Well... The picture above must have come into everyone's mind/heart at one point of time or the other. It says that u r having trouble in making a choice...it shows that u r in a dilemma! It makes u realize that choosing something which was easier before...no more looked simple and easy...instead looked tricky,complicated,scary,unsure[...add on every other adjective...DAMN!]. MAKING A CHOICE BECOMES COMPLICATED IF ONE HAS TOOO LITTLE TO CHOOSE OR TOO MUCH TO CHOOSE! QUITE TRUE...A'INT IT??
hmmmmm... every other person.. must have been in these shoes... fortunately for some people; being in these shoes doesnt last long... and for the other few... this becomes a habit/a routine! now the next question that pops up is:" are they always having trouble to choose cos they 'do not know' what they want [or] is it because they 'do not make the right choice'.."
I contemplated on this for quite long too... With my little brain and so called sensibility I possess, I have come to a conclusion that [ oh .. however ... everything is subjected to change :P] :
"Every choice u make,u r building a whole new algorithm for urself!"
and for the algorithm to work, u need to build the next steps..
Trust me ppl...there is no such thing as 'right' or 'wrong'...
Any choice u make.. just give it ur best shot.. and it should work in ur favour!!
The secret for every task to work is to give ur best shot...and nuthing less than the best!
After all , U r the architect of ur own future!
I also wanna include my all time favourite line:
"Everyhting will be fine at the end....iff it is NOT fine...it is NOT THE END!"
Hopefully...from now on ...making a choice is no more difficult!
what can u see in the above pic?
A plain white sheet ........ a white canvas ......
Yes... that's what each one of us are... in the beginning of our lives.. the stage where we know nothing...
we know neither :
right or wrong / virtue or vice / good or bad / joy or sorrow
A Plain / clean / simple mind, heart,body and soul.....!!
From there begins the real journey.... the journey, which goes on for eternity... the journey to the materialistic world .. the journey from joy to sorrow and back to joy again... the journey from day to night endlessly... all the way... and all over again.....
The journey where we see... seemingly [im]possible stuff .. the extremely good and extremely bad stuff.. The cycle moves on infinitely and one day.......it stops!!
unfortunately or fortunately none of us ever know when the journey "actually" starts and "actually" stops....
most of us are caught in this seemingly endless mire...
and the only way to survive is to go through alllll of this!!
In Charles Darwin's words : ' SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST '
Yes... the strong ones survive... and the not-so-strong ones.. struggle!!
This IS the way of life...!!
But is this fair?? ..... I still wonder .... No amount of contemplation and retrospection has given me an answer ...except this one statement...
"The supreme being has his own way of teaching how to live life to every being he creates..." and its in his will ...i fully trust!
Here I take leave, continuing my journey to make my canvas into a painting which makes sense......
well...the title says it all...
For all those who were concerned,I was very much live and kicking !!
the last post shows October ... more than two months now...
well there can be two reasons for not blogging:
1) not much happening
2) too many things happening
In my case ...... its a bit of both...!! crazy rt??!!
I'm now @ the road which shows me two paths and i had to choose my path effectively and efficiently!
tht took all my time from the past few days!!
im glad ... i took some time out for my darling blog.. and here im... back to blogging..
How many times did u ask this question ...to the wrong person!!!???
My count is endless!! lol!
This happens mostly in the malls or supermarket!
ruddy hell....i alwaysss end up asking the wrong person...
Once it so happened...tht my family and my neighbours were shopping in a mall...and my neighbours kid...had to go to the loo urgently... gaaawd... i was chosen to show her where the loo was.. !! that really was'nt a problem...but finding out where the loo was...err...a bit ...ehm ehm!
so... mission started..."where is the washroom?"
so first i looked here and there... and the kid...: "akka pls...fast"
omg!! another tension...i hope she doesnt finish off her work bfore reaching the washroom!
So ... there was a guy who was just standing there...
Me:" excuse me...washroom??"
he gives me a strange look... he said ..."i donno!" and turned away very rude!
Later did i undertsand that it was d wrong guy.... rather the wrong Question...lol!!
mayb he wldnt mind if i askd him..."Hi...I'm...reeta/meeta/sita and u r ...??"
anyways...my mission to direct that kid to the right place was accomplished successfully! phew!! :P :P
recently... mom & I went to a super market... mom asked to get a few items...and she went to the ATM ..
so...i went in there.. and i frgot the dal she askd me to get.. but i remember how it looked like... so i thought i would search for myself...[bcos i dint wanna humiliate anymore ppl...either by asking the wrong ppl or the wrong Questions...lol!]
so my search began...after few seconds ...i found it...yippeee!! ....oh no... but i wanted a half kg packet.... in that instant i turned...and asked the guy next to me...: " ee pappu 1/2 kg undha babu" [in english : hey do u have half kg of this item... ]
he lookd @ me...and turned away... well i thgt he was partially deaf...
i askd him again...: " hullo...and repeated my Q"
then a girl from my left came and gave me a 1/2 kg packet....thn i realised that...he was a guy like me searching for a packet himself!!
gawwd...i fled from there!
