As I sit here at the end of my work day

I decide to listen to some music while I check personal emails. The first two songs are 'Sawa Rupaya' and 'Dreamum Wakeupum'  from the film "Aiyya". I realise that these songs are in such contrast to the work day I have just had. 

It's been a mixed kind of a day work wise...up and down and up and down and rather dull. 

I spent the morning doing some research for a work thing. I'm absolutely not feeling motivated to finish this task, but tomorrow I will have to. I had said this yesterday too. Ah well !

I did one task very well and that put me back in good spirits.

I was assigned a task that actually doesn't fall in my purview, but will have to do it nonetheless, since there is nobody else in the company presently who can do it. Its a little tiresome to be in this position. Exclusivity isn't always good, I think to myself.

I got an email related to some work that I have been wanting to take up and I'm very pleased about it.

Finally, with all the work out of the way, I am slowly packing up to leave and, thanks to the songs I just listened to, feeling cheerful again. In fact, I'm feeling quite upbeat. These songs are totally far-out ! Crazy - that's the only way to describe the lyrics of both songs. The tunes of both songs are uplifting. What a fun combination of lyrics and music. I love both songs :)

I've always been a lyrics, melody and harmony person. I don't fancy much the songs whose lyrics I can't decipher (e.g. many English songs that involve screeching, loud noises etc.) or those whose lyrics don't evoke some feeling in me. Likewise for the tune of a song - there has to be a tune. Crashing, banging noises do nothing for me. A good beat can hold my interest for a short while. But if I remember a song years later, its only because of its lyrics and tune.

I realise that, like a song, I need my day too, to have meaningful words that will vibe with me,  a melodious tune, a harmony to it.

‘Geographically challenged’

I laughed my guts out while reading this . Then I had another bout of laughter thinking of all the incidents that happen with me. For a long time now I have known that I am, what I like to call, ‘geographically challenged’ :) Situation 1 - If I go inside a building (happens mostly with residential buildings), then after I exit the lift (elevator) or come down the stairs, I cannot quickly locate the gate ! Situation 2 - If I am inside a building, I will routinely point in wrong directions to indicate places outside the building. Situation 3 - I am presently at office. I have come here from home. Now I have to go to some place where I have always gone from home and never from office. What do I do ? I go home first and from there I go to that place. It doesn’t matter if it is a longer distance or takes more time. I have to do this, because simply have no mechanism to re-align my mental map to my present location ! Situation 4 - Another thing is that if I have come to your place in ...

The balance of nature

The Japan earthquake and tsunami managed to bring tears to my eyes. It is terrible to see the amount of damage …to humans, to property, to the landscape…to lives…and it will take ages to restore some sense of normalcy. Life as they knew it before this disaster is lost forever for all the affected people…those who are still alive. :( Call me weird or naïve or stupid or un-informed or anything, but I really believe that we humans have managed to bring things to such a level where Nature has to act to restore the balance. How else does one explain the rise in the frequency of natural disasters and the increased intensity of the damage they cause each time they occur ? The uncontrolled population increase over the centuries itself has been responsible in robbing the Earth of its natural resources. Add to it the greed of humans…we can’t take just as much as we need…we have to take more and hoard. We don’t think of preservation, of regeneration or of repaying what was taken. We cross the ...
