Do you know….Who??

Busy days at SONY makes me a little caught with up with work loads where I seldom be at my workstation, instead I am a little dynamic, moving from suppliers and also warehouses! But this never stops me from my social activity after work. Especially with my newly profound good friends and work colleagues; Sutharshanan, Anil Vincent and my buddy Rajanen, indeed great companion after work, added with a ‘special appearance’ from my comical friend Mekala and also Shivani the witty girl.

Couple of days ago, me and the earlier mentioned great soul resorted for bowling game for de-stressing from work. After a great lunch, we manage to settle down for two games of bowling. After such a fun and outgoing session of ball rolling and pin shattering, we settled at a Chinese shop for supper. Being the fun people as always, we cracked into jokes and also jested about each other aimlessly, while this whole process I found myself at the midst of gawking at my friends asking the similar question to each other. Let me give a simple gesture of the scenario I was amused and laughing at.

Shivani to Anil, “Eh you should know Shalini since you studied in MMU?”. While staring pointlessly Anil answered “Oh, she is like a good friend of mine.” This followed by me coming in and asking another analogous question to Anil, “Then you should know Malarasi and Uthaya?”. This time onwards, Anil looks like the ‘walking-database’ of MMU since he nodded affirmatively.

Did you see the content of the speech could possibly be if two different people from different colleges become friend? It’s always the same question!

“DO YOU KNOW….??”

No matter how many times you try to avoid this sort of conversation, you will still end up with the same question regardless asking about your college friends or work colleagues. Even I myself, when I got to know Anil and Sutharshanan, I uttered the same, lame and vague question! Just observe it the next you talk to your friend, I am sure you will come across this exact question asked! Enjoy noticing the conversation and you will be amazed how life is astoundingly funny and fun!

Regards

p/s: I know Anil, Sutha, Raj, Meg and Shivani would curse me for putting their name here! Don’t mind me ok? Love you guys!

Less Time for Long Hours??

Sitting at office, gazing left and right with no proper vision ahead makes me wonder. And when I conjecture, I can smell loads of questions will be appearing in my head. Apparently I am attracted to write and entry about how an incident has really made me reflect about how it’s applicable in bona fide life. One vital question before I move further into blurt of the mind; How would you feel if your hard work is being tormented in front of your eyes?

Rhetorically, I know, almost similar answers will be uttered vividly. Of course we would feel very appalling and underappreciated. Let me give a real life situation of how a more than two hours hard work is being demolished in just less than 2 minutes. Me and a bunch of my colleague was actually helping out in the decoration for a birthday party which almost took us close to 3 hours to be done with the good output. At end of the day, it only took less than 2 minutes to bring it all down with the same amount of manpower. This is ironic example, where everyone know, we can’t let the whole decoration item to be on for the rest of the life!

But can you get the gist of the scenario spoken? No matter what you endure in life, it takes only fewer periods to bulldoze one’s hard work which was built for many years. The only way to safeguard the long kept reputation is by not making any mistakes. I still can recall my friend’s father told me at the end of the birthday party that I decorated. He said to me, “Sanjay, your long hour hard work is being tarnished in just few minutes!” I answered jokingly with a loud cry of disapproval.

A mere incident rang the alarm for me. I was riding bike earlier this morning when I evoked the incident and made me think, every incident in our life is quite inter-related. So what I learnt was, no matter how tough you have taken to reach the top, one dark spot will smudge your reputation and you will be down and disrespected. So start safeguarding your steps and make sure you don’t anguish your own name in the process of walking up the ladder!

Office Politics and Scandals!

Finally after I have settled down, I could find a little sufficient time for me to keep my blog page active. For the moment I could say that the ideas and blurt of the mind is flowing in a superior surge! Involve in a corporate world with so scores of people functioning, makes me learn about life and pattern of its current. Yes, I am involved in many scenarios of office politics and scandals.

When I was in my studentship life, all I know is I watch movies and soap-operas that show this similar motive circumstances in their production. But now, I know for real how it works exceptionally fine. This is what I rate the best first-hand-experience. What I do is I stop, look on how stuff works and I learn before I finally practice it. So let me explain the meaning of office affairs in my own words and my own understanding.

What do I mean by office politics?

This word itself explains that in an organization there is an affair that will guide us through out our service. To get good reviews you should be a hypocrite. I always wanted to be true to my way of working, but since I have been working, I learn that I should be hypocrite half of the time. Eulogize rules here! If you don’t know how to praise, then you stay at the bottom. Is this way is acceptable? For what I know, this no place for being a follower of ‘Dalai-Lama’; Truth only prevails. The formula to climb the corporate ladder is that you extol more on your supervisor on their toil. I observed, I learn and I utilize.

