28JUN09 Posting done now :D

This was supposed to be posted back on 28JUN09 ; Just shows how lazy I am.

---------------------

As I start writing this, I wonder where I am headed with this post or this piece (would like to call it a piece of art, but then no one else will except me).

Lots of things have happened these past few weeks I am totally disconnected with reality. Want to race through life at the same time don’t want it to be a blurry haze when I do look back. Had the opportunity to interact with several different types and kinds of people for which I am very happy and they made me realize how lucky I am to have such a good life and upbringing. I am extremely blessed to have a loving family, friends who genuinely care about me and my well being with no expectations.

If one would ask who Siva is to you, I wonder what they would say, is he someone you can depend upon or someone who is irresponsible and careless. I do not want to be someone who knows everyone in the world, I just want to be a person who can be termed as a good guy and who never bothered anyone and always tried his best to help his friends when they needed him the most.

The world has become a place where people are chasing after money that they forget that life should be about the Pursuit of Happiness and not about materialistic things. I can call myself the Prima Facie evidence for this; I am more bothered about making money and my future that I have stopped living a life I truly want. Not that I know what I truly want still I am pretty sure where I am at the moment is not where I want to be. A couple of days back in the middle of the night I wanted to learn cooking and become a chef, I brushed it aside thinking that I was hungry and that’s the reason for the sudden yearning to be a cook. The other day I wanted to be a DJ and this time the music being played by the DJ in the Pub was horrendous and he wasn’t that great in mixing the tracks. Not that I know A – Z about DJing and all, it’s just that the music neither relaxed me nor ensured that I had a blast. I do have these urges and most are quelled when I think about my responsibilities and my needs. Someone very close to my heart suggested that I try my hand in Journalism or some form of writing as a profession as my words blew their mind off. I do consider myself a good pen however I have read blogs of quite some amazing folks who with their words could really inspire you or could give you a tour of the ancient ruins with just their words and I can never do. I can only ramble and never make a point. This is my blog and I will be venting my feelings which are off late have only been frustrations rather than anything else. Till I figure out what I really want to do my rambling will continue, sorry guys you have no reprieve from me and my blogs J

I remember writing about Needs and Wants wherein I had quipped to an Interviewer that “I don’t need this job however I do want this job”. I have been thinking about my needs and want quite a lot; one thing I understand is that my wants are more than my needs. I want lots of things that ensure me that I am never happy with whatever I have. Content is not a word that is in my dictionary. I am never content, always unhappy and always wanting more. Not being content and wanting more has it advantages vis-à-vis it motivates you to achieve more, it propels one to accomplish greater heights. Knowing myself, I have realized that though I want more out off life, am not ready to put in the effort, nor am I willing to sacrifice things that I can do without for the time being. Whether it’s a couple of hours of sleep or the sudden urge to have ice cream in the middle of the night, my urges and my laziness always wins in the end. I know the root cause of my problem; my will is not strong enough to accept the pain or the disappointment. This is because of my Pessimistic approach to life. Come to think of it I do not endure the pain thinking that better things will happen to me, because they always do. I am a firm believer that if one door closes another opens up. Guess, am neither a pessimist nor an optimist, am just confused.

Being Lazy or procrastinating is my biggest weakness. I started reading the book “The Monk who sold his Ferrari”, back in 2006. After a couple of pages I closed the book and never had the courage to read it again. The author described in his initial pages about Comfort Zone and I realized that I am the prime audience for this book. No wonder that book was a best – seller as it fits everyone’s life at one point or the other. I am still in a comfort zone, living with my parents at 28 years, Mom to take care of my food, clothes and all I need to do is eat, sleep and work. I am thinking about making my life a little difficult for myself however I am not sure if I’ll have the courage to go through that. Not that my life is a Bed of roses, though I am physically comfortable where I am, mentally am not happy with the way my life is. Being a strong – willed person is not what I am. I was contemplating with my friend over a drink last night and asked him whether I am a push-over or someone who can be easily influenced by others. Do I have individualistic thoughts and do I live my life as per my wishes. Lots of people have given advises on how I should do things or what I should do, end of the day I have taken all my decisions on my own and have never dependant on anyone else to decide for me. Again, am just confused about this as well.

Know Thyself is a phrase that I try to understand. I have rambled on for 2 pages about what I am, I know my weakness’s or my areas of improvement. Have I ever really tried to improve, NO. I know if I need to change things about my life then I’ll have to live with it for the rest of my life and I am afraid that what if those things don’t work out as well. Fear of the unknown. There are lots of questions I ponder upon that end up disturbing my peace of mind. Eventually I’ll have to decide on what I really want and what I am willing to sacrifice for achieving those. As they say failure is the stepping stone for success, now that I have acknowledged my fears, it’s time for me to face my fears and see if anything worthwhile comes out off it.

This started out as a time pass post, as am in Bangalore on a Sunday and my friend is still sleeping off yesterday’s alcohol. Am Dandy as a daisy now and it’s time for me to wake him up and get the party started. Hopefully I do have the patience to blog more. Time will tell.

A Horrifying Experience.....

I never thought I'll go through such a horrifying experience in my life. Yesterday morning was one of the most forgetful days in my life. Though it was a horrendous, horrifying, horrible, hair raising and all the words starting with H signifying terrifying experiences. I pray to God that none will be subjected to this kind off experience in their lifetime. After close to 5 months, only this incident has egged me to write a post here. Think what kind off an experience this should have been. To wake me from my Blogging slumber and share this experience with all my readers. Probably not more than 3 people will read this, still this is a fair warning for the future generations who inadvertently might stumble on my blog :). One thing that's good from a blogging perspective is that you can learn a lot of things, personal experiences, career guidance, way of life, etc. And this will remain open for the entire world till time infinite or at least till Google is around. As always, let ...

Nothing is what it seems

Been quite sometime since I blogged. Wanted to goto the Blogcamp's Unconference at Tidel Park. Then thought what will I do there, a big question mark...so didn't Wanted to blog something here, but couldn't think of anything so copy pasted my old poem.... Nothing is what it seems I thought I couldn't fly But one day I tried And I really flew I thought I couldn't go the last mile, But I took one step at a time, Before I knew it I was there. I thought I was lonely, But when I looked around, I was not so alone (as I thought) . I thought I was sad, But when I looked inside, I was the happiest person alive. I thought I was bad, But when I looked at the world, I was as good as they can get. I thought I knew everything, But when I was questioned, I knew only about the mole and nothing about the mountain. I thought I knew you But when you left me, I realized that “nothing is what it seems'. I thought life was not fair, But when I looked at mine (life) , I knew that m...

The Prestige Starring: Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Christian Bale (Batman) and Michael Caine. Disclaimer: Spoiler may be included in this review. Read on only if, you don’t mind getting a hint to the ending. When I saw the trailer of this movie, I understood what the plot was. And when I saw who the actors were, I realized this is a movie of Batman Versus Wolverine, because both the lead actors have played those parts and are well known for them as well (at least to me). Christopher Nolan the guy who directed Batman Begins is at the helm of this movie. Guess, that’s the reason for Bale to be cast in this movie. Not that I don’t like Bale, I thoroughly enjoyed watching him play the part of The Dark Knight in Batman Begins. Everything takes place somewhere around the 1800’s. The movie starts off with Hugh Jackman being drowned and Bale being accused for his death. It made me wonder how in hell does the lead get killed in the first frame. Then I realized that like some movies, the events ha...
