IT industry today

IT industry and its people in India today is going through a tough situation.

1.  We are offering consulting services, customer is skeptical about it
2. The competition within Indian companies has gone to such and extent that it started influencing pay cuts of people. At the same time due to removal of diesel subsidies , cost of living in India is going up
3. US goverment is bringing in more regulations aimed at stopping outsourcing

What do you get by doing things and moving around?
Because the "sense of something did properly" is important in a persons life. Without that he cannot remain peaceful, wealthy and healthy

If you get good and bad results from your work, why do you work? cant you go to some ashram ?

NO! the truth is that no one can live without work. Every single moment everything in the world is doing some work. Without work nothing can exist and without thoughts humans cannot live.
So the right thoughts and work brings you peace,wealth and health. In that sense whatever you are doing right now is the right work if you learn to do it more peacefully and efficiently. For that think clear,talk clear,execute clear. Do smart work, do hard work. Even in ashrams people do work do you know? You quit your present work and go to ashram , then your peace will be definitely lost. because there you will be doing a lesser quality work (than what you can actually do), lesser quality respect but will be bounded by strict rules which are not logically justifiable- They are just implemented for the cause of protecting the peace of ashram. you will see some of the most powerful people in the ashram will be breaking them too. Go your way more sharper , smarter and stronger because that will bring you all that you want

Rajas , thamas and satva gunas

what is rajoguna, thamoguna, satva guna?
raja--> happens automatically in the mind.....
krotham=anger, abhimanam=pride,ahamkaram=ego,mathsaram=competition
thamo-->
prerithamaya gunangal...induced qualities
nikrishta karmam= worst acts,kamakrotdhadhikalku karanam=causes lust and anger
sathva guna-->
God Hari is example for good qualities.dhairyam,budhi
what are satva gunas(good qualities),sat karma(best not smart deeds)?
courage,budhi,presence of mind=resist lack of alertness,Since the inner mind is in balance the knowledge passed by organs gets into mind clearly, In this balanced state you get the vivekam= you becomes aware of what is going on, in satva state you move towards peace, sat karma is the karma with dedication and result is satvic guna,

what is the difference between sat karma and satvic guna? How to get the energy to go for the right path?

through sat karma(good deeds) you attain satvic guna. Only thing to improve satvic guna is to do sat karma, While doing sat karma you become aware of what is going on, The result of good deeds is more energy to pursue the right path.

Just build this

The first is competence — just being good at what you do, whatever it is, and focusing on the job you have, not on the job you think you want to have. The second one is confidence. People want to know what you think. So you have to have enough desirable self-confidence to articulate a point of view. The third thing is caring. Nothing today is about one individual. This is all about the team, and in the end, this is about giving a damn about your customers, your company, the people around you, and recognizing that the people around you are the ones who make you look good.

A lack of leadership for a fraction of second

No matter how good leader you are. A lack of leadership for a moment can pay high prices for you. Even when you are tensed with lot of jobs you have, you need excercise care, confidence and unparelell skills. Else you might need to pay high prices for yourself.

How?

The world is imperfect ( Or am I imperfect to understand its perfection - if then who made me imperfect - why it happened). The procedures and tools available to fill the defects are not completely developed.If so How do I make it? I can learn and make seemless expertize on the existing systems. The most trusted and time tested systems like traditional value system, corporate value system,Yoga,Kalari , Jim. But still they provide an incomplete map and defective tools. But I know I will make it,No matter what.For I know , I believe, I struggle

What to blog?

Blog those things which I always wanted to read about, but never could read.

Its been just 3 years..

As if I am not destined to live alone, my college buddy , ex-room mate arrived as new roomiee. When I boarded to Bangalore,3 years back, he went to study MBA. But the main improvement he has done on himself is that he knows cooking :) We mainly chat about the things we have done in our college. old buddies and even wonder if they do talk about us!
Our campus sourrounded by the unmanned hills of western ghats.
The thick fog sorounded the hostel .
The small walks we had to kuttikkanam town via lush green tea plantations.
The ghost stories of Rambans church-bangalow
The teachers who had to take on rebellion in us
The foundry, smithy labs
endless list...All were so dear to us ...Nothing is there with us now...The campus belongs to newcomers...its been just 3 years...

JuSt Returned!

Yes thatz a long time after march 23,2007 my last blog.I am back! This time after a long journey . In and out of country . In and out of Everything that inspired me.. Now I decided to endup my life! with roomates and decided to pursue a loney life.Took a single room.Will be restarting all the wilderness in much more organised way......watch out this space for more.

Seasons in the Sun

It was almost 5.45AM on a monday morning. Oh,man you don’t know the aftermaths of getting up this much late! – murmuring myself I gropped in the darkness for the tube-light switch. Quickly got ready and pulled out bike from the shed. Slammed on the kicker cursing its starting problem .By the time I reached the kalari(martial-arts school),they already had started the 'vandanachuvadu'-the starting-prayer steps.I did 'pranam'(wishing the instructor) but late coming was something plainly unfair for the strict rules of an orthodox kalari .I tried to explain that I was caught by some work in the office late in night the previous day, but ISMA-Indian School of Martial Arts has many votaries. Punishment was to take a 25 rounds up and down on a steep slope nearby.

'Retracing the roots' was started a long back than somebody would think it is. In fact it was either un-documented or sometimes written-but-not-published. I was madly in search for finding out the perfect co-ordination of mind and body so that over a period of time I structure to be a compact piece of human being .I landed to a career where people at last turn out to creatures who do over-thinking and less living and that worried me.what is the use of becoming a bulky, plumy and intelligent person?I felt like I was captured by a group of people who possess good brains, good money but with unresolved life-problems. Some of them finds it difficult even to bend for picking up a fallen pen!!. I want to preserve all that I could do with my body when I was a boy- I want to hide myself under a cot, I want to climb up on the trees ,I want to run fast,I want to eat anything that I want..and all.These thoughts became my preoccupation for being embarked on to Kalarippayattu arena.Then it became rather an obsession than interest.

