Dedication

Ennodu vaa, veedu varaikkum...
En veetai paar, ennai pidikkum!

This line caught my attention for a long time now...Though I was hearing to this song for 2 or more months now, I finally got to c the video today and it was so romantic...I always thought SRK cld do magic with his eyes, but today I got convinced even Surya could to the same.. I thought I would put up this song in my blog today and yes I haven't thought or said this before, but if some1 would ever want to dedicate a song to me..I would love that song to be this...a perfect dedication to me..

Now isn't it my turn to dedicate a song to people I love..so here u go..one of my favs: I'll Always Love you...



Would like to end with few nice lines from the tamil song I put up above...

Kaathal yenae kekkavillai
Kekkathathu kaathil illai!
En jeevan jeevan neethanae
Ennathonrum neram idhu thaanae
Nee illai illai endraalae…
En nenjam nenjam thaanghathae…

P.S

Couple of minutes back..came across a quote which is sooo true..thought would share it here as well: Don't run when I push you away. That's when I need you most and want you to stay. When you remember how hard it is to change yourself, you begin to understand what little chance we have of changing others. Who do you turn to when the only person in the world that can stop you from crying, is exactly the one making you cry?

Live it Up!!!

" Live life every day to it’s fullest, and keep breathing to see what arrives tomorrow on your doorstep "
-This is the message I got after watching my all time fav movie CAST AWAY. What I thought was a boring Friday evening with no plans din't afterall turn out to be so much boring..I made my dinner and sat down to watch some movie and to my luck, they were playing Cast Away today and there u go, my evening was fixed : a quiet dinner followed by a movie, a bit of blogging and an amazing night hearing to soft music along with a bit of reading and last but not least, a sound sleep.

Since Chuck(Tom Hanks's character in the movie) is one of the characters that I admire a lot, I thought I would dedicate today's blog for Chuck and Wilson. Now, for those who are wondering who Wilson is, I would get back to him in a minute. Let me tell what I like about Chuck. The character of Chuck can be divided into 3 parts: Chuck, in his normal life as FedEx employee, Chuck on the island, and Chuck returning home safe and sound. The first and the third are so common to everyone of us. But the second one, which is to survive in a deserted island for four or more years is something we don't get to see everyday or get to do frequently. I think this is the best part of the movie. Long story cut short, Chuck is a manager in FEDEX who delivers packages and is in charge of the company. On one such mail delivery made by plane, a storm hits and makes the plane crash, killing the pilots, and Chuck's friends, leaving him as the only survivor. He is somehow able to escape the crash into the ocean and swims to an island that is uninhabited. He is left all alone in the world on this island, with no electric devices no communication with the outside world, and nobody to talk to. The heart of the movie centers around this one man's plight aboard this deserted island and how he is able to survive for many years there. He is able to keep track of time through a system of markings and uses parts of the plane that have been washed up onto the island to survive. He buries the body of his fallen friend and pilot that has been washed up onto the island and mourns his death.

Interestingly there are three things I have experienced that Chuck has showcased in the movie. Firstly, being intense at work. Secondly, tenacity when presented with an unanticipated situation where I’m required to make the toughest decision. Last but not least, being self-reliant. I have always been proud to have the ability to grab my own life’s wheel and steer through it if not like Chuck during his 4 years away from humanity.

The other important character in this movie is Wilson, a volleyball named after its manufacturer. Chuck finds this in a package washed away from the crash. It serves as his only companion during the four years. When Chuck tries to make a fire, he cuts his hand and angrily palms the volleyball and throws it. This leaves a hand-shaped blood mark on the ball. He then bandages his hands and wipes away some of the blood, making the volleyball's "face". Though initially Chucks sees it as a ball, in due course he begins to see Wilson as an actual being, and not an inanimate object. He gets so close to Wilson that there is one scene in the movie, which anyone would get moved watching. It is the scene where Chuck loses Wilson after the volleyball washes off his raft and drifts too far out to sea for Chuck to be able to retrieve it. Chuck cries a lot after failing to save Wilson and throws away his oars, seemingly losing the will to live after losing his friend. A wonderful scene indeed!!!

Every day is so precious to live and enjoy. I have learnt it through experiences plus my dear friends remind me this every time I ever forgot..To end I can just think of a quote SRK made in one of his movie..Enjoy ur life! U never know if there is a tomorrow.

Aaj...

Aaj Ek Hasi Aur Bant Lo..
Aaj Ek Dua Aur Mang Lo..
Aaj Ek Aansoon Aur Pee Lo..
Aaj Ek Zindigi Aur Jee Lo..
Aaj Ek Sapna Aur Dekh Lo...

Aaj....

Kya Pata...

KAL HO NAA HO !!!!!


