Is this the secret!!!!

I had an opportunity to be in Narasinghapuram Street, which is near Ritchie Street for 4 days. After knowing about the place, I prefer to call it RICH STREET.  Place where almost any kind of electronic items ranging from local products to branded products are available. Crowd Pack Street with minimum 100 commuters in an hour walks through an approximation of 5 inch broad road. I had been there earlier, but never got had a chance to know that place. I bet you can see Chennai there. There I got the real meaning of the phrase “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty”. Busy money making feet all around, no time for anyone.

A teenager, who was giving pamphlets, spoke with me. In the conversation, I came to know he is doing this as a part time and studying in a college. He was determined to come up in his life, which made him forget the pain of standing for hours, giving pamphlets to pay for his semester fees. Irony was that, he was not taught with the needed skill relating to his course for survival in this competitive world was not offered. He said he will mug up the portions and will score, which will not help him in the long run. While working met another teenager, who, enquired about me and my whereabouts. He was a guy who can survive anywhere with his guts. A perfect example for, early money in a teenager’s life diminishes the interest to study further. He had a good score in his SSLC exam, since he started to see money during those days, he didn’t pursue his studies. He had entire moral activity one supposed not to have. Two different characters with difference in life style and goals.    

A special respect aroused after knowing the work life of the sales man. In our school days, we will complain to our parents if we get a standing punishment for some hours. But these people got to stand for the entire working hour, no chairs are provided for them. In additional they need to convince the customer, though customer convincing capability plays a vital role, lots of patients is also needed in addition. On the whole, one thing in common I found on those working or having businesses there was, they neither complained nor stopped in what they were doing, whenever they face any downfall in their life,simply moved on.They worked for today with out the expectation for tomorrow. Is this the real secret mantra for life. But this is what said by many people and written in many books.

Technology era

 Can anyone show a field were the technology is not sets its impact . I love technology beacuse it makes our imagination live. I read to lots of technical happening stuff, man its mind blowing. Competition between the cell phone manufacturing companies helps people to get some real cool technical stuff at the cheaper price. Computers are now available in slimmer thickness. Search Engines are the new library for knowledge.

 We spend lots of time in the virtual word than in the real world. Technology though gives us lots of advancement, its making us dumb sometime. My dad remembers minimum 20 people phone number, I bet our generations it will be a challenging task to do (I tried, but I couldn’t). My friend recommendation was not to work with “Netbean”(it’s a tool to code in the computer language you like , provided that language exists in this tool) ,for the only reason that it will suggest you the methods and keywords, it will reduce the burden of you coding. Hence you don’t need to remember them. Ultimately one point of time have to depend on it, and when there is a situation where you need to work on some other tool, you will be stuck.

Instead of relying we can utilize it to enhance us. As the phrase goes “too much of dependency will lead to self destruction”.  I would recommend to know about the technology but don’t get too much advantage of it. Latter on without it, it will be really hard to survive latter on. Can anyone imagine a day without search engines especially “google”.  I read in FB a funny statement “Respect your elders , because they have grown without google and wikipedia”. An undeniable fact!!!!

keep calm and hakuna matata

     How will it be if you get ice cream with daily without acting smart to your parents to convince them in your childhood? How will it be if you get a girl friend without doing anything? We won’t be knowing the true value unless we work hard for the things we possess. At one point you will start losing interest.  A monotonous work even if it benefits you, at some point will annoy you. A life without problem is like watching thalaivar Rajini movie without any punch dialogue and style movement (can’t imagine such a movie). A person can grow up only if he knows to solve a problem..

     Even God cannot give a problem free life; if he does then he will be in problem. We go to God asking him to help us solve our problem, if no problem, no one will even think of God. When you are in deep trouble, a new self of yours will be evolved. When you cross each problem the previous trouble will be nothing. When were kids, we will think, we are in big trouble if we forget pencil. The same kid when grown up, it is a prestigious issue if he brings his notes and pen regular to college(gethu coming to college bare hands).

