Stop Thinking !!

In this very under-thought blog, I am going to brief you on: "Why should you not think too much?" This being a blog that is being written due to frustrations arising from most people who excessively think and waste my time, I am going to be brief and don't want to appear over-thought. How difficult is a yes or no ? ... Batao aur khatam karo ... itne sochte kyun ho ! There is nothing to lose, as you have come here with nothing and are going to go with nothing. Now the consequences of over-thinking I believe you will need to contemplate on are as below. Feel free to add as comments or points you think are relevant as undeniable consequences of thinking: You could actually be wasting somebody's precious time, in not acting your part. You could take somebody's life when you are thinking - ex: Cause an accident, etc It could actually waste your time to execute a menial task. Thinking could drive people you love away from you, due to lack of action in expressing your lo

Lion Hearted !

The eyes of a dragon, in a breathe of fire. Anger alone his power and dare. Face up to him as his snare unveil, At the burst of which we may swallow a whale. This is life a dragon at heart, His intention none; but to make us strong at heart. He likes to slay us once in a while, With no mercy is his own style. Face away from him and be taken by his blow. Face up to him inside yourself to dare and grow. My words so thus are my expression of faith, In a life that is a lion's respite and heaven's insight. Arun Raj Written on 30/06/2005

The Rain was drenched in Love ...

Image
It was just another day at office, but not just another day in my lifetime. It rained today. In Delhi, drenching in rain is a rare experience annually, which you cannot afford to miss out on. And, I personally being a rain freak manage quite effectively to see that, I do enjoy every drop of it. It puts me into a state of happiness only equivalent to the state of being in love. I was expecting rain to shower out pretty decently today. While in this state of love, I gave my sweetheart a call to see if she was available for a romantic evening: calling us to drench in it is showering. Being one of the first few dates out with her, it was always a challenge judging her responses. Also, as much as a confused and lazy soul like her, she tried to make up her mind on whether to come along or not. I always liked the challenge of getting her heavy-footed self to come out. While through this, I also felt she did bask in the attention too ... And then she concurs ... and now! I am elated!! It had

Hunger - Emotionally !!

DEFINITION: Hunger is a funny emotion. It can be: A sign of total misery, or Forced Hunger or A sign to keep fighting sometimes to complete objectives to fulfill the need for food - Work in short , or A materialistic wanting of the human body. TYPES OF HUNGER AND POSSIBLE WAYS OUT: Now taking different scenarios into consideration: Sign of total Misery When you haven’t had anything proper for ages and start getting completely under-nourished, while also not having the resources to get a 3 time good meal. The duration of hunger now becomes an eternal period of unrest, where you make yourself feel it is as a routine nuisance of the restless mind. Forced Hunger or When you are fighting to complete objectives Tiring from work we try to fix focus on work with a grumbling stomach. But then since you missed your breakfast for work, this was a foreseen unavoidable consequence. Then focus on the sumptuous meal and visualize it as a treasure, preferably a picture from the pages of a cook book .

Anything is POSSIBLE :)

Image
Anything is POSSIBLE :) by just changing the way you look at it ... As an OPPORTUNITY or JUST ANOTHER CHORE !! Many a times opportunities fall into your involuntarily open arms, that you reluctantly accept. Unmindful of gains you walk the fire and bear a grudge. The grudge drives you to do your best at something you have been forced with ... but then you realize it was really too simple to have borne a grudge for !! And now you think ... Anything is POSSIBLE :)

Once in a lifetime experience !!

Image
If life could be more unpredictable then ... I'm in for the same. The fear of unknowing is an adrenalin rush that drives me to great heights of pleasure. ( I guess that is why planning is something I do not do ;) ) ... This was one such experience, with some great friends of mine. 7.30 pm to 11.40 pm - 18th October 2007 http://www.photoblog.com/submit2arun/2007/10/18/ Through to a sleepless night ... waiting for daybreak :) 11.40 pm to 6.30 am- 19th October 2007 http://www.photoblog.com/submit2arun/2007/10/19/ It was once in a lifetime event for all of us. And im really glad that all of us met. From miles away and cultures apart, we met as friends on a common platform - LIFE. Now we seek our paths with blessings a lot and many a sweet memories to cherish. LOVE YA ALL .. !! :) - Siddharth, Mohit, Rupa, MunMun, Ravish, George, Bobin, Mridula, Ankit ...

Where is home ?

As a simple belief, I say "Home is where you heart is or where your family is!" :D

Back Office Blunders

The globalization parade always raised one question in my limited thought process – Is this what we learn a 4 year Bachelor of technology for and does it depict what we are really capable of? With globalization, our focus dissipated to only satisfying the requirements of a world which seeks only to improve its own comfort and efficiency, than looking at the issues at hand in our nation. Planning for long-term reliable sources of income rather than immediate gratification was what made nomads into civilizations. From that perspective then, I question how far-flung are our current plans and planning of our future sources of incomes are? When 65% of our populace earning direct or indirect income from varied sources of agriculture activities, we still consider feeding electricity to the rest 35% now is of top priority. The 123 Nuclear Deal with the US has been over-shadowed by the KIA (Knowledge Initiative for Agriculture education) initiative signed by our honourable PM with the US Premie

Women & Men Of Honor

I shed a tear for a history past, For friends and lovers I made & lost. A great many I hear are in seats of honor, A great many I hear are struggling, but fights. For the ones in honor, may have had a lucky spite, The struggling few grows in time, in strength & vigor. I let out a sigh for the moments not too bright, That we all spend with great many struggles inside. But now I believe, we have grown inside, As Women & Men with great skill and might. A voice inside, now prays for strength today, For the friends I made and my own humble soul. " Dedicated to completion of 1 year working with a great set of people .. Also dedicated to friends from college and my lifetime in college. "

Albert - To have loved is better than never to have at all !

