Save Water
- the hub of life
Few suggestions I have:
1. Tap the tap.
2. Wash your car with a bucket, not with a hose.
3. Have a quick shower, instead of a bath.
4. Use a low flow tap.
5. Reuse your kitchen water and bathroom water for your garden.

The speed( Ω )breaker and the COME BACK
I always hate medicines and going to clinic for any consultation. I am good enough to keep myself fit, hale and healthy. And I was too fast in my life (that’s what my friends say about me) – my brain didn’t accept that – it instead speeded up. Yes, my life was going at a pace it is supposed to go. And here it is: there was a speed breaker in my life (will it come again?) and that was my accident. This happened during the second year of my career. I usually commute to office by bike.
One fine day, after I reached office, I gave my bike to my brother for his use that day. So, after my work, one of my friend gave a lift till the nearest bus terminus, where I got a bus to a common place. That’s where I will get a direct bus to my place. I got down and started walking towards the bus stop. To describe about the place, it’s always crowded by vehicles and people. It’s a row of shopping streets – a main area in the city (T.Nagar in Chennai). And I saw my bus and started walking towards it. Some more buses were standing with engines on. There were seats available in my bus, I could see it. Feeling happy, I just walked little faster (but didn’t run – I do know running in a dense area would not be advisable.) thinking not to waste time waiting for the next bus. Now I am near my bus. There was another one standing perpendicular to my bus, but it was not close, they both had a gap of 10ft. I am near the door of my bus. One elderly person was struggling to get in. I helped him and I got the grip of the handle and took my first step to get into the bus. The bus that was perpendicular started coming reverse – I didn’t notice this and all of a sudden – it happened. I am falling down. My mobile, shoes were flying off from me. Now, I am under my bus. My bus started moving. People started shouting and luckily the driver could hear it, he immediately stopped (Thank God). With my left arm broken, I can feel it like a cloth, I can’t lift it. It’s paining. I know there was an accident. Luckily I was conscious, I could shout for help. People started getting into a circle around me eager to know what had happened.
There came a great human of my age, who had the guts to pull me out from the place where I was and he called a vehicle (an auto) – he lifted me along with another small guy (he must be some 10 years old) and they took me to a nearby clinic (I am going to a clinic after a long time, should be after 3/4 years) I was given a wheel chair, I was holding my left arm with my right hand. The person who took me to the hospital was beside me, he is talking to me, I could sense that. I told him to call my friend (the same who dropped me a short while ago) I spoke to him, couldn’t speak much, that guy took over the phone and explained the situation. My friend arrived and he was trying to get in touch with my other friends. He called everyone and all of them came immediately.
I could see doctor telling that I need a POP around my hand. I don’t want to put that in my left arm (with which I write)… no other choice I was treated with that. I was feeling hungry, had a juice. Suddenly I realized that there is something wrong with my stomach – an immense pain which I couldn’t manage. Tears started flowing down my eyes. I told my friends, there is something wrong in the abdomen part. My x-rays came by that time and it was both bone fracture at my left arm and a minor fracture at pelvis bone. There was some wound in my left knee (it was carved kind) – I am wondering how it could’ve happened (my pant was without any damage). Some doctor came to investigate on my stomach pain. It’s really paining. I can feel my death. Doctors told that there could be blood leakage in the abdomen part and I am dying. Friends have been told by the doctors to take me to a big hospital – I suggested a name to them. I was in the ambulance with drips. Rushed to the other hospital…
When the ambulance reached the other hospital, the hospital authorities didn’t allow us inside the hospital thinking the injury might be because of a political clash/drunk drive. Or they could have thought about the financial potential. My brother was there and he said the hospital people that I have a mediclaim insurance card with which we can reimburse the expenses; they admitted me, rushed to the operation theatre for my fatal operation. I can remember exactly what the surgeon (he knew the urgency of operation) to my brother, “the condition is very worse, he needs to be operated for his abdomen first as QUICK as possible, it can't be operated with endoscopy, but only with cleavage since we are not sure how big the wound inside is” My brother understood the situation and got it moved to the other level. Some hospital guys were around me and they were removing my dresses and making me ready for the operation. I was in slight unconsciousness because of some injection that I had been given. Then they took me to the operation theatre, on the way, I could see my friends standing with tears in their eyes and an unsaid worry in their heart; this is what I would like to talk about. You feel special when you are blessed with so many friends and you will feel all the more special when you feel all of them in you. That’s how I felt when I was on the way to operation theatre. Finally I reached the operation theatre, I was given global anesthesia. And it was not working. They increased the anesthesia level. I could speak some words with the doctor explaining him the accident. He kept talking to me, I stopped talking. I was asleep because of the GA. I woke up after 17 hours and I was in cold ICU. It was really cold. I felt my whole body as a cloth. Cutting the whole story short, I would like to thank the hospital staffs (duty nurses, helpers, house keeping department) – everybody have the humanity in blood. That is more important for a patient. I realized this during my stay in the hospital. Finally I recovered after a fortnight of bed rest in spite of doctor telling about 3 months of complete rest. I don’t want to be idle and wanted to come back to routine as soon as possible. And I was back as I expected. THE COME BACK!

