An echo by definition means reflection of sound. What goes unnoticed in the definition is the the adequate distance that separates the source and the obstruction. Because the certainty of the echo depends on single large factor, which is the "Setup".<br /><br />Setup.exe here refers to the executable part of our lives that shall control the two physical dimensions: Distance and Time (M</span><span style="font-size:85%;">0L</span><span style="font-size:85%;">1T</span><span style="font-size:85%;">1) and give us Speed or Godspeed. Dimensionally Speed and Philosophically Godspeed!!!<br /><br />Before we get further into the post. I have a few thoughts running in my head, that may be remotely relevant to the "Echo-Philosophy".<br /><br />Argument One:<br />"The only language of communication between the Creator and the User is the Creation"<br />Give a switch to 10 year old and he will fiddle with it, Give a wheel to him and he will learn to roll. Instruction manuals are for bad creations. So... if the big words don't matter, a post graduate degree that teaches you to talk-in-style will never count. Or just may be. The words can surely sell a bad design.<br />Bottom Line: You choose to either "talk-in-style" or "create better designs".<br /><br />Argument Two:<br />"Opportunities can be global, but Talent cannot be globalised"<br />I can be the best engineer of the team that makes the best nuts and bolts in the smallest industrial town in the third world. I can also be the best engineer of the country that makes the best motorcylces in the biggest technology sensitive economy of the world. The talent to barely acheive, achieve and overachieve the task is identical. So if I cannot find an opportunity in my backyard, it is certain that I will never find it anywhere else.<br />Bottom Line: You either "travel the world" or simply "explore your backyard".<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >And no-one called us to the land<br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >And no-one knows the wheres or whys</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br />Argument Three:<br />"For a creator, smallest of success is the end of the oldest of the facts"<br />Success defeats my brain every time. The escape route says that 'Assumptions of a Pre-consumed mind' keeps the nerves calm and heels cool. You evade the need to think, act or even react. But every success defeats the assumption. So being successful, is always dangerous.<br />Bottom Line: It is not Victory-Loss, it is "Face-Defeat"-"Give-Up"<br /><br />Argument Four:<br />"Size of the opportunities does not grow bigger than us, but we outgrow them"<br />Opportunities big or small are alike because all of them set tasks, targets and goals. And while taking the long strides of success (defeating the brain) the goal is scored and then it leaves a Void. I call this the "What Next?" state of mind.<br />Bottom Line: The "What Next?" only ends when the whistle blows and time is up. Happy scoring!!!<br /><br />So when does the echo come in, what does the echo do to me.....<br /><br />Effect One:<br />Gives me inspiration<br />When I look back at the reflections from the past I feel confident and know for sure that "If it hits into me, I am sure that I can hit into it and nail it... because the "Hammers of Gods will always drive me home". Hence I am confident to find a few nails in the backyard that need attention.<br /><br />Effect Two:<br />Gives me an instantaneous feedback<br />So while I am in the middle of an instinctive decision, the echo of the inner voice reflecting from the walls within me give me a sense of responsible action with anticipated results. Now I know what the Walls in me are doing. Glad to have them around.<br /><br />Effect Three:<br />Gives me Hope<br />Simple and straight, if I know that all that I say is going to come back to me, I can "Shout it Loud", because I ll do it only once and the world will listen to it more than once. So I am hopeful that my actions will not go unnoticed. I only have to use the right words, actions or reactions.<br /><br />Very strange to my pre-conceived notion that the echo is a hollow repetition of a stray sound wave reflected between random obstacles.<br />Put them all together, the four lettered word makes me Confident, Responsible and (if not anything else) Aware.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >The </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >echo of a distant tide<br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >Comes willowing across the sand<br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >And everything is green and submarine</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br />So why do I have Two Reasons, Three Effects and Four Arguments.<br /><br />I hear sounds around me, but I cant hear my own echo. I am longing to listen to the echoes from my past. So what is it, that I am talking about. It has shades of "the Quarter Life crisis" and more dangerously "A Complete breakdown of Identity". I do not have to explain what they mean.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >Strangers passing in the street</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >By chance two separate glances meet</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >And I am you and what I see is me</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;">But I sure am preparing the Setup with laying up of the bricks.

