" itni shiddat se tumhe paane ki chahat kee hai,
Ke har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki sazzish kee hai..
kehte hain , kisi cheez ko agar dil se chaho to poori kayenat usse tumse milane ke koshish me lag jaati hai.... "
Really like these lines...
wonder wat r they inspired from?
The law of the universality ( The Alchemist )
or The Secret?

1 by 1 billionth of India
Am preparing for my GMAT since the last 2 weeks, another two to go, and so a majority of converstions with friends /relatives /colleague's are abt MBA / GMAT /wat options...now and later....
An though i might me a little hazy about some details , i am very clear abt this...
I don't want to go abroad to work/settle .
I don't want to go abroad to study.
My own reasoning is a mix of personal choice's , logical/ maybe illogical reasoning.
I started my learning of Indian Media Dynamics here, eight years ago, all that i know , is about this specific industry , in this specific country. why would i go elsewhere?
All the people i care for, my parents , my bro, my closest friends, the only girl that i ever loved,are here.
My sphere of influence is here.I make a difference .
My Cousin, who btw is doing very very well for himself abroad, spoke to me abt the money factor , and a better , more encouraging work culture.
i know our scenario here is developing, but i will, along with other, work hard and change it,
in our own desi style, to become, the very best, don't need your set SOP's , we'll make our own.
Its early morn, i have'nt slept,its our Independence day, and i am proud to be an Indian.
If this did'nt make sense, well, go abroad.lol.

sunscreen
I AM NOT the creator or orator of this speech, Mary Schmich is and last I heard her employer was the Chicago News Tribune. FYI, there are two song versions of the Wear Sunscreen speech:
"Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen)" by Baz Luhrmann and "Not the Sunscreen Song" by John Safran. Anyways...enjoy this great speech.
Wear Sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idel Tuesday. Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year- olds I know still don't. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone. Mayber you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody's else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Dont' be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths. Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will Look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.

correlation/ causation ...gyan ...lol
For a very long time, i was deeply involved in researching about spiritual philosophy, and value systems, as presented by the various schools of thought.
All that i gathered from th sis is, there is no generic philosophy that suits everyone, for it entirely depends upon what is your personal value system.
It is good to know and understand about various ideologies, but in the end, form your own , upon what u believe in.
A lot of my friends are very impressed by 'The Secret' by Rhonda Bryne, and told me to read it, which i did. What i felt is, that the crux ( The Law of Attraction) , would be effective only if combined with some hard core effort.Its not that its not well put, i mean its a very well written book , but then , its a concept we have all known all along, just that maybe reading it in so much clarity helps in putting it into clearer prespective.The power of positive thinking is a very effective tool , but the role of thoughts is to lead to positive action, without which it is rendered irrelevant, so think positive but back it up with the required effort.
The whole Philosophy of the Art of Living, as stated bt Epictetus, is based on just one concept,
The Sphere of Influence, it says that in life , one must never try to inflence things outside one's own sphere of influence, for doing so will lead to conflict, and thereon more negetive energies.
So what is your sphere of influence? everything starting with your...your thoughts, your words, your deeds, your actions, your idea's, basically your life....think about it...it'll make sense, any and everything above and beyond this outside, and any attempt to influence it will only lead to misery.think, if there is a problem, concerning you and someone, what part of it is your control,
......wat u feel, do , express about it...not the other person's point of view or actions....so do the best you can within your sphere, an leave the rest to the universe.
there is another point of view, the kind of vibrations(through thoughts and deeds) you create in your sphere will act as a magnet, and attract similar vibrations from all around, basically the universe.
This is where these two ideologies are related....
My personal point of view is right or wrong is a matter of perception, what may be right for me maybe wrong for you, so how does the universe decide on it......on intention.thats the key...do wat you really believe, and do so with clear intentions, nothing will ever go wrong, on the other hand, the best of the deeds with wrong intentions will, no matter what.there is this beautiful quote from parsi scripture, which says :
Clarity of thought,
Purity on intention,
Mixed with conviction and passion,
will always lead to success.
Its the gist, of all that i have said.
Cheers.

no title
relationships are like fire, and distance is like wind.
It extinguishes the weaker one's, and makes makes the stronger one's more intense.
I did believe this...for quite a while.

past , present and future
we have two feet, destiny and life keep one in the present, by default.
About the other, its our own choice.
And it is this choice , that decides which quadrant of time we exist in, think,
with one foot in the past , and one in the present, the whole existence is leaning into the past , and carrying the weight of all the dead issue's, of people, of things, that we left behind,and logically, should not matter.
Clear that slate, forgive, forget ,erase, delete... for thats the only way u can detach, and move forward.
Its all connected in a cosmic sense, wat i am is dierctly influenced by wat i was, and wat i will be , is based upon wat i am doing today.
Do your best in the time, the present.
Past is gone, future will take care of itself.
I have known this concept since a long time, directly mention is the Bhagvad Gita, but it started making so much sense recently, its funny how life provides us live example's of different ideologies, from time to time.
