Back on the highway

Sorry, for being away. Initially I was busy in office, then malaria got me. :) I m recovering pretty well. Able to sit in my bed, type this post. So feels really accomplishing.

There is a thing that happens to me, whenever I get sick, I just get more time to think. To let my mind wander off. Sometimes, its not at all fruitful. Its all mish-mash. But sometimes, I get to figure out a lot of things. Ranging from my own life to the lives of people I love.

So this time around, I got time to think things over; Time to evaluate the decisions, and the result I got from them. One things for sure I don’t let regret take over me. With every page turned there is a lesson be learned. So I did. 

Mistakes are a part of your life. Everybody makes them. The difference comes with the factor how you recover; How you NOT make them again…

So laid out my plans, thought about lessons, evaluated experiences, and thought of people I found this year. I cherish every one of them. 

By far this year has been the most exciting year of my life. In terms that I saw so many new chapters of life.

So, I m ready to travel that road again. Back on the highway. We shouldn't be giving up at all. Never give up unless life gives up on you, and life only lets you go, when your time comes to leave this place. So until then fight, search, learn, and enjoy all of it.

Looking for the kill

Wait wait, its not about killing someone you hate the most in your life. :)

 Its all about killing (means removal, just trying to emphasize metaphorically) every obstacle that lies between you and your dreams.  We all have dreams. Things that we want to do in this life; but keeping our morals in tact. Its about reaching out, and making them yours. Make them a reality.

We really have to stretch our imagination, test our limits. By the every test, it has the capacity to stretch.    And yes all this should be applied, by keeping the human capacity in mind. Remember, its really never over, when you start telling yourself its done; it over. So, you can always tell yourself, its never over for you.

We need to keep giving ourselves some targets ( for the kill ). Then we should have a go at it. Analyze; prioritize; and execute.

Some bold steps are required, so is the courage to bring in a change. This is all that is humanly possible.

Its never too late to give yourself a target, life becomes what you think it is for you.

So go ahead, find out a target for yourself. At least for today. Take it down. You will feel that you have accomplished something. That will increase your confidence; and strengthen your belief in yourself for going out for a kill.

Happy killing! :) 

And ...... Peace!

Initiate the change

Again, I was thinking about change. Change in life, in thinking, in progress, in ideas. Change is important,  if its made for the good. It refreshes life. Brings new visions to soul. Provide opportunities.  Change is the  entity that makes us feel alive. The difference between the past and the present.

But, one thing that is more important than the change itself is the initiative that brings the change in existence. We cannot and shouldn’t wait for the change to happen for itself. If it does happen without us doing anything about it, then it simply means we got lucky.

But we wont get lucky every time. We have to initiate the change.

This is something that is missing in the most of us. We can complain about our bad states, but we don't actually get up and start working on our progress. We should realize this, and get up, and start the process, that will eventually bring the change.

Good luck to all. 

Peace!

Eagles - Get over it

This is one of those tracks, that gives us the reality shot. Boosts me up like anything.  You will get the message, when you will listen the song, and read the lyrics through. The end result for me is: I have to keep myself enjoying and struggling rather than complaining. 

Learn; move on; conquer.

The lyrics:

"Get Over It" by "Eagles"

I turn on the tube and what do I see 

A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me" 

They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else 

Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves 

Victim of this, victim of that 

Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat 

Get over it 

Get over it 

All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit 

Get over it, get over it 

You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash 

But you might feel better if I gave you some cash 

The more I think about it, Old Billy was right 

Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight 

You don't want to work, you want to live like a king 

But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing 

Get over it 

Get over it 

If you don't want to play, then you might as well split 

Get over it, Get over it 

It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak 

You're makin' the most of your losin' streak 

Some call it sick, but I call it weak 

You drag it around like a ball and chain 

You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain 

You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown 

Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down 

Complain about the present and blame it on the past 

I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass 

All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit 

Get over it, get over it 

It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit 

Get over it, get over it

Gamers Return : Ka-boom!

Yes yes, I m talking about the crazy gaming that we do on computer or consoles. I was totally out of touch with the games. I didn’t have time to play. I remember my teenage days, that I used to spend mostly playing games ( yeah guilty).  I really missed those long sessions; that adrenaline. 