And I begin to wonder, why the hell did I end up in a room from where I can only see the escape stairs. Taking a risk of viewing this as a metaphor, was this move in my life in a greater sense an escape route??<br />Lately, assignments, job application forms and BBC documentaries have activated some long lost grey cells which were probably on the verge of extinction. And the only answer my mind figures out to every question asked is "What do you want from me". As always, a song by Floyd sums it up more beautifully than I can ever do.<br /><br />"What Do You Want from Me"<br />As you look around this room tonight<br />Settle in your seat and dim the lights<br />Do you want my blood, do you want my tears<br />What do you want<br />What do you want from me<br />Should I sing until I can't sing any more<br />Play these strings until my fingers are raw<br />You're so hard to please<br />What do you want from me<br /><br />Do you think that I know something you don't know<br />What do you want from me<br />If I don't promise you the answers would you go<br />What do you want from me<br />Should I stand out in the rain<br />Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you<br />I'm not the one you need<br />What do you want from me<br />(David Gilmour/Richard Wright/Polly Samson)<br /><br />That's it guys, this blog is alive again, not for the sake of being on the internet, but just for 'being'...<br />DeepakAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03571415552984338868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519536343724925595.post-77970552981263449882010-01-10T05:02:00.003+05:302010-01-10T05:38:46.643+05:305 to 1<div style="text-align: justify;">Listening to a lot of Doors these days...

However, this <span style="font-style: italic;">honest</span> influence is very ironically <span style="font-style: italic;">deceptive</span> and fades in no time. The title of this post is the best example of what I am trying to disseminate. These are <span style="font-style: italic;">powerful </span>words picked from Iron Maiden’s popular song <span style="font-style: italic;">“Hallowed be thy Name”</span>. Coz each day there will be moments when you feel that your life is not more than just an illusion of your own mind.<br /><br />For elaboration – Most days of my life, I try to live with a reason. A reason conceived and perceived by my own imagination. The reason recorded clearly in my brain cells. I work towards it and then begin to observe triumph. And once the reason to live is justified to me – the question that haunts is <span style="font-style: italic;">“Is this all that I wanted to do?”</span> Whenever these words hit my mind's eye, it illuminates the fact that our live is, just for the record, an illusion of our own mind.<br /><br />When I fell in love with Mechanical engineering I wanted to sit in a design studio and make better machines. Which is very much what I m doing today or rather expected to do. Probably I wish to do even bigger things in life, which I am sure I’ll do. But what troubles me is that once I get to do that thing the question will remain the same <span style="font-style: italic;">“Is this all that I really wanted to do?”<br /><br /></span>Can’t really believe that I waited for 23 long years to live the life I’m living right now. This is the time I differ with myself – Is this what I wanted from life? It’s often said that you don’t always get what you need but what you deserve. Well that’s not quite true. Because <span style="font-style: italic;">you’ll always get what you always want, provided you want it really badly</span>. But once you get it – you ll want some more and then some more and still some more.<br /><br />For example, you set out to design a part which best suits the purpose. Then slog your ass out to make it work. Then you gauge the performance and record it for justification. However the gauging of performance is merely the interpretation of your own understanding. Meaning <span style="font-style: italic;">you end up convincing yourself that you are convinced</span>. Eventually nothing exists in result – all you know and see is just an ILLUSION of your own mind.<br /><br />And today when I sit down to complete this post, I am blank. I have very little to write. The reason for the same is certainly not known to me. But what I speculate is that I m <span style="font-style: italic;">genuinely </span>confused. As I begin to look a few years back I see a time when I knew exactly what I wanted to do and the rest of planet earth of my age was still trying to find their preferred way of success. Today the tables have spun round a complete 180 degrees..It’s the time of my life when I actually don’t know what I should be doing next. <span style="font-style: italic;">The illusion has disappeared. The confusion has taken over.</span><br /><br />And then I face the irony of life each day. Each day I go to office with a motive to make a difference to this place. Very often I sit down to list the things I wish to do, and each time I know that I have very little time. And on top of it all, <span style="font-style: italic;">I try a million times and fail a billion times.</span><br /><br />Coming back to the reality, I think I am standing in midst of a <span style="font-style: italic;">youthful confused state of mind</span>. The youthful enthusiasm to do whatever comes my way. The confused me who doesn’t know what to do at times. And then the state of mind that smacks me down to achieve that seems to be a <span style="font-style: italic;">distant dream</span>.<br /><br />Am I getting used to success or am I not getting any success at all? Have I showed myself the wrong way? Have I started to doubt my decisions or rather my choice?<br /><br />And then Led Zeppelin had to happen. Run thru the following lines to learn more.

