I need to define a direction for myself. What do I want out of life ? :| The feeling of having everything and still having nothing is miserable. Everything we do in this world..some how or the other it relates or ends up to filling the stomach...If we don't fill the stomach , there is no use of doing that everything. (Stomach: Can be treated as a metaphor here and its meaning will vary ,depending on the subject)
I want to get rid of this feeling of good for nothing. In fact, when we use the term "conscientious" it is very good. But when things are not going well. Conscientiousness seems not to work as well according to its definition.
Some times at the back of your mind you do know the reason for your frustration and laziness. We know who is causing this stomach ache. But at the same time, we are so much obsessed with the circumstances or artificial lights...we try to go with the flow. But this practice can be dangerous especially for people who always require a PUSH for something. And specifically if you need a PUSH against the flow.
Think twice and be consistent to strive for, what you want out of Life !.

When you say Nothing at ALL.....
I heard it for the first time in 2006, and from then onwards I don't remember how many times I have heard it again and again over the years and still its fresh. I always experience the first time hearing kind of feeling. Lyrics are so well written, however the liveliness introduced by Ronan Keating (RK) in the lyrics is inexpressible.
Alison Krauss version for the same is also popular, however I never fell for that :|. I like the ups and downs of RK version. It feels like he is singing right from his own heart and is going through the same, whatever is expressed in the lyrics.
Enough being said, lets have a quick look about the song facts ,courtesy to www.songfacts.com
This was originally recorded by Country artist Keith Whitley in 1987.It was written by 2 leading country songwriters, Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz. The latter also wrote and previously recorded Kenny Rogers' American #1, "The Gambler."
When Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz were originally not too impressed with this song, but when they played it to Keith Whitley, he told them that they had written a classic and it became the second of 5 consecutive US Country #1s for Whitley, the last one posthumous - Whitley died at age 34. It was a Country hit a second time in 1995 for Alison Krauss & Union Station, but neither version reached the UK chart.
Richard Curtis wanted a key song for his new film Notting Hill. He suggested this song to Ronan Keating, who was then still with the Irish boy band Boyzone. According to 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, Ronan Keating said, "As soon as he mentioned the title, I was hooked."
This song is popular at christenings, marriages and funerals. It was also a #1 in Ronan Keating's native Ireland. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for all above)
Now exaggerating a lot about the song. Lets read the Lyrics below.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud (oh…)
But when you hold me near (oh, hold me near)
You drown out the crowd (drown out crowd)
Try as they may, they can never defy
What's been said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face let me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all…oh
Oh, the smile on your face let's I know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
(The smile on your face)
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
(The truth in your eyes)
(The touch of your hand)
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
(Let me know that you need me)
You say it best, when you say nothing at all (nothing at all)
You say it best, when you say nothing at all (nothing at all)
You say it best, when you say nothing at all (nothing at all)
And finally Notting Hill was the biggest reason , why I like this song a lot.
Hope you all will enjoy it too. Google or Youtube "When you say nothing at all by Ronan Keating" Enjoy !

Welcome to the power of Speaking !!!!
Mr. Mike is a great speaker, and he knows how to strike with words when the iron is hot. Reading his biography I learned he has been a mediocre student. He has not been a linguistics or language majors. But when he speaks no one can judge his background or biography. Welcome to the power of speaking, that's all I can conclude when I meet people like him. Welcome to the power of speaking. We all take it for granted and never wonder to improve or excel in it by following some guidelines or so, which can help us to do the same magic as great speakers and leaders do.
Although , humans start to speak fluently from the age of 2 years or so , however the art to speak words to make your point, make people follow you, can take forever if you never notice it.
Communication as much as it is important in our daily life , is neglected, since we assume as long as we can speak we are good that is true though. But on the contrary , lets have a look at history channel for moment.
Most of the leaders, political , social etc in the past and present , have one thing in common. They make people follow them , trust them based on their words and speeches. Although people do know, at times that leaders do not fulfill their words always. However they are always good at one thing, they can speak with boldness ,confidence and convince you with what they want. I think this is what make them stand where they are.
My point is , I am not suggesting that we all should follow this pattern of making false speeches and talks to get what we want.
Communication is the way to make hearts melt and make people understand your point. If all speak the same language does not guarantee we can explain our point better than others. The point to learn is, we all need to train ourselves in the art of communication. Toastmasters is the platform to be.
THINK, PAUSE & PONDER.

