' Fake It To Make It'
Long title for a short story (lol)
Thinking of it; It's so true.
I don't think there is need for any researched stats for this one.. You can see it everywhere; so evident that it has become a part of dealing with everyday life. So much that if you don't embrace this one with a smile then you would be typecasted. And what's even more challenging is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else. And precisely it is a challenge or a problem I am currently facing.
So, what do you do??
Hmmm... A very good question for myself...
Well what can I do but Njoy watching it all around; in all the different ways things are being demonstrated and rise to the challenge rather than letting it get you down.

Aie - This is for U
You are a very lucky and a gifted woman as the ultimatum reached you so well packaged. And I never ever had a passing thought that I was supposed to present this one to you....
I was the only privileged one who had all the liberty in the world to go through your stuff. What amazes me is that all the things you’ve collected over a life time helped me learn a lot more of you; even more than when you were around. They all spoke to me in volumes.
Suddenly after you, I was only realizing the differences in words and behavior of the people around. Very few times I rebelled while the most of it was trying to be understood. And in this course I had taken to numbness for a while.
Tossing and pondering over so many mind raised questions, finnaly I questioned myself of how important are these peopling to me.The answer was obvious! With this realization I knew that some of your genes passed on to me are now activated.
I had never appreciated some facets while you were here. But gone by; I have known the reason for you to be so. You have thought me a lesson for a life time. No matter how people are in this worldly world, I’m glad that you do not have a family like them.
Thank you for all those lovely genes I inherit from you.
Love You!
Yours Avvi

Hospital
Can't really understand how I should structure this one as my thoughts are just pouring out randomly through my fingers; so fast that my typing skills are not matching its speed.
Well, let me try and make some sense here with a short note. How many of us have been to see a doctor in big hospitals? What do you like in a hospital where you go to find the state of one self? How do you like to be treated? Alright Alright, let me not get into stating obvious things.
So here's one of the big hospital I recently went to and here is my list of complaints. This time I will not hesitate to state the obvious: The amount of land and the built in area it owns is awesome, what’s even more amazing is the lovely gardens’ and the fountains it showcases. Yup showcases, I couldn’t find a better word than this which demonstrates the capacity at which the hospitality is rendered. I cannot help but compare this hospital to any person that beautifies one's outer self by marketing with good dressing but whose thinking patterns are cheaper than rotten tomatoes.
Firstly, the lift.. It's so awful to see the patients waiting so patiently for their turn to get into the lift where only one out of three cars work and rarely two out of three. And the most interesting part is that if you choose to walk up, the doors to the stairs are locked. I’m truly amazed with the creative ideas people and institutes come up with to make life as inconvenient as possible to the people there.
The amazing private and super private rooms, those are only for the people who have enough in their pockets to spend lavishly for a medical treatment and definitely a known name makes a big difference. Ah! Amongst many more hurdles caused the only thing I look forward to, is the floral decoration that is changed every morning.
And where does all the room rent I pay go? What percentage to who’s pocket?
Well, this institute is like a political weather cock, that not only moves in the direction of the political wave but also emphasis to influence their hidden agenda on the students to exercise their democratic right to vote in this direction of the wind. If this basic right is being dictated, I’m sure there is much more to the administration than what meets the eye.
Ha! Does this all sound loosely cryptic? Maybe not, however this was just one experience with one of the so called big hospital and I'm sure there are many more to make their entry to this list and top the chart.
I don't blame any headers of such places but the people; who let them have the place they are in. Like many other root causes of issues, this also follows the bandwagon of the reasons that demonstrates the human's love for oneself that stands higher than the larger cause.
Well I have a long running list of complaints but I'm realizing that I am already getting bored to write my mind out about this place. I know it’s not going to lead to any good way except a lesson to myself that if I were to be in a position to execute a job like this I will need to have the basic facility maintained and have a transparent administration without loosing the focus of the purpose the body I work for.

My Date with IT
June 23, 2009 the day I started blogging; little did I realize that six years back the same day I had my first date with the IT Profession until an ex colleague congratulated me. Oh Boy! 6 years in IT and I’m still here :)
With every passing year I have had my own share of cribbing, about so many things here. Now, how many times have I not seriously given it a thought to quit my job…but look at me I’m still hanging in here!
Six years ago, in my mind it seemed to me that I could achieve it all, as I was trying to dictate ‘terms and conditions’ to my life, but, with every single failure my dreams that were larger than life seemed to diminish rapidly to the size of a caterpillar. With change and experience being the only constant thing, the larva that experienced a reverse life cycle has slowly emerged out as a colorful butterfly!
Hmm ... as I write this, I feel, as if I’m recollecting my previous life experiences with a great deal of new dimensions.
Though it's been this long, I’m still discovering and rediscovering my niche. Six years are gone by here la and my date with IT is still on!

Scattered Thoughts
As I go through some old books of mine, I find scraps of experiences penned , bits and pieces of my thoughts written in various places, pieces of papers between books with my scribbled thoughts....When I try to recollect what I was thinking while writing those pieces I have always failed.. Was it an answer to a question that I've now forgotten.. What was the question? Was it important? Or was it an idea that I was meant to work on later? A plan perhaps? Or a reminder to myself? Or just plain insight? Seems like a strange case of knowing the answer but not knowing what the question was! So, here I am with the thought that, blogging will help me have all my scattered thoughts streamlined in a single place...
How I wish blogging was ‘In’ from the time I started " Thinking " ......I would have been able to re-live all my thoughts.... and through the thought process of my Life with the world I live in..
Hope you enjoy reading!