But as they say, to each his own.<br /><br />Mumbai has always been a part of life for me. In fact it has been an intrinsic part of my character.<br />Terrosrist attacks and bomb blasts have rocked this city to the core many a times, and people celebrate the spirit of this city only when innocent people living here die. The one’s who are the luckier of the lot, celebrate their survival. What an irony this city portrays.<br /><br />I always remember one sentence said about this city by the great singer Kailash kher. He said in one of his interviews on being asked how do you feel being so successful after all the struggling years you have seen in this city. He answered, all that I can say is I still ask for a glass of water when being thirsty, but the same people who refused water once offer me wine now.<br />I think this is something I found the most apt to sum up the irony of this city. Or for that matter of any fascinating city in the world. I can relate myself more to Mumbai though.<br /><br />I recently saw the movie Slumdog Millionaire and it was an experience in itself. Never have I felt living through Mumbai all over again watching a movie. This one really did it.The slums and the kids u see whn u are flying off the airport, relived without the flight. And there really cant be a better irony than a hollywood director doing the magic. In the land of the multi million bollywood ‘stars’ Danny boyle can show what Mumbai is, while Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor, the king’s and queens of bollywood are busy shaking their asses to crappy songs.<br /><br />There is something really magical about this city. I have been to many cities in the past year or so, but this city is just unmatched in its energy. That’s what makes it stand out. Believe me what u do in rajkot in 2 days, u can easily finish in mumbai in half. Be it work or fun or nightmares or hangouts or shopping.<br />I still remember the first time I flew out of mumbai, seeing it for the first time in its totality, from the outside gripped me in a strange way. I was awestruck like a man who was born and brought up in a Ferrari F40 and was allowed to step out of the car only when he was 23, to see its styling.<br /><br />Everytime I fly out of this city its like resetting my internal clock to a frequency of 2 seconds as compared to being set on a clock cycle of 0.5 sec.Nothing is more nerve racking than a fast day in mumbai, no machine coding and deadlines can be as strenous. And when u land in mumbai, first the beauty of it is the view, I just love it. I am still not able to figure out why, but I have never seen such an awesome view ever.Just the sight of it makes u feel alive, like a dope which assures that u are back to where u belong. No matter how many strenuous hours and days lie ahead, its what makes me feel alive again. Just the sight of MUMBAI.<br /><br />Rajkot<br />23rd Jan 2009<br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03571415552984338868noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519536343724925595.post-82207735563105634662009-02-14T18:41:00.003+05:302009-02-14T19:05:54.470+05:30The Blog is on Stand ByJust a reminder!!<br /><br />We are all alive!!!<br /><br /> -Deepak (Touring), Junaid (Alibagh), Rohan (Mumbai) and Sunny (Pune)Sunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14116398777508779288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519536343724925595.post-41816399609548254942008-05-21T02:14:00.006+05:302008-05-28T17:23:53.433+05:30Going west!!!This was first written when Kedar was packing-up to leave for Uncle Sam's land (its been a lil worked upon since then).

