Dreams are sometimes better than Reality!!

So finally the time has come again to pen my thoughts .A routine day starts with waking up 2 hrs before we start to office,from then on ruminating what needs to be done in the 8 hourts that we painstakingly have to pass on then trudge our way back to home again and in between we do eat.
This routine monotonous life has no end as we either are lackadaisical to change it or we just accept the way we are or rather we ourselves dont know what we really need.Frankly speaking most of us do fall in the 3rd category of not knowing what needs to be done whether we are doing things what we needed to.For allmy conversations that i have had with like minded people,I have never seen anyone finding any solace in the industry that he is into nor anyone who is because what he wanted to do was.We studied in a decent enough college grabbed a degree that was for the taking and then got placed.Initially we were pretty enthused and enthusiastic about the life that was to unwind before us but as days passed we have become immune to the world of back biting and bootlicking that we have got accustomed to.I am not suggesting that i have done something out of the ordinary here but i am trying ways to alienate myself from this.Try as i might we don't have any other option as of now than to do this for many more light years to come.
What we are doing might interest us for that day but i still know many who are finding it pretty hard just to get the day over that's ahead of us and start thinking of the next.Weekends are passed off by taking nap and indulging in movie watching but is that what we really intended to do when had aspired when we were young?
Being honest to myself,i never envisaged of me doing coding one day in some XYZ company for i didnt have a plan B to fall upon if i don't want this.Not that i didnt try for a MBA or MS but MBA MS is fine but what next? To be honest do we really need a doctorate or a managerial degree unless we had proper plans in place. They say plan ahead always so that in future you are not stuck up with what you have got.
This is where the idea of this blog springs from.I would rather admit that i have never been a good dreamer.To dream something that we want to be, to perceive ourselves as something good and we should try to take it from there.How many times have we heard great people remonstrate saying dreams are what that takes you to the next level.We are living an illusionary life which is only as bright as a candle glowing on a windy day.True that the candle might glow but isn't a fading candle that burns brightest.Unless until we come out of this mental state of mind,dream big, we will never be what we really want to be and we will always be one among the crowd and in the list of also rans.
So folks come home to the world of fantasy!! Fantasise because what allures you today might be a bitter pill to swallow the day after!!

Untitled

Atlast after months of contemplating and given sufficient thought to this,i have finally decided to go public.The art of blogging is something that has enthused me right from the beginning and i have never given a serious thought to it.But being a human,one succumbs to temptations and i consider myself no exception.So i have also thrown caution to winds and joined the bandwagon.

So before starting to write one on my own i thought of seeing some blogs.Naturally i had to visit some of my friend's blogs and the variegated subjects that are being discussed there in each post somewhat left in me an indelible expression that its time to write one of my own.But i dindt want to be one among the crowd and write about cricket nor the US presidency nor the Raj thackeray antics.

Being the first article,the next thing that obviously needs to be decided is the subject.I am thinking of a meaningful topic to start with but try as i might without sports or politics i am not able to think something that will be both meaningful and will stir up a controversy as well :).Anyway a lot of soul searching still needs to be done before i zero in on a subject which will keep both me and the people reading captivated for some time atleast.

With the advent of serial watchers at an all time high,people are accustomed to seeing "To Be continued".And it is only natural that happens with me also.
So till that time i have no other options but to sign off!!!!
Note:Now people would not question the reason for the post named Untitled,for frankly speaking there would not be a much better one either.
