It is a little disheartening to wakeup everyday morning into such level of negatives. I am hearing negativity / judgments / sadness / War everywhere. This is not the first time I am talking about the negatives we are having around us. Each day morning the daily news paper opens with another round of sex scandals involving minors or another set of ministers doing a multi billion scandal. This is not just in India but worldwide. Then again several stories, one furnished with details on how a friend was beheaded and packed into plastic bags and buried, or how much more black money in banks or how corrupt is our current judiciary. Yes, its human nature to get attracted to such sticky news but I hardly find a news / a story or a discussion which leaves a smile of satisfaction to anyone’s face. Only question I have is if such real positive incidents and stories doesn’t happen at our times or the media is not interested in broadcasting / publishing any of those because they are only worried about their TRP and number of readers ???

Random thoughts
Eyes are really burning and still don't feel like sleeping. My dear friend Susu is sitting next to me with a half finished wine thinking about which movie to play now... So closing my eyes, it black - Pitch black. Nope looking a little close now. Its not pitch black but a collection of dots. So its not black, its more of a collection which looks like black. Yes it has got black, a little gray dots! So if you analyse black very closely you will realise black is not completely black. If you take anything and analyse closely, its not complete. Take anything, love, hatred, air, water, nothing is complete when you look at the smallest unit of it symbolises an incompleteness. So the next question arises , why to analyse anything this close? Not actual a good thing to analyse but best thing is to embrace it. The random stream of thoughts never stop but it just flows in.

Random thoughts
I guess these days I’m having more of random thoughts rather than any straight thoughts!
In this world of emails and n number of networking website and a hell lot of other ways of communication, I was wondering, if I see some one I know after a long time, will I even cross the street to meet them? I thought about it long enough in my hard race like driving from Hartford to my house. I am not sure what is all about this hurry for every one on the road. Anyway I was not in a hurry following the 65 mph limit and pissing off every one behind me in the traveler line. So back to the thought, In the era of gtalk / yahoo/ strings of emails/ facebook / myspace, we can always choose whom to ignore and whom to attend even without letting them know your choice. Even on your phone you get the choice whom to attend and whom not to. The same with the voice messages, you can always choose without hurting anyone. The technology gives us the luxury of avoiding / meeting people. There are some lucky / unlucky people are flurried with lot of communication and there are some unlucky / lucky people who don’t have much to answer. The technology doesn’t change the attitude of any one in their mind, it just gives you more option to do the same thing and have the same results. What would it take you to make that move and take the pain / pleasure to cross the street and say a Hi / hello and share the email / phone number / email id according to the depth of the friendship strength?
Yes, the major part of it would depend on the last meeting or the status of the person you just saw! No one would want to stir up some one they had avoided in he first place, but yes if it is a charming person who always remind you of the good times you had.!
So I was just thinking through the short list of people who would make me cross that little street form my daily amazing life and take time out to talk to him / her. I realized that there are not many who would make me do that, may be I have not met many charming people yet or they don’t find me charming.

Either way, it was a good thought and it left me with a good smile and some faint memories of some good old faces …..winds of smile and thoughts …it just flows through

Wishing well
I had been going around this wish well too long I guess, once I tossed a coin and it vanished. Nothing happened from there. I went on with my life thinking that well has a bottom pit and it will hit the ground some time. I had sighted coins lying around but never got the courage to take one again and wish again. Did tried picking up one lately and for a moment I touched it! I felt like it was heated and my hand got burned. It was the slightest moment and never knew if it was burned or not. I dropped it on the floor without picking it up and tossing it over to the well again. Waited too long for the first wish itself, so thought again and again, Left in the back burner of my mind and tried to forget about it. But this damn coin stares at me every now and then popping up the same question, don’t you want to check it again!
So finally I am going to pick it up again, hold it for some time to see if it is hot or it was my illusion. If can hold it, I will toss it again and wish again whole heartedly. I know it is crazy for a grown up still to believe about wishing wells but I am still a kid inside …. So holding it to see it if it is fuming I’ll get to know that soon
Wish me luck !!!!!!
Crazy analogy but if someone figures it out, keep it to yourself :D

