End Of An Aussie Aura




END OF AN AURA



South Africa ended nearly a century-old drought to register their first ever series win in Australia when they crushed the hosts by nine wickets in the historic second Test here on Tuesday.

Here is the again latest example that best in the world will never remain best something bestest (it's my English so I will use it the way I want) will sooner or later will topple it.

So what's the learning from this, of course I am not saying that Australia now become weak team but point here is that other teams are now become more stronger than before.

Its clearly shown up that Australia doesn't have replacement of their Ace bowlers. Mcgrath, warne or they have not adjusted well without them.

Meanwhile ponting has maintained his statuesque but he became the first Australian captain in 16 years to suffer a series defeat on home soil.

Some corporate learning I have found here is that even you are best in surrounding, then also you need to have back up plan for each and every critical position. It's not only important to achieve top position but maintaining that top position is crucial.Changes are inevitable for success and your tectics and strategies should get changed with timeand people.

Movie Review – Ghajini



Typical baseline story

Love at first sight - - > love - -> Murder - - > Revenge

Yes its typical movie precisely typical south indian kinda movi with Aamir’s Perfection, very well directed and screen play was the best part of the movie.

Well I started to watch movie with many hopes (that can expect from Aamir khan’s Movie) but truly speaking it not satisfied me as I always look to take something good points from movie but from Ghajini there is nothing to take except a dedication, commitment, hard work and Perfection of Aamir Khan.

Music is good but not the best of A R Raheman.

Except Aamir khan all other character of the movies looks like typical south indians. Even director can not resist himself to avoid south flavor in movi.

Asin is good but don’t you feel that she was too much good in the movie?? Hehe....

Well no moral in the story so we shouldn’t discuss that.

I have one question here for director, what were police is doing in movie??? Except that girl hostel police was not seen up any where … interesting na…lolzzz

And one more observation Sanjay Singhania was an ordinary guy with extraordinary power because he had a 'mission'.The fact that he could not remember what that mission was made for the twist in a tale which would otherwise have been a 'kameene main tera khoon pi jaoonga' kind of revenge drama from the 1970s or 80s.

I was happy to see that Aamir's rippling muscles and even the Ghajini 'hair style' were not mere packaging but integral to the storyline of the film. That's what one expects from this very fine actor :)

All in one "One Time Watch Movie"

Preserve Your Happiness - It will Pay you Dividend over longer time

Plz read this story…

Monica married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party, Monica's mother gave her a newly opened bank savings passbook with Rs. 1000 deposit amount.

Mother: 'Monica, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'

Monica shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made. This was what they did after certain time:

- 7 Feb: Rs. 100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage

- 1 Mar: Rs.. 300, salary raise for Monica

- 20 Mar: Rs. 200, vacation trip to Bali

- 15 Apr: Rs. 2000, Monica got pregnant

- 1 Jun: Rs. 1000, Hitesh got promoted

..... and so on...

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things. They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more love...Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

One day Monica talked to her Mother: 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!'

Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the savings passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'

Monica thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home. When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.

The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to Monica. She found a new deposit of Rs. 5000. And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.'

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.

Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask.. I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru all the good years in their life.

"When you fall, in any way, *Don't see the place where you fell, Instead see the place from where you* * slipped.*

Life is about correcting mistakes."

-------------------------Moral-------------------------

Well what I am getting from this story is that always preserve your happy moments it not need to be same format but in any way you have to store that moments. And all the hard work and investment you do for storing all that moments will get paid of over the years.

Sometimes we forget all small good things happen to us while we busy in running behind a big dream. But big dreams are like rainbow which gives you illusive view of happiness where all small good things are like rain which makes you feel happy and content instantly. I don't know how many of you will agree with my analogy but we all do same mistake again and again.

How many of you can list out every small good thing happen to you in your life so far. I think very few. Right?

