helps you express more. :):)

Thoughts were running over my mind. Anything I found, I had a lot to talk about them. Everything I saw on the way looked beautiful and I wanna express its beauty but here I failed cos of the lack of fluency in the majority language. It isn’t ofcourse difficult to learn a language but expressing is. That moment is when I felt what’s happening, Am unable to talk and express. People usually wanna me be to be silent and now I feel am extremely silent. I have a friend who once gave me a Chewing Gum jus to keep me silent. Also pulled me to a game in which I have to be silent for an hour and then the turn would be his. For few hours I hated my silence cos i felt my silence is gonna make people think am no way enjoying their company though I really was. I realized in my mind's eye its always better to know a feeling of silence at times so that i can spend sometime for me and was pleased as a punch.

I learned times of silence helps know ourselves better. Its jus no noise coming out of you but your mind and heart talks a lot. I enjoyed the silence.

Not in 4 years, but in 4 days...

A blog for me tooo.. This was a desire i had.. The long bench period in my career made me think so.. I started with publishing a site for me, web pages and then to blog... All remained in START mode.. i put no effort in MOVING it..

For past couple of days i have been reading few of my friends posts and today am here with one of my posts.
Its not a post as such rather an esteem for a friend..

I have decided to dedicate this post for this friend of mine. I have known this person for quite long yearss.. but i really knew him wellbfor last 4 daysss... Surprising is it??!!!!!! Neednt be.. Cos the way he is outside he will never let u know wats wthin him.. To add on i had never tried to know more about him ever since i knew him... few situations n circumstances i should say, rather my open mindedness helped me know. Y i used 'my open mindedness' is cos though i get along with ppl soon i confine myself with a group and didnt want to know more about many..

Seriouslyyy.. i couldnt believe.. a person who is like him could keep lotss within and in no way is shown out.. I REALLY ADMIRE IT... None can ever get a presumption that he has undergone something exhaustive unless n until he comes n tells u.. I have always seen him energetic, ready for anything, eagerly waiting to barge on people for anything and everything..

Here i hav to tel my friend AS ALL SAYand TOLD IN SIMPLE WORDS IS "Everything happens for the BEST.." Friend... U r adorable.. Theres nothing wrong in cherishing the moments but never let it dishearten you..

I know this post has a personal feel and touch.. Still i wish and want to post this cos i have got to know a friend more closely..

Be back soon.....