Image
This is one person I found in my humble lifetime that likes to take a hit for many an avoidable shots that life puts to him and takes it with elan. End of the day I have to answer his one question : " Why am I like this ?", to which I answer : "I told you so, but you still are the same." He is an awesome manager instinctively, which he would not acknowledge. Something natural about him in making work done by people without them knowing they have done it, is something effective management is all about, and dear Albert, you are exceptional at this. This guy makes the system around him work towards his goals with the world unaware of it. And yet today he wastes his time lazing around doing an insignificant software job, which is inundating his capabilities as a great manager. He is been to me more than a friend who was there in some of the most difficult moments of my life till today. As a brother and a friend he has been valuable person to many a person's life he

I am Flying home in an Air Deccan !!

That heading sure does sound freaky at first, but it settles in around 10 minutes after you get in. I really don't want to make a statement saying it is a BAD flight, but make clear that I was expecting something worse. The only things that did trouble me, or in a way excited me, was of the possibility that, this whole flight would just stall in mid-air and crash. But, that does not happen all that too often right ! But then to my delightful surprise it was not the flight that was the adventure it was more of the journey to catch the flight and the boarding that was the FUN :) here goes ... Saturday 2 nd May 2007 - I prepared my luggage, cleaned up my room and was waiting for Neha to come. She does come but with a sweet little lady her niece Navya . When they left it was time for me to track Sid out, who is expected to drop me at Delhi Airport. The adventure begins at 42 deg C, having me to walk 1 Km to the railway station where Sid would pick me up. Sid drops his jaws seeing my

Saturday 6th Nov 2006 - A Fun Experience with Myself :)

First of all on saturday morning my roomie went out with his gurl to do mushy mushy stuff in sum park. So ,I was alone and had no particular plan. So LETS GO ... Me and Myself went out happily to a mall nearby called CENTRE STAGE MALL. So reached there started roamin around for while.. went to the multiplex there .. BUT no movie that i wanted to see, in a long while until 2 or 3pm .. So finally at around 1.15 went to a Cookie shop and fergot 400rs and walked away .. Now travellin in a cycle rikshaw almost 2 kms away.. ... Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .. I fergot 400 rs .... OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY ... .. Go rikshaw walle bhai .. LETS GO .. He also said LETS GO .. .. We are now on a rush trip back to the mall, the traffic stopping us and the rash driving proving as estranged obstacles .. We were cool .. we flew past all that ... And we reached the surrounding of the mall , the policewalla does not allow us to enter the vicinity of the mall .... we try a different route .. and bounced back by 3 po

" Leaving Port to Destined Docks "

Image
Sails of splendor, we proudly spread; On our rafts or yachts of life. Some trails we followed, among many, Are etched in dark on our sails in vivid. The time, it took, to built the yachts, And builders involved, many now forlorn. But the path now defined, we flow; Flow with the fickle draft . Fresh and lucid some memories now, That stir our minds, to whirls of emotions; Then we say in resigning valor, " Those where lovely times ... ". And now the steer ever so bound, In search of the destined honor; Let's cross our hearts and face the waves, And steer this yacht to its destined docks.

Very Simply LOST !!

Image
Treading paths new and old, I found many truths untold to me. Paths there were, I could not take With assured bright ,but dim lit. People shared many ways they thought right; And I took many I thought right. I felt, I lost, myself in a foggy night, But then that was only that one night. The morning broke and a shady spite Which few hoped would bring new hope; but never shined. It still is a journey for a sweet truth, Eclipsed but only by a focus blur; I believe. I tread now with first hope ,to find first A pair of spectacles, to fix my sight, then a torch to find the final bright. ... On a Journey ! ... Arun Raj

My Neural Hypothesis for Intuition

If you have an understanding of the neural processes in your brain .. i believe intuition is easier to understand. The brain is actually a Storage Box of information and has been trained with the capability of linking and processing multiple inputs to achieve or reach to conclusions. We know that all people perceive different events differently. The reason, because the millions of neurons interconnect and process the same information with different inputs .. hence the different outputs. Leading to varied thought processes. Now coming to intuition my theory is as follows :I think it is more of a probablity science. The people who say they have intuition are more or less very capable at probablity, subconciously. But to compare an established mathematician and a person with intuition does not make sense. If any of us would have followed the Numbers series on AXN, you would know the capability of mathematics in predicting situations. So,then the conclusion of my hypothesis is that : Intu

Emergence of the 'GOD' - A hypothesis ! - Part 1 - Fear of loss of control

The story begins long ago when man was not of the same physical shape and of a civilised nature, when the 'Survival Instinct' was his only way of reasoning. He was clearly not the most powerful creature around. He had to find a way to protect himself and guard himself against the more powerful creatures around him. While every creature around him found a way to survive ,either by camouflaging itself or with some physical capability to protect itself ,Man had none. Neither did he have a skin that could blend into the environment, nor did he have the legs to run fast, and also did not hv the teeth to bite into raw flesh. His only resort was to use the skill and instinct he evolved called - Reasoning . Reasoning led him to understanding the nature of fire and also on deciding the best type of food for his survival. He then reached a point where his reasoning told him that working in teams can be more effective than alone. Understanding the synergy of working in groups he hunted in