Now how about office scandals?

Alright, this is a word which is not only a phenomenon in corporate world but its becoming more communal. Dominos of life is not complete without scandals. And in this office set-up gossips will never dry out. I have observed a few on my own that it’s a routine fad. Explanation sought for but all in vain. Life scenario I went through, Ms. A goes out with Mr. B when Ms. A is married and the husband Mr. C is working in the same organization. Mr. B is a single man, and Mr. C is courting out with another girl. It’s complicated isn’t it? For all I know, this is only like 2% of the scandal that I am looking at on first hand. Why such an infidelity happens? Baffled as always!

As for now, I have learnt that nothing will stop from continuity. Scandals and office politics is inter-related element in part and parcel of career world. When it will stop? It’s still a big question mark! Deduction of the day, acclaim the person above you and you will secure hassle free career advancement, and ignore those scandals at workplace, instead enjoying listening and looking at one.

p/s: This is from my past working experience. Now, its all different!

Thanks for the Day!

I technically jumped off from my seat and I cry out loud after getting to see my long-lost-best-pal! It’s been years I haven spoke to her and today every puzzle came into a piece after meeting her online! Missing her much though, because she was my shoulder to cry on and she was the one I used to hang out with the most! Cherish all the moments I went through with her. Life moves very fast and now we are like waiting who going to get married first! Pal, all the luck, since I am sure you will be the first one! My super busy day, ended with two events which made my day to be perfect. First, it was dinner with my great buddies; Anil, Rajanen and Mekala, this is followed by a cam to cam chat with my best pal, ‘Aishah@ Ms. Vogue, who is in Kursk! Love you guys much!

p/s: Pal, I still have the Givenchy perfume you gave me! Parcel me more soon! *falls on my knees*

Hassle Free Life??

Is it possible? Or am I on tenterhooks for something unattainable? All this while, I have thought that life after studies would be great and hassle free, but I was wrong. It’s so hectic that I am missing my campus life so much. How can I be so immaturely thinking in that manner?

Life never gets paced down. Every each day, I never fail to realize that life is unpredictable and has loads of turmoil. But all this life stress and tumults can be outshined with the presence of great friends and good thought ahead. I am blessed with good friends to laugh about and share my feelings.

And this is the somber reason, that despite my chaotic days, I am still surviving with a smile. Thanks for my college mates who are in working with me, due to them I am still released from the overwrought and ‘headache’ of career call. I would like to take this opportunity to convey my deepest gratitude to The-Three-Lettered-Guy for giving me such a blissful mates at work; Mekala Devi Brakasam, Rajanen Jeya Balan and Kumaran Rachandra. Besides them, there are few others that cheer my day without fail. Thanks to all of them!

What is life without a bunch of friends’ right?

So start smiling and appreciate every single friend that we have. Sort of all the differences and don’t take them for granted. The more you ignore them for self indulgences, the worse your life would get. For all I know, you can’t endure this life alone. De-stress and be happy always!

Epilogue of Friendship

It has been my way of writing entries the way I think and what I feel about life, and here we go again; something regarding life and how it changed in a matter of years. Well life reallocation as I always talk, is something that still makes me pin-drop silent every time I think about it. It feels like just yesterday I came out of my secondary school that now; I am merely an engineer that walks in to work place to do my exertion.

Well life has really changed from day one. If I re-walk the life I went through, it is full with loads of confrontation which is still fresh in my memory. I rejoice those happy moments and I make the bad one to be my guru in learning about life.

Apparently, I was engrossed to write this entry while I was taking my dinner with my group of friends. The way we are and the matter we spoke every added year is different and unique in its own way. Let me give a real life scenario I went through so far.

Scenario 1

This I reminisce back into year 1996, when I was in my standard 4. I still remember the group of friends I was sitting and talking. It was Zaki, Hafiz Azmi, Chandru, Gobinath, Sarah Syahida, Muna Farhana and Nanda Kumari, the people that I hang out with the most. The topic we usually discuss is about cartoons, games that we need to start playing and a little bit of school related matters. And it’s always been some story that is more fun and less serious.

