Hi all šŸ™‚

It is good to be back at writing after a long time, that too in my website šŸ™‚ šŸ™‚ I have literally been waiting for this website to be ready to blog and hence the long gap.

With all due justifications over, I ought to jot down certain stuff here that happened in the meantime:

  • The house warming ceremony, being the first grand family function for us, happened in its full glory but literally drained out the energy out of our family.
  • I had a hard time with my health with all the travel and the work.
  • I came to discover that many relatives of mine still don’t know I have moved from Chennai to Hyderabad.
  • Biggest of all, I got to meet my bro after more than 2.5 years!
  • Had fun in opening up all the presents šŸ˜‰ (God! That was when I fullyĀ realizedĀ I am behaving like the Monica character in the “Friends” TV show in certain aspects)
  • Ah! That reminds me. I have finished watching “Friends” on my laptop. A bit sad that it got over with just 10 seasons.
  • Exchanged mobiles with bro šŸ™‚ Now, handling the Nokia 5230 with as much fun as a new born would handle a rattle. šŸ˜€
  • At last,got over Happy aquarium in Facebook.Phew!
  • Bro got posted to Pune in his new company šŸ™ šŸ™ (Why don’t they let us alone to be in Bangalore???)

I guess that’s it for now.I don’t know the reason but recently I think I have been wanting to write movie Ā and book reviews in here. However, haven’t watched any good movie that’s worth a review and I don’t think I am ready for a book review without first trying out with movies-the shorter and the easier! So,hoping to be back with something good.

Until then šŸ™‚

Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind

December 9, 2010 / / 5 Comments

Hi PeopleĀ šŸ™‚

Ā This has been dormant in my mind for a while and hence the movie with name as the title of this post triggered it up. For those who have seen the movie, let me say, my post is not exactly in line with the movie. I am just having the plot around which the movie revolves as the crux of my post. Analogies and comparisons vary here.

Ā So, How many of us have wished to forget certain things/persons that/who have happened in our life? Or even it might be things that you would have done in the past, which gives you a frown for the rest of your lives when you think about it. Mostly each of us would have such instances ranging from the silly ones to extremely grave ones. Also, the one question that will linger around in your head will be-ā€œHow better it would have been if I had not done that/How better it would have been if that had not happened? At the most extreme cases, even we might be happy if we are able obliterate the incident.

Human memory is the most fascinating one. It will make you the happiest by remembering certain stuff and it will also make you go crazy by remembering certain stuff which you donā€™t want to. We might have fantasies of erasing just that part of our lives and continue our lives as if nothing happened. I am not sure if these fantasies have been madeĀ practically possible as shown in the movie (It might have happened with the racing technology). My point here is the fact that you cannot fight natural stuff because certain things are meantĀ to be the way they are-even if that gives you endless regret and sorrow.

I can say this for sure because I have had experiences and I have unspeakable mistakes to regret, as many among us do. We all have tried to get on with life as if nothing happened. However, the truth turns out to beĀ that we get over the issue but not over the fact that we did it. We can think of it without the slightest of the effect it once had on us in all aspects except the aspect of regret. That ā€œDamn!! Why couldnā€™t I have refrained from doing that stuff?ā€ still exists. I think, It is because we hold a high esteem of ourselves always and now wheneverĀ we try to maintain it, our conscience will poke us and say-ā€œHey you! You are not that good a person. Do you remember what you did during that incident?ā€ and all of a sudden there is nothing that we would not give in our life to make that one mistake right.

Actually, when you have gotten over a mistake or something bad, you should beĀ able to laugh at your mistake without a tinge of any bad feeling. This is the hard truth. The reason-ā€œForgiving is an art, It might be difficult to master it but if you try, you can. Sadly, forgetting is beyond our scopeā€. So, I think the better way to do it is to forgive yourself/others when things get out of hand. Thatā€™s all we have in our hands. Maybe, if we deserve, we might get a chance to reach a stage Ā as good as totally obliterating the unwanted memories in our mind. As you ponder on it, I might as well ask you to be careful and not cause any regrettable incidents in your loved onesā€™ lives because that way, it becomes harder. You have enough trouble trying to forgive yourself and forget your mistake than having to try to make another mind to forgive and forget a mistake of yours.

All these are my reflections on seeing the movieĀ ā€œEternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mindā€ and doing some serious pondering over human memory. So, I might be as wrong as I might be right about the whole thing.

