What do I name this post?!

It's been one and half months since I've done anything useful in office. Since early December my routine has changed a lot. I come at sharp 10 to office (its compulsory for us to be in office by 10), and spend time till 10.45 in the cafeteria. Till 12.30 it will be gmail, orkut, chatting, songs, youtube and what not. Time for lunch! Come back at 2.00 and then repeat the same with a cafeteria break of 1 hour in between; and leave for home whenever I feel like leaving after 6. I tell you with all the experience, its really difficult to be without work. At times I feel that being overloaded with work is quite better...

For quite somedays in between I had a break from this schedule as I was asked to participate in the inter division Fashion show competition (or fancy dress competition with a theme :P) conducted by our office people for the annual day celebrations. All in all it was fun.


Also I've been to Pune and had a blast with all my dear friends over there. I also got a chance over there to unleash my archery skills. Who knows, may be I'm Mr. Paartha in my previous life :P

Know wat, these days I'm in search of good places around Bangalore so that we can go biking in the weekends. I found a blog on one Devarayanadurga. The place looks awesome. Hope to go there very soon.


This weekend we are going to Nandi Hills, nearest peaks to Bangaloreans famous as summer resort of Tippu Sulthan. Shall update more about these places, with photographs, after I visit them.

And yesterday night I saw the fire department and the police people together recovering the body of a person who committed suicide by hanging himself. That poor guy jumped from the top of the K. R. Puram suspension bridge with a noose around his neck. Whatever be the reasons for which he has committed suicide, may his sole rest in peace and may all his problems be solved so that his family members can live in peace.

Boredom

I want to be a part of laughter and excited chatter; I want to let it wash me, bringing calmness as I catch my breathe and settle in. But I'm all alone.

I want to rest in a sandy beach leaning against a palm tree; I want to tumble into sleep listening to the lullaby of waves against the beach. Phew, I'm in Bangalore.

But this is it. For now, I'll just remember the good times. And for now I'll listen to some music, close my eyes and wait for the middle of the day to pass.

Trust

The five lettered word 'TRUST' though looks so simple, has got great meaning and strength with it. Its an emotion where we allow others to know our vulnerabilities believing they won't take advantage. Its difficult to imagine life without trust. Right from the moment we set our foot on this earth to the moment we sleep in our graves we find trust showing its prominence. Trusting our mother, father, brother and sister is a different thing; we share blood relation with them. Its only a friend who enters our life as a stranger, becomes an acquaintance and wins our trust.

"Friendship is not friendship without trust, without it I walk alone."
- James P. Michels Jr.

Friendship is not something which happens in a second; we don't take a person for granted as a friend when we meet him or her for the first time. It's something like Stop and Wait data communication method. In this Stop n Wait method, we send a message and wait for the acknowledgment before sending the next message. So do we share some information with that person, who is just an acquaintance, and righteous response is what we expect as acknowledgment. Trust builds up in this process and the person takes promotion from acquaintance to friend to best friend.

The Doog and the Dab

In every part of our life, when we think or act or in whatever we do, we are always accompanied by two different super-beings, whose presence we feel though we may not see. They peep into your head and try to manipulate what you think and what you do, but finally leave you the chance to choose. They are the Doog and the Dab.

People tend to ignore Dab mistaking it for the Bad. They fail to recognize that Dab is not Bad but the reverse of Bad which is the Good. And in a similar way end up falling into the trap set by seemingly Good who is also sounding similar to Good, the Doog, but fail to recognize that the Doog is actually not Good but the opposite of Good which is the Bad. It is always left to us to know what is Good and what is Bad from all the choices we have in every part of life. Presenting to you, the Doog and the Dab...