Well read my caption line below the blog header it says "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending"

The Illusive Perfect First Date! - An illicit Affair


Well yesterday I read one blog on Perfect First Date. As soon as we hear a word Perfect Date we fall to imagine a couple, made for each other type, a sunset near beach, candle light dinner, holding each other tightly, looking each other romantically, and staring each other naughtily finally a long walk down the road. Well need to stop now its too much of imagination. :)

But in reality how many of you have experienced this kind of perfect first date ans is no one. Well I am not here to write what is perfect first date and nor I am expert in that but here All I wanted to write about this relation of mine, I could not help it and today I make it public!!!

Well I am not writing a love story here but I am expressing my experience of perfect first date, the Illusive perfect first date yes its illusive where only I feel that it’s my perfect first date, a short and sweet. Where many things happened in 2 hours, we talked many things in eyes, we understood many things that what was going in our mind and we felt so much comfortable with each other without even saying a word. A great experience even I am smiling while writing about that event. :)

I don’t want to reveal a name or place where we met because if she reads it she will know about whom I am speaking and what I am saying. Let me start now….

We were around 10 odd people seating together and discussing some event which we have thought to organize after few days. This was my first meeting with many of them and yes with her also. I had never seen her and never talked with her before that day. :)

Everything was going normal, we were chatting around with each other, discussing something, arguing on topics and of course getting introduced with each other and suddenly I saw one girl inching towards our table from corner of my eyes. I wished that she should come to our table and my wish got accepted by god…aahh I should have wished something more bigger than this yaar I didn’t knew that god will listen my wish at that time :) hehehe…

She came and stand near our table I don’t know about others but I was looking to her or I should say I was staring to her and she did noticed that. And our eyes met with each other for couple of seconds and I felt that I knew her from my childhood. It was so much comfortable in looking each other. We smiled and said hi without word.

Then we all were getting introduced with each other and was talking on many things. I was looking to her at equal time duration. And I was feeling so much exciting, so much impressive, so much bonding with her. I know its little bit flimsy but I was just fall in love with her. I did not believe love at first sight but from that day I am into other side of the group. I was searching for excuse or any hint to get to know her, to talk with her, to be a good friend of her. I still remember that one laugh we have shared on that evening it was life long experience. She was sounding so refresh or only I was feeling that!! She was a complete package. I was just entered in my dream land, dreaming with open eyes and I don’t why but it was something called positive vibes’ exchanged between us.

I was staring at her and even she knew that. And even she also looked at me couple of time asking that why I am starring her without words. And I said you will not understand that why I am starring at you, that too also without words. Complete wireless communication … he he.. Sorry can’t resist me using this technical word after being working in telecom industry.

But suddenly someone came little late interrupting my communication set up and revealed something which was made my heart to miss the couple of beats. As soon as he revealed that things, I looked directly into her eyes and even she looked into my eyes. She gave me a laugh. I didn’t recognized her laugh because I was just into calculating the lost of my dream world, a end of my little love story, a end of my first perfect date. And I wonder now that how my brain worked so fast never then before in calculating all lost.

Well then nothing to loose and I looked her, she was still looking at me and smiling at me or laughing at me? I don’t know but I did smile back to her but that smile was with little pain of an abrupt end of my love story. And I was back to reality and checked all things and back to normal. We spoke little bit and said bye to each other and that too by smiling. :)

Well can’t resist myself to reveal that secret which that person who I feel a villain at that moment revealed at that moment and it was “she is already Engaged” well I don’t have a better end of my Illusive Perfect Date. :)

A Wake up Call – My Story


This Little Part of my life is called ... Frustration overcome... Happiness........

Well it all seemed to me that I was fighting for something! To be honest, it was all frustrating to feel is rejected for no good damn reason! When all people around me said that I have the basic knowledge I was frustrated!! When they said that I am not intelligent I was frustrated! When they said that I was average student I was frustrated! But when they said I was good I was okay! And when they said that I had the potential and I have proved myself, then this little part of me is called Happiness!!

This was the first time in my life (life lived till now), I feel to fight for my self esteem for my image and to become what I want to and to deserved what I deserve! Maybe that's what I am, always treated as an good chap with sensible head over my shoulder, I knew that this moment would be there, where in I have to survive and prove that I am the fittest of all, and am ready for all the hard comings and whatever.

