A 'living' guide...

We learn lessons in everyday life from everyone we come across in life. Although few seem to be impractical and hard to apply, sometimes we do follow and sometimes we don't, depending on our comfort zone. Some of them written here are framed by me and few others were from experts in different walks of life...I read, learnt, experienced and found the essence of it.

1. Katradhu Kaiman alavu kalladhadhu ulagaluvu - There is never an end to learning
2. When you don't realize a mistake as a mistake, you will never get a chance to correct it
3. If one door closes, another one opens
4. You can never force anyone to love you. It has to come within
5. Never ask or advise anyone to do something that you wouldn't do
6. In your career, think yourself as a CEO of your project. You will never fail to deliver since the loss is accountable to you
7. Make a self decision on anything. If it goes wrong, you are completely responsible for it. You wont have anyone to blame and you will learn a lot from it. If it goes right, you will be the most happiest person for doing so..
8. If you listen to people who praise you, you should listen to people who criticize you as well patiently, in the same way as you do for the praise you get
9. Never hurt anyone intentionally
10. If you have a misunderstanding with any relationship in your life, stopping to talk is not the solution. If that's the case, no relationship can thrive in this world
11. If you like to do something which is not dependent on anyone, go for it. Never go with the opinion of the mass of people. It's you who is going to get satisfaction out of it
12. Don't rely on a 'give & take' policy in life. You'll fail miserably sometimes. If you feel like giving, do it but do not expect something back
13. If any failure comes to you, don't fret. Failure teaches more lessons than Success
14. Being responsive is a key to connectivity. If you don't respond, be it email, a phone call or anything, you need to realise that it's going to hit you back sometimes when you expect someone to be responsive to you
15. What you sow is what you reap. If you follow this, you will never do a wrong thing in life

T'R'ibute

It's a long overdue post that I wanted to write about this couple which in a way has led me to write more here. It's not only about that couple but the ones that I like or maybe we can call that I am a fan of these 'R's. Let's check it out (Do I sound like a TV anchor? ;))

1. Ross, Rachel n Relationship: Being an avid F.R.I.E.N.D.S fan and Ross's, I couldn't stop praising this lovely relationship that shaped itself in all the episodes. They say that hate each other, date others around but finally reaching each other and unable to give up their relationship, the emotions that behold, the way Ross reacts and tries to stop her from boarding a flight, when Ross tries to date Charlie and how Rachel feels about it...I simply love to see them in action and in their emotional bonding.
2. Rehman: It looks like I have been writing more about ARR nowadays...maybe golden globe and oscar nomination hit me badly :) If I had to list out the songs that I like from his creation and innovation, my hands will go feeble....But a song from his voice which can bring tears to many and a feeling to most of us is my top pick - Vellai Pookal. Everyone who loves music (who doesn't?) will have one particular song for which they say that they can just die by listening to it. To me, it's this particular song from Kannathil Muthamittal. I wish I could get a chance to see one of his live concerts in my lifetime.
3. Robin Sharma: I love reading his books. 'The Greatness Guide' is one that I can read anytime. The thoughts that are endorsed in his book with practical examples is simply amazing. This motivational guru's next creation - I am waiting for it!
4. Renu: Not a known celebrity; Unless you watch Vijay TV's Airtel Super Singer 2008, you wouldn't know her. People talk about gifted voice, but if it's a truth that I can see it, that belongs to this girl. The breath control, the sustenance, the diction, the wholesome voice, the emotion...wat else is needed to listen to? She can mesmerize anyone by her voice :) And another gift that she has, being humble. I wish she reaches the finals and become the lady voice of the year!