Well, after telling all this to my roomies(they were 5 brilliant engineers), their face froze in an expression of incredulity for a second or two before they burst out laughing: -) . For some days it became as a cliché for my room-mates and none of them accompanied me to ISMA. They even thought that I am crazy and my interest won’t last long. One guy who knows me for a long time commented that his friend was intractable . Rather he confided to me about my rampant idealism of juggling roles between profession and tradition. Later this big time movie buff amazed me by marrying his colleague-guessing now why he couldn't find time those days. Everybody has a reason to do what they do/they do not do.

At kalari (the practice ground of kalarippyattu) where views melt and learning started, I came to realization that I was amidst the people that I always wanted to be with.Balakrishnan Nair was a great guru not only to martial arts but he could spiritually throttle a disciple’s mind. Under his training I not only experienced the feeling of being good physique but I found my-self illuminating the neural-roots(believe me I could feel it!!) so that my thoughts ultimately became n-times faster and clearer .Of-course speed of mind is complimentary to step out meythari(bare-hand-fight). Only he can perform the 'chuvadukal'(leg movements) who is clear in concepts.Once the neurons are cleansed ,you feel the gap between your mind and your body is filled,hence you do what you wanted to do with your body. When the days passed I started realizing thoughts of my pre-generations also. Just imagine, your brain is inherited from your father /mother ,so the thoughts they ensemble when they were young might be residing in your brain. You can argue with me that thoughts are not something which 'exist or sediment' just like that. But can I ask you what is matter-energy relationship proposed by Einstein. Seeing ‘thoughts’ as an energy pattern, they can be converted to matter. A group of such matters combined will become 'genes'. Everybody knows that the gene can pass behaviors(behavior-pattern is the result of what you ‘think’ in a particular real-life scenario) Well that is what my understanding & explanation of how I got plugged into my forefather's thoughts.Though I am not a biologist I am clear about what happens inside me.

Those were the days of hard-core practice which exhausted me to such a level that,I used to glut two mugs of fresh-juice to reinstate. The inexplicable experience of being reincarnated.

'Experts don’t advertise themselves’ and that is what I have to say about Guru Balachandran master at Dharmikam(kalari-ashram). I was fortunate enough to start by giving Dakshina to Guru’s guru. And way back in bangalore I deeply regret of the exotic life that I have lost.Retracing those roots I see a large turn that I have taken. Don’t know whether I shall be able to cross-back that turn at some point of time in future. But I wish I could.

Being the owner of a bike which was accessible to anyone anytime, I could nurture good friendship with the seniors. They taught me ,cared me like a younger brother .I was one among them. With a tint of sadness I bid them adieu… -Season In the sun from Westlife -hearing those lines reminds me of them.
"good bye to you my trusted friend....Together we climbed hills n' trees...I was the black sheep of the family....We had joy ,we had fun we had season in the sun but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time"

Memorabilia

The drama was rehearsed at the terrace of our school building located beside a lush green rice-field. This was for two reasons.

One- We didn’t have a room to conduct rehearsals at our small higher secondary school building .

Two-There was no staircase to the terrace. So anybody who wanted to see the rehearsal had to climb on the slippery wall, then take the next step to the roof of the toilet ,then third step to sunshade of the main building and finally need to roll over to the terrace. For that reason the presence of others were limited and helped us not to lose the suspense of the drama.

We worked hard for our first time ever stage show, rehearsed for long hours(Ofcourse we started off all for the sole purpose of bunking the classes ;-)).We got nobody for that single female character as none of the 6 queens who were our classmates were not interested. That was how we sat down to edit out some part of the script.

Finally we landed up on the stage for the school day. None of us had a background in any kind of stage programs. Everybody looked each other as if they had just landed up on an unknown planet.

Nobody remembers the dialogues!! what next??

This was something which was plainly unfair for the audience. The show had gone for a toss!!.

But soon I realized that there was no shortage of real talent in our team. We proceeded to try and sort out the complicated set of circumstances, we managed to place ourselves in.

Everybody started-off with their own self-made dialogues. After a few hiccups my team eventually got adjusted with… but we never knew how to stop the drama…it went on and on. The battle was far from lost, but one can imagine what happened to the pulsating play written by revolutionary Malayalam author N.N.Pillai. We made a plan during the interval to start the car and park it very close to the stage.

“why?”

“Boss, do you really think that the audience would be quiet all the time by seeing all this!! as soon as the drama finishes off or before somebody from the audience puts hands on us, we need to save our little @s#* out of this place.”

At the end of the play, to our surprise ,the audience including teachers, friends and parents gathered around us to commend on our performance. They said, they never felt like ,we had unusually stuck up somewhere. Thanks to the terrace, that nobody knew what the real drama was all about. Rather than the why and wherefores, it is still mystic that who can author a drama better ?N.N.Pillai or our drama team?? But at the end of the day we were sure about one thing... if the author came to know about our performance(of his drama) he wouldn’t have thought twice to kill himself…after murdering us.

As the bottom line I should say about my teenage friends that, it was not bad they struggled (that too without being endorsed by any teachers) and the way they have behaved in difficult moments that we lived on the stage. ..N’ when I look back now .........................
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life...
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
......I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69...
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind…
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no...
...And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about ya'n wonder what went wrong
......I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life…..
