Burnt Notebook!!!

The following passage which I will post in not my original creation.Few days back when I went home I actually ended up feeling a bit lonely since it was a weekday and all my friends were stuck up with their work.I had gone to a nearby place where there a nice lake and lots and lots of trees...basically a nice ,quite, pristine place where I could contemplate the peace as well as enjoy it.I sat on a rickety wooden bench and was taking in the fresh air which I miss so much these days.I was dangling my legs and it at something.Bent down I picked up and it was a empty beer bottle....damn!! Someone should have the courtesy of keeping something for others(Just jokin!!!!).There was also a torn, half burnt notebook along side with it.Almost 90% of the pages had been burnt and there a a handful of pages which were readable.I Could barely open the notebook and i saw the name of the owner.For the sake of Privacy I am going to change it and re christen it to Anon.I managed to read only one page and found it intriguing.Excerpts for all of us to savor!!!!

"Today is a beautiful day but guess what I am having a bad one!!!
Bumped into Bragagans Psaundta and the man was deeply depressed(Idiot!!).It seems still at this age people make fun of his name.Howling he asked me whether it was his fault that his name turned out to be such!!!!Dudes all you wanna be moms and Pops think before you give a fancy name for your little one...that kiddo might end up like up friend...phew!!!!
But this is not the reason I am a bit...ok grandly depressed.I have to admit I spoke to Mom a bit rudely last night I guess.Mom never argues does not mean I can say anything to her.I feel like I have committed a sin!!!!Today I promise myself one thing:Never ever take your loved ones,your closed ones for granted.They will never say anything if you take advantage of them but I am sure it will come back to haunt you one day!!!!!
I always get jittery when people tell me stuffs which I avoid discussing...yes even to myself..............."


Well there it all ended...I could not read a single more letter even though I wished it had more.I wondered how this person would be and what he/she was doing without the notebook.I was curious to know what happened that someone burnt down his/her "Diary" ...well I guess some questions remain unanswered and that too for the good.
Its time I start from here and I am expected somewhere where hopefully my mood brightens up!!!!

Hovering Questions

Life poses you with a lot of questions.Everyone faces one question or the other everyday.I have been traveling a lot round the city these days and happened to meet a lot of people,some good some bad...well lets say with all sorts of people.A little bit of chit chat and we would be immersed into various topics..life in general,politics sports(my favorite) etc.What I would like to jot down here are some of of the most thought provoking and ridiculous questions which I came across in recent times.Obviously we never came to a conclusion for any of these questions.Friends if any one of you have any answer to the below questions please feel free to share it across the board.

1.Suppose you are taking far more interest in your hobbies or say a particular hobby compared to the time and "diligent"energy spent on your work does that really mean you have taken a wring decision in your life?

2.This is definitely on top of the heap when it comes to ridiculous questions.This one comes from a guy who is committed actually but still never misses a heart beat to flirt with any lovely vixen out there.DO GOOD SMELLING GIRLS TURN OUT TO BE ACTUALLY GOOD???

3.Which is more painful....an irrevocable  fight with your best friend or with your partner(read love interest)

4.Why did God bless the fairer sex with the character of talkativeness(pleasse remember this is generalized and we are not talking of all girls per se)?

5, In this digital age when will communication over the world wide web like emails and chat overtake voice communication completely?

Swamiji is back!!!

Well many people were asking what happened to my Guruji our very own reverend Swami Pallnanda.Actually me myself have been a bit of a busy bee lately these days and did not have a chance to go off and meet him at his sacred lair.But having endured mental stress recently I finally canceled some already planned program and hitch-hiked my way to meet Swamiji.Unlike other days the hermit was a tad quiet that day, Wonder if his popularity had been on the wane at present.But one thing I can definitely vouch for is that his personality and charisma is definitely on the upswing.He was in quite a jovial mood and the meeting helped me a lot.Well as always i would like to share with all of the people out there some of the unique thoughts Swamiji conveyed.

