Live life in pieces

Its been a while someone asked me to write few sentences about it.
I completely forgot about it.
Well, at first the topic sounded a little funny to me.
What does it mean???
There you go... I got some thoughts about it now.
Let me jot them down here...

Most of the time we set higher goals in life thriving to achieve them by hard/smart work everyday.
We sacrifice our smallest wishes in doing so.
WAIT...I think I am going a bit too fast.
Let me cut down it here by explaining what does the title mean.. it means enjoy the small small things in life... live fully the present moment... getting satisfaction and not worrying like whats gonna happen the next moment.... or split the bigger goal into small goals by having a lesser time frame and achieving them.
I guess now its clear what i am gonna say here. Right now I am hearing one of the most beautiful songs by A R Rahman from the movie "Amrutha" in his voice.
There is some soothing effect in his voice.... coming back...

Having small goals and making them realize is important... at the same time its important to live life... spending time with family... taking part in their happiness and adding to their happiness... that gives immense pleasure to ones heart.
One should have professional as well as personal development goals in life. extracurricular activities also should be planned for our life....like doing some social service... being useful to the society...
Our emotions also play a major role in our life... anger,frustration, disappointment, grudge... the moment these emotions are with us... we are losing some precious moments which cannot be earned back at any COST. Time lost is lost. I read somewhere that our IQ levels goes down by having bad feelings. One of the good example for that is anger. Our brain overwrites our negative thoughts in the logical area by releasing some enzyme or juice. I dont know the name of it. Search google and get results for that!!! :D
Whenever I get angry on someone, I try to think of the memorable moments spent with them. My smile automatically returns on my face.

Take a break usually for every 3-4 months. Spend time with friends by having get-together. Make a list of all people whose birthdays, anniversaries are present in the coming months. Plan to wish them. There are some minute details in nature which makes us happy.
Like watching sunset one beautiful evening with someone loving around.
At the end of the day or week or month or year... if you turn around, look back and count on sad days, there should be very few days.

To live life in pieces.. you need to live longer.
Well if you want to live longer physical fitness is also required. Atleast do some walking or help out family on some household works :D

Enter the ear - housefly

Yesterday night I was dreaming about a house fly.
house fly!!!! what the!!! I said it to myself at one point of time.
It so happened in my dream that a house fly has entered my ear.
Dont ask me why and all those questions!!!!
coz i dont remember :(
so...
It was not able to come out and the sound it was making was equivalent to a jet plane.
I mean I could hear in that way.
The next moment I was up on my bed holding my ear and checking if its real or dream!!!!

Now these type of incidents happened with me many times. Sometimes I woke up suddenly with shock and pain. Maybe its time to read "Interpretation of Dreams by Freud" and find out what I am scared of!!!!

Well... the whole point is... why A House fly?? Why not Shah rukh khan or Clooney or Wentworth miller???
Then I remembered that there is this one housefly near my cubicle who disturbs me while coding and reading.
It always roams between three cubicles of Veena,me and Maliha. I got really angry and threw a book at it. Thats the reason it must have got angry and got into my dreams.
FLY in my dreams!!! what a phrase...
hmm... thats the end of it. Tmrw i will get that book and find out whats wrong with my thoughts and dreams!!!

Are Indian CEOs smarter than American CEOs??

Are Indian CEOs smarter than American CEOs??
This is one interesting topic which I found in The Economic Times newspaper.
The link is http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Are-Indian-CEOs-smarter-than-American-CEOs/articleshow/4731350.cms

I was discussing about the same thing to one of my colleague. Apart from the factors mentioned in the article, she was referring to something called the "humane factor".
I guess Indians have swallowed an extra ounce of humanity during birth.
They don't mercilessly remove people even if their companies are running in losses.
Examples of such companies are TCS,Sasken and Wipro who are still thriving to keep jobs of their employees even though they are in losses. Where as the same thing is not by the Americans or any other. If you are to go... you have to go... thats it!!!

Hmm... so thats the thing. But coming to values and integrity, Americans are the best. Their policies are well defined and go by them. One such company was my previous employer.
Anywayz I just wanted to say that.

The other day my brother was saying that there are Indians everywhere. You go to any part of the world you will find couple of indian families staying there. I guess Indians are making their mark. But to prove themselves as a better country and better citizens they have to forgo some qualities like red-tapism. I will cover about this sometime later as a separate post.

I guess rain god has listened to my little prayer. Its drizzling in hyderabad.
Thank you god!!

old is gold

Old is gold!!! yes a very old adage.
today i thought about it somehow. How were the old indian ads??
were they so flamboyant as they are now?
I dont think so... they were pretty much suiting for that time period.
Time period?? ohh... i am talking about the time period from 1987-1999.

I searched internet and got some memorable pictures.
Hope you all can relate it to it.


Yes. This is our BATA. When I was in second class, I was having those sandals in the picture. They were brown in color. I still remember them :(

BOROLINE was the only good cream available for chapped lips.
My dad used to get one tube in winter for sure. This tube is available even now.
Now there are many versions of it like boro plus etc. Many cold creams are available in market now-a-days. Its difficult to chose though :P

These were the color pencils I used when I was young. I used to keep them very safe and made sure not to waste them at all. Camel box was so famous at that time. My dad got me one only when I was in 8th class when geometry was there in my maths syllabus :)

NATARAJ pencil... the most common name in the mouth of very student. I still remember the advertisement of this. The ball goes out of the stadium when he hits with his bat :D

Goldspot... the best drink available at the time.