Mood Swings
Hopefully the worst crap I have written up until now!
I thought I am a happy go lucky person. But lately I realized that I am having mood swings every now and then, on silly things. May be because I do not have much on the ‘To do list’ as cleared my certifications after 5 attempts spending around 500 $ on it! Also it looks like my client won’t throw me out until December and my parents are struggling to find a bride for me in this ‘Recession hit time American times’. So no urgent matters to be afraid off!
So when mind is empty, doesn’t have any particular goal, playing games/guitar or watching movie feels boring, there come the weirdest things to fill up one’s mind. It starts from ‘No one really bothers about me and it extends up to ‘why am I here and what am I doing’ kind of thoughts! I have read the proverb ‘An ideal mind is the devils workshop’ but at that time ‘devil’ meant only bad thoughts to me. But now I am finding different version of devils’ work including the thoughts in mind and some hard rules which are set while devil is writing the scripts for them in my mind. I am not sure how many of you, who are actually reading this will understand this crap. I am not sure, but this happens to most of the people at different stages of their life. Nothing can be empty as per natures rule and when my mind gets empty, it gets filled out with craps thoughts. Some of them are
1. Who am I? (No, this is not stolen from the famous Jackichan movie, but a wondering thought which comes around irking me now and then. This just circles around and tries to find out the source of this thought. The hardest and longest search for it found out that it originates some where from the back of my eyes, but still unable to pin point the exact location.
2. Where am I ? : Now when I look around, I am in a pool of total strangers whom I know for may be couple of years. All they know about me is what I have told them and what they have seen me in bits and pieces in last two years. For the people whom I really matter (not putting down any of my friends, but my family) I am just another phone call for some time now. All it takes is to check if the phone call had come at the stipulated time, if not they will be worried for sure but that’s it!
3. Who all will think about if I am gone! (Gone in the sense, not dead, but gone from the mod where I can communicate meaningfully. It can be a coma, mentally unstable / dead). Yes my parents will lose me, my siblings will and a first circle of relatives. Also my best friends who will be less than 10 in count. For the rest of the world, its just another person / another news in paper. Do we really worry about anyone else other than those who are really close to us? Even for the people who I mentioned, it would be a reality and they move on, as I moved on when I lost my best friend, my grandpa and many others. They just remain as a string of memory which will come along with some sparkling thoughts / situations where I miss them
4. Why everyone is busy when I am bored? I look at the long list of contacts in my phone and in Gtalk / skype and browse through each, thinking to call them / ping them. Then it comes to a state where, why should I bother people who are happy with their life and burned them with my ‘Empty life’. But most of the times when I call people or people call me, they would like and to talk, talk and talk and they seldom ask what’s happening with me. I am not sure its because the wrong expectation I have set or they just think about me only when they want to talk. ( I already told that this is crap and no need to take it in the literal meaning, but these thoughts does cross my mind now and then)
There are times when you just want to be all yourself. Not bothering to answer anyone, do nothing, but just feel floated staring away into nothing. At this very moment, everyone will try to contact you and you are left with two choice, to ignore all of them and be in your world or to answer them ignoring the mood swing. It is more like a constant tug of war in which either side wins at different circumstances and I guess that’s why we call it mood swings as it swings from one end to the other and it swings rite back when we are at the peak on any of the sides.

