Laziness, procastination and conclusive thinking is a worst concoction!

For sometime now i wanted to analyse my worst short comings and did realise that procastination would top the list followed by laziness.... i even procastinated in analysing this and have been lazy to get working on it.. but then i did realise that these are characteristics that are more personal when used singularly and doesn't have much of social significance for a seasoned player of these traits who knows the ways to handle situations arising out of it, and people ain't bothered abt when u do wat u want/have to, as long as it doen't affect them... lot of experience in carrying on these useless traits.... but then, voila, noticed that i do have multiple other characteristics that i use along with these, in combinations these traits are more disastrous and were in unidentified existence,.. and has brought in good enough reasons for embarassing social situations... hmmm, now the birth of this quote, thats the blog title has a story behind it and ofcourse the luxury of lot of free time that i am using in penning this blog .... feels good that i have started ignoring procastination signals from my head for this pursuit....


Now coming to the story, i have this college buddy who hap to put in a video abt a TOI campaign using nakku mukka music, this song has diff lyrics though it starts with the same nakku mukka words...


The flashback:

Now this song comes in a movie called Kadhalil Vizhudhen, one of the worst movies that i sat through in the recent past, mistake of believing the belief with which SUN took this as their maiden venture into movie production, distribution and marketing...A crappy decision camouflaged by brilliant marketing, putting their tv network to full use.... Coming to the music of this movie, it was done by Vijay Antony (wud address him VA from now)... it was good, expect for the fact that he robbed music from Rihanna's unfaithful for another popular track 'unnakku enna nan' from the same movie. Yet i was all in appreciation for VA for his nakku mukka creation. Now when i saw this video of TOI campaign, i branded him a copycat and was in all hatred for this id**t who was getting celebrated for others creations, that he claims as his. Now though i had this anger i didn't pursue in an effort to express the same, again laziness comes into picture...


Now the the flashback is over, back to the main story :

So i find this video put on his facebook account , oppurtunity for me to express my pent up anger abt VA, so i post in my comments there along with the video, so that i could stop atleast a few more people believing that this guy has significant talent to be looked out for.... now to save my time in repetitive writing, i am copy pasting the comments below,

so this was the beginnin for the nakku mukka song... like the egg ad music in panchathantiram.. this music was also f...kin robbed! In the same movie KV of nakku mukka, vijay antony robbed music for an other song from Rihanna named unfaithful... and this VA a...ole is celebrated for robbed music! hmm deva sishya pulange..

Amith Nag at 1:19pm July 1
no.. this wasnt copied by vijay antony.. this is an ad campaign by ToI who have used the Naaka Muka song with different lyrics...

Santosh G Nair at 11:15am July 2
oops shud hav googled befor writin in..atleast he copied his own stuff for this...anyways thanks for the info... laziness and conclusive thinkin is a worst concoction! hmmm...



Avalathan, indha padham situation dialogue, sarri padham illa pa, indha dialogue in blog and 'only' FB pa, ana story continues climax irrukku pa..


Story continues:

Here i used my trait of laziness with my conclusive thinking ability to determine this VA guy is a sishya pula of deva, the master of copied music in tamil film industry. National egg ad music kuda copy adicha panie inda deva!. What i didn't realise is that my laziness trait has taken precedence here and i haven't done any reasearch for my assumptions that led to my conclusive thinking into branding this VA as a sishya pula of deva, one song music copying cannot make anyone a sishya pula of deva, only persistence in the same can get VA there.... Oru google search pani info verify pane kudi laziness, kadhuvule kapate...enne on priority list'le kapate... Now i know how perceptions (i hate this trait in people and now am a subject of the same) are born...So my determined decision without basic reasearch before conclusions led me to the situation where my college classmate had to correct me with his knowledge. I was lazy enough to ignore the fact that conclusive thinking comes out of research by oneself and not any stated fact/assumption from even a reliable source. Here the source was adiyaen (the servant in me that serves me, simpla nan than pa) only. The assumption that led me to it was that TOI launch was much before the movie release and normally a movie music is exclusive to its makers and isn't used in any ad campaigns. The assumption (if reasearched cud be termed knowledge instead of mere assumption) that i didn't have was that both these works cud have the same creator , which would have come out of a google search and i would have made a proper conclusive decision rather than a ill-researched determined conclusion on a public social networking site like facebook. Now thats a worst concoction since two traits (laziness and conclusive thinking) of mine worked in tandem creating disaster.
.
Climax, time ayedichu :

