Fate at its best.....

Its when everything goes right, when everythin looks beautiful, when everythin looks set.. That is when adversity strikes and that is when life shows what it is very much capable of. Some lucky ones of course would have got away with it but even they would or will surely experience the adversity.. Im not praying for it!!!! im sure about it.Because we are all here not to just enjoy the good and the nice things of life but also to experience the adversities.

One forgets how important it is to experience the bad too. He does'nt appreciate the fact that it is for some good that we go through the bad. It is a vicious circle.
Good is followed by the bad and bad by the good. Here bad is a very subjective term. I have often noticed,for some a petty thing is a disaster and for someone like me even a disaster is not even a petty problem. ;)

Coming to the word "FATE" which im sure is one of the most unluckiest word in the English dictionary because it is the most accused word. Any bad thing happens to one he is prompt and shrewd enough to say "dude it is all fate"!!!
And i completely agree to it. It is all fate. I also hear people saying "You can write your own fate" But it is totally not practical and possible. The world would have been a total mess if one was given the freedom to write his own fate as what he wants to do and where he wants to go. And for those who have aspired and dreamt of something and have actually got it,i would say it is hardcore coincidence and a good personal orientation.
It is practically not possible because of the choice clash concept. There would be crores and crores of people wishing and choosing for the best thing to happen in their lives but the best thing can be only one. So how can these many acquire the best thing?? Now that is why everyone goes through shit in life because life itself wants the best thing to be rotated among everyone possible. That is why one cannot be happy forever.

The best thing to do in life is to just accept the fact that there is nothing that is under our control, all we can do is just gracefully accept the problems and laugh it off and that can happen only when we just enjoy the good and the bad too. There are so many bad things which we do knowing they are bad like smoking and excessive drinking! so why not this too??!!

LET THE FITTEST SURVIVE AND OTHERS JUST FADE AWAY!!!

An experience to experience....

School is over!!! :)No more academics!!! But definitely a lot of learning and lot of hard work.. more than ever. Till yesterday life was all about Marks,internals,inter collegiate competitions,canteen,asking out random girls,semester exams and bunking classes etc etc. Well with a great grief i can say all that is over.Now life is all about may be achieving targets, about how fast i can grasp my responsibilities and how well i get along with my team.(These are once again assumptions since i was never exposed to this activity of life)

I first got a call from a girl with a very cute voice asking if i was siddharth srinivasan. i was in college. I was all happy since it was a cute voice and said of course I'm. :) Then she said who she was and asked me if i would be interested in the role?? I said yes no problem. My interview date and time was finalised and it was at their own office at 1pm.The office was at RMZ tech park which i have heard a lot about but have definitely not entered since there was no necessity as such. That day i had to. I was so clueless as how to enter the place because there was no watchman to open the gate for me. it were all automated glass gates where the existing employees were just swiping their cards and entering the office.

I then took help of the security and managed to enter. I see the place,the floor, it looked like a never ending stretch of cubicles and systems.
I Expected everybody to look at me and gaze coz that is how it used to be in college and school. where a new student enters and all eyes would be on him/her wondering who he is ,where he is from and the gossips used to flow like a river. Then after i saw no difference in their action i realised it was a "corporate". People do not have time for their own selves, how would they possibly have time for some unknown boy like me.I proceeded and met the HR who had given a call to me. She greeted me and then took me to a glass sound proof room and as it is the office in spite of so many people working was extraordinarily silent and now the glass room's silence was just Way too loud!!!! Silence was tearing my ear drums. And then a small brief up about the company and a brief assessment she made about me and asked me to wait for my next round.

The second round was taken by a very smart and a dude like person whose English was impeccable and the approach was a mix of a strict corporate and a friend. It went on for more than half an hour. Even there i ended up speaking about the fossil watch which my students gifted me few days ago. Even he was impressed with the watch. So i had few more rounds after that where in all the rounds my CV was ripped left and right and finally i was told " your selected when can you join??" I was really happy since it was my first professional interview which i cracked and was being inducted.
I joined on Monday where i no more had to run around to access the security gates. All i had to do was just swipe the card and the gate would open.

And on the very first day i saw few candidates who were awaiting their interview turn. I was wearing my id card the tag of whose held my company's name and i acted as if i owned the company in front of them just to show off and was directing them as if i was the contractor of the building.

Its Definitely a confidence booster when you do not slog for a good job and run around places to enter a good corporate. I realised that, all it requires to crack an interview is 20 % technical knowledge, 80 % confidence.

Fuckin divide!!!!!

One elderly and supposed to be a wise person told me today : " My dear boy, i do not mind u having girlfriends.. But see to it that the girlfriend is not a Muslim,christian,or low caste Hindu girl... I said OK.

Later another person very informally tells me, "Dude why are you so close to north Indians like this?? They are supposed to be over smart and people with no morality until you belong to their community." I said OK.