And what were those games; let me recall. Ummm…. Yeah some of the names are Call of duty, Medal of Honor, Counter Strike, Half life, FIFA Series, Project IGI, Grand Theft Auto, Need for speed, Splinter Cell, Mafia ( one of my favorite). Ah! Used to made my day.

That craziness was put to an end mainly because of one reason, that I was unable to cope up with the rising prices of the equipment required for the gaming systems. But…. At last I have got my hands on one graphic card that has turned one of my dreams back to reality.

To me games, really are a source of stress-relief, happiness, and keenness to work hard :P 

I got this card, that seems really cool so far.

XFX Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT  1024MB DDR2 Standard

And guess what was the first game I played, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. :) Getting Bored ? 

Awesome Experience. Once again, I m back to gaming days. I hope they stay this way.

Peace!

Creed - Higher

This is another of those tracks, that remind me of my ambitions, my pursuit of dreams, my search of a satisfied existence in this world. I believe in progress; in moving ahead; in overcoming the challenges. 

'Higher' brings out the belief in myself through which dreams are followed with complete confidence. Makes me believe that sometimes its our efforts that matter the most, not the actual target or desitnation.

Believe in yourself. Build dreams. Follow them. Achieve.

Link of the song 

The lyrics:

"Higher" by "Creed"

When dreaming I'm guided to another world 

Time and time again 

At sunrise I fight to stay asleep 

'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place

'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape 

From the life I live when I'm awake 

So let's go there 

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay? 

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see 

Can you take me Higher? 

To a place with golden streets

Although I would like our world to change 

It helps me to appreciate 

Those nights and those dreams

But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights 

If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same 

The only difference is 

To let love replace all our hate 

So let's go there 

Let's make our escape 

Come on, let's go there 

Let's ask can we stay? 

So lets go there, lets go there,

Come on, lets go there

Lets ask can we stay?

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine 

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine 

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see 

Can you take me Higher? 

To a place with golden streets

A special piece out of time

All that time, while I was busy, considering the fact that I have some responsibilities to take care of at home and office both, I kept on thinking that how can I extract some time for myself, for this blog, and for those who might read it one day. :)

The answer to that I found was, time wont come to me, and say "Hey, here I am, use me!!". 

WE HAVE TO EXTRACT A PIECE OUT OF THE DAY FOR US. FOR OTHERS.

It depends on us. We should do as much as we can. Being busy isn't bad. But being unable to find time for yourself, will effect you in the long run. Sometimes you need yourself. Sometimes you are needed by others around. Doing the routine work is routine. Doing something for others and for yourself, does not seems to be that important but it is as much as required as your daily stuff.

It seems difficult in the start - impossible  - But isn't. Mainly, the reason is lack of will ( if not the severity of the task that is keeping you busy). All I am insisting here is, whenever you can make time for yourself and others, do it. Make it happen. You won't know it until you would feel its effects, that how can your little attention can change the day for someone. 

Make a call, say a hi, post a message, do an email, or write a blog. There can be numerous ways. 

Just get out of your daily routine once in a while, do something special for yourself, or someone else. Even if it means, having a big bite of a chocolate bar. :)

My Asylum

Finally i have some time to put something up. This is something I wrote for myself, when life was letting me down, with every new trick in the book. Now I smile at those times. And this thing shows how I felt back then. But now this simple write up, helps me believe in myself. Here's the read.

My Asylum

Let us put our hands together,

raise ourselves higher forever,

breath in dangers, breath out life,

ditch the devil, have an angel by my side,

truth in my hands, falling through lies,

falling through darkness, through the blind skies,

seeking asylum in myself without deceiving my soul,

Just me and myself, lets rock and roll,

expectations, lead me to the ninth sky,

a perceived asylum, somewhere where wishes fly,

rule the life, live the nature, play with the fate,

defy the truths, deceive the treacherous rhythms it make,

cant ignore, it will always be there,

here in my heart, and there, and everywhere,

live, be happy, let it be, let it through,

everything isn't perfect, your asylum is in you,

its you, hey my mind, let us be friends,

stretch strong, beyond those limited ends,

waiting for you, there isn't any one else,

let us fly, just gonna be you, me and myself.