Personal hygiene
This time – It’s Swine Flu (am in Pune, Maharashtra) and people really started thinking about their health & nutrition. We do notice things only when they get worse. We do notice our fitness only when we get sick. Tell me frankly, when do we think about our fitness? Every morning we get up/every day/every week… hardly? We do have all the facilities to take good care of our health. We have food to eat, we have places to rest, and we have everything. Think of those who don’t have any proper food to eat, proper place to rest… that’s a different topic altogether. Live like them one day and only then we will realize the importance of all things we are blessed with. Yes, we do realize things only when we miss them. Health is something that is within our control. I can really understand if it is natural calamity or disaster, in which we have less/no control. Being the cause for your sickness, you do regret that later. Why shouldn’t you take care and take precaution? Personal hygiene and self awareness is what I wanted to talk about here. If you are good with respect to personal hygiene, you don’t have to worry about life threats due to all these outbreaks. Use all the resources (including your brain) to boost your immune system. Boost your WBCs. Boost yourself.
Industries and companies are increasing; places are becoming more cosmopolitan; automobiles increase at it's own pace; deforestation; scarcity of water, energy… so many reasons for environmental change. These needs to be addressed, but till then, what’s our take on this? GET USED TO IT. That’s the best way. Same time, be the change you want to see. YES, do something that can change things from HOW THEY'RE NOW to HOW THEY SHOULD BE. You can’t change everything in one day, but keep trying. You will not be suffering due to sudden change in climate, change of place, change of food, etc.
I do agree, that any parasite/viral/bacterial attack (if it is new for our human body to face) is beyond control at any present time, but keeping a good control over personal hygiene will definitely reduce the chances of becoming a victim. Do you agree my view here?

Things that you don't see
Now I feel the mositure of that day's rain...near my eyes...
as tears...
It is not just tears, which you can see...

the blood of my heart, which you can't see or even feel
I still feel the moisture of that day's rain...near my eyes...

நாளை காலையாவது என் அம்மாவின் இனிய குரலில் எழ மாட்டோமா என்று!

ONLY ONE
Mom... She is the only one who knows how to love others and CAN NEVER give up that habit.
Most of the other beautiful things in life doesn't come in ONE, they always come in multiples...friendship, stars, rain, grandparents, career, dream, etc etc... Mother is the only beautiful thing that comes in ONE.

I leave behind my worries,

Sense of Freedom
There is a sense of freedom in living alone!
sometimes, I sleep late...
sometimes, I wake up late...
sometimes, I roam around...
sometimes, I think of going beyonD...
sometimes, I listen to my silence...

Life isn't fair to anyone. Accept it. Keep going!

Song of My Heart
My heart is broken
not even mendable pieces are left
simply particles of dust
that blew away
that blew far, far, away
along with the last drop of my trust.
Stabbing thorns hurt so badly
I could have screamed
could have cussed
But I didn't
I refused
I just let them hurt and build
and hurt more and more
till I was just confused
more than I could imagine
Its based on only one thought
I have no one
no one
no one will ever truly care
then...
a voice softly says...
with the sound of injury
"Don't you remember you still have me?"
With the sense of my soul, I write this...
deep within the heart, I have a pain...
...unexpressed, unknown...
tears rolling down my cheeks with a smile on my lips...
tears shed by eyes are known...
tears shed by heart???
who will listen to my silence?
Hid your feelings
bear the pain of life and
feel the burning sensation of consciousness loss
- that's what I feel now!
hey heart,
come closer,
forget the past,
dissolve yourself in the bitter truth...
I am expecting my life to come to me!
I open my arms in the air...
Search the poem of my life,
if not,
recover my dreams and me...
Don't ask me about the pain,
I, Myself don't know that...
not even mendable pieces are left
simply particles of dust
that blew away
that blew far, far, away
along with the last drop of my trust.

