"Money" "Money" & "Money"

MONEY RULEZ!!

No matter how bluntly we say that, "its okay its just money" there are many other things important than money. It’s not all true. Money is always "THE" important thing. No matter how good you are, how generous you are, how selflessly you work for some thing/some one; by the end of it all, if you don’t have money, you are just nothing.

Human relations, emotions, Feeling of oneness/together blah blah blah.... All trash

All are secondary

You are something if you have that one thing, else you are just nothing!!

Its very important one realizes it very soon that the world rotates around money. If you don’t have that you are nothing at all to your dear one too. This might not surface right upfront. But will surely come up one day, one time or the other.

International Women’s Day 2010

Women’s Day; a celebration for being “WOMEN”.

My salute to all those who work relentlessly, selflessly to bring to light the atrocities women face and fight for justice and betterment of women. I’m very glad that situations have been getting better with time. Women today definitely have a reason to smile for being provided an opportunity on par with men in almost all the walks of life. Nevertheless even today we still find women being harassed, tortured for various reasons, they have grown strong comparatively.

Was going through the history of Women’s Day celebrations. Thought it would be a great message to share. CLICK HERE
and another very intresting article written by Kalpana Sharma that I wana share.

Lifez like this

Another fake baba scan unleashed. It feels so ridiculous that how can people be so stupid and how can they believe in someone just like that. Amma Bhagwan; the so called divine couple say they have a vision to transform this world into a more beautiful place by charging high amount of money from the so called dasis. Huh…. News also reveals that the Babas minimum charges are from 5000 bucks and can extend to close to 2 lks if the dasa’s wants to spend 10 minutes in the presense of the so called divine baba. (lol) I wonder how people can believe such junk. People are ready to put in their hard earned money to a baba who says can heel the world but do not want to use a little bit of their brain & look into what kind of baba he is, what are the works he does, what exactly is the matter with him. So sad..

As soon as amma bhagwands scam was unleased, media people got behind all the so called babas. Just 2 days after Amma bhagwans news there was another sex scandal of Nityanand Swami howering all the news channels. The problem here is; when there is some hot news being telecasted in any news channels almost all the other competitive channels also get into the same race either telecasting the same news in a different way or they get behind all the babas who ever existed and keep rolling news about the same.
I have not found anything different in any news channel. None thinks out of the box and rarely solutions are offered. That is the biggest problem. Everybody is so much immersed into analyzing the current situation but very rarely the same interest is applied in unleashing the solutions.

Runn

Runn Review
I’ve been dying to watch a movie for a long time now and watching a movie like “Runn” surely subsided my movie thirst for now. Another nice movie by RamGopal Varma. With Amitabh and Ritesh conveying the quintessential message about media and people who are trying to use it for their own benefit.

It clearly shows the real urgency of media being unbiased and clean. The role it plays in a democratic country like ours is huge. Media has the power and capacity to revolutionize the society by surfacing the truth. Today the quality of information is being compromised for TRP rating or money. This movie has/can to be a wake-up call for Media on the whole. It is the duty of the Media to sensationalize the priority news rather than focusing on irrelevant issues.

It is also equally important for all institutions to promote quality journalism and to encourage before the study slips into the coffins. South India; considered as the knowledge hub of the country should shift its view point to subject areas other than maths and science and understand the importance of journalism/arts/human sciences. Today you find that every second person there is an engineer/doctor here. The mentality of the society has changes to an extent where it is presumed to be an offence if a student picks up subjects other than Maths or science as his/her major. This attitude has to change. And print media has to take up this challenge to bring out the best in other subject areas too.

im lost

Did it ever happen that you feel as if you are in the middle of a big gigantic crossroad where all ways looks the same… empty, scary, confusing and no help around???

Feel like I’m in one such situation. Some time we take few really bold steps in life where we think that good or bad.. lets do it. I wonder how many people would be prepared for the bad in those situations. Never did I give a thought about it coz never did a situation like that arrive before, but now I feel that though I have jumped into a couple of things very boldly and I was never prepared for the bad that could ever happen. Deep down somewhere buried, I knew that things can sometimes go wrong, but not once did I plan for it. Lol, no one really plans for it though.
And now what??? Which path do I take?

