Proffessional Blogger :D

After a long time again...... :)

I'm smiling a lot... reason being i've customised my blog site for the first time after i started blogging. Always used to wonder how come people have got so much of time to customize their blog page. Now i know the secret behind it. Creativity has got no limits. This applies to both - the blogger as well as blog site developers. The blog site has got so much to offer for our varying taste and demand. Only thing is that we bloggers need to have enough time to utilise them. Well finally i managed that ;)....

i always feel that creativity creates a pressure. Take a simple example -Titan watch's design development center. You got creativity, you join there. But how far your creativity will work? At certain point of time, your ideas will drain. What next?? Nature's law of permanency - "Nothing is permanent in life ". Got to move on. There is no answer.

Today the creative me wanted to do this long pending task of redesigning the web page which describes me in the www forum. I never believe in Orkut or its rival FB. It only helps to keep in touch with even your unwanted friends. But never lets you express yourself completely. Of recently, they have been largely used for conveying about your big achievements more than anything else. "XXXX now enjoying in London", "YYY having New year blast". Fine, agreed that you are having blast or you are at some corner of world, but why publish that?? And there are his so called fans or friends who want to comment on that. More out of jealousy than true admiration or friendshipness.( Remember the reaction of Farhan and Raju after finding out that Rancho is first sem topper in 3I??)
Today evening again i made a frustrated attempt to realise my dreams of owning a house in Blore. SBI's Home Loan exhibition was truly good. But i'm very urgent in realising my dream i guess. Need to wait still more i feel.
This week there is going to be a chance of me becoming a white paper presenter if Creative team junta in my project feels i've it in me. Presented a abstract already. Keeping fingers crossed.

during a lunch break in office

a quick blog

Never thought that i would see this in my life. I was waiting for lift to go to cafe for lunch in office. One new joiner girl(damn innocent) came to me and asked a doubt related to her work. i immediately came to know she has commited a mistake. But knowing her nature, i tuk care not to let her know that. But my reply made her realise she has done mistake. Her eyes turned from white to red and then became moist. She couldnt speak and nor did i. I was so aghast. It tuk few secs for me to realise whether such innocent ppl will be there.

I pray to god to make that girl strong enough to deal with this bad corporate world. God please give her all the strength, will power and knowledge to deal with this world.

Unconcious and concious part of brain

Needless to say that after another long gap this blog is being written by me.

I was explaining one of the concept of accountancy to my friend cum colleague in office. The subject is part of JAIIB exam. Since it was long gap after I passed the exam, I had to go thru that chapter and then explain her about it. We chose a conference room to discuss on the subject.

While explaining, I was telling the things which I never realized that I know. I mean I was explaining in a very simple manner. When I read it alone, I never conceptualized it like that. But to explain it, I was telling in that manner. It indeed helped me to realize how beneficial it would be if you share your knowledge. I think when we understand something, the unconscious part of our brain would grasp the concept. When we want to get answer to something related to that part, an action gets triggered from conscious part of the brain which invokes and gets the answer from the unconscious part. What lies in that unconscious part will not be known to us till we discuss or interact with someone about it and speak on that. The key to that understanding would come out then. Indeed god’s creation is so complex!!.

Last few days was devastating for the people of N.Karnataka, & AP. The floods created havoc in the region. 11 districts got affected in Kar and the loss is estimated to be 20k Crores! It was very sad to see people climbing on whatever they could to save their life. The sadest thing of all was that even Mantralayam was flooded. Swamiji was being airlifted from there to Raichur. It was really horrible. When I type this, I tend not to write much of the sufferings people faced. The reason being that I cannot console myself. My ma watched a documentary today in local news channel in which they told that Brindavan in Mantralayam was not affected by the floods! A real miracle. I was really damn happy when I heard that. What made me happier was the generousness that people of Bangalore and corporate are showing. The CM of Kar was able to collect 100 Crores in a single day by doing padayatra. Hope he will do more such padayatras to collect more funds as he announced. Let me not get into politics that central Govt is playing with our state. It is indeed cheap to see people taking advantage of even situations like these. As always I pray to the god to teach the guilty the lesson and also help the victims of Natural calamity.

Going to bed now. Good Night.

Don’t know why, from last few days I am getting a feeling that I will be rolled off from my current project. What is the reason, why I’ve started feeling like this, I realy don’t know. But somewhere in my mind I am feeling this frm last couple of days. Time will only have the answer and I’ve no other option but to wait and watch.

Feeling very bad that I will not be able to attend the marriage function of Seshu – my mentor. Let me try my level best by asking sandeep to come with me. If not I will have to drop the idea. What is most annoying fact is that the 2 guys who were extremely benefited by Seshu are not even showing any interest to come to the function. Man is such a selfish animal in this universe. I might have also done something like this, but I pray to god that never I should become like this – taking help frm someone and later forgetting about that person.

