Happy Holi - Common man is burning!!!!

                     We had t-shirt painting competition at Office and the theme was Flames. I am not that much creative with paintings and never had participated in any such activities during my school or college time. But we had bit hectic schedule in last few months so just wanted some change so i have just decided to go for it. Fortunately didn't have to wait for long for team.

                     We had small discussion about theme during lunch time day before of competition and after that crazy one hour i was so sure that what ever the result will come we are going to have complete masti and fun for an hour. One of us was expert in making sketches so we have zeroed down on painting a cartoon. We had quite a lot ideas about sketches but we also had to consider theme of the competition that was "Flames".

                     Ideally when someone think about painting competition with theme flames first idea will struck to mind would be "The Flame Art" . But we were not common people and competition arranged in IT company always have some tinge of seriousness. We were sure that everyone will try to make something meaningful serious art with some message and we were in mood of 'Dhamal Masti' . 

                     We have zeroed down on cartoon with some message so it can serve the both purpose. Cartoon was about a common man running away from flame. Flame of corruption,inflation, price hike and many other general issues. So idea was about to giving a message with funny cartoon with some tinge of sarcasm.

                     We had lots of fun and fight while painting. There was one moment when all three of us had brush in hand and seriously painting suddenly had a look at painting made by others and we were gone mad. We had stopped painting for sometime and had good amount of laugh at others work. Obviously here other means among three of us otherwise other competitors were seriously busy in painting.

                     We were gone mad at each other at the last 5 minutes of competition the star painter among us was panicking and crying and coordinators were shouting to keep us away from our work. Few friends were helping us to complete work by motivating. Then we had small round of photo session like if it was more imp than competition

                     Here is the painting made by us during competition......

                     
                     Funny enough.....right? Obviously we didn't win any prize in competition but participating in it was nothing less than prize. But as being IT people we have to retrospect our failure. So we had small discussion in cafeteria about reason for not winning competition. Discussion goes like this....

• Reason  - It was about Common man :- We have choose the topic about common man and in this country no one is appreciating efforts of common man. Either you have to be star to get attention and resolved your issues with stardom or you have to be weak so that you can gain sympathy from others and they can fight for you. 
• Reason 2 - It was about Man :- We have choose the man to represent our work others have choose topic related to save women or daughter with tinge of feminism. I also have soft corners for women and as being brother and son i know how strong they are , so no offence against it. It's good that everyone is trying to spread awareness with using the whatever platform they get. Be it a Rangoli,poster making or any other competition but we always see few creations with this topic. Anyways that was not my thought and will write about it sometime else.

P.S. We also had lots of fun with paint brush.. post the competition.

Myths Facts About Introverts

I was in very happy mood and suddenly it has ruined away my mood. Incident was about FB and some of my actions on it. Friend of mine was asking "Why did i have delete that comment from her post?". They called it weird and they have every rights of it to say so. If you see it from my perspective i have just deleted comment to avoid unwanted notification of comments made on the post below my comments. This was apparently occurred in past too as i am using FB from the cell and by chance it doesn't give option to unfollow post from cell phone application. But they don't my part of story and called it weird and some other  fellows had joined too.

Then at night while sitting in balcony with my favorite coffee, i was thinking about this incident and reason behind people's behavior. It was the "ME" and my first image of an "Introvert" has lead them to think or over think about my such actions. So just wanna get rid of some of the "myths" about introverts in this post.

(Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V)

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.

This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.

Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.

Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.

Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.

Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.

On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.

Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.

Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.

Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.

Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.

Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.

Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.

Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.

Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopa mine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways.

Some nice lines

We never know why we like someone more than others....!

Why we love someone without any reason....!

Why we feel happy thinking about their presence.....!

Cause Some feelings has no "Explanation" or "Definition"....♥

Just like that lyrics  of that Bollywood song....

"Kya hey ye...kyu hey ye... kya pata...ha magar...Jo bhi hey...Bada achha lagata hey...."

Quit writing ???

               I have lost that enthusiasm and it's directly reflecting with my updates here. I have not seen dashboard in last one and half month. It seems like ages. I have not read any blogs either was more busy with work which i have piled up and also i was in sorting out everything kind off mood. Wanted to correct many mistake i have made during starting of this year.

               I am wondering it is same place where i used to write about anything like travelling or about spending weekend at some random place. It used to give me kick when i see someone , who is interesting and had lot to offer which can make a brilliant post. I know in back of my mind that i can not write anyway near to her but i have tried. It didn't matter for me that how many mistake i have made while writing those posts. I just wanted to write and i had done it.

               Today, things have been changed too much,i have to think... think before opening this dash board. Think before opening my diary. It's not that i am not having any subject. I don't know what exactly it is but i think motivation is the word. I love to write...be it a blog , orkut , facebook or my diary. But when i used sharing here with friends (stranger friends) and they read it and comments, Yes I love comments . It always feels good when people reads, let me correct people who don't know you reads and leave comment behind. But as i have made it private for sometime after some incidents i don't expect people to visit here and read it regularly.

P.S. : I used to feel happy when I write anything here. It can be about any random topic, extremely lame or smart, funny or philosophical any damn thing in the world. I used to write something every single day and save it as draft. Here, on this space it used to feel like home. I think it's been my home for more than 3 long years. I think it owes me many thing. I also think that it has a soul too, just like i have one. This place has given me hope, heart break, happiness, sadness, dreams, night mares , lots of love and extreme hatred. It's just like a parallel life, I have created for my self, with my words, with my imagination and sometimes for some people.
