Small things in BBSR...

As you must have gathered from my previous blogs, i am currently in BBSR Campus. One more day, and Iwill be in my flight back to cochin
I had no idea how Bhubhaneswar was when i had taken up this assignment. But some instinct of mine told me that things are going to be fine.
May be its because of my experience in shanghai, the creeps i get when a change happens, like a new place and new environment is far lesser than what it used to be before.

I must say, that i have been lucky to have got this opportunity to come down here.
The reasons are listed below:)

1. I was provided a very cosy accomodation at the ECC(Employee Care Center).
a. Well made beds
b. TV - with all possible channels
c. Neat bathroom
d. Gym - in the same building( which i should have visited more often)
e. Laundry service - which i have made use of totally:)

2. The Climate : extremely pleasant climate and it issimply amazing to curl up on your bed and watch tv or read books

3. The amount of time I had for myself here. I didnt have to answer to anybody here (not work wise), and Icould just take my own time to do things Ilove to do..no pressure to do anythign in a hurry

4. My friends Kaushik and Mitali - the only family I knew here, and who were so warm to me that they invited me over to their house, and it was fun to eat mitali's good food, and the shopping afterwards and the jokes cracked

5. The new track I was introduced here was challenging for me, but then..i am not gonna miss work anyways;)
6. The small visit to the cinema hall with my teammates who had no inhibitons in making me part of their gang. Well i must say my expertise in the hindi language remains the same;) inspite of people speaking only in hindi to me....:)

As the day has approached for me to leave this place, I am happy I took up this chance and realised that even small things that u take for granted in life,are the ones that make u feel immensely happy...you just dont realise it till you gear up to move on for deal with the next change in life:)
Thinking optimistically( a very rare thing my side) any change can lead you to happiness, if you have decided to be happy.
Note : Dont think that i always decide to be happy:), But as everybody else I wish to be happy 24/7:)

Keep Smiling:) and Bye BBSR!

Achan urangathe veedu

I happened to watch the movie 'Achan urangathe veedu' yesterday. Well anybody who has watched this movie would surely know, how touching this one is. This movie is based on a real life incident and i must appreciate the people behind this movie for such a bold move in portraying it so well and awakening the audience(Well how many are actually awakened and will keep the moral behind this movie is still a question unanswered).

Here is a review about this movie.Its one of the few movies which everybody should watch for the simple fact that for the 2 hrs you watch it, you will defnitely realise that there are people in this world who have much worser problems than what you have.

God's Debris!!!

One of my very close friends asked me to read the book, and sent me the link to God's Debris by Scott Adams. Well i just know Scott Adams as the originator of the cartoon character Dilbert.

I was not able to open the link at that time and forgot all about it. But today morning, the mention of that again, reminded me of it and i thought its time that i atleast looked into it.

Its a 144 page book, and the introduction section of this book gripped my attention to it.
I kept reading and i must say, the experience is something which cannot be expressed.
My head started spinning, by the end of it:)(You can take it either way:)).

If you would care to read this, then heres the link to get the PDF version of the book