Lots of change happened last couple of days. I left going to gym in my office in morning. Was feeling too uncomfortable when I used to come back to the bay from gym. Also I was finding it very difficult to manage the work. So I have started going to the gym near my house in evening. This has provided me more time to work in office and also I feel that it has been very effective in doing exercise in this gym under a trainer than doing it myself without any guidance in office. But one more task I’m not able to accommodate in my life – reading for CAIIB. Don’t know why, all the interest, force whatever I had in me while reading for JAIIB is not present in me now. I feel very difficult to concentrate and read. Don’t know what is the reason.

One area in which I feel that I’m not skilled is making large number of friends. Sometimes back in a fwd mail that I received, there was some thing by which we were able to find out about ourselves. In that it was mentioned that I am too choosy or careful when it comes to select friends. I feel like it is very much true. One more fact is that I find it extremely difficult to cope up if someone among my close friends does something unexpected. I cant tolerate only. So much I have tried to improve upon this area. But not successful so far. But I have a miraculously high power to resist if someone in work area is trying to compete with me and in the process is trying to pull me down. I take it very light and try to give that person back whenever the time comes.

Everything in this universe undergoes a change. In other words, the things are cyclic in nature. But not that when everytime the cycle repeats, all the things in different stages has to remain same. J

I saw TL’s new baby photos today in office. I started feeling very nice about it. How great you will feel when you see your own little cute soft sensitive and extremely (I’m dying for words) delicate baby in front of you. I guess it is the most beautiful moment any parent in this world can have. I don’t know whether I will even take my eyes off from the baby even for a short fraction of second. Somethings in this nature are un describable.

little steps

I had an opportunity to go thru many forwards today which created sort of multiple thoughts in my mind. If I had gone to bed without allowing it to come out, I would have missed another opportunity to realize my potential to think on some thing substantial.

“Faith dog” – a dog which has only two legs and can still walk like a human. Yes, sounds unbelievable but true. When it was born, the owner of the dog decided to put it to “permanent sleep”. But god had some thing great in store for it. The dog was buyed by another owner who decided to name it as faith and made up a goal which none of us could ever think in our dreams – “Teach it how to walk”. Of course she had to struggle for good 6months to make it learn that. But now her effort has been paid off. The dog walks like any normal human without any slightest difficulty. The owner has left the teaching job to be with the dog and take it out all the day. The dog has already appeared in various TV shows and also about to come in Harry potter movie. What it proves flatly is -“Nothing is impossible”

In another instance I saw in TV program that a young handicap boy who has congenital defect of calcium deficiency. All his bones were very brittle when he was born and hence suffered multiple fractures even by a gentle touch. But her mother was not ready to give up. She nurtured her kid and also taught him how to read and write. He can now lie down on floor and write. He can also read quran in Arabic language.

I don’t want to say that we are no match compared to them. My ma tells that such handicap people will be gifted some extraordinary thing by god. I don’t say that we don’t have such thing with us. We have to realise it. Just small approach towards something will help us to reach the aim. So what is important is the aim and then the work towards it. Yes this is what I wanted to understand from those two instances. None of them got the end results by miracle. The lady had to teach the dog every day for 6months and the mother had to take immense care of the kid who would get hurt just by a touch. What went in their advantage is the aim and the little constant steps towards that aim. We will realise our gift only if we follow the similar approach. Little steps towards the aim actually is the key to open that gift.

The moment which I’m going to write down here is something which I don’t think anyone of us face very often in our life.

It was 8^th July 09, 2009. We had this BOA townhall (aka Bofa Party) in Chancery pavilion, Residency Road. We will have this every half year. But this time it became very special for me.

The function was going on as usual with speech from leadership, programs, company achievements show case etc. then it was the turn for giving away awards. First it was the turn of those who completed 5 years in Accenture. Next they announced that they will give the award under intellectual people category to those who have done JAIIB and CAIIB certification. My ears became extra attentive and heart started beating a bit more than normal conditions. I have literally felt that every part in my body started playing the role of Ears to help me hear even the whisper of that anchor on stage. First they called up my senior’s name who was not present on that day. “we would like to call upon the stage Mr. Vishwas Shenoy” the music started playing in the background, claps started from the audience, a few of who knew me, started searching for me in the Auditorium. My heart started beating so hardly that each beat created sort of heaviness inside me. I could feel the blood flowing throughout my body from head to Toe. My legs had become so light that I was virtually flying when I was walking towards the stage. I had to struggle a lot to keep the composure and maintain dignity. In next 15 sec I was near the stage. The 3 steps that I had to climb to reach the stage, sort of created confusion as to how do I start. Should I place right leg first or left? The intention was to land on the stage with right foot, bit superstitiousJ. I really don’t remember what I did finally. May be the unconscious mind inside me told its controlling organs that the need of the hour is to make sure that i reach the stage properly, and not to bother with which leg i land there. Finally I was there at the All-happening-spot of the evening. Those blissfull moments of receiving the award (500 Rs gift voucher of landmark) is something which I could never forget in my life. I stayed there on stage for another 5 secs to take the photograph and then walked down. My teammates started cheering at me and I was really clueless as how to react for it. At that moment I just wanted to find some place to sit down, and relax my heart which was beating at un-recognizable pace. It took nearly 10 mins for me to come back to normalcy and feel that I’m still here in the auditorium. Those few secs of walking towards the podium to receive award and stay there to take photo with Bharath Doraiswamy ( Sr. Exec) was more blissful than the award itself.

