DID THE REVOLUTIONARY ROAD ACTUALLY REVOLVE?

This movie called REVOLUTIONARY ROAD has disturbed my mind to an enormous extent. I can’t free my mind by not thinking about it. So I felt maybe blogging on this could relieve me to some extent. It’s just a normal story about any random couple falling in love, getting married with 2 kids and 3 rd one on its way, happy go lucky couple. The husband earns enough for the family and everything looks so perfect on the outside. It is when you try to peep in that you find the only thing missing in this family was passion, a motivation to live life happily. The couple failed to figure out what could actually make them happy. Would it be making love with other people since they claimed they didn’t love each other anymore, or move away from the emptiness and hollowness of their lives to Paris, or to earn more, be more successful in life, to follow the heart  and achieve dreams…….i don’t understand what went wrong. All they needed was a change and the reason to appreciate their prosperity ...

I LOGO

KNOW THE ILOGO WAY The best way to express yourself is ILOGO. Someone that reads your bottle depth thoughts is ILOGO. The markets are changing trends trying to satiate the needs of the century following the latest fashion in demand. Despite of all the hits and trials, very few of the designs catch our eye after taking a big round of the showroom wasting 2 hours.   As a matter of fact, times have changed and NOW, people need something more that goes with their personality.   Customized clothing is the name. What is better than designing your own t-shirts, just the way you wanted. ILOGO fulfills this dream. The fall of the Giants such as the Myntra when it comes to customized merchandise is a major setback for the future of these players. Totally their life at stake, ILOGO emerges as the BIG BOSS of the latest season. Talking more in the ILOGO language, it is already a reputed kingdom offering a place to all types of clients, from corporate companies to associations to groups...

Today......a strange air

It’s a very abrupt and weird feeling suddenly engulfing me today…….the desire to write has become so irresistible that I had to leave my lunch and sit in the library to write it. Here I am…..all alone, in the midst of some geeks thinking in every possible way how to propagate my thoughts to others.   I have grown so indifferent these days, so weirdly acting to stimuli, I duno what’s up within me. It’s an impulsive and aggressive feeling of destroying everything around me, be it love, friends, family, studies…….and every other string attached to me. It’s like ultimate isolation has become my dominant aim.  I want to fly free……far away from the consequences of the detached strings. I am vulnerable to emotions now. There are so many feelings at the same time; I don’t understand which one to absorb. So I reflect any that comes my way. I still don’t understand the simple and stupid things of life. Life has become a total zero when it comes to doing something...

WANDER LUST

Travelling and Living has been my favorite TV channel since the day I saw it first. God knows why I landed up doing engineering. My love for wandering forces me to reconcile my thoughts about my lust to travel and eat all kinds of delicacies and most importantly, interact with different varieties of Homo sapiens. People fascinate me to the extent water attracts the thirsty man. The journey is whole-hearted and impulsive. The best feeling comes when I get totally lost as a mighty wanderer of the world. It’s like carrying the globe in my hand and feeling the very presence and essence of it. I am the bird singing freely and flying across the sky and over the sand hills and valleys. Wish the moment lasted forever. I never would want to stop. Had it been legally acceptable, I would go on forever and ever. The pleasure in wandering freely all over the atlas is similar to achieving every single dream of the world I cherished of. The desirable is achievable h...

GUILTY PLEASURES

 Often it has occurred to me that he who has done wrong with me ought to be punished. God must be unfair to him. Happiness should never lie in his vicinity and what not. All the stuff we say or react to is a result of prolonged accumulation of the 5 letter word called ANGER. We say or do anything out of the blue when we are angry and the mind fails to control the heart. This is a serious disease that can affect many others in your vicinity. The kind of pleasure one gets by hurting and letting out verbal abuses when he is angry on someone is just weird and dramatic to me. What’s the end result after all?? All you do is feel bad about it in the long run…..keep thinking about that incident and wish that it never happened in your life. The dreadful feeling called guilt eats up your brain day by day recursively calling your mind and confirming the fact that what you did wasn’t really you. Caught in this guilty-pleasure tug of war, the most liable s...

CARPE DIEM !!!

