Everything Happens For Good

Whatever happened is for good,
whatever is happening is for good,
whatever will happen is for good. 
                                 - Bhagvad Gita

This is a quote which I read at a very young age when it was quoted by the, then President of India – Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.

Isn’t it an evergreen quote in all our lives ?

We all tend to expect quick results, but at quantum level everything needs time to bear fruit. On similar lines even though I had learnt about this quote at a young age, it is at this stage of my life it has started to bear fruit.

Success and failure are two faces of the same coin, it is what you do with the coin that matters the most.

From my personal experience it has always been true that everything that has happened  in my life has been for my good.

Movies that I watched recently

1) Django Unchained

What a great movie this was, all characters played by the cast was top notch. Brilliant performance and excellent direction. No wonder it won Oscar awards.

2) Gifted

Emotionally connecting and subtle performance by the cast makes this one to remember for a long time. As the title goes this movie is gifted.

3) Sankranthiki Vasthunam

A slap stick telugu comedy movie which keeps you entertained for 2 Hours straight with ample scope for performance. This was a planned
festive blockbuster for the masses.

To Rise is what it takes

Every day, every moment, the opportunities blossom with unfolding of time.
How do we catch the wave ?
By rising to the break of dawn, by embracing the moment.
The beauty of life is in the fact that now at this very moment there are
abundant opportunities for us to catapult into higher orbits.
To endure is a quality that even the best of us should imbibe.
To gain momentum is a flowing mechanism to be adopted to run the
creative turbines of innovation.
We are at the dawn of a new digital age, where paradigm shifts happen
within shorter durations of time.
Technology is moving at such pace, it is difficult even to get hold of
everything that’s happening.
A domain centric and laser focused attention is prima facie to progress
in the world we live in.
As the wheel of time rolls on, it is time for the bigger entities to break
even and smaller entities to aspire big.

Regaining Control: A Step Towards the Dream

Rain lashed against the windowpane, mimicking the storm brewing inside Meryln. Her dream internship slipped through her fingers thanks to a misunderstanding – a single, poorly communicated email. Tears welled up, blurring the city lights outside. “This is hopeless,” she thought, sinking into the worn armchair.

Suddenly, a gentle hand rested on her shoulder. It was her grandfather, his eyes twinkling with knowing warmth. “Love,” he began, his voice a soothing balm, “remember, the greatest achievements are built one day at a time. A single misstep doesn’t derail the journey.”

Meryln sniffled. “But Grandpa, it feels like everything’s falling apart.”

He chuckled, his gaze steady. “The mind, my dear, is a powerful tool. Train it to focus on what you can control. Proper communication is key, but so is understanding that things can be misinterpreted.”

His words sparked a flicker of hope. “So, I can still achieve my dream?”

“Absolutely,” he smiled. “Learn from this. Practice clear communication, but also control your mind. Don’t let setbacks define you. Take a deep breath, pick yourself up, and start again, one day at a time.”

Fueled by newfound determination, Meryln spent the next few weeks honing her communication skills and practicing mindfulness. She re-wrote her application email, this time clear, concise, and brimming with her passion. The internship wasn’t a guarantee, but Meryln felt a sense of control she hadn’t before.

A week later, the reply arrived. It wasn’t a rejection, but a request for an interview. Meryln’s heart soared. It wasn’t a win yet, but it was a step forward, a testament to the power of a focused mind and the unwavering belief in her own potential. She smiled, the city lights outside reflecting the newfound hope in her eyes. The journey had just begun.

The Unexpected Blueprint: How a Quiet Machinist Found His Spark

Michael wasn’t known for grand gestures. He was the steady hand in the bustling machine shop, a man of quiet competence. Decisions came easily to him, a product of years spent weighing options and anticipating outcomes. His skill with a lathe was unmatched, coaxing intricate shapes from formless metal with practiced ease.

But a gnawing dissatisfaction hummed beneath the surface. He craved a better position in life, one that wasn’t confined to the oily, metallic world of the shop. Yet, the spark of imagination needed to break free was missing. It was during a particularly monotonous shift that a stray blueprint fluttered down from a cluttered desk. It depicted a fantastical machine, a contraption that defied logic with its swirling gears and impossible angles.

Something ignited within Michael. He spent his nights studying the blueprint, his steady hand tracing the impossible lines. His imagination, long dormant, bloomed in the fertile ground of the blueprint’s challenge. He began sketching modifications, fueled by a newfound determination. His decision was made.

Weeks turned into months as Michael meticulously translated his vision into reality. The once pristine shop floor became a chaotic symphony of whirring saws and flying sparks. His colleagues, used to his quiet demeanor, watched in awe as the impossible machine took shape. Doubts swirled, but Michael, the ever-steady decision maker, remained resolute.

Finally, the day arrived. Michael presented his creation, a machine that revolutionized their craft with its unmatched precision. The once-discarded blueprint had propelled him to a better position, not just in the company, but also within himself. He had discovered that the spark of imagination, much like the perfect tool, could be honed and wielded with the same steady hand that had always defined him. The quiet machinist had become an innovator, a testament to the power of a single, well-timed decision.
