Those of you who follow my blog would be aware that it has been a long time since I’ve last posted. Some of you already know what has been going on in my life, but most of you don’t. For those of you who do not as well as the rest of you it’s time for me to fill you in…

I quit my Job with Sutherland. So no more posts about Sutherland, Dell and Calls!! I have been quite busy all these days doing preparations for my visa and other stuff. And roaming with School and College Friends! Thats the reason for very less posts all these days. Pardon Me!

Im leaving to USA on 2nd January to do my Master’s Degree. At this moment i am not at all sure of what’s in Store for Me after this January! What i am going to do… What kind of place im going to live in(Though i have seen the photos and other stuff, its different to live there!)…  What kind of Friends i gonna make… Most Importantly, How am i going to study for the Next Two Years!!!

I Believe in this verse from the Bhagavad Gita…

“Ethu nadanthatho, athu nandragavae nadathathu. Ethu nadiratho, athu nandragavae nadakirathu. Ethu nadakkavirukiratho athvum nandragavae nadakkum”

“20yrs frm now u wil b more disappointed by the things that u didnt do than by the ones u did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away frm the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in ur sail. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Thats is what i am going to do now… Life’s Calling!

I used to be kinda’ low, depressed, sad… on seeing how poor people suffer! There was this old man who clears the over grown grass on our garden. He always comes after 12pm. My mom asked him why he’s coming only in the afternoon and is working in the scorching sun, whereas it would be easier for him in the early mornings. His reply, “Mathyanam vantha thaane saapadu tharuveenga madam” (Only if i come in the afternoon, i can have some lunch!) According to him, if he works early in the morning, he’ll get only the koolie(wages) for his work. Whereas, if he works in the afternoon, it would be lunch time and he can get the lunch for that day as well as the money. Makes, me think how hard people work to get the basic necessity of life, Food!  Even today, while returning home, i saw an old man picking up rice which fell on the road. Apparently, the plastic cover in which he was carrying the rice tore open and fell down from his cycle. So, he was picking up the pieces of rice from that dirty road, clean it and then eat! Now I feel bad about wasting food!!!

But, after pondering over these kind of things all these years… And out of experience… I’ve come to accept the Truth! The Reality!

Everyone in this world cannot be Equal! It is against the nature of man. There is something unique in everyone. Right from his Date of Birth, Place of Living, Fingerprints, Appearance, Qualification, Attitude, Tastes, etc etc. A talented man cannot be asked to be satisfied with what a man totally devoid of talent is able to obtain from life. If all of us are equal, we would be like machines, robots!

No one can be equal to someone else. Even then, i pray to God that the divide between the Poorest and the Richest is not this huge as it is these days, in India.

You always learn something about life everyday. In other words, Life teaches something new about something each day. Here under this Category “Life’s Lessons” i’m going to Post what I learnt from Life!

You must have always wondered, why there are some people who always end up on top. Even I used to wonder why? A friend told me that there are some that are just plain lucky. That’s just a humbug. No one can be plain lucky, luck happens when someone tries something and ends up successful in that. The people who win are people that go out and do things, win or lose. Yeah they might lose sometimes, but you don’t usually remember them for losing, you remember them for winning.

I think that’s the big difference. These people actually try to do new things. They are bold, and will take the initiative in all things. Life has taught me that you will get what you want only if you decide what you want and do all those things that will give that to you!

Don’t say that you are bored and nothing is happening in your life. Nothing is happening because you don’t make it happen. If I’ve learned anything its that life won’t just fall in your lap, you’ve gotta go and make it happen.

Now I’m working at DELL learning new things and talking to different people each day. I took the initiative, i attended the Interview and I got selected. It wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t finally get off my but and do something about it. I’d have been sitting at home after finishing college and waiting for DoJ like many others.

Guys, take a note. Get off your buts and go do it. Take the initiative, get into the middle of things, do something for once for yourself. You won’t be happy in life until you take control of your life and get out there and live it. It’s all just a state of mind.

You jus’ have to Do It! And Luck/Fortune whatever you call it, will follow! You know what…

Luck has a Peculiar Habit of Favoring those who don’t depend on It! Just go about doing things as you always do and everything will fall in place and you will achieve Success with or without Luck!
