Hello Again..
Smile Please :-)
It has been a week long.I am back to the blog.I hereby proved that i am self disciplined enough till now at least in my blogging activity.
I have taken away some good as well as bad memories with me during these seven days.
I hope you too would have faced many.As a whole it is a nice experience and i started enjoying each and every moment of this beautiful life.
The reason for writing about 'Brindavan' express in this post is very simple.I traveled today in it as i usually do every month whenever i come from bangalore to chennai.
Ya,I work in bangalore and my hometown is chennai.Its almost 3 years now i moved to bangalore from chennai.I would say its one of my bad decision i have ever taken but may be it is a good decision when i think about it in future.
I am speaking about myself instead of the train right..i can understand...sorry for that.here you go..
Let me give some information about this train,it will be useful for those who hear it for the first time.This train connects the metropolitan city Chennai and the so called cosmopolitan city Bangalore.It takes exactly 6 hours to reach one city from the other.And it runs daily,without any tiredness.The departure from chennai is in the morning 7 a.m and will reach bangalore at 1 p.m and the departure from bangalore is in the evening 2.30 p.m and will reach chennai at 8.30 p.m.
Disclaimer:May be the timings would have been changed in due course of time.
I exactly don't remember the travel i made for the first time in this train.But for sure i liked that journey.I usually get attracted to the things that i liked the most for the first time.That's my habit.Everybody have their own habits right and they like to do the way their heart says.i am not an exception.
There are multiple reasons behind my likes towards 'Brindavan'.The first and foremost reason is that i can bunk my office half a day on Friday,having a valid reason(the departure time in bangalore) lolz...and the other reasons are its a sitting journey but you can also sleep while sitting,ticket fare which is less relatively and i will reach my sweet home in chennai by friday night itself and the important reason is that i can have my Amma's delicious home food.
And one more information i want to share with you guys.Its all about the way i catch this train.I am crazy about it.Have you ever heard a man who had the gutz to start from a place at 2.40 pm which is around 10 kilometers long from the railway station(KR Puram) to catch a train whose departure time is at 2.50 pm.If you have never heard about such a man,you are fortunate.Here i am.Yes,there are sometimes where i went with my team to have lunch and left the restaurant exactly 10 minutes before the departure of the train.You may think i am a fool,but i am crazy about it.You will know my state of mind after reading posts.
Apart from all the reasons mentioned above,i always find some new interesting friends during my journey.Finding new friends is not that easy you know.Sometimes my friends will also join with me in the journey.Once one of my friends planned to join with me for the first time and somehow she gave up due to unavoidable circumstances.I will write about her in a separate post.Yes,she is such a special person to me in my life.Yes,i mean it.
And the learnings i gained during the journey is also a lot.Because we tend to see different characters of different ages during our day journey in the train which is not at all possible during the night journey.Night journey in the train is like goto your bed,have a nice sleep.No fun at all.We are doing that and we can do that at home any time.Whats the purpose of the travel then?Just one more info,I hate to sleep.
I would like to list some of the interesting characters i have met during my journey.
I have met a interesting 5 year old boy,a very cute and intelligent kid who shared lot of his ambitions and also a old man from whom i learnt a lot about share market and also about the book 'Rich Dad,Poor Dad'.
Once i met a person who work in railways and he shared the knowledge on how the railways work and the kind of IT infrastructure in railways and later sometime i met a lady who shared many interesting things about 'Carnatic Music'...the list goes on.
We tend to see people with different qualities and sometimes smile at them.Who knows there are some occasions some found their life partner during their day journey in 'Brindavan'.No need to pay for matrimonial sites.Just the ticket cost.This is called Cost-Effectiveness.'One stone hitting two mangoes'.
The point i am trying to make here is that,'WORK' is not the only part of our life,'HOME' is not the only place in our life,'RELATIVES' are not the only people with whom we live.We need to roam around different places,find different people,do different things and learn from the experiences.Until or unless we open up,nobody will join us on their own.Let us correct ourselves by doing some mistakes.Let us do some mistakes by involving ourselves to some event that we have never done before.
There are lot of surprises waiting for us to be gifted by the next second in our life.So let us stop worrying too much about a single incident and let us go beyond in whatever things we like and let us enjoy ourselves in this single beautiful life.
Life is beautiful.Once again,I mean it.
See u friends soon.
Until then cheers from,
Karthik

Life is beautiful
Hello Everybody..
I myself would like to give a warm welcome to me to this blog world.
I remember this is the third time i am welcoming myself to write a blog.What i try to say is that i have already given two attempts and terribly failed in it.
There should be a reason for every cause in this world.I am also part of this beautiful world.You know,whenever i use the word 'World' i am very much happy to say that i am one among the billion just like a drop in the ocean.I think i am deviating from the topic as i usually do.I have a fundamental problem in expressing my thoughts to others what i really think without deviation.
Ya..i was speaking about the reason for every cause.There are enough reasons for me because of which i failed in my past attempts to continue writing blogs.As everybody do,i do had the interests initially in writing blogs for a week when i bought my personal laptop.The reason is simple.I want to engage my time in some useful way as most of my time in this city (Bangalore) where i work at present is useless.
Everything went fine for a week,after which nothing was going fine.Somehow i am not SELF-DISCIPLINED enough to continue writing the blogs.The reason is simple,i lack the passion towards it.This is not the only occasion,there are many to share like it.When i started analyzing this problem,i realized that i myself did such things in the past like 'Jogging','Gyming','Studying','Singing','blogging'..the list goes on and on. Everywhere i just started it because i felt bored with the other thing.To put it in other way,i give up since the things didn't work out.Just lame excuses..
There are both good and bad lessons learnt out of all the mentioned activity above.The good thing is my involvement in those activities and somehow i made myself busy living.I can't forget this quote 'Get busy living, or get busy dying' from the english film 'Shawshank Redemption'.I am happy that i chose the first one.Ok..excuse me once again i think i am deviating from the topic ha..
Ya i was speaking about the realization.It is a vital word which can change anybody's life.Believe me,i came to know most of my mistakes only after realizing it.Nobody can change other's life.The person should realize himself and act accordingly.And one more beautiful thing is that 'I realized GOD within myself'.Ya you can also try it but the time will answer you.
After the realization, i put my mind thinking on what could be done to overcome this problem and the answer is 'SELF-DISCIPLINE'.
There is a saying which goes like "The first and best victory is to conquer self".If a person has conquered his self then nobody can conquer him.It means he is on the right path.
Yes its easy to say anything in this world but tough to follow.And to follow the above one is like 'Standing on tip of the ice-berg'.So i decided myself atleast to start following self-discipline in whatever things am going to do now on.I don't know far i am going to keep up my words..but i wish and pray the almighty to help me and remind me whenever i am deviating out of it.
With that long passage,i would like to put an end to this post.
My closing remarks:
We have got only one life this one.Why to waste it.Lets make use of it.Lets start following good habits and behaviours which will guide us in a good path till the end of our life.Lets set ourself goals,principles and lets make sure not to give up those what may come in life and lets start realizing that all the good times and bad times in our life are the gifts/tests from the GOD.He will handle it on his own.
Life is beautiful.
Thanks for reading.See you with my next post.
Until then,
Cheers from Karthik.
