I AM THE CHANGE....

11:24 A.M.

5th june,2010....

before starting, i would like to thank everyone in LOC to come up with such a beautiful concept...where we came together...discussed..quarrelled...laughed at each other...spent some of the beautiful evenings together...the lawn...the canteen...on the personal note, i came to meet 15 varied persons....people with their own traits, unique speciality, special talent....i had and i still have the previlege to interact with the concepts, the ideas that these have in them.....one year has passed..but thanks to this blog we know where we are...what is going on each others life....

one among us is going to be the flying officer.....yes flying officer meenakshi singh is going to be inducted into the indian air force....heartiest congratulations to the young lady....

questions in mind:

the naxalite problem....why so much of innocent people are dying....what are the problems....why the naxalites have gone to a killing spree....what are the problems they are facing...why they have taken such a radical way to change the system.....why they are frustrated with the democratic system...how to remove the corruption......what happened to Gandhi....why people have left the concepts of ahmisha....why there is so much restlessness in our country.....is there any problem with our ideologies....india needs its youth....india needs to rise.....to discover its past glory.....can we ,as privileged citizens of this nation, contribute....we are privileged that we got the education....we have the privilege to eat three times.....all the basic amenities are fulfilled and remember that we are getting all this at the expense of someone else.....locians kuch karo na yaar desh ke liye.....start by debating on the problems..may be we will come up with optimum solution...we have to accept that there is a rising india but there is another india which is growing weaker....which is hungry....which is filled with anxieteis of day-to-day life......

i quote these lines .........

mast yogi hain ki hum sukh dekh kar sab ka sukhi hain....

kuch ajab mann hai ki dukh dekh kar sab ka dukhi hain......

i feel restless......i want to do something for my country....i want to....i feel the pain...i feel hurt.....my nation needs me.....

i dream....yes i dare dreaming.....when i dream, i desire and when i desire, my dream culminates into reality....aaj mann mein hausla hai.....aaj mann mein utsah hai...aaj mann mein umnag hai....aaj is desk ko phir se gandhi ki jarurat hai.....i will walk...i will run...i will do...i will try....i will fail....and i will fail again...and again...and again...but at the end of everything i will have the satisfaction that i did something....and remember what ever we do it never goes waste.....aap jo bhi karte hain...that remains.. that affects the energies and people around you....i see in myself gandhi....i am gandhi and i will change the face of our times.....

GANDHI...

Hello everyone

After quite a long time i am into writing a blog...i thought i would not write anything till i get a 'settlement'...i wont justify my reason of not writing...just aise hi socha tha....abhi settlement to ho gaya...for the time being of course...i got through itm navi mumbai....it got it thru mat score.
Because i screwed up in cat,xat and jmet..nmat mein written clear ho gaya..but in gd and pi i was kicked out...in between thought of joining petroleum university in dehradun as i cleared the gd and pi,then in bangalore also i got chance in one college...but itm is the best option in hand....i know most of you know these things...thoda revision bas....
Bohot kuch hua last 10 months....mumbai,doomed career,sachin, my nephew.....ups and downs....tears and tensions....smiles and sighs....sometimes it was painful...depressing...specially after repeated failure...when you are unable to meet the expectations of yourself ....you get to know that your freinds are getting placements and you are consoling yourself saying,apan ka bhi time aayega....you are trying hard to convince your parents about your capabilities and everytime they meet disappoimtment....but at the end of the day there was a thin ray of hope....there was a fitm belief that winter always turns to spring.....and i kept going....
Next two years fir se padhai...completely out of the track....beech mein lamba sa break ho gaya...it will be difficult initially to resume studies...i am not staying in the college hostel...will stay in private hostel,that too most probabaly in nerul or belapur...two stoppages apart...either i have to travel by train or by bus....mba is very hectic...as jijaji says...
But this time no more chances i can take....bohot ho gaya hasi majak...i mean i realize now, my whole process of studying in nerist was faulty...i always studied to secure marks...and the grading system out there helped me...but the whole process was so commercial...somewhere i failed to percieve the beauty of the subjects... the beauty of inhereting the knowledge....
Sometimes i get perturbed thinking how far i am doing justice to my last 6 years...but i cant let myself keeping on lamenting on this thought....from the sufferings only shayad...kahi se confidence aa gaya hain that this time...history wont repeat itself...i mean i am not that dumbo!!!!!
There are abundant experiences...met so many people...travelled so much....the most thrilling experience was that of standing at the edge of the door holding the rod in a local train...kya karu...bohot bhir thi...lost paths so many times....akele akele i walked a lot....and yes...the radical change in me... i gained weight...i am no more the thin and lean and weak poly....ha ha ha:-)
I am in touch with so many people...it feels good to know about everyone....mumbai mein aaoge to do contact me please...will meet and have fun..rohit se mili thi...he is same only...
Kaafi lamba ho gaya na(this i do everytime,i write lamba and then i pretend to regret!)...actually all piled up from such a long time!
But guys, i feel,at this point of time, there is a reason to evrything in life....there is an answer to everything..its on us to search it...abhi bhi bohot kuch hain...bohot kuch jaan ne ka...sun ne ka...picture to abhi baaki hai boss!!
Take care everyone...
with regards and prayers,
Poly

Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis

Dont just have career or academic goals.
Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions. "Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die. One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices........." :)
"Don't be serious, be sincere."!!