நம்பிக்கை
பிரயாணத்தில் ஒரு பெண்... கையில் குழந்தை...
நிற்க இடம் இல்லை...
குழந்தையை வாங்கி மடியில் அமர்த்தி கொண்டேன்...
அப்பெண் இறங்குமிடம்...
இறங்கினாள்...
நன்றி உணர்வுடம் ஒரு பார்வை...
குழந்தையின் வெள்ளி கொலுசை தடவி கொண்டே!

My Environment, My Home
I believe in Environmentalism, of course I want Green to be always GREEN and GREENER.
So many places to see, so many places to wander, so many places to enjoy, how far it may be. It is we who turn ON the environment, and many a times, turn it OFF. Yeah we do it often (un)intentionally. Keep a fridge open for some time without purpose, and there you pollute the environment. Spit in all the places you walk, throw wastes wherever you go, adulterate the products you sell, take your vehicle for a distance that you can cover in walking, etc – you turn the environment OFF. Exponentially increasing environmental issues – that’s what I am worried about. Let’s move towards a greener world together. Living close to Nature is a simple life. Let’s give it a try.
I am introducing Greenpeace, an international NGO that is devoted to nonviolent confrontation as a means of bearing witness to environmental wrongs and bringing issues into the public realm for debate and, solutions as well.
Today is World Environment Day!