In this way everyday i encounter people telling me and advising me on whom i should be friends with and whom i shouldn't.
I feel atrocious when i look at people having such wrong notions and contentions on the people who do not belong to their caste or religion or clan. Why are they not aware that after all even the others whom they feel are "aliens" also are made of flesh and blood!!!! Why so much divide?
What great did we do and what bad did they do that we so ruthlessly comment on how good or bad they are considering just their caste,religion and the place from where they hail!!!
The Worst part is when people are discriminated based on their looks! People believe what a white guy says and don't even bother about what a dark guy says. Just not colour but also based on gender. If a woman says that she was harassed by a man -The whole world believes her. But the same if a man says not even a single person believes!! Why?!!!
The whole world is divided just like how husk is divided from the food grain! Its a myth that the world is completely out of such old practices.NO!!, even today is very much relevant but just that today it is more westernised like our clothes that's all... Why are we not able to consider everyone as the same ,give them equal respect and treat them with equal dignity? untill we personally have a problem with them i don't think we should discriminate. WHat right does the society have to influence someone to like or hate someone else???? PEACE!!!!

A Tribute....

All of us meet various different people in different stages of our lives at different places.even i have met a lot of people who have left evident imprints. At this very moment i can think of my few MA friends who have been a great moral support to me in my ups and downs. They dint do anything abnormal for me to feel so special about them. May be they did it in the simplest possible way that makes me cherish them and feel happy and good to have met them in my life. This is not a mere good bye to them coz friends are supposed to be forever IF they intend to. I wish the three people whom i felt are very special and whom i love the most stay in touch forever with me to once again make things special in the most simplest way.

Ads...
One of the most down to earth person i have met in my life. I still remember the first time i saw her enter the class. Looked so sophisticated, implicit, show off etc etc.. all qualities revolved around them. And to a good period of time i thought the qualities which i had associated with her were right to a great extent.I remember the day i took her and some of my classmates to krishna sagar when they could'nt even walk from the college campus to KS. But the opinion totally changed when the whole class went fa her birthday party. She was full of life,zest,zeal..... Well i do not kno if it was the effect of the alcohol or what, but all my opinions about her totally changed. Who ever said it, said it right that alcohol brings people closer. it removes social barriers.It was her Bay party that brought the whole class closer than it was. People say one cant be perfect and completely balanced in life.. but ads proved it wrong by being really balanced in her thoughts and actions. a great personality to have met in my life indeed.. :) A great motivator and an optimist.someone who can make anybody feel good with her innocent and genuine care and affection. But u gotta be a gud person. she very well knows how to be otherwise with people who are otherwise.. ;P

Arch..
Hmmm... Someone whose age i still do not believe. So tender and kind by heart and so matured smart n polished by attitude.The first day when she told to the whole class about herself,i looked at her and wondered- she must be so amazingly talented. I should say my prediction was not at all wrong. I have never seen someone sleep so much and still pull it off in the tests and exams. She was really great in making me feel comfortable by saying " all day i was sleeping, i still haven't touched it". This is what she always used to say before exams and i start feeling good by thinking there is someone to give me company! Sleeps apart, Someone who has always given an adultly care and affection and also someone who has come down to my age and never made any of us feel that she was pretty elder to us. The unforgettable moment which i have shared with her was at YD when me ads aks and wish were waiting for our dosas and the entertainment she gave us there made my LMAO after really long and when i needed it the most. I recalled how to laugh and cherish after her deliberate or not so deliberate act of entertainment. :P. I owe her a treat for that. in fact all four of us owe.

Aks..
Oh!! a very very sober and discreet character i have ever met.Never knew what exactly he wants to become and what exactly he wants to be.Only HE alone knows it perhaps. Hardly has a sound sleep unlike all other of us. And wakes up at 3 am sleep wit just a finger touch on him. Sometimes very happy Sometimes very quite, never really could understand him. But have understood enough essential things to identify himself as what he is. Someone who entered our class little late after the college started with a book in his hand which read "FREAKONOMICS" really do not know why he used to carry it to the class when he hardly used to read it. later he stopped bringing it though may be after realising that i was not going to work. lol :P.But he is someone who has helped in me in all possible ways he could whenever i needed help of any sort.Dissertation times cannot be forgotten when he helped me out so much with mine. Remember times when i have seen the dusk setting in and dawn beginning in his house. Will miss him and his house a lot.

The three people will never be forgotten in my life. I shall always remember and cherish the sandwich shop chitchats every afternoon, and sudden plans of nandhini and ice and spice in the afternoon after class. Their presence have always made me feel good.They have always supported me for the right and discouraged me for the wrong directly or indirectly. It isnt a deliberate effort they put but i was lucky enough to have them in my life the way they are ,which is really utopian and im sure has changed me in many aspects without my own notice. May be not in my actions but definitely in thoughts. for example, I now know many more pubs and good food joints, i now know many more english songs than i knew before and also i know how to speak better english.. :) ;) .. its a tribute im paying for my dear friends who have always been there with me during the happy and sorrow times. Wish they would keep in touch and sprinkle their positive vibes on me which are so very genuine!!!