All directions seem to be almost the same…. Tough, tedious, full of twists and turns..And also I don’t find a path which might have a near parallel path to it.
Now I realize that I’m lost…

An idea can change everything

Face book with its new farming game is rocking the chart lists. A wonderful idea to keep people online. With the privilege, that each one can get back with their own convenience. The age old concept of trying to take people back to farming and helping them leave the city life is another lovely idea. Each and every aspect that has been designed has been so carefully thought and clearly coded. Zynga which has been the backbone for this game has announced its greater success after the launch of FarmVillie on June 19th 2009. Data shows that it has been adding 1 million new users every week and at any given time there are almost 11 million users who are online.

Now I have nothing more to say than just wowwwwwww…..
I knew this game for a long time. I was not an active visitor on face book before I started playing this game. I heard about farmvilli from every one. Whoso ever I talk, tell me about this application. Suggest that I should give it a try. Initially I thought it’s just a game, and I wondered how people are spending so many hours just for that game. It really surprised me. The most interesting thing that once happened to me was when I saw my friend get up early in the morning at 5’o clock to harvest his strawberry farms. I was surprised. a person who never even bothered to get up so early whatsoever. Got up just to harvest his crop… wofff….

And then I thought I should give it a try. Finally I started Farming and I don’t know how/why/what… I started liking it.

I appreciate all the effort that went into the designing. The credit goes to Mark Skaggs and his team. I admit it has definitely broken every expected rule or social gaming. The idea itself is amazing. Who thinks about taking us back to farming at this time. Definitely no one. And every minute aspect of helping your neighbours. Calculating what you have to harvest to get benefits. Prioritizing what you want in your farm. Everything is awesome…

I'm loving it!!!

My first Crush

January 27th, 2008, i saw him for the very first time. The minute i looked at him
i knew it... i couldn't take my eyes off him, what charisma!!! what grandeur did he carry with him. His very looks, strong body, and his eyes..lovely!! i just got lost in them. I kept looking at him..or rather u can call it i was staring to death. we were about to head on to a long drive.. just two of us in my sweet lil dream

and then suddenly i was awakened..huhh... i was literally being dragged away from him. then i planned for a great escape and got back for one last picture. and here it is

Audi R8 my first crush, a machine i would love to drive some time... lovely isn't he???

This picture is a lil old one, but when i was browsing for the all new 2010 Audi R8, i was even more thrilled. Awesome it is!!! more of audi here. Its outstanding features would include its super performing 5.2 engine with its 525 hp capacity and can reach an acceleration of 0-60 in almost 3.9 seconds... Apart from that it's been carved with its luxurious and sophisticated looks apart from the best interiors.

check out few of the latest pics here!!

will be back soon with more of my macho machine pretty soon

BELATED HAPPY TEACHERS DAY!!

BOSSUU..memory LOSSUU....
do you think I’m not trying to hum the latest song here
nahhh.....
I forgot something really important

as a mark of reverence my deep appreciation
for all those teachers n elders
who have directly or indirectly taught me the values of my life
who at every stage guided me to choose the best
who taught me to stand for what is right.. no matter how hard it is
and showed me the beauty of sharing, caring and being for one another

"Guru Brahmaa Guru Vishnu
Guru Devo Maheswara
Guru Saaksaat Param Brahma
Tasmai Shri Guruve Namaha"

BELATED HAPPY TEACHERS DAY!!

I miss my school time now. It was a lot fun then [:P] But something i was wondering here is, how come orkut didn’t remind me of the day?? Whatever is the occasion i find all the display pics and status messages turned on with the latest new. When YSR expired almost all the names were turned to "YSR we miss you, YRS; may his soul rip" and so on. But somehow i didn’t find the Teachers day message on any of my updates. I’m not blaming people for not reminding me (lol) but i think the day was worth being mentioned.

