"Hope"-- the movie

The words perseverance, hope; I never thought would impress me that much until I watch this movie. “Hope is the good thing, may be the best of all good thing that will never dies”. Is that quote which made me think about the intensity of the word “Hope”? I really think there is so much to think before we utter these words.

I never got so much observed by a movie. A movie which has changed my thought process say the way you portrait yourself. Check this dialogue “Get busy living or Get busy dying”. Man how this guy, “Frank Darabont” would had made these character. I adore Frant Darabont. The "Shawshank redemption" is the movie I was talking about. A movie starts in a prison with Andy and Red which made a never lasting impression in my mind.

An advice, if you are frustrated or if you want to achieve anything or if you lag self-confidence. Then you are the right viewer to check this classic which will change your life for ever.

Andy and Red with Frank will change your life the way you want.

Paradigm shift

Its been quite a some time I started scraping my thoughts, now few thoughts started bothering me I wanted to post as a process to improve my writing skill and to share my thought process. Last saturday, I was out to meet my good old college seniors who has been my mentor and gave inputs to improve me Mr.Bals and few others. We planned to have dinner at some good restuarnt in cmh road, which is famous for something else than food. We met few other seniors also.

Its about six people finally started asking about their travel, marriage plans and I was watched around, because what they spoke doesnt interest me than what I was watching. Soon after some time, I gave attension when they attered the word "work". I know, people all are in Tech lead, partly manager, Research Engineer, senior analyst., but a few only liked what they where doing. But rest cant move out of this job.

They had many reasons to say that, "They cant move out". They said family, work, status, money, travel what not. Its boils down to final word the paper called 'money'. I just questioned them just proceed what you want to do, after some time, money will flow into your pocket, why your thinking that you cant do what you wanted to do.They said a lot.,[I understand one more thing, We speak a lot and we mean (really mean) only about 20~30 %, rest all we are speaking to the enviroment or the situation and for some body.]

Think of a "Paradigm shift"., where you can do what you wanted to do, you might like to do Painting, violinist, teach maths for school kids, gardening, cooking, surgeon, anything that you wanted to do or feel like doing, but for all work we all will be paid the same. But dont put lot of logic into this thought and ask what will business people do or its impossible. Just imagine a world where you will do what you want to do really, you will also have money to live. Is that a Paradigm shift ?. I dream about this place daily and always want to make my current place look like that.

I read in some book, I guess its from Fountain Head, "Your gonna work for 40 years from now, Do what you like to do, Else ur gonna waste your time and you regret at the end. U cant even change that."

Just do what you wanted to do, Then its no work, only play :-)..

The V-day, Feb 14

Its a auspicious day with a awesome evening to cheer for. As I was waiting in the corner of the corridor for her to come out of the evening class. As the bell rangs, my heart started to pump twice the normal. I was fully excited with lot of enthu, faith, bit of hesitation to start. As usual friends are giggling around. I found her walking slowly and silently giving a small sign asking me to follow her. In the midst of evening sun, in garden where you can only find roses in and around her as her friends. I plucked a rose and said to her from my heart "I love .................(full mute)......

Being Twenty-Something !!!

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start
realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere but that they are as confused as you.You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.

You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try to cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.

You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it.

We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. Send this to your twenty-something friends... maybe it will help someone feel like they aren't alone in their state of confusion... "I bend but I do not break."