Seems like all of us are too busy to come back to this place which kept us occupied all thru the days when there was nthng to do. All those days the thoughts kept pouring, in fact overflowing sometimes.<br /><br />I was just going thru my own blog after like a month or so and I was surprised what we used to think just some months ago. It seems like I am talking to myself as I was some time back. And believe me it’s a really intriguing experience to see someone so similar.<br /><br />A lot has changed in the past months. Junaid starting his job, me shuttling here and there as a part of my job, Sunny bought a pulsar 200 and Rohan moving to kandivli.<br /><br />And as a part of this change here I am sitting in my hotel room in Trivandrum looking for ways to kill time after a busy day at work. Although I am dead tired I cant sleep so early, its just 10 pm and I am Deepak..not good for my image to sleep so early…<br /><br />So as destiny, hard work or luck whatever u mite consider has brought me to Trivandrum working at a printing press, I am hoping with crossed fingers that this thing goes well. I hope this wud be a good learning experience, academically I know it will be and it is. But what I am enjoying is all the different places I get to go to. All the different people I get to meet. Be it the client who is not expected to be good at all, surprisingly here the client is good( so far so good) or the locals of this place. People understand hindi but can rarely speak it, English saves the day most of the times, seems like u r not in ur own country, but then I look around and I see all the old vintage KSRTC buses and ‘small’ cars, brings me back to reality…..<br /><br />Since this is kerala, all I have seen here is coconut trees, bananas to eat, and men wearing lungis. It’s a part of the uniform at some places, I mean it. Peoples knowledge here about different cuisines is so limited that Chinese means noodles, north Indian food means anything made out of paneer and anything else I haven’t dared to try yet. Roti here is a very decent substitute for rubber and I am starving to have a soft roti here. I have been on rice for the past whole week.<br /><br />This weekend we had the opportunity to take a half day on Sunday, yes ppl, half day on a Sunday is luxury here. So we asked the local people working at the press to guide us as to how shud we spend the day. And of crse the answer was go to a near by beach. I have heard that Kovallam( pronounced Kovaddam) is a beautiful beach and so I was keen to go there. But I was told that there is some rally going on at that place and wudnt be a good idea to go there coz of the traffic. So we went to a far away beach named varkala to see the nayked ladies( no spelling mistakes, that’s how they describe this beach, just try to get the pronunciations rite) and the rest of the graphic details I cant share here due to the lack of appropriate gadgets to capture the moments of bliss……..<br /><br />So far this is the story from Trivandrum…..will keep posting as and when I have some time and access to the net…till then…idli dosa rice coconut banana Malayalam newspaper….thats what life is</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03571415552984338868noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519536343724925595.post-64631127912733529542007-11-20T22:55:00.000+05:302007-11-22T23:25:32.733+05:30Money<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Back after a long time...the last one by Sunny gave a glimpse of the transition from the carefree college world to the dog eat dog industrial world.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And heres something I chose to write on....one thing that makes the world go around....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >MONEY</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The first thing that comes to anyones mind is the most common phrase "Money is the root of all evil"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Have we ever really thought about what is the root of all the money that exchanges hands all over the world every single moment???? The obvious answer wud be all the people working all day long to earn money so that we can live a happy life....and to put it more precisely I quote some lines from Atlas Shrugged.</span><br /><br /></div><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">"Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think. Then is money made by the man who invents a motor at the expense of those who did not invent it? Is money made by the intelligent at the expense of the fools? By the able at the expense of the incompetent? By the ambitious at the expense of the lazy? Money is <i>made--</i>before it can be looted or mooched--made by the effort of every honest man, each to the extent of his ability. An honest man is one who knows that he can't consume more than he has produced."</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">All thru the years when I gained enuf sense to form opinions about money and life and other concepts of life, I have never believed money is the root of all evil, on the contrary I started believing that money is definitely THE source of happiness. Of course what gives a man happiness is solely a reflection of his mind, his soul. Although in the last few months I found enuf reasons to think over the issue money being THE source of happiness all over again</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I have always been crunched to spend money all thru my life, another way to put it wud be I never had money to afford luxuries in life. Basic necessities are all that I could always afford. Which again is a relative concept in itself. What is luxury for me wud be a necessity for others. But I wud define necessity as smthng I cant stay happy without(example: Ice cream) and luxury as smthng u can enjoy and feel good about but can live happily without it(example: Vodka). All thru those years when money was not an abundant resource we had, I always thght it will give me all the happiness that I look for in life. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It will give me the ability to do all the things I love. Finally I will see ppl around me happy at least from the money point of view in life. But sadly I was hit by a unprecedented reality check as soon as I started earning. And that was now that u have money which u never had in all the past years, u start saving it rather than spending it. And the Q is why?????. The answer really simple....what if those years come back again....or is it that difficult for us to move ahead and accept change in life????</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And all this just leaves me with a faint smile...definitely taking back my own words....money IS THE source of happiness...I must say it can be...but it is not THE source of content and happiness.