Blogging k Side Effects ;)

Do you blog???If yes then you can very well connect to my thoughts...
and Still you dont agree to it...means that you are the strongest soul on the earth :)...

I have been blogging since 2007 , after joining Satyam and being part of the blog-o-sphere there , I understood how your thoughts - which were in your mind (in my case also in my personal diaries)can reach to people with this IT enabled mean.

Though I am proud of my blog..my blog-name and blog- friends I have earned through this journey,there are certain side effects of this hobby-blogging too...

• Previously certain strong rebellious thoughts used to stay in my diary pages and used to RIP with time , now as I blog them (some of them not all ;) ) sometimes it's a I-am- taking -punga-with you - situation occurs.
• I mentioned 'some of them not all' in previous side effect as , no one is going to read your diary and your hate-list or angry-list in it ..but if you put them on your blog...Wohhoo!!! you are going to be famous ;) (you know what I mean)
• When you are in a bad mood and you blog , trust me your well-wishers will get worried reading it after months also and will ask you about it , and some curious minds will follow you to know the exact story of what happened.
• Many a time it happens that you want to blog about 'experiences' you had with your friends , relatives, colleagues  but as they 'follow' you and of course you like it as well and matter of fact apart from that experience you like them also - you can not blog it - or you can not publish the post- and it resides in the Draft folder for eternity.
• There some enthusiastic people who will come and read your blog and then point outs silly spelling mistakes and 'Angreji' problems and forgets about the main motto behind the post - thoughts and also forgets that the URL is just yours - and its your kingdom ( though you owe this to FREE space provided by blogspot - so what? ...kingdom is kingdom ) 
• And see the side effects of blogging in above point - I have to write ;enthusiastic people' and not their names- ya ya...agreed I am not the strongest soul baba....
• Instead of enjoying or hating some incidents , your blogger mind alwayz starts formulating sentences and paragraphs about the event, thinking about how you can convert this incident into the blog-post..I mean that's a good habit but people around you may feel shocked seeing you day- dreaming and may tag you as 'pagal'. ..and if so generous then 'Dhooni' (not Dhoni..see extra O :P )
• I have observed people writing numbers of PS after their post - just to avoid some furious discussions- sometimes the PS says more than the actual blog-post.

Now its my turn PS: this blog post is for fun and please forgive me if at all you find some of the points are re-directing to you..please dont 'un-follow' me on blog - please please.... ;) :) :-D

The Uncommon Common man

He is a common man - who feels bad if India looses , he cries when there are terror attacks , he jumps and smiles with tears when his dream got fulfilled ..then what makes him extra ordinary ??? 

He is among those rare species who never complains about his work/job. 

The brave person who has given his soul to his work- and his work is to make 1.2 bn people smile and proud , his work is to shake the sleeping Indian inside those who have forgotten the fact that not only 15th August or 26th January but everyday should be equally important and fulfilled with pride if you are part of world's largest democracy... A big work ..isn't  it?? 

But he does it with lot of passion and patience. He has been doing this for last 21 years with same courage and happiness on his face without complaining.

People keep discussing about him .. arguing about his abilities ..but he never fought back...he just kept quiet and gave the answer with his performance. 

He has never given any quotations instead people have written enormous things about him but still he has not taken those complements into his head. 

He has that immense aura which mesmerizes his  colleagues who work so hard to  fulfill his dream , to make him smile.

People across the globe pray for him as he walks out to do his job and celebrates when he gets success. 

No matter  what ups and downs he faced , he conquered all odds and came out with glory all the time..

 Who  says life is not like a fairy tale ?? It IS for some people. and if we think deep ..it MUST be for them as they deserve that life.

I wish him all the best for his fantastical life ahead.

What should I say about them .....just God bless them

What your mind thinks at these situations if you were at my place.. ?

Some of the instances where I couldnt even laugh... where I went blank seriously .....and could think of just 3 words...God Bless Them ...!!!!!

