Ideas are Immortal

We as humans are distinct from other animals for our sense of reasoning and the ability to imagine and create. And each one of us is bestowed with these, maybe in different proportions or in different interests. But, we do possess them.
Now, if a person is unable to identify these traits within himself and improvise them, he loses the privilege of being called a Human.Each of us should be able to have a line of thought which follows reason and atleast be in a state of mind which allows uninfluenced imagination,subsequently creation.
This is the least we can do to conserve our humane nature…….

Rarely have i been left truly inspired by the words of a man belonging to our times. When i hear Obama speak,he ignites a small bright flame of optimism-not a virtual optimism but a very relevant and practical optimism.
With a diverse background in which he was brought up,and the self sustained career which he’s tread so far, i think we are witnessing the grooming of a leader who will be what Lincoln or Gandhi are today to us…
Although he is filling in the dirty shoes of Bush with a shoulder sinking amount of responsibilities and hope of his mantra -CHANGE, people never have been more hopeful … Let us hope he delivers what he wants to, in times like these,as he puts ‘not the best of times with gray clouds all over us’ …
All the best Mr. Obama.

I was talking to a lady today,a family friend….She is not very educated and all….She is a pious but sensible Hindu…Its so happened that we started talking about metaphysics….She has read the “Geeta” many a times…She was talking about absolute righteousness,truthfulness, honesty in life….
But i was thinking these are a person’s choice…Then she was talking about reincarnation of humans into a lower form of life if we fail to deliver our duties…My rational mind was initially almost laughing at her…But as time passed i saw she believed whatever she said to the fullest and no one will be able to change her thoughts..
That i feel is more important-persistence of belief..I was wondering, she lives in a world,created in her mind from the principles from our ancient texts and holy beliefs …Most of it i feel is not practicable nowadays…..
But i wish i could also think like her,without analyzing the pros and cons of events,calling everything God’s play…
Sometimes Ignorance can be bliss…..

I guess, studying for exams just the day before like many other contemporaries of mine has become something very normal to me…Although we’ve had around 18 days gap between our last 2 papers, I’m doing it only today,exam’s tomorrow….
With this i have another important mental task….Delhi 6 audio is out,which i’ve got…I need to record those songs into my memory….Songs are good as expected….Rahman’s first after Golden Globe,and he has given another first time kinda songs…..

Being humans our responsibility is to do whatever we can, to the fullest…-Albert Einstein
A R Rahman has done it…..
There’s nothing to say A R,except that I feel more proud to be an Indian.seeing you….

Managing time will be the greatest challenge for me this year. Also,with proper management of time,i need to channelise my efforts into appropriately prioritised tasks. I’m whiling away a lot of time into activities which are important,but not that important at this point of time. On one side i have people with expectations for themselves, and on the other i have my work and corresponding commitments. There has been slight imbalance between the two. I’m working on balancing them back.

My team,STUDSAT(the student satellite team) wanted me to come up with a few quotes,capturing the team’s spirit to be printed on our team shirts. I was given less than a day’s time. I had actually forgotten about this that entire day. Then when i was lying in my bed that night, i started thinking as to what can be said.
Then i happened to come up with these 3 lines:
>”Individually we flourish,together we excel to create”

>”Our heads are held high,not gazing at the sky,but beyond it”

>”A man’s step became a giant leap for mankind,our step will become the same for students”

These were placed before the team for selection….Unanimously everyone voted for the second one,which happens to be this post’s title…..

I was happy seeing their response….

Wish you a happy birthday AR…Hope you keep us entertained with your divine and immortal music forever…….
You rock……

Hi…Was trying to churn out something to blog…But ultimately ended up with nothing….Then i thought i’d make this nothing into something instead of saying nothing at all….Still thinking if can i say anything else,but just felt this thing is sufficient for a barren day like today……

I’m hoping that 2009 will be an important year to me,and most of you as well….The transition from this academia to industry or higher studies will be an important step in our lives…When we look back after a few years these decisions would be the pivotal points in our life….So,i wanna give all of it a lot of thinking,analyse the pros and cons,finally listen to my heart…Cos,that is when you won’t repent…
Your heart somehow already knows what you wanted,so listen to it….
