Losing it!

These days my favourite pastime is opening my laptop, and finding old memories. Be it old nokia captured photos or some stupid status posted on Facebook wall, Or just some old melodious song which is connected to some incident in life. And fun part, I can't get enough.

I'm not very sentimental guy who cherishes every moment. But somehow I created some sentiments while growing up. In the pace of life, I  left those sentiments behind, and now when life is little slowed down, or maybe locked down, these old memory boxes are opening up.

But every memory I relive, I feel one more emotion. And this one is little bit sad. I remember those faces which I don't even call or text anymore. While chasing the purpose, alot has been left behind. And just glimpses of those remain. But Again, that's life right?

You know what, that's not. I refuse to accept that here on. I understand that to achieve in life is important, but to hold on to people is way more important. And somehow I feel like I have failed in the latter. I am not sure I can fix what's done, but what I can do is improvisation. I'm pretty good at it.

I don't know how many people who read this will relate to this, but I want each of them to tell that, maybe today you would or wouldn't understand this, but hold on to your closed ones. Funny part is we don't even realise who our closed ones are until we are far apart.

So I'm gonna try losing my self-sufficient-ambition-driven-career-orientented-little-selfish image once, may be so that I don't lose more important things in life any more.

The Book Thief

There are stories. There are good stories. And then there are stories which touch your soul. One such story is written by Markus Zusak, named as The Book thief. Narrated by the death itself, it's a story of a kid from Nazi Germany. Her name is Liesel. Living in a foster home, with her new Papa and Mama. But life is not fair with her. She has memories of a brother, she lost on a train. Her new mother is awful cook and pretty tough on her. She has nightmares every night. As she starts to live this new life on a place called Himmel Street, stuff keeps happening. She makes a best friend Rudy, who's has crush on her. Her father teaches her the art of reading from a book she has stolen from grave yard. And hence the title, the book thief. And then there's another important character, called Max. Who is a Jew in a Nazi Germany, who is given shelter in her basement. You go on a journey from a train, to a football match on street, to stealing apples and bread. From playing accordion...

Writer's block

It's a phenomenon which a writer stumbles into once in a while. Basically s/he is not able to write anything. Somehow, the thought cycle which connects to words resulting into something meaningful is broken.  In other words, Monday blues. Unable to work. But this is little different with a writer. In an office, there will be an external enforcer (a Boss, in fancy words). But with a writer, it has to be a force within. An Intuition. But that's the thing, right? The urge, the motivation, the intuition, at times, just fades out, once in a while. When the linearity of life just stops bothering you. You fall in love with the concept of dormancy. Basically you become a couch potato (Until your mom starts to scold). But I feel, sometimes this block is a necessity. In terms of  industrial engineering, it is called mandatory buffer. A system should never be run at its max capacity all the time, or it will fail. Just like humans.  In life too, we keep figuring out what's next, all ...

The Good, The Bad and The Corporate

I have often heard that, people don’t come in Black and White; they are always in the shades of grey. Confused? Let me explain. Like the old good Hindi movies, there is no absolute goodwill hero or absolute evil villain. Everyone belong in between, the scale which connects the absolute good and pure evil. But that’s something you already know, don’t you? Of course you do, because at times we behave good and bit evil as well. And this evil doesn’t mean being a bad person, it just means “Not waiting for the signal to turn green”, or “Throwing the garbage on the road” (Cause there was no dustbin around, so lame reason, Lol). My point being, everybody is bad sometime and vice a versa. So that covers the good and the bad, but what’s the corporate ha? Now these are the strangest but the smartest people on the earth (at least they think so,Lol). So being in corporate life for almost two years, I observed many people. People of my age, little bit seniors and highly seniors as well. And ...
