today i want to tell u a li’l secret. its regarding my blogs. most of them are inspired from movies. reason – i m a li’l bit of movie freak. ok then, credit for todays blog goes to a wonderful movie called ‘Titanic’. and as the blog title reads, it is about life.
everyone knows titanic sank to bottom of the ocean. there were thousands of men and women on it. the movie titanic tells the story of two of them. rose and jack. just imagine how many of these ‘rose and jack’s wud have been there aboard the titanic. while watching the movie we even think of some other characters, but have u ever thought that there can be at least hundreds of rose and jack on titanic. i m saying this not just to show u the hugeness of titanic, but also that there are many things in the world, in our own life that get ignored many times.
coming back to what inspired me to write this blog. there is a scene in the movie in which jack talks about how he wud like to live his life. this happens when he is invited to dinner by rose’s fiancée. he says he has got all what he needs to live. air in lungs and sheets for drawings. when asked how he travels, he answers he likes to go his own way. every morning when he gets up he doesnt know whats gonna happen in the day ahead.
now a question. when u watch a movie, dont u feel that the world is revolving around the hero of the movie? what will u say if i asked u that how will u feel if i make u stand at the position of the central character of the movie? if i tell u to experience that world is revolving around u? it wud a very nice feeling right? everyday when u wake up, just close ur eyes for a moment, and say to god that ‘i dont know whats gonna happen in my life today; but whatever happens, i m ready for it.’ and see the fun. u ll feel enormous joy. it ll be like god is writing a story full of mystery and u r right at the centre of it. and as god is the writer, the story wud be really excellent. there is no doubt in it.
now the next part. when u read a story, u ll find there is a central character and there are many surrounding or supporting characters. now think, can there be a story only with one character? the answer is a big NO. so the other characters in story are as important as the central character. when u r god’s central character in ur life, then the people u meet, people around u are the supporting characters that support ur story of life. when u talk to anyone that person has some impact on u and vice versa. whenever u meet someone, look for anything that might catch ur attention. something peculiar about the person. it helps in remembering the person. and if that peculiar thing is of ur interest then that thing may get incorporated in ur life. this all happens subconsciously.
there are lot of things in the life that can not be analyzed. or shud i say understood? by normal human beings of course. the story written by god has got so many twists and turns, that it cant be analyzed by simple, plain mathematical logic. u just cant imagine how the logic of god may work. to give u an example; in my school once there was a new boy, whom i didnt like in first meeting. there was something about him, which i dont remember now, that made me dislike him. but within a week, he became my best friend. on the contrary, there was another new boy with whom i had a good rapport right from first day, is now my just friend. just friend with whom i had lost contact already.
see? u dont know which way ur life turns. so i may suggest u to entirely leave it to god’s hand, but just carry out ur duties given by him, in order to please him. so that he keeps writing good story for u. duties as in whatever u do in ur life, do it whole heartedly. give it the best u can. when u give all u have to the life, life will present u with nice and warm surprises. it is the law of life. whatever u give, u get it back. many times u get it back alongwith interest. so if u perform good in the play of life, u ll get awarded in ur life.

How you judge a person?
hello again.....
as compared o previous versions, this blog comes pretty early after the last one. this, u can say is may be an effect of my last blog on myself. jokes apart. just today morning this topic came to life in my wierd brain and it gave an order to body to write down my thoughts.