Few words to share !
So, this afternoon ,while we all were having lunch a special person I know, shared the fear of getting laid off.
When I heard it, I wanted to share something or change this phase of mind. But, my bad, at the nick of moment ,all I could do was to crack some weird jokes.
We all come under different dilemma or risky situations.
One thing I have learned the hard way in life is, what has to happen it will be happen one way or the other , no matter how much I try to run away from it.
But if I already admit something in my mind that it has happend or will happen , then I have already invited the bad circumstances to come and take over me.
The negative thoughts are here to drain our positive energy and leave us with no option to chose from .
There are a lot explanations for negative words and thoughts , in different ways they effect us. At this moment, I would like to quote Troy Stende , he once explained about how expressions and words we use about ourselves can effect us.
Below are the words he said :
Following the same pattern, some lines for the special person. Don't allow yourself to say I might be the next on the list ". Instead , if things dont seem going the right way as they should, always asure yourself good things are going to happen soon on your way.
Your career is going to take an uplift shift.
In order to take a long jump, you always have to go backwards from the position where you are standing , and then come back with full force to reach your goal. Same is the case for career steps as well. People switch from one step to the other, and some steps can be both downwards and upwards.
If you are standing in front of a concrete wall , we as humans cannot see what is going behind it.May be there is door to the treasure behind the wall. But standing infront of it , we can just imagine and be afraid of being lost.
Similarly, how can these negative thoughts rob you out of your joy of having the best waiting for you in store ?
We all have our days , and we cannot control the situations going good or bad our way.
But the good news is we can always acknowledge and face the negative circumstances with positive attitude and good thoughts.
Another aspect negative thoughts brings with it , they drag alot of our brain's attention towards it.
If you ever notice , good times always fly away so quickly , however hard and tough times, takes a while to fade away, even if the duration of hard times is short lived. The reason being , we feel so stressed and give much attention to hard times rather than focussing our attention on positive things in life.
In short , I would say, We people plan something else but the one UP ABOVE HAS something else for us in plan. At least , we can console ourselves that everything is done for the best.
So always be anxious and positive whatever is coming your way , thats the spirit !

"The other day, my 5 year old was having a hard time tying his shoe. He said, “I can’t do this, Dad!” With a smile I reminded him we don’t say, “I can’t.” Instead we say, “Help please.”
“Can’t” is a word that takes all your power away. It leaves you with no options and feeling defeated. If you must say “can’t” then add the word, “I can’t, yet” There’s hope in that; things can change and you can and will do it eventually.
Here’s a phrase I don’t allow myself to say; “I can’t afford it.” Again, it takes my power away and leaves me feeling hopeless. I feel defeated and my life revolves around scarcity and lack. I simply change that thought into, “I choose not to spend my money on that right now.” This still lets me feel a sense of abundance. As if I could buy that (or anything I want) if I really wanted to but I have different priorities at this moment. Whether it’s true or not, I feel more empowered.
Are you up for the challenge of eliminating, “I can’t” from your language? And don’t tell me you can’t! "
Following the same pattern, some lines for the special person. Don't allow yourself to say I might be the next on the list ". Instead , if things dont seem going the right way as they should, always asure yourself good things are going to happen soon on your way.

