New Phase -2.....Mumbai....

Mumbai ," The City of Dreams" as it is rightly said..I landed in Mumbai with lots of fear and depressed emotions,but my love for Pani-puri's never reduced and I craved for it more and more...:)

With a smile on my face and fear in heart,I was all there in Mumbai to give myself to that whole new place,experience what is called as the most happening city of all times...Back home my family was a bit worried as it's something very big for me, as I was brought up in a small place where my place did not even span 2% of what Mumbai is....The local trains scared them the most, as they had heard about some accidents...With all these I was in Mumbai-----City of Dreams,city which never sleeps,city which never stops...and so on.....

My first day of the second phase of training was pretty good....I knew many people who were from Trivandrum,who were along with me during my first phase..Our parents actually went in search for a place for us to dwell..Finding a proper place in Mumbai to dwell was the first task..There were 100's of places,but a proper one was a bit difficult..Anyways within a span of 2 days we were able to find a place to stay and got adjusted and bid good bye to our parents to experience what is called as Mumbai and Mumbai life..A cosmopolitan life actually!!!

We all put up in Vashi,where our training used to be,which is a part of Navi Mumbai.(one of my uncle who used to stay in Mumbai during 1950's and 60's told me Navi Mumbai was the place where people never used to go.There was a very thin population out there then and people had to reach there only through the locally available boats and ships..) Now..God!!Navi Mumbai.. A completely different scenario..We cant even believe that,was it like that over those days..Anyways Technology and Population and people's dreams..Have made it what it is today.

Mumbai...The very place is ruled by people from almost all walks of life and all professions.It has a growing population..Each day atleast 500 new people go to Mumbai to earn their livelihood..We all were one amongst the lot.There are actually many aspects that makes Mumbai what it is..

First of all the very place..It's almost 20-30 times Bangalore.We always used to compare both the cities.There can be basically no comparison between these cities..Mumbai is Mumbai...!!!Each area or say each 2 roads have 4-5 malls and people man!!!The population is so much that each mall is completely filled with the proud Mumbaikars.. The most happening city..not to forget Cosmopoliton city,the head quarters of most of the firms including the firm I work for and most important the Financial capital of India..and not to forget the city where Bollywood takes it's breath..

Many many many more more more things..ll update in my next Blog....:)

New Phase of Life - 1.....TRIVANDRUM - ILP

Every direction I turned around, I saw Coconut tress all around and backwaters in the form of lakes.It was then that I realised that I have landed in Kerala about which I had heard as God's own Country.

Luggages were dumped into the cab as we headed towards Technopark.The city of Trivandrum wore a deserted look as it was Sunday.As the cab reached Technopark I was all excited, as it was the very first company I would join and work.We were allotted quite spacious good rooms with all basic amenities and we just explored the place until we were tired and went off to sleep dreaming about the best part of next day as it was going to be very historical in all our lives.."First day at work!!!"....

Over the Induction on the first day we saw many movies about the TATA group and the company,which weer quite good and inspirational .Then started the usual training sessions wherein we were all just waiting for the weekend wherein we freaked out all around places staring from Kovalam Beach,Anantapadmanabha temple and Kanyakumari and would also catch up some stupid movie which would be released and we would be there to watch it...It was fun!!!Litrelly fun...At the expense of someone enjoying crazily...

Kerala is a pretty good place when it comes to the beaches which never ends and backwaters.Enjoyed the best part of my life in Beaches at Trivandrum and Kanyakumari even though I was hesitant a bit...Once I got into water..Man!!!Didnt even feel to get back to Technopark...

Training was the best part..Met many new people from many colleges,shared jokes,laughed,learnt many things together..Life skills sessions were the best part of ILP training where in we had to enact a sequence or speak something or learn so called Spoon and Fork stuffs(fighting with the spoon and fork actually)..It used to be fun..It was more of an paid holiday actually..

Days passed by with the wink of an eye and came the dreadful evaluations and allocations..The lucky lot got their preferred locations and we the unlucky ones got allocated which we didnt even opt for!!!This made us sad...But life is always a mixture of Joys and Sorrows...Not exactly sorrows,but disappointments cos we actually expect more and dream about it...Finally got mentally prepared to head towards our allocations given and now in that course I headed towards Mumbai!!!!