Bored on a saturday!
Bored
Yes you guessed it right. I am bored again as usual. It is raining out side and my roomies are out on different directions meeting up friends / shopping around in some mall. OK I tried watching different movies and all of them suck at this moment (I have to watch my language, I guess I am getting a little Americanised here :0) So what else I can do sitting at home other than making noise on my guitar / flute, have couple of beers, try talking to ppl who appear in my gtalk / yahoo who are busy with their life ignoring my pings. So I am typing things out here, yes it looks like crap :)
I had two things going inside my mind lately on a very serious note. One was anger and the other was competition. OK competition sounded nice to me when I was standing on the row at my school sports day for 200 m heats. I finished 4rth on a group of 7 :). But when the ‘competition’ creeps into your career it is not so nice! No I am not talking that I am scared of competition around my career. But looking ahead, looking at others who had lead the same life, does this competition end anywhere? We are just diving into the life head first to do our best without knowing whats in store for us!
Every day you cannot walk to your office thinking what is goanna make you work harder today other than compelling time lines and smart people around you. I know, I am not the smartest and there are lots of people smarter than me out there. But this is not a ring for boxing match,. Every one has to live! Ok, if you think this is about me, its not. I happened to be a lone worker without much of a competition around. I had my share of things a lot of time back and I guess life will throw out me on things I have to race for every now and then.
( ok I got away for two hours on the movie ‘Erin Brockovich’, got me glued into it , nice one for a bored Saturday and I love Julia Roberts, she is amazing).
OK I was talking about competition here.
Every one around me is competing for some thing or the other. Some are on the race to get a girl, some on getting a few friends and some on getting something else. This is going to stay until we live as there are fewer resources and too many hands. There is the miss world competition, the Idea star singer, the American idol. Every one wants to be the best. In each of them, people take the worst of human feeling of failure and disappointment and market it to the whole world. I guess people do enjoy that also! But there are a group of people which just born to be average in everything! What about them ? I am good at things I do once I got my mind on it. But I have been in the wrong side of a competition also. It doesn’t feel good to be on the other side always. When things are not happening for once it is ok. But if the competition grows to be a life threatening one, it is really a matter we need to look into and plan and accept! This is there in everywhere! Even Sachin Tendulkar has to play well to keep his place in Indian cricket team. He is still competing. He says he enjoys it, but I doubt if he can go on doing that for ever. Never being non guarded, always on guard, what kind of life it would be.

The moment one gets something good in their life, they have to start guarding it, because some one young and vibrant is definitely goanna come after that! I guess once we are born we have to just start running .As it is like you have to run faster than the fastest lion around if you are a deer and you have to run faster than the slowest deer around if you are the lion. One thing I get straight is one has to run fast and keep running in their life until the end! Ok I have get a new pair of shoes.

Concentric circles ......
I struggle to keep myself off drawing circles and keeping things 'in' and 'out'. But some how they just appear and things begin to fall in and out. I don’t know how they got in, but when they leave the circle, it is sure to keep my face frowned for at least from 'moments' to 'seasons'. As I am too bad in drawing or it is just the way the curves and brush behaves!!! Each time I select an invisible paint, on time the more invisible paint was, the more pronounced it becomes! Every time I thought the circle was so good and strong but the paint was too loose and it just required a gentle weep or a precious tear ….. :)
This is analogy at it heights and I want it to be like this. I hope no one understands but for those who does, I think experience taught them :)

Random thoughts ....
Random thoughts …..
I have heard about writer's block but never felt one. May be becoz I am not a writer or never got blocked without crap thoughts. But here in my new work place which is no more much 'new.
It has been 6 months and it still feels yesterday.I had several blocks to my blogging hobby. First and foremost was my smart client who have blocked all the blogging sites. So no more blog away while charging my client a hefty '$' rate per hour. Also, no time to read thru interesting posts and comments. My blog world almost came apart as I didn’t find time ….
I was busy taking drive to DMV, playing tennis / cricket, eat outs and movies. In last 6 months I must have watched 25 movies in movie theatre apart from online and movies over cable TV. The count will defenilty be more than 200 if i include everything. Went out on weekend trip 6 times, each time traveling at least 200 miles. Innumerable booze parties at house / outside and a sports fest which kept me busy through many practise sessions and matches. All of them made sure that I don’t have time to sit in front of my laptop and type out this crap. Ok I had started with the random things which came to my mind lately and I am unable to find answers for these ….
1. Every time in any of the restroom, people show all their frustration to the poor tissue paper holder. You can just pull out one tissue easily but people just hammer it / pull it / and bash it at times.
2. Why marriage is the buzz word? Every friend of mine is getting married or all they have to ask is about when’s my marriage. (And I hope that unfortunate soul is happy some where )
3. Why there is a season like winter? It is damn cold, winter doesn’t help anything. No one can farm / harvest, people cannot go out / plants can’t grow properly/ even we cannot play. Why it can’t be like without winter?
4. Why there is a day light saving? India works without daylight saving for ages. Why this country cannot live without that?
5. Why a problem is detected only at such a time frame where there is no going back but just to get stuck with it for a life time ( eg : marriage, Job and career )
Planning to continue this, rite now got a call with a production issue :(
last on ..in a hurry, why I always get some block wehn I feel like blogging away :)

