FIRE

fIRE is an element that has always fascinated me as many a times, i felt, i identified with it. Then one day i happen to go through this small book that i got as a compliment from a fair stall years back that had some titbits about compatibility with regards to zodiac... hmmm, now with my growing interest in zodiacs and the very much compatibility curiosity in my mind i decide to read through it with my brains on overdrive with its analysis.... and voila i realise that i am a fire sign...now i understand why the warm human in me turns ultra ferocious when provoked..... then i keep pondering about this for a while and explore another fact that i did write an analogue in my diary of my anger in comparison to the nature of fire, a snippet of this analogue is as follows....

I am fIRE. Every hurt and loss in my life is like fuel to the fire. The fire starts getting bigger and stronger with more fuel. And with time, the fire due to its strength from more fuel in it, stops giving warmth and starts burning down whatever thats on its way. The fire is feared due to its destructive force but all it wants is to give more warmth & light and thus get loved...But fire doesn't get to determine its purpose but the circumstances is what that fuels it...thus with time people learn to... Respect Fire, Fire knows no fear and it never shall!...A raging fire can convert water to steam, earth to ash and consume air of its life....A warm fire can make water usable to sustain life, give earth warmth and give shape&size to the invisible air by coexistence...

Now,now,now... this above snippet from my diary was written while i was expressing my anger through writings during some bad time... but a wisdom thought that has come to me NOW is that fire isn't just destructive by more fuel but can also get constructive with more fuel though it needs to control itself... and my source of this wisdom is none other than our life giving SUN and the other stars of our galaxy who are nothing but huge globes of fire with loads of fuel....So,so,so i come to the conclusion that control your anger and change(redirect) your energies for more useful purposes like our very own SUN!


P.S.: For all those curious souls out there reading this, the elements that identify with your zodiac are as follows,
THE FIRE ELEMENT: (ARIES March 21-April 19, LEO July 23-August 22, SAGITTARIUS November 22-December 21)
THE AIR ELEMENT: (GEMINI, May 21-June 21, LIBRA, September 23-October 22, AQUARIUS, January 20-February 18)
THE WATER ELEMENT: (CANCER, June 22-July 22, SCORPIO, OCTOBER 23-November 21, PISCES February 19-March 20)
THE EARTH ELEMENT: (TAURUS, April 20-May 20, VIRGO, August 23-September 22, CAPRICORN December 22-January 19)

And as far as compatibility of these signs are concerned its easy to figure out with the ease in which each gets along with the other, for example fire gets along well with air but not water and can coexist with earth… so just figure that out for yourself! U need to stimulate your brain cells too… and believe me its easy and worth the effort!

This is one of my motivational qoutes penned by me with a personal art creation infering the same!

An awesome quote on LAZINESS

Hey people this is a borrowed quote from Mohit Abraham that i am mentioning on this blog. All credits for this goes to my friend Mohit. The quote is "Laziness isn't lack of enthusiasm, it's just convenience".I can totally relate to this qoute with my present life choices. When i read this for the first time on his facebook account status, it striked me that i have stumbled upon a wisdom quote and i wud wanna give it more publicity, hence in my own small way i started blogging on this! Though my blog doesn't have any followers that i know of, even if a person stumbles on this it shall be worth the effort! Now thats enthusiasm though i am lazy to take more efforts to publicise this and hence take a convenient option of blogging to do so, now is that called living by the quote?!......

MORE the Merrier - Dr.Rahman

Its raining recognitions for this Oscar winner.... He is going to be conferred an honorary doctorate by Anna University, Chennai, which will be awarded to him in a special convocation. Now we will have to address our very own A.R.Rahman as Dr.Rahman.. and what more,he has got 2 more filmfare awards for his music in JTYJN[best music director] and jodha akbar[best BGM]...now since he is been getting 2 of each of his recent awards, I decide to write 2 blogs on him and thus the birth of the second blog from me for Rahman... I am sure he is figuring out where to keep all these awards...In the future if people open a museum for this genius, there will be enough and more memorabilia to keep in terms of awards..... He has won 25 filmfare awards in total till date... Thats a gigantic achievement.... uff,so this literally means in the past decade he has won every other filmfare for music... maybe a miss in a couple of years when he was busy with international projects..... Shame on all the Reshamiya's and Deva's out there who are happy in stealing other's music rather than creating original music... Now our maestro (Dr.)Rahman to add variety to his collection of awards will have to compose more foreign language music to get other countries regional awards since he has exhausted all possible national and international ones[except Grammys which i am sure will get to his cupboard soon].... Now this is whats called 'raining awards'.... On a personal front,he getting a Doctorate from Anna University seems a bigger achievement to me and that too doing stuff he likes to do...... For me to get my hard-earned Bachelor's degree in Engineering from this same university was a mountaineous struggle and achievement... Anyways atleast i can call him My Senior, an other way to address him now, since we have degrees from the same university... The only few good things about passing out of Anna university is that i can take pride in having seniors like Abdul Kalam and A.R.Rahman, their greatness gives me joy and pride.... I shall satisfy myself with these 2[again] feelings till i get my own recognition,,,LOL,,,now is this called self-belief or over confidence?!... Now while I finish this blog i am wondering whats this thing about 2 in everthing to do with Rahman in the recent past,he has got 2 oscars,2 FF's,this is my second blog and it covers 2 topics[his 'Dr' and FF award] on him.... Numerologists out there, get this figured out and lets have a frong page publication on this on a leading daily, now i need to get into suggesting news ideas, thats seems a better profession for me.... I will have to properly figure out what i need to do for sure before i dream of recognition,,,,haha...ha...

RECESSION

One day I was sitting by the beachside,

Looking at the rising tide.

There passed a bald guy,

With his big paunchy stride.

He seemed detached,

From the world that's attached.

Busy with his thoughts,

Dizzy with his walk.

His exercise of de-stressing himself,

Looked distressful in itself.

I keep looking at the tides,

Receding to the sea.

The fall of the tide resembles

The fall of the economy.

This explains why,"Anything that goes up shall go down!"

But then I smile, as I know the tide shall be back,

On a high as always and everything shall be back.

I rise from the sand and

Walk back to my land.

I wish I could have told this to the bald guy,

To see him a happy guy.

-Santosh

P.S. : This is my first poem named 'RECESSION' . Hope my first attempt at poetry feels like one. Your suggestions and feedback is most welcome. I would like to dedicate this poem to the Random Musings girl [http://anitha-jiobindaas.blogspot.com] whose poem on her blog has been a confidence building inspiration to write my own.
