X & Y

Trying hard to speak,
And fighting with my weak hand,
Driven to distraction,
So part of the plan.

When something is broken
And you try to fix it,
Trying to repair it,
Anyway you can.

I dive in at the deep end,
You become my best friend,
I wanna love you but I don't know if I can

I know something is broken,
And I'm trying to fix it,
Trying to repair it,
Anyway I can.

Juhu

Just a bit of imagination.... is all that one needs. To make their world beautiful. A world of color and toothy smiles... a world of exxagerated gestures and gentle kisses blown into the air....of characters who defy gravity and conventional judgements...
Oh it's all a bit silly. But then we hope it is so. Imagination begins with a bit of silliness, eh? ;-)

oh it's magical, i tell you honey.... it's the most wonderful world... it's light - soft, supple and yet so bright.... :-)

Oh I can't tell you more for that would just take away the surprises....if you would come with me, we could go there together... oh ya I think now I know the way.... but all I ask of you is some Belief. Yes my beloved, just believe. Just look into my eyes and believe !!! :-)

And we shall see a wonderful other side, together :-)

Mightily, mightily impressed with One Republic's 'Secrets'. Strange kind of a song but then what powerful arrangement !!! Just sweeps me away in its juvenile power !!

Presentations !!

hey, just realised why am smiling so much suddenly after some uninspired performance at work. I suddenly got an instruction from my boss, " Anup, can you help me with a presentation ?" That was like music to my ears !! I have a job where I have never made any major presentations or worked on any. Somehow in HCL there is no presentation culture. And being in the junior cadre I was never the one who made presentations. To add to that I never got to present apart from some internal trainings that I did for the other teams.

So here I am realizing that what I always wanted to do in corporate world, is this. Present my ideas, my way, and thats what excites me..... I have a way of doing presentations which I think is pretty good ( atleast my B-school thought so). So now I know what i have been missing from my work....

Now that I am at a good position in the company, I expect more such presentations, and more such exciting work ! BRING IT ON BROTHER !!

New year post

Hey, I almost forgot that my last post was a 'not-so-nice' one. Can't have such a post adorning my blog so lets take inspiration from my Guru Mr. Deepak Gupta and post this beauty by Emily Dickenson. Deepak sir sent this to us yesterday as part of his Monday Morning mail to us.... So here it is, the first post of the new year dedicated to him and his joie de vivre

life


If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

falling with a 'thud'

Sometimes optimism can be a bitch ! you think positive and think that things will work out... but naaah! it doesnt happen sometimes that way ! Life can be a bitch some times - Hell bent upon teaching bitter lessons. But hey, what to do if I refuse to learn from my mistakes... well instinctiveness can also be a bitch sometimes !! Nonsense can also be a bitch sometimes - making me feel as if I am the only one making a mistake in the process of trying to make things work out. As if the others are perfection and matuarity personified. And then sometime I myself am a bitch - i write posts like this !! Lol ! Everythings a bitch sometimes - Ha ! Ha ! Ha !

NEWS

NEWS - is North East West South. I don't find any of that on TV. Whatever happened to good old information !!!! And the sight of Barkha Dutt makes me puke. Once upon a time she was my 'dream date' ! Lol ! The Headley 'investigation' sounded like some soap from primetime tv - what with all the sound effects and background razzmatazz ... whew! I just dont feel like watching news on tv.
