I was sitting in traffic in my car listening to music and thought of writing a post on it.
I remember that day I was with anil bhaiya when he bought a Fiat padmini and came to our house with sweets. Such a nice car then we had numerous ride on it on various days. And then one day I went with him to his office and while comming back we stopped to collect some money from bank. Anil Bhaiya asked me to stay in the car while he comes fast.
I was sitting in the car and 5 mins later it started raining. I guess it was one of first after scorching heat which Patna has to suffer. I was delighted and all of a sudden I saw the music system installed in the car. And guess what it had a cassette of Deewana sung by Sonu Nigam!!! That's it, I am playing it on full volume. I loved that 5 mins like being in heaven. Water all around but not getting wet. Watching different activities people are doing and listening to nice songs what else could you want.
I still cannot be overwhelmed more than that feeling in whatever car I am sitting or wherever I am.
Adios Padmini....

My Fate
Its my life. Its my decision. I have chosen this. And if I wish I can change it.
Easier said than done. Its such a pain to live like this. I want to do somethings I don't want to do some other things. Few things should happen or should not have happened in my life. Things I planned but could not execute. Things I planned executed but did not get the desired results. Things I did not plan but it did happen. And it did not happen for good.
Or may be it did...
As you have guessed I am talking about control. Control of your life by yourself.
As rightly said by Gaalib
Hazaron Khwahisein aise ki har khwahesh pe dum nikle...
Thousands of desires, every desire a killer...
Now answer of all these problems could be controlling yourself and do not decide, wish or choose. Accept what is given to you. Accept the fate. Be a looser or winner. Its just a state of mind. if becoming a looser helps you and brings peace may be you are better of.
But I refuse. I refuse to take all those sh**s. And even if I am a looser and not happy I would choose my life. I would not let anyone else to decide my life.

Year 2008 Ahead...
Hello and Happy New year 2008 to you and your family. May god fulfil all your wishes this new year and bring peace in your life And I hope every one wishes the same for me he he.
As a retrospect I would say Year 2007 was very unsettling for me.
Few important things happened in my family life like brothers marriage and then him becoming dad. Few very upsetting moments in life and some nice moments. For me it was a true self journey going through loads of drama, action and love.
Career wise it was kind of get nothing loose nothing. I had tough time while working in a multicultural environment as a foreigner and surviving was the key. I was even awarded for my work this year. Although I didn't get any monetary benefit or raise in position still I feel better as a person and can say that I have survived and I will survive.
Physically I have lost 3 Kgs of weight but this is very recent. I think i need to spend more on food this year.
Mentally I can say that I have more EQ now then ever. I have detached myself from lots of things and primarily I care about things which really matters to me. This does not mean I have become rude or uncaring. I still care but I don't bother much when things are not under my control or I cant help even if I wish to do so.
So What do I expect in year 2008:
A. Career : I definitely need to go ahead and make some new achievements this year. Need to have more income and better profile. Will work on it and prioritise this.
B. Better Home : Its time to stabilise myself and provided something better happens to my career wont mind settling in a new house.
C. Mentally : Getting better on IQ and EQ. Some new life skills.
D. Physically : Not bothered much as long as I live healthy.
E. Luxury : Will reward myself at least once this year with something luxurious.
Hey I want you to enjoy and wish you achieve your goals.
Best of Luck...