Don't know why ....I am FeeLing inside ...
Nervousness, inner happiness than the usual, no words to describe what you want to say, fear of making a mistake, trying to hide yourself etc,. These are normal behaviors
however, if they all occur in your life together for a specific some one, be informed things are not normal any more you are likely to be under the influence of ChoColate FeeLing for someone.
In the past couple of weeks comprising on several months, I have noticed a change in my personality. This change is strange, this is not apparent physically. In fact, may be no one can judge this change other than myself and the person who brought this change in me.
I don't know,should I be happy for this change & celebrate. Once in life this change happens for all of us.We cannot decide and comprehend what to do next.
The notion of Chocolate Feeling is another compulsory part of this change.
(Those unfamiliar with Chocolate feeling are directed to read ChOcOlAtE FeElInG !)
This change is more like a software virus, which affects your brain and if you do not take preventive measures it keeps on spreading on and on. The good part is all victims of this virus find pleasure in this pain. And at times when we know that it has started to happen , rather than taking a pause and think about it we let it go :).
A bad side of this change is..it forces you to hide your feelings from the person who brought this change. At least , this is what happens with me . If I plan to say something I cannot speak with confidence. Thats too bad ..being a real person, you try to find all reasons to speak something or nothing which makes sense or not with the person .... and hide what you really have to say in from your heart. It is not so easy to survive like this. Hard Hard too hard... :( ....
You feel a lot of nervous..you cannot express what you should say. You always eat a lot of words before they exit your vocal cords. Oh Gosh! ...I spend 24/7 with the same thinking feeling. If I am running , same thought...swimming the same thought..in the air the same thought. I keep on imaging Life would have been more beautiful at this moment if the person is here right now with me. But its all a wishful thinking ,..even at this moment of time..this description is just a wishful effort if they read it by any chance they should understand..what I fail to express I can write and describe.
The magical effect is , I can just wait for one smile from someone...or can take one glimpse of their personality and when I see that smile on face. I feel like having a Great day ..
Intuitively if you think about it, if we don't care about some one, I dont worry what impression I will make whatever I do or say to them. In other words, you are being yourself whatever you do or behave like, since you don't want or expect anything in return. But when you are in ChoColate FeeLing for some one,..... However, this happens only in front of/for a specific person.
What does this suggest, that the person has already changed you for their benefit, and they have conquered you , your heart and mind altogether.

....Someone was here..
Its ~2:00 - 3:00 am midnight, most of the people in this part of the world around me are sleeping. What keeps me awake at this moment of time, is the silence and peace I experience at this very moment. Although we humans are people's people. But we all like to have our personal time. Where we can compare what is good for us and what is our inspiration.
Today what specifically keeps me awake is not something which is keeping me awake today only..but has caused me to have a couple of sleepless nights in the past weeks as well. However, I tried hard to get away with it and not to write it. But then I decided to let it go , and let it be heard !
This blog is associated to a small tag placed in my Old is Gold 4 wheeler Celica. The tag reads something like this "...Someone was here 05/06/11" ,written on it.Everyday when I read it I smile to myself all alone.
There is a history attached to everything we plan or do either in everyday routine or once in a blue moon. Some times, we don't plan anything and the little neglected moments of our daily life bring so much happiness to us, that we like to cherish these golden moments again and again at the back of our mind in our memories.
It was a beautiful end of the week, started off as a sunny Friday. It happened so, I had to travel around 20+ miles or so, for a site visit. Its a normal routine, since if you live close to the same place. You don't expect anything unexpected or unusual joy nor crazy thoughts. But the trip that Friday has been one of the good trips I ever had . Although its the same road, same routine, same surrounding, same weather. Still everything looked beautiful. They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, that is so true. Its not always the physical beauty of the situation under consideration. For most part its the beauty of your thoughts and imaginations which needs to be considered always. Your positive outlook on life and attitude make things look pretty and perfect.
Yes, you can say I am a nature lover and the place where I went for the visit has greenery all around , lots of space to meditate and save/prolong the life of your eyes by looking at the greenery . But this time it was not the beauty of nature to inspire me, it was Beauty of Companion to accompany me on this visit :). For all the readers , if you did not get my last sentence, in order to explain it I can write pages to explain the same , however I think, still my description would fall short to describe the reality scenario, since I can only fantasize and in reality its more beautiful than fantasy :).
To keep long story short, I ask this to myself ,would it have been the same trip without the companion ?? My simple answer to this is , if there would have been no companion or any other companion . There would have been no need of a blog today and life would have been on its same monotonous track in a lazy fashion . Also,I would not have been waking up or thinking about the whole incident the whole time on and off, and getting a time out to write about it and all.
Last week , I saw a brief documentary, where a neuroscientist explained , whatever you want to do, its already there in your mind 6-7 seconds before it comes out as a random thought in your mind. Or in other words, is free will really free ? Or we all are biased already in our thinking?? We all know how our mind play tricks on us. Sometimes, if I think that it all happened without intention on my side. I might be true or who knows ,may be I always wanted something like this or more ? Since its all about what lies in a mind who knows what he wanted already.
Everyday we do find people around us, we never know how much impression they create on us by being around us. However, if I start describing the feelings we have for such people. It will take another long description and alignment of thoughts. However, for the sake of completeness all I can say is, sometimes we don't know how much precious moments and source of encouragement this companion / friend can give to us, just by being around with their presence for some dull colored humans like me.
If you have read all of the above till now, then finally take it as a food for thought, and think about it," How much inspiration and encouragement you have gotten from a special companion or some one has gotten from you as being a companion"