DEATH... equals it all

no matter how hard we run in this life race
all would be nullified by death
so, it doesn’t matter the number of credentials
that you hold but the kind of death bestowed

YSR...
may his Soul rest in peace

we all know that death is certain
if not today.. it will be our turn tomorrow...
but certain incidents qualify to be called "Inviting Death"
and i feel the tragic that took place with YSR is one such
after knowing that it is not the right time or the right condition
how can one just go ahead risking not just his lifebut others too??

This so called "It's Okay Yaar!!!" attitude costs a lot some times

Me, my buddy!!

did it ever happen that you have tonnes of things to talk about

all your ideas.. all your feelings.. incidents that have been so surprising at times..

all the funniest things, wierdest of wierd ideas.. every stupid mistake that you have done

every heartful laugh that you've had...

and then when you turn back with all this on your mind and you find no one else but the dearest of dear your own self.

Failure

“Failure is not always a mistake; it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying”

-B. F. Skinner

Time I’ll never forget

August 18th, 2007 the grand farewell that I received from my loved ones. The mixed feeling of pain- of leaving my loved ones back home, happiness- that finally I am on my way to achieve what I have always dreamt for, excitement- of travelling new places, meeting new people. Everything looked so perfect. School time was such fun. Made some wonderful memories together with friends. Though it’s not always good that I had experienced.. those lil fights, those patch ups.. those long walks and those never ending talk. I enjoyed every moment of it.

And then came this damn recession, forced me onto the longest break in my career, and to my happiness. Everything changed. Tension piled up, always a question of what next, what could be the alternative.. Never did I so much incline towards destiny, that in this one year after school I started believing in it. Kept trying in all possible ways.. but looks like the future holds something else.. Something more beautiful… something I have never ever imagined for myself…

Two years have so passed leaving some bitter experiences, teaching me a couple of things in the hard way, giving me so much of time to know myself even better… desperately awaiting to watch what the future holds for me…

Proud to be an INDIAN… now and always

Celebrating our 62nd year of Independence..



I raise all high to salute to my mother land. This day I would like to pay my due respect for all the greatest of the great freedom fighters who have sacrificed their lives to get us this day.

Though INDIA is still being treated as a developing nation, it has definitely made its mark in the world history. Information Technology, Scientific research, Aviation, Defense, Arts.. You name it and we have our presence in it. Whatever people call us, we Indians have made a mark for ourselves. I am so proud to represent myself an INDIAN.

Reminiscence of the good old bygone days when I used to get all excited to put the paper flag onto my shoulder, with that white sports uniform and keep wishing every one “ Happy Independence Day”. It was an age when I didn’t know if the excitement was because I would be given free candy at school or was it because of the parade that I always liked to watch or because it was one off-study day at school. But whatever it was, it was just fabulous. The sight of everyone raising high for the National anthem gives me that very nice and proud feeling (Gets me those goose bumps ) The song made me so thrilled and charged as ever.



The Celebration continues..

garmagaram chai..
heavy rain slashing my patio door..
my all time fav music..

Lov n it man!!!

it means so much to me

It’s been some time now that I found myself grounded in that big deep chasm from where I found no ray of hope. Every time that I tried to find some way out, I found double the force that was pulling me more deep into it. For some time I completely lost all my power and all that strength that made me take everything so positively and so cheerfully. A sense of losing, a feeling of being defeated ruthlessly crept into my heart making it all week. And suddenly the voice that has been all the way silent spoke to me. Not about his stupid pranks or his careless trial. Nor about his muses or rants but reminded me of the lost me. Reminded me about the one that lost herself to some artificialities and hid herself far from what she really is. He made me realize what is it, which was always there with me for 23 years and then suddenly was lost somewhere. He recouped my lost potential with his one pull. Those little hands which I once held when he was about to fall, held mine when I needed them the most. The lil brother to whom I taught how to eat and how to play today taught me how to get back to myself. Thanks bro!!! Thanks for being for me.



P.S your flying kiss rode all the way to your sister :)

Our Earth

The planet is going to peril. I want to change it. And I know there are many who want to do their share of effort for this. Let’s get to discuss a couple of ways as to how we can all do that together.