Would like to share some of the random incidents ...

How do you react when you find a Yoga teacher with plate full of pickles and heap of spicy subjis and at the same time telling you the advantages of having Popaya juice twice a day???"

How do you react when you find a lady joining "Mahila-Mukti Morcha" kind of organization just to get 'mukti' from household things including taking care of elders and children??

How do you react when a person talks a lot about freedom for girls and the same time snatch away daughter's mobile as some guy messaged her???

Another mind blowing experience I had when I came to know that one of our colleagues is not working at all just because he thinks that Government should pay him 1 Cr or some odd good money then and then only he will work...he comes to office on time...he lefts the office on time..but the whole day he just stares the computer screen...sings some salmaan numbers...writes too many internal notices with all computer lingo and total brand new English which no Oxford Dictionary can de-code..and when questioned about "What have you written?" ..answers "Give a back space!!"..........................now dont stare at my blog..he seriosly answered like that...

Ohhh God..... I couldnt even laugh at that answer..............!!!!!

I have done little bit good (Thats what people say) anchoring in my career and at least I am fortunate that I have attended some of the functions with top class anchors or Master of Ceremony ...and so I felt awestruck when a newbie self proclaimed anchor (!!) with total wrong Gujarati (And also having proud of it...."Ahhh!! Dont you know I am from Convent?" kinda attitude) rudely commented for somebody in the elderly audience ....and then suddenly started discussing taste of the idli-chuttney they served and thickness of the sambhaar ...ohhhh God...please tell that person that its a stage not a kitchen....!!!

Now what happens when you see a live demo of "Angoor to khatte hai!!" story ...

Proud parents of a child with highly low marks, instead of accepting the fact that marks are not everything in life and motivating him/her to progress in a field s/he is interested in forcefully admits him/her in some ordinary engineering college just for the sack of getting the title 'Engineer' and above all criticizes ...highly criticizes the top class college of the State and thanking God in front of people(who are passed of that) for not getting admission in to it ...

Wow!!! I just whispered God bless them !!

Complex situation but hope you got it what am trying to convey ....

Now when you are 'eligible' single and have given the tough task to your parents you come across so many wonderful people with wonderful questions.... thankfully my dad filters them before they come to me ..but one of the incidents I want to quote , a gentle lady called up my papa and after asking merely one or two things about my education and work suddenly shot a question on phone- "How good looking she is? as my son wants just good-looking wify" ....

My witty dad answered " Ohh for all fathers their daughters are Aishwarya Rais and Priyanka Chopras only ma'am" ....

I couldn't believe my ears when my father narrate this incident to me ....and there again i told...God bless them ...!!!

Now I agree that with highly advancement in technology one must think globally and have modern outlook towards life but somehow I became speechless when on a good social gathering where people of mixed age groups were present and 30% were above 75 years -suddenly the singer announced that on a request of 'the' organizer they are performing the next song....and to my great surprise the song was "Shiela ki Jawani" ...!!!! Ohh God....I was freeze on my seat and couldn't dare to look around where all old people were sitting ...

Ahh!! great song selection indeed ............uffff!!!!!

Hmmm....I am not able to re call some other 'God bless them' incidents ....so ending it here ...do tell me if you find better reactions for the situations I faced /observed ...

On the ending note I would seriously want to thank all these people for giving me the distance learning opportunity of 'Behavioral science' ....and also raising my tolerance level so only today I am able to laugh it off at all such situations.... ;) :D

Summary of some memories :)

As the decade is ending I thought to rewind some of the most memorable moments along with some ups and downs of the journey ...The decade is the most precious one as in this decade I have grown up from a school girl to a professional working in a field of renewable energy ..

Each and every year had a story to tell ...

