2 years.....

Tomorrow will be 2 years since I saw my parents and sister last. I just cannot imagine living without seeing any family what so ever for last two years....WOW.I don't know how is my rest of the family dealing with it? Must be hard for them.

My mom always says" when you see off somebody say goodbye with a smile on face because that is the face , they will always remember till they see you next." This is very true, till today when ever I have glimpse of my family I always see their smiling faces. I hope they also remember my smiling face always.

Two years is neither a huge time difference nor a small time difference. But this is the longest I have lived with out seeing anybody from my family. Yes I do miss them, yes I want to spend time with them. I still miss those tender moments with my mother. I still admire my fathers way of showing affection to me. I still miss all those brother sister fights almost on anything with my sister. But I have certain goals to achieve and I am very focused for them.

I remember how my mother was against my decision of leaving home. I also remember how much effort I need to put to persuade my father. I also remember those stress times in order to get all the paper work done. Making a decision is one thing and sticking to it is another. I have proved it to my self that I made a decision and clinged with it.

Lately, My parents and I have started to drift apart, becuase of difference in opinions. But this doesn't mean I didn't love or respect them. I still miss them and hoping for things to get better between us.

Peace

Morning Commute

In the train, generally in mornings see a lot of people sitting around me. The fascinating thing about everyone is,we all are thinking the same thing in a different ways. Some people are working on their laptops, some people are reading books, some people are listening to music,but all of the people are thinking why is this train moving so slow? Despite the fact it is running a the normal speed.

Morning commute is always fun. The main objective for people,who use public transport, is to catch a specific train or bus, though the next one is coming in 15 minutes. If they get the bus they feel like they conquered a big battle against the time. However, if they miss it they will be so mad at the driver, like it all the driver's fault that he/she is trying to run service on schedule.

I tend to observe a lot of people on buses. There are all kind of people taking buses and trains for example,students, workers, small business owners etc etc. But one thing which I observed is nobody want to sit next to a stranger. People have very high self esteem. They prefer to stand despite if they have an open seat next to someone. People are very less friendly on buses and trains I don't know why? . This is what it looks like, there are 40 people in a bus and nobody is talking for 40 minutes. If we put these people in a room for 40 minutes I am sure people half the people will end up talking. But on public transport I never saw it happening.

It is also fascinating to see groups of people taking the bus/train. They will end up being the loud and obnoxious people on the bus. Because nobody else is talking and they have somebody to talk to so they flaunt it to others. They think they are the only people in the bus/ trains who have friends. Isn't it funny.

Networking With right minded people

....

I once heard " Man is known by the company he keeps",trust me this is so true, I have personally experienced it. However, it doesn't mean people who are not in good company cannot do wonders. I always remember one saying one of my old friend use to "Man makes his own destiny" and that is true. But again what is destiny for one individual will not be destiny for other individual. Some people are satisfied with the mouthful of sky and some people wants whole sky and there is also a third type who doesn't know what they want. To be honest there is nothing wrong with being any of the three types. It is totally personal choice. However, in order to achieve right set of dreams and aspiration one need to hangout with people who have similar kind of vision. For example, if a person want to learn to play guitar and he goes and hangs out with athletes who want to play and exercise the chances for this person to learn guitar is very low because whenever he is surrounded by these friends he cannot focus on what he wants. This doesnt mean he cannot learn to play guitar if he wants it really bad yes he can make it happen. But hanging out with people with right mind set helps a lot.

Networking is The Key to Success

In this day of technology and Internet,the one issue which is emerging is people are getting isolated from each other. Mostly everyone have their profiles on "Myspace", "Facebook" ,"twitter" or any other social networking site, they have loads and loads of friends on their profiles but they don't have real friends.

Today I am not going to talk about social aspect of networking, the focus of this blog is the success in terms of financial and business endeavors through "NETWORKING". This century is the century where people can be successful(Monetarily ) by just having a great idea. The information is the most valuable thing in today's world. The popularity and commercial success of Internet is the proof of it. However, we still need human intervention in order to run it. In this technological advance world the one thing which people lack is human networking.

Networking is needed so much in order to be successful. People, need it at each and every aspect of life. If you want to grow you have to be networking. And everyone cannot be amazing at it, this is some thing which one have to learn. By networking one can leverage their effort to an astonishing level. Networking with anybody can not help however, networking with right people with a progressive mind set help one a lot.

The most important attribute one need to posses in order to do some thing is "positive attitude" everything else can be learned.

Slumdog Millionaire and Wolverine:Same story line pretty much

Most people don't agree with the statement above. I know, it doesn't seem to be right, but in reality if we observe closely we can find it. For those who have not seen either of these movies and care to watch them, I will suggest them to watch them first and then read the analysis.

Lets begin form the beginning. So, Slumdog Millionaire is tale of two orphaned brothers and how their relationship changed with the course of life based on making personal choices. Now, coming back to Wolverine it sounds kind of similar, but I will explain it how. Two brothers (I know they are not really, but it is pretty much depicted this way) with similar kinds of super powers that have rough childhoods. Then, as they grow older, they drift apart because of the choices they make.

Lets take much closer look: Logan and Victor have super powers and this makes on of them different form others however one embraces the fact and go do the right thing other become bad and vicious. Jamal Malik and Salim are poor brothers in the slums of Mumbai, India. As the grow older, Jamal becomes nice and hard working, while Salim becomes a gangster.

Now we are coming to the part which also make both the movies' story lines similar-the love triangle as we speak. So Victor, a.k.a. Sabretooth, takes away Kayla (Logan's lover)whichthen motivates him to go out and look for Victor so that he can take revenge. So, becuase of this the whole deal , where Logan get injected with Adamantium(alloy) , happens. The main thing which makes wolverine who he is. Now lets compare with Slumdog. Salim rapes and takes Latika away from Jamal. Now Jamal wants to find Salim so that he can find Latika and that is why he tries to go on the game show. I know they are depicted differently but I have to say similarity is there.

Lastly, Victor defends Logan against Deadpool, and similarly Salim protects and helps Latika to escape which in turn helps his brother.

Don't get me wrong I like both movies. They are very well made, directed and above all very successful-which I appreciate. But it looks like it this might be a great formula for Hollywood now to create blockbusters.
