Meaning of life

Loser

2011-05-10T21:40:00.003+05:30

People are doing business with soul

People are making money out of minds

People are gambling with relationships

If this is what life is, I don't want to live

If this is what death is, I don't want to die

At the end, I can't either live or die

I'm in the middle of everything doing nothing

I don't know this kind of business... I am a LOSER

We lose even when we have faith, hope, responsibleness...

and whatever it makes us deserve to win

because they are of no value in this business

We lose even when we have nothing

because we invest what we don't have

Am I talking about business... If needed, Yes!

We invest the future

And finally lose

Please understand me...

2009-04-28T16:17:00.004+05:30

Please understand me,
I am not a small boy,
I know something about the world;

Words from your heart like
'You don't know anything'
'You are good for nothing'
'Mind your business'
Hurts me more than anything;

Please understand me,
After all it's my business...
to take care of you and our family;

Please understand me,
I have solved many others' problems,
I have wiped out others' tears,
I have made others happy,
I have helped the needy;

Please understand me,
I want to make you happy,
I want to make you healthy,
I want to make you comfortable,
I want to make you enjoy the rest of your life;

Please understand me
I want you to discuss things with patience
I want you to look at my eyes
I want you to hear my heart
I want you to read between my lines

Let me try
Let me fail
Let me learn from my mistakes
Let me explore
Let me do things

Please understand me
I always respect you
I always admire at you
I always understand you
I always think about you

Please understand me
All I need is your encouragement
All I need is you kind words
All I need is your smile
All I need is your hug

Happy

2009-04-13T12:24:00.009+05:30

Hay.... I am happy.

Got a good news from one of my very very special people as she has got a job. There's no word to explain the feeling that appears when we get a job that we like. It is a result of true hard work and sincere prayer. Here is something special for both of us...

Friends play a vital role in supporting one another, giving hands in hard time.

"I'll lean on you and you lean on me and
we'll be all right"

Romantic ride!

2009-04-11T07:52:00.004+05:30

The day started with an interesting romance. I was riding my bike at a possibly high speed in national highways accompanied by my girl discussing about a friend. We enjoyed the freshness of morning air, the chillness due to the recent rain and the warmth of sitting close in the bike. But I wanted something more. Guessing my intention, she hugged me tightly and started kissing on my cheek. I noticed couple of lorry drivers starred at us. Who cares? In spite of some risky bends and sudden tilts, I managed to accelerate and the romance also continued. Disturbed by my beard, she stopped and said in a pleasing voice "This is why I ask you to shave regularly". We laughed at for a while.

I decided to shave at least today and woke up suddenly to know that I am just hugging my pillow and everything was a perfect dream. It was 6 in the morning. Looked at my face, found it 'not bad' and changed my decision. Of course, there is no one yet to be disturbed by my cute beard!

Unrefusable facts

2009-04-06T13:01:00.008+05:30

While browsing through my system folders, got an eye on a message in the SMS archives folders. Everyone might have read this somewhere but still, I want to share this:

Today we have bigger houses but small families
More degrees yet less common sense
Advanced medicines but poor health
Two income but more divorces
Touched Moon but no contact with our neighbors
High income yet less peace of mind
We have more experts but more problems
Once technology was for us but now we live for technology
Pizza reaches home faster than ambulance
The worst of all is people are to be loved and machines are to be used, but our situation is vice versa

Where am I?

2009-04-04T22:15:00.006+05:30

The moment I saw this pic (while searching for something) I loved it. Immediately I put this pic in my Orkut and changed my name as 'Where am I?' One of my friends scrapped me asking for the meaning of this pic. I could guess why he asked for. I said, "No comments". Couple of days later, I replaced the pic with my own, as I thought it would help promoting my blog.

A week back the same friend came online and chatted. Seeing my blog, he said "It would be better if you don't post any love failure messages in your blog". I asked him that who has failed. Without answering that question he talked about that Orkut pic. He said like, "You always do like this. You never answer my questions. You just confuse. You have changed the Orkut pic when I asked for the meaning". The baseline is he thought that I am expressing love failure through the pic as it is his inference from what he know. I didn't say anything but, "I will post the pic and the meaning in my blog".

The pic reads 'Where is my Love, Where is my Hope, Where is my reason to live'. I feel it more like a statement, than an interrogative. I have stated in an older post 'Reasons', that we always need reasons to live and emotional factors stand up first in keeping us alive. Emotions come out of a relationship. Sometimes emotions may form relationships. So here comes a statement - We are searching out for reasons which in turn lead to relationships and emotions. This is what the pic (or I try to) says.

Coming back to the so called 'love failure'... I don't know where does it come from. There is no need for such a term because 'Love never fails', only people fail. That too people do not fail in love, they fail in understanding love.

Now... if the friend I mentioned in the beginning reads this post, he will say, "You confuse me once again".

(P.S)

There is no market for your sorrows. So never advertise your feelings.