Ok. coming back to the topic. what exactly is the procedure u use to judge a person? it is said that the first impression is always the best impression. what all comes under first impression? look, body language, talking style etc. now comes the question, what all u conceive from looks and body language. many times looks are deceptive. u dont know who is wearing a 'mask' of a kind person. it is a human tendency to behave nice with someone with whom one has some work. so there may be a case that someone behaves nicely with u, just coz that person wants u to do something.
now lets think after the first impression. now what all things come to ur mind about the person. how and what he talks with u, about u, about people around. there is one more human tendency that when a person talks good things about u, u start thinking that the person is good. when someone says u need to improve or there is something bad about u, u may start thinking that the person is not so good. what i can say is only one thing. dont just go by the words any person says. get to the feelings of those words. decipher the feelings of the person who issaying the things about u. if its something good about u, then it may have been to show u what u r. and if its something bad then maybe that person needs u to know where u lack. read between the lines. thats a good habit.
there is one more case. the case in which u need someone's help, and seek out for it. but the person is either not willing to help or is not genuinly in a positon to help u. in this case, we are in such a great hurry of seeking help that we forget to check whether theperson is not willing to help or is genuinly not able to help. this is where u need patience. only patience can help in this condition. u need help. but think before asking for it. think that, is the person whom u r asking for help is able to help or not. if he is able to and still if he is not helping u then it wud mean that the person is not willing to help u. but its important to think first before acting. action without thought is nothing.
ok then. u need to know one last thing. keep ur senses on when u r judging a person. most important thing to know is u shud have an eye contact when talking to a person. it enables u chec whether the person is lieing or not.
phew..... enough for today. gotta go and have something to eat. otherwise i wont be in a position to judge anyone. and that will be like an illiterate person teaching how to write. so until my next blog bugs u, happy hunting. imean judging.....

Urgently needed: - "Time"
hello again.....
as u can see this blog comes after reallly looooooooooong time. i can say that i was busy wid some work, didnt have time, was not supposed to be doing time pass in these things and blah blah. but frankly speaking i also dont know the real reason why i took sooooooooo much time to continue the blogging.
as u can see; i wrote my last blog in around october, last year. at that time only i joined a company, and my 'job' started. so i may have a valid reason saying that i was so busy in my job that i didnt have time to write anything. this may have been true for first 2-3 months, but during the training one of my senior in company had mentioned that he had a hobby of writing. one of my fellow joinee asked him why he said 'had'. whether he didnt like to write now. the reply was 'i still like to write, but i dont have time.'
interesting, right? may i ask u one question here. what will be ur answer, when someone asks u whether u have time to do something. i guess u will first ask 'what is that u want me to do?' many of us do that. now if the work someone wants us to do, is not complicated or if it is complicated but favourite then we might answer positively. otherwise we may say 'lets see. if i get time i will certainly do' now the question comes, if the work someone wants u to do is not ur favourite or simple, will u really have time to do that?
coming back to my senior, he then received a reply from another one of my friend, 'if its ur hobby, then u shud be able to take out some time to continue it.'
perfectly right. what do we have hobbies for? they are for our own relaxation. when we say i dont have time for hobbies, it means that we are so much into work that we dont even have free time for ourselves. thats the time when u need hobbies the most. when u r working something which is related to one of ur hobby, ur entire body responds to it. every part of ur body gets something, something different from food, but required to work properly. this is one thing i have learnt recently, from a friend. hobbies keep u lively which is quite different from being alive.
now coming back to title. all those who say that they need time to do something, think where can they get it. its not something that u just go to a merchant and buy it. no one can give u free time in ur life. because that is the something which belongs to u. u have to think where can u get it. think about ur entire schedule of the day. think where u can save time. think about things which take more time than needed. things which take up time more than the things which are more important and need time. identify things which eat up ur time. ditch them. not entirely though. use that time for some important things. u, and only u, can find time in ur life, if u truely need it.
i have heard someone say that giving gyaan is very easy, but implementing it is rather tough. so i tried it on myself. i took out time from one of hobby to give time time for other hobby. not exactly TOOK OUT, but rather i myself understood that for me, writing is almost at same level of priority as that of the reading.
anyway thats enough for now. but god only knows, when i ll be able to implement the above thing again in my life. until then c ya. have a nice TIME.....

