Everything was clouding around me

Completely lost, I was drowning

There was nothing much I could do

To save myself from falling.

I was searching for a solace

To share my feelings

A person to talk to, hoping -

I could just forget everything.

You came along my way

Talking, laughing and teasing

Made me forget my pains

Changed everything and let all go away.

A stranger, I have not seen

Nor do I know who you are

But you gave me a beautiful gift

More precious than anything in this world.

You offered me friendship

My friend, what more could I ask for ?

Unaware of what has happened

You helped me through and through..

Now, life goes on with you

I keep wondering, for how long?

Knowing, that one fine day

We would part and go our own ways.

But your gift to me remains for ever

Never to be lost or stolen.

And, I would always cherish our memories

Carrying them to the end of my days.

Scribblings on a sunny day....

Sometimes, I can be quite serious... I guess, thats what my previous post was about. Ha....I got back to what I was. And, I'm back in coimbatore for good. For people who don't know where I moved to.... I've joined Cognizant, plz dnt say CTS, well, I dnt know why, but its not called CTS, atleast not anymore, I guess}. Experience in HP was the best (Here, I go again, I'm nostalgic....oh, you know what, I'm not back to what I was.....coz...if I was, I would have written a poem on how I miss HP)===you don't understand these lines, well, well, well,,, skip it please.
Cognizant is good....I'm not telling anything as of yet....I have a lot oppurtunities to grow, and I'm just waiting.....like I wait for my bus when the Shuttle leaves me at my bus stand so that I can take a bus home. It normally arrives with 20-25 mins of me waiting in the bus stand. So, I think, you could just..........

Its another New Year !!!!!

A new year dawns. Every new year has filled me with hope and I step into this year with a hope and a prayer. I leave back my disappointements, my failures, my sadness and all that has to be forgotten. I'm leaving this company I'm working in and moving to a new company, a new role. Its a feeling like standing in a seashore letting the waves hit you and drift towards the sea washing away the sand beneath my feet. There is this sensous feeling when the water touches your feet and there is a sadness when it leaves your feet to join the ocean which is unfathomable. I'm going to miss HP and my friends here.

2007 has been a smooth sail. It has tutored me with some very valuable lessons. I have made new friends, got in touch with friends around the world (thanks to orkut), and lost touch with some of them when they moved on with their life. I have played a safe game. When I look back, I don't really have any regrets, but have the feeling that I should have done some things differently.

Looking onto the new year, I want to change so many things. My confusion to be or not be in the technical field and to take it up as my career still majorily exists. I hope to get this solved by this year end. Choosing not be a part of the literature field, is choosing not to be me and I hate compromises. I understand that there are a lot of decisions that I would need to take. I aspire to do things that I thought I would not be able to do. Sometimes, this thought itself provides you with the strength and courage needed to complete your deeds without fear. I just remember the lines :

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear."

Frustration causes Bewilderment

You want to vent out your anger and that calls for a Team Meeting where there would be an esclation. Little do you know that the person you are escalating on actually has a way of getting the information on what actually happened in the meeting. Hansen in 1991, said that Men react to jealousy with Anger and Women with Depression. I don't intend to convey the message that Team Meetings held are because there was Jealousy lurking in the background or Frustration getting into the heads or me writing this was because I was not included in the meeting..... I am trying to analyze Human relationships in my own way. Sometimes, if you distant yourself from whats happening around and just look at the things that are taking place, you would really enjoy it. You get to see a lot of complex reactions when a group of people are dissatisfied. And the reasons get stronger even more stronger when the Target of the different emotions put together can be aimed at one single Person.

Lets talk about the Complexity of the Situation :

It can be of the environment we are in, character, situation and so forth.

It can also be of thought, feeling, memory, imagination, conventions, culturally-formed ways of thinking and percieving incidents.

This is just the Beginning........................... Wait for further analysis......

Scribblings......

I just look around, and see what is happening ? Just for a minute, i percieve a lot of emotions, or should I say different type of sounds, vocals... These are from my friends, or I should be saying colleagues, which would be the right WORD. I just happen to look at them and wonder, when was the last time, someone was natural. I tend to see so much artificiality, be it talking to an end user or laughing at a joke. Maybe i don't enjoy some of the jokes, but then I dont hear a laugh that comes from the heart. The sound that ripples, the enjoyed moment that goes to your eyes, and gives you - the moment rocked me. The look that would bring a smile on the other person's face.

It just reminds me SUDDENLY of what Oscar Wilde said :
I love acting. It is so much more real than Life.

60th Year of Independence

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection:
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

—from Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore

This is Tagore’s simple prayer for India, prior to her gaining independence from Britain. The universality of this prayer allows it to transcend both time and space. The poem referes to a place where many wonderful qualities exist: fearlessness, knowledge, unity, truth, useful work, reason, and progress..

What was seen during the day of celebration was similar qualities. It was a day which showcased Unity, immense Team Work, and a convivial atmosphere.

Independence day

This year, on Aug 15th, HP-IT had one of the most celebrated Independence Day celebrations.
It was a day filled with a lot of hard work, arbitrary decisions culminating into team work, solidarity, and festivity.
