Trying to be realistic through the learning from a stranger



This one ... i wanted to write long back.Just now found some right time for it!I met an interesting person in Chennai during February.Its about that informal meet.I applied for a job in Karur and that link somehow moved to chennai via that organisation and i got a call from the Chennai's organisation for working with children.The project seemed to be wonderful and i collected more info about it through one of my friend.I had a great feeling that i am going to be happy for another few years by working with his organisation which concentrates on children.

I was called for an informal meet with this interesting person on Sunday since i was free only on Sundays during last year.I started very early in the morning and reached little late due to the traffic.I somehow struggled and managed to arrive the place on my own. The place was so interesting!It looked like our home .... i mean " Beautiful Home".I waited for him for a while and we started our conversation with an intro about him and the organisation.

I spoke about my interests, dreams,academics,experiences, etc.... it went on and on and the conversation went for about two hours.Such a wonderful learning!The person i met has done his graduation from IIT and worked for a few months in a company in engineering sector. Since it doesn't suit him, he quit the job and taught mathematics for governmenet school children just for his satisfaction and service.Then he worked in a private school for a while and at last with the organisation i went for. Coooooooooool Chap!

Due to certain constraints, I was not able to take up the job immediately.I asked for some time to decide upon the job, thanked him for giving me a great oppurtunity to learn and share my experiences and i was about to leave the office. When i started,he invited for lunch.Initially i was not so keen, but then said ok!We went to a small place nearer to office ... a north indian place and again ... it looked like our home.But for me .. it looked like an heaven. A small place with such a nice people working in.The place was made of wood and bamboo.Very Cool! I had a simple and wonderful food with some buttermilk!I never had such a buttermilk before!Again i had an amazing learning from him but in different aspects of life based on his experiences.

I was not able to work with him since i had some constraints in moving to Chennai for certain reasons.But i really missed a great oppurtunity to work with nice people.I don't regret for it.Its my decision and it is worth always.I hope i would get an another chance to work with nice people like him in future!Hats off to this person!

Listen (or) Get a bite




Always listen for a while when you communicate, else you may have to end up something like this. Listening is a wonderful skill. I have a friend who just listens for 90% of the conversation and talk only for the remaining percentage. It’s not going to create problem anyways. You would be on a safer side. You will not hurt others, but always you will learn. You can learn so much by listening. It differs for each person. I am good listener and it had helped me in lot many ways and hope would help me a lot in future. Got inspired very much when I look at this picture. We always get irritated when someone doesn't listen us when we share something especially among friends. Here, the most pathetic people are none other than teachers. No listening happening at most of the places. The students cannot be complained at all cases. There should be more fun in the learning process which we could not see anywhere. Joy of learning is very important. Then we can expect great listening from students.

My perception about waves




Whenever i see a wave, even a little bigger than a normal one, it always remind me of Tsunami.Once, we could never see a better peaceful place than beach. After Tsunami, for me, its soemthing which takes away millions of lives together. Always looks like a horror! However i try to come out of it, after a while, unconsciously, thats the only thing strikes my mind! This is what the life is all about. Anytime, anything can happen. Be ready to face your life.Perceptions can change. Don't be judgemental and don't have prejudicial thoughts. Take people as they are. Understand them.Enjoy your life!

Look at yourself




For whatever reason it may be, look at yourself. When you enjoy, when you suceed, when you have sorrow, when you face harder things in life, when you have fun, when you help others, look at yourself. It helps you to have a picture about yourself at all the times. One of the best way to lead your life in almost every condition. Whatever happens, first, you see yourself and then think and analyse other parts of it. You can have a lot of difference! Try it! All the best!

Break from routine work




ya .... I am back after a long time. I had and I have so much to write and share with you. I didn’t find time for my work all these days. For the last few months, I was feeling low that I didn't have much to do which gives me happiness and satisfaction. So, I was just thinking what to do? Soooooooo confused about career, life, etc..... That is the time I got this offer from a friend to do a study for a week. It sounds very interesting for me. Immediately I said OK without asking her more questions. I need to go with a completely new set.

