It is almost a year since my last post. I have involved myself in lot of activities in the past 6 months. Getting involved in volunteering activities for the blind and attending the reading sessions, providing all possible support (both monetary and physical) to them is something which we(my school friends who also has joined hands with me) are happy about. The best part is that I have started learning guitar which is quiet contrary to the lifestyle in which I was brought up. I could say that my friend Nirmal is the motivating factor in my decision to learn guitar. It is needless to say that I have taken the correct decision.

I could see the graph of my life moving veritically. I pray that I lead a harmless and useful life.

Its two years since I landed in chennai and life aint easy when I stepped in Chennai on December 2005. Chennai was very new to me and for a person like me who hail from other part of tamil nadu it is always a city that is scarry. All I know untill December 2005 is to study and be good at academics (though I was a part of extra-curricular activities in my shcool days there were not a single extra-curricular programme in my college)I never so much concentrated on my communication skills and realised how huge difference it can make in the career of a person. I felt like I am nothing before the people I met in Chennai until I talk to them. Being optimistic to the core I pushed away the negative thoughts that came my away and started concentrating on bettering my skills to make my seat in this competetive city. Hardwork and knowledge is welcomed everywhere and I got the opportunity to be a part of a law firm. I was groomed and I could see my successful career shaping up in this organization. Hardwork always pays and it paid me well. In life we may have a starting trouble and at that time we need to push ourself and strive hard so that we can see our better tommorrow. On my personal front I had many problems and it all only helped me to become mentally strong and handle situation in a light hearted mannner. This city has taught me the wonderful lessons of my life. It has given me good friends and moulded me to face the challenges in life very boldly. Many of us fail to see that we are in a much much better postion than others but we least think about it and often compare our problems with others and sit mourning that we have the biggest problem on earth. The big message that I got here is Take life as it comes. I always did it and hope will be doing it in future too.

This has been haunting me for a long time and finally I have decided to try it. When I got enrolled in the Bar council I was keen in practising at the courts(left with no other options) though my father's and grand father's dream is to pursue UPSC and to see me as an IAS or IFS or so. But circumstances made me to practice at court and then join the law firm and pursue my career as an immigration attorney. US immigration laws are very tough and I had to put all my efforts to study it apart from improvising my communication skill which is pivotal in my role as attorney. Handling people was really tough in the beginning. After putting my efforts in 2 years of US immigration practice the long desired dream which was sleeping underneath my mind peeped up after the pinprick of my uncle who has started dreaming to make me an UPSC aspirant. This isnt really easy. Finally I made my mind to try my erstwhile dream - civil services examination. Friends were against me since they are of the opinion that the total services are corrupt and I could not do much by becoming part of it. Rather they think that I can earn more in my current way and could flow those funds for the development . My opinion was that by being part of the civil service department I can do much better than what I can do now.I will be a part of the policy making and implementing body. Was not sure until a month ago but now the argument is settled down and I have planned to go ahead. As they say that you will worry in future for not doing what you desired than for what you did I am going ahead to give an attempt and try my luck in the civil services examination.

Its almost 3 months from my last post and things have changed drastically in my life. I was shattered by the demise of my grand father but still then I was prepared for this. Indeed after the death of my father in 2004 I am very much prepared to accept things as it comes. The lacunae left by my grand father cannot be filed by anone. He was my mentor, guide and on whom I can rely when life tends me to take important decisions. End of 2007 has made me to accept new challenges and responsibilities. It has made me to think more practical and view life closely. Amidst the bad happenings there are good things that made me smile. Its almost 3 years I spent a month at a stretch with my mom and now I have the opportunity to be with her. My close friend is on her family way after 5 years of marital life. I got a hike- thats the reason for my broad smile anyway. I started traveling which was my long time wish. My first trip was to thirupathi and thiruchanur with my mom. It was raining cats and dogs in Chennai and it was the same in thirupathi too. All were awe-struck when I returned from thirupathi with a tonsured head.

2007 had many twists and turns in my life and it helped me to have a positive approach in my life and to help as many people I can. Hope 2008 will help me grow mentally strong and to be a good human being.

May 2008 bring peace in the world and prosperity in the life of underpreviliged.

'I send Myself forth, to protect the good and to destroy the evil ones. And to establish righteousness, I incarnate Myself age after age'.

The future generations will really wonder that a man with such noble qualities existed in this world.

Two news took over my thoughts yesterday and they are
1. http://www.ibnlive.com/news/10yrold-mumbai-girl-fights-eveteasers-critical/45465-3.html
2.http://www.ibnlive.com/news/ysr-insults-naidus-lineage-in-full-public-view/45488-3.html

The first incident is a 10 year girl being molested in Mumbai and the second one is the CM of Andhra Pradesh making personal comments about the former CM in the house in full public view.

This incident will be a nightmare for her till her death. Her cry shows her physical pain and mental agony. I am really worried about the bad impact this will have on her future. It will take a long time for her to come out of this. There are lot of incidents happening like this in our country and many of them are unnoticed. I do not know what pleasure guys get in molesting girls. I pray God that she should get the strength to come out from this.

The second incident shows that when a person cannot think logically to defend his opponent then they start making personal comments. The mentality of the people will remain the same inspite of their levels in the society. If we hate someone to the maximum extent we find some pleasure by abusing them. This scenario is everywhere but a man in a high decorum should be careful in what he speaks and what he does before the public. I could only say that he has defamed himself.

Think about it..


I have no clue When was the last time I used it...
