MAKTUB - Everything happens for our Own Good

Oh.. yes. This post is being made after years. I even observed many of the bloggers don’t blog nowadays – may be Twitter, Facebook has taken its place. At times can’t avoid :D 

But here I am back with my thoughts to pen..

I BELIEVE VERY MUCH WITH THIS VERY WORD “MAKTUB” .. ohh .. did you hear that.. yes it is 'MAKTUB'.. I had got a chance to read the book ‘The Alchemist’ years back. Though I don’t remember the story plot completely, I can clearly remember how the word ‘Maktub’ has been carried all along the story line. 

V keeps saying one quote from Bhagavat Gita ‘Everything happens for your own good’ .. very much true. 

Let me tell you one incident which allowed me to strongly believe on this.

Me and my friend (Indu) were going for shopping in her bike and in a traffic signal she showed me some building and was reading out the name of that building. I was like ‘why are you telling this to me, is it some famous building/landmark?” and she was like ‘no, simply showed you.. just for no reason’ and I was wondering ‘you gone crazy!’ :D

The next day I & V wanted to go to the very same shop to buy few stuffs. I couldn’t recollect the route that Indu had taken me :( we were in the very same busy signal confused on which route to take and where horns yell at us. I was desperately looking all around to find some clues. Green lights are ON.. Ghosh! MAKTUB!! I shouted at V “Here is the same building.. go straight” 

This made me to think

What if Indu didn’t show (just for no reason) me that building the before day? There could had been an entirely different story like the way it happened in the film 12B.

May be something like this might have happened to Director Jeeva which made him to direct a film like 12B.

And just imagine how much this incident should have affected for the reason that I am doing a blog post after years. 

MAKTUB!

PS: MAKTUB in Arabic means ‘It was Written’.

Your Partner - someone to make you feel good about yourself

I have been reading the RD book for quite sometime now. Recently I came across an interesting topic on “maintaining long lasting partnership”. As the word divorce is becoming more common in India too I thought I can just write my thoughts & views and know what my blog readers feel about it.

The article topic is how to choose a partner for long lasting relationship. After seeing this question I tried answering myself. As a typical Indian girl, rather typical south Indian girl my points were 1. caring you 2. allow you to be independent. 3. encourage your passion etc., oh.. yes you can even add 4. getting everything you want 5. taking to theaters once in a week 6. taking to some getaways once in a month ;-) ok enough giggles!

I was really surprised to see one point insisted in that article “a person who makes you feel good about yourself” . WELL SAID. Isn’t?? will you not be happy with someone who always makes you feel happy on everything you do, who appreciates the way you are, the way you do things, your social activities etc.,.

But of course you may/will get negative feedback too, but still when he/she makes you feel good about yourself most of the time you both can lead a happier life for ever.

Aggressiveness

It feels good to know that there are few visitors who actually liked my blog comes to visit my web log and ask me “why no posts?”.

No, am not ready to say that I was quite busy with my work. It’s all because I had less mood to write on any topic. At some point I didn’t want to post though the post was ready in my local system. It is an odd feeling… and I didn’t want to write on any topic just for the sake of posting.

Now let me get on to some interesting things. I would like to know your comments on my statement - Aggressiveness makes people to take blind/furious decisions. What are your thoughts??.. come on… its going to be an interactive post…

Face Blindness - Face Recognition Problems

Imagine how will a child aged 14 years will face his day-to-day life if he has this Face blindness problems i.e., he can’t recognize any faces, even if they are his loved ones, or celebrities. Got a chance to watch this video on Face Blindness.

Where are we(world) heading to?

Internet & EMails in Life

“Want to send gift to my friend through rediff”
“Did you mail the updates to your TL?”
“Remind me to pay credit card bill through net today”
“my friend Anitha mailed me today, she is in Norway it seems”
….

You would be hearing such dialogues in your day-to-day life, especially if are in IT industry. Did you ever imagined such a world some 12 years back?. I would say “not at all”, the word “Boom” best fits here : )

Nowadays I rely on Internet on many things. Some days back while I was looking at sky I got doubt on what is difference between mist & fog and thought “tomorrow should Google with this”. I am not sure I would have gone to some library to find on this, if WWW doesn’t exist. See how WWW has changed us. And now we are in a world where you can get everything on your desk.

Emails in my life

I have been using emails

To say hi.. miss you.. and similar messages to my brother..
To send resumes during my job search
Stay connected with friends abroad
….

Suddenly got reminded of a credit card Ad

“There are Some Things Money Can't Buy. For Everything Else, there's Mastercard...” :)

Pi (Pie) in Trignometry

Did you ever know why do we use 3.14 for the value of pie π in calculating area, circumference of circle ? Trust me till yesterday I didn’t know it. Today I was just surfing on topic “Indian Mathematician” (he.. he.. little more interested with Maths, though not like Jyothika in Kakka Kakka .. M.sc., Maths IIT)

Thanks a lot to Wikipedia from where am learning more and more (obviously improving my knowledge level). An interesting fact about Wikipedia is about its related topics. For instance when you read something related to India you can find to links “Taj Mahal”, “Hinduism” “Sanskrit” and many such things related to India, which helps in easy reading and better understanding.

Back to pie π value I never thought Trignometry has these much stuffs behind the Pie value. With help of wikipedia and www.themathpage.com I learned a lot on this.. .. (pie value evaluation) Isoceles triangle, ½ Sin ǿ, chord, adjacent side… everything with trigonometry. I was thinking if we were taught in this way in schools no one would say “oops Trigonometry.. that’s the one I hate yaar..” Themathpage is great website for all, very clearly explained on theorems, calculations, equations.. so now I can say why do we use π value in calculating circumference and area of square with which many other formulas are derived.

hmm.. I too can blog on subject related topics.. :)

Ego in Marriage life

I have been wondering why people say they have a bitter experience after getting married, especially after “Love Marriage”. Is it because of the “Expectations not met” or is it the result of “untrue love”?

Guys always enjoy the song “September Madham..” from Alaipayuthey. Though it says about problems in “Love Marriage” maily about Ego clashes, Mani Ratnam has clearly explained the power of true love in that film. I especially like the dialogue said by Madhavan’s house owner “Vittu kudukanum paa. Vittu kudukanum..” which will help for peaceful & happy life (not only for “Love marriage”)

So what I mean to say is “No Ego.. No worries”

September Madham and October Madham...

my next post will be about the song "September madham" from Alaipayuthey

How many MASKs do you have at home??

Yoga
Children
Traffic
Marriage

All these topics came up when I thought of blogging. But I wanted to write about MASK. Am I saying about the film MASK.. may be!!!…

The film Mugam by Nasar will clearly elaborate on the topic am about to write. It is such a good film that everyone should watch to know and realise where we are heading to. Its not so easy for people to be themselves at all places. It is quite natural and we start wearing MASK (cover ourselves and show untruth face). As the days goes we end with several number of masks one at office, one at home, and one with neighbors and finally we lose our own identity. And the question who am I actually arises. Are we here just to wear all these Mask, hide ourselves?? At some instance you find people liking YOU WITH YOUR MASK and not the ACTUAL YOU..

So how many MASKs do you have at your home??
