Advice, disclosures, revelations....
They come in every form, uncle aunty, dad, mom, books, neighbour, friend, stripper.
Though the only importance we give, these revelations and advices is a means to realize that we ain't Deaf.
This particular divulgment did make me realize I need to be a fighter.
There are two kind of trees the one the carpenter prefers and the one that he doesn't. An expert carpenter knows his tree just by the feel of its bark and the sound of a tap,The two trees that (good and the ugly) were classified on a very interesting illation. The tree that grows on a canyonside and the one that grows in a backyard. Trees on the canyon side has no master or caretaker to manure it and handle the growth, instead only the grimness of nature and animals, and above all veerapan.
On the flip side the backyard tree always has the owner to trim, hold and manure, kids to water and climb at times guard dogs too. The canyonside is always the preferred one. You or me may not have been a canyonside plantain but we can always try to be one, atleast you can say, "I was planted in a backyard but now i grow by the canyon".
The carpenter will pick you.

MACHINE:

MUSCLE:

Lets help the Gr 'N' eedy
Spent some time reading the contrast between rich and poor as told in pictures.It is really touching, "disturbing" can be a simile.
If you feel a bit heavy within then this is not for you to read it sure made me want to do something, though i have always felt exhausted after thinking about "what to do" this particular site put some more insights into my list that same exhaustive list. Painting a school and planting few trees in an NGO called Children's Lovecastles Trust (CLT) makes a difference, that when done out of interest and self motivation, not because some freaks in an MNC thought it'll lift their brand image.
Yesterday we went to the same place from our office for "social service"..and my boss defines it as ....

Do note that this is important initiative for Cisco and all your hours spent would be greatly appreciated.

The intent is very clear,
The mention of "video" drained a few bugs from the feminine cult in my office, for a vain attempt in looking good.
I am not surprised to know that the event will be in news papers.
"CISCO helps the needy"
sadly I will also be in the picture.
When I think of authenticity on the subject, I wonder if there is any probity in my thoughts .................??
should I be writing some thing like this ..........??
I don’t know.
Thought/concern is the fuel,....action is the thrust..

the Self "YOU" choose "YOU"rself
"if you think about what you don't have, you have nothing".
but if you think of what you have, then you don't have to think about what you don't have ".
A quote self designed when I was on the bike with a friend and we needed to talk something.
This quote turned out to be like, a painting, which you name only after you have finished it.
"Oh, now it looks something like a pig in mud, though it should have been a cow in the meadows, so let me name it oink its fun "!
After saying the line I wondered, why I said that. Was it the phone call to a friend of mine who means a lot or was it the two large RC whisky.
What ever was the reason? It was meant to be said, on that bike, at that moment.
Hence triggering a saga of discourse to gauge the spoken, the pros and cons added up to an interesting menu of life.
We can contort the quote to any extend....I did, though I haven't reached a conclusion........not YET!
Words in this quote can be judged and decided by two kinds of people.
The kind who equate "what you have" directly to "Materialism" and the others who relate it to simply "what you have".
"HOW and WHO should perceive this quote?”
One side of the coin can be seen in a way I feel, is not correct (though being a human I end up doing the same)
The quote can be equated directly to the amount of "Materialism" incised in a person.
If a person refers to the quote with respect to monetary and other pleasures, then he/she refers his/her "everything" to the pinnacle of Materialistic achievements. Let me explain,
Those who feel that owning a 59inch flat screen plasma TV is "everything" can be defined in this set of people. But the moment his neighbor buys a 79 inch, his sense of "everything" is lost.
A person stooped to this side of the coin always discovers higher mantras of materialistic pleasures, triggering a never-ending loop always culminating in the lap of death.
Then again, is it bad to be materialistic?.....
Ask me and I will say NO. Being materialistic is not bad, because I believe in being happy and if “materialism” makes you happy then fine with it…… but I ain’t happy now.
Flip side .
A person who believes in being happy as per the latter part of the quote-
"but if you think about what you have, then you don't have to think about what you don't have ",
can such a person be termed as a looser, who is satisfied with what he has and not want anything more and be colligated as lazy, someone who finds an excuse for not achieving or will he be termed as a 'yogi' who has reached the pinnacle of satisfaction?
There are lot of judgments here, and all of it will be cleared only of you mange to relate yourself to one of them, otherwise it is a punch-bag anybody can lay their thoughts on.
Answers can be found through conjunction of "comparison" and "YOU".
"comparison"--> as in, not what I have mentioned above, but as to how and what you compare with "satisfaction" and
"YOU"-->..........well I guess it’s up to YOU to decide on that.
You have to cross the Rubicon some time, the earliest the better (for good or bad).
Even before reaching this line, you must have decided on the level of RUBBISH I have driveled, at least you have foun in the gramatical also spelling mishtakes in this drivel. If not then a few questions have been raised about the nature of "YOU".
After reading the drivel, it triggered a series of questionnaire as to, if it is another charade of a freak who will end up as a yogi or a 79-inch possessed....???? NO, I don’t think so, cos I haven't chosen my side of coin yet.
Have you?
NOTE:
Now that you have read so much let me just tell you, I was jobless when I penned this, absolutely jobless.
but if you think of what you have, then you don't have to think about what you don't have ".