This was an unforgettable trip of 2days and 1 night. Finally we were able to break the evil spell on us and plan the trip. This particular place – MM hills was there in our to-be-visited list from long time and for many reasons we were not able to plan our trip properly. Each one of us were busy in our own work leaving ma bored in doing her routine household work.

Finally when my CAIIB exams were over(in which I fared so bad that I didn’t think about writing a blog for that) I made it a point to visit the place atleast now. I drew a firm plan- start early morning on Saturday,visit couple of more place on the way to MM Hills, stay that night on hills and come back next day. Bingo! Everyone gave their consent to my plan and I was looking for 6th june to come ASAP.

As planned we started from home early mrng on Sat – 8am!!!! Well not everything goes according to plan and 2hrs delay from planned departure time is excusable in India. My mother with her long vision as always had prepared dosa for Breakfast which helped us not to waste any money and time for Breakfast by stopping in any restaur. We just stopped at Kamat LokaRuchi for a tea break, parceled some snacks to eat on the way and continued our journey.

Near maddur we took a left turn to proceed towards Kollegal. On the way we stopped at Shivanasamudram aka Shimsha, the waterfall. Since the monsoon was yet to start, there was not much water there. But the view was really superb. We spent some time there and then continued journey towards Kollegal. At around 1pm we reached Kollegal-the town famous for black magic. Even with lots of resistance from my ultra clean bro, we had lunch at a restaur there since we didn’t had any other option. Post lunch we started our journey towards the MM Hills. When we were just 10mins distance from kollegal town, it started raining cats and dogs. Throughout our journey to and fro MM Hills the rain didn’t stop. Every inch of distance was such a beauty that I find it very difficult to explain. Never in my life had I ever watched so much of clouds flowing over the roads, hills, trees. The chilling cold make me shiver everytime I remember the moment. The frequent stops on the route to take snaps was really awesome. I had a great difficulty in driving too as the view was not clear. The never stopping rain added its own contribution to it.

We had darshan at the temple at around 5.30pm. there was no rush or q in the temple as we made it a point to visit the temple on non-spl day to avoid problems in finding accommodation on hill top. But when we were about to reach the car after darshan, ma came up with a brilliant idea. She told that it is not worth staying on top of the hill when it is raining so continuously. We will just get bored. Instead it will be good if we go down to Chamarajnagar (aka Nagar) so that the next morning we can leave to BR Hills from there. We consulted a few ppl there about the routes and distance and came to know that it is nearly 110 km from hills. We decided to move!! Around 8.30 Pm we again came down to Kollegal , had dinner there and left to Nagar from there at 9pm. It was 10 pm when we reached Nagar! We managed to get an accommodation there where we spent our night.

7th june- 8am. We got ready in our hotel. Checked out from there and left to the Chamarajeswara temple- the town diety. Around 8.30 am we had breakfast at a nearby restaur and left for BR Hills. When we enquired the hotel owner about the route to BR Hills he told that there are two routes which leads to BR Hills. One is thru the Yelandur town and the other is direct Nagar to BR Hills thru dense Forest. The forest is protected wildlife sanctuary and very famous for wild Elephants and Tigers!! The route is also famous for its nature beauty and at the same time very risky he told. We didn’t think twice before deciding to take the risky route to enjoy the nature beauty. Except for slight resistance by dad.

9.30am: BR Hills Entry Checkpost : we were made to write down our details at the entry point to the hills. We asked him what to do if we come across any elephant herd. Pat came the reply – “Nothing”. We went ahead into the deep jungle. Man!!!! Every cm of the distance was true beauty. You cannot forget the nature beauty. We couldn’t decide which one is more beautiful- MM Hills or BR Hills. At around 12pm we finished the darshan at the famous Biligiri Ranganatha temple, came to our car, finished the breakfast parcel we got in them morning and started our journey to next famous Temple – SriKanteshwara Temple, Nanjangud. Famously known as Dakshina Kashi.

4.30 pm: Nanjangud: the q was pretty long since it was Hunnime on that day. My dad knew the temple Pradhan Archak who helped us in getting quick darshan thru the back door. After a informal tea break at his home we started our journey back to B’lore at 5.30pm

10 pm: we were back home in B’lore. The total distance covered was 630 KM!! but we didn’t feel the tiredness. It was a memorable tour.
