Come on it is time to be Positive... Atleast at times.. and let it be now.

Life through out has gone in complaining.... about things around, about parents, friends, teachers, food, clothing, blah, blah, blah.. Will there not be a time when everything around us look beautiful and just the way we want..

The longing to see things come our way has turned our lip boat upside down :( cribbing has given us a pleasure but a very bad urge of doing it more often, Bickering has become part and parcel of everyday's life.. which only also created a fear.. "would others also do the same about me the way I do about them?????????"

Point that started in confusion gave no end, but - a lead to another confusion...

I asked myself - "Can i not be Positive??? yaar atleast at times????

Now come on let that time be RIGHT NOWWWWWWWW............

My Life my way..........Yo!!!!!!!!!!

Can I Live my Life

Most of the time it so happens people are not let to live their life at their decision.. So many things around to stop them, advice them, prevent them, trap them from doing wat they really want.. A straight NO, big restriction saying you will not do it it is not going to work out...

Losers are sometimes made spite of the scorching fire in them to win..

I keep praying the lord... "Can i Live my Life"... pleaseeeeeeeee.

It is all the time that drives one

I have always been sad for small things in life, cry for little excitement and shock, feel am the lonely person in the entire world, think why am i here this moment, what have i achieved in life. I had mistaken that life is always such unknown sorrows.
It took 24 years for me to find that life is to live every moment that we come across and find joy in every bit we do. People get driven by the materialistic pleasures and pray for all richness in world for self (including me) when the real joy and god is in you.
It is just the time that answers us where we are gonna be tomorrow. Until that time comes which we know is always gonna be future lets enjoy the present.

Cheers

I could only watch :-(

This might be a very familiar scene for people who travel in the local trains. This one was asusual captured when i was traveling to Office in a train towards central. It is fun for some, irritation for few but this has become life for them. Are these children born to live their life this way. Oh man the kid whom you can see pleading for alms and money seems so talented and energetic. I was just so amazed the way she twisted, turned and brought her her hands tied together putting her legs in to it, bringing behind and over her head back to position, standing upside down. Kids living royal life may not even possess such wonderful strength in them. Who knows if she was in Gymnastics she is one another feather to the country's crown. All I could do that moment was to give her an old 5 Rupee note :-( . My age and the need to grow more in terms of achievement is not letting me do anything really great or meaningful. Hope one such day comes in my life.

Sad at nothing

Sirisha is sad at nothing these days.... wanna come out of this depression....

Money is'nt everything

Hi am here again after a long time.. to write about an incident I captured. I was waiting to board a train @ Gudur Railway station way back to Chennai. I noticed a boy, should be between 15 to 17 yrs, an orphan. He had a small baby monkey with him, it was squeaking so loudly which actually caught my attention to him. I should say that it was tooooooo pranky one, running here and there not keeping itself in a place. The boy called it and he started to feed some tea or coffee, dipping his fingers in to a disposable cup and making the little prankster lick. I started capturing him on my mob as usual and he somehow noticed it. And I shut my recording after a while. And he came to me calling “ Akka Akka” asking for some money. Gave him some change I had and there came a person middle aged to the boy asking “ enti ra ee kothi naaku isthava 500 isthaanu” (Translation – Hey will u gimme this monkey I will pay you 500) He just looked at him and said “idhi naadhi kaadhandi, valani adagali” (Translation – It is not mine, I need to ask) and went away. I need to say it was so obvious that he does not have to ask anyone, after all I can see both of them are orphans, he did not wanna get parted from this being (a new found friend for him). To escape more questions from the gentleman the boy just got down from the platform to the track and got on to the next platform. I was just thinking, he definitely needs money and 500 is a lottery for him, still he denied it. As I was thinking this, I could still hear the prankster squeak loud from the next platform happily.

Child Labor - Rescue

Heeyyy after a real long time, now I pulled out some time to blog. Something exciting and nice to share. I had been longing to spend a day into something other than watching movies and lunching out. I saw a mail from my office service team which was informing about their plans to get into Child Labor rescue. That is it; I immediately called up the organizer to confirm my presence to volunteer for the program. The plan gave a little hesitation in the beginning coz they had planned to children working in some shops, hotels and so on. They were planning to take help of cops if the owners don’t co operate, which sounded risky but then I said myself "if not now then when". Next day (04 Jul 09) all volunteers and organizers met at Ripon Building. From there we started to Mylapore to spot a Child labor working in a hotel as reported by one of our colleague. But then the boy wasn’t there so the rescue team demanded a letter from the owner agreeing that he will not involve in deploying child labor. From there we started off to spot the next child in the list we had, who happens to work for an Iron shop, but before we reached our target destination I spotted a boy (Manigandan in the pic) working in a Mechanic shop, we stopped the vehicle and the Government Child rescue team members and NGO Child rescue team members went to the shop and started arguing with the owner of the shop and we slowly joined them. In few minutes, could see the place was jammed and everybody stopped their vehicles to see what was going on. Also had to call the COPS since the owner was not letting us take the kid with us. And with the help of COPS we rescued the boy and took him to the Child welfare office of the NGO for the boy’s shelter. Before leaving I just spoke to the boy who was by then in a sad state just to give him a feel of comfort. He said “I wanna go home” I said you will be given proper schooling – and there comes the reply “ I don’t wanna study I wanna work” asking him why, he said “ my parents are too old they can’t work” My eyes went moist that moment, but dint wanna show him and wanting to make him feel relaxed, told him his parents would be called and they will be given options to do some easy work from home and he can take up some vocational courses if don’t wanna study" which is offered by this NGO. Rescuing is just not the task now that I am part of it I should track on how it is taken forward, Anything big happens for once in Life – either good or bad – and keep its impact lifelong. I wanna give this little boy a good one. Hope god gives his support for this good cause.

