The curse of having a Gigantic Dream

Image
Rage is basically an appropriate outburst of a  consciously  bearing mind.  The agony of Life and the daily difficult series of trials  Whenever my conscious self coils back into my past-formative years till now and witnesses the misgivings; which I didn't articulate at those times; when I used to be in utter fury and against the said, were not because of personal qualm but mostly because of my society's inability to be foresighted enough to look at the big picture and empathetic enough to share my dream.   The dream of an average person survives only in the rarest possible case.  Those with heaps of divine favour can only make it and realize their wish lists.  Lucky are those who succeed because the flip side to this is complete oblivion, or even worse; a complete disgust, most of the time wrapped under the veil of sympathy and remorse, from all the people around that were believed to be near and dear ones!   Such is a society that we live in, or at least,

Premium Gods You have really become a tough-reach! Is it our sins or insecurities.. or something entirely different that I’m not yet aware of at my present level of Emotional Maturity? ... ...These thoughts have started penetrating my soul since day before yesterday when I stood for around 6-7 hours in the queue for Tirumala-Tirupati Lord Balaji' s Darshan.  Before my intent & message in this post becomes contextually incorrect, let me clarify that I was not at all affected by the wait-time. Because, I’m such an astute believer of Transcendental Powers, and I believe God exist. And these temples are really places where you go seeking their blessings. This needs a lot of efforts both physically & emotionally. And I'm really always ready to endure because the endurance is what magnifies the overall transcendental experiences. So, coming back to the wait-time let me first explain the title of my Post first..! I’d like to Define Premium God a

Soul-Curry: a story!

Soul-Curry: a story! Once upon a time there was this Girl who had four Lovers. She loved the 4th Lover the most and adorned him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the very best. She also loved the 3rd Lover very much and was always showing him off to neighboring... kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another. She also loved her 2nd Lover. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times. The girl's 1st Lover was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first Lover. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him! One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four Lovers

Diary of an Introvert

Diary of an Introvert a few common misconceptions about Introverts: Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days. Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite. Myth #3 – Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 –

Clayton Christensen's Acceptance Speech  Clayton Christensen's Acceptance Speech At the beginning of our career; our LIFE, do we have a strategy to be sore and recluse in the long term..? Then why is this that most of us land that way..! Why a stunning number of people execute a strategy that they never want to pursue in the first place. Why do we go through a broken marriage; alienated children, unhappy parents, friends; genuine friends, now totally forgotten, etc.. the list goes on! How many of us have a clear-cut Deliberate Strategy and an Emergent Srtategy and in what sphere of our life (Personal vs Professional)? referred to Henry Mintzberg 's work. Awesome video! Must watch!!

LOVE

li'l antithetic look at LOVE. Love is generic and Pure only when SEX is not involved! any affair involving opposite gender with such mortal afflictions is kinda always very complicated. when u love someone so very deep, more than everything; u so very want to weep. Tears are one that come out, but it's ur heart that always goes out.  Love is so very like the river, always a free flow; tearing, fighting but alwyas giving. ... even the sunshine drags the drops out but thr is never a fight on pegging so many trouts. Love hurts, love give u pains, if u want sanity never ever fall for any so called gains. Do u say soulmate exists, ask urself and answers always acquiesce if you want to be accepted as trendy n cool,  don't fall for love or be an emotional fool! -ManTak

Is the relationship really worth it?

Read/ saw some important lessons on relationship and intimacy.. a presentation by Elizabeth Gilbert , author of Eat, Pray, Love.  Really worth a deep contemplation! The hedgehog's dilemma, or sometimes the porcupine dilemma, is an analogy about the challenges of human intimacy. It describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one another in order to share their heat during cold weather. However, once accomplished, they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp quills. They must step away from one another. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship, this may not occur for reasons which they cannot avoid. Both Schopenhauer and Freud have used this situation to describe what they feel is the state an individual will find themselves in relation to others. The hedgehog's dilemma suggests that despite goodwill, human intimacy cannot occur without substantial mutual harm, and what results is cautious behavior and

How Will You Measure Your Life?

