The Great Fall!


Humpty Dumpty sat on a Horse,
Humpty Dumpty had a Great Fall!

 Today was the ultimate day. Some may call it aar ya paar(now or never). Today 'Sniper' tried to snipe me. Luckily, he missed the bulls eye. :P

 No sooner do people start appreciating you and patting your back for being a good learner than the atom of pride shadows the real you and you try to deceive yourself by believing that, ‘Yes, I have done it!'. And then comes an eternal force slapping you hard on your face, making you realize your true strength, saying, "Dude, you're nothing in front of my power!"

 A Whip in your hand and the giant beast below you, you think you're the boss, and you try whipping him hard and the next second you're on the ground and that beast is above you. It happened in the blink of an eye.

 All praise be to that eternal power who is all merciful and who created us and that powerful beast. There is no way any human could have controlled what happened in that second. I believe every dedicated rider who thinks he has learnt all should experience that moment once, if he hasn't. It will clear all your doubts and bring you "Down to Earth" literally down to earth (lol).

 I would have walked out of the arena but it was the motivation from Naved, my coach, that made Sniper miss his bulls eye.

 This day I learnt a lot of things like making a horse listen to you, whipping is not the only way,
appreciating a horse, preventing a fall(but if you're destined to, you will :D), you can always improve through continuous learning but you can't be perfect, of-course you're not the boss :P and other lots of subconscious learning which even I don't know.

 And so this time,

 Humpty Dumpty sat on a Horse again. :P

Chennaiyaa... :D

When I came to Chennai and joined the company, I wasn't aware that I'll be in the city among aliens speaking alien language, or saying in a better way, I wasn't aware that I'll be an odd one out. Like every fresher joining a new company, I was doing the same, greeting everyone, smiling at an eye contact, trying to befriend people. Days passed, I was assigned to project, I made friends but still I felt disconnected. The reason was, everyone around me talked in the language Alien to me, i.e. 'Tamil'. The Technical discussion also usually happened in Tamil, they cracked jokes in Tamil, and also laughed in Tamil. :P When all this was happening, I felt an urge to learn Tamil. I started learning with some basic stuff like counting numbers, 1: Oru , 2: Randd , 3: moonre , 4: naal , 5: aanj , . . . 10: pattu , " Unga peru enna? "(What is your name?), "Evalavu? " (How Much?) and my favourite " Teri Yaad Tamil " which mea...

Tarbiyah - Process of attaining the Higher Purpose.

I've been reading lot of parenting stuff for my 2 yr old. I came across a terminology "Tarbiyah"(an Urdu word)couldn't find an exact English word. Though it has a very deep meaning in Urdu but to understand we can define it as Upbringing. Tarbiyah is a process of molding a person to be a better human being. It involves much more than just intellect, skills & knowledge. It involves a person's heart, emotions and his soul. Every sensible person clearly knows the difference between right & wrong, legal & illegal. A person not having a proper Tarbiyah though is aware, doesn't care how he execute work. His heart doesn't stops him from doing wrong, he never feels guilty, as time passes he enjoy playing mischief. A person can have excellent skills as a public speaker, a computer programmer, a doctor, a cop, a lawyer or even as a head of the country but if he fails to put his skills to right use, his Tarbiyah is not proper. Lets say, an eloquent public...

Cases of Divorce More in Educated and Affluent Families

Yesterday I read an article where a very famous Indian personality said "Education and Affluence lead to divorce". I don't at all agree with his statement. Knowledge is something that gives a human deep insights into this life and universe around. It gives human wisdom to understand and do things. With this statement of his it seems education to him and those who agree with him is limited to acquiring the material things of life. These are the people who gain so called 'technical education' so that they get a high paying job, a luxurious apartment/bungalow in a prime location of the city, a nice vacation once a year. These type of people keep relations with a person only if there is a material gain(money,power,position,beautiful wife/handsome husband) to them with that relationship. They break the relationship if they don't see any material gain. These people lack the education which is known as moral education which now a days has been removed as a subje...
