stars on the rise
all for a price
on the river of life
in a boat made of lies
where there is no horizon in sight
no wrong and no right
cause the rules have lost their might
and the people have lost their fright

I, the ordinary
the truth eludes me, and life continues to fool
i wasnt here for an ordinary life I'd thought
to salvation i'll take the world before it rots
but like all else here i am,
lost in small battles of mundane life, of mundane thoughts
Is money the only cause left to run behind
no goodness inside to shine
its all just become a race,
a race to find the next goldmine
and when we reach there
we run for the next one ahead,
till we find ourselves submerged in a sea of gold
shine spread all around
but the eyes they're always closed

Taniya
She sits besides getting ready to say good bye.
For the last time i look into those eyes and capture a picture to nail on the memory walls.
I cant cry right now lest she comes to know my love for her eternal.
The fleeting feeling is taking over.

We the unfocussed
i think this world can do with a few unfocused people.
though they might not right away serve the purposes of companies that
work in specialization, these men can definately help the world move forward.
due the hazy nature of their outlook of the world they can percieve all kinds of shapes out of nowhere,
sometimes those which others have missed and at other times those that do not exist and are purely
creation of their mind which has a propensity for works of fiction.
for the world to progress, these two kind of people will have to work together.
those with the depth and those with the breadth.

Evolution
there is no end to evolution,
so why run, ejoi it now,
believe you are evolving,
and help urself evolve,
cause it not ur mind that knows of this evolution but only your
innner soul, the one that is in connection with the soul of the world,
of the universe.

Uncertainity
something within me suddenly started feeling insecure.
The same me who was till yesterday ready to live life the way it came, suddenly sees the need for a plan.
Suddenly the feeling has creeped in that time is running out.
I am sure that it not a normal life that is a stake here. What stands at stake is the greatness, the sense of having achieved something extraordinary.
Life can go on, and with some luck finances wont ever be a problem.
The knowledge exist within that nothing can be achieved without hardwork.
What we call hardworkk actually means doing things that we dont want to do in our otherwise routine life.
Something that requires an effort. And once you start enjoing that effort its not really hardword.
So the trick is to fool urself into believing that what you are doing is actually fun.
The inner urge to do something has to be great enough to pull you over your lazy self,
that which believes in looking for shortcut to everything, that which has forgotten to think hard to fight.
The need is to revive the fighter, the spirit that can help carry off the dumbest of activities with the best of spirits feeling more refreshed that drained.
Coming back to the topic of the uncertainity of the future.
Sometime ago, Dug Tank in his talk at the company said that we need to be a master of our craft in order to survive.
That thing makes sense but what happens to this mind that is not ready to stick to anything.
That wishes to be everything, wants to do everything.

Office Time
Who said office was bad .. its at times heavenly break from the life at home ...
when u want to run away from the haphazardness spread around you to a place where
you have a goal, a mission to live by ...
Plus new faces to look at who have nothing personal to discuss but only a goal that everyone is working towards.

Life
The wind blowing through his wispy tufts of hair. Wiping his spectacles he looks at the scenery that surrounds him, right out of a National Geographic magazine page.
But he didn't know what to do next. All these years the dream he had seen, the place he wanted to be at was right in front of his eyes.
Something was missing. Probably her touch, her nagging presence that he hated then but which was missing so glaringly in this defining moment of his life.
A legion of Buddhist monks passing by him, smiling in a unexpectant way.
Out to find the truth of life, traveling far and wide, he slowly but surely started realizing that he was going on the easier route.

The Sea and the Setting Sun
On the sea shore, I sit besides my house, watching the sun set. Dreamy eyes they watch every movement in the water with a rapt attention. The only occasional disruptions are offered by the flocks of birds flying close to the water creating shadows on the setting sun, scenes right out of a painting. This time it somehow provides a perfect setting for retrospection and for reflection on life. The vast sea sets forth the stage for thoughts to flow out uninterrupted, into open space, for thoughts experiment to happen.
Far and wide I travel sitting here, any boundaries are only my creation.
Inside, outside the travel is effortless and free.
Memories zooms past at express speeds.
.. to be continue .....

Lessons in Understanding People

- No politics dude ... its more often than not explicitly evident ...
- Never judge a person by the company he keeps, and actually try not to judge a person at all ....
- Give people chances and once you do so ... believe in them ... give them confidence ... everyone has potential, the need is to find the key to unlocking it!!

Communicating with models
How do you best communicate your ideas to others.
As Hasso Plattner, co founder of SAP and the main financier of the Standford D school,
say, it makes sennse to create a model out of your concept and then present it.
This thing provides a basis for invoking positive criticism from the other party.
And will be a great help in evolving towards a consensus of the outcome.
Thats why rapid prototyping of ideas is such an important tools in the hands of a designer.
Hasso Plattner :
"We need people to explain new ideas in the form of models so it is captured and people can contribute.The artifact is key,it is better to have a conversation about a 'thing,' as you move the conversation from my idea versus your idea to me and you talking about 'this thing'."
