True Friends

Today was my last day at HCL/JLT. Since the day I joined here, there was a turning point in my life. Friends..!! I met new people and new friends. Our friendship blossomed as the group expanded. We were more like a family than friends. I had brothers and sisters. The bonding we had was so true and pure. This friendship made me forget my misery, my pain, my life that was under turbulence. They made me realize to be true to myself, I found myself, they brought my smile back. My life was around them, the only friends I communicate, laugh and cry. Now it's time for me to move on in my life. I have to move away from them all, but we will be still in touch where ever we could. I have a train to catch my destiny, a change of life and meet new people. Never forgetting each another. We were all destined to be as friends forever and we will be I hope so.

Not too Late...

I guess we really don’t appreciate things until they are long gone. We live our lives as if we will being here forever, your entire life has changed, or in some cases it has ended.  Every minute of our life is a time bomb, we are actually living on the tip of a needle. A time of reflection occurs when something devastating happens just in a very second.  But it would be wise to have this “reflection” each and every day so we would treasure our lives. Live your life now rather than regretting it later. Let’s just think, what if you didn’t show just how much you appreciated your parents, wife, husband, child, brothers, sisters, grandparents or friends yesterday and today as you wake up to find that it is already too late,they have gone. We often think of where we have failed so miserably in times such as these, but in the hustle and bustle of our daily day to day life, we can tend to ignore or take things for granted to those we live and work with. It would be better off...

The Voice - Part 1

I heard the voice of a man calling my name. I was in a meditative mode and immediately, it felt like someone had grabbed my hands and pulled me upwards and as I opened my eyes everything seemed strange, I was floating in the air, I was grabbed by my hand pulled higher than the ground. I could see myself below  still in the meditative position. I was levitating; I could see my dog as it stared at me as I passed through the door. I could see my house disappearing in the distance below me. I tried to look up but still nothing visible, I was taken very fast passing through the clouds. Everything was clouds, white fogs and nothing or no one can be seen. Actually I was sort of ‘levitating’ in to the sky. It seemed like I was taken far away and suddenly I landed on the smoky place as like on clouds I guess. Everything looked like it had a bit of a glow to it. I heard my name again and it seemed like the voice was coming from beside me. I could recognise that voice, I have b...

Black and White Life

Sometimes the life we live in are black and white and those are truly the powerful colours that can be interesting at times, and even at other times it might be necessary.  But there is nothing that truly brings out the beauty and truth in life than the many shades of grey within the black and white.   Let’s paint it with black and white but not realizing the detail shades of grey among the black and white. Every detail of our lives is hidden among the shades of the grey. There are things that are definitely black or white that might help you to have a better perspective of looking at life from a different angle. Too many of us tend to make that very mistake when we judge a situation, or when arriving to a decision.  We apply the black or white rule and leave out the various shades of grey.   Look at a situation with that was just painted black or white, you risk of missing out the beautiful details that could make the overall picture of the situation be so m...

Myths of Lord Shiva

Today I had spend a great moment talking with my uncle when she share a story about Lord Siva. He asked if did I know that Lord Siva was a Siddha-Deva. I said, I didn't know that. Then he continued the story.  The story actually was initiated as we were in a Indian Restaurant and there was a "Nadaraja" picture of Lord Shiva in his Rudra Thandavam post.  He asked me," Which leg is he standing and which leg is lifted?' I told him,"He is standing on his right leg". Then he told me ,"Have you observed all the Nadaraja statues or pictures of him standing on the right leg, but have you seen one where he will be standing on the left leg instead". I told him, "Not at all I have seen one of those". Then he said," There is a statue in Madurai temple that has a statue with him standing on his left leg, but he wasn't sure of the story behind that." I managed to Google for the story of   Left Leg N...
My sister was sharing a very nice short story that made a lot of sense and also about the big differences in change of a word or statement.  An old blind man was begging in the street and he had a board that says: "I am Blind, please help me". Then one day a rich lady comes by, she helps the Old blind beggar. And since that day the lady came by, this blind man had been getting lots of help and money from the people. Again on another day, she came by to visit the blind man and he knew it was the same lady by knowing her voice tone.  He asked her what did she do that people were helping him. She said," I just changed the words written on the board" as "It's a beautiful day but I can't see it". The blind man felt that he owe that lady a gratitude of life for changing his life by just changing the words which has changed everything for him. The change of a statement can bring a big change in life. Power of words are ...

The Wrong Choice of Life...

Many women have dreams about getting married; being with the man they love. Even I had my own dream of a beautiful wedding. I actually wanted to get married on a perfect wedding as I can’t resist myself imagining it. But also sometimes I get a thought to believe that there is nothing to think about the wedding as when the day comes all factors for the perfect wedding may already be chalked out. Every girl in her twenties will have the biggest dream in finding the right Mr. Right. Yeah, I mean that is what every girl will have a thought of THE Mr Right, that is not denial able though. Prince charming, Prince of Love, bla..! bla..! , maybe a fairy tale inspired I could say. ( a blank thought in my head , if  I ever had this thought or either imagined it, might be maybe in my childhood I guess, smiling to myself now), so back to my line here. So every girl would have had an outline of THE Mr Right , the most common deadline that we set for ourselves is to be married and ...

Nicholas Spark...

Nicholas Spark is a well-known romantic love story novelist. Most of his novels have been adapted to films which were amazing. The notebook; A Walk to Remember; Message in Bottle; Nights in Rodanthe; Dear John; The Last Song; The Lucky One; Safe Haven; Best of Me; The Longest Ride; Latest is ; The Choice; Even though I am an avid reader, I am very choosy over my books. I don't enjoy much of romantic or love stories kind of books. But something in Nicholas Spark’s words didn't make me read his books but watched the movies adapted from his books. Sometime books will be boring to read if we can’t imagine the story in our mind, though sometime if the movies adapt from the books that you want to get hold of the book to experience the story in your mind. With his latest adaption “The Choice”, the most heart wrenching story that would keep our mind with this question running in our heads forever,  "How far would you go to keep the hope of l...