cUP of Koffee in cOLD Rain \
We all read about fantasies and fairy tales in childhood. As we grow up, we realize the reality and feasibility of all this happening in real life is pretty slim or almost negligible. In a fairy tale scenario, we can have multiple colors of nature either as paintings or snap shot, who inspire us to have all this in real. These snap shots entice us toward natural scenic beauties and we often try to relate the paintings we have seen in a novel or imagined in our mind ,in real life setting as well. For example the sun setting up, far away spreading its orange and yellow smells across the other end of the sky, in the same scene if you include the green pastures or chapel & Cross on one side. Isn't all this ,end up giving a peaceful pure look ?? For the same setting imagine the time, as evening is mating with darkness spreading silence around . In a situation like this you start wondering what is the cycle of life about. Is it just the perpetual cycle of morning and evening or else ??
Music is considered as a food for mind and soul. There is no substitute for Good music which relaxes your brain . Same is the case for a breezy pleasant weather bringing soft drops of rain every now and then. Walking by the lake side or to view it can sting the inner sparks of romanticism in you .
However, to include the human social factor ,all the above description is always incomplete without the touch of a human companion(s) ,great friend and socialization, which is a very crucial part to complete this picture.
For those of us, who are workaholics and lead a 24/7 Urban Living, all the above description is just a myth, wishful thinking or some lines taken from a novel or so. Do things like this really happen in every day life ? Is it really real ?. Like many of us, I also shared the same views that it does not happen in real, which is true as well to some extent. The probability of happening something like this, where you see and experience all your imaginations coming true in a daily routine is really low. How awesome would that be if chances are high ? :D.
They say chance favors the prepared mind. If you think about something you will get it. Like most of us, I used to think about all this experience to be a good vacation stop for my brain only. But now I am witness to have experienced all this lately. :)
Well , I have the good news for you readers as well, its all true. The only down side or delay side to it is, that you never know when exactly it can happen for you to experience all this.
Again emphasizing the quote,"Chance favors the prepared mind" . Without any planning or so, its all natural. The point is, don't consider all these desires in you just as a vacation stop for mind only. Just be prepared !
All you need to do is let chemistry and nature play its part and you enjoy the show. Enjoy it as having a cup of coffee and sitting back comfortably on the couch :) I have been fortunate to have this awesome experience :). And the guarantee for you guys is that, this is way more than to experience a hot cup of coffee in cOLD rain.
Music is considered as a food for mind and soul. There is no substitute for Good music which relaxes your brain . Same is the case for a breezy pleasant weather bringing soft drops of rain every now and then. Walking by the lake side or to view it can sting the inner sparks of romanticism in you .
However, to include the human social factor ,all the above description is always incomplete without the touch of a human companion(s) ,great friend and socialization, which is a very crucial part to complete this picture.
For those of us, who are workaholics and lead a 24/7 Urban Living, all the above description is just a myth, wishful thinking or some lines taken from a novel or so.

ChOcOlAtE fEeLiNg !
You cannot write about a journey unless you go on one. Or you cannot give your opinion about a food unless you taste it. I always wanted to write about it ,but there is already so much in literature and libraries about it What novel addition can I do ? So, before I write anything about it. Let me clarify that this brief write up is nothing but just supporting or verifying the idea which has been explained many many times earlier by great writers, philosophers, poets and authors around the world ,since time immemorial.
This is an inner feeling of happiness and satisfaction, no matter how bad is the situation. Even if you have loads of work to do, but still you feel happy and smile about something when you think about it.
Its not as simple or equivalent as eating a chocolate, it is more than that, perhaps eating a chocolate might be just a short simulated version of one aspect of it. Practically expecting the unexpected happens a lot :) .
If any of you have ever experienced a roller coaster ride, the pleasure feeling which comes to your mind while having free fall or so, however in this case the feeling of pleasure is way too much than that , in fact you cannot compare the two.
All this might sound like a movie story. But the ones who are experiencing all this right now will agree with me for the fact that, its not always a movie story, it is a reality , which can be seen in eyes :)

