Thoughts In A Wandering Mind

                    Here came the election season once again and the dates of the polls to elect the central government and some state governments are announced. So why am I interested in the proceedings. Is it a chance to capitalize on the opportunity and write a post to my blog for my benefit? Is it a way to live upon the politicians of the nation? The answers might not be completely false because I don’t have a business to interfere so heavily in the proceedings rather than minding my own business. Well, elections might not be so keenly contested in the nation’s history than the current ones. Because many bystanders are interfering and egging the leaders to give more. I had been spurring the leaders since last 10 years or past 2 terms through timely posts on elections. I had my own job as a student or a software professional which I should have concentrated upon and not interfered in others business. Politics is a separate entity a...

                     I had a proclivity to visit good places of work, model places, novel methods of developments taken up by organisations and think that these good works must inspire more people and organisations to emulate them in their own way. When you see wonderful acts, the inspiration must make you to react in equal or greater magnitude. This is Newton's third law applied to psyche of people. People reacting to good work is what makes the places turn from ordinary to golden standard. Fortunately, I had been to one of those epicentres of places few weeks back. I had seen the work of an organisation called Ekalavya Foundation in combined Adilabad district in Telengana. I went there unaware of what I will see and what my trip will be like but saw glimpses of humanity in the work of that organisation. The volunteers and workers of the foundation really took care of the tribals in a way so as to meeting their requirements an...

                 This seems to be the season of biopics since a lot of biopics are being released in Telugu, Hindi and other languages. In my last post, I delved on the biopic of N.T.R. for a good effect. When a lot of good content is being released, one need to take a step back and appreciate them instead of leaving them unnoticed. Another, one such biopic released is that of the former C.M. of united A.P. Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy. In that film ‘Yatra’, Y.S.R was enacted by another great actor Mammootty. These are the stories that need to be told so that the next generation can take them as inspiration and achieve a bit of what they did. Y.S.R is another great leader who sacrificed his life for the cause of the state and gave up his life in line of the duty like the soldiers in Pulwama. I do not get into the details further since I had already written on Y.S.R in the first post of this blog at the time of his untimely demise. The small ...

           This is a one-off post in the interim. I recently watched a movie NTRKathanayakudu and this is a reflection, review of the larger-than-life personality of the person enacted on the big screen. It has been some time but better now than never. The main motive behind watching the film is to educate myself of the real life of the great actor-turned politician. I want to dissect the reason behind - what it takes to leave an indelible imprint on the lives of many. That said, this is not an effort to promote a group, caste or region in any miniscule manner whatsoever. It transcends across all the boundaries and entire humanity is the biggest beneficiary eventually.              The film starts with NTR working in a job as a registrar. After few weeks, he decides to leave the job as he sees corruption all over the place. Let me pause here for a moment. These are no modern days with full of jobs, alternatives and all ...

                     I have always maintained that I always play to the tunes of external forces that control me rather than I being in control of them. There are always multitudes who decide for me, act upon me, wish for me and try to make me a puppet in their hands. I had seen that it is these same public who have high expectations and hopes for me even when I see darkness all around. I work to the greatest of my potential taking many risks which cater to the short term or very near future that I cannot tell if I can sustain in the long run. All that you find is hopelessness and no optimistic outlook when you stare from where you stand. In the midst of this ocean of despair, one needs to be strong enough to swim persistently hoping for a better tomorrow. But I am under control of external forces. I live with this external hope of the people and slog through day-in and day-out believing that one day I would be freed from the bon...

                  Talk is always cheap. One of the downsides of writing this blog is I talk a lot through it with little action. For instance, in the previous post I mentioned writing in a different genre, preferably love stories or that which is not nationalistic. But for me to write stories of affection between a man and woman, I need to experience it first hand or indulge in something interesting. Sadly, my thirty years of existence is a big bore with nothing invigorating. I stuck to the apparent boredom because it is interesting to me and well within my comfort zone. Anything I write about the state or nation or any larger-than-life topic lies in the realms of assumption with nothing directly attached to it. The phases of lying in the higher planes of imagination without living in the moment is what constitutes the stories of the blog. When you are alone and gives your mind a free-ride, you assume a lot outside your circle of influenc...

                  My actions, thoughts, dealings, discussions, emotions and everything related to me are an open book and fully transparent. Everyone is entitled to a public life - that which is captured by the public eye and a private life - behind the four closed walls. A general person balances these two by living half time public and half time private. A celebrity who complains of privacy lives 70% of time public and 30% private. Few noble souls goes beyond this and achieve 90% public living. If there is anyone who is living on 100% public glare all the time, it is me. I have been living as such since the last decade or more. According to my own definition, public living is that kind of life which is always under spotlight, which is spotless or without any blemish, which is morally correct, which is generally accepted, which is inspiring to be more, which is filled with good deeds, which is unidimensional and which is worth living. This...