Tooooooooo Busy

Sirisha is just too busy these days... Trainings Trainings and Trainings... but yeah am occupied all the time it keeps me going :-) .. Today my Sis and Teju has come... yipeee... I missed teju so much.. must have seen her dance video in one of her blog.. yo man... time just flies when we r with her..... hoping to have some nice time with her some daysss.. yeahhhhhhhhh

What did life give them?

What do you think life teaches these kids. When i saw these children were having a cup of tea with biscuits from a near by tea stall at Ethiraj salai. They were about to leave and I could see his brother not much big in size than the ones we see here in the pic. He had a sac and I could see that he is a boy who collects plastic from the road and bins. He does not know what he is doing but he does it and also feed these young ones (could not click him :-( ) I am ashamed that i did not help them in any means. This would remain a pain in me when ever i see this pic. Hope i get a time when i can also do something for such kids.

It was a good week...

Heey hii.. Week was great (with not many difficulties I meant)… some changes in team and some of additional tasks on track. It makes me exciting to do something away from the routine task.
But one thing I noticed about myself is that I am going greatly lazy these days. Need to work on it.
I had been to my company fresher’s induction as a speaker (introducing my team to the young joiners); they must be with their high spirits and energies about their career and new phase. I was just flowing back into my old memories, exactly a year ago; I was at the same place into an induction when I joined this organization.
Hey and yes, we went to “Angels and Demons” this week. Unlike usual where we all used to assemble well on time, missed the first 15 minutes of the show, so could not understand head or tail of it. I should have read the book before I went for this.
Now, I have decided no movies for next few weeks, need to give a break for anything in life, otherwise even this would go routine isn’t it. So need to think of something else interesting and informative to do during the week ends. I am thinking of books as my choice. Lemme see if it works.

Mera Baarath Mahaan

On Tuesday as usual I was going to my work place, I boarded a bus at central and when I was boarding I could hear a co passenger (a middle aged woman) telling another woman “why don’t you let her sit she has to carry even her baby”, and the other lady who was sitting replies, “so what can I do, everybody has some or the other problems, even I can’t stand let her ask someone else to let her sit”. I got busy in getting my ticket and once done I realized how my shoulders were going numb.. yaar my Laptop (If only we r paid to carry our laptops too :-( ) I asked the lady sitting nearby if she can keep my laptop until I get down, and immediately with no pause or hesitations the lady responds “no no I cant hold such heavy load, you give it to someone else”, I just stared at her (to the core that if I had powers I would have burnt her to ashes) and I realized this is the same lady who dint let the other poor lady to sit who was carrying her kid. It is so weird that being a woman she dint understand the pain of other, and even as a normal and minimal human tendency to help was missing so much abrupt in her. We ladies, especially in India are said kind hearted, always compared to flowers, chillness, delicate and so on. But the real fact is what I experienced yesterday. And still we say “Mera Baarath Mahaan”

My First Anniversary with my company

Dudes,

This Tuesday June 16, 2009 I completed a year in my company, It just gave me great feel.

I left ACES a year ago????????? Oh maaa, life moves so fast, the beauty is I still have the great contacts with my dear ones from ACES, in fact it is really great now.

