The great Indian IT dream

There are various sections of people some of us are addicted to be busy. If we don’t have work we create it. There was this fellow I know John from a small town in the interiors of Madhya Pradesh. He was an average IT professional with very high ambitions a dream of doing MBA one day and then to work for Lehman Brothers. Fresh out of college he got an admission in one of the top MNC of INDIA say XYZ Inc. He did appear for CAT that year but could not attain any success in it since college, studies - the pressure was too much to handle. Hence he decided that after two years of work experience he can appear for MBA and his chances of getting into IIMs will be "high". So he started getting himself involved in the daily routines of the so called office routine. However in the back of his mind he was always aware that this is not the place where he belongs and MBA was his real dream.
Remember as I mentioned earlier he was addicted to be busy. Hence he started working, working and working day in and day out. Taking extra work which he was never credited for. He worked for 15 – 16 hrs a day. This never bothered him; this gave him a high as if he was a real big shot in the organization. He used to boasts with his friends as to how much work he does and of how great significance he holds in his team. But he was never officially credited for his effort. In the mean while he made many friends many of them have spent there entire life in metro hence to mix well with them he started to like things like in music heavy metal, to him it sounded nothing more than a broken radio. Also he started to drink no "BOOZ" it really made him believe that he is one of them. But in his heart he was still a simple guy from a small town who still like her Donald Duck. Excess of anything is bad, so this pretentious attitude in couple of months made him to forget his likes and dislikes. Then something strange started to happen his dream of doing an MBA seems to drift away. Deep in his heart he envied the people who were able to make to IIM this year and if only he had less work he also might have been there. But he was stuck there in to the web of his work now that people around him knew that he like to be overworked started pouring work on him. He felt lost but then he didn’t had time to think about it he was too busy to waste time on cribbing hence he started fate to take over him. I guess John’s dream is no less different than mine or yours. We all strongly believe that we don’t belong here and we are overworked underpaid labors. But are we really doing something to change our own fate. Here no one is victimizing us we are our own victims. We are the victim of our own laziness or own taken for granted attitude. I can say this because I have felt it I am a part of this great Indian IT dream. I dreamed to be different than the rest but I am living my biggest night mare. I am lost in the crowd now I am one of those whom I despised my entire life. Some times it gets frustrated but except for cribbing I am not able to do anything. Now I have decided I won’t let fate take over I will design my own fate. I am proud of what I am and won’t pretend to be some one else just so that people will accept me. I wish we all could realize this before it is too late. Break the shell today yes I am talking to you. All the best.

Life is nothing but an art of drawing without using an eraser

Some people have weird habit of adding a phrase at then end of there mail as if it the motto of there life and they are blind followers of it. Like one of my close friends has the above mentioned line stated at the bottom of a very hilarious mails. I guess she has never heard of "amnesia". Also she hasn’t watched the movie called as PAYCHECK. With the advances made by science in the files of neuro-technology we can choose as to which memories we want to stay with and what we want to be erased. Hope they make this discovery soon since I have many memories which I can easily live without knowing it ever happened. For example the instance I flunked in my semester like the time when my mother caught me sneaking in to the house after a late night party I wasn’t allowed to step outside of my house for a month. There are more painful memories than this which I can live without knowing. However all the happy memories in my life will make my life sound very boring? I guess with the invention of this machine will come an ethical question would it be allowed to erase your memory parents could forcibly erase the satanic memories of their kids it can be a huge violation of the human rights commission. Also if this machine put in to the wrong hands can be very destructive. Hence like all the other innovative inventions of this century this too will be banned. Sad L

Loose yourself

Loose yourself to the darkness in the night
Loose yourself to the waver in the sea
Loose yourself to the morning dew drops
Loose yourself to the silence in the storm
Loose yourself to a child’s smile
Loose yourself to the temple bells
Loose yourself to the lover lost
Loose yourself to the winter’s loneliness
And then when you have lost yourself completely
You will find your inner self

Californication

The famous song by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I tried a lot to find the meaning of this word but unluckily there is no dictionary meaning of this word. Some words like this one are so fluid there meaning changes from person to person. Like the correct usage is like the "Dream of californication". Yesterday I went to get together at my aunts house and I found out that my uncle using the phrase "In morning when I got a call from my boss I had a californication" in the middle of a conversation .This statement caught my eye and did he meant that he had some kind of cramps or did he had a thrashing from his boss I was quite confused as to what it meant. Latter that day I asked my uncle about this conversation he replied and said "Beta, I meant that I had a promotion" how can it mean a promotion on that he said since I was so happy I had a "californication". Okay accepted it’s a fluid word. So what does this phrase means "Dream of californication". It’s a state of day dreaming where you build baseless castles in the air.
When you sit in you bath tub and dreaming of beautiful girls hanging out with you on a beach.
When you are in a boring meeting and then you dream of taking you bosses position least aware of the fact that you need to make a presentation.
When you are giving you IIT examination and dream that how great it would be if you got admission to IITB you entire career will be formed.
According to me this is the state of californication. Completely gibberish isn’t it.