Just Imagine! (Day one)
statuary warning :- if u r good @ imagination then only read this blog. otherwise u wont be able to 'feel' it.
consider very normal, imperfect day of ur life. u r walking down the road to railway station to catch train for ur office or college. on the way u meet a stranger. he says 'hi'. now u r not in a state to reply or even recognise tht person. coz u r being late to the train. u just carelessly say 'hi' and try to ignore him. but its not over yet. tht person now starts to walk alongwith u. he starts the conversation. u still dont remember the person. the station is still 5 min away. tht means tht person is gonna be with u for 5 more min. u start to walk fast while sating to the man ,'i hav to hurry, otherwise i ll miss train.'
he says,'no problem. i also hav to catch the train.' u r still searching in the compartments of ur brain for any faces tht looked like this person. so u r not really listening. just responding. after few seconds u start to doubt tht u hav seen tht person somewhere. but u dont remember the name. but u feel awkward to ask his name after almost 1 min of talking. u think tht if u ask his name, he will feel offended. u think let it be. anyways station is just few minutes away. tht person is saying tht he also wants to catch a train but his limbs are not as fast as urs. now u start to grow angry of tht person. u think something to break the conversation.
u ask him,'hey bro, by which train u travel?' without even bothering to answer this, he asks u which train u r gonna catch? now u think tht the person is just getting out of hand. but next moment u think tht anyway the station is getting near so i ll bear with him for just 1-2 mins more.
just as u r about to enter the station the person says,"hey where r u goin? arent we supposed to catch train on platform 1?"
u say,"no re. my train comes on platform 10."
hearing this; that person gets very angry and says,"then u must not be knowing me. then why the hell were u talking with me all the time?"
stunned; u start thinking backwards in time. yeah why the hell was i talking to him? hey w8 a min. i was not talking to him. HE was doing tht job of talking. u want to tell him tht he was such a nuisance and got the hell out of you but just when u r about to open ur mouth u hear the announcement of ur train. now what wil be ur choice? leave the train to hav a li'l payback? or just forget it and rush for ur train?

10 things i wont forget about my college
even if i left my 'engineering' college after four long @#$% years; i will still remember some things about my college. coz whatever is the college like i hav spent four years of my life there.
these are the ten things of my college. they are not according to hierarchy.
1) stairs @ law entrance:
this was the place where i and my friends used to sit to get some fresh air out of my classroom; usually after the lunch. coz if we wud hav directly went to classroom we wud hav readily fallen asleep.
2) canteen:
like many students from various colleges like their own respective canteen irrespective of how that canteen is; i also like my canteen very much. especially for the food quantity. some of my most fav dishes are misal, special lunch, and fried rice.
3) HMCT canteen:
this was the place where we used to run to drink water or eat some light after playing cricket. but most of the times we ended up eating pastries or cakes or doughnuts.
4) office:
i hav seen so many samples in my college office that it is simply impossible to forget it.
5) library:
there are two reasons for me not to forget library. one is because of librarians. and other is my friend ashish. i started to study in library in PL bcoz of him. and it was total fun. i must say my marks started increasing from the sem i started to go to library for studying.
6) HMCT ground:
i mentioned above tht we used to play cricket. all thanx to this ground. we not only played cricket on this ground, but also enjoyed Horizons on this ground.
7) Rangoli hotel:
although the hotel is not part of my college; but we went there to take treats from 'topper' amitesh. i dont remember how many treats we took from him. maybe 2 or 3. but after horizons we went there to take treat. and as usual no of people in hotel with us, was more than no of people who were together @ horizons. fokat ka khana kaun nahi chahega?
8) temple in college:
this temple was inaugurated when we were in first year. so that temple is four years old in that college just like we are. we had day off on tht day. but as i hadnt formed any group then, i remained in college till regular time was over.
9) medical college:
in last two sem there was some construction work goin on in my college. so we hav to go through medical college. now if u know whats there in medical college then u ll know why i m saying tht i cant forget medical college.
