'I'

It is the 'I' factor that creates uniqueness...that creates wonders...that ascends the quality of your life. It is the 'I' that helps us breathe...It is the 'I' that keeps us really moving.

'We' as a team works when everyone loves their 'I's...
'Sharing' and 'Caring' happens when everyone respect others 'I's
Success is relished when 'I's join

Where are you...my 'I(eye)'s'
'I' love you all...

The Path to silence

The Path To Silence
Originally uploaded by siggito

The path to silence you are deep into a womb of thoughts.
Silence probes your thoughts...
Need for communicating arises then...

When wavelength's are aligned, communication between lives defies sound...then why did God create something called sound...

Feeling now, what I relished then...

My footsteps felt heavy thumping on the tar road. I could feel my footsteps clearly in the silence prevailing around...I returned from office to my friend's house just few minutes ago.
I was amused by the thought of how the earth would be feeling, when millions of people walk and automobiles race over it.
The same a colony of ants would be thinking of us when we stamp on them...killing them. I read this piece of thought written by Aurobindo/Mother, post the tsunami shaking off the Indian coast...
Then I relished those words, today I felt it.

Now I think the same with sleep which is taking over me... :)

Verbal voyeurism...

'Don't you watch MTV roadies?' questioned my friend as if I had committed a crime... Got to know from him that the TV series aired in MTV channel has to do something with adventure...Some colleagues of mine said they like the program because it has something to do with reality.

I forgot all of these conversations amidst my daily work…months passed by before I first witnessed this program. 

Returning back from office early, I saw my roommate watching the program. It was a selection for the ‘Roadies’ as they call. It was something like ragging and ripping apart a person. That was ok…

Last week I saw the roadies in action and found the participants verbally assaulting each other. Found that it has nothing to do neither with adventure nor with reality and what people relish seeing is just a vulgar pleasure in hearing something that is voyeuristic.

I just got up, felt the air engulfing my thoughts and went out for dinner mulling over my thoughts on what people really want as enjoyment.  

Midas touch

Power to Dream l

I always love what Sun does to the frigid deep blue sky in the mornings...the Midas touch.

Frigid blue sky melting to sun,
Melting into silence until evening
Getting ready for another sunrise
With the power to dream...

Thanks tteeritt for the photo...

We are ready with our next mission, Are you game?

A fortnight ago, Friday evening I and my friend KK planned for a long trip to Goa, then shortened it to Mangalore, further shortened it to Nandi hills followed by Hosur... and shortened it further: we spent Saturday at the office... Saturday evening, suddenly an idea flashed while returning home and we got down much ahead of our place...
We dropped into our senior colleague Y's place without any notice. We rang the doorbell and hid ourselves near the stairs and just gave him a surprise when he opened the door. We felt some 10 years younger doing this act...
We still felt younger by forming a trio: I, KK and Y's daughter Ria opposing Y. Munching on the ready-cook popcorn prepared by Ria, the trio strengthened by the tea that Y had prepared.
We helped Ria to finish off some school maths and here began the real action...
We forced Y to join our trio for dinner, and to take his car out on a Saturday evening, made him to eat pizza which he hates to the core. It was all fun that evening...

We are ready for another storming action and creating a trinity with Ria...but when it will happen? Any suggestions Y?

Springing Bangalore...

Fresh violet bud leaves sprung up on bare trees a week ago and now are slowly coloring up a realm that is somewhere above 3 meters from the road level... It is pre-spring season in India and the trees have started to turn green!
It is always a pleasant morning these days, waking up to cool morning wind and the lush green trees.I love those orange colored, brown dotted butterflies, yellow striped butterflies that wish me good morning...

Sandesh Kadur's quest for 'Pogeyan'...

It was a sort of immersion into nature…I witnessed the short film by Sandesh Kadur on Western ghats. Thanks to my colleague Puneet with whom I went to watch the film at the British council in Bangalore. Sandesh has been photographing wildlife in Western ghats for close to a decade. His quest for ‘Pogeyan’ or the ‘Misty’ Indian cat is quite interesting; he spotted this member of the cat family few years back and now wants to spot it again as it is not classified / identified yet…He shared his adventure stories in his quest for ‘Pogeyan’. He said that living in the rainforests of the ghats is far safer than crossing the road in Bangalore… 

If you really admire nature and an ardent lover of it, then Sandesh Kadur’s adventures are online for you at http://www.sandeshkadur.com/

It is good to forget, but not this soon!

With all the josh of my new electronic cards arriving, I forgot to share my 185 minutes to finish the half marathon in Mumbai last week. This one was better than my last one in terms of my post recovery time. The crowd cheer throughout our 21 odd kilometers was a real boost, we never felt that we were alone or we were stressing our body to its extreme. My running pattern this time was 8km non-stop run, another 8-9 km staggered run and walk the last four kilometers…

Post marathon, we had been to the Elephanta cave islands, thanks to my friend Prakash: without him, I could not have managed to see the cave islands. I had in fact seen Mumbai when I was 10 years old, but nothing has changed since then…the same buzzing crowd, the same spirit of living perhaps, only I was 15 years older than I was then…

It was a festival indeed and whole Mumbai was a part of it...Thank you Mumbai, see you next year at the marathon...

My baby, in real copper and components...!

Today morning, I felt extremely happy holding my new baby in real copper and components.  Yes the boards I designed have arrived from the fab-assembly unit.

Before we woke her up to this real world and feed power, she was given a full check up… As any parent would propagate how bringing up children is a difficult yet enjoyable experience, my friends added similar such experiences of theirs to normal conversations.

She is just born; need to bring her up…miles of difficult path to go. But for now, she is the cutest baby I have ever seen because she is of my blood :)
