Omen Vs Hurdle

When should one consider a difficulty as a Omen or a Hurdle ? Or Is the question about How ? Let me elucidate my question more clearly. Consider a scenario where you wanted "something." In the process of achieving that something you are welcomed with bunch of difficulties or setbacks. Do you consider those difficulties a bad Omen and give up what you wanted or you consider the difficulties a hurdle and cross it to get what you wanted? Whatever you chose you cannot UNDO it. You have to live with it. That's irony of the life. The choice becomes even more difficult depending upon the intensity of the something you want and the costly risk residing beside that something. Adding to this there would be fear of failure, different opinions, one's own limitations, social pressures and finally sarcasm. How do we go about this? If we sit and think about it , we will break our heads. If we talk with the people about it we will be bombarded with different views like be op...

Being a Spectator

Can you name a person whom you know personally in the following criteria? A Person cracking CIVILS on his/her own without any coaching. A person leaving his/her job and starting his/her own business. A person getting admitted into top universities. A person earning 15 Lakhs in one day from stock market. A person who became very rich from real estate business. A person made it into film industry. A person who participates in IRON MAN Competition. A person who just takes break every 2 months in a year and travels exclusively. Till couple of years back I used hear about the people listed above either through media or through some random third person. I never met them before or never seen them before. But today as I write this post I know those people directly. They are some of my friends. We all started from same colony or in same class or in same company. I just remained as a spectator while some of my friends performed miracles. Being a spectator s...

Boxers

One of the best inventions that the ‘man’kind should be proud of is the invention of Boxers. The comfort, the flexibility and the designs in which they come make me feel great inside. This is the best alternative for the facing the scorching heat during the extreme summers and normal summers. Who ever invented this Kudos to you boss. Though people wont remember you name your invention will definitely be remembered.

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...

Books Worth Living

What I meant by the title is just reading is not enough; we have to live the principles in the book to experience superior life indicated in the books. I have read so many books in the last eight years but none touched my conscience as strongly as the following three books: Seven habits of highly effectively People Four Agreements Leadership and its self-deception Personally I feel the latter two books addresses the issues that the first one has not considered and keep one from not getting carried away. The latter two books show us the strong opposing residing within us for leading a superior life. I am not telling it would be easy to start living the principles suggested in the books. But we can give a try. While I was readings these books I encountered the ugliness within me and how there are lot of forces within me that are hindering me without allowing to lead a simpler and superior life. What I meant by superior life is to lead life in a way wher...

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 neve...
