Anne of Green Gables

This is a classic by L.M. Montgomery which is a favorite with people all over the globe. The beauty of this book is that young girls who read the story of Anne actually fall in love with Anne girl and taking example from the book try and imagine her as their playmate when they need one. The language of the book is simple and easy and that makes it endearing for the readers. This was a book I read during my school day from my school library.....later on I came to know that there are further series to this book which portrays the life of Anne further on... this lead to the quest of finding the remaining books in the series (thanks to internet and e-books free downloading) I got the full series through net and having read the entire series I feel it was worth the search. None of the books in the series is dearer to me than Anne of Green Gables but that does not mean that the rest of the books are not good .Maybe because I read green gables first when I was so young and became a favorite then it still holds the same place in my heart. One thing I am sure of is that if I have a daughter then Anne of Green Gables and it series is going to be one of the classics she is going to gifted sooner than later in her life. :)

Work life

It has now been almost 6 month since I have joined work, all those images and dreams during college days about work and life as a whole has given way to bitter truth.

In my dream I saw myself as the highly popular marketing personality working for an FMCG company ideally located in Bangalore as it was the city in which I did my degree and fell in love with (this was seen before the campus placements took place) . This dream of working in FMCG Company came to a screeching halt as soon as I got placed in a software firm through campus placement.

According to the placement talks and presentations given by the company into which I got selected. The dream took a bit of a deviation to fit myself into the software scenario. I saw myself as the jet setting lady who markets software solutions to the potential clients who are located all over the country...working on my lappy at airports and client locations .......not being able to see my family for months on end nor being able to contact my friends as I would always be on the move.

This came to a complete screeching halt when I faced reality, the project I got after joining was not exactly of the dreams and imagination I had...... it certainly did not need me to market any of their products (as the are still just making it).........the beautiful city of Bangalore in which my dream was always set in ......... got transformed into Hyderabad.......the thought of the busy lady who do not see her family for month at end got transformed into virtually being home every weekend (happy about this dream going wrong)....... the client location did not spread across the country but got fixed to a state and city..... Hyderabad. So much for dreaming and coming back down to earth with a thud face down ...... ;) OUCH!!!!!! tat hurts :D

Drink and drive.....Early death

This post is based on something I personally went through.... my roommates friend died in a bike accident the cause for which was drink and drive. My friend is still coming to terms to the fact of her friends death very painfully day by day....she still can't believe that she is not going to get a call from him or a message from him.....that she is not going to see him smile back to her ever again.....

Who stands to lose of your death in such instances where the blame for your death is solely upon you ...... you never once think of your father and mother who have loved you soo much whose every dream has been made on you.....you never think of your Mom who worries mad when you are down with just a fever or a cold what would go through her mind when she sees your lifeless body...nor do you think of your Dad who works day in and out just to be able to give you the best of everything in life.... what would be his state of mind when he see you broken before him...... ever thought of your brothers and sister who have only you to call their own how are they going to see you lying there .......you never once think of those friends who are going to be devastated when you are not going to be there for them...you never think about your wife and kids whose world revolves around you and for whom the world is you.

You for that one moment of happiness drink and in that state drunkenness you drive thinking you are the king and nothing is ever gonna happen to you but just round the corner one mistake just one mistake it takes away everything .... it cost your precious life.........the fact of which you might not even know but it is the rest of your loved ones who are going to be shattered ..they are the ones who are going to find it hard to accept that you are not going to walk back into their lives with your smiles and talks...that you are not to write back the scraps... you are not going to call back... you are not going to message back to them..... Please don't drink and drive....I would plead not to drink at all... because it is going to hurt all of whom you love and hold dear....also all those who love you....
