It's a Complicated World

I have a strange attachment to people.

My Life, I have tended to bother a lot about what people think. What would someone think if I did this or I did that or said this or said that.

There is a part of me that always wants to breakaway and just live life on my terms and not bother about the rest of the world.

But is that really me. I have never considered myself a Non Conformist by any stretch of imagination. I have always been the run of the mill guy that loves his life, Love the people around him. I guess at some level I just like to be surrounded by people and make people laugh.


I know I must have spoken about this a lot, but really one thing in my life that has always been true is my desire to see a smile on the face of people around me. I Love seeing people smile. That just the way I am I guess.

There are sometimes when I wonder if it is being very soft or very concerned about the rest of the world. Although, I have been saying that I am a people person, Am I?

I do mean it when I say I love being around people. But, I am kinda closed off. There are parts of my life I don't talk about. Well that's me. Anyway, there are still some people in this world who are to me beyond words. They are more to me that anything in this world. These are the only people who know the entire me. So is the case with most of us in this world.

A lot of people think they know me. Well they do, but the entire me? Nah, I don think so. Even I don't know me. That's why I think this world is so complicated. I can't make sense of it.

I guess the best way I know how to live my life is to be positive about whatever happens to me. I of course get angry, disappointed, frustrated. But, I'm committed. I'm Committed to live my life to the fullest. Life is not all Money N Work N blah blah.. .There is a lot of Heart involved. Live Life with all your Heart and you can get up and rock on everyday.

Well That's what I think anyway.

I love this space. This space where there is no rules, no laws, no regulations. I am ME. My tribute to Rahul Blah. My Blog, My Website. This is me.

Most of my blogs are similar, this is life. My life.

Chill Out. Have Fun

3 Weeks - 21 Days - 504 Hours - 30240 Minutes

It has been 3 Weeks since I came to the States.

I have to be very frank, not found too much different in this city from home. Chennai and Irving are different in many ways but in advancement, in technology, in freedom, in openness they are at par with one another. Of course there is more in Chennai than there would ever be in this city. Irving is a place where there is not much but my work. Chennai is home. No Comparison.

The Work is different, the work is great. I love the work. It's not so different that I cannot compare it with my job in India, it's just that the atmosphere is different.

My Life is Eating, Sleeping, Cooking and Working. This is my life these 3 weeks. Let's see what else happens. Lets See.

My Life

In My Life, I have been very fortunate to have come into this world with a silver spoon in my mouth. I have not been denied one need or one comfort. I have always been helped through every step in my life.

In My Life, I have seen the most hard working people, who are extremely dedicated to their professions come up on their own two feet and are now at wonderfully successful positions in their career.

In My Life I have met people who are concerned with nothing but money and for whom, love and family were secondary.

In My Life I have met people who change colors like the day changes to night, who behave one way today and another way the next.

In My Life I have met people who are so loyal, so affectionate, so friendly, so helpful. That you wonder how you lived the years before you knew them.

In My Life I have met people who love to make you feel lesser than them. (Well that could also do with my own complexes :-) )

In My Life I have met people who live life like there is no tomorrow.

In My Life I have met people who live life and try to spread joy every moment along the way.

In My Life I have met people who will tell you the truth no matter what. They believe that the truth needs to be told. (I really respect people who do that.)

In My Life I have met people who don't understand some limits of friendship, some feelings of others.

In My Life I have met people who live in their own world, who don't care what the rest of the world thinks, who think that there is no one they need to justify their life to anyone.

In My Life I have met people for whom work is worship, work is life. Work is their world.

In My Life I have met people who fall so deeply in love that being without their other half is like tearing a part of themselves out of them.

But in My Life I find it very difficult to out myself down in a line. I am a combination of all these people in one way or the other. I have the good and the bad in me, I am in some way a person evolved from all these people I have met.

All Of us, All of us can make such a list. This list will if nothing else tell you who the people who impact you life the most are. The people who make you what you are. The good or the bad the things we take in our lives to make it whole.

P.S : Please If you know me, Don't try and find yourself in any of these people. This Blog was not meant to offend anyone. It's just a post about my Life. My Life alone. So I could all well be that all these people are in one way me, or I at least wish they were or never wish to become.

Note : Please let me know If any of you think anything about this post is too hurting. Sorry If it is. Please understand this is a personal blog and nothing else.

So how Important is English?

English. The language we all speak everyday. The language I am writing this in now. How important is this language. What would you do if you did not know English? Well I guess you would not be reading my blog for starters.

Anyway the idea of this post is to talk about the various different types of English. I mean we all speak the same language right. How come we don't understand each other at times? Of course I am not talking about what I am writing here, it's more about spoken English. Why does it sound so different.

English is second nature to most of us. So when you speak to a person from another country, but still speaking the same language it feels very different when you strain to understand what they are saying. Is it an inadequacy in our understanding or is it just that English is not one language but many, Indian, Asian, American, Australian, European, and the English English. Maybe we all speak similar languages, not the same. It has the same script but sounds different. But it serves the same purpose. We can communicate.

Well we have to agree that it is the only language that most of the world can understand. That's how important this language is.

P.S : Rambled on a bit in this post. It's a bit incoherent. Well just felt like writing. It happens I guess.

A New Life.

My Life...

It's the same one that I came into this world with 23 years ago.
These 23 years have had ups and downs, they have had a lot of joy and it's share of sadness.
This life has definitely had a lot of learning though..
The good or the bad there has been a lot I have learned on the different aspects of life...

Life for each individual means something different. Life is just everything that happens to us everyday.

My New Life, I, A person who lived almost all his life in the same country in the same city moving to a New Country and New style of life is a major change of gears.

I have so much at Home.. So many people extremely dear to my heart. This change triggers so many parallel emotions at the same time that it is really difficult to process.

Especially for me a person that loves his family and friends so much.. There are certain people in all our lives that has such an effect that we find ourselves partly hollow when that person is taken away from our side..

I know I am writing this with my Love in my mind, I know how much she means to me and I to her.

But there are also some other people, Some people who mean as much to me. Those people who taught me how to talk how to walk and made me the person I am today. My Parents. They mean so much to me, they are so much of my world that without them around it feels too different. Who does not love their parents. We all do.. Most of us as we grow stop showing it.. But the fact that they are an integral part of our lives never ceases to be true..


My Sister(Mu Bolli ho to kya, who meri apni behan ki tara hai mere liye) my listening post my best friend, too much for me to say. There are no words for this girl. She's just great...

These people are my Life, these people are my world.. This new country This new city cannot change that.. My Family is my Life...

Contemplative......

Rahul...


P.S : I know although this post says nothing about my love, there is a really big reason for that. I find it too difficult to speak about someone that is my world. Someone that is the reason for this heart beating.. MY LIFE.