Everything seem to fall in place in my life but still I was there standing as a confused person. Almost 3 years after being so called "An Engineer"I am still feeling that I am a fresher. I am still fighting for defining my destiny. Sometime you don't know where you are going, you just walking on the way which is falling on your path but unfortunately that path is not leading you towards your destiny. It is just creeping your time and things which you come across during this journey is so much illusive that you forgot your real destiny of life. Sometime it makes you to think that you are under dog. Where every one is getting ahead of you and you are not just able to switch your orbit. It gives you sense of failure but actually others don't understand that for getting success you should know taste of the failure.

Now on this year end I have to work on something which is my last go and after that everything would be normal. Maybe I have to slog myself, have to deviate myself from my comfort zone as something which might be very gruesome and tough to handle! But then I know that I can do it and this is my last step towards all together a new beginning of my life! I have a maximum of 5 months to prove that what I can do is something too good and worthy. Within these 5 months I have to build a system, a system which is stable enough and sufficient to give me that edge over all the things!

It was such long time that I was trying to kill the pain! But, then today I have to let it go! Wish somebody was there just to rest my head, and ease all the pain.There are people who would never understand what you want in your life, it's not easy to heal or mend, but then there are times when you can emerge from the wounds to heal a apart of yourself, where in it would become invincible if somebody tries to refrain you from reaching those pinnacles of success. There are times when you may want to have favors etc, but then that's not the end, sometimes they need you and you need them, that's a bit of Altruism. When all the fear inside you resides, that's when the best of you comes out!You know that there are something which love you, its not the people who are around you, it is that materialistic feeling which does not exist, or even though it exists it, comes out when you get what you want, you get when you need it!

I feel so much happy when things happening my way, its the same feeling that is repeating, it was like whenever I used to get good marks in my school days, it was not about showing it to the people around you, but it was about a beginning of a new dream about all the good things that you could become in your life! Its about proving yourself to yourself. Its about feeling a pride during walking on the ground. Its about making your parents family sibling friends proud by doing good things in your life. Its about making all the people happy around you by doing good things. Well that feeling is once again and maybe that is the reason why I am trying to explain here that, this time it's not for the people but for me myself and I.

'I' is that part of me which I have never been able to define to a good extent, its so confusing! What is I a small alphabet in the English dictionary which after 'A'.

Well no!! I believe "I" is not an alphabet, but something which can describe a whole sentence, a paragraph or maybe a book! Yes it can! Knowing that 'I' of you is one of the most difficult and the challenging task! How many of we can define that I, maybe none! Even Hitler couldn't't other wise he would have been able to conquer the world!

To be continued…..Lots to write about that "I"

Till then the perfect song from movie IQBAL …. Aashayien…..

Kuch aisa kar ke dikha
Khud khush ho jaye khuda
Ashayien mile dil ki
Umeedein hase dil ki
…….............Aashayien!!!!Aashayien!!!!

" UnRealistic Emotional Play "

As usual I was running late for office in the morning. but was feeling something different i don't know that is happiness or sadness but might be something in between.

sometimes it happens with everyone, that we don't know what we are feeling, what we are experiencing , what we are doing it feels like UnRealistic Emotional Play

As human being we always linked with expectation and satisfaction. And when you expect something and it did not satisfied you then you bound to play unrealistic emotional game. you don't know how to react and how to act. you just swim with the tide without any direction and finally you get disappoint at some point and compromise with your expectation.

Emotions plays at every place office, family, friends, profession, etc. Its all depends upon person to person that how he tackles it. But sometime we even don't know how to react ?? we just accept the things or compromise the things as dumb fold either by let go or by architect smile.

few days back i met with my friend, i did expect many things and i wanted to hear many things. things went fine and we were enjoying in a group but when time came to get apart and i didn't got any of my expectation fulfilled, i don't know what and how to react?? i don't know what to speak when someone don't realized the things or words which are unsaid which are silent in his nature.

i was just looking at my friends waiting for some words but it didn't came out and we get apart.