*Over dependence on any habit is an addiction.Understand that!
*Your sickness/disability is not an open gateway for others' sympathy.Do not take undue advantage of the innocent souls around you.
*This is something everyone must have heard but Swamiji reiterated it me again---You can lie to the entire world but not to yourself.This is the best way to judge the actions you have taken.Meybe after doing something you publicly say that you have acted as a savior but if there is a hint of doubt in your soul you know you are the criminal per se.
*Inhibitions tie you down like nothing else.Shed them as soon as possible.Just because you are matured does not mean you cannot watch cartoons like a kid.Go ahead ..treat yourself!!!

Well I must be a Gonna now as I have lots of work to catch.Till my next visit you people sit tight and enjoy the match --that is Life!

Thoughts deep down

Today is a Monday.Not sure from what--illness related weakness or Monday morning blues I decided to call it a day or in more simpler language took a day off from office.My mouth seems tasteless from the antibiotics and other tablets I have been taking to get rid of the niggling fever which has been disturbing me for the last 3-4 days.Wish me luck in this particular boring endeavor.When I started to blog on a regular basis I never had much expectation that some of you might be actually reading into the myriad thoughts( read garbage) that I would be spreading into the already crowded and dirty universe of blogging,but it seems quite a few souls do actually take out their time and read what trash I had been throwing out.My sincere and genuine thanks to all of them.May you get all the happiness and peace you people crave for( ok ok I know that was bit sermon -ic!!!)
Ever since from the starting of last month I have developed a habit of being high every weekend.Now I am not a bit apologetic of not being a teetotaler but as my Mom used to say never ever be a slave to any thing...that will kill you.Those words must be heavy since she spoke a long time back but I still remember that day crystal clear.The Problem is that if I want I can surely abstain myself from alcohol for more than a weekend but somehow the thought that I have been drinking every Saturday is hurting me now.AND I DO NOT KNOW WHY.All my friends and philosophers if you know the answer do let me know.Does a person really become a drunkard if he/she drinks weekly or does the lack of self control make one a drunkard.After all its many people's dream that after getting a job they would work hard on the weekdays and enjoy in every sense on the weekends."Work Hard and Party Harder" as our Indian Liquor Baron would say. moreover I do not know why am I going to post it, hell this is no blogging stuff this is a diary  sorta....Lot of confusion in my head. Hope it gets clear in the near future.
PS:The situation might not be actually that grim as it seems .

Midnight Rambles......

Warning:Kindly do not create any controversies over this Pictha!

 

 

 

"It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log"

The starting lyrics of this Immortal Song was gifted to the World by the Beatles.Its now 1:20 AM in the morning and as I still slog it out in the office,waiting for the clock to show 2:30AM I cannot help but think that the first 2 lines of the song is actually mirroring my present situation.Yes I just can't wait to reach home and fall on the bed like a dead log!
Well I had  planned to write on something else today but my hands are not in tandem with my mind which still seems fresh and ready to bare its thoughts out.
Just to give an insight on one of my future topics---movie addiction...I was planning to write on the disease which has been on the process of gripping and crippling me over the last few weeks but I guess that would stay put for another day.
Well today has been a pretty strange day in Office.
I knew 2 of my Team mates would not come but AHOY! I was all alone!!!I never knew India took Onam sooo Seriously.
By the way too all my readers Happy Onam and all the Northies have a great Raksha Bandhan with your Sisters.India-Land of Festivals Rock!!OK,coming back to the original issue Just when I was starting from home another of my teammate messaged he would be working from home as he is Still recuperating fronm Illness.Dude! get well soon!
I came to office and saw holy S*** even the neighboring team is on leave!!!!!Well I thought I would have to ensure a nightmare today but I guess with God's grace lots and lots of work started to pour in and by the time I was able to breathe freely 7 hours have passed just like that.Sometimes I think being alone is a good thing...not sure the reason though!
Writing something in my blog is slowly becoming a habit and hopefully will soon turn into an obsession.The Greatest thing about blogging is that I am not answerable to anyone on anything.I will write what I feel and like,if someone has issues I am not apologetic!!
Not sure what else to write...was planning something but controlled as this is a public place.I keep the pervert stuffs in my mind!!!!Its a late good night from me .Hope everyone has a great...no no AWESOME Tuesday!!!!

