A phone call

I had a visitor at home and I met him after three years. We were talking of some college days memories. This is a most common situation when all the gossips start and one gets always excited to get know what others are doing. This excitement was added upon, when another classmate of mine called on. She had so many stories to say that, I felt that she was a news go-down. The topic of the news varied from marriages, pregnancies, shift in jobs, engagements and so on. At the end I realized that we are always interested to know what others do, how much we earn, which are the best place to stay and the wish list goes on. Thanks to our network connections and mobiles which helps us to make all this possible.

strong versus weak

I was watching this beautiful documentary on Animal Planet, which was presented by non other than David Attenborough. Nature has gifted to all its creatures its own way of defense and protection against the extreme conditions.
The documentary was on how do herbivores protect themselves from the difficult situations and from the predators. It’s seen that zebras, deer, elephants and many others herbivores are usually in a group; this helps them to fight back against the strongest predators also. A calf was chased and caught by the lion; it’s the most common sight in the savannas, but was amazing was that the entire herd chased back the lion and finally the calf was rescued.
Here it’s team work, however weak you are, in a team one can chase or face the strongest of the difficulties. Another beautiful phenomenon in nature is that even when alone these animals (deer, chital …) can run as the same speed as that of cheetahs, leopard…) to protect themselves. So if alone or in team if you are strong you win the battle.

Face the truth

I was nervous, scared and my hands were trembling. I am sure many of us face this problem; the reason is to face the truth. Many a times we want to say the truth or confess mistake, but something always stops us. I guess its fear, ego to bend down and many more reasons. But finally I went up to face the consequences and reveled the truth. Guess what happens if u tell the truth? Should you confess mistake or hide it?

Caught in the waves of ocean

I was working on a project (event). This is to award companies for their best performance in conserving water. Constant phone calls, hectic schedule, continuous follow ups and so on. I felt that I was standing on a sea shore and each wave that was hitting me was trying to pull me into the sea, but my effort was to wade through the waves. At end I realized through continuous efforts, I learnt swimming and tried to cross them.
Situations/ circumstances are the best teacher, they teach even the dumb.

365 days has passed so soon. I still remember the moment when we were parting form old friends, childhood memories, beautiful city and with feelings moving like waves. Imagine the moment when train has just started…….. and you are standing on the door of the wagon waving “bye-bye” with your heart beating fast……
Everything has moved so fast, but memories are still fresh. I am sure all of us would some or the other day needs to leave things that we loved the most.

Lakshmi Naryana Global Music festival

What an enthralling concert. This concert was in memory of Late LakshmiNaryana the Father of renowned violinist Dr L Subramanium. His entire family showcased a beautiful musical festival. Especially we were impressed by the special language that was beautifully communicated and coordinated to each other (musicians) only through a smile and through movement of eyes. This coordination resulted in a language that everybody could understand, that’s music.

expressions of money

Excitement, gossips, rumors, queries, impatient, silence, happiness, jealous and many more reactions in the same place was felt and seen for the first time. I didn’t know money had so much influence on people. Every other work was left half done just to see how money influences designation. Phones are all engaged, cafeteria is full, and work places are empty with unsaved files on computers. The occasion being appraisal of the employees. “Money” you are great, you control all our emotions.