Mumbai!!!!!!The very word sounds exciting and gives me a tinge of unknown happiness....Wanna know the secret??? I just love eating Pani-puri's (golgoppa's) and Mumbai is the land of Golgoppa's and chats!!!!

I was so happy that I can have it crazily to my heart's content....With the Hope of exploring a whole new place and experiencing new things is life spicing up each moment with Golgoppa's..:)I was off to Mumbai!!!!!!!!!!!

Life in Mumbai will be described in my next post......:)

Stepping into a new phase of Life with lots of dreams,desires,ambition and hopes....:)

With my final semester exams getting over in July I always wondered and thought what next..Once I got my results and graduated I thought when did I become so big that I graduated..!!!Just took some days to realise the fact that I have grown up enough to live Independently from now..But what next was the biggest question that I always had in my cranial system...

For the question posed by myself to my cranial syatem I had 3 answers..One was to try for some good jobs which suits me.But because of the prevailing scenario that was a very tedious task..Second was to wait for my Date of joining from the company in which I was placed from my college.. Third was to plan for higher studies..Planning for higher studies is not my cup of tea as of now and not my present priority as of now as I always wanted to know what do so called techies do the whole day..So just thought of waiting for my Joining date come what may because I was sure that I will get it one day.

In the mean time to wade away the time and to spend it more meaningfully mom was just behind me to join some courses for which I was just planning,planning and planning...But never brought that into action..:) Just due to many many reasons my inner thought which I have always heard ,it didnt give me a push..Donno why..But my brain wanted to do it..not my heart....

In the mean time we started getting joining dates and I got it on 15th October after 3 months of college..I was actually in a state of shock as it was totally totally all of a sudden..Just didnt know how to react..I took some time to realise and come to terms that I have really got my much awaited Joining date..Donno why,but that was a day wherein I had mixed feelings running in my mind..Sense of both happiness and being sad too..Happiness was for the reason that I have got my Joining date...Sadness!!seriously I couldn figure out why..Later after a day I realised that form now on I got to be Independent, slog and work many many number of years for which there's no end and no holidays as I used to get when in college at regular Intervals..I finally realised that I have serioulsy grown up then and not a careless and easy going college gal who used to loaf around all most the whole day..else watch all possible movies available under the sun...:)

I had a very nice break and had the golden opportunity to stay with my family for 3 months happily as I was totally free..With all these thoughts and running around for Documents that I got to produce on my joining , time is running away crazily and no much time as I used to have when I used to be totally jobless and free..When this stuff has made me busy donno how much occupied would my work do to me!!!!

With new Desires,Dreams,hopes and Ambition I am stepping into the new phase of life called the "working phase" as I have to move on in life because it's always been told " Udyogampurusha/stree(small change des days) Lakshyanam"..


Off!!! As a Bird flying............further and further........

Uduganaveshtitha Chandrasushobitha

" Udugunavesthita Chandrasushobhita divyambhara Sanchari
Kanna neerinali manna dhulinali horaluttiruvara sahachari "

I happened to hear this wonderful composition by Shri.G.S Shivarudrappa which is soulfully sung by Smt. Pallavi Arun.. The importance of Sun in the form of Light ,as a sign of living eternal soul is greatly elucidated which gives a very good thought and makes us think a lot about helping people around us when,only the Sun helps all people around in the disguised form of eternal living called "GOD" or supernatural power by some atheists why not we help people around us wherein our help to people around us could be equalled in the measure of an ant.

What an awesome thought where in light which is given by the Sun during day and moon during night travels far and wide giving happiness,ray of hope and life to all people,though there are tears in the eyes of people and problems all around it never stops but keeps on moving all through tirelessly wading away the tears and troubles which is compared as sand here..

" Kotisuryakara tejapunjakara vidyuthrajita rathagami,
mulitiha raitna negala salina mannina rekha patha gami "

Light rays which comes from the Sun gives brightness in peoples lives each day by wading away their difficulties and sorrows along with helping the people to follow the right path in life and do good things always which is exactly the same as farmers ploughing their lands in a straight line wherein the Sun helps farmers do the same. It can also be implied as well that it leads the people in a single good righteous path too..