      Rather than complaining others and fate during dark days better to stay calm and try to come off it .The main problem comes is hair fall problem if you think too much and worry about your problems(a personal advise don’t think too much to solve any issue, your issue gets solved or not , by the end of the issue nothing will be there over your head.)

      I never knew about Steve Jobs until his death. Such a great personality with values. I was also one among the mob who fears to face problems in life. But once I came to know about the Apple’s history, it was a life turning for me. If Mr. Steve complained and feared when he was sent out the his own company. This world wouldn’t have got one of the finest fashionable and one of the best technologies. Successful person now are those who face worse days, the only difference between ordinary people and them is that they faced and took their issues as a chance to rectify their mistake which resulted to the issue.

The quote which help all from trouble is “hakuna matata  ” no worries whatsoever happens. This helps us many times. When any situation goes out of our control all we need to stay calm and wait for the climax.

Special weekend

Voyage to Pondicherry

   This is the second time to Pondicherry. Though our initial plan was to Hogenakkal. Few were not able to make up, hence we changed our place to some where nearby Chennai to pass some quality time in the occasion of one of our friend visit to Chennai from the prestigious job of defending our nation from enemies over the sea surface after an year.

  The journey started with the intake of tender coconut to keep our energy high for the whole journey. Bike was the medium of transport as we can take photo’s where ever we want indeed for updating in FB mostly.3bike for 6 people. Chill air were poking our skin and water were oozing out from eyes due to over speed ,yet the thought of going to have quality time kept us moving ahead. I tried to expertise driving bike by riding a bike for 5minutes in the high way after which I didn’t have chance because of traffic . After the tiresome 5hours journey,  math calculation says we could have reached the destiny with in 4hours if we had 60kmph as our average speed(Thanks to the apts class I attended ,which helped to calculate, at least for this calculation the class proved to be benefit for me ), fun on the road  and few clicks was the ultimate reason for delay.

  Mind you one thing ,If someone have any plan to spend time in Pondicherry for weekend book rooms well in advance, else even the room cleaner of any resort will ask you to move out if u delay in booking the room there. All the economically room were booked. Hence despite of the insult from a room cleaner, we took a room. Next was the hunt for the reason we chosen Pondicherry.  It was a long hunt again. We settled by around 11pm. The occasion of truth we had some good debate about national and international affairs, ghost, love. Some got irritated for this vague topic. I never knew till this trip that Late Night beach will be so wonderful to be watched. The view of beach in the full moon day was so adorable, mere words not enough, only after witness one can understand the feel I had.

  Our plan of roaming Pondicherry was spoiled because of our delay in waking up. Auroville was the place we visited before our journey to Chennai . A place built for peace lovers.  Place where you can see natural resource still given respect and utilized for luxury purpose without harming the natural resource.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auroville this link will give a basic idea about this holy place we visited. Is phrase right “we will not know the value of a things which is nearby us, until it is taken away from us” or what? Foreigners acknowledged this place far well that we natives.

   Wheels were on fire as the bike was on 80 and 100 kmph speed towards Chennai. Always Risk factor lies ahead of any thrill. One of my friend who took me in his bike for quite long time, started to overtake vehicles. We both escaped from  2 times from crash with another vehicle. Blood were frozen for few seconds, when a car in opposite direction came straight towards our bike were both were in 90kmph speed. Have to appreciate my friend’s for safe stop of the bike in a corner of the road. Chennai roadla bike ride panna  therinja pothum can manage anywhere was the point proved . Atlast our navy officer droped me at thiruvanmayur so that I can get bus. His tips for different kinds of First aids astonished me.  There were lots of things which we do as 1^st aid in a incorrect way. It was a half an hour lecture.

   When we desperately want time ,Time will move fast. I felt in no time I reached home. Don’t know will there be any such get together but I wish to have once in a year, away from all kind of problem, spending week end with friends is a special one. After all friendship is a unbreakable bond. The fun on the road , mocking each other without ego. I don’t think any relationship will be a match for friendship.
