Advices

These days I am not turning to others for advice ( except for the apartment buying case )... Too many advices received over these years and now well-wishers are wary of me approaching them with a problem.

Just refreshing the learnings I received over the years:

Be selfish: Take oxygen mask first, and then only you can save others. Enjoy more during hard times.

Be at present: This is what you have. Take it and make the best out of it

Stop complaining: You are responsible for your present and future. Stop complaining / threatening. Why disturb others ? ( My blog readers are less, so i hope this post will not be taken as complaining )

Find out what you want to do now and Do.

Thought of penning it down all the wisdom for my future years :)

These days "without advisers and well wishers" I motivate myself my seeing the hard truth in "planet earth" dvds. Life is tough and colurful.

Manusmriti

Found an interesting link on Manusmriti translation

Whether its "varnas" ( based on profession) or "castes" ( by birth) doesnt make difference. This is full of crap and outdated rules.

Hell with casteism.

Dinosour effect

Heard about butterfly effect ? Even a flap of butterfly wings can influence an event in the future like changing the direction of a tornado...

So what about dinosour effects ? Some 'dinosour' blunders keep you haunting always :)

Indian herd mentality

My friend was mentioning about this last week during our frequent office coffee sessions:

Our previous generation was obsessed with kid's future. Did everything to secure a future for their kids. Didnt bother about living a life for their own.

The current generation enjoys life - goes for trekking / trips, spends money, buy luxury car before house, takes care of health , concerned about retirement than kid's..

My friend says whatever indians do , they do it same. And in future all Indians will be concerned about corruptions and will be concerned about society rather than self. Then all Indians will do it together and India will be the best place in earth.. ( I believe the social responsibility factor has already started making waves )

India Zindabad !

Divisions...

The bad part is that we have too many divisions in the society based on relegion, caste, language, nationality, state, sex.

The good part is also the same. Too many divisions make no constant foes or friends.

Being Responsible

Its nice to be responsible for you and also for the society. Its nice to see many examples whom you know directly:

Throwing waste away to tracks while travelling in trains is a norm in India. But my friend and his family never dirties any public place. While on travel they carry a plastic bag in which they collect all used stuff and drop only at station. What difference it makes ? Only one family doing that among a billion people. But I know he doesnt care. They do what they have to do. I have tried to imitate many times this habit last 10 years. But may have done only 3-4 times.

My another friend never pays bribe or "fees" ( as they are called in the case of standard bribes). It doesnt matter his passport verification gets delayed for weeks or months or has to go and meet all senior police officers to get his verification done. He never pays the "fees" and I salute him for that.

Initially when friends started posting political views in facebook I was irritated. Facebook is for poking at girls and peeping at their photos. But the power of facebook was really seen in many of the activities that are happening. Whether its "promoting scientific temper", "supporting farmers" or "fight against corruption" facebook is playing a significant role. Its nice to see people whom you know are involved in these efforts - not only in facebook but beyond that taking part in dicussions, organising meetings, providing help and as last few days even fasting for a good cause.

It inspires you atleast not to pay bribe, be disciplined, drive carefully, obey laws. Atleast a "Like" in the facebook gives a feel good factor. India is certainly in the right direction.

N.B: One thing I dislike is fast until death. whoever is doing, for whatever cause I dont like. That is most abused figting method taken by all whether its for getting reservation, or for separating states or for getting any kinds of benefit. I support "Anna Hazare's fast" because my thoughts align with the cause. But still fasting need not be until death.

random notes

India winning worldcup gives me an empty feeling.. Why watch cricket now ? Wish India doesnt play one day match for another year...

What should be the reaction of a father when his 7 year old is asking a 6 year boy "Will you marry me ? ". Any book recommendation ?

Indian TV is shit. Afridi is correct. Just after winning worldcup, all shits are discussed - when will tendulkar retire ? , Is the trophy hander over was replica , is India going to dominate world cricket ? ( Hmm.. even without having TV connection I am watching all these hits in online sites. NO wonder why they are showing )

Again took "God delusion" .. Not able to read beyond Richard dawkins answering the review comments. All my atheist friends are rational and of high integrity. But all my relegious friends are very nice human beings. So whenever I took "God delusion" I start thinking of them and their beliefs. And as usual I dont have any stand/belief on this... :) I am agnostic on everything.

Language barriers are broken

B'lore is a cool place.. Most people can speak in atleast 3 of the 4 south indian languages and plus Hindi.. And kids learn bits and pieces of every. Lachu's maid has picked up malayalam well. And Lachu now mimicks her maid's malayalam accent !

Last day was listening to "Kanne Kalaimane" tamil song. Lachu came and asked - " Is this Malayalam, Tamil or Kannada" ? She can understand some words and some not.. Having stayed in tvm, chennai and b'lore and now being looked after by telugu maid.. her language now is "south indian" - no more malayalam, tamil, kannada or telugu.

