FriendShip...

Well it took me a few days to complete this blog as i wanted to ensure that everything that is related to the topic which is wonder to me, is plotted well through my words.

When we say the word FRIENDSHIP, what does it mean to you? for me it brings back countless memories of good old days, long lost friends, my dear good friends and newly met acquaintances.
Days have not been the same with all those reality lifestyle lately, where people move on and get caught with their own life over the time.

For instance, during my younger days, friendship with my school friends was like the most important thing there is ever, i mean EVER! We would do everything the same way. buy the same clothing, will have the same type of school shoes, pen, pencils and even the same pencil box.. (hahahahha).
* but it was fun to do it..and when I think of those things, it was just too hilarious.
We will ensure to call each other the moment we are at home after school, before sleep and during holidays.
I used to have groups of friends surrounding me all the time during the school days as I was very actively involved in curricular activities. *Thus, it was very norm to have a lot of friends.
There used to be this group of noisy and hyperactive girls, and then there was another group, who used to be so naive about everything and practically too quite to be around with.
This bunch of noisy girls were always up to something and sometime it was like there is a catfight all the time. There was once we were all counselled by the school teacher for being irresponsible towards our fellow classmates. *boo hoo. (I cant even remember her name now).

Then we moved on to our Secondary school life. Some moved on to different schools and some of us stayed on together.  Surprisingly years ahead was different than what we thought it would be like. Some of us stayed on together and became good friends during the years that followed. The friendship we had blossomed to become vital part in our daily life...
Though some moved on to different schools we manage to keep in touch and yeah for some it was tough to keep in touch.
*Yes I admit I'm one of those who finds it had to take the initiative to keep in touch..*boo hoo* ( im trying to get rid of those habit)

Then came the after school life, College days.. Again more friends were made.
This group was more of the naughty one's hanging outside of class most of the time. sneaking out for cigarette breaks (*me accompanying them), watching movies and heading back home late after classes, partying (except for me).
I would say this group was the adventurers in the city and the rebels within them were super demon. You know its pretty much the same story for all those college boys and girls. Right after their schooling days, they are just excited that the world is for them to venture and enjoy through and through with no boundaries. Hence, they became very excited for partying, clubbing and every sort of entertainment related activity other than education related one's.

The life just kept moving on. There were just no end to it.
Each time All these new friendship comes into our life and it feels like something we have lost along the way in our life where we just sort of pick it up from where we left off. Doesn't it amazes you how someone from such a different background, different place could just click into this bonding called Friendship..

I've been meeting a lot of new people. Practically every week because I'm busy going for some outdoor activities.
It just adorns me how fascinating the relationship bonds together between this people and myself.
For instances, I met this group of guys and gals over a trip. I barely know them, however we blended so well and we have already started planning other trips together.
More than 10 years ago I met this chubby, naive boy (i would say) in college. We are such good buddy's that we could share anything and could never lie to each other.
How is that and why do we feel its a necessity and why cant we stay away from this relationship.

Well I'm still amazed, how could you connect to someone and be attached to them in this single bonding called friendship.

Daily Life Learning

Its interesting and fascinating to re-call what are those things we actually learn on daily basis in our life.
Its also fun and silly when our brain goes like --- *wow-its interesting, I didn't know that, shacks-why didn't I think of that, hmmm- I learned something today*.

I was reading through the Yahoo News reel.. and a unique word caught my eye (I have this habit of instantly google'ing a word to search the meaning if i dont understand) - Impromptu
Some might think like "what you didn't know that"... I couldnt care less, coz sometimes that's how i learn and progress.
Coming to my point, it excited me that when I read about the meaning, it's actually a new learning and addition to my dictionary.. and i went like *Hey you learned something new today*
Again the excitement is genuine.

To continue with my learnings....
I learned lately that I could not get my eyes of my laptop desktop screen saver picture of this handsome Golden Retriever. I'm pretty sure I'm getting one of this fellows soon... 

Moving on in my list I started having an incline towards nature. The beauty of tree, sky, river, hills, mountains and everything inside that jungle gives me peace of mind. I learned that the serene beauty of the woods can never be enough to me now. My mind races towards time now to see as much as possible and as fast as i could possibly imagine.
I knew photography was very exciting, but when I started learning how to look at the beauty of what I want to capture into my camera's memory, it just dawns me that there is more to it then taking the pictures.
It requires an artistic and creative view. the whole new perspective in observation skills and the most important the visualization of the photographer.....there is just no end to it. *wink*

I'm happy that I'm getting to know more people every other day. I feel elated for all the new friendship as I realized I'm learning to see new things without borders..

I've also learned I can never be away from my family for a long period of time.. I'm just so addicted to them because of the pampering and love given at all times. (even tough I'm so grown up now).

I learned that every time I encounter an unfortunate event or an unforeseen situation in my life, there's always someone there by my side. Do I call my self gifted or have I learned to appreciate abundance of love from my loved one's...

This list is just a snippet from what I learn to acknowledge from life on daily basis..

There could never be an end to this list and I strongly feel if you learn to understand and appreciate all this small joys and abundance the life has to offer to you, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL and WE WILL LIVE IT EXCITINGLY...

Adventure back to Nature

Nature..
Description from a dictionary. interesting :)
noun

1.

the material world, especially as surrounding humankind andexisting independently of human activities.

2.

the natural  world as it exists without human beings orcivilization.

3.

the elements of the natural  world, as mountains, trees,animals, or rivers.

