WALL "Quoster"

When was the last time you saw a good quotation, or any quotation and tried to remember it later ? Well, for me it was two days ago when I walked into an office with a friend and saw this interesting look. The walls were posted with all sorts of motivational quotes. Some of them were pretty interesting. Some one surely had a great hand writing. From what I can remember and figure out after zooming 100% into this picture, here are a few gems...

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing! 


Great minds discuss ideas,
Average minds discuss events,
Small minds discuss people. 


Try everything, because the real 
secret of success and innovation is in
failing fast!


There are two ways to live life. One is as if nothing 
is a miracle and the other is, as if 
everything is a miracle...


Every job is a self portrait of the person who did it.


Dont let the littleness in others bring out the littleness in you.


If you know how to swim, it doesnt matter how deep the water is.


If you set the example, you wont need to set many rules..


BTW can you guess what kind of office is this.

Not Enough Time?....[Guest Post]

Its been exactly a year that I started the Guest Post feature on my blog when my friend Raju(who also got married last month..!!) sent me a nice photo of his car's odometer reading all sixes. Anyways, that was the first and this here is the second from our second guest Sathish Krishna. Sathish is a 3D animator and has worked in several films in the CG department. Now a days he is walking on the streets with a Canon 5D Mark II hanging around his neck. Check out his Flickr.
     I had a lot of instant thoughts when I saw this photo. The first two words that came up were Time Management. This is the one factor in my life that I have been chasing for as long as I can remember. Never had enough time for anything prospective or/and productive. Infact this factor alone drove me to start my first blog, Delayed On Time! which of course hasnt seen any updates since (lemme check, one second..).......... yeah, Jan 2011. No matter how "perfectly" we manage time, we still get attracted to books on the topic, articles in the paper, online posts etc. Time Management is and will remain an unsolved mystery. On a positive note think about this interesting line that I read somewhere recently..."A busy man will always have time for everything but a lazyman will never have time for anything."

PS: Lets continue the GP saga atleast once a month. You know what to do.

All in One.

Last week I went to my MOM's native place PARIGI. My uncle wanted to make a trip to the places that he walked as a child. So, apart from the final destination, we also visited a few other small villages nearby. He became very nostalgic and so did me and my cousins, though we dont recall having seen these places before. We stopped at a village called Aloor to see the Hanuman temple that my mama used to visit as a kid. After searching for a while and asking around we found it...completely remodeled from what my mama recalled. Just nearby the temple was a school which was even more surprising. Well, you can see why. Yeah, thats the whole of it. Its very sad to see the conditions of schools in villages if at all there is one. All we could do was to just laugh it off. In fact most of us would, what a shame! We could have done something, at least for the single reason that the village belonged to our parents. But, NO! Who would take additional responsibilities when all the burdens are already on our shoulders or (on a second thought) are they? Really, r e a l l y think about it once.
     On a lighter note, next time you face some one spelling M I D I U M, he might as well be from ALOOR.

Me Two...

At last. I think the best shot I ever took. Hanging from the railing, balancing my camera on one hand and trying to click with the other, it was a long wait before I could take a few shots and only one turned out to be postable. I have been watching the bird and its nest for a few days now and only today I heard the kids. We watch NGC, Discovery and Animal Planet for about a few minutes or hours (if you are me) and without a moment's thought about how they made those programs we click back to our regular soaps, gossips, nuisance I mean news etc.  Little do we notice what the people behind those programs had to go through to get it. Well for one thing they had to wait, for hours, days, weeks and sometimes months. Remember, "Everything comes to those who wait". However some people get lucky on just a regular tourist safari, like Jason here. Amazing how nature unveils its colors.

PS: Another great channel that I discovered lately is Discovery Science (with the "Sc" logo). Best way to spend time for TV. Check it out.

Thundering Stones

My first train journey was in 2003 (though my MOM claims it was when I was 3) when me and my gang decided to make a trip somewhere and none had any experience. So the safest bet was Tirupati. That trip was very memorable especially to the end when we were saved from a major accident. Details coming soon, stay tuned. Anyways, from then on I made several train journeys and almost all of them passed through a town called Piduguralla. I used to wonder what on earth happens in a place that means thundering stones. Last week I boarded a train and my destination was Piduguralla. My friend Venu who's from that place got married (damn!! all of them are getting hitched this year) and I finally visited this passing town. I did not get much time in exploring the well known lime stone mines but had a great time at the wedding. The most memorable was ofcourse the first time General Compartment experience, on both ways for different reasons.

PS: Almost forgot, this one was at the station PGRL while waiting for the Janmabhoomi Express!