There should be some realistic approach for expectation and you should expect only that things which are you sure about to get. But as human mind we always venture un-ventured area of relations, expectations, something unrealistic play. And that part of your nature leads you to play UnRealistic Emotional Play.

In Short UnRealistic Emotional Play is a Game where we entered in the different pool of emotions. In this play we don't know we have to be happy or sad ,we have to be laugh or cry, we have to be loving or fighting, we are just confused with our emotions and we feels that no one is understanding us. We are into illusion of everything is going odd with you in UnRelaistic Emotional Play.

I don't know how many of you have played this game before but i have been in this play many times and i want to be out of this game.

Plz if you have any suggestion let me know.
Bail me Out too.

The UnDisputed "GOD" of the GAME

I don't want to biased with my likings but i know no one will argue with me when i will give a title to little master " Undisputed GoD of the GamE "

It has been now 2 decade not a small period for anyone to dominate. and Sachin has done that. He has same hunger, love, passion for a game which he had 20 years ago. Sometimes i feels that how this is possible where human loses its interest so fast but he has kept his fire igniting all the time.
I truly believe that we need to check his DNA. The Dedication, Determination, Discipline, Dream which he has shown to us is just out of box. I will not say him a leader but " a truly performer ". We all youngster have to learn from him that how to live with a dream and how to make sure you achieve your dream and carry on with that dream.

I don't find anything pending to achieve in his cricket career and there is nothing left to prove by him still he his playing for proving himself. Its just extra ordinary character he has shown to us. A real King of the game of cricket.

we all youngster has something to learn from him. As i am working as Analyst so i always thinks something different in everything. and being an engineer use of bullet points are natural to me. so here is something

  • Its really necessary to work Hard to achieve your dream

  • Your success comes from inside not from outside world

  • Focused on what you are doing not what others are saying

  • Smash your criticisers by your work not by words

  • Be calm, discipline, humble and down the ground don't allow success to enter in your head

  • Don't forget others who have contributed to your success either your family, friends, coach, colleagues, many others

I don't know what i want to say here but i am truly inspired by him, even i am not into cricket but the character which he has shown can be replicated into any Field. He has shown us how to survive in difficult time, how to build your strong points and improve your weak points when things were going odd with you. He has shown how to come back stronger when things going with you.

Even in this young India team where sum of all 10 players experience is equal to his alone experience, he is being as idol player, he is smiling with them, teaching them, standing with them but never shown that what he is and what they are. And he is doing this from last many years. And if we talk about pressure, don't you think the amount of pressure he is carrying for every inning he is playing. We all want century from him in every innings of the game. And for building that expectation you really have to show your character.

Just watched his 41st century, the way he was played, committed and dedicated to his betting was amazing. He still wants to prove himself, he still wants to satisfy himself. And the way he dedicated his century to mumbaikars is really good to find that he is giving back his city which has given everything to him.

Well many things have been already wrote about him and many things will get written about him, this is just little try to capture the unseen of his character.

Even you and me can be sachin tendulkar of our Field, we need not to play cricket for that but we need to dream for that. We need to work hard to achieve that dream, we need to be dedicated and determine to achieve our dream. So please friends live your dream and you will definitely going to achieve in your life.

My First Poem - Ek Tha Raja

Ek Tha Raja
Ek thi Rani
Dono Mill Gaye
Aur shuru Kahani

Ek Tha Raja
Ek thi Rani
Dono Mill Gaye
Aur shuru Kahani

Rani Raja maje mein rahete
gumte phirte haste khate

Phir
Phir kya???

Phir ek din aaya Dushman
Dushman ko to Rani Bhaye
Par woh Rani ko Kaise Paye
Raja ko woh Kaise hataye
Par woh Rani ko Kaise Paye

Dushman ne Bichaya Ek Jaal
Vajeer ko bola kar du mala mal

Vajeer ne bola Raja ko Mare kaise
Dushman ne bola aise waise

Dushman ne apni akal lagayi
Vajeer ko usne banaya sipayi

Phir
Phir kya???

