There is no Traffic Jam on the extra mile you travel


One of my architecture friends is fighting against all odds to make her own space and gain respect.

One of my budding actor friends is pushing himself very hard to make big in the movie industry.

The iron walla at the end of my street is working day and night in different jobs so that he can able to meet the needs of his family in this inflated world.

One of my friend’s friend inspite of his disability does one thing or another in order to prove a single point  “ disability is not to the mind.”

One of my friends who work in a night job travels to Hyderabad every weekend just to spend one day with his family and make them happy.

One of my friends at work stretched himself every day from 7:30 PM to 12:00 am for the past three months to give a dance performance for 20-30 minutes.

Lastly one of my friends who took the responsibility of his family (of 5) thinks, works and stresses himself very relentlessly to meet their needs and desires and never thinks about himself.

And the list goes on and on…….

When I look at these people I feel delighted (telugu word sounds good “ muchatavestondi”).  Instead of just sitting at home and talking about of how things should be or should not be, they are working to make something happen. That’s the best part. I feel privileged having surrounded by such friends. I agree with the statement “ There is no traffic Jam in the extra mile one would like to travel.” The only stopping force presents always inside us.

The New ‘MY’Tattoo

Image
It took nearly three and half years to get the new tattoo inked on my body. This tattoo has a special significance to me as it represents me psychologically and emotionally. The inception of the idea of getting tattooed has begun when I met Aparna Sarepaka (alias Appy) who is an amazing artist (One of few best artists I have known till date) and was amazed by her designs and sketches. I asked her whether she could help me out in sketching myself for a tattoo. She agreed and asked me to fill a template about likes / dislikes and interests /disinterests. She actually sent me some designs but those are cluttered and needed some modifications. I requested her to do the same. Meanwhile she got busy with her exams and then with her life and the project went on HOLD.Then I worked independently looking lot of designs in different cultures and trying to match to my philosophy in life.Nothing got materialized. After sometime I met Tejaswi Damaraju , an architect with immense interest in des...

Interval Bang

As I was falling from the plane from 13300 ft with a speed of 200Km/hr, I felt very much relieved as I completed my bucket list that was created five years back.I became free from it. I was so attached to the bucket list that there was a background process running all the time in my mind to complete the bucket list. Freedom is unexplainable experience. I did not know how to express it and I felt like running running running and running. The moment I landed on the ground, I got an impression that half of my life was over. In the movie language, the first half was over and the interval time had arrived. Bazinga!!! Looking back, life was mostly passive till third year of my engineering education. Life spurted during the final year. Then it started to scrawl then to walk then to sprint then to run. Past 6 to 7 years, life was at a very good rush: Ignorance recognized, ego brought down, confidence unveiled, courage uncovered, love craved, character built, innocence protected, youthful vi...

Becoming a little Lighter

Image
Philosophy is in my blood. If you chat with me for 30 min I will atleast refer it 7 to 9 times or perhaps more. People  were puzzled, and even considered  me foolish /stupid and if the person was woman /gal she would go mad. Some people thought I would become sanaysi at one point of time. It has reached a point where for even I do not get a cup of tea I started referring philosophy which made people even more mad and this in turn made me mad. I tried to control it but I could not. As George Bernard had put it more eloquently “ Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman but believing what he read made him mad.” I guess I am Don Quixote in making. I was brought up in a lower middle class Brahim family. Philosophy is everything for us. To get motivation I referred philosophy, to calm myself I referred philosophy, to get answered questions I referred philosophy, if my dad sends my brother out of the house since he did not make it into top 3 of the class I referred philosophy,  wh...
