Why me! Why again!!!

"Hum ek baar jite hain...
aur ek baar marte hain...
aur pyaar.....wo bhi ek hi baar hota hain", life would have been really simple if this famous dialogue of SRK from KKHH was actually the truth of life. But, I beg to differ!
"Hum zindagi pal pal jite hain....
bahut se pal marte hain...
aur payaar...wo bhi pal pal karte hain"!
Let me not generalize to everyone but keep this one to I, me, myself...
I gracefully accept what i am and my imperfections; may be thats why it keep coming back to me....the happiness, the sorrow, the love, the hatred, the right, the wrong, the zest, the gloom. Had I been so perfect, I would never have let the sorrow peep into my personal life which I would have made perfectly joyous and delightful. Kaash sab kuch itna acha hota.....Yun hota to kaisa hota...actually kitna boring hota! nahi?
Kuch bhi happening na hota! I never would have had the chance to feel the happiness of small little things in life that comes after a big fat era of sorrow,  neither i would have felt the warmth of the one touch of a beloved after a long time of separation, nor i would have felt the importance of my being when someone tries to cheer up when sad! Huh!! The thought of such a so called perfect world is spooky...
Life's blessings are disguised in all these small moments!!!
Had there been no sad day there would be no importance of a glad day...but then Why do i complain?
Why do i crib about things not going the prefect way? When there are hard times; Why do i keep shouting--Why me! Why again!!!!
I pause here, to dig a lil' deeper; though i guess i know the answers to my questions...yet i am so caught up in this vicious circle......but....Why me! Why again!!!

Bring it on......

Life has been good these days....full of fun filled challenges, racing against time, beating deadlines and what not! To add a zing to it is the project "iChew" , what a learning i must say! Social media is indeed more than chatting on facebook and tweeting the gossips people, i have learnt my lesson (in a pleasant way), there is a whole world worth exploring!!! Everyday is a new learning, a value addition with everything you do! Setting your goals (small, big, not so big....), chasing them, beating them, raising your standards, benchmarking yourself against you, blah blah blah, but actually its not blah! These day have been days of tremendous learning and trying my hand at so many new things i have never doen so far! Though only a 3-4 hr of sleep is what i have been able to get for my self but the days have been very restful and mind at the epitome of calmness. I guess the only reason for all these oxymoronic things happening to me is that i have been doing things which i have always wanted to, it is a food for the soul and gives me immense esthetic satisfaction. I now agree with all who always professed-"This is one life-do things which makes you happy! Happiness is the key to success." With the freshly enthused energy and vigor i feel i am more than ready to plunge myself into anything that i have ever wanted to.....Dear Life, Bring it on!!!

Down the memory lane.......

A silent chord was struck and the golden memories refreshed....as i got a mail today from Infosys to join the Finacle Alumni Portal. The days of self-dependence in which i took pride of being an Infoscion and the indispensible remembrances of the great friends i had in chandigarh- everything became so fresh and alive. Ad mist of very hectic routine and exams approaching, it was like a breath of fresh air to see a mail from Infy. Truly they say " Once an Infoscion always an Infoscion."
I therefore am posting a few excerpts from my stint at Infosys: some unforgetful moments......
The First Day: Sept 8th, 2008. It still feels fresh- the first sight of magnificent and mesmerizing Mysore campus when i stepped into the world where dreams come true; my training in Infy started. Work hard and you can learn anything -the key take away from 6 months of what i call "the best days of my life". All good things come to an end- so  did my training and i moved on to Chandigarh.
A new journey called Chandigarh: It was  more of a home coming and yet another phase of life started. Everyday walking by the swimming pool and lush green gardens of the Infy campus, i reached my desk with full vigor and pride of being an Infoscion.......ah what a feeling it used to be...!!! Life bestowed upon me the bestEST of friends i ever got and the joys of life manifolded with them.
I moved on again: An old adage in Hindi: " Kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hai"- it was time for me to leave everything behind and move on to achieving higher goals of life.
My last letter on the last day of office(5th April 2011) sums it up all....

Today is THE day!

I compose this mail with mixed feelings….31 months of working at Infosys have changed me a lot, of course for better!

But its time to move on….to fly high……..to chase my dreams….

The time spent here is special to me, as it created memories to be cherished forever....
