Chronicles of the Warrior!

Life moves on!

I could never imagine my life will change forever in no time! A sudden tragedy has befallen me and shaken my roots to the core! It was exactly 79 days back, that dreaded day I still remembered. It was morning 9Am and am at office, and I know am trying to bite a red apple which I had bought it from home. But suddenly something stopping me…thoughts of my brother yes, all of a sudden his spirit whispered to me and it wants me call my brother and speak to him! I know it sounds eccentric but everything has some reason to it. So I just followed his spirit and started dialing his number….its ringing!

But I can’t hear his voice rather some other stranger was on the wire with lot of noise added to it. I thought I might have dialed his number faultily , so again connected and this time phone was lifted but clutter followed with hooters on the road…slowly now i can hear my father’s voice which I never heard it before in that pitch! He was crying incessantly and I am shocked.

I still can’t forget those hardest moments of my life till now …he says with sour voice ‘your brother is no more’…I was like ‘what?!!!’ Ohmygod….my brother is no more and am fainted! A road mishap had taken my brother’s life and he had lost his life on the spot! Unbearable loss…doesn’t even know how to handle and am totally blank.

It was an instant nostalgia with all of 26yrs of life in my eyes, in that moment everything flashback which am unable to stop …how can i forget those days which we had spent together …oh its hard and unimaginable to think;  just irreplaceable loss for me!

I lost words and am rattled... Life has hit me hard and I know it was harsh on me and also know it’s going to be a void forever but again such is life! It should move on…it never stops for me or you or nobody and that’s the bitter truth!

The dreaded period made me to realize why people often say Life is short! Yes, it is true and that’s why always try to live every lap with full of zeal and never ever try to regret on anything. At the end everything will be fine, if not it’s not the end!

We don’t have control on life…Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

Sometimes it teaches you in hardest way. No matter whether you like it or not, it continues!  That’s why a french saying goes like this… c’est la vie! Yes, such is life…

Life is time and the ability to concentrate and to use your time well is everything!

Henry Miller - Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. 

Am aloof...

 

My world has shrunken and am now aloof in this world...

Now or Never!

I am so blue today :( am shrugged rather shirked and am not liking it *apparently*

Oh no, you know it was all due to that captious jerk who had ruined my party... darn it! i know i won't deserve such a treatment but I think maybe it is a much needed wakeup call for my elusive dream which was tantalisingly close enough to be accomplished by then last year but sadly missed by a whisker! That still hurts ME sometimes! Good god, if only I could…I wouldn’t have seen this day …

One thing i learnt, it's all suckers world atleast its true in the corporate world. It's like the one who suck others vamp will have the so-called glory! But by the way who the heck wants such a  crap? No way, it’s not my cup of tea! Am just waiting for my time to say much needed adios...Only hope that I’ll have my heyday soon!

Really, it's high time for me now! …Yes my task is cut out and it's Now or Never... i have to make it!

Gone insomniac!

 
I have been an insomniac from past few days and am trying to close my eyes in the night but those turbid thoughts make my sleep go awry :(  i think i should stop worrying about future than concentrate on things at my hand which will eventually leads to my accomplishments.

by the way, i started reading a new novel by Earnest Hemingway called  as A moveable feast, its all about his experiences during his Paris trip and i think his style of writing is so different very much realistic and am liking!  Of course, let me finish it first then I will share its complete review here...

Back to reading...:)

Imagine there is no heaven....

 

 

This is one of the beautiful songs, sung by great legendary singer: John Lennon....
it's so soothing to heart and i think lyrics is just incredible, so profound in its depth!           

walking in the snow :)

Couple of weeks ago i had an attempt to shoot a video with the help of my Nokia N900 mobile... i was on my way to office and then there was a snow fall which i adore alot ...so,couldn't help but capture into my cell.

 

i think i made  justice!...did i?

A greatest war movie ever!

After last night's NYE bash, got up late today...like it was almost an afternoon...lethargically helping my self to move my body out of bed! Finally i woke up and felt something empty in my stomach ...seems signs of breakfast!  I just quickly freshen up my breath and open the fridge, take out some strawberries, blue berries and few of waffles put into oven to serve with maple syrup. Now that's what today's my breakfast was....sound's yummy isn't it...it is :)

Lazing on sofa, swapping the channels of a Television...come across one of Tom Hank's flick on Showtime! Now being an ardent fan i hate to miss any of his movies. He is truly gifted actor, it’s a sheer joy to watch him on screen. By the way movie playing on TV was Saving Private Ryan, a film directed by Steven Spielberg in 1998. It’s a war movie on 8 soldiers including a captain Jhon.H.Miller played by Tom Hanks. It was a movie based on a Normandy Landings of World War II, Private James Ryan played by Matt Damon the one of the brother whose three brothers were dead in the war so, his mother at back home was in full of grief. To alleviate some of her grief US Army officials decided to send a troop of 8 soldiers to get back her fourth child i.e. Private James Ryan home. 