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">U can have the best meal in ur life eating at a roadside stall or at a five star restaur. What matters is the experience and the memory. Baskin Robbins back then was not anything great cause I was the only one appreciating good Ice Cream. But now when u have a great company to share it with(I hope u get I am talking abt u) </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">it taste like never before. </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">In our college days we had the best times with not more than 50 bucks in our wallet every day. And today when I have the liberty to carry 500 in my wallet, I dont have my friends to live those great moments again. Of course after reading this I am sure they will come flocking to me this weekend for a party</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">To put the above whole idea in a better(philosophical) way here's Atlas shrugged again</span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >Money will not purchase happiness for the man who has no concept of what he wants: money will not give him a code of values, if he's evaded the knowledge of what to value, and it will not provide him with a purpose, if he's evaded the choice of what to seek. Money will not buy intelligence for the fool, or admiration for the coward, or respect for the incompetent. Money will not give you the unearned, neither in matter nor in spirit.</span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >And if u think this post can end without the Floydian view of money...sorry</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >Pink Floyd - Money</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Money, get away.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Get a good job with good pay and you're okay.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Money, it's a gas.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">New car, caviar, four star daydream,</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Think I'll buy me a football team.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Money, get back.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Money, it's a hit.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.</span><br /></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set </span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And I think I need a Lear jet.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Money, it's a crime.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Money, so they say</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Is the root of all evil today.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 153);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >giving none away.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03571415552984338868noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519536343724925595.post-79583067792735819092007-10-18T21:19:00.000+05:302007-10-18T21:31:29.790+05:30Pink Floyd - Dogs<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">For all the blog frequenters or none at all, for those wondering whether the blog is deceased or breathing, is it with the blog, or simply, the contributors dead? The answer to all of this is just that we are all riding are lives with the clutch pedal on. It’s the time to change gears fractions ahead of the next chicane. It’s the time to continue the engine (here, the hearts that drives men of immense wisdom) churning the revs with very modest or almost no power transmission. Only to keep it all set to pump up enormous muscle at the exit of the chicane. In plain simple words, it’s the point of our lives when we are bumping into the world of competition, technology and service. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p>So what is it that has caught up on us? Most of our time is occupied in recovering from the old concepts shattering blows of information each day at work. The rest of the time is used up in finding ways to spend the compensations after all the beating (This may not include others). I call it the Dog part of our lives. It’s the exact metaphor for human behavior at this juncture of our life.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p>To understand it better just run thru the lyrics of Pink Floyd song from the album Animals. Contrastingly, Roger Waters had composed these lines with a different view point; I looked at it from a different dimension.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Artist: Pink Floyd</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Album: Animals</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Title: Dogs</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style="">“You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style="">You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style="">You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style="">And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style="">You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style=""><br />And after a while, you can work on points for style<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style="">Like the club tie, and the firm handshake<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style="">A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style=""><br />You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style="">You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i style=""><o:p> </o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">This is where it is right now. It couldn’t have got along any better than this. Beginning with DG (he has to start this). DG’s ass has always been the first ass to feel the gush of braking inertia each time. He was the first one to get a job (sadly with MBT though), first one to turn 18 (he did nothing, it just happened to be that way, or well, all of us were born after him) and most significantly the first one to fly abroad (purely on his credentials). Rohan is working with international clients selling the Americans insurance plans, Sunny (the author) is riding on 3D models of bikes and Junior is still burning up few more gallons of fuel on the test tracks for some more time.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The scene on the circuit is beginning to heat up. The start-finish straight of this new lap has faded in the rear view mirror (the induction training, I mean). We are all running down to lower gears to hit the first of the dreadful corners of just another lap of our lives. The analogy remains the same, the rules of the game remains same. The tyres are feeling new and the brakes are beginning to heat up. Time to develop a skill set to negotiate the trickiest of turns. I am allowing the Dog in me to take over. It’s the right time to run down the gears, feel the revs of engine and release the clutch lever once the curve is nudged away. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">And this one is for you Junior; often the winner of the race is the one who hits the brakes last and hits every bit of the turn when the others are just trying to nudge off the apex.

