ಅನಿಸುತಿದೆ ಯಾಕೋ ಇಂದು

ಅನಿಸುತಿದೆ ಯಾಕೋ ಇಂದು ನೀನೇನೆ ನನ್ನವಳೆಂದು

ಮಾಯದಾ ಲೋಕದಿಂದ ನನಗಾಗಿ ಬಂದವಳೆಂದು 

ಆಹಾ! ಎಂತ ಮದುರಾ ಯಾತನೆ 

ಕೊಲ್ಲು ಹುಡುಗಿಯೊಮ್ಮೆ ನನ್ನ ಹಾಗೆ ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ 

ಮುಂಗಾರು ಮಳೆಯ ಹಾಡನ್ನು ಕೇಳದವರೇ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಜಯಂತ್ ಕಾಯ್ಕಿಣಿಯ ಬರಹ ತುಂಬಾ ಮದುರವಾಗಿ ಹಾಡಲ್ಲಿ ಬಂದಿದೆ. ಭಗ್ನ ಪ್ರೇಮಿಯ ಇ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ಮತ್ತು ನೋವನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸಿದವರೇ ಬಲ್ಲರು. ಆಹಾ! ಎಂತ ಮದುರ ಯಾತನೆ. 

Feeling sleepy

Its 2 pm in the afternoon and I am feeling sloppy. Don't know why.Usually I don't feel this way. May be its because of the rush in the last week. I am sitting at client place in Pune and needs to prepare for the status meetings. Yes, to tell them what we did in the last week. These review meetings some time are so funny, you should attend some of them. I remember some funny incidents happened in the past with some of my clients. This was one of the biggest mobile company in India. The VP used to sit on Every Friday for Review after lunch. You could very well tell that he is feeling sleepy by looking at his face. This used to resemble the "Sabji Mandy" in my home town. Except for the Noise every thing else used to be same.

Ok, Now I should get back to work. see you guys!!

Knowledge

To know is knowledge. To know about what? To know about man, material, etc. But how do we gain knowledge?

Man starts learning since his birth. Scientists have even proved that a baby learns from the days of its mother's womb. To support that statement, we have a mythological story where Abhimanyu learnt his first half lesson about the art of war when he was in her mother's womb Subhadra. It was lord krishna who was telling the story.
Man is a bundle of flesh when he is born. None of our five senses will be working properly. A new born baby's eye sight will be blurr initially. It can notice only dark colors. So is the case with other four senses. The sense of taste starts working the moment baby starts drinking the Milk. Initially baby will not even understand that it is suppose to drink the Milk when it is feeling hungry. Because both Milk and feeling of hungriness is very nave to it. It is here where we first start to accumulate the knowledge. As the baby passes the age, all its senses starts working better and better so is the cognition of knowledge and at the age of 7 they will have their first cut of impression about this world.
Now let us for a moment try to understand how do we learn. Man typically learns through his experiences. When we see an object, the light which falls on the object and reflects, falls on our eyes, and it reaches our brain nerves. It is here where we actually see the object. And if you see it for many times there happens a Synaptic connection which helps you to remember that object. The Eye, which is a sense organ was believed to be the place where man sees the object which was later disproved by other scientists. In the similar fashion we listen, taste, smell and hear. Our mind stores the information as images. That is why it is quick to learn for the children if you show them an object associating the word. That is why they show the image of an Apple in the book. Thus we keep accumulating the knowledge day by day.

Its all in the mind

When I was in 10th standard, I had a black color pant, which was my favorite. I used to wear it many times. I met with 3 accidents while I was wearing that. Then I decided in my mind that Black is not good for me. How stupid isn't it. I know many of the people have made up similar decision at one or the other time. But we hardly realize that its all in our mind. How can some thing be good for some body and bad for others. Color Black itself is neither good nor bad. Its just a color nothing more nothing less. Then what made me to feel that it is bad. It is those accidents which made me to feel that. My association to black color since those accidents made me to feel that.

Lets take another example for a moment. In our past we get annoyed with people. We keep saying "that guy irritates me a lot", "My BP raises the moment I see him" etc. Have you any time thought what made you to think like that. The man whom we are angry one is not good or bad. Its the story which we build up in our mind about him. In once of my friends circle there is a girl about which my close friend always had a bad opinion. But I never felt so. Now what should I conclude, She is Good or Bad? She is neither. She is what she is.