Problems
First of all I want to say that I am going to write this small essay because my dear Nikesh (owner of this blog) asked me to do it although my writer skills are quite bad, but due to the fact that he thinks I have a passive position I will write a little bit and dedicate this to him.
As the title suggests, I am going to write about problems and more specifically if problems are really problems or the meaning of that word is a little bit unprecise.
Problems come alone, you don't have to look for them, that is something everybody knows but, do they really come alone? In my city we say "Problems always bring something else with them" It may be another problem...or not.
I think all depends on how we take problems. We have two options when we face a problem:
1. We can take it very bad.We will only see the black part of the situation and think there is no solution.That's one of the sitiations when a problem bring another problem and we see all even blacker if there would be something blacker than black! This is the moment when we think it isn't logical, that those things shouldn't happen (and less to oneself) and...of course it souldn't happen but all is logical in this Universe and if it happens it could be because you deserved it, because it had to happen or because, as it happens most of the times, it bring you an opportunity, if you know how to see it. And now we can move to another point.
2. We can take it as something that had to come. It is not that we take it gleefully because I still don't know anyone who get happy when s/he has a problem...but well, as I was saying, if we just try to be optimistic and look for a solution this is when we realise that problems can also be a good way to improve and to grow. As we say in my city ( as you can see my city, Murcia, is very rish in proverbs jeje) " No hay mal que por bien no venga" which basically means that there is no bad thing that doesn't come for a good one. With this I mean that logos ( the strench that tidies the Universe) always works if we help a little.
Of course we can also stay passive, thinking that time cures all (another proverb of my city) but most of the times if we don't search for solutions nobody will do it for us. One day ago someone told me that we cannot sit and wait, we have to act. And it is very true. If you act all the strenths of Universe come together to help you as Paulo Coelho says.
To finish, and also because I don't want to keep boring you more and to fill all Nikesh' blog, I just want to give you an advice: BE HAPPY and TRUST but never forget that only you are the owner of your life and if you don't control it, it will wander nobody knows where until it stops and it makes you feel your life was useless.

Religiousity
Sunday afternoon, had nice lunch and then sitting on sofa... Nice.. very nice...
Room mates came and started talking about girls, whisky, clubs dancing.. better...
then we started to talk about food and there came a topic for halaal and haraam etc...
One of the house mate said my parents are Hindu but i dont follow religion and then the other guy said oh aren't you going to convert to Islam.. And he replied yes soon... then he said he does not like Hinduism as it has 13 million deities and gods with ten head and 14 hands etc. etc..
Hmm. he is right in some sense. He mentioned sati (Women sitting on pyre after her husband death) and other practices which a Hindu swears by.
So what should we do? should we label Hinduism as a funny religion with funny practices? Well the answer is NO. I have no doubt that Hinduism has some problems ( Its just my view) but they are not because it preaches that. Its because of people who follow Hinduism and cant interpret some aspects of it.
Every religion in my opinion has one motto. Live like humans. They teach you correct way of living. They tell you what to eat and what not to, they tell you what to wear, how to spend money etc.
Hinduism as a religion does the same. The practices which were right at one point of time can be wrong another point. And that's why religion need to get updated. It is the same with Hinduism.
it needs to be revived. the unique part of Hinduism is that we don't have one central point (like pope ) who decides (mostly in democratic way) what should be changed and what new things could be in place. Hinduism is very dynamic and it's been changed by practices done by its followers.
Now the funny things like gods with 4 hands or 10 heads are basically a way to immortalize a person who has lead his life in a great way and we should follow him. we say this god has 10 heads because that person was super genius. Now why idolization of god is a big debate. Its actually depends on the person who wants to see the god to believe it. we as Hindu believe that those people existed and did good for mankind. we dint had camera to take their photos then so we have to use our imaginations. Somebody like Krishna was amazingly charming so he had 16000 gfs. He was a great musician and I believe was a person(became God) who gave Hinduism a new way of life like "Karm karo fal ki chinta mat karo" implying we should do what we think should and we can and not bother much about the failures. He was more close to humans than other gods and was very recent. This certainly tells you that in Hinduism we have different gods at different times or ages because at that point of time there was a different situation and different way of living was required.
We have also adopted Buddha as one of the avatars as he came and gave another idea and way of living. Of course some people just followed him and made another religion. Like Christianity got divided in catholic and protestants
At the end I would say that it is a great religion to follow. people who say its bad are the one who don't know it. So we don't bother about them and let them as they want to live another way and its their choice which is again a part of humanity which Hinduism believes. Live and Let live.