How Will You Measure Your Life? A wonderful work I found on HBR... and the forum that it created.. I'm still in the awe of these wonderful people around! Thank you  Clayton  for reminding us in such a brilliant and clear way that life is multidimensional; and for bringing sense to it. It is easier to hold on to your principles a 100 percent of the time; but whether or not THAT is the right/better thing to do - must be subject to the scrutiny of your very principle.  After all, its our moral frigidity that creates conflict, prevents co-existence and tolerance and brews superiority and judgement. The choice and successful pursuit of a profession is but one tool for achieving your purpose. But without a purpose, life can become hollow. Ironically, a man realizes the true meaning of his life only after the stark realization of its transcience. If more people follow the path of their heart rather than the crowd mentality of commercial success, the world would be different. Of

Highway of Emotional Involvements

I had this lesson learnt very early in my lyf to put-in the highest possible efforts to things that is aimed for! Today, I’ve realized that there exists a flip side to this theory. I have always believed in giving-out my best; in totality, to THINGS that I want in my lyf. THINGS never retorted to say if they ever wanted me.. thus being such a focused and comfortable ride, agony was pleasure too, because it was self induced!!   J   J   J But how have things changed when the same approach I tried using for the emotional involvements with PEOPLE. Even at the deepest level of emotional involvements, a valid and equally important consideration remains; that of the reaction received, ..and that severely affects the interpersonal affairs. May be that’s why chemistry comes in picture. There has to be a reaction.. and it decides the outcome!! It has to be rightly sighted and righteously accepted.. I am grateful to have experienced this and can proudly say, now, that there is

who said humanity

Read a quote shared by my dear sir, Brigadier Naidu “It is a little embarrassing that, after 45 years of research and study, the best advice I can give to people is to be a little kinder to each other” - Aldous Huxley I am just curious if any one ever asked Mr. Huxley on how being kind and accepting can lead to a state of infliction! These kind of people are considered rare or rather extinct species and it is a general knowledge that whoever enacts such is a dumb and fool or may be far more dangerous. The mad Race that we are all in.. thr always remains a danger of meeting with accidents due to slightest of deviations.. The world has becm like dis whr distrust takes over any other form of humanitarian traits.  We are told from the childhood how important it's to mark oneself always ahead of the crowd. ...but When you are always ahead, you are also alone. How can kindness be shared in such a situation? I'm not sure if the cynic in me is taking over...! But I'm sure dis

tujhase naaraaz nahi zindagi. what a song!

Muhabbat ki ek aur Daastaan!

Soul Curry-timeslife. TOIM/2010/04/18 And they lived happily... NOW their story can be told... Gautam has returned home, cheerful and happily married. He has lost some hair though, and put on a few kilos. But that cannot be helped, after six months of sustained radiation and chemotherapy sessions. We were always worried about Gautam, not so much for his health as for his being perennially “accidentprone”. That was the expression my wife had reserved for him for the way he used to fall in and out of love. Women, no doubt, found him handsome and flipped for him at first sight. But having known him for over 20 years, I knew that for all his charming ways and dashing looks, he was actually an old-fashioned bloke and painfully self-righteous — a trait many of his girlfriends found rather off-putting. So when Sandhya walked out of an Internet portal and into his life, we were pleasantly surprised. They had a small engagement ceremony in Delhi. The marriage would be fixed once Sandhya g

Whenever in Pain, I get a lot to gain.

Had an evening that left me anxious n clouded enough.  One that compelled me to contemplate again with rather disheartened sense of being .  Seldom it happens, when lyf is driven by you and you control the events.  How naive I was when I used to think of it in affirmation. Still, I'm among the best of optimists. I will be like that... my very own choice . - you get it right.  Whenever it's inexplicable and complex like this..  it's matter related to  da heart; dat simply n in a jiffy  brings your head and the whole being to such a hap less m ess!