My mentor used to tell me, when you are walking on the road, you will find a Rs100 not fallen down. You will pick it up and see if it is really a Rs100 note. If yes then you will put it in your pocket else if it is not then you will throw it and move on. whole thing would take-up maximum 15-20 sec. In the same way if some body body criticizes you then take it, analyze it, if its worth to implement then take it else through it in the air and move on. All this should take you 15-20 sec. He said its all in the mind.

I have been working on his suggestion more than an year now. Its really worth it.

In search of name and fame

I found this video when i was casually browsing YouTube. The Singer in the video has touched abut one of the most driving force in the human life. "To be Famous" It's rare to find people who will say I don't want to be famous. I am not an exception to it. People find different means to become famous. With the out burst of TV channels it has become all the more easy to become famous over night. Recent shoot out at the USA and other parts of the world should be a live example for it.

I remember an incident during my collage days. We all friends had been to a personality development program during our vacations. The trainer asked each one of us to go on stage and speak some thing. One of my friend went up and said "I want to be controversial" Every body started laughing. I hardly realized what was he saying at that time. But now I know what he meant.

I think It's a great feeling to be famous. I can only think because i am not famous. When you walk on the road people will recognize you. When you are busy at shopping others are looking at you. You get a good treatment because you are famous. I think there are many more advantages of being famous.

But there is flip side to it as well. A very close friend of mine is a TV celebrity. She keeps telling me that she misses her private life. On the road people watch you, your move, with whom you are. Its most likely that you will get in to lots of rumors.

What ever it may be, I just want to be famous once.

Its all about Thinking big

"Magic of Thinking Big" the book which changed my life. Just want to share with you some of my interesting incidents in my life. It was in year 1999-2000 when i realized I am in deep shit. Some time you will never know where are you heading. This was happening to me since 1996. I wanted to be an Electronics engineer but ended up doing Tool and Die making. Reason, I couldn't score well in my PUC. When I decided to join NTTF I was on the cloud nine because every one told me that I will be foreign country earning lots of money, the moment I finish. Things were not as I thought of. I remember during my days at NTTF one of junior asked me if I would get in to software in the future. My answer was "NO".

During 2000 I realized my life is not going in the direction which i want. Becoming desperate i joined Amway to earn lots of money. Ended up in a dept of Rs25K to my sister whom I kept lying why I need money. By the way Amway is not bad. The problem was in me.

I finished my Industrial training in August 2000. I had to take shelter at my sis place since I didn't have a job to support my self. I started my job hunting without wasting much time thinking that I will get some a good one. Three months of effort went in vain. I decided to go to Pune thinking there would be more opportunities there for a Mech guy. It was that conversation with my friend Nitin which made me to think about me. He asked me "where will you go if you don't find a job in Pune? will you go to the next city?" Often we feel grass on the other side is green. Then one day while I was walking on MG road. I saw the books on road side. I saw the book "Magic of Thinking Big". In Amway they recommend this book to read. I just picked it up paying Rs 60. I read it every day until I finished the book. It opened a new life for me. A new me was born who was quite serious about his life. Some body who stopped about day dreaming and started chasing the real dream of his life.

Today I am running a software start up in Bangalore. When I decided to move to IT most of the people said its not my cup of tea. But thanks to "Magic of Thinking Big" which made my dream in to reality.

I have a long way to go. I just stepped upon the first step of the ladder!

Don't mind, this is how I write

Yep, I did it at last. My long time dream to write some thing. I know it will be absolutely scrap and people would hate to read it.

Oh! reading is too far, people might not even see my blog.

But Still I will write!

I am scratching my head thinking what to write. You know its my first blog and I want to write something interesting, which will make people laugh, scream, jump up-down. Ok, How about this.,

...... I always wonder about gossips. Its always interesting. It draws people attention. some time people drop their jaw as well while listening. Specially if it is about film stars. I just heard one of them in the after noon. You know what! Ash is pregnant. The moment my friend dropped it on the floor almost every one zapped. I asked her how did she get to know, she said "Keerthi told me". Now Keerthi is her friend who stays 500 kms away from where Ash lives. Now Keerthi got saw it in TV it seems. Cool isn't it.

Oops! I had to stop here now. Somebody is calling me. You keep thinking about this Gossip, I will be right back.
