Why is it important to differentiate between a Career and a Life..

Must admit that this blog never needed any adrenaline boost nor did the life kick me hard. Since I am the only ingredient of this subtle soup of my life , albeit penning down at the oddest hour ....



Dissect your life into two halves.. One when you were a 16 year old dreamer (satisfied )and the other when you are a 28 year old slogger (smugly self -satisfied) . Nothing has changed.. you close ones still set the same expectations on you, your "larger than realistic" relatives still comment...You prefer the same Polo T shirts and smoke the same brand of cigarrettes.

What has changed is a "dreamer turned slogger ".

Precisely , Why is it important to differentiate between a Career and a Life...

As long as you are aloof to your life , you are contented and happy, and then you see your counterparts slogging and you realize what a loser you have been .. That sinister 2*2 matrix of Success & Money , you desparately try to fit yourself there > You suddenly want to earn more > bleed in the competition >rise to the pinnacle,only to retire and live a happy life.. Umpteen times this has been repeated... but you still struggle read between the lines. Oblivious of the fact is that you allow yourself to be judged better by others than you do yourself.

If only you could realize that the matrix was a self proclaimed baby of a gentleman who never emphasized that both these elements were missing when you were born , and shall display similar traits of brutal & dishonest camaraderie when you lie in your grave !!

Must stop for a minute and mention about a friend of mine , a terrifc MBA lad who was joined an MNC.I could sense the change in him from the early days.. His persona was significantly affected by the toll. Not always does the relationship between Work and Employee turn out to be symbiotic ....The smile was there every evening , just that the honest effort required to to bring it on the face increased significantly with each passing day! He was doing wonderful in the firm but something was missing somewhere ..Shockingly , this chap dropped his papers somedays back. When i asked him the reason , plain came the reply " I wasnt enjoying what i was doing and i need a break to understand what i want ".. To many this might seem a foolish act of impulsive decision making..many would also doubt his maturity level ... compare it with theirs.. and stroll way with a complacent smile on their faces but what he did needed guts...and what gave him that was his own self belief... He hasnt lost anything.. he was in the Wrong job ,doing Perfect things..but ultimately he realized that he was doing Perfectly Wrong things !! Not many of us get to this level...



Allergy - Is a known one...spreads like a flu..destroys your state of mind , and the real you!

Remedy - You are no immortal .. encash the smallest of the happiness, exult at the minutest of the victories.. touch base the farthest of the friends...and show reverence towards the "Strange yet Beautiful" life...



Dont die each day while living when all you shall think at your death bed is that " You Forgot To Live " !

The Loser Stands Alone......

My tryst with destiny never reached to a point where I would be writing blogs that bring out the loser in me.I always had the privilege of being in the company of some of the wonderful friends. Friends that brought the best out of me, those who chuckled on my nonsensical jokes and whose shoulders were always there to support me.....

 I had always accepted the fact that Man was a creator of his own destiny but somewhere hidden between the lines was an underlying truth that " Man might be a creator his own destiny but not the driver definitely...".. Oblivious of the obvious facts were subconsciously denied by me.. So well engrossed I was in flying my Kite of life that i lost the string......and now while i pen down my thoughts , i wish i had stronger hands.....or had the wind been more stable ..

Fate strikes often when you are most vulnerable...
 The expectations were the poison , my nonchalant nature the catalyst..Behind all superficial smiles and laughs lies the seriousness of life, seriousness which might drag you to the Abyss unless you identify it.... The time and treasure will never come back... but words of wisdom imperatively have left an impression in my mind.... Life will go on and so will I... but something somewhere has changed..maybe my perspective of looking at life !!

My Valentine!!

It’s been late night and I write these lines!
Trust binds us and further love defines!

And today this connect goes 2 months strong!
Brief are the days but nights are long!

Quick coffees with you,
Are always a delight!
The places where we meet,
The places where we fight!

Dizzy with emotion,
I grab hold of your hand.
And I kiss your both cheeks,
Before you understand!!

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up every day,
To the sound of your breath on my neck,
That takes my sleep away!

The warmth of your lips on my cheek
And the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Makes me feel so blessed,
The thought is so divine.....

But you make me feel timid when problems you don’t share!
All I am left with is worries and blank stare!

Part Of you as I am, I have all the right!
I vow to take all troubles, stay always in my sight!

No matter when I shout, no matter when I cry!
No matter when eyes are moist, no matter when they are dry!

Each moment passes by and I always think of you!
If given a chance, I would love to die for you!

I LOVE YOU for giving this heart to me,
Then trusting me with your pride!
I LOVE YOU for wanting me,
And needing me by your side.

I LOVE YOU for the way you are
And for how you make me feel
But essentially I LOVE YOU
Coz I know you are mine for real....

Do u see it ?

Wish you could see ,the tear in my eye , It says it all!
wish u could come and hold me , before i fall!

maybe i dont show it , maybe i am so weak,
but then u r the one , whom i always seek!

How cum , u dont see it , n u turn yr eyes blind!
u walk so far away , leavin memories behind!


I love you, not for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you !
though ,I cant express much, with words small n few!

Somewhere there's someone who just dreams of your smile..
u may be far away , the distance worth a mile!


If you wish to love me only in my dreams, let me be asleep forever !
i hate to face the truth , i hate to hear "Never"!!

My heart craves for you and my soul dies for you!
Some Day You'll Cry For Me Like I alwayz Cried For You !

HardCoer

U me ,they,we all four,On this 5th floor,in Bangalore!Have been wondering why we have no gurlfrnd Or do we pretend!To be a bunch of bad guys ,Dat ain't play with toys Searchin for the one gurl The shinning pearl! waiting for her Cravin for her ,hr by hr ,day by day Hopin she wud fall in someday! But then we rea...lize ,dont fall for the charming eyes!!There ain't a magic ,the ends goona be so tragic!!!
I nevr wantd this ,I was a free bird that had no bound ,All ws well until u were found!Look wat u hav made me , U have played me , betrayed me And on the Top Of dat , every NightU start yr Fckin CAT fight --" Gautam , why did u do this , wats Wrong , Are u Dumb , are u Deaf " ...--- I m still standing here screamin "Wat da F"

I am definitely not, wat you expect!

i ain't dat bad, plzz dnt suspect!

But life has become suddenly so shit!

and i m survivin , bit by bit !

Wat evr i hav asked, has never been achieved!

i have been cheated, i have been decieved!!

competition too much, here and there!!

U keep complainin , and u land nowhere!!

So, Hell with the Ratrace, i hereby quit!!

Coz i am a trail blazer, i am so full of Shit!!

The more i complain , the more i frustrate!

If u thnk dat "lyfs better", den plzz Illustrate!!

U may a mistake and u loose the game!

This is the maze of name and Fame!!

bettr be alert, bettr be awake!!

coz sumones watchin evry move u make!!

But now dat i hav the time and the space!

I tend to feel dat i lack the solace!

Every night i dream of being a better guy!

But nevr stick to it ,as the time passes by!

Maybe because my dreams were to high,

Maybe because i never had the thought!

To make a stand , i never ever fought!

So here i lie, and hold a pen!

This thought troubles me , nw and then!

Life doesnt give you a second chance!

Strive to do the best, just dont glance!

Its good to dream ,but do chase them ,when awake!

Coz life was never ever , apiece of cake!
