The Paradox of a Life..

How rare is it to meet people who make you feel that you are not totally worthless hehehehehe... Well on the other hand you do have a bunch full of people who constantly are making all endevours
to make believe that you are living in futility. Let me speak of the former rather than latter right now. Who would not want more of such people around oneself?
The man I am talking about is Ayan(hope i got the spelling right). The gentleman has and interesting bit about himself. A couple of years ago he did his graduation in engg from Jadavpur Univ Kolkata, India, and was one of the millions hit by the I.T. slump and hence got no job in India for the meager education he has got. The jobs here are only for Post Graduates and not Graduates. So on being advised went ahead and did his masters from London I believe Greenwich. Now this time he was hit again but only by I.T. boom in India. The paradox being that he gets a job with one of the most prestigious org. Oracle App. U.K. but for management positions. And our man wasn't looking for a managers chair come along he did techi degree for nothing. To this the management, Oracle apps manament has to say "Sir all our techie jobs have been moved to India and infact every other company here has shifted their biz to India. So now he gets no Job in U.K.
Well if things for him would have ended here but no. After living his life to lees and loving the Queen to core with a heavy heart he had to come back to where he "actually belonged" and start looking for job. Like you would have guessed by now again no jobs for him. Why?? Well he is too qualified for the jobs in here. And the kinda jobs he is looking were only given to Graduates and not Post Graduates. Well the job isn't at all different from what he was looking for earlier when he was told we only need Post Graduates and not Graduates heheheheheheh.
So how do I connect to Ayan? We met in train on our way to Bangalore. He was on for his interview at Oracle, where he was told the above, and me back to my college from my hols. I have had umpteen number of encounters on train I could share with all. And I have more often then not ended up making great Pals with the ones I meet on train. One of them is this. Well I promised him a few contacts of some H.R. in case he doesnt make it to Oracle as destined. Upon reaching Bangalore I just delivered as promised as and when required and was in touch with him for sometime during his harder days, and as God will have it lost him too.
Well we lost each other and infact had no memory of him any more. Well but then again one fine day some two years latter my phone rang.. and it was him again. More than happy i was surprised that the man would remember me or even bother to call me. Come along not many do it these days.
And Guess what he one of my contacts of high leverage has worked out for him. Lucky he. He has been working there since and been out for a long while and hence says wasnt able to drop a line and he goes on to add that yet was sure that would meet me up to thank me for all my help. Oh come along wht help some contact numbers and just putting you through a couple of people I dont think that thats too much to remember someone for. Well I haven't met many who do so.
And we did meet and relieved those moments of his hardship.
After long did he call me up again and with the same alacrity to see me up. Just plain simple gagging nothing else. Well really made me glad that the man still luks forward to see me up...

Well m left speechless..
Cheers to life...

The Best Kept Secrets..

Trudging down the aisle of life how often are we are led to believe that our worst kept secrets are actually kept secret from the ones we would rather not share with. And those who come to know our secrets they keep it close to their bosoms for reason more then we could think of. Some would use it to get back at you(revenge they say),while others not to hurt others. I right now fall in the second half of it. And m doing all I can to for someone to know that the secrets they keep from me are the secrets I would never know. Yet I would want them to know that tis no use keeping it from me for I know it all. Every bit much more than they could ever think of. Or may be slightly less. But I cant help it...... or Can I??

Provoking Thots..

Knowing wht is right to do and doin wht is right to do are two different realms of life.. More often then not we know or if I m allowed to say even are sure wht is right but then then the hassles arrive only when we decide to do. To shackle all status quo is difficult task for us all. Even though we know that the rewards of the errand run are pretty high, not till we are sure that stakes are high do we make the move. Then comes the part of trail. The move where we have to make the move based on our decisions and for this we have our Lord's Prayer "Save us from the time of Trail".
How many of us have grossly sinned in looking out for someone to pin up for what has completely been our own decision. This thought was provoked by someone very dear to me stating that "Owning up to my own decisions at the end of the day alone seems valid to me". The person spoken of in here further says, no tis the way everyone in the world behave. Well well wht to say but magnanimous. Wish half the ppl around get such magnanimity the world for sure will be much finer a place to live.
How difficult is it to own up to ones own thot and how easy to get someone to be the escape goat for erring we err. The last few weeks have been really horrendous for me and serves as fine example for this. It has pained me deeply to see that this is the real world. Not to say i m idealist but may be I gotta get groomed better for this world. People all over, no matter who, are just been around to hog up all the lime light. It doesnt even count, no matter it belongs to them or not, If it is coveted(desired by all) it is their. Everyone is out there just to snatch what belongs, not to them and I m perfectly meddled(confused) whom to trust and whom to look up to? The answer here comes is that You know the right answer is none but then again the right thing to do isnt tht.
Then again my neighbour at work a nice lady of grace(atleast is pretty nice to me), the things she told me("sayin inspite of being a lady myself I say") and wht my mentor taught me mostly abt the fairer sex(gals) and how it completely falls in line wid my own exp wid that someone dear.. Ofcourse what they were saying wasnt something very nice and i had to take it with a pinch of salt(very bitter).. Jees all i can hope is tht it not being true. For if it were true, I would loose all my hope in humanity..
GOD Save my Soul.. In thee I trust my Heart..
So Long...
