Time flies off!

Its three weeks since I joined the new organization (TCS) and I’m just getting used to things here. I haven’t settled well here though. New environment and people, a different working style!

I still feel as if I’m just out of college and looks like its more than 3 years past that!

Time just flies off!

A new experience always brings in a change and something to learn…

I couldn’t ask for more now, as I have a new start and every new beginning brings in a new challenge and we just gotta get going….

Hope things go well as ever for its just not destiny, we choose our path to get there!

The spirit of my birthdays is coming down…. May be because I’m getting older by a year!

I felt it the most this b’day (yesterday).

 However, to get my spirits back, I always have a bunch of friends :)

Went for lunch with some of my friends since college… had a great time there!

Then in the evening to Skywalk with my other set of friends!

I had a wonderful time with them… seemed more like a reunion after a long time!

We spent sometime at McDonalds… and then shopped around.

A fresh bday once again :)

When strangers speak!

This is indeed something which has always been at the back of my mind!

How do strangers speak! …. Ok!

Let me phrase it this way… “How does one initiate a topic when they don’t know the other person?”

Yes… I understand we all know the definition of strangers and the above phrase was not to extrapolate that but to bring in an easier approach!

There was this incident which caught my eyes while traveling, 2 women (not sure if it happens only with woman) sitting beside, one with a kid, was discussing how naughty these days kids are and with all pride justifying that her son also falls in that category.

Their discussion went quite long that they forgot their station had arrived (Still, they got down just in time!)

How come?!!

I just wondered!

Even I travel along the same way everyday, but I don’t pick up a conversation with someone I don’t know and especially something personal!

We can’t talk on any other general topics (Avoiding small talk is always safer in public) for we don’t know the other’s likes and dislikes!

So? How do people?!

Or why is that I don’t speak?!

Is it that we’re apprehensive that the conversation might lead us to some kind of trouble?

Or that we’re educated and taught in our childhood “don’t speak with strangers!!”

Ehhh!!!

No idea!

When I was watching over this conversation, I could see some kind of comfort and like in their exchange! How come yaar!!! ??!

I dint ponder much on these thoughts then, but a smile was there on my face then J

So it is nice when we speak with someone new a day!

Or was it just because I was over hearing some talk ;)

Whatever it is, I’m still amused how strangers could speak so comfortably!

Someday “if” I experience something of this sort, hope I get an answer to this!

I’ll give a break now to this “strange” thought now!

Change!!!

There’s a saying which goes like… “The only thing which is permanent is change”
How true… I used to hate “the change”… as we have to tune ourselves in many ways and to get accustomed to that new “change” which is really hard!

But now, how ironic, I want a change…
A change from this mundane work and routine!

And I’m working towards it and hope to reach it sometime!

Change could also be a blessing in disguise, for we might end up achieving something more than expected or even dreamt of….

I have hence decided to enjoy and appreciate the little change also that I’m gonna encounter…

With the hope it would be a blessing

An experience!

Im all excited! My first ever shoot for a TV show!
‘Neeya Naana’ – A debate which is telecasted on Vijay TV.

The auditions were held in our office where we were asked to speak randomly on some topics. I got through the auditions and got a call from the team the next day.

The topic which I had to debate on was “is it correct to have more number of dresses and to be over conscious about it” and I was for the topic.
The shoot was held at Prasad studios at Vadapalani on the 24th of May.

The stage was set …. And the shoot was for over 5 hours!
This is my first ever appearance on TV and my first ever debate in Tamil…

The show went really well and I’m all excited about it!
I did get to speak and I’m happy about my contribution!
I must mention about the MC – Mr. Gopinath….

He carried the show really well and no doubt he is one of the best in his field!
He knows how to extract stuff from people at the same time not hurting anyone’s ego…

Indeed… it was a wonderful experience and I got to know how tough it was to get things look beautiful and easy on screen!

My Companion

Of late, there seems to be some kinda disturbance which keeps me preoccupied with myself! That is, in simple, I’m all alone…
It’s really bad to be so… but what more could one ask for during such time?
Yes… A companion… what kinda companion?

Something struck me today about my companion…. Something that keeps me busy, happy, always with me and never argues back!
Yes…Can you believe it…? I just do the listening but still there’s no argument going on.

Music!
Yes three cheers to the ones who have guessed it by now…

I’ve always had this great passion for music… (Don’t ask me… who doesn’t have).
During my travel or when I’m home feeling lonely, not sure what to do, I sit back and just enjoy my playlist!
Yes… my playlist has songs scored by A R Rahman to Yuvan Shankar Raja…

Music keeps us so much alive and is indeed the best companion…
And it can be tamed to your mood… that’s the best part about it...
I can’t even imagine a world without Music :D

Women's day

March 8th is celebrated as Women’s day throughout the world!
Women have come a long way to have kept aside a day for herself on the calendar.

We had a few celebrations at our office. Singing competition, fashion show and the winner would be titled too!

Women’s day was celebrated everywhere…
On the radio, television, office, anywhere you turn around, you could find the celebrations!

Women’s day has become eventful.
I guess the celebrations this year has been more than any other year before!

To add on to all this, the women’s bill (33% quota for women) has been passed in the Rajya Sabha...
What more a reason do we need to celebrate women’s day!

It’s not just for the ones who are going to be a part of parliament; it’s for all women who have gone through various phases in life and challenges!
I wish every woman in this world, a happy women’s day and may all be blessed with all success and happiness by thy almighty!
