june 2005, a month of hectic activities

Yes, it has been bit hectic. There have been fights, both in professional life and personal life. many things which i didnt wanted are happening. and the gap between me and the world seems growing. But i like the fights with world, because it makes sure that i will not be lazy and keep working on my goals. and the other reason is that the more i fight with the society the more it remembers me atleast for wrong reasons.

I became more alone in personal life, i dont understand what could suffice this. Ofcourse i was always weak in personal relationships, was trying hard to meet all the commitments i have, and the truth is i always wanted to be commited, and meet the commitments. But still things dont happen as we want. the other day i was remembering a saying "If something can go wrong, it will go, and at the worst possible time".

There have been tough times, lot of pain which made me cry, some times i just wonder do i really worth of my life? but then i do console myself (ha ha no other way around) i strongly believe i am doing worth of what i can do, and i wish to do justice to the role given to me by god. Life is something wondeful. I often get amazed by the thought of life. How wonderful god acts are!. The polymorphism of the material, it's simply superb. There exist the stone, sand and living beings. everything is made up of the very same material but having different functionality.

The recreation of the material, the amoeba, hydra etc, which get destroyed to created new ones, and the trees which grows seeds or roots giving raise to another trees, the birds which lay eggs, the mammals, growing of tender ones inside one's stomach and the delivery and the feeding of them.

It just fascinates me, some times i wonder the engineering skills of the god, and of human.

The worshipping of god in the human form( i do know the god's existance in another animal forms, in human community).

creating the living from non-living and making the living join the non-living, the birth and the death, its amazing concept.


Oh its going too big. let me stop with few thoughts..

Begging in new forms
Begging for human and money is going in different form, thing that attracted my attention is a news in a daily about some beggers making kids weak intentionally and rent them for begging for 10 or 12 rupees. This is something scaring me. Cant we see a world where everybody will be having what they need, and having nothing which could distrub other people?

The modern india A -380

I was reading some other artical which was talking of indian aviation problems of handling A -380 planes. seems for every 3 A -380 indian aviation industry owns, one should be flying.. The perils of infrastructure problem(here parking for planes)

Thats all for now, time to start work

Trip to rameswaram

It was a nice trip to rameswaram. I thank my friends P.R and Arun they took all the strain they can take to make my trip a memorable one. i thought its going to be a picnic kind of thing, but it became more than that.

The ramanatha temple,sea, the beautiful island, and arun house where i stayed, everything is great. it was nice trip.

I wanted to see kanyakumari too, even i booked tickets but when we went to rameswaram bustand, we were told that the bus break down. so we returned home.

Arun house is in thangachi madam(second stage or murugan koil stop as i remember).

I enjoyed the fresh air, the sweet water, the temple theerthas. everything was great.

Trip went fine, but i returned with a dull heart, the accident that happened on the way near gandhigram (some 11 KM from dindigal) where a car rammed into bus, it was pathetic even to listen my co passengers in KSRTC bus.

The difference between life and death is matter of few seconds, even it may be unknown. those who die in sleep are lucky they even dont realize before it happens it or we can say they never know it.


The world is amazing, but i dont know i always find difficulty in adjusting to it.

Dare to Fail

Yes, absolutely. Success always comes for those who dare to fail after dedicated attempt towards the goal. It could be anything. The goal could be a good job, or a getting admission into a school/college, love or could be anything.

Success always runs away from those who are scared of failures. Infact as the saying "Failures are stepping stones to success", each failure is a step ahead towards success in life. and ofcourse i assume here that there is enough dedication, persistance and courage to achieve what we want.

Great people like world reknowned scientists had great failures who gave us electricity , train, planes the computer etc... The list goes on.


I think success if comes at first instance of attempt, Its fine and good. But there is nothing wrong in repeated attempts. Because there are more than enough examples who were turned down by the fate or the society for their initial attempts to invent/discover something new.

There is nothing big being as human and still living a ordinary life. I think god has created each of us for a reason. May that is what we have been doing. And we need to have attention and dedication towards our goals.


Yes some times we do forget out goals and desires or to be honest they get suppressed by the worldly things. A guy may forget all his dreams, while trying to make his gal friend happy. or a person might have been allured to deviate from the original goals because of the worldly things say drinks or the lust or some may be just lazy enough to forget their goals.


Once i was reading a magazine which spoke of a small kid who takes sand in his hand and slowly lets it to fall down from hands. The author was actually referring to man who leaves off his goals. Yes I feel this is something terrible, which never get distracted. A small compromise is ok but not the full life. You may prefer to fall down to raise again, but the thing that requires here is the raising again.


yes, sometimes we do need to sacrifice some short time pleasures for the long term goals. But the successful people felt its worth of it. We do need to take pains and troubls, if we have to achieve the intended goal.

