ಓ ಗೆಳತಿ!...

ಓ ಗೆಳತಿ... ನಿನ್ನ ನೋಡ್ತಾ
ಗೀಚಿದ ಪ್ರತಿ ಸಾಲು ಕವನವಾಯ್ತು,
ಆಡಿದ ಪ್ರತಿ ಮಾತೂ ಹಾಡಾಯ್ತು,
ಸುಳಿದ ಜಾಗವೆಲ್ಲಾ ಸುಂದರವಾಯ್ತು,
ಬಿದ್ದಾಗ ಆದ ಗಾಯ ಮಾತ್ರ ವಾಸಿಯಾಗದೆ ಹೋಯ್ತು!

ಇದು ನಾನು ಬರೆದ ಕಿರು ಕವನವಾಗೋಯ್ತು  ;)

A common weird thought

Has there been something that you wanted to tell someone, be it good or bad about you or them. But, you are apprehensive about how would they take it. You are perhaps known to them as nice and kind, but with this having said, that impression in them could just weaken.

How would one go about it?

The yourself in you!

Have you ever felt you should have done something, that you, kinda not used to do? I mean, the "yourself" in you doesn't let you do it while you, from the deepest of your mind, really want to.

I feel this quite frequently. It's terrible when you don't have the chance to do that thing anymore. I wonder how I could let myself out and be what I want to be.

There doesn't exist a "Click here to change!" button that can change thyself overnight, and the sooner one realizes this, the better it is. This transition is perhaps a gradual one, or its progress can't really be felt. So the next time you feel contrary with "yourself", just try to overcome "yourself" I will try to do this!

The more you know who you are, and what you want

"The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you." 

It's a quote from the movie "Lost in translation". The movie is a pretty good one. At least, I liked it much.

I watch English movies for two reasons. First, I need time to relax after a tiring day. So, watching movie for some time with a plate of food is one way I pick. Second, you know, I find their accent difficult to follow. I wanna improve myself somehow. Movies for resort.. :-0

Lately I experienced the real meaning of this quote in real life. Not through something I did, but with something that my friend felt. While talking on phone a few days ago, he said he was in kind of dilemma deciding on something, and that it was making him sulk a lot. I offered him some advices(I'm bad at free advices, though! ;-0 )

Then, after a few days when I met him again, he was very happy. Happy because he was out of dilemma, and that he knew what he want. I was very happy to see him that way, too.

- So, the more you know who you are and what you want, the less you let things upset you. Makes sense. Doesn't it?

Prithvi - A Kannada movie

Prithvi - A Kannada movie.

It's the story of an honest IAS officer and how he manages to fight illegal mining in the state of Bellary, Karnataka.

In one particular scene, a character laments that the border between two states(I wonder why two states can't have good co-operation while they both belong to India. We are talking about two states, and not countries :( ) is changed by local rowdies, who are supposedly great politicians and that the whole area is being exploited for illegal mining. But this officer, despite the counterparts' political and money power, manages to fight them all, and stop illegal mining.

It is a fact that the two villain characters aren't fiction.

While I keep hearing that India is corrupted, and it could never get out of this situation, it must be admitted that there is in fact a real good sign of growth, and improvement as the corrupt are being caught, and punished with imprisonment. We have been hearing, and seeing news that the bad are being caught.

To lead a state, and a country, I think there must exist a crew that works just like the Board of Directors of a private organization. People who work with diligence, and passion to make the system better. In contrary, what we now have as politicians, a majority of them, are just greedy, and corrupted and it is our misfortune.

Self-help books

Last Friday, I stumbled onto a blog link http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/07/nobodys-going-to-help-you-and-thats-awesome.html Here, the author explains that all these books on self help are just waste and primarily they are written in ways that mislead the readers.

He goes on with a different take on one, though, even recommending a book, which the author believes is very scientific, 59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot, written with real good intentions to help readers. 

Just like many people out there, I feel some kind of fatigue that stops me from doing something useful. I believe I kicked this habit off late, and tried doing one task - building a WordPress theme - and spent around 2 months in a ok-ok manner.

Now I want to try another theme/improve the one I built, but, I keep procrastinating.. I wonder if someone really needs a self-help book to help come out of this situation? I guess not. All one needs to do is to cultivate interest in doing something. And, I'm trying.

Being upfront, and strong!

Its never easy to be upfront, and strong always. I mean, no matter what the other person thinks about you, you just say what you are feeling and do not care what the rest of the world thinks about it.

This could lead you into troubles sometimes, but, I think it saves you from troubles, too.

I just wanted to say something, and you see, I said it! ;0