4.

natural  scenery.

5.

the universe, with all its phenomena.

To me, it means going to back to the beauty that has been holding us and breathing for us for decades and centuries.
For some it would be the tranquillity of the view and for some what the beautiful mother nature has to offer.
I have concluded that its the both for me. and every time it gives me a sense of belonging and peace to the ever lasting stress I go through in my daily ordeal of the leaving under the crowding space formed by the sky scrappers in city life.

Well one of the adventure was this trip we made to Taman Negara over the weekend. it was a 3D 2N getaway with bunch of friends. it involved driving, eating, camping, BBQ'ing, trekking, rapid shooting and etc..

The National Park is located at Pahang, Malaysia. 

To start the journey with a bang, we decided to take the route through another exhilarating spot - Bukit Fraser. 

Apparently the famous Clock tower in Fraser's Hill. 

We did a pit stop in Bukit Fraser for breakfast and then continued our journey by cruising the small town and all the other beautiful spots up this hill. 

We went on to Bentong for our Lunch and then yummy yummy home made ice cream in Bentong town. 

Finally we hit the highway and head towards Taman Negara via Temerloh and Jerantut. It was fun 2 1/2hours journey I spent with 3 wonderful ladies. 

Walahh at 5pm (not sure if exactly) we reached destination. 

We checked in to our Resort. 

Due to time constraint started packing the necessity for night adventure at the Taman Negara with our camping tent, food for BBQ, and our sleeping bag. 

We had to rush as the sun was dawning and worry of no lights started to worry us.. but guessed what it looked more like a camp at the backyard of house. 

This are some interesting photo's I managed to capture. 

the endless beauty of the nature in this woods is absolutely breathtaking. the shadows of the tree leaves, the sounds of the unknown creatures to me were an adventure. 

I'm definitely looking forward for a another round of trip into this jungle that has millions of years old mystery that one could only look, enjoy and mesmerise. 

Love at First Sight

What do you think when you hear those words..
Where does it lead your imagination to, when those words pops in front of you...

Well for me, those words are the rendition of some lovey dovey, rom-com, Indian movie that depicts the illusions of the senseless mind and the imagination that follows there after.

Well for one, I was watching the Bollywood version of a movie "Kal Ho Na Ho" yesterday night on tv....hmmmm..
This suddenly boggled my mind to initiate the idea that's been blabering too long in my head on what it feels like and how it makes you feel.
A very good example of the "Love at First Sight" delusion that is portrayed fantastically that you yourself could feel "Love is in the air" when watching the movie. Well that's the real drama and talent of the movie makers.

Well, I don't deny there could be such thing but how does one re-act to it and the way it is narrated in the movie's are phenomenal. With all those, slow motion, eye-catchy captions of one's movement (the eye, hair, lips,,,wala wala and etc...), the creativity blend, its just too difficult not too feel anything. Yet there is a pleasantry feeling watching these movies no matter how many times.
Me being the true Indian I am, could never deny the prodigious effect these movies leaves to you which makes me go for more..

First Attempt

Well, this should be a new adventure. I have no interest with blog but lately looking at the ever growing and interesting blog sphere on the net. I had this urge in my mind *WHY NOT?*. I guess it is to spill my mind and words out to see where it could lead me too...

Wa laaaa..So here I am, with my first ever blog.

A friend of mine posted on his FB wall on his predicament of understanding whether we have the control of our fate and if it can be controlled?
There was a lot of interesting posting done by his friends, some really funny ones.
I also tried to relate it to a conversation I recently had with an acquaintance over some drinking session in Damansara.
Well we had this small argument sake conversation that we pretty much talked about how Hinduism is perceived and related to one's life and after life. He had this interesting fact, saying that our life is very much depicted in relation to another person's life. How do we prove it?

In Indian/tamil culture in ancient days, the Nadi astrology has been vastly believed and it is something written on palmyra leave (referred to google not sure if it's the right word) that will have short notes that explains one's life. This note(s) will pretty much match one's life very accurately. However, there are instances this can be varied. In order, to match one's life, the astrologer will have to find one after another the notes by reading it one by one. *its a tedious and long process I heard*

In this notes there will be some fascinating facts, which some will find to their astonishment to be very true and some might not be. If its found not to be true or does not match, this astrologer will have to find the next most accurate note. 

This will go on and on till the recent and future incidents in life matched to the person. And for some they will take this as a guidance for their life ahead.

I can say this, as my own twin sister had the real life experience in India some time back. 

But how is it possible for one person to tell us, on what happened (past) in our life (be it very personal or general ones) based on some notes written on a leave that dates back to hundreds of years. 

*The conclusion from this is that, our life's are clustered based on the generic incidents that has happened in people's life in the past. 

Based on what I heard and seen this might be true, but whether I believe it or not, it is sincerely yet to be confirmed as I have not experienced it myself. 

I have googled some reference reading in the internet that is pretty much interesting. Happy reading.

Moving to the question of the day, I do believe that one has the potential of carving his own fate and life. For instances, I claimed to have experienced a bad morning and decided to be moody throughout the day without acknowledging anyone for the entire day. I choose to isolate myself by switching my Hand phone off. What will happen if there is a potential prospect for a new job, new friend or something rather beneficial for me. I will loose it, right. 

But what if I decided to change my perception over the morning incident and let it pass and live the life as normally I would. During this time, will I be losing the opportunity that's coming way? I believe NO. 

Hence, I would say I do have control over of my life and fate.