Luckily never met the same people again ......!
I told myself.."Next time.... be careful lady.....otherwise someone might end up asking 'u' d same Question[s].." ; -) ;-)
Recently.....i had been to a common friends place.. where arnd 5 ppl all in their early 20's were present ... slowly we started talking...and i noticed smthng...and tht is... we were just talking BUT not conversing ... infact @ one point i noticed tht each of them in that group wanted to be heard by others...
every1 wants to talk...godd... for a moment...i wanted to get up and walk away... but my ethics just holded me back!
Luckily when the so calld conversation[s] were over... i silently realised smthng...i realised the importance of 'actually' " listening".......! Listening infact is a perfect sign of a gud communication!
I realised how lucky i was ..... my friends always payed an attentive ear...[even when i spoke crap.. ;-) ]
Well...this is slighlty an emotional post from me ...
But ya... I would like to dedicate this particular post of mine to all my friends, for the loads of patience they have!
thank u all buddies! love u!
Probably u listened to me so much ...tht u guys know so much abt me...!
Or should i say... u guys r lucky tht u have a friend like me! ...[light hearted one there!! ]
Thanks again yaar! I feel too gud today...
In Helen Keller's words : " The best things in this world...cannot be seen or heard...they must ONLY BE FELT! "
"OH.... Those girls .... they are very well behaved & obedient..." ...This is what most people think of us.. well...QUITE true but partially false! muhahahaha!!
A small example of how much funn ..."mischief" can be!!!
Case 1:
I was returning home in a crowded bus,and the bus stop was arnd 10min away from home. I requested the driver.."hullo bhaiyya...aap zara bus side pe rokiyey pls...ghar jaldi jaana hain."
Tht fella gave a hugee smile... i deciphered it thinkng he wld stop wherever i askd him to.
But tht very intelligent man stopped xactly near the busstop
and says :"dhigu amma"[get down girl]
"aaaargh"[bloddy as if i dnt knw...!]
I smiled back too...
NOW this means i hafta walk back home for 10min...gaaaawwwwwwd!
As they say GOD always shows us other means of opportunities , i TURNED TO the minitaxi [also calld 7seaters]. After i got into it...i realised i had no money...mannnn!! wat do i do!!
then....right on time....my best friend 'Mischief ' struck ...like a bulb glowing on my head...
xactly few feet away from where i had to get down i askd him : "ESI or bowenpally..."
he said:" ESI madam."
[who botHers...if its ESI or bowenpally...this is where i had to get down...]
I immidiately, with a worried look on my face... "oh...Bowenpally kaadhaa?pls stop"
I got down and walkd back home cooly!
ufff.... u shld have seen the guys face [ almost read...y dnt these girls ask where does the auto go bfore gettin in to it]
LOL...who cares...!! i went home easily without spending a penny! :P :P
hmmm...u can call it "Time sense" n "presence of mind" too!
btw...i still follow this technique!:P It works!!!!!......most of the times!!
CASE 2:
My sis n i were returning from the movie POKIRI.. i was driving my bike and she was seated behind me.
As we came out of the theatre, a strong pungent smell hit our noses!
Ruddy hell...looks like those men forgot the loo was inside the theatre!
yuccccck!
my sis almost had a breathing problem!!
cha......no wonder y INDIA is soooo hygenic!
We were almost nearing my home...when we found another man proudly doing the same job!
again the mischief bulb struck us...
We drove slowly until we were few feet away from him....and we blew the horn so louddd.... that he almosst stopped doing wat he wanted to do....
Trust me ... my goddd.... we laughd the whole nite!!!... he may never do it again on public places!
now...i wrote just the few[first degree] pranks .... we played many more and shall continue to play also!! :D:D
The fun u derive out of this is immense...but just, just a friendly warning and the policy I follow is: " have fun...BUT not @ the cost of others!"
My friends n few acquaintainces who read this blog may say :" oh...these r very small ones... she dint write the 'actual ones'...."
hmm... well...all i can say is :"THIS is JUST the BEGINNING!" ;)
Well...these days ... my pals have given me a new name :"BUSSY GIRL"....
hmm.... busy .... and meee....???!!!!
arrrrrghhh.... TRUSSST ME...'busy' and 'I' are totally antonyms!!!!
infacttt ...the word 'busy' will lose its meaning ...if its compared with me...