 

Picturization of film was just impeccable! Its an almost-three hour film is riveting start-to-finish, especially with that memorable beginning action scene, probably the most dramatic in the history of film. it's about 22- minute opening scene of action against the Germans in tanks - is an astounding movie experience. Just brilliant.

Well, it's ineffable to describe in words, though it was my 2nd attempt to watch that movie still I can’t express how grand that movie is!

Truly deserved 5 Academy Awards but irony was it hasn't won it for the best picture category!

A new dawn!

At last its New Year Eve and new spirit!  finally back to blogging...gosh, its been ages haven't written a single new post..pheww!  NYE, certainly it's a milieu which will force back thoughts into some semblance of order. i know it's all just a heads up for new year, it's the things which we perform or do over a period of time will decide the results what we deserve.

New Year is a special day for optimistic people and for people who define or believe in the words like inspiration, hope, belief, faith etc... All in all it works as a pinch of motivation to get started a year with BANG !

A great roman philosopher Seneca famously quoted..."Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end". If i had to sum up the last year, I think it wasn't that bad other than two things were terribly gone wrong and hurt me so much. One of the incident was loss of my granny, it was sad but in one way it was like finally granny's soul rest in peace as she was going through extremely excruciating pain so death might just provided her a sigh-of-relief. Another one was my admission into master's program! it was like tantalizingly close enough to seal the deal yet couldn't! i just missed by a whisker as i was in the hunt till the last minute but end up with a waitlist @20!

Apart from those melancholy deeds i did had a couple of wonderful achievements which will only inspires me and fill my soul with full of joy which is enough to be invigorated for more. Certainly one of the most enthralling moments in the last year was when I finalized the sweet home for mom and dad...as per status quo it's just 15 more days away from the completion of home and eventually it means that just an inch away from the realization of parents sweet dream! OMG, they love it and I am really happy for them. Another good thing happened was on Job, its like new challenges were accomplished and hence resulted in an appreciation from the business clientele …it’s certainly in a state where one can easily say things only looks bright!

Well that's all how I will say adieu to this year 2010! I welcome the New Year with full of hope and zeal :) No am not trying to prepare resolutions but i just wanted to be more consistent in my life while dealing things. At the same time three most important things i have to do religiously in this year to see the difference in ME:

One foremost important thing...call it a diurnal or nocturnal activity rather whatever but i need to be punctual on my blogging and that's how i can improve my writing... so, only way... just keep writing!  Second task is that i have to learn Español and not just be able to speak well en español but write a bit! Nevertheless, i have started it already and i hope I’ll continue conscientiously. To end with last and the most important thing is that i have to get ready myself for the Fall-Masters Program in the short-listed schools as per my research. I know these are very demanding tasks ahead but certainly not impossible! So be cognizant, task is cut out and mere lip service only results in zilch!

Its A new beginin...A reason for livin...A deeper meaning....yeah!....I wanna reach my dreams....

 
Before i sign-off, wish you a very happy new year to every one of us...let's usher the New Year with a new ray of hope:)

Hey! welcome to my blog on typepad...i miss my vox but will hope that typepad gonna make me feel cool ;)

soon'll start posting!..

The Art of War!

 

The Art Of War

Sun Tzu

On this weekend I have read, an ancient Chinese book called: The Art of War by Sun Tzu

It’s basically a book discuss on military strategy. It has had an influence on Eastern military thinking, business tactics, and beyond. Sun Tzu suggested the importance of positioning in strategy and that position is affected both by objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective opinions of competitive actors in that environment. He thought that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through an established list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions. Planning works in a controlled environment, but in a changing environment, competing plans collide, creating unexpected situations.

 

It has got some 13odd chapters on various tricks of war and its stratagem. Here I found few of dialogues sounded cool!

 

“Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.”

 

“So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.”

 

 “ He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born captain.”

 

“In raiding and plundering be like fire, in immovability like a mountain.”

 

“A clever general, therefore, avoids an army when its spirit is keen, but attacks it when it is sluggish and inclined to return. This is the art of studying moods.”

 

 

“If, however, you are indulgent, but unable to make your authority felt; kind-hearted, but unable to enforce your commands; and incapable, moreover, of quelling disorder: then your soldiers must be likened to spoilt children; they are useless for any practical

purpose.”

 

Nevertheless, it was a very thin book hardly taken couple of hours to complete but definitely not a bad choice!

 

Anyway see you next week with another pick!