Azhagi stands for the meaning of Mr. Viswanathan's life

2009-03-28T23:01:00.012+05:30

I tried to type my first Tamil post using the transliteration option available for a blogger, but I was not much happy about it as I could not turn it on or off instantly when I was typing. Then I searched for Tamil typing tips or tricks that could satisfy me. I learned a lot about it during my search but nothing was upto my satisfaction as I could not understood anything completely till I reached www.azhagi.com. Everything about Tamil typing is there.

The software 'Azhagi' has all the things exactly what I wanted. It is extremely user friendly, has 3 different input methods of which one is to do tamil transliterations (phonetic keyboard). For example if we just need to type 'Ammaa' to get 'அம்மா'. We can directly type/transliterate tamil in webpages, mails and all of the windows applications. It can be turned on or off using a single hotkey. It has been years since it was introduced. I might have heard it but now only, being a blogger I got chance to explore it and realize its power.

A great work done by its author Mr. Viswanathan who says that Azhagi - the name symbolizes her wife Mrs. Meera Viswanathan's beautiful heart.

I was inspired by Azhagi's history. I also liked the following quote from that page.

"There never was, there never will be, nor is there now, a person who is wholly blamed or wholly praised."

My Earth Hour

2009-03-28T22:08:00.007+05:30

Thanks to WWF for organizing Earth Hour, I got my good own childhood days back.

I didn't have any plans till 7.30pm. Then I rushed my mom and helped her preparing the dinner and by 8.15pm itself we moved with all the things to our terrace. By 8.25pm I switched off all the lights. There is not much moonlight today as it is just the second day after a no moon day. Anyhow it was very interesting to spend that one hour with my mom having dinner and chatting with her. We talked a little about our environment, our mother earth, importance and uses of Earth Hour. Then she told me about her childhood days and how they managed to live without electricity in her native village. Then discussion went around some family issues and other things till 9.45pm.

It remembered my childhood days in our village (during summer holidays) having dinner in the open street under moon (நிலாச்சோறு) with all the family members and neighbours, hearing stories from grandma...

சில வரிகள்...

2009-03-27T19:32:00.005+05:30

நேற்று பயணித்த என் தோழியை புகை வண்டி நிலையத்தில் சந்திக்க சென்றிருந்தேன். ஒரு நிமிட சந்திப்பு முடிந்து வீடு திரும்புகையில் மனதில் தோன்றிய வரிகள்...

"தோல்விகள் தோன்றினாலும்
சோகங்கள் சூழ்ந்தாலும்
நட்பின் நிழலில் இளைப்பாறி
நம்பிக்கையின் பயணம் தொடரட்டும்
ஒரு வெற்றிச் சரித்திரம் படைக்க..."

Reasons

2009-03-27T12:15:00.010+05:30

We need or search for reasons to do something... what's there for living?... Thought about something odd (or common?) What do I do for my living is a different questions but what are the factors that keep me living/alive? - my breath, heart, lungs, my food, digestive system, immune system etc.... these are all important but as a group, biological factors stand second next only to the emotional factors. I always believe that science or any system at whatever stage cannot beat human emotions in the race.

Human - Homo sapiens - as a species is described as a social animal. (Check out 'Man the social animal') So as a human, as a social animal, I cannot live alone. I depend on some of the fellow humans and mere emotions to keep me running through my life. I would also say emotions are our driving force which comes out of a relationship (whatever it might be)

And now... my driving force comes out of two main groups - my family and friends. I consider only my parents (as I am single yet!) in the family group and few more special people in the friends group. I will talk more about them in the days ahead.

Got the title!

2009-03-26T22:52:00.005+05:30

I know very well that my blog is yet to gain it's second reader(s) (!'m the first :) coz.. I am just about to start promoting and invite my favorite faces.

It has been more than 15 days since I wrote my first post. I bet myself not to have such a long gap during the journey ahead. These days I was thinking of a better title for my blog. Finally I got the title during my travel in a local bus. It flashed in my mind when I saw a couple sitting in a seat beside mine. They were enjoying and in the whole bus with more than 30 people comprising of all age groups from both the genders, they two only had smiling faces and enjoyed the travel. Credits also go to some of the little boys and girls in their school uniform who took the bus in the next stop. They confirmed that I have selected the right topic for my blog and it is :

Meaning of life
everyone's life involves a journey towards understanding the meaning of life and the reasons to live

I don't want to take much space to explain my title, as it is familiar to every human being. This will be my personnel blog. Will include incidents, things, places, people... anything and everything (that i want to share) that I come across during my living moments (non-living moments?). I am sure that it will be a mixture of all the values of life.

I was talking about smiling faces and wanted to remember Raji, my friend. I admire at her 'always smiling' attitude. She is the last reason for me to stop just thinking about starting a blog and end up getting into some action.

(PS - I am new to writing and trying to improve at each ground. I will be glad to receive your comments on the content and layout of my blog)