At least it settles in the final location

It's understood that Hollywood

College days woh haseen pal

Raah dekhi thi is din ki kabse

Aage ke sapne saja rakhe the naa jaane kab se

Bade utavale the yahaan se jaane ko

Zindagi ka agla padaav paane ko

Par naa jane kyon ..

dil mein aaj kuch aur aata hai

Waqt ko rokne ka jee chahta hai

Jin baaton ko lekar rote the

Aaj un par hansi aati hai

Na jaane kyun aaj un palon ki yaad aati hai

Kaha karta tha ..badi mushkil se chaar saal seh gaya

Par aaj kyun lagta hai ki kuch peeche reh gaya

Kahi ankahi hazaaron baatein reh gayi

Na bhoolne wali kuch yaadein reh gayi

Meri taang ab kaun kheecha karega

Sirf mera sar khane kaun mera peecha karega

Jahaan 2000 ka hisaab nahin wahaan 2 rupay ke liye kaunladega

Kaun raat bhar saath jag kar padega

Kaun fail hone par dilasa dilayega

Kaun galti se number aane par gaaliyaan sunayega

Buddy's mein coffee kis ke saath piyoonga

Wo haseen pal ab kis ke saath jiyoonga

Aise dost kahaan milenge jo khaai mein bhi dhakka de aayein

Par fir tumhein bachane khud bhi kood jayein

Meri ghazlon se pareshaan kaun hoga

Kabhi mujhe kisi ladki se baat karte dekh hairaan kaun hoga

Professors ke PJ par RAKSHAS ki tarah kaun hansega

"pugai mein haarne wale ki treat"..is chakkar mein ab kaun fansega

Stage par ab kis ke saath jaoonga

Juniors ko faaltoo ke lectures kaise sunaoonga

Doston ke liye professor se kab lad payenge

Kya hum ye fir kar payenge

Raat ko 2 baje pohe khane kaun jayega

3 gilaas lassi peene ki shart kaun lagayega

Kaun mujhe meri kabiliyat par bharosa dilayega

Aur jyada hawa mein udne par zameen pe layega

Bas ek baat se dar lagta hai doston

Hum ajanabi na ban jayein doston

Zindagi ke rangon mein dosti ka rang feeka na pad jaye

Kahin aisa na ho doosre rishton ki bheed mein dosti dum tod jayye

Zindagi mein milne ki fariyaad karte rehna

Agar na mil sakein to kam se kam yaad karte rehna

Chahe jitna hanslo aaj mujh par, mein bura nahi manoonga

Is hansi ko apne dil mein basa loonga

Aur jab yaad aayegi tumhari,

yahi hansi lekar thoda muskura loonga.

Ingredients of a terrorist

While I was going through the newspaper today the headlines caught my eye "Sanjay Dutt not guilty". Okay so he is not guilty of TADA then why is he being sentenced for 5 years of imprisonment oh he has be charged under the arms act for the possession of an AK-46. Accha so what were the parameters on which he was "not guilty". So let us analyze the situation what are the characteristic features of a terrorist.
Possession of arms
Trained to use various weapons of destruction
A long history of betrayal and pain
Being brain washed
Signs of rage or anger
A police record (optional)
So did our convict posses any one of these characteristics. Lets say about option number 1 okay agreed he was in possession of arms and since he had arms he would definitely knew how to use them since I really doubt him to be that stupid. The third option well he had a major break up 4-5 years back that did make in a lot aggressive and between you and me he did had a police record he was drunk and driving and he hit an old lady crossing the street. So the option 5 and 6 covered hence it makes 5 down just one more to go. Brain washed we all know that during his break up he was into drugs and we all know that drugs affect the nervous system of a human hence he lost control of his own thinking. So we exhaustively analyzed the situation and according to us he is GUILTY for TADA. But what do we know we are just the common man.

Count Dracula my friend

Since I was in my teens I used to be mesmerized by count Dracula his homeland Transylvania. It’s not just because of it sexual hypnotism but because I thought I could relate my self with "It". I discovered the evil side of me the one which I never knew existed. I surfaced all my deepest held desires, my secret passions came to life. I started understanding myself my inner self started unraveling itself. The innocent girl of 16 wasn’t as innocent after all. Even Bram Stoker might not have predicted the intensity of the character he created. I sometimes find my self thinking as to how will it be if I had a real life experience with a Dracula.
What would I do?
Why don’t you ask this question to yourself what will you do and be realistic?
If you ask me I think you don’t need to go out in the dark moonless night to search for a Dracula. Try to concentrate and look within you have you never felt sinful, have you never wanted to do something which you knew no one will approve of. Don’t we all regret something in our past which if given a chance we wish to undo. So let me portrait a picture of the similarities between us and the Count Dracula.
Blood Sucking: I guess in this world some one is sucking your blood and you sre sucking someone else’s.
Cross and garlic: No matter how brave we portray ourselves to be each one of us is scared of something or the other even the legendary bhim was scared of rats.
Repressed sexuality: Okay don’t tell me this but u all have felt this once or the other.
So I guess the creature that had taken most of ours breadth is indeed within us. How spooky is that. J