2001 :

:-)

My 10th standard result - scored 94% , awarded as the 'best student of the school' , worked as the 'School pupil leader' of Mount Carmel , enjoyed the last year at school

:- (

The earthquake at Gujarat which highly affected our mind states as papa was posted at Bhuj the very next day , apart from that the battle for the school hunt and tuitions hunt started as Mount Carmel did not have 11 and 12th standard

2002:

:-)

Nice time and learning at the new school "St.Xavier's " , made new friends , took part in various competitions , new vehicle and rakhadam patti on Gandhinagar roads started, Bijal and I became the bestest of friends.

:-(

Exam pressures , my all generals and books got stolen in school & thus taste the first adverse effect of being a leader and the anchor , some of the school time best friendships took shape of hi-hello friendships.

2003:

:-)

Got the 12 th standard results and got admission into my dream college since 1998 -Nirma ('Wow!!- Moment' of my life) and the fantastic 4 year journey begun, a new era of friendship started with lot many people. the 03 EE saga begun ..

:-(

after the 12th standard results a lot of waiting period for admissions and each day came with new uncertainties .

2004:

:-)

New class ,new people , competitions at college , workshops and Electrical labs , lots of assignments- the real feel of engineering started , got my first mobile Nokia 2300 and the SMS talks started , the college trip was amazing and gave a group of life time.

:-(

Not remembering any sad moments..

2005:

:-)

Some of the nice technical presentations at various colleges -the journey of MAGLEV really helped (sudipto thanks to you for that ), got new friends for life during this phase , went to IIT mumbai and understood why it’s called IIT - a superb place to study for sure , enjoyed the Goa trip in the Christmas time, ’Vidhyyut Adbhutam’ gave a memorable experience of organizing the national level tech-fest.

:-(

Not as such sad moments but yes some of the little fights with friends really made me sad at those particular moments..but then eventually with time all izz well..

2006:

:-)

The Wow!-moment-2 came with SATYAM campus recruitment , had some wonderful days at Hi-REL power electronics during our final year industrial training and project and got the real feel of being an engineer while making the circuits and PCBs and struggling to get the pure sine way output.

:-(

Struggle for getting industrial training approval and searching the suitable company, the class room study almost ended as project work started , started missing college friends and group , as the placement started

2007:

:-)

Got my degree and the convocation day was the precious day for my family with all perfecto procession at Nirma , SATYAM joining happened and one of the most beautiful phase of my life started at the city of pearl Hyderabad , got fantastic friends , met the person whom I respect the most –my bestest of friends and elder bro,

And most importantly Blogging started at SATYAM and at blogspot..

:-(

Satyam date of joining got postponed and the batch got divided , the little feeling of going away from home for the first time came in the mind and suddenly realized that the college days are over!!

Also to join or not to join Satyam was the biggest question of that time as I always wanted to be in Electrical field and on the other end Satyam was my first achievement in the campus job..confusions all around!!

2008 :

:-)

THE perfect YEAR , enjoyed every bit of it , new friends , roommates , roaming around in Hyderabad , STC – the royal work place , the perfect set routine in the professional world , my first flight journey happened , new laptop , back account and salary and ATM—Ahh!! Earning while learning IT begun for me ..

Amazing year …can be rated as the MOST happening and happy YEAR of the Decade!!!! J

Also met Siktadidi and like a perfect elder sis she is there and will be there for me as my confidence !!

No sad moments at alllllllllllll

2009:

:-)

V-6 group founded , started thinking about the renewable energy field after coming back to home , motivation from parents and siblings helped me to change my field again back to Electrical.

I understood my mental strength in the bad times.

:- (

Left Hyderabad , the beautiful phase ended abruptly , missing friends di/bhai became routine ,

Struggle for the job change that too in a new field started.

2010:

:- )

Kashmir trip was the amazing part – really loved it , Got the new job in my favorite field Solar energy , ultimate experiences in the new field --along with the technical work radio recording and studio recording made the year fantastic.

:- (

Resigned from home in Satyam and no farewells or adieu mails for me , no friends around in the city.