" Baandal Chumbita Shubra himavrutha tunga shrungadali gruhavaasi
Deeena anathara dhukhi daridrara murukugudisilali upavaasi "

Whereever we turn around during the day we find Sun which is also same as the thought that God or some supernatural power exists , may it be the Northern ranges ie,Himalayas touching the sky or in waters of rivers such as tunga or the westren ghats..We can find Sun everywhere which stays along with everyone even in the huts of the diseased,downtrodden,orphans and depressed souls in their broken hearts rendering on them a ray of hope and would never leave any person in trouble all alone and would be there with them forever both in their good and bad times..

Thus in simple words this awesome quatrain tells the presence of Light in the form of God everywhere as a ray of hope, as a guiding lamp towards happiness and contentment....

How much more sententious can a composition be !!!!!

Love life and live life to the fullest

It's been said by Anais Nin " Dreams pass into reality of action. From the action stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living ". It's always been said Love life and live life, but I dont understand one thing as to why people lose their precious lives which is given by God rather than just live it properly to the fullest..

This thought just came to my mind when I hear people killing themselves (so called proper synonym suicide).Circumstances can actually be faced boldly and solved or else some amount of compromise can always be done by wading away the so called EGO.

No one has the right to take away their own lives as it's just a height of stupidity..It's just that they are either running away from the problems they are facing or just dont want to face it at all.

Life is all about Dreaming and making those Dreams come to reality.But sometimes it so happens that those dreams which we have dreamt might not come true and this in many cases and circumstances might lead to depression,hatred for oneself or towards others and this might end up in all theses stupid acts.

It's not that we should not dream.We have to dream and it's a part of living life because without dreams we cannot achieve anything and life would be boring and actually these dreams always makes us achieve greater heights in life.

Live the present moment of life to the fullest, with no regrets or hesitation because that moment of life cannot be reversed or brought back again.Accept things and circumstances as it comes without regeretting or questioning why,how ??etc etc.. cos " KAL HO NA HO ".

Live the present moment of life to the fullest and enjoy it crazily with the experiences and thoughts of the past and Dreams about future.This is the motto I have always followed in my life and will continue too..

" Love Life and Life will Love you back,Love people and they will love you back " quoted by Arthur Rubinstein is so true....Is'nt it???

College College SJCE!!!

On the last day of my stay in SJCE campus, sitting in YAMPA which is usual Hang out for students like me(who Bunk classes quite often) in SJCE campus and sipping Chota Tea (which is the main menu of YAMPA) ,I realised that this would be the last day wherein as a Student I would sit here carelessly,speaking all the stupid stuffs,possible for as long as possible with no tensions and worries at all......

It's been said "College is a place to keep warm between High School and Early marriage"[:)]Not only this, but, it's also an awesome place wherein we learn a lot along with studying and graduating with flying colors.First of all we learn to making adjustments in the whole new environment,make new friends who end up being friends for Lifetime,Roaming around independently,taking decisions on our own(sometimes stupid decisions also),shopping and not to forget the importance of the M factor-which is also called as Money and the importance of our parents around us for the same,along with us realizing that "MOM"S the Best Cook Possible" after eating the same Hostel food for days and months and years.

The First year of College will be quite Curious and Scary wherein the Freshers will be quite curious to know about the College,Classes,Fests etc etc....and scary because they can be caught anywhere in the Campus by Seniors and they can be asked any sort of stupid,irritating,bugging questions by seniors along with their Introduction (in short..The scary word RA......). For seniors it ll be just time pass and fun where as for juniors it will be dreadful and scary than any of their exams or facing any of their Viva's.

As exams get over comes the Second year wherein everyone will be very curious to know about their Branch,Lecturers ,subjects(which we hardly study),Branch Seniors,Fests etc etc etc.As everyone will be accustomed to the campus and stuffs nothing will be new as such except entering the Branch....Now comes the time ie.The end of 2nd year wherein the Cat's come of their Hide out's and start playing as they wish...It will be real fun..

Third Year the Cat's play increases wherein (students)start playing more and more pranks.By the mid of 3rd year there will be total transformation wherein lots of seriousness creeps into cranial system from no where as , it's the Placements time wherein each one wants to get into a Company,the place of their Dreams,the reason for which they have joined the great Institution..

