Not A Surprise....

I have been amused by the Indian media. They cover(in all senses) and uncover pretty lot of important issues. While uncovering a very important issue which is the need of the hour with atleast ten minute updates with follow ups and debates to analyse the most important head ache of the country, this issue is rightly judged as a not so important news that it hardly manages to find a place in their websites. While there is very little to blame the media for giving the former very much importance than the latter as its been the practise for ages for,the only place where you can find "Education" having a priority over "Entertainment" in India is the English Dictionary and for these media barons "Paisa" finds more priority than the "People" for its why they're here,to reap in profits and that's what is termed Business.

As the tamil proverb goes,
"கற்றது கை மண் அளவு கல்லாதது உலகளவு"
The above is yet another case,many have passed and many are yet to come...

Life Comes a Full Circle?

The ongoing events make me nostalgic and often makes me wonder whether life often comes to a full circle from time to time. I couldn help but laugh at myself ,thinking about the popular punch dialogue in movies seemingly so identical to the state in which i am.

It goes like this,
"வாழ்க்கை ஒரு வட்டம்,
இன்னிக்கு மேலே இருப்பவன் நாளை கீழ இருப்பான்,
இன்னிக்கு கீழ இருப்பவன் நாளை மேலே இருப்பான்"

Memories of the past start to surface up and it often makes me think similar in lines to the theology that everything in this world follows a definite pattern. Whether to blame/complement myself having plenty of time but using it for this may/maybenot worthwhile self-analysis.

I find it very difficult to decipher the pattern of my life,if at all it existed. While,when i feel i have deciphered it a bit,another new one emerges out making my discoveries inconclusive. But the end result so far has been that, though at a point of time i believe the events do not follow the pattern,i've always been wrong and later realise that everything fits in place according to the pattern.

This applies for everything right from my childhood. Having hated mathematics until VII'th,later love it like hell only to be neutralised in my college days. Though i opened my account with an excellent score only to find it difficult to get through in the exams to follow,Thanks to "You Know Who".I neither hate nor am as mad as i was, but i still love numbers.

The same pattern applied to my career. I hated Computer Science to the core but later i found myself to love it to the extent to which i hated it. Falling in line with my pattern of life,now i find it being neutralised,though it doesn mean i hate it or rather love it but one thing is for sure, I am not as insane as i was earlier. It would have done justice if you had called me a Computer Maniac previously but not now,though i still love it as its become a part of my life .

Now that I have been at home for more than 5 months,a big break between the important transition in life.This is similar to the 5 month break i had when there was a transition from school to college.


While I was busy correlating it to myself,i realised pretty late that it applies to everything in this world.
1.The Indian stock market which was ignored few years back,to be celebrated for the past few years and now going through hard times only to recover soon.
2.The great Indian story which was neglected a few years back stating that it wasn possible even in wildest dreams to the present condition that "The Indian Growth Story is Invincible"
3.The Great Indian IT industry which was thought to be invincible only to fall to a rising Rupee as Goliath fell to David. But soon to recoup its lost glory......

This happens to me in all cases. Life coming to a full circle pretty often. But I'm Happy that so far it has been concentric in nature.
Each time it comes to a full cicle and the next one inscribed encloses whatever i have had so far and bringing in more with it but excluding nothing which i had so far. Bringing in more happiness,strengthening the existing one and everything moves around a common point.

Hope,This one also turns our to be a concentric one..!

Now,Thanks for those who have read this post.... Please answer to my question...

Guys, Is this enough to get a M.Phil or a Doctorate for me? Expecting your feedback.....
