Family FEUD

First i would like to apologize for not posting any blog in such a long time. This problem of family feud is a growing issue and it has hardly been addressed in any place for a long time now. And to be frank no particular family is immune from facing such a problem. If you say your family has not encountered any such problem then i would say that you are lying or you are not actually aware of what is going around you.

Many disputes of such nature boil down to property or issue regarding once wealth or stature in the family. This never gets old many film people have cashed it in the industry from time to time. I don't understand why do people change, is money everything in their life, can't people remain the same all the time. It has been said time and again that "what have you brought to this world to take it back" it is just the love and affection by which people will remember you in the long run.

I am not stating that you have to be saint and let go of your rights and be a noble person. We are normal people with normal aspirations, my point is as simple as it gets just try to enjoy your dreams and achieve by not overstepping your boundaries so that it might affect the privileges of others. Isn't that the same concept implied in law too, a person's right ends where the other persons right begins.

And you know what, i think these problems of family feud will continue to exist till that point where the aggrieved party decides to let go of his or her right in the particular issue, this can be perceived in two sense or even more. I see the following reasons, one is that it is not worth the fight or the dispute, it can always be earned back and the person does not want to hurt the feelings of the elderly, the more devilish side to it is the actual fear of losing out on some portion of the property, this actual though forces a person to think in more than one way to get a major chunk in some property and in this process they decide to be irrational in their own pursuit.

I really don't want to be found around such kind of people, these people may be great even good but certain acts performed by them do not justify or counter anything, what is a wrong is a wrong, it is a quite simple logic, it takes a lot of time to develop something great be it a relation or some achievement but it takes very less time to destroy it, and people never seem to understand that, I wonder why!!!!!!!

Arrears in College... what????

The usual thing you get to hear from your friends if they enquire about your studies if at all they enquire, the usual thing they ask is "how are your studies going?, do you have any arrears?"

Has anyone wondered why people use a different name when in college when one person fails to clear a particular paper. It is just a cover-up actually. The people grow up and the attitude also changes with them and the people want to make things sound a lot fancy.

In school, if you were unable to clear a particular exam, you will feel bad, i am not saying failure in college you might not feel bad, yes you will feel bad, you might not actually know how to react actually. In college you have a different set of people with you, and you might not be the only one who did not clear the particular paper and you are bound to have some company in the form of your friends, who will also feel bad but all this lasts for a day or two max and it gets back to normal in the due course of time.

Although this may not be true to some set of people who are in a category where they are in a competition and they want to excel in each and everything in life, people are bound to meet failure at some point in their life, sometimes it is because of their own acts and sometimes induced or caused by someone else.

It is just part and parcel of life and here i am not saying that you should not repent for the failure, yes it is a great feeling to have success all the time but at the same time a failure is not the end of the world. You have to get up and brush aside the failure but never forget about it, keep that in the back of your mind and try to get back where you really belong. Remember, if you are are worried about the campus placements and all those stuff, just remember no successful business man got to the place where he is without having a single hurdle in their life.

They will be more pleased to know that you never gave up and worked harder and went on to achieve your goal, everywhere the people who look for recruits look for the fighting spirit in a individual. Yes, i do agree that marks are also vital and you may also state that arrears could leave a black mark on your report and may not look so delightful. But remember no one is going to bother you with all that once you get yourself into a respectable position.

You might often listen some oldies say " in those times, we never used to keep arrears, we used to work really hard, this generation is totally different", well people who say that will keep saying that and you cannot change them. You don't know what it was like back then, and i for one do not want to know about it as well. We are in a totally different generation and the study techniques are totally different from theirs.

The funny part is when some oldies say "our schooling is way superior to your college", i agree with this one, not many colleges are so good at teaching, it is the self study that gets the students through to the next round and the oldies should stop saying such things because, the amount of books they carried when they studied is way way less than the book carried by the primary section.

So, all i am trying to say here is that, never get pulled down if you have any arrears, and remember to stay away from people who try to console you, they are the people who really pull you down even more actually, i know they might do that with the best intentions but that will only hurt you even more, just be jovial and keep the fire burning inside you.

College Life

This is one of those places where you get to know people more deeper and it is here n many cases that you get to find more friends and these re the people who are most likely to be with for the rest of the life.