10) bus stop outside my college:
this one is last but not at all least. i hav heard many times tht u cant forget things which happen to u for first time. like first love, first job, first house etc. this was the place where i was first ragged. i still laugh when i remember tht. coz my ragging was unusual. normally freshers pleade to seniors to leave them. but in my case the senior ragging me got so irritated that he finally left away. whenever i ll visit my college i ll still laugh at this point of location.
note:ashish and amitesh; sorry for mentioning ur names above.
i havnt mentioned friends in above list. its bcoz they are not things. they r my life. how can i forget them?

Life
now dont go literally on the title. this blog doesnt give any advise on how to live or rather how NOT to live. it wil just illustrate some imp points regarding life.
what is d basic requirement to live on? i wud say love. it is @ d base of evrything. we need something to live for. some may say we need food to live. its the basic requirement of body. not life. we require food to nourish our body. and we take the food as we love our body, unknowingly.
i hav heard someone say, 'we, the mankind, are social beings'. we need to live in a society. the reason is simple - we are afraid of being alone. afraid tht we wont get anyone to live for. anyone to love. when we r in society, we find many people, we meet many people. we find someone towards whom we get attracted. and then we get a motive to live for. its not only hard but also near to impossible to live without any ambition in life. the one who says he has no ambition has either havnt recognised his ambition or is lying or has reached divine status.
i hav a friend who once said to me tht it is impossible for him to live without friends. what are friends for? they make u feel better. they make u feel that u r important to someone. this feeling acts as a boost or catalyst in ur life. it makes u sense other peoples' feelings about u. it makes u think tht someone some where is always caring about u, waiting for u. this makes u feel better. i do not deny the importance of friends in life. but more important thing is being friendly. being frind is more important than having friend.
but i must say that if u hav read all this, then u know importance of love in life. this love can be of any form. like love of parent to child, friendship, siblings, husband to wife & vice versa etc. u need love to live in this world. so spread as much much love as u can to make this world a better place to live. what a nice sweet message to end the blog! i may become a good advisor!

Butterfly effect
hello
this blog comes after really looooong time. in between i had my exams. last one of engg. thank god its over. so now i m a free bird. free to enjoy a li'l. till the JOB starts. so i was watching movies this weekend. i watched the movie 'Butterfly effect'. really good movie.
the movie goes like this. there is a boy, who has got some blank-out periods in his life. these periods hide some very important memories of his. he grows up trying to cope with that. now he has got no blank-out periods for almost 7 years. the boy has a good habit of writing diary. so diary also has got blanks when he was blanked. one day he accidently comes across his diaries and starts reading.... he finds himself in place of the small kid i.e. himself at time of blank-out. now he is re-living the past. it changes future of himself and all of those who are linked with him anyway. so any small change he makes in his past changes so many lives.
he tries to save a kid and looses his own limbs. tries to save his dog, his friend gets killed. tries to save mom, looses girlfriend. everytime he tries to put evrything in place evrything changes, and somthing goes wrong. this is known as butterfly effect. according to this effect 'a butterfly in africa can cause storm in asia'. this effect came to existance when one scientist(dont remember the name.) was calculating something and didnt put the value of a constant to six decimals. he got all values opposite than expected, this was just because not putting three decimals more.
but now just imagine if u could change ur past like the one in movie, then what wil u like to do? means u shud do such a thing tht most of ur needs in future shud get satisfied. because more u change the past, more u wil suffer. when u change past, the memories wil change. that becomes very painful. just imagine all ur memories getting erased and rebuilt. that means even what u studied will go off. all those u hav met wil forget u and vice versa. ur best friend now can become ur worst enemy. ur strong point in ur studies can become ur weakest point. all this depends on how u change ur past. because seeds of past grow in trees of future. a small change in seed makes a gr8 change in whole tree.
so next time, if by mistake, u go thru a blank-out period or something like tht. just make sure to write tht down. who knows u may be able to change ur past!