This is how I want my Saturdays ever

As I expected, Saturday was really awesome. As planned we went to Bow’s place to visit her and the new born (actually we are ashamed for our delayed visit, we went to see the baby after about a month and a half) We wanted it to be surprise visit but as usual my intelligence gave her a clue about our visit (when I called Bow pretending as if it is my regular call that I give her enquiring if she has not gone to her in law’s place, somehow made her guess our visit).
So finally me, Jini and Meow went to her place and gotta see the cute Kirit – oops Bow wants us to call him Krishant, had some loud gossips and fun. From there we dragged Meow to watch a movie; we kept hunting for a good Non - Veg restaurant. So wanted to get the tickets first and then go for lunch (my ultimate goal was to watch a movie than anything else) and there comes a Romeo walking to us and tell me “Am very tired ” before even I could realize what was he trying to say he walked off smiling at us, hooo. Got our tickets and we got into Hotel Buhari – A hotel that gives an auspiciously prepared Biriyani. We expected an AC hall, but we were told “No AC hall mam” :-(, hunger already grumbling, we went in, but should really appreciate the Customer Service we received there, we only felt if there was an AC Hall we would prefer coming here next time. Having done with our Lunch, went to shop for a new Footwear for Meow. Not satisfied we reached theatre to catch our show, “PASANGA” machi semma kalaai movie that is all I can say about it. For the first time I did not worry about the story script or the moral of it, but enjoyed every bit of the movie dialogue thoroughly. I ended up having a heavy head ache after all that laughter. Managed to find a tea stall outside the theatre and ultimately we saw that the stall was next to a wine shop so quickly gulped my tea and came from there and we all 3 departed from there. Hoo but once I came home I had to make it to hospital to get my throat infection treated, had to inject 2 bottles of Glucose and 2 Syringes :-( With all my tiring day out, I slept well at hospital :-).

Heeeeeeeeey Dudes

Dint get to blog for the whole week, was working till 11 in the night due to late evening training sessions for people from other countries.. Hoo for once we have completed a real hectic schedule of Trainings at work. My Throat is badly infected coz of the continuous sessions, Ya i know what would be running in your mind, Sirisha tired of Talking? Wat to do even Sirisha is not able to believe. But it was a quite nice experience and kept me occupied, in a way kept me away from some of the worries for a while.

The entire week i had been showing off Mera naya Sun Glasses :-)

Am waiting to do something interesting tomor. Lemme wait and see.

Till then..

Hee Hee

Oh wow look at the way she enjoys dancing... I keep saying mom that she will become a dancer like what i wanted to become and could not. (was taken in november

She is choooooo chweet

Saturdays brings me life after the hectic week

Heeyyy...

Today was a freak out day after a long time ( :-( was too busy with trainings for two months and too tired during the weekends coz of the tight schedule, I had decided not to let myself tempted to go out until my trainings are done, but could not resist anymore) as usual with a last min plan on Friday eve, with no tickets blocked we decided to go for a movie, I was so desperate that I said - I don’t mind any crap movie but will go for one. I suggested for Pasanga or Angels and Demons, Nollene suggested for sarvam and Jai for Kulir 100 degree.. with lots of debate we froze two.. Angels and Demons or Kulir.. Checked for tickets and - not available at better and descent theatres... so decided to go to "Shanthi" at 10.30 (we know how Indian Flexible time works) As usual i was the first one to reach... show was at 11.45.. reached at 11.00 itself thinking will not get the tickets otherwise.. I could see not much crowd with little hesitation (the girlish feel made me think more than twice before going to the counter) and know what i could hardly see 3 to 4 at the counter and I said 4 tickets and I saw that she strikes her copy for 4 seats and gave me the tickets and I could see the tickets i got was just in row 2 (until 45 minutes before the movie was about to begin). My expectancy for a good movie went down little.... Dint wanna stand alone went in to the opposite Saravana bhavan... dint know what to have but I need some shade to stand for a while - Ordered a Chocolate ice-cream. Done with my cup had to come out from there and wait.. and slowly comes one by one at 11.30 and 11.45... With little fun already started chatting we went into the hall... and there comes the 4th dude after the show was up. Grrrrrrrr The real junk in the interval - Popcorns, Kurkure, Samosas, Pepsi, cofee hooooooooooo. Actually we had plans for lunch after movie, now you know how we would go with that plan.. Then we started to think - what is this movie all about, what does this title really say - we started making our own analysis and having hearty laugh & fun but - just waiting for the show to end.... Then i went to buy my new sun glasses to Spencers - i tired at least 25 - 30 of them, and my friend kept commenting and suggesting on each one. Finally chose a classic and cool Fast track piece - hoo hoo.. I was longing to get one.. Now i need to show off to my friends... hey dudes next time when u get to meet me hannn :-) My legs needed some rest. we decided to get back home, my legs needed some rest. It was a good Saturday for me... So waiting for one such again next week. My plans for the eve is to get back to my laptop, prepare for my sessions to happen on Monday.. No escape from that..

Inspired by Someone's Blog

There was a time when i used to scribble (haan i dont remember when) , i dont know how did it fade away from me slowly, with no sign :-( and i have not even thought of turning back to it until today. Thanks to Zakir - a new found Pal. I am just inspired by his blogging not coz of his literature in it.. but the way ZAKSANG has expressed themselves in it. Now i found ma way again to express things and the best thing here - also can torture people and can get to have them read these :-).
So here I come.