The year in ending with all positive notes.

The decade was a real superb one and helped me to learn a lot. Met wonderful people and got the memories of life time , bonding with friends got stronger and I pray that with each passing day it grows .

No regrets just a salute to the decade for giving me so much ..

I am surely looking forward to have more wonderful moments in the coming decades for sure ..May the God bless all of us!!

Watch your words!!!

It is said that “If Draupadi (wife of Pandavs) had not spoken anything and If Sita( wife of Lord Ram) had spoken something then the battles of Mahabharat and Ramayan had not been fought”

The meaning is If you understand the epics, then you will come to know that “Andhe ka putra Andha” – statement in a taunt or anger manner by Draupadi to Duryodhan when Kauravs were on their visit to Indraprasth worked as the trigger for the whole Mahabharat battle to prove power and to snatch supremacy.

The same way , If Sita mata had at least said something while the wrong was happening around or can say while “Agni pariksha” was declared for her then the battles had not been fought for rights.

Not digging the history much but just taking some essence from it and coming to my point that ‘Words’ do have power …power in a negative or positive sense based on the words , the situation in which they are used and by whom-- to who --for whom!!

People say anger is a worst enemy but I would rather say the words told in an anger state are the real enemies.

We know some people by their words..as words are the reflection of one’s mind state / thoughts , also ‘how best you can handle your own anger’ also describes the personality you poses , the morals you follow or the spirituality you believe in.

All the time situations are not in your favor, people always not behave the way you want them to be..sometimes the negative aura takes lead role over all your positive fundas .. but still we have to watch what we say and to whom ..

It’s pretty fine to get angry and also if we find that our reason is valid and world must know that then there are plenty of ways to let people understand your thoughts and your mind state. But sometimes the message is conveyed in a wrong manner with lots of things not to be said , and the real matter diverts to the different track.

Lets make it simple …people these days are finding fashions in using ‘shift+number keys’ on their keyboards to express their anger .. but I find it total childish and I really feel horrible when I come across such kind of things , may be I am an old fashion girl with limited vocab and limited expressions to express what I think and feel !!

But , though I don’t believe in imagining first impressions or any impressions , this kind of attitude from many people really force me to correct myself in believing people and their thoughts.

Sometimes harsh words said in anger create a huge impact on the other persons’ mind and even after the apologies or dilute situations then on , the impact created by words can not be easily forgotten , and in the end it also affect the relations slowly.

We de- motivate people sometimes with our words or hurt them , no matter our intension was right or wrong the said words always leave their impressions.

I agree to the fact that life is not smooth for many , but that’s the way it is ..and that’s the way we have to live it and accept it and if one thinks that they can change the situations just by some words filled with anger ..then I would just like to smile at their thoughts !!! Dear , Watch you words , They world may change or not change because of you but surely your attitude and words will speak a lot about your angle towards life.

Value people and watch your words to create your value in their lives.

ભાગદોડ

આંધાળુંકીય ભાગદોડ માં અંતર નથી કપાતું,

ને આ ભાગદોડ માં ભાગ લીધા બાદ , ભાંગી પડવાના અફસોસથી અંતર નથી સમાતું ,

સઘળી સંવેદનાઓ વેચીને બેઠેલાઓ જિંદગીની વેદના કળી નથી શકતા ,

અને એટલે જ અમારા અંતર એમની સાથે ભળી નથી શકતા,

એમની હરીફાઈ માં ભાગવાની મારામાં શક્તિ નથી ,

અને બિન-હરીફ જીતનાર માટે અહિયા કોઈ તકતી નથી !!!

यादें

कुछ घरोंदे बिखर गए

कुछ नए आशियाने जुड गए

एक रास्ते पे चलनेवाले राही ..कही कही मुड गए..

फैली हुई थी सीमाए ..अब दायरे सिकुड गए..

संग संग रहनेवाले लोग अब औपचारिक संबधो में डूब गए