Water for Elephants !
I feel so young and fresh again ! As I woke up this morning and looked out of the window ,it felt like this is the weather I wanted to have in a long long time. The wind blowing at a constant pace, the green leaves dancing at the rythm of the cool breeze , soft drops of rain falling here and there every now and then. For a moment I felt myself like William Wordsworth waiting for Daffodils to come up into the picture so that I can start writing :D.
It looked as if everything is welcoming and wishing me a great day ahead !
Seeing all this , I started to recall my undergrad days, as being a free bird. In those days,when every one is full of vigor and energy. Big dreams come across our minds and we posses the capability to conquer the world,sky is limit and all.
I miss those days at times.
But today it seemed as if last night before going to bed I entered in some time machine and today I am back in some golden era of the past. I felt like I am back in the game again :). I am again a young lad with same positive outlook on life. So much positive energy inside of me. I feel so thankful and what not. May be in terms of words , I wont be able to express it over here.
Having said all that, deep down I knew the fact and reason for this positive energy. We humans are very tricky..lol . Last night I watched Water for Elephants with a friend . The soundtrack of the movie is still running at the back of mind. The movie started in the month of April and ended in May. May be some one say ,Oh ! the movie is so great , it must have given me so much positive outlooks on life. Not really. Secondly, the reason could be a good weather, that could be true as well. Thirdly , it could be the recall of the past which is making me alive again. Whatever may be reason, I know deep down in my heart, the reason for me, jumping with joy here and there is not the movie. It could be weather but :) its more about the company and companionship you are in, while doing something . For example, if everyone is cooperative,working in a stressful environment might not drain you out but working with a bunch of suckers would do for sure. Bad example I know,but I could not think of a better one while writing this.
Finally readers, a food for thought , always try to be on the look out , what is missing in the scene ? Is it just a movie ,friends or a beautiful weather ? I think the answer to this question could be relative, varying from person to person. However, when we say humans are social animals, I think that would be great hint and answer for what I am trying to say .

Guru & Guassian !
Last week, me and my Guru, were having a chit chat online on a fine afternoon. Before going further, a brief about my exceptional Guru. He is such a fine person, whenever we talk together..we end up having some positive thoughts in mind about life and its ways.I have never met such a person..who will always be open for any discussion and he always keep on encouraging you whatever input or dumb ideas or questions you have. He will always be patient and tolerant and will converge your irrelevant discussion into a purposeful talk. I like his approach toward life. He will always be prepared for the best and at the same time he will always be depending on HIM. He gives full input to whatever he does and even after winning laurels , the credit from his side goes to HIM. What a follower !, I must say.
Anyways now back to the main thing. I assume all those people out there familiar with probability theory, communications or any other estimation or mathematical discipline know the Bell curve and its applications.... So just imagine and realize Isn't life also like a Gaussian curve ? The point from where it starts and when it ends are both at the same level/axis, but the difference it can make between the two points .....can you estimate ?.Yes you can ,provided you know what is your mean and variance, that's pretty much all you need. From no where , negative infinity you come from, and if you realize the truth and purpose of your existence , one can go to positive infinity :). The bell part can be symbolized like the heights attained by an individual and it all depends on your mean ;) where your mean is, what is your variation, how much probability or percentage you can deviate from the path you are supposed to go on. All this is pretty much on the same pattern of life.
Now a moment of truth, for all those mathematical geeks, just a quick questions. Is it just a coincidence or explicitly defined by nature that in both rational and irrational ways, Bell curve is justified for all days ?

Competition ? by default ? or ?
Everywhere you look around, ...around yourself , either you are on road, at school, at work or wherever,one would find that people are always in a constant struggle not only to go ahead of others, but even to go beyond their imagination .
Those who are not so obsessed by this competition phobia are considered careless or slow learner by the society. I wonder how this competition entity came into existence ? If we talk from Genesis chapter 4, for the first time competition started there among the two brothers (As for secular and free thinker readers, I know what is your point after this ,you would comment what was the reason or force behind this competition). I think interested readers understand what does it mean !, but HE provides all the answers.

Thank you snow ..
After a gap of almost , (let me see) 3 years..trying to get back on this blogging thing again,it happened like this when an old engineer-friendly :) friend of mine, shared his interests in blogging today and sent me his blog to read .So I also realized my old cubicle days.So lets see how far I go with this without any gaps.
So this is my returning block.
Its been snowing for the last 4 days ,schools and other places are closed. And the people of Richardson are trapped in their cozy living cells. This is the time ,you get to realize there is so much to think about all those things which are being neglected for so many months or years may be. Same thing happened with me, this snow storm and my friend has brought my return.
So this is my returning block.
