Learning the Art of Living

After having worked for great companies that shower innumerable opportunities that can change the world for better, I realize that life is a game and everyone give their best and put in all their efforts and passion into whatever they do. (No matter what they choose to do)
Some leave for good.
Some stay for good.
Some do nothing for good.

In Praise of Idleness

I second your thoughts when you say those words.........although whats worrying is that 'Some do nothing for good'.....they just leave themselves in the hands of the other to decide and choose/frame their destiny.

Well....keep writing.....I am closely following this page :)

Well... I could not avoid these set of people. Well, if they still have a choice to do nothing, then you don't call it destiny... it is free will. What comes out of nothing, that is left for the person to explore. And besides this... They might find it challenging to face the unknown... It may sound ideal... But I am sure you will find such people in this world.(Atleast in India no offence)

I think it this way... and it is possible to understand this if you have a flair for abstraction which I am sure you do....

Nothing is synonymous to nil, null, void, empty, zero....

Nothing has something to do in this world.
Imagine the world without "zero"!!!!

So I am exploring more of "The Art of Doing Nothing"

“So now we are going to investigate ourselves together...a journey of discovery into the most secret corners of our minds. And to take such a journey we must travel light; we cannot be burdened with opinions, prejudices, and conclusions. ...Forget all you know about yourself; forget all you have ever thought about yourself; we are going to start as if we knew nothing.”

AVADHANAM

One can always visit wikipedia and find out more about Indian more specifically the Telugu cultural program Avadhanam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avadhanam I recently attended this program given by Dr. Garikipati Narasimha Rao and I was totally engrossed in the evening delight that ran for more than 3 1/2 hour s. This Ashtavadhanam had 8 Pruchhakas , 8, all well read pandits cross firing the expert. There are four rounds of questioning done by the prucchakas and the answers to questions are all in poetic language. As he started, I could not follow the meaning of the entire verse, but to my relief, he explained the verses with such details that even a layman could follow and learn from it. He not only answered the questions beautifully but they were also filled with ideas, knowledge from the vedas and the mythological stories, his own life experiences, and last but never the least his timing of humor was incredible. The eight pru...

Yawn… Yawn…Yawn...

Yawning at all inappropriate times!!! Is yawning considered a sign of boredom? Does it happen out of exhaustion? I am not sure, but yawning in the class is something I cannot resist. Sometimes it happens and the guy at the far end smiles with sympathetic eyes, probably thinking I am sleep deprived. Other occasions, my bench mate and I enjoy it with almost silent giggles. We proudly take turns yawning. Then there are those unfriendly looks from students saying, "Why don't you concentrate in the class?" I admire those who yawn in the class without much botheration and think it is some kind of class activity. While some classes are very interactive, I seldom speak in other classes. Proven to be contagious by psychological theories, it is good to see your fellow class mates yawning. The most inappropriate time is when the instructor catches you yawning and the most hilarious moment is when you catch your instructor yawning. I thank them for being a source of inspiratio...

An Ode to Bloggers

Your musings or soulful depictions Short melodies and science fictions Element of love in your verse Or thoughtless question that's terse I owe this ode to BWG Your endless swearing or equations Some videos amidst the chaos Some puzzles and some reviews A different view that sizzles I owe this ode to Mitti and Sarsiz Your ramblings and signboards, Offerings striking all right chords With a unique sophisticated diction Abstract thoughts told with conviction I owe this ode to Sleepyface, Njugu and The Freak. (Guys N Gals: Hope you like it)
