Inscrutable Expressions!

A few months ago I learnt how important it was to be open to new ideas.A mind closed to new thoughts,ideas or beliefs that are different from our very own is deprived and ignorant.And in due course of time, it becomes dull and incapable of thinking beyond hackneyed.You ,in that case, are no better than-A frog in the well, ignorant of the beautiful world beyond.So break free from all the hassles...dare to dream,dare to welcome ideas.Feed your mind as you feed your body...and not to mention..feed your soul too. With the stage set for the drama let me not beat around the bush and come to the point I've been wanting to make. I ,being an avid reader, love reading rainbow range of books from science to mystery,folk tales to general awareness...an entire gamut would still not satiate my appetite for reading & learning.But I had biases,especially one of which I can remember well and am about to relate.Being a pure vegetarian(or atleast 99.99% as I can claim), the name "Ch...

When was the last time you did an act of benevolence?? I felt the same upsurge of emotions a few days ago.... As part of my daily chores I got ready to leave for office one fine morning,but a little late than usual.So as anticipated or feared,when I reached the bus stop the bus had already left.Now the sole option for me was to hurry to another bus stop,a few kilometres from mine,where I could board a bus due 15 min. from then.I called for an autowalla to rush to that stop.But all that while I was pre-occupied with the thought whether I would be able to make it to the stop on time so kept on telling the guy to drive faster.He sped up silently and I reached my destination well on time.I got down,paid the fare,crossed the road and enquired with the fellow commuters.The autorickshaw guy drove away.Haa to my relief,the bus was yet to come...After a while,a lady standing beside me signalled me to the other side of the road.I couldn't understand at first what was she upto.B...

A short poem written to mark the end of my probation period in Infineon Technologies India Pvt. Ltd. I'm in the team, I'm in the team, It gives me joys to think. I'm no longer the 12th player, Though never did it occur,I wasn't as much a member. The game ahead is challenging, I may falter and still need a patting, 'Coz I'm green and naïve And the team is all experienced and suave. I may not score a century, But I assure the ball shall definitely hit a few boundaries. I may miss a catch or two, But shall surely send a few on duck too. I'll try my best not to a wide or no ball throw, And in running between the wickets, not get out and go. I've played a few innings, And might not have been outstanding. But its just the beginning Soon my ball shall go spinning And my strike-rate shall go soaring. Be it a test match or one day, I shall never be to the team's dismay. I shall play the game in my style, But for the team's best interest,shall always go...

Dreams open up the world as cannot be perceived by open eyes.

Do the choices we make change our lives or does the life make us change our choices!

I am a 'common' man--how does it sound? As hackneyed as it means...!! Every other man walking on the road,travelling in a local train or bus,or thronging the parks, museums, theatres, temples is a common man..Right?? Struggling to earn a living, though never despirited as to see larger than life dreams(still being aware of the line between--CanS and Can notS),but sacrificing all the more to make spouse,children,parents happy,cutting down to 'LivingSize',as I reckon, in everything."Savings" (It is the buzzword !! The more you amass or succeed in doing so,the more is your Intellectual meter shooting) demarcates the more judicious lot."Expenditures" are curtailed as much as possible and frugality is practised. There is neither deprivation nor flaunt. Life's squeezed on all sides! And its not possible to break free from the hassles of life. But yes,that was the bird's eye view. There is something 'un'common about every common man you walk...

Look for happiness within yourself...Its only when your being happy depends on others then you land up being sad.
