Random thoughts....

The world is all obsessed with results..Right from the kid next door who wants all A's to be in his final report to the enterprenaur who wants a 30% rise in the profitability every quarter. Everyone has a skewed perception about the achievements of the people or maybe of the successful people!!??

Ok, i havent seen much of life and i havent had that big success yet...but i dont need enlightenment to be aware of this. I just see what others prefer to ignore. I just realise the value of the things that others take for granted...

When was the last time you enjoyed music?? and when was the last time you enjoyed that moment of silence between the two beats/sounds of your fav song?? You get soo obsessed with the music, that u take that silence for granted. It is this silence that seperates music from the noise. It is just like the spaces between the words. Imagine reading a paragraph having no spaces!!! The spaces and silence are important..not just in the music and in a language, but in everyone's life too...

When was the last time you really did what you truly wanted??
When was the last time you did something about the thing that matters to you the most?? Half of the people, if not more wouldn't even know what matters the most to them. I was one of those who has a misconception about the thngs that mattered the most to me..It made me pay a huge price, but i evolved to be a better person from this. I was fortunate..

When was the last time you made a difference in someone else's life??
When was the last time you went against what is supposed to be the conventional way of doing things??
When was the last time you realised that you are getting lost and heading nowhere in the daily routine of your life??
When was the last time you loved someone and expected nothing in return??
When was the last time you failed and enjoyed it for a change??
What are you going to do with your life??

I am an ordinary mortal too...who runs through my life, takes the decisions that seem the most practical way out of situations, has a good time whenever possible..gives a second look to the hot chick next door, never misses a chance to party and dance till i drop dead...
but there's more to life..mine and yours...I have decided to change a few things..When will you make your move???

somebody's me

Somebody wants you,
Somebody needs you.
Somebody dreams about you every single night.
Somebody cant breathe, without you it's lonely.
Somebody hopes that one day you will see,
that somebody's me. >:D<

A new blog...Yes, yet again!!!

This might not be the time to create a new blog, coz i havent been able to be regular at my old blog.. this might not be even the time to write a post here, coz i have soo many other impending tasks to be done..But WTF!!! I need some time off the things that i do everyday..i need some time to be with myself and think about the right things..The other day i was talking with Subbu and he just went on saying the things that were echoing inside me for long, but i just avoided. But, it was true...and i can emphatize with him, coz i know how it feels to be avoided by so many people all at once...that too for such a long duration..But u dont fikar Subbu...i will call u up once in a blue moon to light up ur mood and day...

Ok, so i have given the GMAT...cracked it too...only to realise that it isnt all that important!!! While preparing for the GMAT, it seemed to be the most important aspect of the application package...but now i realise that thought a less than average GMAT scsore is a disadvantage a very good GMAT score isnt that big an advantage (esp. at the top tier schools) and in most likelihood, it just gets discounted and the Adcoms look at the other aspects of your profile..Only had i known this earlier...i wouldn have spent days together struggling to imporve my verbal score from 36 to 41...

But the application process is pretty interesting..It has made a realise a lot of things about myself..Earlier, i was just a profile with lots of data..with so many facts..and now suddenly i feel that what's and when's of my life have been complimented with the why's and how's...I realise that there is a very strong motivation inside me that drives me to achieve more that what i would otherwise. It makes me stay up that one hour longer, try that one more time and walk that one mile more that what is required. And it makes me glad :-)

Of course, there is a flip side to the application process also...there are these daunting questions which come and haunt you.. and everytime you think u have a good responce ready...just penning it down makes u feel ridiculous about urself...

Other things happening in life:
  • Trip to Munnar and Tekkady - aWeSoMe :-) I have this liking for hilly areas, even with the acrophobia... I'm full of ironies and confilcting emotions...
  • Plan to go down to Hyderabad for the festival... Noone might meet me...noone might even know that i am in town...but mom and dad will make the trip worthwhile.. I dunno since when i have become this family loving kind of a person..
  • Darden essays have to be rewritten...Oye Moti...where r u babes???I need ur suggestions and help in some of these..
  • Lost my ATM debt card :-( This caused a pandamonium, which seems funny now...

Current mood: Cheerful

Song that i'm hummin: Dard mein bhi yeh lab muskura jate hain..... (Train)

Thats it for now...Will write more laters, as and when life starts rolling...