Beep!!!!!
Beep …..beep-beep
Another morning….
Sound of my mobile, alarming me that it was time to get up.
(Goes inside the bath room)
Moment I entered, another beep, the heater started……
Came out after completing morning rituals with a half opened eye, again a beep, heater switching off.
Opened my doors to see what’s the temperature outside Beep-beep, the security system clicked in, another beep in while I closed it.
Went in, poured milk and kept in microwave, again after 30 seconds..Beep beep beep, milk is ready.
Went on with the day until I got into the MARTA (Public Transport) again the bus door opened with a Beep.
I showed my card over the reading machine, another beep.
Until I reach the station, it was all beep-beep of people getting in / out and showing there card to card reader. So more beeps
Went to the MARTA station. The card reader again beeped.
The train arrived and doors opened with another beep.
Each station had 6 x 4 total 24 beeps from my compartment itself. 6 doors opened and closed at each station!
Came out, walked to my office, the entrance had a card reader, again a beep.
Took the lift, it opened with a beep, stopped with another and again closed with another beep. For each floor it stopped, beeped at least thrice until I reached 23rd floor.
Went to the cafeteria, the machine required coins, I put them in, and drink is out, again with a beep…
I went to my cubicle, switched on the PC, it started giving beeps .
Then a series of beeps and buzzes from my out look. I was busy searching for mute button my pc. I realized one thing, you cannot mute/ un-mute a laptop (HP) if the logged in account is locked.
Was thinking about how many beeps we pass by everyday which requires our attention and how much attention each beep get ….. from us

Random Thoughts……continued……
There is no switch in our mind to switch from office work totally to personal life or wise versa. To say things I am not much experience on having a married life. But even then I have a personal life, taking care of lot of things.
After coming home, I feel like, ok now full stop to office thoughts and time for homely personal stuff. The moment you want to think about it, there goes the thought about unfinished status report, the mail which need follow up, the bug in the last day’s code, the web post which I need to answer …the list is endless. How do we strike a good balance on these? When my mom start talking about the food I take, my mind is some where wandering about the mail I compiled last day! But when I sit in front of my client on the status meeting, my mind goes about wondering what I will have for dinner tonight. Most of the time we live with it until an awkward moment where u are asked for something in the middle of the meeting where u were dreaming about some thing else ….and got like
‘Err …hmmm Good question; I will have to think about it’
Where the question was
‘Hey did you send that mail?’ How stupid rite?
We can hardly control the stream of thoughts when they rush in. Thoughts does not flow in with a specific intention or out come, they are just like shooting stars which started from no where and goes into something but on the way it takes time from lot of people wasting their time on stupid wishes which they think will happen just because they saw the shooting star!
When our mind is clear on what to do and what to expect, it is so easy and life seems so boring to live. The moment we get something out of ordinary, mind gets filled with excitement, fear, joy or sorrow until we get used to it and again falls into a routine which will end up in boredom soon. Do any of these things really make a sense?
All I could think is I am wasting my time on a stupid thought where I need to prepare for my meeting tomorrow with a bunch of documents, reports and have a lot to catch up with home, friends, answer some personal mails …..
Life is exciting what else we can say !