1. The first important issue is, one has to understand the impact of the choices that we take. Make wise choices. Reduce the consumption of earth’s resources like... choosing goods with less packaging. Think about the products entire life cycle from manufacturing to the disposal. Replace your non-renewable resources with the renewable once like the solar and wind. Travel mindfully, cut down on your greenhouse gas emissions. Think in a more ecologically friendly way use train and local means more. I
Know it’s easy to say but it takes a lot to commitment to get to work. But anything and everything is possible

2. Make your homes healthy and more efficient going green:
• Keep a watch on the home illumination. Replace your light bulbs as they burn out with compact fluorescent models.
• Use kitchen and bathroom ventilating fans as little as possible to avoid sending too much heated or cooled air out of the house.
• Check the setting on your water heater isn't overheating your water.
• Next major saving should be with the water. Its earth’s most precious resource. Using as little of it as possible not only reduces the energy needed to transport the water from its source, process it, and send it along the pipes to people, but it helps to ensure that there's enough to go around. Fix the leaking faucets around the home right away. Use as little water as possible when cooking. Use water wisely when you are washing the dishes. In general, a shower uses little than filling up the container. Whether you prefer showers or baths keep water conservation in mind and limit the amount of water you use.
• Practice green cleaning: use baking soda, vinegar, and lime, Borax etc., as cleaning solutions to many household issues than powerful chemicals.

3. Minimize your trash and de-clutter your life:
• For many people, if trash is "out of sight, it is out of mind" as soon as it leaves their home. But that’s not the end of trash’s journey. It’s just the beginning. For every item you throw out, there's hidden waste- the raw materials that went into its production and the resources such as water and energy that fueled the process, from raw materials to finished goods to land fill. And much of that energy comes from non renewable sources. The main idea here is to reduce your trash so much that you produce no waste at all. It’s far more practical and achievable way with all the recycling and packaging practices that are catching up with today’s "Green" culture.
A few tips onto how to go about this
• Buy less. Identify the difference between what you "Need" and what you "Want"
• Be mindful of packaging. Buy fresh food that doesn’t come prepackaged. Avoid individually packaged items. Take your own shopping bag; reduce the usage of plastic bags. Opt for items in glass or other recyclable containers instead of plastic containers that can’t be recycled.
• Lengthening the life of your processions: try to opt of processions that you can handle longer. That way you would be helping with a lot of waste reduction and avoid buying new items and getting rid of the old once and also save some money.
• Recycle as many products as you can. Try to identify sources in your community where there are recycle hubs and use them. You can also turn your garbage into someone else’s gold by just donating them to the needy. Offer your used goods to another person reduce waste and fits in with the idea of reusing as much as possible.
• Disposing of electronic goods: electronics have become an important part of our lifestyle. And they have also become more prominent contributions of our homes waste. If you want to get rid of your old electronics just find an electronic recycler near to you. Or if you want to get rid of your old computer and TV don’t trash it. Donate it for reuse by facilities like charity schools or social organizations. Disposing your old vehicle. Don’t throw it into junk yards. It can be reused sometimes or can be donated. You can sometimes get a tax benefit if you donate things to charity organizations [:)]

4. Make more green diet decisions:
Be selective about where your food comes from. Go for locally produced food stuff. This way you would save all the green house gas emission form the transportation of the foods from distant places.
Go for the local farmers market which would be open just a couple of times a week but which would cater to buying fresh local and organic food.


These are all small tips, in all the various ways we can save the environment. These small issues can be a great contribution to the society.

And I feel all this education has to be done specifically at the grass root level. Little school children have to be educated with high priority about these issues. That is an age when, whatever is stressed will remain forever. We have to involve children in the green drive activates that the school undertakes. Teach them the effects of whatever we do. Such things don’t happen in a jiffy. All this is going to take some time. Persistent effort and working dedicatedly will definitely bring a change.

I would appreciate the discussion of more solutions to the issues. Pour your thought and bring in more issues to light.
