I PUBLISH, THEREFORE I AM

Kylie Minogue said so and I really feel so. A single thought goes round & round in our head, and even entertainment (on or off the Internet ;-P) cant stop that crap from happening. We are terrorized by the so called consequences and we simply cannot concentrate on anything else . It's called the Father of all disturbances ; that's because whats disturbing is very important to us and we know for sure that its just gonna lead us to something very unfortunate. Involvement is a choice and disinterest is a tumor. We get involved in all that interests us, but slowly when we get an idea that the interest is fading away, we just keep up at delaying the unfortunate, as it's very human to procrastinate ;-). Personally, for an uncertain guy like me , I am shit scared of such disturbances and however strong I try to be, I end up doing nothing about it and I always lose some precious thing in the process . It has happened to many of us an...

It doesn't look authentic and we just cant digest the fact that all that we said was extra ordinary. So, if you keep getting "that's really good", "that's great" or "Sounds great" for almost everything u say, then rest assured, you think you sucked big time (unless its a sales call ;-)). What it means? We are not comfortable being accepted and appreciated throughout; our mind really requires some resistance from the other end and that's what makes us comfortable. A clear cut talk/process with no ifs, buts, In my opinions, Instead ofs is something we are not used to, and this is why we don't feel correct about everything going smooth without any hiccups/troubles. MY POINT? Why don't we (some of us) blindly trust our words? why are we not comfortable being accepted/appreciated throughout? Is it because, we don't deserve it or do we resist the best case scenario, just like we resist the worst case scenario.  PS: At least...

Last week was very eventful and by far, one of the very difficult times. Before, I never understood why people get work pressure at home or why is it that an off day at the office is an off week at home ;-); Now, I know exactly why it happens and I conclude that it's very NATURAL ;-). Certain official things are not official (really?) and certainly it does make a big dent on the personal front. Some cruel comments make us stronger and that's exactly what has happened in my case. Do the NEW- It happens and It will happen again Trying to form a Habit (It's not a self-improvement gig) If you are trying to lose weight, write better technical articles, read better or whatever, you gotta make it a habit. What point am I trying to make- Its not how correct your doing it, its great if you're just DOING it. All you need to do is SHOW UP everyday, you will eventually make it a habit (applies to...

Someone stole my PEN DRIVE or I may have just dropped it somewhere. Information is wealth and now I am poor ;-). Just because I am a Writer from the Product documentation team, I have only one solution to these losses. Readme.txt file inside the pen drive. You have to see it to believe it (Click the image to enlarge) By the way, the contents of the pen drive makes it easier for you to understand how crazy the guy really is. One more thing ,  People just cant stop advertising themselves, The guy shamelessly tells you to click on his blog ads (That's called determination) ;-).

So, what do you notice when you see a tall guy? Of course, His height (khachinggg, I BULB at times ;-)) I am a tall guy; actually, I am relatively a tall guy (I am like the kobe brayant in India, tall but not that tall). So, people who see me, cant help but notice my height. When people ask me  HOW TALL ARE YOU , I say  6.2 or 188cms or as tall as Nadal ;-). The most embarrassing situation for a tall guy Public : How tall are you? Tall Guy : I am 6.2 ! (Feels blessed) Public : You don't look like 6.2', you look like 5.10' Tall Guy : ;-| (Gamut of emotions: Shit just happened ;-D) Now, Why would a person lie about his height (unless he is a 5 footer, who tries to convince you of him being 5.5'). There is not a single comeback for the above situation. After such a comment, I feel its good to be in the normal range or totally abnormal range. But, if you fall in "Tall but not that tall" category, then you a...