Bhanda phut gaya phut gaya phut gaya re
bhanda phut gaya

kaise???
arre aisee....

Rani ne sun li unki baat
aur socha maru kaise laat

Raja bichara tha chakram
Sochta tha woh agdam bagdam

Dushman ne raja ko dost banay
aaur rani ka tension badaya
Rani ne socha phir ek Plan
Usne vajeer pe diya dhyan

Vajeer ko usne patti padai
aur dushman ki kari pitayi
Dushman bichara mar ka khaya
Vajeer bhi uske saath roya

phir
phir kya???

raja ki akal thikane pe aayi
usne dono ko saja lagayi
rani se usko ho gaya prem
dono mil ke khele game

Ek Tha Raja
Ek thi Rani
Dono Mill Gaye
Aur shuru Kahani (2)

phir
phir kya???

phir ek din good news aayi
raja ke gharpe ek ladki aayi

Ladki ka naam rakha kangana
us ko to tha haste rahena
haste khelte usko mila ladka
ladke ka naam tha kunal
sir pe usko thi ek taal

phir
phir kya???

un dono ne dekha sapna
sapne mein gaya unho ne gana
dono ki ban gayi ek jodi
ab to unko karni hogi shadi

phir
phir kya???

Ek Tha Raja
Ek thi Rani
Dono Mill Gaye
Aur Khatam Kahani

Arranged Marriage -I

Arranged Marriage

One thing which I haven’t understood till date. I mean it’s not that difficult. Many people go for arranged marriage. But I find it bit difficult to understand. Now I know, even Love Marriages are not easy. And with that, I start my analysis of arranged marriages.

One common thing between LM and AM is you have choice. In most of the cases you have the freedom of accepting or rejecting the other person. We must have heard a guy saying I have met 20 other girls before getting married to XYZ. So you have ample of choice. Even in LM, we marry a person of our choice. But there is a difference between two choices. In LM, our would-be life partner is someone whom we know. Someone, whom we have already understood as a person… someone, who knows you inside out and have accepted you for what you are and at the same time not doing any compromise.

In AM, things are different. (I am considering a bit modern scenario…n not a typical one) A boy and a girl… Their parents start searching for a suitable Bride/Groom for them. A common family friend or a relative or sometimes a matrimony agency suggests a suitable boy/girl. Photos are exchanged. Sometimes their kundalis are matched. Or sometimes their blood groups are compared. (One wise thing…)Then they meet each other with the consent of their parents. A meeting for say half an hour or one hour. (Now I am tempted to write the whole scene with dialogues.) What happens in this one hour? They greet each other. Though already known, they ask each other about qualification, job etc. They discuss their hobbies, their career goals, sometimes their views about some social issue. They talk about their families to make each other comfortable. Point here is how much do they understand each other as a person? Certainly one hour is not enough to know a person. Especially when you are planning to spend your whole life with him/her. Then how do they decide? If they decide to meet each other for couple of more times, then is that much time sufficient? One factor which is involved in this decision making is FAMILY. Family values, social tie-ups play an important role. Our society hasn’t yet started believing in courtships in case of AM. Nowadays people do take time of 3-4 months before getting married to the selected person. This is the time when they are supposed to know each other. But again, does the boy/girl get the right of refusal? No is the answer. This is the time when people prepare themselves for compromises and adjustments. After having said ‘yes’ there is no looking back. Whereas in LM, people do get a chance of stepping back. I may sound bit technical, but if we can draw a flow diagram then

For LM it is: Know --> Like --> Love --> Understand --> Marry.
For AM it is: Like --> Marry --> Know --> Understand --> Love

While writing this blog, a event which gave an entirely new perspective about this whole marriage thing. So I need to rethink about my views. Thats why ending this entry here. Some questions are still unanswered. But I’ll write them down some other time. Till then…