Just the presence of someone u are connected to can make the difference between being comfortably numb or coming back to life.......</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This song is David Gilmour's take on such times.....a song for his wife.....but many say tat maybe this song was written for his friend and band mate Roger Waters after he left the band(tats just before this album was released).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">As always too good lyrics and never will u hear such pure love and longing in any other pink floyd song......all others are mostly outrageous takes on all unwanted thngs happening around us...the kind of rebel feeling to their songs...and yes wish u were here is another song which gives u the same feeling.....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The rest of the talking I guess shud be done by floyd....</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Below are the lyrics and MP3 and </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=RuG_316cPMY">click here</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> to see the song performed by floyd at pulse,most of u wont, i know..:(</span><br /><br /><div style="width: 180px; height: 45px;"><object height="29" width="180"><param name="movie" value="http://www.blogmusik.net/embedded/blogplayer_3.swf?path=u-23159&color1=cccccc&color2=0066ff&color3=0066ff"><embed src="http://www.blogmusik.net/embedded/blogplayer_3.swf?path=u-23159&amp;color1=1111&color2=0066ff&color3=0066ff" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="29" width="180"></embed></object><a href="http://www.blogmusik.net/" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;"><img src="http://www.blogmusik.net/embedded/footer.jpg" alt="free music" title="free music" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" border="0" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Where were you when I was burned and broken</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">While the days slipped by from my window watching</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Because the things you say and the things you do surround me</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Dying to believe in what you heard</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I was staring straight into the shining sun</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Lost in thought and lost in time</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Outside the rain fell dark and slow</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I took a heavenly ride through our silence</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I knew the moment had arrived</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">For killing the past and coming back to life</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I took a heavenly ride through our silence</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I knew the waiting had begun</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And headed straight into the shining sun</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03571415552984338868noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519536343724925595.post-47249961538157785262007-07-25T22:51:00.000+05:302007-08-16T03:31:24.305+05:30Passion rules the Game<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So its me again. coz I am the only one doing nthng as of now. sunny is in pune, living his dream at bajaj auto. Rohan has also strted with his job, looking pretty decent as of now. So tat leaves me and Junaid as we say always bekaar, lukkha and what not.....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Most of these days have been spent by me doing nthng, sitting and just dreaming of big things, lots of money, lots of places to go to, lots of lists already exist in my mind of "to do things"....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Life has been on a roller coaster ride in the past few days. From good news tat I am still being considered for automation department to the news tat I cannot be absorbed into process control. Then came a super shock, when a candid chat in the canteen turned out to b an interview.....what is the freq vs current response of a rlc series circuit.....total bouncer....still managed to crack it.....all because of those basics tat are considered trivial.....anyways...managed to crack it somehow..</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Then came the hardest part....waiting ...waiting...waiting for a reply....mentally preparing myself for the worst news and the good one as well.....was almost drained out of all energy waiting for a reply.....what if they say NO....every assurance I gave to myself and got from friends and mom....had that end....what if NO...being so close still if I dont make it....it will b harder to go to tech mahindra than before....back then there were no options and all thru the final year I somehow prepared myself to go to TM for a year or so....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Finally the news came...drives and motion control dept....was happy...but was kind of prepared for that news...so not surprised.....but mom was very tensed and I saw her crying after a long time when the news came in....the feeling was just awesome...kind of the same when i got the news of getting electronics engg at RAIT....and I knew now the time has come....its upto me now....I make it or break it....and I know I will make it the way I want it to be....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And in the past days I saw a documentary on Mclaren Mercedes F1 team....extensive footages and interviews of Mclaren drivers Alonso and Hamilton and boss Ron Dennis..was so moved by the whole story of Lewis Hamilton....when a 8 year kid goes to a ceo(Ron Dennis) on stage and pulls his pants and tells him..." i have just won the british junior championship....and one day i would like to drive your car"....and what a journey it has been since then for him...he is 22 now and has been racing for the past 13 years....and i am 22 now and driving INDICA occasionally.....well srry, no over ambitious comparisons</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">He and his father saw a dream, one day lewis will drive a F1 car....and they saw it when lewis was 6.....and there has been no black driver in motoracing's 50 years of existence....and they worked towards it...It was a pact....lewis will pursue his dream but not let studies suffer and dad will work two jobs, one for the household and one for his son's dream....to build him go karts....