Ā Until later šŸ™‚

Random musings

November 16, 2010 / / 5 Comments

Hi all šŸ™‚

A Strange thought occurred to me and I was pondering for so long on it and still not yet found an answer. Currently, my office communicator status is-ā€œLife is simple, donā€™t complicate it!ā€ However, I am really thinking if it is really theĀ vice-versa thatā€™s true. Movies show lives that are much easier and knots in life which are much easier to untie. Even in the society, many take life to beĀ so simple or seem to take it so. However in reality, oneā€™s own life doesnā€™tā€™ seem so (at least, not for me :P) So I guess my status should be-ā€œLife is not that simple, donā€™t you dare take it easy!ā€ Darn, thatā€™s too pessimistic. So for now, I am not let this thought bug me anymore and let my status be unchanged at least for the optimism it might instill in meĀ  šŸ™‚

Another nagging thought in my pensieveĀ recently is about tears. Generally, tears would either mean sadness or extreme happiness (Tears of joy), the former being more prominent. Many people might think it is cowardly to cry or something of that sort. Even some might take pride in the fact that they have never cried. Yet somehow, all along my life, tears have helped me. What I mean is that, if I cry till I want to, I will feel better by such a great extent. I will be able to forgive anyone who caused it (if there was anyone). I will be able to forget the hurt. Even many times, I have felt like crying just to relieve the stress building up in me (stress may be anything varying from day-to-day work pressure to fights with loved ones). Some people might think that we are allowing ourselves to get hurt by crying and hence end up hurting ourselves. I feel differently. Even if I allow myself to get hurt by someone, by crying I get back leaving all unworthy memories behind. So, ignoring the advice given by many, which is ā€œBeing a bold girl that you are, you should not cryā€, I will cry if I want to and if I feel like and I will definitely make sure if I am crying for anyone, that person is worthy of my tears [This paragraph might have been total non-sense to some of you. Sorry for that]

Nowadays, I want to blog but am not just hitting upon topics to blog. If at all I hit upon a topic, I donā€™t get the content racing through my mind. I hate that feeling. Maybe my mind has become too lazy, got to refresh it with a good book (And, am still guilty about not finishing ā€œBetween the assassinationsā€ though I have waded through more than half of the book. Maybe the book is pulling me down due to its way of blending all the happenings in different personsā€™ lives)

I am working on creating my own purchased domain with the help of AdhiĀ and might move my blog there once the groundwork is done. This is an advance notice for you all. šŸ˜›Ā Of course, a Ā formal post about moving the blog would come up. šŸ™‚

Until later šŸ™‚

Spontaneous!!

October 26, 2010 / / 8 Comments

Hi people šŸ™‚

I have always wanted to write a post without wracking my brains to find the perfect way to present my words. This is my first try at writing asĀ wordsĀ race aroundĀ my mind and let us see how it goes.

The weekend was simply awesome and I can’t tell you reasons for that šŸ˜›

Yesterday and today at office-as hectic and irritating as ever,yet I am recently picking up on learning to shrug off irritations(I suppose) šŸ˜‰

Have regained my obsession with Happy Aquarium on facebook.In addition to me being addictive to the game, am alsoĀ having a loved slave who feeds and trains my fish šŸ˜›

I cannot just bear when people around me want me to make decisions for them. I just hate such people who cannot decide what theyĀ want or have to do and ask others’ guidance for each and every possible crap.

I came toĀ realizeĀ that “Certain people never change!!” and that they are capable of utter stupidity.

I got a hell a lottaĀ gifts forĀ this bday and every one of them was great. I never got so many wishes (Thanks to FB-my wall got flooded withĀ around 64Ā wishes-yeah I counted them :P)Ā as onĀ this 20-10-2010. Thanks a lot ppl šŸ™‚

I cannot help wondering how people turn out to beĀ when I keep thinking that they cannot be like that.Ā I have had a lot of impressions or say, nice opinions about my classmates at college and they proved me wrong. This has happened more than once for me and every time it was guys who did that.

I decided not to tell anyone about writing this post, but failed at this(Told a friend that am doing this post, just because he asked “what are you doing?”-Come on, I was being spontaneous while writingĀ a spontaneous post and told him the truth) šŸ˜›

I really want to learn typing without looking at the keyboard.(I type reasonably fast yet, I can’tĀ type without looking at the keyboard) Praveen made thisĀ craze grow even more with his superfast fingers.

I am sitting at office and doing this post, just because the person who has to give me instructions on proceeding about the work isĀ  “Away”. Also, I might be held up at office until 10.00 P.M. today and I totally hate it.

I love shiny,glassy things and go crazy about them.

IĀ go into this “oh no! Not again!” moodĀ when my dad starts advising me and thenĀ again feel guilty for being so.

I am a spendthrift. Every monthĀ I spend money senselessly and at the end of the month, i bug AdhiĀ to help me manage my accounts and sort them out for the next month. This month might be better because of Adhi’sĀ “Expenses” spreadsheet where every penny I spend is accounted.

Missing RamyaĀ even moreĀ after meeting up with her just recently. She is my ditto as you might have known from an earlier post and I love that “ditto” nicknameĀ  which she invented for herself šŸ™‚

I guess my spontaneity is coming to an end as I don’t get any more random thoughts to my mind.

I am thinking that you are bored to the core already.Yeah! I mean you! *Pointing you*

IĀ started readingĀ the bookĀ Ā “Between the Assassinations by “AravindĀ Adiga” last month and haven’t finished it yet. That’s because I didn’t read it for more than 1 day from when I bought it.However,Ā I am feeling bad now because I never leave a book unattended to. Hoping to finish it soon šŸ™‚

Okay.Ā I have bored you people enough. As the same thought became redundant in my mind and hence the post, am stopping here and posting it without even previewing the post. šŸ™‚

Until later šŸ™‚

P.S: This post was edited once for good reasons.
