I am sure it was wrong..

Work expands to fill the time available... thats a famous saying.. till now my greatest hobby was to criticise all the great words... but thn of late this one seems to be hitting me hard...
everytime this god'amn thing is becoming true... i have started leaving office by 8.15 instead of 6.30...i even started to have my dinner at office.. but still the pending work was not leaving me...oh shit!! this cant be left alone like this.. i need a solution......so i started a self evaluation.. this i havent done before in my life.. so it was a pretty sad start ,.my inexperience was clearly visible..... i gave weightages... evaluated and analysed... interpreted and summarized.. i came to a confused conclusion.. that either i am a sad workoholic or i am inefficient....i dint want that..so i re evaluated my self.. re assigned weightages... re summarised and reinterpreted.. n still reached the same conclusion... i gave up the evaluation... i still believe it was wrong.... :-)

Let us celeberate...

With more than 3 crore gods comes that much festivals...


India is celeberating any time of the year.... when one city goes to the slumber after a joyous carnival, another awakes in the hope and ecstacy of an upcoming celeberation..This is what differenciates her from the rest of the world... this is what gives her the precious culture....


Some festivals welcome the seasons of the year, the rains, the harvest, the full moon ..the others celeberate religious occasions where the Gods and the temples form the basis. The other forms of festivals are associated with the birthdays and remeberences of national leaders and national days...like Gandhi Jayanthi, November 14, the Independence day etc...The same festivals may also be known in differnent names in the different corners of the country.


When comes to the festivity too, the difference is seen.. Holi is welcomed with colors, lights greet Diwali, flowers bloom for Onam, clay idols for Ganesha Chathurthi...
Wherever they are and how ever they are celeberated, there are some aspects which is common acros the corners of the country, The celeberations centers around the rituals of prayer, seeking blessings of elders, exchanging goodwill, decorating houses, wearing new clothes,music, dance and feasting...No matter what the festival is or where or how it is celeberated these common attributes are never missed...



Today as i woke up , i can see Kerala at its festive best to celeberate Onam. She is decked up to celeberate the most anticipated festival of the state. With flower carpets, new clothes and grant feasts... Kerala is going crazy..The secular character of Onam is peculiar to this land where unity had always coexisted with diversity, especially during festivals, when people come together to celebrate life's unlimited joys.
Also today is the Teej festival in Uttar Pradesh, that marks the story of Krishna and Radha.. Where swings n songs coexist to form a unique form of fesitive sprit..

Tomorrow its another festival in a different place... there will be sleepless nights, songs , prayers and feasts... there will peace,joy and happiness there....

Let us get up from our slumber.... look up and see the celeberations.. no matter if its miles aparts, no matter we cannot see it.... let us buoy the spirt within and light it up inside.....

weekends weekends n weekends....

As my roomie has gone abroad for a short stint..i am all alone in my place...n whn weekends come a feelin of lonliness creeps in usually...
but this time it was different.. suddenly some frnds came home..wow unexpected..whn i reached back late after office on friday...i saw a group in front of my house.. slowly whn i got nearer i started seeing a familiar face, another one followed, then another..n more..i knew at tht moment..tht it is absolute fun tht awaits me ther...

had a great time..by around 1 or 2am, they started leavin, some people had to be dropped back home, some stayed over...friday was fun...
thn came saturday..again as i was crawling thru the day, my phone rung again..there is another devil..."dude wassup..wht plns..." the first question... whn told that my day was filled with sleep n food, he told he is comin to my plce..wow...saturday was a busy day thn....

Sunday, again in the mornin, there rings my phone. ,...this time it was a lunch...met couple of frnds..had lunch with them... one had to say abt her love failure n the other abt her new love..it was irony ...but i enjoyed....
came home by afternoon..n whn i was gettin ready for my usual nap, there rings my phone.... "dude wht plns", the question came in... followed by "i am comin to ur place"..n thts it.. i wait now..knowin tht the rest of my evenin is full of fun n laughter...

now i know i am not alone... now i know hw to spend my weekends.. i wait for the next ...n i wait anxiously.....

The road must be taken..

Went home the other day.. returned yesterday..

It was another journey, same destination, same purpose n the same mindset..

No not this time...the mindset is not same...things arent the same anymore,whole new problems await me there.. Dad hospitalized,roomies travel to abroad, has not found a 3rd room mate yet, , deadlines galore at work, boring n monotonous, friends all left abroad...so prettly lonley days in front.... ..Positive aspects cannot be ruled out though..the whole place just for me...unlimited net n freedom..no dependencies... thats all... when counted the negatives n positives results are slightly inclined to negativity...could be because it was a pessimistic mind's count...or is it really bad day awaitin me... i dont know..but with new hopes and in search of a better life the journey continues..

it could be a treacherous path with twists n turn or a smooth straight and a safe road ahead..the only optionis to take that road..no matter what is in store there or where it leads me.. the road must be taken..hope its peace and prosperity out there...hope i find my happiness there...anyways if not a calm passage, let the landing be smooth atleast....in hopes and in anticipation...i take my first step..