Pieces of advice!!

I had the fortune and time of going to Swami Pallananda's Lair today(Read by not going to office) and was enlightened by a discussion going on at his place.Even though I did not participate actively(I have a Oratory issue) I always try to be an avid listener.Many people come to Swamiji's place hoping to hear Soulful thoughts but unfortunately for them Swamiji iss more practical than the word itself!!!!!

As usual I would like to share some of the snapshots of what I gathered from the occasion.

    * Sometimes you tend to remember things meticulously(Simple example:electricity bills) which  others can't,do not think you are a control freak,its just that you are more disciplined in your way of life.Try to keep it up.
    * Any impending decision is like waiting to face a Guillotine.Face your Fear(read Guillotine) more often than not you will triumph.
    * Many People in this world think that by looking Coy and acting street smart you would be able to woo(read desirable) the other sex,do not fool yourself.Remember nothing but the truth triumphs.

PS:Here I would like to mention that even though the advices of Swamiji I am sharing with all seems easy to hear but actually to control your mind and follow it as much much more difficult.So I am a living example who fail to walk the talk ,so do not get disheartened if you find yourself in the same boat.

Bored at office......

Time:10:37PM IST 6th of August Year of the Lord 2010,Friday.
Well the only word I can see from the above line is the last one.
To make matters clear i will shove out(apparently English grammar says shove in but i use it the other way being an iconoclast albeit an optimum one) some endearing ,heart wrenching facts that I facing now:

1)Today in the Friday night   people...Its Friday
2)All my mates in the project team are enjoying(some officially by taking leaves and some by "Working from home")
3)Even though there are some work to be done I am in no mood to work even though i have to stay put in office till 2 in the morning.

In Office Jargon we have something like Monday blues.
Those not familiar with it I will elucidate it:Monday blues simply means not wanting to go to office/coming to office and not wanting to work after two days of blissful peace(whichever way who barter for peace)
Just bristling through the net for something for Friday i got some tasty varieties like Friday Feelings to Friday Hues...only God knows in which situation I am in.

Well I will stop here and ask for the apology of all the people who took out their precious time to read through the above gibberish.At least I will tend to believe you offered some sympathy to me.
Well wishing you all a great weekend and a fantastic Monday blues!!!!

Pallananda's Gyaan Time!!!

Swamiji deeeeep in thoughts!!!!

Many people have been telling that I have become old and giving sermons like a septuagenarian.
Well I finally made up some gyaan and doling these priceless Gyaans for free for the Mango people!!!!
So here you go....delve in them they have deeper meanings than you actually think!!!!

ADVICES

1)The best way to shirk responsibility is to avoid one and then meekly say sorry.Works most of the time.
  Warning:This is not applicable to core responsibilities.
 
2)Never fall for a girl/boy just because she/he is being nice to you,always remember good people will be nice to others and that does not mean she/he loves the other person.

3)This one is in Bengali:"Sabii Maya" meaning all the things in this world are an illusion,so don't run after materialistic needs ONLY!!!

4)Money can buy you attention but not relationships.

5)Sometimes loosen yourself,drop your hair and do wild things,it will clear your mind and help you to face the mundane life yet again!!!

Till next time this is Chao` from Swami Pallananda!!!!AYUSHMAN BHAVAH!!!

First Post!!!!

Well WELL wELL!!!!!
finally I have managed to create a blog!!!!
first things first.
I need to thank a few persons without whom this lazy Ass wouldn't have started blogging!!!
My roomie vishal who is a blogging freak.
My school friends(don't ask their names) whose blogging got me hooked.
finally but definitely not the least Somnath AKA Lomu whose blog I follow regularly,and to whom i dedicate this post(or the whole blog) for advising me in everything under the sun including this blog(YES!).

those who might be reading this blog might baulk at its name:OPTIMUM ICONOCLAST
well to clear matters ICONOCLAST means one who breaks the normal norms, with typical thoughts.
so you can expect mundane things with a little twist,like yellow dal with that extra zing!!!
well that's all for now.
don't worry I'll keep bloggin!

PS:I am eagerly wiating for comments.