hi,

Its been a year since we departed. sometimes we talk on phone but that can't make us feel like we used to talk together. Infosians are a bit lucky. i have a bit alienated for some time. Many pple have comments of no blogging,no comments.. before i start i would write about my m-tech..
I have digital comm branch here.. we have 13 members out of that 10 boys and 3 gals. so the sex ratio is around 333 which is better compared to most m-tech classes..most of us are from various states but i have the distinction of coming from a far away place..pple used to wonder how i came here.. even professors used to ask why i took admission here why not nit sichar or iitg..somehw i got mixed up with the pple as my very nature is..
Ever since i came over here i have watcehed around 100 movies in various theatures.. not only this every movie is scanned at least twice with 'my name is khan' having seen total 6 shows, two on the very first day.. apart from movies we used to visit various sites in and around bhopal.. i can trully claim bhopal is a beautiful city with 54 lakes in and around the city.. of them BADI JHIL is the biggest with an area that can encompass both nirjuli and naharlagan.. we have visited many of them.. also there are many dams nearby and have been our favourite Pastime on holidays.. you can chech my pics at orkut and appreciate the beauty..
it could be a huge blog if i go on writting..
i have been reading all your blogs.. sachine has been writing good his latest thriller being on each and every process occuring on eartn.. don't know why..keep it up.. may be ur thought process could provide solutions for latest problems india is facing.. saurav has been doing good work sharing infy photos, btday treats, latest developments.. pd always gives comments. thanks dude.. meenu has srated blogging as well.. paro has written about some great concerns.. keep it up... updating your latest developments..
LOC will rock..
Have fun..
Enjoy..

somewhere in the middle of my thoughts...

why we are here? why we become friends with each other?why we love? why we learn? why people around us behave as they do? why we talk? why we pray? why we question? why we blog? why we quarrel? why we hate? why we get angry? why we feel depressed? why we feel elated? why people die? why we took birth? why the sun rises? why it sets? Dawn follows dusk or dusk the dawn? why we sleep? why we dream? why we act? why we write? why we read? why we play? why tears tickle down when we get touched by a beautiful thought? why tears come out when we lose something? when i sit idle, why these questions come in my mind? why mind wanders here and there? why i took birth?

 sometimes in life ...what you do don't have any reasons....sometimes you don't need any reasons....but people do spend their lives in finding the reasons....

why i am writing all this??

and this time i know why i am writing this...i want me to think....i want you to think.....think without any reasons.....can we change the world? and for doing that do we need a reason?

Just a passing thought .... (Oscar Wilde)

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world....

be always happy!!

Sometimes in life u feel so blue,
But someone somewher is not happy as u.
Somewhere far at the border when a soldier sleeps,
Missing his loved ones he silently weeps.
Somewhere a mother painfully sighs,
Coz her new born baby didnt open his eyes.
Somewher a poor dad silently cries,
When he sees his son begging for a bowl of rice.
Somewhere in an orphanage a little girl is sad,
When she misses her mon n dad.
So at times a season to smile you may not have any,
Say to urself that u are happier than many.
Coz life is beautiful and its not always blue.....
As someone somewhere is not happy as you.....!!!
Take care all of u!
Miss u all!

So friends plan accordingly and make sure that you be there.:-)

see you all there.:-)

Dancing when you are Home Alone !!

Get your groove on strong.

Yes, lock that door, shutter those blinds, and crank that bumping thumping music, Dost. Because it’s time to get down with the get down:

• The Microphone. Big Spoons are ideal but there are good substitutes like toothbrushes, combs, or even a bulky plastic hair dryer. Just don’t trip on the cord.

• The Crowd. It’s all about mirrors. Nod and let them nod right back at you. Watch them mouth the words and raise their fists with yours. What a beautiful audience.

• The Critics. There are none! This is the best part. Nobody says you’re singing out of key so just wail till you can’t wail no more. For bonus points get your voice so loud and wild it scratches the back of your throat.

• The Wardrobe. You’ve got a few costume options including the classic ripped raggedy T-shirt and pair of faded sweats. There’s also only, or even, well… you know. Relax, you look great. Time to rock out.

Yes, we’ve all been home alone and sometimes it’s fun to lose yourself in the moment.

After all, maybe you’re hanging with a heavy heart, burning with a hot temper, or just snowed in after a bad day. If there’s a black cloud hanging ugly over your head there’s no cheaper cure than having a solo dance party in the comfort of your place.

Some come on and turn it on, crank it up, and just get into the world of being……

AWESOME!

This one is interesting !!

Slow Down Culture: There is a smart change around the world,the way we work !!

It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience.

Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule.
Globalize processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results.
Therefore, we have come to possess a need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.

Said in another words:
1. Sweden is about the size of San Pablo, a state in Brazil
2. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants.
3. Stockholm has 500,000 people.
4. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, Nokia are some of its renowned companies. Volvo supplies the NASA.

The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn't say anything, either the second or third. One morning I asked, 'Do you have a fixed parking space? I've noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot.' To which he replied, 'Since we're here early we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door. Don't you think?...... ......... ........Imagine my face.

Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe name Slow Food. This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing. Slow Food is against its counterpart: the spirit of Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.

Basically, the movement questions the sense of 'hurry' and 'craziness' generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of 'having in quantity'(life status) versus 'having with quality', 'life quality' or the 'quality of being'. French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more productive than Americans or British. Germans have established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity been driven up by 20%...This slow attitude has brought forth the US’s attention, pupils of the fast and the 'do it now!'

This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower productivity. It means working and doing things with greater quality, productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress. It means reestablishing family values, friends, free and leisure time. Taking the 'now', present and concrete, versus the 'global', undefined and anonymous. It means taking humans' essential values, the simplicity of living.

It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more productive where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do. It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence of spirit. In the movie, Scent of a Woman, there's a scene where the blind Al Pacino asks a girl to dance and she replies, I can't, my boyfriend will be here any minute now'. To which Al responds, 'A life is lived in an instant'. Then they dance to a tango.

Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists. We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how each one of us does with our time. We need to live each moment. As John Lennon said, 'Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans'