I am not saying that the friends in school are of less importance or they may not be with you for your life. But all i am trying to state here is that college is a place where you get to know the real people after you understand the good and bad(hopefully u people did by this time).

Many people in the current age enter into college for a full on race they come in and get out and all they try to do in the period of their stay in college is to score marks earn good name with teachers.

Well this is the case of many people they hardly realize that once you are out of college there will be a whole different world waiting to crumble them and you might hardly find any time to enjoy.

And now-a-days people choose correspondence courses to regular colleges, they do not realize what they are actually missing in their real life. College life is all about friendship, compassion, love and not to mention fun, BUT remember But all this is possible only when you have the right set of people around you.

I am not implying anywhere that the college life is only about fun and enjoyment but this should never be at the cause of studies. Work while you work and play while you play. In college, it would be right to say that it is not mandatory to pay attention to all the lectures, it is at this point that we should be able to choose from what is important and what is not. It is not school to be paying attention to each and everything, even if you decide to do i am not blaming anything, you might find somethings to be repetitive.

All i would like to say is that the people in general have a short span of concentration and even if you say u can sit in a lecture and concentrate for the whole 1hr or so, you are lying would be my say, concentration is not that much, the max span of continuous concentration is only 30 min and i am not making up the facts.

People enjoy the college life as much as you while you can, if you don't you will repent later, saying, " i wish i had enjoyed college life", "i missed college life" and so on.

I will keep posting about college life regularly as it is vast topic and usually need a lot of discussion and understanding and cannot be dealt in one single blog.

Life BiRtH N Career

"Mera beta engineer banega" (my son will become engineer), this was the first thing a guy called Farahan had to hear from his father the moment he was born. This reference has been taken from the movie "3idiots"

This was told as a jovial note and people usually and i mean usually try to enjoy the moment there in the cinema hall and enjoy the experience. The issue hear to be looked into is that, the burden of everything, i mean everything which is put upon a child's shoulder the moment he/she enters the world.

Even life partners are sometimes decided at child birth and there are 'n' number of movies in all languages in Indian cinema which portray such scenarios. O.k, the literal translation of dialogue usually used are " look how beautiful my bride is?" or "when i have a daughter i will surely give her hand to him" and so on.

You could justify that all these are just movies and what could these have any possible correlation to things that happen in the real life. But again i would like to reinstate that from where do these people get these ideas, ir is from the real world. I am not going to go deep in to the relationship aspect here, it too vast and complex and sometimes it even gets dirty.

Well, lets start with career shall we, people usually, i mean usually, forget the word usually, they are never bothers about it to to be frank. I again state there are always exceptions.

Well lets start from the beginning shall we, imagine you ask a guy/gal what what you want you want to be in life, and we get to hear stuff like "I want to be a doctor/engineer/lawyer/pilot and so on" the list is never ending, even i fall into one such category, we tend to decide on things quite early in life i am not blaming that and that is not in wrong in totality too, it is just that i think we tend to decide on things even before what they are or what these people actually do in their life.

It is basically the people around you who drive you in those tender years and you tend to get inspired by the things which happen around you or from the things you hear. Our human brain has to be referred in this particular instance of discussion. Our human is a very powerful thing and if trained you can bend even iron rods just using your mind, i may look like exaggerating but it is not so, i believe every person is gifted in his/her own way and they can choose or do anything to which they set their minds to.

It is just about getting to the final destination and every target has hurdles and competition but if you have set your target and you can work towards it every mountain is scalable no matter how big it is.

The usual thing that happens in reality is that, many people love to do something and end up doing something else and it is the way of nature. But, all i would like to say is never give up hope on the thing which you aspire or love to do ever in your life.

You must have heard people say if you love your carrier, you will enjoy it, but not many get o do that so let us change the thing a little bit according to the present trend, if you love to do a thing but instead end up doing something else, complete the thing that you have started and try to work towards your goal later on but never ever give up on that.

The simple concept to be followed on career/life is never to lose focus, it is not a guy who has taste success at the first instance who is regarded as a fighter but a guy after repeated failures goes on to achieve that goal. I am not stating that achieving something in one go is not the right attitude of a fighter or a winner, but sometimes that could play a negative part in your life, a person who knows to get up after a fall in life can only dream of achieving greatness in life. The negative part which i am stating all along is that some people grow so accustomed to their success that one small failure could traumatize them.

