What A Start Of A Day...

The starting of a day can not get any better! My daily average of goof-ups will be around 2-3, but today I managed many within few hours!

I used to carry an umbrella in my bag. Remembered the last few days very sunny, I left it at home. Just as I left the room, it started to rain! I ran back and ring the doorbell. It was very late when I realised it was a wrong door! The guy who opened the door was brushing and was having alook who came so early for sales!

I got an empty bus, and when I was paying for the ticket the conductor told me it was a wrong bus! No wonder it was empty. Hurried I got down and get into another one. Luckily that also had a few empty seats. I jumped into an empty window seat only to find it soaked in the rain! By the time I shifted to another seat my butt got wet enough to give that embarrassing look...

I am wondering what is there in stores for the rest of the day...

Live Each Day Like It's The Last - No Way!

I often heard this; we should live each day like it's the last. We should live like there is no tomorrow and make the most of each day. Should we ???  
 
I guess that is a bit scary thought. I got plans for tomorrow as much I got for today. And a part of today I spend to shape my tomorrow. But in this process I am not missing my life today. I am living it. I find it fulfilling with the continuation I plan for the next day. My life is not so small to live in a day! I got so many things to do. Got so many people to meet. Got so much Love to enjoy. Got so much joy to share. Music. Dance. In a day - no chance, it is not enough.  
 
The last day - it could be good for this - instead of a Maruti I might buy a BMW, because I don't need to worry about the next EMI ! But my life is too short to live in a day and I don't want to squeeze it either...

If everything has to be done in a single day - if we are forced to, what will we do.... Try to live the life to the fullest, or keeping an eye on the clock to check how much time is remaining... Live it to fullest with the loved ones or worrying that the moments with them is going to end soon... 

Nope I can not think this is my last day. Because I got plan for tomorrow, next week, next vacation... God, please give me more time, I haven't had enough of life....

Being Parents !

We owe parents. For the biological, emotional, ethical reasons. For the Love, values, education, support, guidance, vision they gave. Without them we will and can not be the us we are today.

When a kid is growing up, parents shape his world. Choose the right thing, making the right decision for him. Helping and supporting him to grow big, strong and more importantly right. But is it should be forever...

Why parents pretend like they know everything, they know the best for the kids and themselves ? Why do they not stop believing they know the best all the time... They can not be.

They always want to keep the kids healthy and are anxious about them , even when they turn 50! Meanwhile why they forget that they are human too and they can fall sick too ??? If the grown up kids suggests them to go for the regular checkups, or remind them to have their medicines on time, why they hesitate... Growing with the kids doesn't mean parents are as strong and healthy as they used to be when the kids born. Faster than the kids, they grow old. They should stop pretend that they are strong and immune to everything.

My friend needed to go to native early morning. Reason : his father ignoring all the warning signs and repeated requests of him and his sister's. Thank God, it was not any serious situation and he got discharged within 24 hours. But that was avoidable. Only if he, leaving his ego, went for the regular checkups and had his medicines properly.

Parents, we Love you. We are caring as much you did to us. We are worried about your health too. What we suggesting are not to label you sick or weak. You will never know the peace of mind, a 'Fit Like Rock' report card from doctor gives us, especially when we are working away from home.

We need you. Completely. 

Take care...

Another Move !

I changed room, again. This is the 6th place in the last 5 years in Bangalore. Not bad ;)

The house owner wanted around 30% increase in the rent, saying I got it very cheap! That was not a fair deal, so I quit. But this was the most peaceful exit I ever had. He returned me all the money without hesitation and we ended up saying bye shaking hands! One owner really screwed our happiness, took almost two months to return the advance and that too in three instalments. So this came as a surprise, as I didn't give him any notice either.

Will I go back to him.. No way. Now it is time to move on, nothing like I don't like that place ;)

Why So Serious...

Yesterday, the guy at the mess was very serious. He was lost in thought that he didn't see me coming. And when I wished him, his head turned. Though his eyes saw me, it failed to recognise me. I asked him why so serious, all he said was, we should get serious sometime.

True. Very true. We need to be serious. But do we need to remain so.. I doubt. We should never be in the serious mood for long. Especially if we end up thinking about the same stuff again and again in a circle, and not able to get out of it. We should stop thinking, should stop being serious. Only if our thoughts are flying, like one leading to the other and to the next, it is justified.

What if the situation is such that it demands us to be serious for long... Get help. When your thinking ends up in a circle, take the help of somebody. May be he/she can break the circle and get the thoughts lead in a new direction. After all, the point of being serious is to get over a difficult situation. If one is fall short of solving it, make it two.

So what you decide now.. How long you want to be serious ;)

The Magic That Is Endhiran

I liked everything about the movie Endhiran ( The Robot in Hindi ). After watching it I became a bigger fan of Shankar and Rajnikant. Man, those guys are awesome ! When the much-hyped movies like Raavanan, Kites failed to make an impression, Endhiran came with bigger hype and it turned out to satisfied everybody. That was an understatement, everybody was thrilled about that movie!

It was the first time I saw such a response at the theater in Bangalore. Though it was a Tamil movie, and was released a week before, the shows were houseful. Though they got vast parking for bikes, this time I needed to park all the way back. I didn't have my usual coffee before movie, because the huge crowd around the coffee shop didn't let me reach the counter. I didn't make it to the loo in the interval, which will say it all! All around were Rajni's posters and banners. Interestingly, there were pictures of Kannada movie association guys wishing good luck for the movie. That was interesting…

I hope both Rajnikant and Aiswarya will not stop acting. Rajni was as dynamic as he always been and after watching Raavanan and Endhiran I guess Aiswarya came now. She is at the highest of her acting. Please do not leave screen. May be after the baby, you can come back like Kajol did ;)

There was some let down. I watched it in a multiplex. Wish it was a single screen theatre with some real fans… It would have been more of a treat then.. Though the 'civilised' crowd at the multiplex too at times gave into the temptation of whistling and howling.

Go watch the movie in theater itself. It is worth. I got much more to tell about the movie and the music. Check those links… ;)

I Love This City !

Yesterday on my way back from work, I met a girl in  Scooty. We were waiting for signal. Then I heard a humming, rather loud. She was singing without giving a damn about the world around  her. And the world around her - gives no attention to her either.

I like this about this city. You can be yourself. You can sing, shout, dance, laugh, cry, kiss anything on the streets and others are not going to stop you. They will not give you 'what are you doing' look or will not comment on you either. They pretend like you don't exist !

I like it that way. You may call it the city culture, which is so selfish that it is not bothered. Is it ?? Not at all. When you are in need, like you fell from bike, there will be people to help you. If you are lost, there will be people to guide you home. But they value your privacy, your life - your way.

Often I end up thinking why should others be so interested about my life. What I am wearing. Why I smile on the streets. If I do, I got the reason, why are you expecting an explanation ??? I will do what I feel like, and I am not bothered about how you are going to take it. Please let me be myself.

I am part of the crowd. Still, I am me. Leave me my own. Please...
