The title comes from the despair prevalent in all my written creations. It represents the dreams of a common man which seldom becomes a reality and the bottom of Ocean is their ultimate destination after getting sunk under the heavy load of expectations and responsibilities.

Townhall meeting at office
Yesterday attended the town hall meet in my new company.
There is a very nice concept of management meeting the employees and get to talk to them, clearing there doubts if any and at the same time conveying what upper management have been busy doing this month.
I have already attended on town hall last month and pretty liked the idea but Yesterday's was an important one as our CEO is in India for a couple of days and he addressed the employees in this town hall. He wanted to talk about various things that he and his team have been doing for the last few months and was explaining the clintele and the business model. He had also invited some old timers from the company and they shared their experiences with the company and the CEO in person. The way this company was started and reached to this level.
You always get to know new things when listening to such learned and experienced people. Ceo was mostly talking about accountability and was relating each and every answer to the questions he was asked to it. There was one speaker who was talking about the drastic environmental change and pressure an employe faces while moving from a typical service based company to a product development company. He himself had been thru this stage some time back. He brought up a new idea that every such employee has to go thru a process of Learn, Unlearn and Relearn. First a person learns the culture of his first organisation and then when he moves on he has to unlearn those things and relearn what is required by the new organisation. He put forward a beautiful thought by someone "Knowledge is obstacle to knowledge".
One of the speakers (Prabhu) very boldly shared his thinking that why do we always talk about our successes and not failures. Its good to be excited about successes but we have to keep in mind our failures all the time as one learns from his failures more than successes. One of the speakers mentioned the classic example of Thomas Elva Edison. He failed 999 times before inventing the bulb and when some one asked him what he has to say about this, he said "I know 999 ways not to make a bulb".
There were more speakers who brought really innovative ideas and shared some really touchy as well as leaning experiences but its not possible to mention each one of them here but it was really nice to hear our top management and they wdirection the organisation is heading to. The employees at the grassroot level like me gets the real motivation by what their management and most importantly their CEO thinks about them and his vision for the organisation.

It has been really hard for me to change my place of living always whether it was the change of city or the house and now change of workplace too. Some might consider me a man of weak heart but I can’t help it. I can’t help my emotions coming out. But I often wonder that atleast I have the power to juice out my emotions in words and relieve myself of the emotional overload but what about those who are crippled of words. This might be rude but there are people who can’t express their feelings in words to relieve them of the pain bore by their hearts. I just wish if everyone could pen down his feelings well and get free from the emotional burden they carry on their weak mental shoulders. There are People who are tough physically but are too weak at heart and just break down at times of heavy emotional stress. I wish they could convert their feelings into words which get the shape of some really nice creations.

emotional over flow...
I know its been long since i wrote anything for this blog but these days have been really intriguing which have made me live more life out of these days.I have seen much more emotions of life in the past few days than the entire last year.It was some really happy moments for me professionally where i proved my worth and some human emotions which touched me to the core of my heart.Some which tore the heart to the core.
I wonder how some people get so close to you and find themselves too bound to you which you never realized untill you get a real display of their emotions in some weak moment when they break down. I feel so selfish in writing these lines because explaning such deep emotions in these simple words is being unfair to the emotions itself. So i was just wondering in the world of this criss crossed human emotions when this mother of all mis happenings occurred. My home land getting torned by some ruthless display of the anti humanism. The public display of the hatred some people bore in their hearts resulting in the social crime lessening the belief on the humanism.

I have always disliked the public display of intense feeling whether love or hatred and after looking at some thing like this, i am sure any stoned heart would melt. A handful of youngsters claiming to be working for a holy cause who are actually mis leaded and brainwashed by the enemies of peace and humanity.
Water in the eyes
evaporated by the fire
burning the body,
humanity on the pyre
and the folk around.
May those who left, rest in peace. Amen !!

life these days...

Alas...atlast
Hi guys, I wrote this poem on the last day of our college, i.e. 15th June 2006. The day we said adieu to the place where our dreams came into existence and we nurtured them to this day... when we all will go in different directions to fulfill our long preserved dreams.At last …
The day has come …
The day to depart
The day to leave apart
Leaving memories behind
Keeping all pleasures aside…
All mischief that used to be in mind
The day has come
To leave that all behind …
The day to sew all memories with a new thread
The day to have new things in lead …
Time has taken a new route …
And with that , our life too .
From now on
We‘ll be starting our new lives
The life in which we are in lead
And no one to proceed…
A subtle sadness in the aroma
Putting new characters in the drama (of life)
Or new names to the old panorama.
Too heavy are these words
But lighter than
The feelings that we bore
in our hearts…
We left the place where we spent sleep less days ( no naps) in the classes and spent more time in the canteen and hostel than classes. I really miss those days n friends...
miss you guys...

I 'll keep this as my personal blog and and to publish my works on the contemporary issues. I will have another one for the literary creations. In fact I have already created it some time back and spending some good time maintaining it.