Life is one, choose something you want to do, even if you don't get to do that, try to do it at some point of time in your life, but never repent on what you are doing or what you will be doing a few years from now, that could play a very damaging role in your life.

And it is you who is going to shape your life after a certain point of time in you life. It is like this parents and teachers mold the outer portion and then you have some clay in your hand so that you can enhance your personal value in a particular area or field. And finally it is you who has to decide on what you want to do in your life and what you want to make out of it.

Studies NN Friends

Friends are an integral part of our lives and i stand by it. There are some interesting set of people who might have joined you in some walk of life. These set of people would want to befriend you at some point of time for a particular objective or for a personal reason. There are various kinds of people and there are various reasons. One of the most common reasons is studies and this is not something out of the ordinary and there are people like that.

I know this is a fact that many would acknowledge it to be true and the people would sure agree to it. It is a normal attitude or a character of every living being. Let us take an example of a pack of wolves they roam with each other just for security of one another and to hunt it is all a selfish motive and it is how the people are, after all human beings evolved from apes and apes are also animals.

There is a usual attraction towards people who are studious in their life and that is usually determined by the talent that they posses in their life. And people try to befriend these kind of people for the most common of reasons that is for improving their own standards.

Now even in this there are another set of people who try to befriend these people and these people are not weak in studies but they try to befriend them so as to know them from near so that they can beat them easily.

As people say "all is fair in love and war", studies in the current scenario has become war and people who slow down are crushed to such an extent that they are rendered hopeless and are left alone only when others are satisfied that he/she won't have the same fighting spirit again.

Here i would like to bring about the example of a guy nicknamed "silencer" in the movie "3idiots" where the day before his exams he would go about distracting his fellow classmates in order to increase his own chances of securing the top rank. Well the later category of people are somewhat of the same kind.

Here, i am not against any of the two types, here there is a selfish reason with both sets of people and that is not to be blamed in totality, but the former type is better than the later. I am not degrading the later type but mark these words and mark them well, these kinds of people stay with you through out your life, the reason is is not that complicated in both the cases.

Remember, man is driven by necessity when he has everything he doesn't think much about it but when he doesn't have anything he tries to find ways and means to attain the goal.

In the first case, the person becomes indebted and tries to repay the favor and treads the rest of the life with you and helps you in some way or the other. The later is a bit rare but they too exist, it is the competitive attitude that keep this kind of relationship alive and kicking. This kind of attitude and thing can be damaging because the other guy would want to outshine in one aspect or the other and the way to do it easy is to stay with them 24x7 and know what they do in-order to stay ahead of people. This kind of competition could turn out to be a healthy one in due course of time and both of them could benefit from this kind of relationship and maybe and just maybe could turn into a healthy friendship.

Finally, mark my words and mark them well, every rule which i have stated has an exception and there are not strict principles laid down like maths/science, it is life and it has to have its own twists and turns in life

Fight among Friends

A fight among friends is usually verbal and does not go to the physical extent in most of the cases. There is an old saying that you fight only with the ones you love the most and i think everyone loves their friends in life.

Sometimes a fight is good between friends it is mainly because we know their worth only when they are not with us, that is when we sit down and think about the time spent with them what they have done for us and how much they have been with us. A fight can arise out of petty things and at the end of the day you might even wonder what the fight was all about and you try to justify the acts with some lame thing.

I don't mean to be apprehensive when i say this but among friends one of them is bound to have more ego or prestige than the other. We cannot expect them to change, well i say this because if he/she is truly your friend then you have accepted them for what they are. The issue mainly build up and the divide among friends comes in when a third person enters into the picture, people on the weaker side try to gather support when there is an issue and try to have the advantage of pity with them so that the other guy will be blamed.

The usual stuff people tend to say is that "he did this, that is why i did that otherwise i wouldn't have done that" or "how could he do such a thing" and so on. In this process the people bring a third person into their friendship to resolve the matter and put him as judge and confide unto them all the details and these people sometimes act as lawyers and do all the stuff which will justify the guy/gal's actions in the particular context.