Random Thoughts !!!!!!!!!!!!
Random Thoughts!!!
I had typed out this post and it vanished from my system in a giffy.
I stared on to my monitor and realized nothing else can be done. So here it goes again, a little refined random thoughts :).
As the title suggests following is some absurd random thoughts that crossed my mind last week. As usual I missed my 7:40 am bus and I got stranded at the bus stop, all alone on a chilly windy rainy U-S morning. Temperature was something close to 51 f (10 Deg Celsius). After two minutes it started to drizzle and I didn’t have any rain/winter gears with me. So I changed my face to a ‘GUY-WHO-ENJOYS-RAIN’ from “OH-S***-ITS-RAINING” expression. But the expression change didn’t have much effect on the chilly atmosphere. My nose went numb in less than three minutes I started to shiver from my thumb nail to my temple. I was gazing out to the other side of the road when the random thought crossed my mind.
The tree right across me is also out there in the winter. The leaves have already changed its color. If (I will call tree a ‘she’) she have a mind on her own, what will be going thru her mind. She stands out in the rain/winter/sun shine, all day/night all alone. I felt a little sad at my heart thinking about the tress. In winter these trees shed their leaves which are like food plates to them. As the life is sucked out of the leaves on a winter, they change its color which is celebrated and snapped by people like us saying ‘fall is here’.
Just for one moment if we can think about being alone, being immobile all your life in one place, it is a big torture. These trees/ plants are out there in the winter without a company, without leaves, without food, without a blanket, open to all the chilling- cold-swirlling wind holding on to their roots. On a sunny day, things are not much different, no where to hide but to get fried under sun. I do think, it is not an easy life for them. Life as it does to us, test her each and every day on her tenacity to live, to adapt, to the varying season around her. The seasons roll down to them as inevitables, pushing their limits year after year until she is turned into furniture or until the she stumbles out to the fury of our Mother Nature.
Oh thee help her fight the winter hard
Let her have another season of springs
We can see her beaming smiles
With her trunks covered with leaves and cherries ….’
Oh it ended up too random :D ……

As the title suggests following is some absurd random thoughts that crossed my mind last week. As usual I missed my 7:40 am bus and I got stranded at the bus stop, all alone on a chilly windy rainy U-S morning. Temperature was something close to 51 f (10 Deg Celsius). After two minutes it started to drizzle and I didn’t have any rain/winter gears with me. So I changed my face to a ‘GUY-WHO-ENJOYS-RAIN’ from “OH-S***-ITS-RAINING” expression. But the expression change didn’t have much effect on the chilly atmosphere. My nose went numb in less than three minutes I started to shiver from my thumb nail to my temple. I was gazing out to the other side of the road when the random thought crossed my mind.
The tree right across me is also out there in the winter. The leaves have already changed its color. If (I will call tree a ‘she’) she have a mind on her own, what will be going thru her mind. She stands out in the rain/winter/sun shine, all day/night all alone. I felt a little sad at my heart thinking about the tress. In winter these trees shed their leaves which are like food plates to them. As the life is sucked out of the leaves on a winter, they change its color which is celebrated and snapped by people like us saying ‘fall is here’.
Just for one moment if we can think about being alone, being immobile all your life in one place, it is a big torture. These trees/ plants are out there in the winter without a company, without leaves, without food, without a blanket, open to all the chilling- cold-swirlling wind holding on to their roots. On a sunny day, things are not much different, no where to hide but to get fried under sun. I do think, it is not an easy life for them. Life as it does to us, test her each and every day on her tenacity to live, to adapt, to the varying season around her. The seasons roll down to them as inevitables, pushing their limits year after year until she is turned into furniture or until the she stumbles out to the fury of our Mother Nature.
Oh thee help her fight the winter hard
Let her have another season of springs
We can see her beaming smiles
With her trunks covered with leaves and cherries ….’
Oh it ended up too random :D ……