Thus now to save myself out of the situation, i decided to thank my buddy for his info and also write a blog which could be used as a thought provoking gesture for me to get rid of the traits of laziness and ofcourse my toplister procastination. And the message penned by kalaignar nyan avargal is "Laziness, procastination and conclusive thinking is a worst concoction!"(Nalla padam na msg venum, entertainment matum ila). I wanted also to make it a humorous one, which is my way of saying sorry to the embarassment that i caused myself,amith,many others who hap to read through the FB page and definitely VA for terming him the sishya pula of deva and some explicit abuses that i chose to shower him with, but though i have a whiff of after thought that he will achieve that distinction in times to come. Only time can answer that non-conclusive thought of mine.

Tribute to a Legend!


Michael Jackson, a talent worshipped by many around the world isn't on this earth anymore. A definite seperation is felt though i haven't known this person on any personal front and never was a die hard fan or follower of his either. But still one feels a vacuum when someone so irreplaceble leaves. No more comebacks of this genius can be expected, but why was a comeback even required for such a huge successful genius, whose past works will keep him alive in the minds and hearts of others for times to come. MJ, the king of pop, a true entertainer and a super dancer, for millions who still take him as an inspiration today for his skills in dancing, inspite of the numerous talents after him shows how talented,loved and respected was this guy to the world of music and entertainment. A life filled with success, fame, wealth and finally riddled with controversies,scandals and debts is what this genius bargained for with life. A peaceful death is definitely something that he deserved and obtained. I feel this early death to him was appropriate. More disgrace to such a remarkable genius was definitely not an acceptable expectance to have, as it was almost a certain possibility with his volatile lifestyle choices. Its said that the very popularity and success of the music channel MTV during its initial days had to do with the rise of MJ and his ever entertaining work. The music industry during his heydays thrived on his success. MJ once said to our very own desi musical genius Rahman at LA after Oscars, 'he did his music and danced from his heart, and he liked indians a lot' . A colloboration of these 2 talents was in the offing , initiated by MJ himself. A world of talent was this international star found in a talent hunt in US and a true distinct talent from America. He was a true entertainer. People around the world loved him for his genius and his ever entertaining work. The many controversies and scandals that dogged him cannot perish his ever memorable genius in music. R.I.P. M.J., the legend dies but his work remains forever and ever and ever.....! You are immortal for the many millions who loved and respected you! Let the music play on....

Bend,Kick,Join.



I go to a swimming pool,
As I wanna do something cool,
And I enroll into the swimming school,
As I wanna swim by the rule!

I am put to a coach,
Who swims like a roach,
Who works with sloth,
As I wonder on what i got!

He walks around the pool,
Talks with his colleagues uncool,
To make an impression,
That i need to do something for his attention.

I wonder what to do,
I gotta make him do what he needs to,
I walk upto him,
And try talkin to him.
.
I understand that,
To get him smile,
Requires me to bribe,
With a big gandhi in a smile.

He nods his head,
Even before a word is uttered,
And makes me wear a tube undetered.
This does make me rested and feel more protected.

He puts me on a side pipe,
Wants me to hold it tight,
He asks me to stiffen my hands,
And lighten my legs.

Then he holds my legs and starts his learned words,
Bend,Kick,Join.
Bend,kick, join.
Bend,kick, JOINN
,

The words keep echoeing in my head,
I am fed with the routine to be kept,
I wonder have i got it right,
And my hands lighten and legs get stiffened.

And as I wonder about my new found fright,
And donna wanna appear a fool in sight,
I call him to guide me through,
As my routine turns into something i have made upto.

I wanna get my routine straight,
Wanted him to correct me right,
He holds my toe down,
And repeats, now our learned words.

Bend,Kick,Join.
bend,kick, join.
Bend,kick, JOINN,
bend,kick, Joinn.


-Santosh Gopi Nair

Afterword: This was my experience during my first day of swimming classes, don't know how much swimming i learned on that day, but definitely got an inspiration to sketch a funny poem. The whole experience of going to these classes is turning to be skeptically funny due to the corrupt slothy way the coaches there function; i am half way through the program now and still feel like a novice in this skill. I ain't know how better i am gonna swim after this whole program but do know that i got the survival skills (predominantly self learned by realisation once the protection tube was removed) to be in water for a while and swim kinda a survivor strugglin for survival. But i still remember the first and only coached lesson learned,...Bend,Kick,Join....Bend,Kick,Join.
...Bend,Kick,Join... guru ve namaha!