My simple logic, although it is one of the tough logic to follow is that just try to stay calm under all circumstances and try to avoid the quarrels, you cannot expect to win with friends. I agree that competition is great and that is what drives everyone to achieve more in life. But remember a healthy competition is always welcome but a competition which could ruin a friendship is not worth taking. Note that i am telling you to give up on things which mean to you at the same time i want people to know what their priorities in life are and should learn to let go the things which do not matter to you.

I understand that some people are too sensitive about everything but that is not the way of life, if you are too sensitive you may attract attention pity and even help when needed but this may not last for long because no one can be open or frank with that kind of person, o.k let's say that person is a receptive character that could be an exception. Remember no where i am stating that you are to keep everything bottled up inside you, that is a really really bad thing and at some point or the other the whole thing may come out of you and at that point it may not be a pretty scene to see. People will become too apprehensive of you and when you start kindling the old issues which they thought you had left then the impression on you will totally change. It is good to share things be it good or bad.

As a conclusion i would like to say that fights are bound to happen in some circumstance or the other and it is inevitable but it should been see to it that these issues can be sorted out and be mended before it goes out of proportion.

What is Love?

A feeling which is imbibed in each and every individual. The word love is far more more deep the perceived in the normal sense. In the current trend the word love has taken a totally different route altogether, it more about a relationship between a guy and a girl, and yes i am going to talk about the same issue.

I am not going to address issues like parental love or the bonds between a brothers and sisters. These kinds of love happens and you tend to grow to love them as time passes by and you have 'n' number of reasons for the same. It is a bond which forms at birth and the love stays.

Now coming to the actual crux of the topic, people generally say to their friends first in ways similar to this like "I am in love" or "Ennaku Love vanthuduchu" or "Mujhe pyaar ho gaya hai"(sorry guys i know only three languages else would have typed in all the languages) this is the way things usually go about it in the first place. People then go about trying out all the filmy styles in order to impress the love of their life.

I agree with all the points till now, it is a great feeling that too I agree and we have novels, plays and not to forget our film industry to support these claims. People go about the love issue rather too fast, which i am not blaming some people are lucky to find them, many i mean make blunders and there are numerous cases of heart break due to varying reasons which i need not emphasize on right now.

All said, it is now to discuss about what this whole love is all about. People kinda hurry up on the whole issue of love, the simple reason you get is or the advice you get is including the film industry is that "Hurry up and tell your love soon else, you may loose that person", this is quite true and i don't deny this statement, yes you can never delay love and it has to be said soon. The logic is quite simple if you have to catch a train or a flight you can be there an hour in advance and sometimes you can start from home 3 hours in advance but when you try to be there a day in advance or for a night journey you decide to come to the place of departure in the morning that is insane.

People hurry up in their relation and they try to save time on it. I don't quite understand what saving time here implies and what is the hurry about it, love will happen when it has to happen and people should not force them into it. Love is a wonderful feeling and people will know its depth only when the find the right person.

Love is about understanding, compassion, feeling for one another and now in the current era it is not about that at all, it all about looks that play a pivotal role in deciding the partner. I am not generalizing anything it is the fact and i could be wrong about the 10% of the people but the rest 90% is about looks.

I am not against anybody when i stated my previous sentence many could be lucky to find a good heart behind great looks but that is just luck and people in general are not that lucky let's face it shall we, if every one were lucky everyone who bet on horse would have won, so it is a rare probability.

I would like to place beauty behind the character of a person, many people aspire for a drop-dead-gorgeous looks simply because it will feel the person elated, i am not criticizing anyone when i saw this, you could be an exception but a person does this mainly to show of his loved one and to such person character comes secondary and people in general usually envy such kinda relations mainly because it looks great when looked from a distance but not so great when near.

My simple logic would be that if you find a true love in some one it is bound to be noticed by that person and that person will seem beautiful to your eyes no matter what the comments are, people usually pay heed to various comments which is one of the main reasons of causing disputes but a deep love will not have such barriers.

I don't know how to elaborate on this love issue in a simple blog so i will finish this one by stating that "Love is a wonderful feeling and people should experience it but never push yourself to it, it will happen at the right time"
