AtTiTuDe...NeVeR sAy DiE n NeVeR lEt DiE..!!!

Its not about your nature and strengths...but its about the attitude in you and the instincts behind...!!!

None of the six sensed so called SOCIAL ANIMALS taught me this...Last night when I was watching the TV..one of my hardcore favourite channels...The Animal Planet...there was this amazing program about survival instincts...

It was a huge herd of wild bisons on one side...and who are not equipped enough to face all challenges from the fierce jungl which surrounds it...and all they have is their huge body strength and the sharp horns to defend itself from any kind of attack...!!

On the other end...there was this huge group of hunters and scavengers...One was the group of Lions...rightly named the King of the Jungle...and all it had in its vision was to feed it newly born cubs and all it has in its mind is the fact that...I need to hunt on the weaklings for my survival...!!!

And the other end was the group of Heyna's...these are pretty safe in the jungle for the fact being...they either feed on the carcus leftover by the hunters or they feed on the carcus of the hunters themselves...which are lying around lifeless after failing the hunt for their survival...!!..in simple words..its the hunter who is hunted...

Now in the focus of activity...There was this aged Bison which was finding it even hard to move its legs...and the hunters have spotted it already...and so did the scavengers...but the attitude of the bisons is what that is to be noted here...

Hunters waiting for the prey to die by itself..NEVER...its now that they are the most agressive...and the scavengers...waiting for the prey to die by itself or to be hunted...they would run in to get the most out of the sad death or the successful kill...!!!

Our showstoppers the Bisons...all they did were the strongest on the whole group circled themselves around the prey...and evading away any form of a breach attempted by the Lions or Heynas...and mind you..all of this using the only strength of their body...their Horns...!!!

But...think again...is the horns the only strength...??..Nope..not to me...I would say the very attitude of them standing on top..not mattering about whom they fought against...they tried saving the Bison till it breathed its last...they did not let it get HUNTED...!!!..and they also know that someday...they might be the prey...!!!

Now put yourself in the position of those bisons...the jungle being this weird wicked world...the hunters being the people who are waiting around to exploit your weakness...and the scavengers being those who attain all the much needed chunks for survival though they are not the hunters or the hunted...!!!

All that can save you till the eleventh hour..is the RIGHT ATTITUDE...!!!...and to fight till the last straw...

Tears...

Always wondered...

It takes a lot to come out of the impact of 2 drops of tears from the depth of ones unfathomable eyes...than what it takes to free yourself from the impact of a giant Tsunami from the sea floor...

Its not the power that is involved but the emotion behind it...!!!

PaInFuL pLeAsUrE...!!!

Days went by, where time never flies,
Nights went by, without sleep in my eyes,
Was it my mind, or was it my heart,
Though never have these senses in me, THOUGHT apart...!!

Lost my pace, am as fast as a snail,
Dew drops on me feel like shower of hail,
The very thought of this, makes me go pale,
As the pain of it, is like being hit with a nail...!!!

You never know how it would feel,
Unless you empathize or feel it for real,
When your heart skips a beat, in the past and now,
Its just because I MISS YOU my Love...!!!

Missing Day...

I went out in the midnight thinking of the past few months that I have soent outside the comfort of home...

2 new places, of 2 different extremes...The U.S...a place which I liked more than I thought I would...for its sense of space...for its Starbucks...for the greenery...for the dream B-schools of mine...!!!...n many other reasons to hate it...like its lack of transport...

Then came in Singapore...Hated it right from day one...for its cramped nature, for people who donot know how to live life and majority of their time goes with WORK...!!!

With the rain drizzling and water droplets patting me on my scalp, I looked up to feel them on my face...And there it was...twinkling in the sky...like a star..transporting people across land masses and unfathomable oceans...an aeroplane...

Time had come and I had to walk back home...went for a warm shower and I was thinking of the good few months stay in the U.S...the indorr tennis sessions...the early morning cricket matches on the TV...the cold breeze against my face...still cannot forget the way when my little cousin wanted to come to Singapore with me...and suddenly...the sound of another aeroplane...Have never heard them back to back in such a short span since the time I landed here...

Time was telling me something...I wanted to figure out what it was. Finished my shower with this thought in my mind...I wanted to know it...and i checked out the time on my laptop screen...then something struck me...Aeroplane...when was the last time I was in it??

October 21, 2006...the night which basically turned my life around...I thought a lot about it when I was interviewed for Citigroup in August and I had to say an Yes for this one question.."If I was ready to travel from US to Singapore if required?"...going to 2 different countries in the expense of my company and being paid for it on top...It was like Ben'NJerrys chocolate icecrem being given to you witha 50$ bill...;))

But...this night I thought of this in a different way...I did agree to go from US to Singapore for the project..but did I give them the right to take away one day from my whole life..??..!!!

Yes..I lost one whole day...(That too a weekend..;))..)..wondering how...Well..here it goes...

Boarded a flight on the 21 Oct night @ 10:00...Flew to Stockholm where it was 21 Oct evening...then flew all the way KL where it was 5 in the morning...of 23rd October when I landed...though my entire flight including the Stockholm pitstop was for 20 hours...:-?...!@#$%^&*()...

Where the heck did 22 October, 2006 go...agree to it or not..I have lived one day less than you have in the stage of LIFE...!!!