But I thought, these are very normal in the developmental sector and I was very enthu about the work. She said that the person who is going to head is such a nice person and I need to be in touch with that person forever. I had confusions in mind like whether everything will be alright. She had told very well about my work to that person. So, I was very much bothered whether I can keep up her words. I was not sooooooo bothered, but a kind of uncomfortable feeling within myself. I just had a small conversation with the person about the train name, journey date and timing.

Nothing more than that! Then, started my journey towards the station. I started a little bit earlier in order to be there sometime before as the person expected. This is called as" TIME". I reached the station two hours before and I was just observing each and every one in the station. Amazing experience! Then read for a while, conversations over mobile to family members and friends started and it continued for a while even though I don't like doing it since I was bored.

Most of the people around us start to talk via mobile in order to stay away from loneliness and to avoid the feeling of "getting bored". We can see this culture everywhere. Nowadays, no strangers talk without any reasons ... even on the road, bus, train, etc.. Whatever they need, a call from mobile will do. They avoid relationships. Sometimes it may sound better. But it’s closing the circle in the society. Everyone is concerned only about them self.

There is a large feeling of “Selfishness" developing with everyone in this generation. I started somewhere and I had gone somewhere. This is the beauty in writing. No one has any control over your hands and feelings. You can express whatever you feel like! So, I started writing to say that .......... at last I met one of the wonderful person in my life. In the few hours’ discussion I had with that person about the one week study, I understood that, he is very concerned about the society and works for right based approach for several communities.

I observed lot many small things in that person. Such a personality! Very simple, humanistic, straight forward, caring, cool, more helping tendency, lives life as he wants to be , honest, etc........That person lives as he wants himself to be .... Great meeting! Will continue to write about the days in study with this personality later.....

Feel of being loved



One of the Great day of this year!Ya.... It may sound silly. But still it means a lot.Got a call from one of my family friend,Organisation friend,etc.... I thought the care disappeared all of a sudden .I got a feeling that people stay only when happiness is there around you.Otherwise,everyone tempts to stay away with/without reason.I get this feeling with people whom i have known for years together ,been in touch but never expressed our feelings.Last year was very bad for me.Nothing happened as i wished.This year,from the start,i could feel ... there is a difference.I am getting into a new life.I have started working on my dreams.I have been meeting very nice people from the start and i am learning everyday.This day is one of the amazing day,unforgettable moment in life.I could not straight away put my words for my feelings.It very difficult.It may take years to get the exact words.... that's where i am working on!

Expected ??? Surprise ! ! !




Oh God!

I received an invite from one of my classmate after so many years. I heard of his marriage .I have spoken very few words with him when i was in college.But i like him so much!He is such a nice person with whom i felt that he has so much respect for women.Its my inner feeling.I never knew whether it's true.I was waiting for the invite as i got this information few days back.I don't want to get disappointed later.so,i just stopped thinking about it.I missed a lot of things in my college life which i don't want to miss at least now.But i am lucky!Sooooooooo......... nice !Hence,it's an expected ...... but still a surprise!Sounds good!

Feeling better today




Whenever we feel bored,we always want to do something different which will give us happiness.Similarly i am very much bored by the work i am with now.I have been struggling for months together to come out of it.But something is stopping me saying that it's a learning experience and i will get a better option soon.All of a sudden,today i met a person from my organisation whose words have soothened my feelings.It gave me a strength saying that "don't lose hope".we can do more for the people.we need to take more efforts,we should start fighting,struggle to get our rights,to help our people....... i shared my views a lot in front of my colleagues after a long time.I am refereshed.I am energetic now.Hence in this few months,today is one of the day in which i am feeling better.I think this blogspot will help me more to make me a better person and it indirectly gives me a strength to become a person i wanted to be.Felling a lot better!I am happy.

Long time Dream




It was my dream to become an efficient writer.I never knew how much i can do for this society through my physical work.I always had doubts of how to share my views with the society.I loved to write since childhood.But it had been more than ten years since i wrote something. I have stopped writing some years back.I have been trying my level best to start back to write in the last two years when i was doing my social work.These years helped me a lot to give me a shape of how i am now!i am myself now ... it's also because of this exposure i had in these years.I hope this blogger would help me more to share my views and to mould me as a person i wanted to be in another few years.I am so happy now.I could see a spark in my life after so many years.looking forward to hear your comments to become an efficient writer on social issues.