Scenario 2

Walking down year 2002, and this is back in my secondary years. I was in form 4. The group of friends that I hang out would be good friends. Shuhadah Basaharuddin, Norhaniza Shukor, Siti Sarah, Rajiv Pushpanathan, Janager, Thina, Ng Kheng Aik, Ooi Chyn Suang and few others. Content of our speech would be study-related material and also a little bit of gossip and normal life talk.

Scenario 3

Coming to recent year of 2007 and this is during my college life. Group of friends that I always hang out with Harnesh Gill, Rajpal Sandhu, Harish Hariraj, Rajanen Jeya Balan and the modus of our speech will be regarding lectures, test, gossips, life and obscenity! Content of our speech, is more serious and less fun.

Scenario 4

Recent days and this is closely related to our career life. Friends that I hang out with are those who are very close with me since college days; Nirmala Devi, Harnesh Gill, Rajpal Sandhu, Harish Hariraj, Mekala Devi, Rajanen Jeya Balan and Uthayashankar. Pretty easy as it is, what we talk is mainly related to work, politics and upbringing of our career and life. And of course the general topics as well. A well balanced conversation with a combination of seriousness, fun and obscenity will always be practiced each time we meet.

Can you see the clear cut of the topic we talk as our age grows? Maturity level increases and the content of our verbal communication get more enhanced. It doesn’t mean that those years of us ‘wasted’ on talking unnecessarily is not needed, indeed it’s vital to let our mentality to adapt and nurtures better day by day. Life reallocation takes place everyday with much perseverance. Let it happen and adapt to it sooner than normal and everything that occurs will be smooth sailing ahead.

Life never stops from running in a loop. And each day is new playground for us to discover and learn. Indeed life is the greatest guru for every each of us, so never stop living it to the fullest cause you never wanted to stumble one day and feels that you have missed some portion of life. Be yourself and enjoy every inch of life!

P/s: For those names that I din mention in this entry, you are not forgotten! Love you all buddies!

Divulge of the Mind!

I am taken aback every time I come across people who take things for granted and do things that can hurt others. Baffling to my mind, it’s so easy for people to forego and foreseen those good deed one has offered to him/her, and just ignore the person totally. No courtesy even to be there when they needed the assistance. Life is in such, that people nowadays are selfish and also ignorant.

There were few incidents that really budge up my nerve and make me reflect and gaze on how people can be egocentric. I have learnt the new panorama of life where self-centered style of life is vital. But this doesn’t mean that we should be ignorant towards what other would feel. After all the assistance has been rallied round, one just can miss out on the person, just like that?

I grew up in a very family oriented manner and also very co-related community, that this all seems to be something very abnormal. Idiosyncrasy is what I can categorize those people who seem to be thinking only on their well-being and disregarding those who were there for them when there was no one around. Life itself has been my greatest guru, and I am thanking GOD every second of the day, that he bestowed me a great family and simply-amazing friends; not forgetting my great life that I am enduring day by day.

Time will come for those who turn their back to their true friends and overlook them. Because, even when you think no one notices you, that Three-Lettered-Guy is always governing your each step! He who moulds you will know what you deserve and when you deserve it! Rules end out!

Sense of Disturbance

Have you felt that life in such a way, that everything around is interrelated? Yes, its co-dependent and all the happenings have its own core of the way it occurs. I woke up today morning from my dream, calling my mum while I was trying to beat the so-called thief that wanted to broke into my house. Funny as it is, but this made me wonder, why did I dream on this particular thing?

Right after I realize it was a morning reverie, I made few calls, particularly my sisters and also my mother. But thank God everything is fine. Why there were such an insecure feeling that this delusion of mine is going to happen or happening in real? Some things in life are hard to explain, so we are left unanswered and it’s better if we don’t take a serious consideration on the phenomenon.

But there are acquaintances of me having the Deja-vu feelings. We know that we have been to that particular place in our unconscious mind. Is there a proper explanation for this? Vaguely I would say that, everything in this world and universe is brought together with energy of unexplained mystery, called the Aura! We get what we feel and think. And this is the base and foundation for Law of Attraction. This is some sort of baffling anonymity. Collision between science and fiction is aggravated each time this ideology is been discussed. Where the truth is placed upon? I befuddled always!

As long as I am here, being a very strong follower of Hinduism nothing is reckonable. I believe in the teaching of, if we think good, we will get good outputs. Practicing this believe stalwartly, I think, good thoughts bring good yield. Be positive with whatever happens in life, because when there is instance of negative occurrences, God has planned a constructive harvest in the future. Life is short, so live life to the fullest.
