Today is a day


Hi to all..
It is a bright and sunny day here at Mysore. A pretty calm climate for me..(not so for my roomie who is used to lower temps)
So after finishing the weekend chores of cleaning and planning,we decided to hit the cafe` for sometime and then proceed with our lunch. We have some internal assessments this week ...the last one I assume. After that we would be into real work...ooh

Things seem surrealistic about the exact nature of work as of now..but would be pretty real soon. I am itching to get started..

It feels good to walk along Kalidasa Road(near to which we reside)..which is a commercial hot spot of Mysore.To the left side of our building..K.D Road becomes a bustling metro shopping area..brimming with people of various kinds going about with their business. It has many branded shops and large supermarkets and lots of things to check out. On the right side..is the calm and quiet neighbourhood of Vijayanagara..which is almost ignorant of its rich and prosperous neighbourhood. The cafe` we found to be good enough is to the right side.. The ironies don't end there. I had once noticed that when its powercut time..one side of the road is brightly lit while the other is plunged in darkness...Also,if you just received your salary ,you tend to head off to the left ..but for the rest of the month you tend to go the opposite way .. :D

Anyway what is more interesting is the immintent mix of cultural attributes, which might occur as the result of a clash of the Titans. Now the process is slow..but would take deadly acceleration in the days to come..I have started to listen to old Kannada songs and even comment on how many of their hits are copies of Mallu ones or sung by Malayali artistes.. hurray to our music gods..

I think I have penned down many things by now..enough na? So let me take leave of you for now.. signing off with

First salaried post..

Hi I had been thinking of writing a post for some time now..

I couldn't find one particular topic on which to write much...but now I am simply writing :)

Just made my first spending with my first salary...that too on household items...:P

Things look pretty ripe for a drastic change...but being unaware of exact magnitude or even type...I am pretty discrete about it.

Life generally looks good and fresh for challenge over here..lots of new things to explore and try..with respect to my career and personal life as well...
I might have changed a lot with respect to my attitude towards many things in life..but I am not a judge of that...time is supposed to carry out that job..

I have found many good friends, and great seniors who carry something in their hearts that burn through even the toughest piece of steel or concrete...and that is nothing but the passion to live life the way they want,the passion to surpass obstacles,and to find success in all walks of life. Even while achieving all these, the biggest achievement is that they haven't lost their humility even a bit.

I feel that I must tell this to all those people who feel they haven't gained anything so far, or are unlucky in life etc etc... when the going gets tough,the tough get going. But even then the passionate ones always have an option to carve a path that distinctly smells of them..in the sense that it would be tailor made for such people, carved with their own sweat and sometimes even blood.
May the good God bless all believers and let lady luck guide the ones who believe in her...and maybe the stars and stones help those helpless fellows .. :P