The class is back.
Another movie to add to my list of "excellent" graded movie in Malayalam.
After "Paithrhukam" this was the only movie that has made an impact."Paithrukam was released sometime in the late 90's and yes that was the last mallu movie I watched with the brain of a critic,movie enthu, and above all a MALLU.
My scattered movie habits can be blamed on the movie makers, who have been very happy emulating the rest of the crowd, movies that make a FAT ugly guy (the age of my DAD) do a salsa or maybe get some FAT women to seduce you, sneakily fill their pockets.(no malice intended towards the FAT)
The feeling you get after watching a good movie,I had lost that from malayalam mavies long ago."Karzcha", brings us hope.
The theme, and style of movie making which deservedly bagged "National Awards" are back.Blessy Ipe Thomas has got that class.I was even more touched beause of the backdrop "kuttanadu",something personal about this place.
I could end the evening with a "wha what a movie" note ,just like any 'shyamalan' or 'quentin' movie.
BTB my mom hada tear in her eyes after the curtains fell!

Bleat of the professionals!
This write, is a conversation between Anoop and his client on the mornig of 13th Oct 2004.
It was another of those days when you get up and realise what you job is and how much you hate it.
You manage to drag yourself to the bathroom and find there is no power,shower in bone-chilling water.
Hopefully I'll make it on time for the con-call with my god damn client in irwin-California, he never sleeps and never lets poor Anoop.."late" here means NO BREAKFAST.. forget half of what to say in the meeting and a grumpy FAT boss ......as ususal.
Managed to get to office, bang time for the call.
To begin with, the usual
"Hi, Mike how are you ......"
"I'm fine, how are you Anoop..."
I'm fine too ..."..blah blah blah....bllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah .....alrgth lets start.
Anoop:"Mike, regarding the mail you send me yesterday, the development server did not throw any erroneous messages even when the builder was open, even IIS services were switched off. Could you please look in to the log files created during the run......................
brrrr crrrrr meeeeeee tweeeeee twong twong......twooooooooooooooong..
hello ,hello mike you there... mike .. hello....
mike:ya hi
Anoop:what happened.
Anoop:something went wrong suddenly , i could not hear you
mike:nothing is wrong we were talking and still talking
anoop:ok, must be the lines
mike:i hope you still there
anoop:yes i m here
mike:when did u get there
anoop:i came a while ago
mike:why did u come
Anoop:what ?
mike:is sabbir there
anoop:who sabbir?
mike:who are you
anoop:is that you mike
mike:this is "bakersfield" right? (latter i found out it was some god damn store in the white ass land)
anoop:what...this is Anoop and sir you manged to call India.and this is no hmm whatever....!!!
mike(now on xyz):India!!!??? .. oh my god.. ...........
xyz:but i love india
Anoop:ya dude so do I ....
clink!
and so the "Interesting call" ended..............
Adds up, for one more story to ammuse the rest of the BAREs in a lunch meeting or just impress my FAT boss, and witness his fake smile...(why don't you go and jump into a pit of rotten tomattoes and stay there till you drown...my-BIG-FAT Boss)
anyway......
Latter-on, I get a mail from mike asking for an explanation...pooh "explanation" for what.
like any other BARE-professional I send him a polite reply abt what happened, and i' m sure he would have thought it's something gone wrong with we Indians...as always ...aplication not workin "indians coded, you see", what abt you goin wrong when you gave us the requirement u white freak...(lets not get all Emotional here now)
so like i was saying....
All this did make a difference,yes it sure did .....Anoop had a smile on his face..
gee.. fun beign a soft-BARE professional

HOME and house the disparity
Things get worse by the day, My inner crib is eating me and when it emties me from inside thats when i go home.
Cant wait to get back to amma and pappa, not that its gonna add any value in any sense just that the "HOME FEEL" makes a big difference.
No way I want to shore up with the thought of, your girlfriends-arms or your best friend or any superlative crap ,giving you "THE COMFORT" cos nothing, and nothing like your HOME will give that feel of bliss.HOME.....where that special room of yours is, where you are made to listen to parental disclosures ,where your dreams bud, where you have YOUR piss pot..boy i miss it.
Alrgth can't blog more with my manager around so will try to put down latter in the day when the ass hole goes back home.