Another one...

Har pal yahan jeebhar jiyo
Live life to it's fullest every moment
Jo hai sama kal ho naa ho
The time you have now, may or may not be there tomorrow

Zoommmmmm

16.92 mph average, 7.5 miles, 26.35 mins; Yessssss! This was my record today..WOW..I cannot believe tht I rode so fast!!! Now its true that part of the credit goes to my friend Brian, who rides really really fast in his road bike. I had to convey something to him and so started speeding with a hope tht I cld catch up with him at some time. I knew it was very difficult to do this, but then I told myself not to give up and it happened. I finally caught him halfway the trail and told him wat I was supposed too..but may be coz I was speeding all thro , even after I had done talking to him, I cld not stop going fast. I continued till my destination maintaining the speed in and around 17..It felt great when I reached my car..I made it in 26 and odd minutes..thats a great deal for me..Donno if I can beat my own record in the next few days but I would surely keep this in mind and the day i beat this record I would blog again about it. Today was also the day I saw a snake in the middle of the trail while I was riding at noon. Since it is fall, there were leaves all over the trail and I just happened to c the snake when I was so close to it and put a sudden brake to not ride over it :- O

Interestingly, this speed made me go high that I came home and got an interest to prepare a complete south-indian dinner. Now since I decided to make one I thought I could call my buddies abhi and sandy and eat with them. So I went to walmart, got the veggies I needed. I made 2 side course : Okra fry and Beans fry along with sambar(lentil soup) and rice. I had also got samosas (appetizer) from the nearby indian store. I already had the desserts: gulab jamun and carrot halwa. So there u go, isn't it the complete meal anyone wld wanna eat..Could not believe I was motivated to do this all...All credits goes to the energy I got from riding so fast. End of day, I was happy and the guys were happy eating good food. What else can I ask for ? It was a perfect day indeed!!!






P.S Today I also got a couple of snaps of my cute little niece NIYATI...We take portrait pics of her every 3 months..so this is her 18th month pics, along with my whole family. She is sooo adorable tht I wanna put her snaps up my blog..Luv u sweetheart!

Must Love Dogs

Dog - Man's best friend :- One feeling which I am waiting to experience for a long time now. The thing that I love in dogs are that they are loyal and they are so unconditional. Can u get a love better than an unconditional love? No ways! I always wanted a dog all through my life. But my parents were reluctant to buy one and furthermore throughout my life I have lived in a flat were dogs aren't allowed..Its considered nuisance to neighbors to have a dog in the 4th floor where we stayed. Mom said she was tired looking after us tht she dint wanna new entry at home and she doesn't like dogs shedding hair..Thats when I decided I would have a dog, when I buy a house or when I get married. I even decided what breed I want..either a golden lab or a golden retriever. Both these dogs are really active..so alike me and I am not interested in lazy dogs lying around in some corner...but something which is as active as I am and shows enthusiasm whenever it sees me. I have had lots of friends having dogs..they all say one thing..how much they luv cing their dog running to them as soon as it sees him/her reaching home from work. Infact, I was so close in buying one..as I am staying alone for past 6 months and felt it wld be nice to have some1 at home waiting for me and jumping over me as soon as it sees me back home..But then I stay in a 1 bedroom apt..which gives him/her less space to roam around and I am away for 9 hrs..which wld make me leave her/him alone all day..so i dropped the plan and thought wld buy 1 when I have a bigger house preferable 1 with a yard. Interestngly, the feeling of want of attention is not only there in gals but supposedly even in dogs. I am fine with it, coz I am also a person who gets sad when I am not getting enuf attention..so y not a dog. Since I have never had dogs, I get a lil scared cing one and wld take atleast 5 mins to get along with one..But I believe tht once I get along..I wld become so close to them..Like for example I had gone to a friends house for Dilwali and they introduced me to Luna( a black lab). Luna was all over me..but I was not getting along so well..I was scared a bit..but she kept on coming over me..tht made me think she likes me and wants to make friends with me..so i went forward..called her and she came jumping over me, licking me all over..I really mean..all over..she dint leave a place vacant..she smelled me and licked me and finally decided i am okee to be her friend (:-P). After tht she was just lying over my lap and we both watched a movie together. She was so adorable and was luving to sleep over my lap..When it was time for me to leave, like a kid demands another kid to stay..she was literally demanding me to stay over..not allowing me to go, standing right across the door, not even obeying my friends orders..was so cute to c tht..

I made my decision more firm..tht I wld have a dog in future and the my guy must love dogs along with me..I want to experience tht loyalty, tht unconditional love, that companionship that I have always heard about..I am putting up a pic of luna and me..It was luv at first sight..she was indeed a dog tht ne1 wld luv..
