Two Stones, One Bird

I never would have imagined such a day, in existence. I surely can call myself a Reader now. What kind, is still a mystery. But what entails is, give me a random piece and I would eat it up. Keeps things interesting  and that is how I see it.

It is a matter of perspective after all. And what pushed me to finally write this, after putting out for long, is a fellow blogger.

Perspective, is something that our brain is wired to have. And it is at the heart of what makes your personality. You often draw from these very experiences to give you direction in time of need. I truly believe one would be lost if they don't form their opinions. Key though remains to avoid overdoing and be open minded when it comes to people. Everybody makes mistakes. Where am I getting with all this bull, you ask? It's the other side. I am an opinionated person to an extent. I do believe though, I am good at reading people somewhat. I am rigid, and also, flexible, if only you reason with me with logic. And all this leads to the inferno where I preach what I believe in, in no uncertain terms, so much so that sometimes I believed what works for me, works for everyone else, sometimes.

But the recent interview process, puts things into perspective, better than ever. If I may say so, people who converted, can be put into two very different schools of thought, yet they both succeeded. And, I probably am the one that stands alone. There was absolutely no preparation, as it often renders one giving cooked up answers. Even my clothes raised a couple of eyebrows among friends, since nothing matched. In short, it was what that has been ingrained into my soul, LITE LENA. On the other end, were people who have always studied hard, and prepared with equal vigor for the interview. Spic Span looks, with equally confident demeanor, and rightly so.

Realization is simple. You need to do what suits you, and gives that extra confidence in yourself to allow you to sail through. There's no right or wrong. So was I wrong in preaching what I did for the past year, and even now. Absolutely not. It's a matter of perspective. Only thing, I could have been less aggressive. But you can't really blame a man for LITEning the mood ;)

  1. Like you mentioned, the "Key though remains to avoid overdoing and be open minded when it comes to people."
    Truth is that people know it, but wouldn't do it, it's so hard to accept that there can be another reality :)

    1. Yeah. You tend to believe what your experience has taught you. Not really bad, but the only thing to be certain of is that there are many different fishes in the sea.

    1. True. My only question remains is, is one wrong in believing his/her perception and preaching that. After all, you can only preach what you know and believe in. It's for others to decide if they want to follow that it adapt.

200* The Titan of the world cricket just got a little taller

"The Titan of World Cricket just got a little taller " Need I say more . The only thing that I would regret after this day is that I cannot brag "I was there when.." The only people I'll envy after today are those in the Gwalior stadium. There is not much that I can say about the Little Master that hasn't been spoken off. There is not much to be read about Sachin that my generation has not already read. Comments like "I have seen God, he bats at no. 4 for India" from the people who have played against him, have been plastered all over the memory of this generation. All this and still that humbleness to die for. He truly is an IDOL. You'd think with hopes of a billion people on his shoulder, he will start to stoop a little, well congratulations, you have just been branded the biggest fool to have walked on earth. All said, it cost me a measly 49 Riyals to get Live TV on my cellphone, and a little more effort to postpone some of the work

The first 31st on an 'alien' land

Dear Blog, One thing you don't want on a 31st is for your day to start with work. And o'course I ain't that lucky. But at-least I got a 'half day' (will someone inform the management that if you reduce 2 working hours from 10, it does not become 'half day'). O'course the thumb rule in such cases says " you take what you get, and be happy  or else you will end up either very miserable or getting fired", neither of which interests me much. The Idea There is a thin line between "A Plan" and "An Idea". I had neither. I only knew this for a fact that no way I will spend this night in my camp. In came Mr. Tejaswi, with some ' amoeba like shit' in his head, to my aid. I will still refrain from calling it a plan, since you cannot be sure of things here in Qatar on days of holiday (family day and stuff like that), although no once can stop you if you are really stubborn and a little innovative. As for The Idea, it had a

International Helsinki Days 2012

'Minus 26 and still HOT' Oh Yes. It was hot. Never mind the apparent chill. And that was all about the IHD. Naah... I have been edgy to write about this ever since it got over, not that i'm going to forget anything anytime soon, but rather to make it more memorable. The issue with all of it is though that words simply aren't enough, you have to live it to know it. I had taken a liking to Finnish people from the start , and more so after the week. It was special this week. I got a glimpse into the culture that is Finn. Perhaps limited to the student culture, but nevertheless, enough to make up my mind that they all would go places. Work to Live, they value there free time immensely, and that's how it is supposed to be. I heard somethings about Finns not being happy etc, not from what   I saw, and if they believe in the philosophy, I doubt anyone could be unhappy for long. And if anyone had doubts about their work ethic, they just have to look at the IHD tea
