My reactions to reactions

1. What is the basic purpose of you operating this blog?Ans: I love sounding off.

2. By writing on God, you have shown yourself to be nothing but an empty soul.Ans: Ok Mr.Full Soul, next time you go to a temple register a complaint on me. Also try and visit me in hell on your way to heaven.

3. Aren’t you thankful to the audiences when they make your moves successful?Ans: On the contrary they should thank me if they like my movies the same way they would want to kick me if they didn’t.

4. What will be your reaction when you put in lot of hard work and it doesn’t give result?Ans: I never work, let alone work hard. I enjoy everything every moment. Work is something I define as having to do whereas wanting to do it is to enjoy. The result of your work is never in your control and whatever is not in my control I don’t waste my time, thoughts and energy on it.

God save me from Helping!!!!!

Hesitation and help are words which is particular as well as sensitive.
We often have friends who in the name of help seek lot of favours
Now i am often confused whether i should consider it as favour or help
There is a thin wafer between exploitation and seeking help
I often find people especially girls who dump immediately what they have in thier head to others...
immediately after they hear or experience something they just search for people to dump it....
Its really traumatic to hear insignificant and silly things.....
Its almost like a live telecast of a daily experiences...
all this at the cost of professional work....
I would appreciate if there is a give and take in it....
I often hesitate to say 'No' to anybody who asks for help
The only reason being hesitation and also a want to keep this 'helping attitude' alive in human beings
If we observe the evolution ...the aspect of species which remained unused becomes extinct
And with the existing circumstances in the world ...i guess people have turned extremely selfish
They dont leave a space for the others to tell thier issues
Always they are ready to tell thier probs.....
Gone are the days where people offer help to others....i want to keep this alive
But finally the net result is that i am landing up hearing and helping too many things which are above my capacity and my memory often becomes full
Now i dont tell its problem with others...
Its problem with me that i am unable to deal with such situations
And i donot know how to avoid them...
Another big problem i have is....immediately i hear a problem...my mind automatically goes into solution mode...and searches for solutions...and i start giving suggestions and solutions
And here the opposite person is not ready to hear any solutions and especially when the solution needs them to change...
So what am i for ...just listener ...a dust bin ... a garbage collector.....
and even if they hear solutions why should i offer solution always
dont they think ...cant they manage thier simple life......
leave alone helping others ...i guess its waste to be not in a position to manage ones life....
thats a crime to the society ....being mentally dependant on others for each and every problem they face in life......
I read some where ....Men would rather die than to think...
I should change myself ...should be indifferent to the problems and not be so sincere...
i may landup in trouble......hearing and hearing problems.....am i being selfish..donno...
let me try

Born to me?!!!

The other day my son was doing a mischief when i asked him to stop that...

The answer he gave me was 'my wish'

Then i thought intelligetly and answered back to him
'As i gave birth to you it is my wish and not yours'
Swift came his reply'I have taken birth in you so it is my wish'

I was both amused and suprised and enlightened...Amused due to his wit and suprised due to his logic...and enlightened for the answer ....

In movies and in life in general we often think that we have given birth to kids and hence they should listen to us and obey us......

Is it that we have given birth to them .....or is it that 'they' have taken birth....we tend to think that without us they are not there and each and every cell of them belongs to us...Is it really true......

I guess they are born 'through' us and not 'by' us.What i mean by this is we are only channels for making them step on this earth and we should not beleieve or think that we possess whole and sole rights on them and insist that they need to obey us ....as we gave birth to them

....But again if we dont possess them then why the responsibilities....Not sure of it

....but as medium for thier birth we owe to them few things and they are our responsibilities...Here i am not talking abt dharma or indian culture...

Even if we talk about Hindu DharmaOur duty probably lies in given birth to a soul on earth....and trying to make thier life smoother.....
They say soul searches for a proper womb and takes birth....
May be that is the reason why inspite of trying hard some people does give birth.....

School of mischief

The other day i was telling to my kid that i will join him in a school where there are no studies

but the only thing they need to do is play and be mischievous

Really how happy the kids would be ..playing..throwing mud....hitting.....eating chocolates......hitting each other.......crying..complaining.....

In india and in AP especially i donot think the current schools are depriving kids of the happiness they deserve in thier childhood

...homework competition exams IITS EAMCETs ...ohGranted that they passed those exams and became successful in life ....success here means money

But would they get the happiness and silliness they lost....Will they feel that they have led life fullest.....i doubt.....But again with those sacrifices may be country is built...thats a different story

my home

My new home is what i am looking forward to

whenever i see it i feel every inch and every bit of the house..

The process of building ....people involved with it and the hiccups with them

whenever i come across buildings on the road or on TV i examine or think of any good thing in it

which can be implemented in my new home.

sense of feeling that its yours ...i guess brings such a calmness and ownership to your mind...

by the way i know calmness and ownership cannot go hand in hand,...

but thats ok.....there is nothing on earth which does not have probs....
