Drowned in my Thoughts...

I watched a Movie recently,which was a tribute to three college students burnt to death during a Political upheaval.It is not about the property ,or about the people who even deemed it necessary to commit this heinous act.It is about the thoughts and dreamz of their parents.

Every Parent has his own dream for their children,to see it quashed by strangers ,makes them lose hope not on this society,but on life itself.Movie's like these make me think twice,but these remain for those moment alone and never sustain.Can one person make a difference? can one move mountains? can one change people's perspective?can one put an end to the society's evils?

I am second tired of being a nobody and always grieving about my problems.It is time to take things into our hands and turn the wheels of change.It start with changing the way we think about life.You get one chance to live it and if you waste it,you don't even get a chance to repent!!

You don't have to move mountains,make a differenc to the people around you and that is all that needs to be done.The rest will fall into place by itself.

My top priorities are:

1) Stop being Lazy ( seems too vague a goal to acheive ... :( )

so I am breaking this up into,the important things that can help to make a difference,especially to my mom.

1) Cleanup after myself.
2) Do some household chores aleast don't be a couch potato.

let me start with this and move on to greater good.... :)

Keeping my fingers crossed here,and I will need all the luck and goodwill.

Tamil MA(My Review)...

If you want to watch a Movie for fun,I hope you do not watch this.If you want to learn thefacts that is troubling developing India,then you have got to watch it just to realize the issues that have been submerged due our lack of sensitivity.I am not talking about the globe trotting IT professional,who by the way don't even make 4-5% of total India.But due to us,the rest of the population facing hardships from House rent to daily food.

Let's get the sides clear.I am not against IT in India,cos I am an IT Professional.I do not know any thing other than computers,let alone make a sandwich on a sandwich maker.But due to the major of IT professional,who seem to get paid more than [everyone else other than me :) ]they actual comprehend to use, discard it
like water in chirapunji.

Have you ever put thought into spending 100 bucks on lunch? Once you lose control of your expense,the shop keepers are there to exploit this situation.Finally your expense exceeds your income and you jump ship's.What does a guy working in a Tea shop do?He does not get a annual raise.Even if he does,it would be less than peanuts compared to us.

Earn all you can,cos it is your sweat and Hardwork,but try to spend it wisely.Once IT starts moving to China,I think we would not feel a pinch,but part of our economy going down with it and its woes,some thing similar to US predicament now.As they correctly point it out in the movie,the minimun income still remains less than 2000Rs/- but maximum has exceeded ceiling.What will we do after 10 years.... Still remain a Mystery.I think I should think about moving to China!!

Human's brittle Facade

Have you ever wondered,why we mortals try to be attractive,or be impressive for that matter? The answer has been avoiding me for a long time and every time I come up with reasons,it always seems shallow.

There are some,who go to extreme ends to meet the requirement.Should we applaud them,or chide them for being so dependent on materials for self confidence.Well... you would have to agree that,we do all these just to gain self confidence,so we could do something,that we ourselves as single entity cannot try to achieve!!

The New year has been ushered in with a lot of gusto,but its meaning,seem to diminish as the hairs turn grey with time...have you wondered,what it means to sleep like a baby?? forgetting that a world with all its glamour expects the a lot from you.

As you grow old,your responsibilities increase.But does that improve your quotient? We or to be accurate ,me am growing very dependent or to a certain extent addicted to worldly goods.My resolution this year is to "Be independent!!" Nothing more,nothing else.
