compassion today

I am certainly not a cynic but a borderline case anyway.:P i always complain humanity is dying. this one day i was returning from college by an over crowded slow bus when an old lady was feeling faint. i gave her some water on drinking which she got chest pain (swear the water was pure :P). the entire population of the bus got concerned. men immediately got down and rushed to get her some chocolates and the woman started fussing over. the conductor and driver wanted to take her to the hospital. i was really moved.
p.s - the lady refused help and created quite a stir.though thats a different issue.
moral - humanity does exist very much and all that people need are genuine cases to help.
more often than not people get wary as they get cheated so badly in today's situations.
i only hope more people come forward to contribute more to the nation at large
:D

just so

as every day crawls by or rather whizzes by, am left with a sense of emptiness strangely.one fine day you find yourself at the helm of things going smooth and the next you begin to wonder if anything could go right. starting from the incidents to the people around you. life is strange yet is a circle. i've had people leave my life at some point yet come back again. i sincerely hope i can say the same for people who are walking out right now, though how enthusiastic about life being a circle - god only knows.i find it strange that love takes a backseat today and other shallow thoughts are considered uber cool.priorities and considerations have become different and i wonder if beauty is really worth it when we start associating with people only based on looks.people are downright rude and selfish,mind you, am no jesus reincarnated either,but i cant stop wondering aloud, if it is all really worth it?relationships have taken a backseat when all that really matters in life is not the number of flings you have or the drugs you try or the number of cigars or bottles you empty, but how meaningful is life really. how happy are you with people and how many people are happy because of you.you affect one person's life for the good and your job here is done.value love, value friends, value life, value everything that god's given us,for all of us are just here for one second in god's time. have some meaning for life and dont live cos we are born. live for a purpose
peace :|

raavanan

okay, this is the first time i have gone to an over-hyped movie with a stellar cast on the very first day. it was an awesome experience to go out there and shout till your throat was hoarse for chiyaan vikram, a slightly old yet beautiful looking ash,prithviraj,prabhu and even karthik. undoubtedly the loudest cheer went to ranjitha :P but what promised to be a nail biting racer soon began to lose pace and should i say story. vikram was the life and soul of the movie carrying it on his shoulders and all the characters did justice to their characters. the cinematography was just awesome and we didnt even want to drink a coke in fear of finding our bladders full what with the rain on the screen in every frame being so realistic. the hours just whizzed by though it sagged in the middle and kind of got predictable.
but sure, i can watch it for vikram any time and any more times too in the future.
am now waiting to watch raavan in sathyam. company anybody ??? :P

life as you call it.

life is strange.sometimes it gives you moments that take your life away and some that literally pain you to death, and the best part, you never know when life's going to deal you what card. the optimist finds it awesome while the pessimist dampening,whereas majority of people like yours truly,who swing somewhere in the middle and brand ourselves practical,find it a lot of things ranging from exasperating to confusing to doomed to what next. i remember reading in someone's orkut profile that said, everyone is born and everyone dies, it is what you do in between, that counts".the minute i read it i was like "what the fish", but pondering over it, i can understand how true that is. there is not one of us for whom everything has been the way we dreamt of,heck i cant even dream of just one thing all the time. everyone of us face disappointments,broken hearts,failures at home,job,college,school and where ever we get involved with. but the difference lies in getting up every single compared to remaining on the ground. sure we all die, but how many of us leave our foot prints in the sands of time? no, am not talking about doing something big, am talking about making a difference to at-least one person in this world for the better. that makes life all the more worthy. i may goof up in a lot of things, and yes i would certainly feel like a failure, i might want to give up, but i know i will keep going on till i do something. people today decide your success by only certain parameters - job,money, education, eye candy life partner. is it really all that there is to life?
comments are welcome :)
till then... peace !!!

it takes just a moment

after 24 hours of fast paced high pressure drama India woke up to a little hope and then sorrow at the death of Andra pradesh chief minister YSR reddy. though my blog is not about him, at this juncture, lets offer our condolences for his soul to RIP.
the moment i heard about his death, there was just one thought that was filling up my mind. how life changes in not even a second, but a moment.
we have the tendency to keep thinking about the past or contemplating the future that many of us or rather all of us at some point or the other tend to forget to live the present.
this only results in a feeling of desires being unfulfilled, of low morale, of a feeling of disappointment and what not. we are adding more stress to the already stressful life of ours.
i get reminded of a saying
yesterday is history
tomorrow is mystery
today is reality
that's why its called the "present"
life doesn't give us second chances at anything and we should make sure we never have any worries about unfulfilled desires in life. who knows we may not even get time to reflect on how our lives have been at our death beds like YSR.
well, winding up, let us make each moment count in our lives without any hassles in doing what we want and love.
as some one rightly says, don't add years to your life , add life to those years.
what more could be so aptly said!!!
peace!

i'll be right here waiting for you - richard marx

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you

in the arms of the angel.

one of my favorite songs.

spend all your time waiting for that second chance
for the break that will make it ok
there's always some reason to feel not good enough
and its hard at the end of the day
i need some distraction or a beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty and weightless and maybe
ill find some peace tonight
in the arms of the angel far away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you feel
you are pulled form the wreckage of your silent reverie
you are in the arms of the angel,may you find some comfort here
so tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
the storm keeps me twisting you keep on building the lies
that make up for all that you lack
it done make no difference except one last time
its easier to believe
in this sweet madness oh this glorious sadness
that brings me on my knees
in the arms of the angel far away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessnes that you feel
you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
you are in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here
in the amrs of the angel may you find some comfort here
