U know...

Someone once told me " Its all in your mind!!...if you think it is ..then it is....if you think it is not...it is not!!" ....Very true....isnt it?.... I was mentioning to someone yesterday that human mind is a mess sometimes...Have you ever wondered how many thoughts you thought in a single minute?,,,I did...and I started counting...n counting n countng.....until I lost track!!..heheheh!!....at one time I was thinking about my work..the next sec I was thinking about the colour of the walls in my home...n then the yummy food in my refrigerator...n then about the calories I was putting on...n so on....!!!....its a never ending saga of associations!!!.....and that too ..strange ones!!!.... It is said, that by meditation, one can control their thoughts...... Whenever we attend the meditation classes, we are told that we need to keep our mind focused on one thing for ex. think about your favourite fruit...and focus only on it and not let it waver.!!!!!! But how often are we able t...

The other day I was reading a newspaper. ..in the front page, there was an article about Ricky Ponting and Anil Kumble's meeting for an amicable settlement.....In this article, I saw this Airtel Ad!.....The way the ad was placed in the middle of this article was quite impressive... Donno why these numerous Ekta Kapoor serials dont seem to understand!!...in almost every serial , there are problems and issues in heroine's life just becoz she hesitates to TALK!....and her silence runs into many..many episodes...I think they believe in Speech is Silver and Silence is Golden!!! ( True for them!!....they are making so much money with their 'silence' episodes!!!)

A moment of silence....and a quick flashback!!.....that is what happens whenever I hear the sound of an ambulance!!... Today...while wading my way through the traffic jungle to reach office...with my fav. songs being played in my deck!...I was chalking out the plan of action for the day, and for the next few months with lot of enthusiasm and excitement to accomplish many things!!.....then suddenly...from the other side of the road...I heard the sound of an ambulance!!!!!!!! everything went blank in my mind....there was a long moment of silence!!!....all that happened 2 months ago...and 8 years ago...flashed through my mind!!.....8 years ago....we first realized the need for an ambulance....and 2 months ago...I actually experienced the feeling of an ambulance!!!... Trust me....neither of them turned out to be pleasant!!!... With a hope that the patient is cured , their family is happy, and, I regain the enthusiasm I lost a while ago...I start my long day ...with this post on my blog!!!....

Yesterday I was watching a programme in a news channel.....it was basically a discussion about what the next steps for BCCI and Indian team should be!!....For the first time after a long time, a programme related to Cricket enthused me....its not because of love of the game...but it was becoz of the love of the fluency and aggressiveness with which the news anchor was conducting the entire show!!.... I was really impressed !!...News anchoring...or as a matter of fact....anchoring any talk show...according to me....is an art not everybody can master!!...you need to be fluent...upright...aggressive...analytical...logical...while being sensitive to the fact that what you say can lead to misinterpretations with serious consequences....as you are being watched by almost the entire nation!!.....Tough Job!!...

From childhood, I always knew I was special....I grew up strongly believing in it!!!..Did I have any reasons then??..nope!!...I JUST KNEW I had the SPARK!!!... One day somebody asked me, so "What makes you special?" .....I said I was good at heart, sensible, responsible...etc etc etc......then the person said....ok you are...many others are too....then how are you different from them?.....for a moment, I thought, the person was foolish to ask such a question...what else could one possibly have.!!.....then I started thinking....what the person said was true....there are so many people out there, who are good...what makes me special?...... I thought...and thought...and thought.....then one day I realized.....that the only thing that makes anyone special....is the way we look at the world!!!!......and that is what I think, makes us different from another person.... we go to a movie with friends...but how I connect with the movie is different from how anyone of my friends does......

I was browsing through some stuff, when I came across this - Halo effect and Horn effect!!... Halo effect basically says, that when your visual message is positive, the other person tends to assume that other aspects about you are equally positive. Likewise, when your visual message is negative, then the other person will tend to assume that other aspects about you are equally negative. This is called the "Horns Effect." Therefore, it is especially important that you make a good impression by dressing professionally, exhibiting positive body language, and displaying a warm and sincere smile.

Read this somewhere!!...- " Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her .'”"

I always wondered how people wrote so much stuff in newspapers, magazines, blogs, etc...I never could see myself writing a lengthy article about something specific...i always was confused...what do i write about... where do i start.. how do i end...!!..and the confusion goes on!!!!!