What an experience, I had a good shot at Radio Jockeying. Finally, I got published on all india radio ;-). Hey guys, I'm Girish Mahadevan, the guest RJ for the day along with your RJ Padmini Studio was really like an office (a government office with old furniture looks, very neat and clean) RJ Padmini is very pretty ;-) and has a very fine taste of music. RJing is more about how to keep conversations interesting and bring in different point of views. RJ needs to be very spontaneous with thoughts & words. But, even RJs need to do their homework . RJ's work is standalone. An RJ is in charge of everything and is responsible for whatever happens in the studio and on AIR. At All India Radio, Rainbow FM studio- RJ Padmini at work ;-) My Performance I spoke well and I dint panic at any point ( RJ is sure in my reach, I am coming ;-) ) Think time is less - I heard my 1 hour transcript and I realized t...

If your friends make fun of you then they just want more of you and you are one of the reasons why the group is happy. Friends making fun of each other is the best example of how open they are to each other. If you are close enough then you wont have a pinch of misunderstanding when your friend says something derogatory or something really really funny about you. Don't be a spoil sport and dont make the situation tense when your friends make fun of you, instead, do what they want you to do: Get embarrassed ;-D PS: All those who know me- Now you know, why I make fun of you! ;-) When you laugh at yourself; people don't laugh at you, they laugh with you

First things first, Don't counsel unless your asked to. Preaching is the mode of operandi for a person who thinks the situation isn't that complex to handle. Whatever we do is what we do ;-) and its not a template which will fit every other person . I don't know if its just me but I don't wanna miss any opportunity where I get to counsel someone, I always have a say (not always, but yeah! most of the times). In this rate, I would be a freaking "do this, do that", "that's right, that's wrong" machine ;-) (but, thank god! I got rescued). Got a dose of my own medicine ;-) My o my!, Its good that I realized early in time. Counselling should be given only upon requests or if its the right thing to do (on a personal level). The  counselling guy bumped into me and started pouring his understanding of the situation and I totally totally totally got the point that he is a wise ass ;-), I must say, th...

It really takes time for important things to develop/build/grow, Maturity is the name of the game and primarily,it is the journey which is the real deal and not the goal. What seems all of a sudden: Dandruff doesn't not come to your hair all of a sudden- it needs around a fortnight to settle down and give you a hint that its there. Tumor is not tumor in the beginning, it is a swelling which warns you, threatens you, punishes you and then finally becomes a tumor to kill you. So, even a tumor is not all of a sudden. A leader is someone who not only knows about "how to lead" but should also be clear about "how to be led". So, even leadership isn't all of a sudden. A rude comment is like a slap, plenty of it is a dent and then finally, more of it is a hole. Naturally, even rude behavior takes time to knock us down. You might have what it takes, but it takes time for you to understand how to make use of all that...

For the 20ish head, Nope..its not what you think ;-D LUCK   is another bull shitty thing you really hope for but cant do anything about. You will really curse the word "luck" when you find some incompetent and highly incapable person getting what was in store for you (For Indians: No, I am not talking about getting a job..its in general). The reason may be as simple as wrong timing or an off day or blah blah blah...the fact that someone else grabbed your piece of cake ;-) is really hard to digest ( cake-digest..sounds perfect ;-)). Your  uneasiness is all for a reason and whenever you make an attempt to calm yourself with affirmations like "its not my problem as nothing was in my hands" or "not a problem, some other time", you eventually end up saying " Its just fate ". (I hope its good to say that luck is not an eventful thing for many) Now, do you wanna be lucky? (cant help it, still the answer is " wh...

Brain : Full of good ideas, seeking solutions all the time and ready for trouble. Heart : Something bothering, something not correct or something majorly wrong. Problem : The main problem is that I cant figure out the problem, but I know for sure that there is a mind-body-soul imbalance (that's one new term I learned today ) coz I seem to have lost all my enthu. Now, that's exactly what people call " Hollow from within " (or may be, its just me :-)). You cant help me, I cant help myself, I cant ask for help coz I don't know what's wrong. The only thing which a person can do in these times is LIVE IT. I don't know what I am chasing but its a good read on Mind-body-soul PS: I love my blog, nobody likes to listen to philosophy but my blog has to ;-)
