Music

What is it about music?

Whenever I find myself perturbed and fidgety in thoughts; I play this collection of instrumentals by The Richard Clayderman. And with a success rate of 100% I have managed to reach a state where my mind gets far away from the numerous thoughts that were pestering my soul. Mind flies away to some unseen land. Yes, it sounds like hypnotism, probably there is some scientific explanation to it.

This evening I was physically in a passive mode when my mind was too active in being upset about a thing and mad on some one; touched by an incident and moved by words. My brain was suddenly like the idiot box with numerous channels, all reflecting different emotions. I almost could not understand my own thought process; I was fast approaching saturation. At this moment the bitTorrent application threw a pop-up to signal the completion of download of my favorite instrumental album.

And it was no less than a divine intervention. I played it in the background and continued with my work.. soon i was at peace. Best part of the instrumental music is that it gives your mind and soul the complete freedom to breathe the notes into whichever form we want, unlike the lyrics-ed songs which are already categorized. What I now hearing was the magical combination of countable notes...

The work I was doing was the only thing in mind and after that the serenity within me gave a hint of peaceful slumber to which I dutifully succumbed! And now here I am fresh again... These are the times when loneliness is the most cherished bliss! :)

Recalling Ooty trip!

Ooty trip. 24th - 25th October 2009. Most memorable trip! This trip was my escape plan! My birthday was falling on this weekend and I didn't want it to be like the birthday routine (mostly at food court 5 - oasis) of the Infosys, Mysore campus. So when I heard Sachit (who was from my college but had come to know him during training as he sat one seat beside me) planning a trip to Ooty with all his friends. I showed my interest in joining them clearly stating how I didn't want to be in the campus on my birthday falling that Sunday. He agreed. That is how I happen to go on this trip with Sachit, Sharad, Shikha and Varun. All were new to me! Before this trip I have hardly ever exchanged formal greeting with them and now here I was going to a beautiful hill station on a weekend! We left early morning for Udhagamandalam. On the way we had to cross Bandipur National Park. We stopped there and decided to take a Safari ride. Well it happened so that we missed on the early morning Safar...

Learning the hard way

Classroom teaching is organized learning where in words of many researchers and analysts decide what content will be taught and in what manner. As a child everybody has had their times of despising classroom either for selective subject or like me, simply for all of them. But 20 years past one realizes how essential indeed were those classroom sessions. And that is cause of the natural phenomenon that one understands the importance of something in life when that goes away from you. Have come too far from classrooms. And the most painful part in all of this is the fact that learning is not seized. Lot of things we are still suppose to learn in the daily course of action. But these lessons do not come from well structured course books illustrated by a teacher, it come to us the hard way. Hours after any incidence you analyze and understand the triggering factors for the event and their effective impacts. And then you really introspect that what & how exactly one was supposed to do in...

Mera purna-janam hua hai!

That is what I said at my party as I stand today having resigned from Infosys and now going back home to search for a job I would like! I am reborn! Its not that I am seeing my proffessional life as something which will have fresh start but also relations. People come up with complete other side to themselves when they know that one of them is leaving and that there is a possibility that you might not meet that person again. Last three parties post my last day at office have been such experiences and it has made me richer! :) On tuesday after office I went out with all my toastmasters friends! Toastmasters was the only thing which kept me busy in "true" sense at office! And so it was special. I was been surprised with this lovely cake they all got for me : After decently having cake, I was being warned that if the cake would not finish I would have to face the fate and so it was.... And these were the culprits .. And so after all present there had their part of fun we all we...