'A busy person' is one who is ' too occupied' with some 'constructive work'
Pls take note of the words in inverted commas..
well.... lemme cut the crap...My intention of writing this article is:
One lazy afternoon i was 'busy'[as my frds say] looking into my collection of old papers cut in different shapes and few articles wich i preserved...
I came across the word "LUCK" in bold letters...so i opened it. This is what it reads:
ARE YOU LUCKY OR UNLUCKY?Researches scientists hae found that the answer is upto
us.That's because good fortune is an attitude.Here are five ways to create and attract good luck.
Draw luck to you by getting out and creating a wide circle of friends;the more people u know,the more opportunities will come your way.
Keep alert to opportunities that will move u towards ur dreams and goals.Then act on them.
Invite luck in by listening to ur INNER VOICE.Open the communication channels through relaxation and meditation.
Dont invite misfortune.We get what we foresee,so know that things will work out in your favour in the end.Make sure u feel confident about ur future and expect and look for good fortune all around you.Play down the negatives and focus on positives.
If smthng goes wrng ,dnt let urself bemoan and dwell on bad luck. Instead acknowledge and be glad about the things that u have done as you'd hoped and figure out how to overcome the unanticipated setbacks.
If u sit back and wait for it,luck will probaly never find you.GO OUT AND GRAB FOR IT!!
Since I regularly write in my personal journal...I often cant update this blog of mine...but ya... few lines from my journal are definitely in atleast one post of my blog ...
Recently When i was reading a paper... i saw a funny headline.It reads:
"I'M A PRIVATE PERSON..... "
I was just wondering ...if this person is really a private guy/gal....y on earth would a big headline come up in page 3!!
few things r so diplomatically funny ..YET.. politically correct!
I happened to watch a telugu movie called 'bommarillu' ... well.. no reviews as such... but just a gist here as to why i liked d movie..
the nicest things in d movie are:
- definitely Genelia....she proved again that she is another synonym for "cute"
-Siddharth... a guy who respects his dad[but dislikes him.. not bcos he doesnt give him anything he wants...BUT....his dad gives him too much of everything]
-the dialgoue " veeluntey naalugu matallu...kudhuruthey cup coffee" :)
- music,comedy
-the crux and d most important part of d movie...the conversation between siddhu and his dad
and finallllyyyyyy...
-the way the story gives a simple yet important msg...
So just wanted to say...that this is definitely one of the nicest movies i have watched so far... and does justice to every rupee u invest to watch it!
As I was casually looking into old notepad files....I happened to come across this..
This seems to be a short write-up from a MIT( US ) guy.
I simply loved the way this person wrote... so i included it in myblog..
Hope we realise the importance of this article...
here it goes:
10 years after postgraduating from MIT this is probably what happens
Finally, the most lasting memory of my trip was this:
In the bungalow across the house of my NZ friend lived a taxi driver. He was about 60 and lived alone. His children were grown and out of the house; his wife, either dead or divorced. At the end of the day, he would park his taxi on the road, even though he had a garage. His was the only vehicle ever parked on that road. I wondered why he did not park his taxi in his garage.
Then I learnt that he had another car in his garage, his 'other' car. It was the car he would drive when he wanted to go alone. He would come home from work, leave his taxi and would go out on his personal errands in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt that was very profligate of an old taxi driver.
I was curious to see his 'personal' car but for two weeks, it kept eluding me. Then one evening, I happened to be outside when his taxi was parked on the road, the garage door was open and he drove out in his 'own' car: A gorgeous burgundy Rolls-Royce. It shook me to the core when I realised what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But deep inside, he saw himself as something else: A Rolls-Royce owner. When he drove others, he drove them in his taxi. When he drove himself, he drove in his Rolls. The world looked at his taxi and called him a taxi driver. But he did not call himself a taxi driver. Taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls was something he drove for a life.
And we are all like that taxi driver. We drive some 'taxi' for a living, a semiconductor engineer, an investment banker, a CFO, a software businessman, a venture capitalist, or a university professor. Some of our taxis are big and glamorous. Some are simple and functional. But they are still just taxis. Now, there is nothing wrong in making an honest day's money, whatever taxi we drive. The problem begins when we start believing that we are what the world thinks we are: a taxi driver, a corporate banker, a software programmer, whatever. Think of it. None of us ever goes to bed as an engineer, we go to bed as husbands. We wake up as fathers and sons, not as MBAs. We party as friends, we vacation as wanderlusts, we love life as demigods in chrysalis. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and fulfillment on how high we climb in the corporate ladder, how much bigger and better a taxi we drive. And we ignore our Rolls Royce, keep it stale and dusty in our garage. If we ever decide to take it for a ride, the world reminds us that we would be 'wasting' our talent as IIT engineers and we would wasting x lakhs of rupees that Indian taxpayers have spent on
educating us.