May be now she needs a north indian boyfriend to teach her hindi ;)

The Social Network

Went for seeing Due_date, but couldn't resist the_social_network movie. Its been weeks since i logged into facebook, so thought of atleast seeing the movie. Movie is good. And after the movie did all google and find about all facebook founding stories..

Facebook/Orkut I stopped now. I was trying to get attention from all my well-wisehers by updating the status now and then ( unsuccessfully though ). Now called it quit ( atleast for few more months..). If anybody wants it let them ask me.

And had stopped my diary writing ( blogging.. ) also. But after the movie had to write atleast a few words..

All my friend morons are writing good posts - either Poems .. , travellogues.., good fancy imaginative stories.., shakespeare like literature etc etc.. Poor me, my vocabulary is as good as the "C" language....

I wish there was a "social network" site which could capture my mind and write itself...

What happens if I die now ?

What happens if i die now ? I am not concerned or have fear of my death. I am not concerned about the financial and support issues my dependends may face. The only query I have is - If I cease to exist ?

Will I go to Indralokha where all Menaka , Rambha, Thilathama lives and entertains us ?

Or will i go to Hell where i will be fried for the next million years ?

Or everything will come to end. My thought process will come to an end. From my view, the world will come to an end. Everything will become empty.

And for the world, they can grief the death for some time. The blogs / facebooks can carry my posts for some more time.

Anyway whatever it is - One thing I have decided. I should clean up my posts/scarps in blogs / facebooks / orkuts and twitters so that i have a better image when i die.

blogging from mobile

My first blog from mobile. •

Boys turn men at 40

Boys turn men at 40, somebody said in today's Hindu newspaper. Looking at my immaturity level I dont see that feasible. Only few years remaining.

Trying to get matured.

Those who have it, can flaunt it ;)

B'lore gals dont mind revealing it when they have it. But poor me, I want to save the face of mallus. Mallus having a bad image, and reading all those mallu-behaviour blogs I stopped staring compeltely. My pressure gets released, when these gals get out of the bus. Hmm.. But the morons around me are no decent. They keep 'glancing' or 'staring' all the time. May be they are mallus.

Poor mallus!

Wrangler shirt and Pepe Jeans doesnt help..

It happened today also. This time at MK retail shop. I was buying lunch bag for lachu. One 50 plus guy came and caught the lunch bag in my hand. I was surprised and didnt give. He nodded me, and grabbed it. After looking for sometime in the bag, he asked me "bere ?". Hmm.. i said "sorry, i just came to purchase a bug". He looked at me and went away with the bag i wanted to purchase... I grabbed another one and escaped at the earliest. Looks doesnt matter.

Twittering about "ahmedabad modi/tharoor" team

Why they are calling this ahmedbad team - Kochi/kerala IPL team ? We dont want any bull shit dummy IPL teams...

Jai Royal Challengers ! Jai Kingfisher ! Jai Mallus !!!

Films, Films, and Films

Seeing lots of films these days - Avatar 3D ( 2 times), 3 Idiot, Rann, Ishqiya, MNIK and now Vinnaithedi Varuvaaya. Hmm not a single malayalam film. No wonder why malayalam film industry is in mess, we guys are not seeing our own films!

Gopalan's True Show

Gopalan always wonder why the heck is world like this ? Why his compass always is towards south ? Why are the good ( or great ) things not happening to him. His call to his mind never find answers.

His maktub could have been nice to him.. Why it happens to him only ? What is wrong with him ?

He lost his belief in GOD and everything. He started blaming everything.

But when somebody turns nice to him, he feels guilty. He feels sorry about what he was thinking of them.

And one day - the D-Day happened. He was thinking too much. He didnt want to focus on driving, he crash landed into a VOLVO and he died.

Then the "utimate" thing happened. The world ceased to exist. The world was a figment of Gopalan's imagination. Everything was happening for him only. Everything was "maaya". The whole world existed for Gopalan only. All the characters were created for him only. They were just playing on the script Gopalan's mind was rendering out.

He was very sad. He became depressed. He could have had good dreams. His world would have been nice then.

GOD advised to him - "You Moron, have good dreams atleast here"!!!!!!

Gopalan decides to die..

Gopalan is having too much depressions these days. Poor Guy. Totally frustrated with the world around he decided to die. Being a software engineer he kept a counter of 100 which kept decremented each time he was drowned into depression.. And when the count reaches zero he will commit suicide.

The count started running fast and soon the count reached zero.... Then he added another piece of code which multipled the counter by 10 times of the previous initial value and re-started counters again..... and this went forever...

Hmmm.... Finally he was never able to die.. Endless loop!
