At last i am here..

At last , i am here in the blogging world. I really wonder how many times i would have thought of starting my blog, but didn’t really start one. Should i call it as laziness or was it something else?

I think it was both laziness as well as other reasons. The most important one being Orkut. In college when i had time to start my blog, i used to be very busy on Orkut. Such was the addiction to Orkut that sometimes i even asked the time to head for the mess on Orkut!!

After college, in spite of my Company giving access to all sites, i could not make a good use of it. I was unlucky to be on bench for only 10 days, which i spent relaxing my mind from all the heavy ABAP stuff i had learned in training. Once i was in put into project,i hardly got any time to write anything. During our initial days at Srinivasa Residency, we didn’t even have an internet connection , so there was no question of writing on weekends.

Ceremoniously, i had declared 2007 as ‘The Year’ in January,2007. And yes it turned out to be ‘The Year’, not of the success that i had dreamt of , but of failures. And all through the so called year, i didn’t get time to do much. Writing a blog seemed a distant dream.

However, today i have taken a small break from my successes (really don’t remember if i had one) and failure of the previous year. I just want to spend some time on the net and write about things in general and also about things close to my heart.

Anand Ashram- Joy and Happiness

Image
Continuing from my previous post on Anand Ashram, with each passing day the event was coming closer and the excitement meter was soaring. We discussed on the plans on how to go about it, working on the finer details like the events, the prizes, the co-ordination, the gifts and schedule. Well, it was decided that we would start the event with a prayer song, piano by Subashini, song and dance by our group, followed by talent show by our elders, followed by song and dance performances by the kids from Anand Ashram, and if still time remained by some more things. On Thursday, i and Shyam had tried to sing our songs, but my song didn't turn out very well (i had caught cough and cold). So, i decided to drop my solo performance and go for a group song, we narrowed down on 'Papa kehte hain' from QSQT. Subhashini narrowed down on her songs and practiced it at home. Subashini came up with the idea of two games, Bindi and Pictinary. On Thursday evening i sat with Subashini and finaliz...

The Sickle and the Prey..

Image
Finally the 'Prey' is happy and relaxed. The 'Sickle' which had immobilized it all these many years is no more, and the fear of the 'Red' and the 'Monkeys' is finally over. I really wonder what the 'Prey' would have felt all these years, living under the constant threat of its head being chopped-off by the 'Sickle'. To me the arrangement always looked like the 'Butcher' holding his 'Prey' waiting for the right moment to kill. But the helpless prey couldn't even run or complain, as its 'Lady' had sold out to the 'Butcher' and it had to just bear with it, day and night, all these years. However, i think that the 'Prey' had a lucky escape, and the fact that the 'Lady' had finally woken up really inspired the 'Prey' to free itself from the clutches of the dangerous 'Butcher' with a 'Sickle' in one hand and 'Grain' in the other. The 'Prey' should now a...

Is poverty a necessary evil?

Image
I grew up reading, watching and feeling poverty all around. It is not a rarity if you are in a city or town in India. The towns and cities of India are teeming with millions of poor people. Beggars asking for alms, old and helpless begging on the roads all these are a very common sight in any city or town in India. While people in villages might not have to beg but there is a different form of poverty there. Millions in the Indian villages live a life full of hardships, toil, misery and disease. Even my initial years were not very plentiful, though there was enough and my parents ensured that my brother and I had all our basic necessities covered. But I did get a close look at what poverty means and how the poor in this country live while I was growing up in Ranchi . It was a constant reminder for me to take the opportunities that life gave me and be thankful because there are others who did not get as lucky as I got. When I look back at times and compare myself with some of my...