Our Roles
Our roles – I have compared mine even at some places.
As a person:
Over these years, I have had very Little time to think about myself and how am I useful to my family, friends, society, to the extended society (I mean my office where I spend x% of my lifetime – this is something I want to change, let’s talk about that later), to neighbours, to (un)known persons, etc, etc. My analysis got me a result, where I found myself somewhat better than OK while interacting with everyone, I don’t (to be frank, can’t even) expect a mastery here. Some people out in my circle could have expected so many things from me, which I could have not fulfilled (un)intentionally, it depends on who are they! As I said in my earlier posts, some people deserves a NO, some deserves a STRICT NO. But these are very good learning for me for the entire lifetime. After all we learn by our own mistakes.
We learn…
…by the life… of our own…
We live better…
…by experiences…of our own…
We get experiences…
…by mistakes…of our own…
I have done so many mistakes again (un)intentionally – but learnt from everything – either that we can escape from any damn bad thing or getting trapped for a silly mistake. So I know my morality. After all its my life. I got to decide without compromising the behaviour I got to follow with everyone I interact. Simple, I got to live without hurting others. Sometimes, I get hurt badly in order to keep this principle intact. The mistake out here is I getting hurt because of someone/something that is not worth it. I got to learn J
As a professional:
This is one thing which I like to write about. Either you can be master-blaster or a master-piece, you got to have an open mind in the professional area of your life. All five fingers are not the one and the same. So, get ready for the change. CHANGE is the key area in this environment. No matter, whether you work for a government organization, or an enterprise, or a NGO, or an IT/ITES firm, you got to maintain the spirit and individuality without affecting the essence. Of course, you have got your own individuality (great or not doesn’t matter – you can learn it anytime.) Need for the hour is you with your own attitude. Needn’t be a leader, at least be a follower. If you can step forward and create foot paths for others to follow, fair enough. If not, even that is fair enough. Let’s learn the things we miss. Willingness to learn is the primary thing. I have been in these two places. I love to learn.
Expectations are less for a professional. Work for yourselves, not for anyone. Talking about rewards and recognitions, they will follow if you have a good attitude.
As a student:
I am fascinated to see me as a student (18 years of education.) I hardly remember that I studied, went to tuition. I never did that. But I studied on my own. Leave out the students who study day and night, over-night study (something freaky), etc, etc. I have had a very good college experience, rocking on every possible thing, right from classroom sessions and seminars to national level symposiums and inter-collegiate events. I am a good listener (which I am proud of being one) so as I stayed with my friends, I got to teach them what I listened in the class (sometimes, after referring some notes.) My friends were so happy to have me with them, I used to tell them the short tricks and tips in passing the minimum required score (most of the students wanted this way of study) And the most important thing is I am the last bencher (ask anyone about the last benchers – they would tell you the story) and my lecturers would always wanted me to be somewhere else other the last bench. I used to put a smile on my face telling them, I am very fine with this place. Neither my parents nor my relatives asked me to study hard to score better. When my friends used to study for good grades, I used to tell them, a good score doesn’t mean that the study was good. Scoring is different, as it depends on many criteria. But skill is important, which is not evaluated in most of the exams. I have everything learnt (not studied) and I used to learn more from the life that I led, than from the books and guides. I am still learning. Schools are those break-through points where you study how to learn throughout the rest of your life. Let’s learn.
Keep going.
As a person:
Over these years, I have had very Little time to think about myself and how am I useful to my family, friends, society, to the extended society (I mean my office where I spend x% of my lifetime – this is something I want to change, let’s talk about that later), to neighbours, to (un)known persons, etc, etc. My analysis got me a result, where I found myself somewhat better than OK while interacting with everyone, I don’t (to be frank, can’t even) expect a mastery here. Some people out in my circle could have expected so many things from me, which I could have not fulfilled (un)intentionally, it depends on who are they! As I said in my earlier posts, some people deserves a NO, some deserves a STRICT NO. But these are very good learning for me for the entire lifetime. After all we learn by our own mistakes.
We learn…
…by the life… of our own…
We live better…
…by experiences…of our own…
We get experiences…
…by mistakes…of our own…
I have done so many mistakes again (un)intentionally – but learnt from everything – either that we can escape from any damn bad thing or getting trapped for a silly mistake. So I know my morality. After all its my life. I got to decide without compromising the behaviour I got to follow with everyone I interact. Simple, I got to live without hurting others. Sometimes, I get hurt badly in order to keep this principle intact. The mistake out here is I getting hurt because of someone/something that is not worth it. I got to learn J
As a professional:
This is one thing which I like to write about. Either you can be master-blaster or a master-piece, you got to have an open mind in the professional area of your life. All five fingers are not the one and the same. So, get ready for the change. CHANGE is the key area in this environment. No matter, whether you work for a government organization, or an enterprise, or a NGO, or an IT/ITES firm, you got to maintain the spirit and individuality without affecting the essence. Of course, you have got your own individuality (great or not doesn’t matter – you can learn it anytime.) Need for the hour is you with your own attitude. Needn’t be a leader, at least be a follower. If you can step forward and create foot paths for others to follow, fair enough. If not, even that is fair enough. Let’s learn the things we miss. Willingness to learn is the primary thing. I have been in these two places. I love to learn.
Expectations are less for a professional. Work for yourselves, not for anyone. Talking about rewards and recognitions, they will follow if you have a good attitude.

Road Ahead
Today is the last day for the ballots as it closes the election curtain and May 16th will be the result... Okay, a new government is however going to be formed...(may be a coalition) with the battles between the parties... and the compromises on the politician's sins, defaults...etc etc...and the literal word fighting between the contestants...and the silly promises of gifts during elections... leave all those... however govt is going to be formed... the road ahead for the new government is a clean slate where they MUST reiterate, revamp, initialize the existing/new policies across the nation.
Infrastructure is the main area that needs to be addressed. Release of Tata's nano will invoke chaos in the country's roadways...National highway projects are in hault because of lack of funds, recession hit, and other consecutive factors. Steel consumption is going to hit hard in the near future and as well as power. Power cuts have become a mandate for all the houses... National security has become a bigger concern. No stringent action against the ill-doers (I strongly feel that these culprits are in india as well) are taken. Without internal support, no plans would work this way as it had happended several times, we have seen the latest in Mumbai. It's like slapping the same face again and again as there is no objection. Isn't shame on us? Govt should do something or the other in this... let me put this way... PUNISH the CULPRITs... there seems to be no other way to stop these.
Last but not least, regulations, law and order, governance, administration needs to be streamlined with proper new/revamp of policies.
The way ahead shouldn't be a choice.

