Dear God..

Dear God,
On the special occasion of Father's day, I'd like to thank you for giving me a very special Dad to whom I look upon. He is the one.. who gave everything I wanted, who inspired me everytime, who fulfilled every dream of mine, who knew me better than myself, who found happiness in keeping me happy, who felt proud of me for every little thing I achieved, who enjoyed my success. Whatever I'm today, is all only because of him. I've learnt the best things in life at home, from my Mom n Dad. I feel blessed to have such great and lovely parents. Thank You for giving me the best Mom and Dad.

Me.. :)

The place to be..

Mysore is a cool and simple place to live in. But the Infosys campus located at Mysore is a complete different place where we find people from every part of India (and sometimes from abroad too). Despite the differences in their cultural backgrounds, attitude, language and behavior, they have some things in common. Some of them are:
1. Displaying ID cards
2. Walking only on pavements
3. Throwing any kind of waste only in the dustbins
(These rules were told to us even when we were kids, but we never followed them back then!)
4. Following set of principles called C-LIFE in short
(This reminds me of the long Q's in which we had to wait for a long time)


5. Writing too many exams
(The words commonly heard from the trainees are perception, handson, compre, cgpa, exam, etc.)
6. Complaining about the food in the food courts
(This is done almost everyday)
7. Last but not the least, we all work (or study!!!) @ Infy.
Apart from the regular training, we get to learn a lot here by observing things happen and mingling with people. Everyday we experience something new. Hence, it is the place to be.

Relativity

Before I start with it, let me assure this.. I'm not going to write about Einstein's theory of relativity. This is only about the relativity that we observe in our day-to-day life.

Success-Failure, Good-Bad, Happy-Sad, Fortune-Misfortune, Poor-Rich, etc are the names which we give to different situations. All these words are relative. One's Success/Failure depends on the way he/she defines it. To a school going kid, passing all the exams is a success.. but if his aim was to score the highest mark and if he hasn't achieved it, then the same success turns out to be a failure. Somebody finds happiness in saving all money and becoming rich but to somebody else, helping the poor n needy and see them grow in every walk of life gives happiness. The same happiness varies in form n quantity with different people. Similarly, Rs. 100/- can buy nothing for a millionaire but it buys a lot for a poor one who has been dying of hunger. All the above examples convey the same message.. its all "relativity".

In our daily routine, the opinions we form of things, persons n events are all relative to the impressions that are set in our mind due to our past experiences. So, what we see (read as perceive) tomorrow depends on what we see (read as perceive) today.

I run out of words..

I run out of words when I see my friends crying.. I can shed silent tears with them but I can't console or convince them by uttering a few words.

I run out of words when I'm mad at someone.. I can shout at them or give a serious look but I can't tell them the cause of my anger in a polite way.


I run out of words when I'm confused.. I can put a strange expression on my face but I can't explain the state of my mind.

I run out of words when I experience immense pain.. I can cry out loud but I can't stay quiet waiting for the pain to soothe.

I run out of words when I run out of words.. I can try hard to find some words but I can't speak out.

Lonely... I'm so lonely..

Today I met a long and lost friend of mine,

Whom I never wanted to meet, but really cant fight my fate,

I had to meet him; it was all written and decided.

All sad from within, but I greeted him with a smile,

but haunted by his presence, I gave up and began to cry.

Finally I decided to face the fact,

That I have to meet him many many more times till the day I die...as...

He is the one who will be with me when no one is around.
He is the one who knows that with him I will never laugh but cry,
He is the one who knows that I never liked him and nor I would, but he will be for me any time... anywhere,

I have been with him many times but every time I make a new friend,

I thought i will never see him again, how happy but how wrong I was,

For me he is again in my life, sitting right in front of me and making me stop crying....

Well!!! He calls me his best buddy
and I call him.... My Loneliness.....