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Ron Dennis gave him his chance when he was 9.....he won, they paid for his studies and racing.....Ron dennis says " when i met him as a child....he spoke more thru his eyes than his mouth....they said it all" ....the most striking line in the whole documentary was when Ron says for Lewis" he is confidence devoid of arrogance".....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">All this comes down to one thing....a tear in lewis's fathers eye when his son was on podium in his first ever F1 race....the dream accomplished....and what a way they did it.....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">As for me, the chase towards the dream begins shortly....standing on a formula 1 podium as a team engineer....but the Q remains...who will be the one shedding a tear??????</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03571415552984338868noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519536343724925595.post-8401609677010192632007-07-06T00:43:00.000+05:302007-08-16T03:30:36.067+05:30A

too bored to write smthng.....just lazing for the past whole month...I was expecting rohan to write smthng here....but he is lazier than me....<br /><br />This post is not abt anythng in particular....so will not match up to the standards of this blog.<br /><br />Lot of thngs going on in the past few days.....<br /><br />Interview with siemens....was a big learning experience..<br /><br />Matheran trip.....very close to the goa trip...was a really cherished experience<br /><br />Daily outings with coll friends.....nerul station hang outs.....probably the last few days of freedom and fun....<br /><br />Few quotes by friends....prasad said on last exam day...." apne liye jeene wale din shayad khatam ho gaye"....will always remember tat coz at tat very moment i was thinking our days have just strted.....prasad again" duniya ek medical store hai aur main aaj dosti ki goli khaa ke aaya hoon"....maan really feel like killing him sometimes...kitna pakata hai yaar<br /><br />So many plans to spend money when i finally strt earning....I find myself making a list of restaurs where I wanna eat....things I wanna buy....parties I wanna give.....gifts I wanna buy for ppl.....and in distant future CARS I wanna buy<br /><br />Sunny finally leaving mumbai....the first among us to strt his job...hope he achieves all tat he wants to...<br /><br />Prasad and Rohan finally got their calls....all of my friends stay in Mumbai....except Nair and Charu.....really sad when I thnk of this...I hope v never find it difficult to find time for each other....<br /><br />Lots of new music in the last few days....mainly Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.....dont feel like listening to anything else other than Floyd these days.....they are like GOD himself teaching u abt different aspects of life....the medium here is music...<br /><br />Just realised a few days ago....so many common members between Pink Floyd and Ayn Rand community on orkut....two different takes on LIFE, but the ideology is the same.....<br /><br />Didnt get chance to have vodka for the past 2 months almost.....waiting.....:(<br /><br />My mom and bro gng crazy abt this Art Of Living Thing....and driving me crazy with their pravachan all day long.....no ways will i ever go to tat place.....the whole idea just feels disgusting to me.....how can <span style="font-weight: bold;">someone else</span> teach u "THE ART" of living <span style="font-weight: bold;">your</span> life...wat have u done all ur life if u dont know how to live it????????? <br /><br />Thinking for the past few days....do we really mean when we say ..."we will be friends forever"...."i am always there for u"....and if we are not sure of whats gng to happen the next day why do we give these false assurances to others and ourselves????<br /><br />Is guilt the only way u can make a person confess to his true self.....Is guilt the only link between u and ur conscience???? Have we stooped down to such a level tat we tlk to our conscience only when we feel guilty about something?????<br /><br />Isn't the desire to take up the hardest challenge and beat it, a confession of weakness in itself????<br /><br />Enuf said.....the saucer is overflowing now....so i better stop!!!<br /><br /><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03571415552984338868noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519536343724925595.post-7251255647280387472007-06-11T23:01:00.001+05:302007-08-16T03:30:36.067+05:30High Hopes - Pink Floyd<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Artist: Pink Floyd; Album: Division Bell; Title: High Hopes: Composer: David Gilmour</span><br /><br />I have always existed with an illusion that beyond the horizon there is a world far superior and evenhanded than the world I currently live in. The world, which does not work on magnets of control bred from fellowmen. Men do not believe in power of miracles but hold high regards for value of labor. Men with immense passion to achieve what they dream. The world of my imagination where men are rewarded only for what they deserve. The inhabitants, who are blessed enough so that they don’t have to depend on an Abstract Extra-ordinary Super Power to live through their lives. A world where emotions are not like shackles that bind men. Instead they stir up motive power to go a step further. Men, who cheat or kill, perish at once. The others that survive the heat of healthy competition live their way with an honesty of purpose.<span style=""> Not very sure whether it is same as Atlantis or is it different?