Vrrooooooooom...!

Let me start by accepting that by nature I am quite an impatient guy. If I have an idea or a notion, I want it to be completed tomorrow no matter what. And when life smiles back to me with the unexpected - I have no choice other than to sit back in dismay. I am sure you would've already made an impression about me or abt the post that follows. Thats 'coz thats the way human mind is hardwired to make quick associations with the available audio visual available in one's close proximity. Interesting - isn't it? ;)

Anyways, now that the summer season is on - there's so much my wandering mind wants to indulge itself into. Hope some one helps me narrow down the list ;) Well, may be get involved in some Volunteer work or explore American flora or write for IMZ or read posts like this and get amazed.

For now, have a look at Google Summer Of Code Entries - these folks are indeed inspiring young techies to participate in Open Source Web Development. Providing passionate young minds with a platform to pursue their dreams would certainly make the world a better place to live in.

Good Things Take Time

Stream Of Thoughts...!

While trying to captivate the stream of my ever wandering thoughts today, it occured to me that we probably remember things as pictorial representations than words. Our lives can be compared to an ongoing movie script over which we have complete creative control. Within us lies the power to examine what works or isn't working in our lives and make "edits" to our life's script, accordingly. Sounds simple - ain't it? ;)

Granted, editing our real life isn't always as easy as erasing a line of text. If we've carried emotional baggage or held on to an unconducive relationship for a long time, these may be difficult to edit out. But when we do cut out what isn't working from our lives, we'll feel lighter & more alive. Editing out activities that we find stressful, disassociating ourselves from people that drain your energy, and letting go of your emotional baggage are all beneficial cuts we can make - all by ourselves. Many times, when we try to be perfectionists - we overexert ourselves & in case we learn that things we wish to improve are simply not under our control - we feel even worse !! Then we think - should we actually take life that seriously?

Probably not - since good 'ol childhood days, we have been conditioned to believe in truth and pursue our paths to excellence / perfection. How can one unlearn this? Anyways for now let me

make the commitment to remove these disturbing & non-value adding Add-Ons from this adventurous game called life.

And yes, wish you all a very Happy & Eventful Independence Day !!!!

Changing One's Perspective...!

My parents always say that 'Enthusiasm can't be faked". For something to be exciting & to become viral or sought out by others - it has to be of visible value & should have a mass appeal - thats what I think atleast :) Recently, I attended birthday party of one of my very good friend and beieve me my silent observation of guests was a true eye opener for me. If you keep a close watch, you can't ignore the true positive energy warehouses (people). Btw...I feel lucky whenever such people are in my close proximity most of the times !! Coming back to enthusiasm, I was thinking while dining today - watching a movie / hanging meeting friends / visiting NYC / exploring new places - kinda energizes me a lot or should I say make me happy. Then why do I feel bad after spending a busy day in office...hmmm something to ponder for sure. Guess its time to change perspective indeed. There are certainly many other activities that I would wanna do; could be small ones but certainly the ones that make a positive 'n' visible impact on my ever thoughtful psyche. Anyways being a weekend - I am sure I'll get plenty of time to do things I really want to spend time for 'n' ofcourse push in more Blog Posts :) 

And yes for those readers who think that there's paucity of time in this world - the following video is a must c - N'joy !!

World of Words...!

Etymology has interested me since high-school days. Besides the fact that we were always asked to enrich our Vocabulary for those "big" exams that grill your English-Quotient, understanding meaning of the words made learning quite easy. Now, here's a thing while going for walk today evening at Greens it struck to me ... isn't it that we remember things by pictures. Think about that first "A" grade you received, the first marriage you attended, the best movie you saw and of course your first date. In extension to this, the moment we meet an acquaintance - our subconscious mind quickly runs a trailer of events that happened when last time this person was around us. Sounds familiar..ain't it? ;) Perhaps this explains the reason why we feel more comfortable with our "chosen" bunch of pals against the crowd !!

Anyways coming back to "words", they carry energy and gives language a power. After being thru' some tough conversations recently, I have started believing that spoken words perhaps make more lasting impressions than illustrations alone. Lets put it in this way - It may have been the first time we received a truly accurate compliment, or the time a friend or sibling called us a name, but either way it stuck. This experience reminds us that what we say has weight and power and that being conscious means being aware of how we use words. I have started believing that words are not abstract, disconnected entities used only to convey meaning; they are powerful transmitters of feeling. I have also noticed how the different communication styles of the people in my life makes me feel.

For the next few days, you might want to practice noticing how the words you say and hear affect your body and your emotional state. (I bet you would like it - I tried the experiment last week and believe me it worked wonders !!)

Hmmm, seems when we carefully listen to others before we speak, our words have more integrity, & when we take time to center ourselves before speaking, we truly begin to harness the power of speech. Ahha, what a revelation Chinmay - I said to myself....!
