oh I read something lovely in the Newspaper today…

This here ( sounding like southerner am I ) is an excerpt from an Editorial in The Hindu -…its titled   WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION ?” What is your motivation ? It is the cliched question that a washed up schlock actor, appearing in a dire U.S. detective show as a, erm , washed up schlock actor, might ask the soon to be bunked off character playing the theatre direc Hackneyed scriptwriting aside, it is also a question few of us bother to ask when stuck in front of our computer screens, or on our commutes to and from being stuck at our computer screens.But even if its not a question to reflect on loud, in public places, we should consider what motivates us at work. What really made you get up this morning and trundle into into the office with the sweating masses to knuckle down until five or six in the evening ( probably for the foreseeable future ) ? Nice question to ask ourselves….every day…..

….new kid at the starting blocks…..

Honestly after the retirement of Michael Schumacher or Schumi as we fans call him retired from F1 racing I was left wondering “now where would transfer my loyalties, to whom should I look forward to???”. I thought the natural progession would be to back any new who joins Ferrari- Schumi’s team, and I had a reason to be excited too for Kimi Raikonen joined Ferrari in the place of  Schumi , and I have always found Massa boring anyway. The Season started with a bang with Kimi winning in Melbourne, and I felt I was justified in keeping my loyalties with the prancing horse. In that particular race a rookie in his debut race came third and I thought it probably was a flash in the pan and more than the talent of the driver it must be the wonderful car Maclaren has come up with this season.       That rookie turned out be a brit with lots of firsts to start with the first black driver in the history of F1, and hence he is a trailblazer and whatever he does shall be a first in one way or another. This guy, his name is Lewis Hamilton, over the last seven races has shown what a magnificient racer/driver he is , he has proven all cynics and critics wrong, made every other driver stand up and notice him, made the current reigning two time champ Alonso crib in public like a baby and above all he leads the championship race and he has finished his every single race till now on the podium always in the top three.   Hope the sports columnists are right in their predictions that this guy who has been a winner at every stage of his motor racing career is the ” Tiger Woods ” of F1 racing. Keep reaching the chequered flag Lewis you have yourself a new fan , mate……  

how to….

Not that any one needs to learn from me, but, this just my way of handling a problem/a mistake…etc and such niggles that may itch and irritate or upset us.   First and foremost when something has happened, I react like any normal human ( yes!! you need not doubt, I am one) would do act on the spur of the moment..cry/laugh/crib/shout/sometimes angry but then after a while I think and analyse for myself the situation from all angles and then look for justification in my own contribution to the whole scenario and then hit upon the realisation that ” probably I deserved it, serves me right ” or ” hey I didnt deserve it “…if its the former I would have then and there learnt a valuable lesson and try as long as I am in my right senses not repeat the same. If its the latter , then probably I would stop cribbing about something that has already happened and since time and that moment cannot come back, I would rather live with and try to dig out something positive and possible out of it ad invariably I have noticed that something beautiful/good/positive can be ‘ salvaged’ from any such thing…like from a SHIPWRECK, what could possibily be positive from the loss of many lives, yes, true its a great tragedy due to an act of God or that of man, but maybe the survivors would now treasure and value the rest of their lives better, maybe they would try to lead a better life and tell their loved ones every single day how much they love them. These could be the instant positives , they will be visible only if you go looking for them ( one thing about being positive, its a constant quest, every breathe we take we should make a conscious effort). The positives which some others will recognise could instantly be found or after centuries, like the treasure trove that ship was probably carriage, hey imagine sometimes after a 100/1000 years even the junk carried by the wrecked ship becomes a treasure, just like a piece of wood becomes a piece of coal and a piece of coal becomes a piece of rock called diamond.  So my philosophy is simple keep looking for the positive in everything, anything and probably you would find it right now/today/tomorrow/after a life time or probably the next generations…….but , Hey keep looking…..nothing can be as big a disaster as you think it to be or make it out to be……….. 

The beautiful Irony…

The ‘beautiful irony’ this strange and rare feeling I just experienced….right now, the personal bad news..( no need to share something like that..) and then the sudden Good news someone else a close friend got, and I am smiling and wishing all the best to the recepients of that good news, and all of a sudden this wonderful analogy hits ( I hope it reiterates my reputation for coming up with good analogies..lol )…..Ok!! on hearing the good news combined with my personal bad news…I suddenly feel like I am tasting my favourite “Dark Chocolates” which are neither sugary sweet nor down right bitter, they are just the right blend of mild sweetness with a rich dark bitter taste of cocoa…just like life,  a wise man once said ” Happiness is a passing cloud between two sorrows “……….”I am Lovin it !!!”…not Mc Donalds silly i hate the burger chain and its bland and tasteless food, lacks spice……..

the week that…was…

The week that was , wasn’t any special there was the usual slog your butt off routine, running in the corridors of justice trying to reach in time to the particular court hall where I am to play my little part in the process called delivery of justice. “Justice ” , from what I know being in such close proximity to the temples of justice and being a participant in the process , is a very tricky thing to explain, maybe some other day i delve into it indepth.

There were those moments like the early morning rides back home from a night out at a friend’s place, when there was the perfect blend of warm sunshine and cool breeze, a condition of comfort and pleasure no air conditioning system or climate control gizmo can ever replicate, just like no amount of chilled water from the cooler can quench my thirst, infact it only leaves my throat dry.

Conversations…….

yipeee!!!! i am able to copy paste my myspace stuff here….lol

10:53 PM - conversations…..

Conversations ,one of the best things invented man to communicate with his fellow man,there are many forms of communication like gossip,visual communications-dance,actions etc,but of all the styles i love the CONVERSATION style the most. The conversation as a style doesnt give you gossip about others or bitch about others,in my humble opinion(wonder this claim shows a persons humility or not…but then that it is another debate for another day) a conversation talks about ideas, rather, to put it in a better way a  it is the exchange of ideas and views between two people.

I just had an interesting conversation with a friend,and ,i expressed my views as to how i would love my life to turn out in future,well, it may not happen but then there is no harm in thinking  that it could.my friend told me whats happening in her life and her views and understanding of whatever is happening,and it certainly helps to broaden your horizon,your heart gets bigger,you know yours are not the only problems in this world and in comparison to some other peoples problems your own pale in significance.Thats why i love…Coffee,Conversations and Chocolate(the darker the better)…..i am a conversationist..yeh thats what i am.

Current mood:  cheerful

The Beginning….

“There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors.”
Jim Morrison

This here is a favourite quote of mine ( don’t mind my pidgin english )….actually thats what I wanted to name this new blogspace…” Doorsofperception”  or something like that, but, it looks like my creativity wasn’t creative enough,  for the title was already taken.

Jeez!!! cant believe these days I am at a loss for words, but then looks like I need to be in that right mood and when those thoughts flood your mind there is nothing to jot them down and stash them away, and when you dont get them out of the mind, they get swept away with the rest of the crap that gets washed out of your head……every day.

Well now you can how misleading the title is and hey !!! looks like I am having some serious starting problems here, quite a ” Begining ” it is huh!!!………