My kind of love...
What could be greater than love? A feeling that oneself has for his/her beloved and doesn't change no matter what. I have had this experience enough for my lifetime... we interacted, laughed, quarreled, discussed, impressed each other, treasured each other, valued, felt, loved and ...lived...
Love - cherished at heart and immortal gradually growing towards its extremeness (may be mad, madder or maddest - I enjoy going with it, its all how you take it up...)
She was an angel from above. She was the first to touch me ;) When I am scared, she soothed me with her gentle, soft hands wiping away my tears. She understands my silence, my tears, my smiles, my anger, my everything and She is my life. Her heart, I am sure, that's where I am going to live for ever and ever. The happiest days of my life were spent in her arms... She never used to get angry whatever I do... Here comes my MOM.
I love you mom ever and ever, no matter whatever happens. I know your value and appreciate for being the best in my life...

...being a lighthouse...
Always a pleasure to keep others happy and smiling, taking the pains and sorrows with you. I have had this experience with all my kins&kiths. No wonder, I am a kind of outcast now... Thought of breaking up all the myths and unrealistic traditions, and landed up learning the lessons that life teaches you throughout the entire lifecycle. During this learning, I got so many questions unanswered and unsolved, as it goes, it is always true that some questions doesn't have any answers :( ...hmmm. back to the topic of being the lighthouse... sometimes, you find yourself happier, happier than ever before when you shed tears for others.
Yes "TEARS SHED FOR OTHERS ARE ALWAYS BETTER".
Throughout my life, that I have lived up until now... I have gone thru some people (yet to see so many) who used me to any extent and who really shared their joys and sorrows with me as a true friend. Nothing could stop me from cherishing all the moments I had these days... I have been a mentor, friend, teacher, guide, counsellor, to all kind of people. I loved the pleasure in giving. And following words say it all.
"Absolutely everything we do, give, say or even think, it's like a boomerang. It will come back to us. If we want to receive, we need to learn to give first... Maybe we will end with our hands empty, but... our hearts filled with love... And those who love life, have that feeling marked in their hearts." - Steven Covey
Yes, Giving is far better than expecting.
This is the secret of being happy with the life.

Reading
Books are my assets and I have been tasting a fruitful ROI on this asset always and always. A person who can think never feels boredom in his/her life. A person who read, read and read never goes without any thoughts. There are so many things in this world to think about, poverty, LPG (i mean Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalisation), economy, war, history, love, etc, etc. Hey, we got to think about ourselves sometimes...right? I enjoy doing that. Coming back to reading, this is one habit that cannot be cultivated unless you have the desire to learn as you grow older. The level of maturity and intelligence (as well as the untapped potential within you) grow as you read...provided you read between the lines and implement them (if it can be) on your day-to-day life. Don't say me you don't have time to read. Reading is not an effort, it's an investment. Unless you understand this, you will never have time. Reading is pleasure, and it has to be treasured. Shall we?

Education System
I strongly believe primary education has got nothing to do with what's your future is, but it's the basis of all that you do for the rest of your life... come on, don't blame that our system is not good enough... obviously I agree, there is always a room for improvement in everything; administration, security, employment, education, blah blah blah... You could have never thought of any better thing if you are not a literate. Things change and change forever... Won't it not be boring if you have the same stuffs everyday? The reason why I feel our education system is OK is we got to know about what we see everyday...the speed at which the tubelight glows, the sickenss we get thru pollution, the reason why we are thirsty (all about energy!)... We get to know how much is one rupee, how many states are there in India, the languages spoken, who are the leaders, etc, etc.
It's clear... with this kind of education, you should think enough to learn for the rest of your life... if you are not, then you haven't learnt the art of learning. Learning is a continuous process and the schools teach you the basics and you got to be smart enough to pick the technic of learning. Otherwise you will end up blaming the system u had gone through as most of the people do.
You learn in schools the art of "how to learn the rest of your life." Do we really? How many people are matured enough to look for learnings everyday they live in this earth? Do they really concerned about this lifelong learning? Okay, that's altogether is a different topic. Let's talk about that later.