</span><br /></div><div> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Several attempts, successful and unsuccessful, have been made to get a sneak peek in a world of my fascination. The successful ones could only succeed to break open just a small hole through the horizon, just open enough to allow a distinct single ray of light. The unsuccessful attempts were blurred at first and then beyond a certain distance they went no further, only to be blocked by a wall. As DG very rightly stated in his earlier blog entry, the whole scenario looks so similar to masons building the wall around the center of creativity and talent, the bricks being the our well-regarded communal round, the masons are left for us to figure out. Inspiration very naturally came from Pink Floyd – The Wall.</p><div style="text-align: justify;">And then I was moved by a brilliant blend of music and lyrics composed by David Gilmour, popularly known as ‘High Hopes’. The fact that it was the very last song composed by Pink Floyd, it couldn’t have got any better than this magnum opus. The lyrics were instituted during the period when the band had torn apart and law suits worth of a million dollars were trying to bring it further down. </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">It an epitomized by talking about all the insignificant countless small creatures that are trying their very best to confine our feet to a second-rate way of life. And to add to the agony, leaving all of us to a life obsessed with slow decay, signifying end in the most brutal mode. </p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">But very soon, a passion drives a ray of hope in the blood stream of brave men who fear none but loss. And it’s this towering hope that keeps the will going, to achieve what currently appears to be behind the walls of a narrow minded world. It is this hope that shall dwell in men of character. Men that deserve to live in the world of my imagination. For now it may appear like a tough ask, but I have HIGH HOPES.<o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>The desire, ambition and the hunger shall remain forever and ever.</p>Sunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14116398777508779288noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519536343724925595.post-23615247305280245142007-06-02T02:46:00.000+05:302008-12-12T02:09:37.266+05:30PHANTOM of the Opera<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghC4NyM1XkbNTdIiGtlaO7QctyS_gj3woW_w95Zt9h3RSSl7omto7-KSPbqY_cgfldOpnmARCl8GpSd2ubfD5d0Z693VWoXGVTT072-0NuiuCqTFXB6JGcCMPw4js87329roK7YNLqUuVI/s1600-h/Rolls-Royce_Phantom_222156g.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghC4NyM1XkbNTdIiGtlaO7QctyS_gj3woW_w95Zt9h3RSSl7omto7-KSPbqY_cgfldOpnmARCl8GpSd2ubfD5d0Z693VWoXGVTT072-0NuiuCqTFXB6JGcCMPw4js87329roK7YNLqUuVI/s400/Rolls-Royce_Phantom_222156g.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071212358192399906" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">A long time since any activity on this blog…..but it has to be today…..of all the dayss....</span> </div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;">Today I sat in a ROLLS ROYCE PHATOM!!!!!!!.Yes I took a ride in it, probably the most expensive car we cud ever think of(i hope not....i plan to buy a mclaren F1 in the far future)...it was on a promotion spree for the mobile store in our college campus…..God knows what connection is between a 5 crore masterpiece and some crappy mess of similar looking cell phones and utterly confusing talk plans…..</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;">Still who cares….as far as u get a free ride in your own college campus in a Rolls Royce……..oh yes u do feel like a king!!!!!!!!!!!!</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;">So here goes….we were studying in the library(seriously…we were)…and Ashish calls me…..come down fast to RRC…..fast…come fast…Rolls Royce….ride free…free ride…come fast….and I was on my way….we reached there…Ashish and the others waiting with sparkling eyes….chatur updated us on the experience ….he went in the rolls for a ride already….we all were waiting…finally after a lonnnnnng minute we see it coming towards us….first slow…then suddenly accelerating very fast….car stops….some girls and guy come out….we pounce in the car…I was left waiting due to foto sessions…but I got the front seat….we climb in…there are buttons to close doors.

It is a pretty common statement used by people to blame life for all that they haven’t achieved even after working so hard to get it. But is Life really not “fair”?</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">What do we mean when we say “fair”? The <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Oxford</st1:place></st1:City> dictionary gives the meaning of the word ‘fair’ as “just, equitable” (and a whole lot more but irrelevant here). Something that is acceptable to all. But what is the meaning that we tend to understand? What we actually want is to succeed in everything that we do, reach every goal we want and never fail. That is the ‘fairness’ of life we are looking for!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">But I say that “LIFE IS FAIR”!!!! How you ask? Simple…..</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">There may have been times when you have got something you really wanted and you were so happy. Like when you were a little kid and your parents got you that toy that you really wanted. Remember that happy feeling? And what about that sadness when that toy broke within a few days? You may have had similar experiences in your life till with different things. The sadness really gets to you if it is something that you really longed for and finally got it only to lose it again. At such times we get the feeling about life not being fair. But what if our desire would not have been fulfilled in the first place? Obviously we would regret our desire not being fulfilled. But wouldn’t that regret would be LESSER than the pain of losing it AFTER having fulfilled our desire????</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Instead of blaming ‘life’ for not being fair, we should thank it for saving us from going through a greater pain.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">So now tell me………..Isn’t Life Fair?</p>Junaidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02099545964325002988noreply@blogger.com2
