Well, here comes the question I have in my mind from a very long time and recently formed a structure that helped me to understand the content and depth in a better way.
The eternal question is why we humans want to be free of everything that we assumed would bring peace and harmony to the society. The question is why we want to break the rules that we set for proper functioning of the system as a whole. The question is why we do not like ourselves for what we are and yearns to be someone else and in the process lose ourselves. The question is why we consider the most joyous moments are the ones in which we forget who we are. The question is why we like chaos.
Just for example, consider Mumbai local trains. The process to aboard a train is full of chaos, where people take pride in shouting, running ruthlessly, abusing others and thus making hell of a situation.
Is that we are so obsessed with the rules that we make for more controlled situations control us in a manner that we no longer remember the purpose of existence of the same rules. Is that what we want is a place to vent our frustrations and do not care about the guy in the other end for even a second, and carry on with the life as if it didn’t happen or it doesn’t matter.
Well who knows, gods must be really crazy and intelligent to develop us to what we are now...

Excellence
Yes, Excellence. I think it is not just a term, it is a process. If u ask me to give the best example for it, my answer would be Nature. Every process that nature adopts is an example of Excellence in doing things. Achieving it is quite a difficult task that involves lot of things that every HR personnel emphasises(donno how far they follow their own principles). So, here I'm mentioning this after watching a movie called 3 Idiots. As usual like previous Rajkumar Hirani and Vidu vinod chopra combination the movie is filled with humour that tries to convey something, be it heartful nature or Gandhian values. I think this time they have decided to show Excellence as their value and for this they chose Aamir khan as he's appropriate for Excellence in his own way. So, roughly the takeaway from the film is Excellence is followed by Success, though one has to be patient.
Now, we in our daily lives see lot of individuals, but somehow we perceive some of them to be quite satisfactory than others. This may be because of two reasons, one they don't care where their lives are going and the other who care, plan and execute what they think, plan to achieve. In this movie we see all the idiots excelling in whatever field they select. So, we care or maybe envy people like them and today I have heard a lecture from a person like him for the second time. The most engrossing part in the whole lecture was the way he was able to connect and cover the various issues that are arising out of discussion.I wish him all the luck and from bottom of my heart thank him for letting us know the things in a very interesting manner.
So, may be to become like them, we have to ask some of the toughest questions like what do we expect from life. Hope we get answers soon.

Chilukuru Venkateswara Swamy
On Sunday,27th Dec 2009, I visited the most famous and widely renown temple of Lord Venkateshwara in Chilukur, Hyderabad.
To know about the history of temple, Please visit: http://chilkurbalajitemple.blogspot.com/
This temple has a special significance in many ways, some of them are
1) There is no Hundi in the temple
2) It is believed that Lord is miraculous in fulfilling the wishes and aspirations of devotees.All the devotee has to do is believe in God and do 11 pradakshinas and pray for her wish.Once it gets fulfilled they have to do 108 pradakshinas.
We can observe a lot of youngsters doing this for the widely acclaimed "VISA" stamping.
There is also a Lord Shiva's temple adjacent to the Lord Balaji's temple.
Timings of the Temple : 5AM - 8PM
The good thing is we visited the temple at around 5:30PM and by the time the pradakshinas got over it was around 7:30PM.At that point of time they have allowed us inside the Sanctum Sanctorum of the temple and we were lucky enough to be very near to the deity and stay for some time.
They was also a call for volunteers to sell books(Rs5-Rs20/- each) and distribute Prasadam.
Overall it was a very good and happy experience, even though i had blisters on my feet that made me not to walk the following day(:-)). So I request all devotees to start early and do the Pradakshinas in a slow and study manner.Be careful with hot Sun as it may be the case if you go in the morning.
The temple is normally crowded and very crowded on Weekends and Holidays, but may be good if u go at 5-6AM.
These are some details about the route etc..,
Bus:6,5K,39-from Secunderabad to Mehdipatnam
Bus : 288D-from Mehdipatnam to Balaji Temple
Auto:20Rs(Sharing)
Distance:30KM(Approx.)
Road Condition:Good
Hope you too have a memorable trip.

Books to Read
Hi Fellas,
This is my first blog, so pretty excited about it.It's very nice that this blogging phenomenon has touched me and i started My Blog.As this is my First Blog I would like to share about some of the books i read and found very intersting and i'm pretty sure that they give u a better idea about things that go around us, provided our thinking processes match.
1)Rich Dad Poor Dad
This is a book that i guess is a must read one, the way the author tries to describe about the importance of wealth and asset creation stands outstanding.If you are looking for something new which can satisfy ur appetite to earn money and things like that, this wud be of great help.
2)Fountain Head
This book indirectly urges Readers to look for Reasons before commiting an action.It's about an Architect who stands on his priciples at any cost.This gives a lot of importance on a concept call 'Constructive Selfishness' which emphasizes us to live for ourselves and not sacrifice our true self for anything.The story revolves around 5-6 interesting characters and really a good one to read.