I learnt from that taxi driver that I was not an engineer or a medical software guy. I just drove a taxi called Medical Softwares. My Rolls was something different: to be a free man, travel the world, read good books, exercise outdoors, stay healthy, and enjoy life. As it dawned on me, I started feeling a lot of peace with the choices I had made in my career in
the last 10 years, favouring my Rolls vis-a-vis my taxi. And it was a peace much deeper, much calmer .........
This puts it all into words perfectly. They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis". It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones.
What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.
You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.
You are beginning to understand yourself, what you want and do not want.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not.
You are insecure and then secure.
You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.
You feel alone and scared and confused.
Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you.
You love someone very much and cannot express it because of the fear of rejection. They get married to someone else and at that time, you don't understand why you couldn't express it because you are not a bad person to live with.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that almost everyone relates to it. Everyone have their best of times and their worst of times, trying as hard as they can to figure this whole thing out.
It's just to let you know that you are not alone in the state of confusion.
In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"
"Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a
little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."
"Triple filter?"
"That's right." Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the
triple filter test.
The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell
me is true?"
"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and....................."
"All right." said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's
try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about
my friend something good?"
"No...... on the contrary............... ."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're
not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter
left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to
be useful to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good
nor even useful, why tell it to me at all".
This seriously makes me think...i think each one of us shld actually think bfore
we talk...theres smthng calld 'quality time' and 'quality talk'
we need'nt actuallly spend hours talking... but the few minutes we talk shld be useful/helpful/informative to others...
y not put in to practise frm now on....
They say 'a person who does many gud things to d society and is not always remembered for it...but one mistake from the very same person....volumes is spoken and it spread like wild fire'
why?
why is it that ... few ppl choose to talk abt the bad stuff rather thn d gud ones.....y do few ppl choose to remember/recollect repeatedly the ones which r not so pleasent..
i wonder if anyone cld answer it......hmmmmmmm.....
now this takes me to another Q : " how good is considered to be good...and how bad is really considered to be bad"...shall pen down more on this in the next blog!
Nice guys get nice girls !!

- A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
- It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is from the top.
- What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.

THE LESSONS MY LIFE TAUGHT ME..
LIFE- Living in Freedom an Enquiry.....Thats how I define my life!!!
The word LIFE may mean many things to many people,for me it is a gift by the almighty.It's a gift given to utilise it in all means and to the best possible.Every second,minute and day is special and unique.Life means experincing every moment which can be happy/sad/exciting/confusing and many more.Life is mainly filled with experiences, and every experience teaches something.How we face our life and the experiences and what is the lesson we learn from it,is what makes a "difference" to our
lives!
Life has many stages:childhood,adolscence,old age and finally till our last breath.At every stage of life we are bound to commit mistakes and learn few lessons.For eg: when a child is young,he/she is taught to respect elders.During adoscence,children are adviced to stay away from things which may lead them to a wrong path and so on.Every stage we keep learning.Learning is one such stage in life which has NO END.I learnt many lessons in life,which helped me towards a better living.
The two most important things which keep life moving are: 'FAITH' and 'HOPE'!! The other factors which add to them are CONFIDENCE,DEDICATION AND RESPECT for yourself and others.Time and again,these factors have proven to be the basis for my success in many events in my life.There were many incidents in life,which were unpleasent and unexpected,but the lessons which i chose to learn from them made me a stronger person.
Finally to conclude,all I can say is: As common mortals we cannot avoid committing mistakes BUT we can definetely tell ourselves not to repeat the same mistake.Learning not only from our mistakes but also from others makes a person reach the ladder of success sooner and faster and there by a WISE individual!

Well... The picture above must have come into everyone's mind/heart at one point of time or the other. It says that u r having trouble in making a choice...it shows that u r in a dilemma! It makes u realize that choosing something which was easier before...no more looked simple and easy...instead looked tricky,complicated,scary,unsure[...add on every other adjective...DAMN!]. MAKING A CHOICE BECOMES COMPLICATED IF ONE HAS TOOO LITTLE TO CHOOSE OR TOO MUCH TO CHOOSE! QUITE TRUE...A'INT IT??
