An Embarassing Moment

Usually I have the habit of becoming excited when I listen to my favourite music compositions and irrespective of the location I have the habit of lending my voice to the compiosition and spoiling it for eternity or thats wat my friends say ;).Yeah I know u guys would have already started pitying the people who r nearby;). An incident of this sort happened when I was in Hyderabad. On that eventful(really eventful? naaaaahhhhhh) I was listening to songs and mind u that was the first time I was listening to songs in office and that too without my best pal(the mainframe as we call him) around.I still remember that the song was "Vizhikalil arukinil vaanam..."Its one of my all time favourite and after hearing that how on earth will I not sing? I started as I normally do at my home or for that matter anyother place.
On that day there were two colleagues who moved in nearby to our cubicle.I guess they would have had a shock of their life when they heard me singing or atleast thats wat my friend DON as we call her recalls that incident. I never noticed that they were around but some time later I recalled that I was in office and stopped all of a sudden.But unfortunately I never knew that those two collagues were having a gud laugh;) Later on Don told me that incident and initially I felt embarassed (I stress it again "initially").I am happy that on that day there were not many people.Or else there would have been permanent damage to their olfactory lobes;)

And guys u know wat after that,its only today I m listening to songs when I m at office and I m finding it difficult to control .....
Fanaa.... from Yuva ....... Me about to break in to a dance step....

Holding Tongue in Check

The other day when I was reading Dada's interview, the only thought that crossed my mind was "How can we control our tongue without reacting too much when we are angry?" I have asked this question many a times to myself because I m a firm believer of the fact that words exchanged at the heat of the moment stays on forever ..... Sometime back I was of the opinion that walking out of that situation without opening your mouth is the best option. But having done a controversial walkout in Hyderabad for which even now I repent I have to admit that I have changed my strategy (Strategy ;) ).Nowadays I just react as if nothing has happened. Already I have a habit of not showing my emotions in my face and with this no one can guess whether I am angry or not. I have to admit that I have been quite successful in many a occasions. Even yesterday during a argument with my brother I was completely pissed of.But I did not argue with him. After that one sided discussion I was actually happy for the fact that I never even uttered a word. I really enjoyed that feeling of able to control the emotion ;).I got a high kick(like a tequila shot ;) ) infact that was the second time on the same day. The other one was with a team member. I enjoyed every bit of the ability to control your emotions(Not the actual moments though). The one which I will cherish forever was the one that happened in Hyderabad. A group of 20 people including me ,went to Ramoji Film City(The most boring place in this whole world or atleast I felt it that way).When we were waiting for our turn for a ride, two people jumped the line and stood in front of us. I and my friend were red in anger. My friend started shouting. For some strange reason I did not shout nor did I react. I just said to my friend that’s ok leave them. Then as soon we went inside for the ride I opted for the bumper car which was next to one of the person who jumped the line. I started targeting him and was actually very successful in colliding my car on his car repeatedly. He literally got pissed of and was shouting in Hindi. But I ignored him completely. That was fun.

Even now I will have to admit that at times I show my temper to my parents. Maybe the fact that they r my parents and they can accept my true self(short tempered Balaji) makes me react this way ;).

Dada, if you have really reacted the way newspaper reports claims to be I feel it would have been better had you voiced your views after the series. Even after this incident you r my role model because, after all you are human and humans have the liberty to err. ;)

Zindagi mein thoda compromise karna hain ....

This was the dialogue that stood out when I saw Rock On. What a movie....
Nice way to begin a week.Actually I was about to write my admission essays when I thought why not watch this movie.I watched it and enjoyed every bit of it. It reminded me of my ITLECTS and LN gang. The spirit of living for others is the one that stands out when u are in a Gang.
Coming back to this film, the best part of the film was that no one is perfect(including Farhan Akhtar).Each one had a bit of grey attitude with them which is absolutely true in our every day life.
"Zindagi mein thoda compromise karna hai ...."
Do we really have to? I guess so. Before letting ur imaginations run wild let me make myself clear that it does not mean that one should compromise in one's core values to achieve whatever they want.Last week one of my friend asked me an interesting question."You said u felt homesick in Bangalore when u stayed there only for a month then what made u to quit the current job u r in and join a company in Bangalore".I guess the answer for that question would be "Zindagi mein thoda compromise karna hai ".

Btw guys I was planning to post a small writeup of "25 years of my life".But boredom creeped in when I was in 10th year of my life.So I have shelved it for now.Lets see whether I will be able to make it up before the "D" Day.
