I need a change

I dont think we will have to stress our brains for figuring out when we last heard this statement... Now and then you will heard these four words 'I need a change'... Be it a person who looks like toilin too hard on field or be it a person who has is sitting in a office or a food lover, everyone speaks for a change... Its only the requirement of change which differs... You might want to change your job or you might want to go to a different restaurant... However good the quality of thing, we normally get bored with the same stuff being served... It might look to a person that I am doing quality work but for me its very much possible that I am bored with it and want to do something else... but have also met people who though speaks for a change but when opportunity comes, they step back... may be its because every change brings lots of challenges with it and risks... have also found that such people just dont rise up the ladder and are not able to explore things...

In my case, I should say I have been very lucky as far as change is concerned... Though I am also a bit afraid of taking risks but its the boredom with the existing pattern that I normally accept whatever change is coming my way... Throughout my professional life, it has happened that whenever I feel that I have learnt enough in this field, a new opportunity, a new challenge has come my way... In a little less than 5 years, I have been a marketing engineer, a maintenance engineer, an operations engineer, then a software developer learning mainframe, then developing frontend applications in java, then working on a backend project, the learning Pharma tool Documentum, and then later getting to know of the Validations in pharma industry... phew... I have come a long way....
And on personal side, I am never satisfied with doing same thing for a long period of time... esp if get too interested, then just be aware that I am about to get bored with that stuff... nothing new...

but for me CHANGE IS THE NAME OF GAME... and I am happy to play this game...

Happiness - Is it forever?

Happiness... a term given to an excitation of cells in our body which feels good... but its what we crave for... its what we look for in our life... its what we work for... its what we try to get in life... but we have seen that how much we try, we cant remain aloof from sadness... bad times as we say... just today i was having chat with one of my friend and when I told her that whenever I feel more happy, i know my badtimes are just round the corner... she said similar happens with her... so does it remain with you forever... NO... otherwise how will you recognize the importance of it... you wil loose its very charm... and letme tell you one more thing, reverse also happens but we never remember that... So the best is to enjoy whatever time you get when you are having good feeling... and when bad times come, remember that it wil also not last forever... Even in those bad times you will have some small moments of fun which will give you strength... And you will always have people whom you can rely on... their support will always be there... Quite possible they might not be able to help you out, but even talking to them gives lots of ammunition... And thats how life goes... THIS WHY IT IS CALLED LIFE...

evening walk in Central Park

wow... such a pleasant weather on Saturday after so many weeks... reminded me of blore weather... my roomie asked me whr to go today n i said Central Park.. its around a year here n hv been to this beauty of New York only once n dat was like we say 'matha tekna'.... as expected, streets were full n wen we reached park, it was like a festical... it was all crowded up... just at d entrance, blacks were doing shows... stopped for a moment to watch it n it was indeed nice, except for d fact dat the clothes they wore were horrible...

inside d park, people were just hvng fun... playin football... freezbie.... n man volleyball (my fav)... some were just relaxing on the rocks (reminds me of something)... tryin rock climbin... n wat else... ice rink was empty but people were around... cud b waitin for somethng... den came across a group of skaters... they had some music system of 80s in the centre with some hip-hop music playin n people were dancin around (on skates)... an old lady was doin it perfect...

moved ahead n found again another group of blacks performing... this was much better dan d earlier one... was quite fun... to pull people, they were sayin "Cmon White people, move in front... u dont have to b afraid of 3 black guys.. we wont harm u"... another was.. they asked a child to raise his hand, n den said, we got a volunteer... n lots of pranks in between...

den suddenly i got a call on my cell... thr was supposed to b a project release which I only had planned... so had to leave in between n rush back to home to do work :(

never give up

many a times in my life i hv come across situations whr i had thot dat i shud run away... hv been in situations when i thot dat i cant handle n i shud leave d task incomplete... sometimes even thot of takin extreme steps to get rid of all d worries(yeah...)... dats wat LOOSERS do.... but somehow evrytime dis kind of thot comes 2 mind, thr comes another feelin dat i m not dis type... y cant i do dis... m not a lesser mortal... n i wil not leave dis task until i complete it... dis is d thot which drives me on, keeps me gng n helps me in overcoming difficult times... n dats wat i luv abt myself... never give up...

if u cant do, nobody else can.. n somebody has to do... dats d irony... :-/

just a thot :)

just a thot which came 2 my mind...

Life is short.... make it sweet n u wil live many lives in one single life...
live life like every moment is precious n never waste these precious moments in grudges...
we hv so much 2 do n so little time... if we keep thinkin abt wat happenned in past, we wont do ne gud to ourself....

another one, was thinkin abt dis...
hard times come but along comes d strength to live those... u only need to recognize d strength.... :)... if not, lookd 4 only one positive thing which u will achieve... hw small it be, it wil give u d strength to pass thru those hard times... believe me dis works.....