I would like to share a small poem whose remnants I remember. A friend gifted it to me in a scrap book once on friendships day . Each day is a lifetime in portrait. To awaken each morning is to be born again, to fall asleep at night is to die each day. In between waking and sleeping are the golden hours of the day. What we cannot do for a lifetime we can do for a daytime. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. Anyone can hold his temper for a day and guard the words he speaks. Anyone can carry his burden heroically for one day. Anyone can strive to be happy for a day and to spread happiness around. Anyone can radiate love for a day. Anyone can rise above fear for a day and meet each new situation with courage. Anyone can be kind and thoughtful and considerate for a day. Anyone can endeavor to learn something new each day and mark some growth. The supreme art of living is to strive to liv...

COMFORTABLY NUMB

Wake me up from my bed, for I can’t rise up on my own. Make me breathe the morning breeze, for I have lost the sense of feel. Make me relish the delicious dishes, for I have lost the taste of life. Make me walk like the ideal man, run like the four-wheeled van, for I have forgotten the process of locomotion.  Make me realize the truth value of my dreams, for I cannot distinguish it from harsh reality. Make me capable to strive for excellence, for I have lost the reason to fight. I find myself similar to the BROKEN WINGS…..how strong enough to cross the ocean with? ……the BROKEN WINGS…..how far should I go drifting in the wind?? You speak to me, but I can’t hear you…….you try to make me cry, but my tears are dry…….you  try to make me work, but I am comfortably numb. I have fallen apart and my existence is doubtful.   I have stopped responding to stimuli. I am losing control on my mind and body.  I have lost the power to think and...

VIRTUAL MEEEEEEE

Once upon a time I had emotions…… I cared for people and loved them. Wanted them to improve their mistakes and be good at heart.  I was the real me….. I am good to people who are good to me…….tough with the tough…… “Aap bhale to jag bhala” as we say in Hindi is somewhat a better version. I am the latter one now. Just like the morning sunshine that brightens up everyone’s life. I am good with the good, better with the worse. Somehow I have now learnt to wear that plastic smile on my face, the thing I should have done in the early years of my life, I would have had much more than what I possess today. A world of friends, ready to be with me.  People hovering around me as if I am their only ray of light. When A says B is bad, I agree. When B says he is good, I agree. It doesn’t really matter if both are good or bad. I know that I have turned bad. The world did not like me the way I was…. sweet, sober, innocent, speaking the truth and to the po...

MAN V/S MACHINE

All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, and the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness – said by Mark Kennedy. There are still long term debates running hot on this aspect of creation (man) vs. super creation (100 x man). Some say in favor of man some say creation of machines was the biggest mistake one could ever imagine and it is a bane for mother earth. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity--- by our very own Albert Einstein. It is still believed that one machine can do the work of 100 ordinary men. But no machine can replace one extraordinary man. In this never ending battle of man vs. machine, no matter who wins, either man will reach stone-age if machines lose, or nature will succumb to the fury of machines as the present day. The answer remains incomplete and unexplained.  I strongly believe machines are the greatest creation of man. Eve...

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD.............

A moment of tranquility…….. As soon as I typed the heading it took me to a world that is extraordinarily ecstatic.  There’s no satisfaction greater than the feeling of satisfaction itself.  A world that belongs to you and where everything happens just the way you had anticipated. On interviewing a lukewarm (in terms of money) guy once about what he hates the most…believe it or not…. he said HUMANS. As if they were the ultimate foes of his desires, wisdom, capabilities, decisions and what not. Well the list has no last word.  Tell me when did it happen that you got drunk and spoke up to your mom without getting scolded? When was the time you could comfortably get your girlfriend at your place and share some quality time with her? (Yeh India hai meri jaan)……when did it happen that your family approved you of doing a low salary job though you said you were happy? Even at work, people gave the “I can do much better than this…….u don’t deserve it” look when you were apprec...

23rd may 2010

DAWN N DUSK OF AN IITIAN---part1 23rd may,2010 My first year at the Indian Institute of Technology was just like any other  fresher though in a more screwed up and mismanaged  way. Today I am here to confess that I fail to upkeep to the standards of the best engineering institute of India which demands nothing but enormous fresh brains to mug up the 1000 gb syllabus and load it in the wonderful   hard drive called the brain. Its been a year at the IIT and it hurts to say that this has been the most insignificant, unproductive and hopeless year of my life. Life wasn’t so dumb and lame  before…….. Thou art say the only way to success is hardwork…..but is this really the success I, as an individual is looking  for?? Pple say go 2 iit n urlyf is heaven……the placements can fetch u a handsome salary……can somebody tell me how do u cherish dat salary wen u were never happy with wateva u did in urlyf??? What if u just tuk the wrong turn and landed up...