Placements complete the Third year and the Final final final Fourth year begins with Treats for Placements,fun,frolic and doing all those great tasks..Tasks as great as it's shown in Roadies,tasks which each of them had dreamt of doing before leaving the college...Then comes the final semester which is quite hectic when it comes to project but otherwise just hardly attend any classes,loaf around with Friends so that all those moments could be cherished for Lifetime which in total is full of Fun.

Not to forget the Hostel life(Esp.Hostelites)guess these are the People who enjoy life to the Fullest..With Late Night Movies(watching all possible Movies and TV Series on Earth),Gossiping goes on and on for which there's no end at all,speaking all impossible and stupid stuffs exactly during Internals and exam time till late night to realize we have exams the next day and even then being lazy thinking of getting up early the next day and studying which we usually don't (but just say for our satisfaction),late night Birthday parties,Full and chota Tea at Kannan and Yampa(wt so ever may happen,have to visit there once a day),strikes against the facilities in the Hostel,those usual outings with a whole big,large gang of gals for Treats,Sight seeing of Places and also loafing around aimlessly and jobless y and not to forget those Photo Sessions are the most treasurable moments one can ever experience.

With a Blink of eye all the 4 years just pass by as the sweetest dream possible, as the best thing that could happen to anyone..

As said by Tom Pretty "You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does..."” the wonderful things just come to an end...

In all these 4 years we Smile a lot,laugh to our Hearts Content and Cry a lot thereby striking a perfect a Balance between every task that we carry out thereby transforming us from Irresponsible Teenagers (when we entered College) to so called Responsible Graduate Full Fledged Engineers....

MISS YOU SJCE

ನೆನಪು

ನೆನಪುಗಳ ಮಾತು ಮಧುರ !!
ಈ ಮಾತು ಎಷ್ಟು ಚಂದ.

ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮರೆತಿರುವಾಗ ಬರುವುದು ಇಲ್ಲ ಸಲ್ಲದ ನೆನಪುಗಳು.
ಎಷ್ಟು ಅರ್ಥ ಇದೆ ಈ ಸಾಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ.
ನಾವುಗಳು ಎಷ್ಟು ದೊಡ್ಡವರಾದರು ಆ ಬಾಲ್ಯದ ನೆನಪುಗಳು ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ಬೇರೆ ಏನೇನೊ ನೆನಪುಗಳು ನಮ್ಮ ಮನಸನ್ನು ಹೊಕ್ಕಿ ಬೇರೆ ಯಾವುದೋ ಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಕರೆದೊಯುತ್ತದೆ ಈ ಮಧುರವಾದ ನೆನಪುಗಳು.ಅದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದಾಗ್ಲು ಏನೋ ಸಂತೋಷ ಸಿಗುತ್ತದೆ.


"ನೆನಪು" ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಕಳೆದು ಹೋದ ಸಮಯ ಹಾಗು ಸಂದರ್ಭಗಳನ್ನು ನೆನಪಿಸಿಕೊಡುತ್ತದೆ.ಈ ಕಳೆದು ಹೋದ ಸಮಯ
ಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ಮೇಲೆ ಘಾಡವಾದ್ ಪ್ರಭಾವ ಬೀರಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಅದು ಮನಸಿನಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲೋ ಅವಿತು ಕೂತಿರುತ್ತದೆ.ಬೇರೆ ಏನೋ ಯೋಚನೆ ಮಾಡಿದಾಗ ಈ ಇಲ್ಲ ಸಲ್ಲದ ನೆನಪುಗಳು ಮನಸನ್ನು ಕಾಡುತ್ತದೆ ಹಾಗು ದಣಿದ ಮನಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ಉಲ್ಲಾಸವನ್ನು ಕೊಡುತ್ತದೆ.ಇಲ್ಲ ಸಲ್ಲದ ನೆನಪುಗಳಿಗೆ ಯಾಕೆ ಪ್ರಾಮುಖ್ಯತೆ ಕೊಡಬೇಕೆಂದರೆ ಎಲ್ಲ ನೆನಪುಗಳು ಬರಿ ಸಿಹಿಯಾಗಿರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.ಸಿಹಿ ಕಹಿ ಘಟನೆಗಳ ಸಮ್ಮಿಲನವೇ ಜೀವನ ಅಲ್ಲವೇ!!! ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ನೆನಪುಗಳು ಸಹ.ಸಿಹಿ ಕಹಿ ನೆನಪುಗಳು ಬರುವುದು ಸಹಜ.ಕೆಲವು ಬರಿ ಕಹಿ ನೆನೆಪುಗಳು ಹಾಗೆ ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಬಂದಾಗ ಅದನ್ನ ನಾವು "ಎಲ್ಲ ಮರೆತಿರುವಾಗ ಬರುವುದು ಇಲ್ಲ ಸಲ್ಲದ ನೆನಪುಗಳು" ಅಂತ ಅಂದುಕೊಳ್ತ್ಹಿವಿ.


ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮನುಜರಿಗೂ ಎಷ್ಟೊಂದು ಏನೇನೊ ನೆಪಪುಗಳು!!!!ಲೆಕ್ಕಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಆಗೋಲ್ಲ..


ಆದರೆ ಏನೇ ಅಂದ್ರು ಬಾಲ್ಯದ ನೆನಪುಗಳು ನೆನೆಪೇ . ಆ ದಿನಗಳ ಆಟ,ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರು,ಮಾತುಗಳು
ರಜ ಬಂದಾಗ್ ಅಜ್ಜಿ ಮನೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಅಣ್ಣ,ತಮ್ಮ,ಅಕ್ಕ,ತಂಗಿಯರ ಜೊತೆಗೂಡಿ ಆಟ, ಅಜ್ಜಿಯ ಕೈತುತ್ತು, ಅಜ್ಜಿ ಹೇಳುವ ಕಥೆಗಳು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಇನ್ನು ಇವಾಗಲೇ ಎಲ್ಲೊ ಕೇಳಿಕೊಂಡು ಬಂದಹಂಗೆ ಇದೆ.

ಅಹ!!ಏನು ಚಂದಾ ಆ ಶಾಲೆ,ಆ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರು,ಆ ಭೋಧಕರುಗಳು,ಆ ಬಾಲ್ಯ ಗೀತೆಗಳು,ಆ ಚಂದಮಾಮ ಪುಸ್ತಕ . ಆಟದಲ್ಲೇ ಪಾಠ ಅಂತ ಆಟವನ್ನು ಆಡಿಸಿ ಜೊತೆಗೆ "ಅ ಆ ಇ ಈ ಹಾಗು ಮಗ್ಗಿಗಳನ್ನು" ಕಲಿಸುತಿದ್ದರು.

ಆ ಮಣ್ಣಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಆಟ,ಬೊಂಬೆ ಆಟ....ದೇವರೇ.. !! ಈ ನೆನಪುಗಳಿಗೆ ಕೊನೆಯೇ ಇಲ್ಲವೇ??
ಆ ಹಾಡು,ನೀತಿ ಪಾಠ ಕಲಿತ ದಿನಗಳು,ತಾತನ ಜೊತೆ ಹೊರಗೆ ಹೋಗುವ ಹಠ.

ಈ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ನೆನಪುಗಳನ್ನು ಅಗಾಗ ಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಇವಾಗ ದೊಡ್ದವರಾಗಿದ್ದಿವಿ.

ಈ ನೆನೆಪು ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಏನೋ ಒಂದು ತರಹ ಮನಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ಸಿಹಿ ತಂದುಕೊಡುತ್ತದೆ.
ಹಿಂದಿನ ಬಾಲ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗಲಾರದೆ ಮುಂದಿನ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಯಾಯದ ಪ್ರಪಂಚಕ್ಕೆ ಒಬ್ಬೊಂಟಿಯಾಗಿ ಕಾಲಿಡುವ ನಮ್ಮೆಲರಿಗೂ ಈ ನೆನಪು ಮನಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ಸಿಹಿಯನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವುದಲ್ಲದೆ ಆಗ ಕಲಿತಿದ್ದ ನೀತಿ ಪಾಠಗಳನ್ನು ಪಾಲಿಸುವ ಸಮಯವೂ ಬಂದಿದೆ.