The warning is never ever forget what you want to be. Dont kill your ambitions. But at the same time be sure that is what you want. Never get demotivated by worldly things. Some people do get confused on what they want to be. Ask your heart "What exactly you want to be". Ask it now, and ask it after some time and keep on asking it, if the answer matches everytime, you can take it for granted that that is what you want.
:-)

And finally

All the best

Never compromise in life

I think the most successful people in their life of this world, were successful because they never comproise what they percevied. You have a wondeful dream and work sincerely towards the realization of the dream. Having good thoughts but no acts is nothing better than having no thoughts at all.

One could compromise on non-essential things, but not the what one has been dreaming of as the AIM. Simple things come and go in life, but the strong to achieve the goal, should never be decevied.

Yesterday night I was reading a novel called "Alchemist". it was a good book, it was a good one.

A Busy week

This week has been bit busy for me. One side i had one very important personal commitment and other side i had demo to US team(Doug and Gaurav the very important guys in digital harbor). And fortunately both went smoothly. I went back to my college days as i was studying hard with full attention and concentration. It was a great learning for me. i refreshed some of my bascis of software.

Demo, we were bit worried about the demo but it went fine. this actually gave us an opportunity for presenting the last few months work. The major work has been done in the last 3 months though the project has been there from the jan 2005 itself.
Its good work, and i feel comfortable in doing demo what i have done.


One thing i thought of blogging is that never ever take anything for granted.
Use the freedom in the positive way. Dont try to raise against those who gave freedom to you. it will hurt them badly and also it make them adamant in future, i.e somebody else may fee the trouble by your mentor(he may not give freedom any more to anybody else) so beware of what you are doing.

Confession is good

Its always better not doing mistakes. but even if we do, its better we confess it and correct ourselves in the beginning itself. It gives us confidence while removing our internal inferiority or the feeling of mistake.

Often people land up doing bigger and bigger mistakes to cover up the small ones they have done intentionally/unintentionally.

A simple lie lands you up saying thousands of other lies in making the first silly lie to appear as truth.

I feel the earlier we rectify ourselves its always the more better.


I did it too, today so i thought of sharing some thought on it.

Its wondeful to be without mistakes, but we poor humans tend to do mistakes..
we should always learn from mistakes, which make us strong in confidence, in technology and in life.

No, i dont mean we should do mistakes when ever possible and learn from them.
its always good to see a perfect life, everybody wants it. so my intention is that when something goes wrong, its better as early as possible we rectify it.

after all "to err is human"

Human relations

Life has been a mix of everything. but at any point of time, any place i have been in the company of friends. friends play a vital role in our life. after all we cant live in solitude.


I strongly believe that there should be proper understanding, and trust in any relationship. When there is a doubt its better you get it cleared in the budding state itself, instead of keeping all your doubts in hidden form, and making the relations break.


Trust or faith in a relationship is very important, yes often we may encounter with the things we may not like, and yes never ever expect your companion to always obey you or just live according to your wish. first thing we have to learn for the success of any relationship is that we should honor the other person. its simple and makes relationships stronger.


Other Thing i was feeling important in any relationship is HONESTY. Yes, it does help a lot to grow the relationship. infact the basic reason behind may of the relationship breakages is that either of them is not honest.


Being honest is the first step towards creating trust in any relationship. you fight, you cry, you shout, you laugh, but warning is that do everything with honest, dont PRETEND in relationship.


One old formula which i like is that when you want "XYZ" to be according to your wish, first ask a question yourself, have you been according to your friend wish? if not just think a while, are you really justified with your wish?


Life is wonderful when surrounded by good people, ofcourse good or bad is relative but still in the social frame work we live many agree on what could be good or what could be bad.

Obviously we cant say a criminal or a rapist as a good or great person . goodness lies in the character.


SPEAK OUT:
Never talk in back of anybody, if you feel have some opinion about somebody say to that person at the face. when you have 2 friends, talking bad of first friend to a second one is never a good idea. its something cheap something that is not worth of it. this is about the relationships not about generic thing. obviously i cant go and say my thoughts about Prime Minister to him, this is something that i feel sharing with just my friends....
But speaking always helps, you know this is the future formula of all the dialogs. and the only solutions that will exist for ever in turms of peace.
weapons are not going to give any solutions its that you guys sit together and discuss and express your views understand the other person views.. and then surprisingly you will find it out that there is great intimacy in your relationship all of sudden.

Software design

Yesterday and today we concentrated on design aspects of the current project(link analysis tool).

I felt happy with the reviews and discussions of the project that i had with PM Mr. Vadiraj and my lead Nanda Kishore.

One thing is for sure, we got to expose all our good work properly.

a good work done, but not exposed properly is worth not doing the work.