Being RIGHT!

The world is getting filled with people who are more interested in proving themselves right rather than being or doing right. It's like driving without proper directions and reaching a destination in a longer route by once presumptions and assumptions, unmindful of the traffic created, fuel burned or time wasted thus fueling havoc and being more interested in figuring the route thus proving oneself right. But instead, if one looks at a map or asks known people for directions and take the right routes, he reaches his destination more efficiently and does right..The former serves his egos, the later feeds others ego, starves his and gets his job done effectively and efficiently right.

The Gyan from Nyan: Cater to others ego, never serve yours! . This is a sure shot way to success as this makes you a no fuss guy, improves peace within, increases networking, increases the sources of knowledge and most importantly a better human with straight positive solutions rather than a 'clustered filter in mind person' who decides whether to go through with a positive or negative solutions based on his egoistic emotions rather than logical solutions. Emotions create short term solutions and long term problems. Logic creates all time solutions.


P.S.: 'Nyan' is a malayalam term meaning 'Me' or 'myself' or 'oneself'. 'The Gyan from Nyan' will be a column within the blog, from now on, conveying msgs wherever applicable. Keep reading the blogs and write your opinions.

Q & A?

I have always wondered why some people don't answer questions even though it is obvious that they know the answers or are supposed to. And now i have come to an understanding that there are only 3 reasons for it. One, he doesn't know the answer or acts ignorance to prove the same. If he by circumstance or profession is supposed to know the same and states/acts ignorance; he is an idiot by choice and deserves to be treated like one. He ought realise that 'Knowledge doesn't diminish but instead enhances by propagation'. Making knowledge classified diminishes its potential of growth and thus its usages/benefits. Two, he is insecure onto himself and feels [slave of perceptions] challenged when questioned. There could be multiple reasons for his insecurity but this trait is a proven trademark of an idiotic confused head. These confused heads might not come across as idiots due to their decieving presence and confined intellect, but with time are to be proven idiots who never reached their potential. Some of my basic reasoning of this kinda insecure people that i have come across and their thought process are as follows. He is sure by sharing his knowledge , he would make you more intelligent than himself. His sense of purpose and success lies in making his known informations classified, these are kinda people who are a bane to humanity and equality in existence. They feel entitled to their knowledge, not realising it was someone's intelligence that they have no right over that is their knowledge today. Thus his sense of identity is only his learned knowledge and not any significant intelligence.
Knowledge is a raw material for intelligence and is a vastly available commodity with no unique significance in ownership apart from its originator, whereas intelligence is a developed sense of action that later is turned to others knowledge for abundant use. Intelligence actually serves the purpose that knowledge is presumed to. The true intellect is unique,original and never threatened.
Three, he truely considers you to be a fool or untrustworthy or biased. But this applies only in very few cases in anyone's life and only if the person in question is intelligent enough for the subject in question and does have the judgemental maturity to exercise this reason. But instead if the person in question uses this as a predominant habit, he is a fool in an intellect's hide. This third reason isn't applicable to professionals who do use this as a cover to their ineptitude in their profession. Some of the examples of such professionals (the word is a disgrace when used for addressing such people) are teachers(it reminds me of most of my useless mech.engg. prof's and lect's, these reasons are some of their predominant traits to cover up their lack of knowledge), doctors (Godfathers of Jargons), lawyers( they head the list of people who could complicate simple things, their motto: never thing straight), engineers (the know alls of borrowed knowledge, in reality predominantly the know nothings who just apply age old principles in working and don't really find much, yet claim credit with the famous slogan : 'engineers make the world', it should be rather read as 'engineers are used to make the world', it's the guys in financial control who makes the decision and engineers just execute it, no real decisions taken here. The reason i insist on the third reason not being applied to these professionals is that they are highly accountable by the nature of their job and hence are supposed to be responsible in answering questions to any tom,dick and harry without judgementing as their accountability requirements do not allow them to be judgemental in replying queries. They are the most respectable servants of the society, at a higher social strata though, and not the masters of the same. If these professionals display this third reason as a right to their discreation, it just implies they are ineptitude.

When Q? pls A. and not A? {means-why answer} - do so as it is a means of amiability and accountability in existence. -SGN

P.S: The usage of masculine gender for addressing a subject is just for the convenience of writing and has no bias in reason. Whats written is applicable to any gender.
