Feeling nostalgic...

So finally the day arrives when i'm using my keyBORED not for programing but to write something coming directly out of mind, seamlessly.

spoke with karan yesterday after a month. he's also settled a bit after shifting to bangalore. told me tht Infy is also Big Labels but hollow inside. Same projects, processes, frustrated people but better infrastucture which soothes and encapsulates the process of continual stagnation. One bad thing talking to him is tht he reminds me of the Golden days we spend together at NIIT-CRCS (center for research in cognitive systems, IIT-Delhi). Everytime we talk, we come to discussing CRCS which makes me go thinking about the days and each and every moment i spend there which will never come back again. With every passing day, i feel the distance between tht place (which meant more thn home to me), people there and me is increasing. Why is it not possible for us to erase the memories from our minds no matter how good or bad these r. I think good memories are hard and takes long to fade. Initially i remember so painful it was for me to switch over to HCL Technologies from CRCS. Business minded people, processes, infrastructure and everthing. There is nothing here which makes u think and care about the organization and the projects...unlike CRCS. Felt like working without passion. But more than all this is the importance of the fact tht one has to move forward in life cutting all the strings tht tie us to the past, hindering us facing the windward and the future. this is one lesson which is tough to implement in life. One has to tear down the walls tht holds us inside. No one can be angry and happy at the same time...but we can certainly choose to be angry or happy. I've chosen to be happy no matter wot life throws at me.

My best-est friend Moumita told me these words before we decided to part ways...

"One thing you will soon realize that emotional attachments do not give anything other than pains because we keep on expecting from people without understanding their limitations and in the process we hurt them and mostly we hurt ourselves.You should try to grow up as an emotionally independent and strong human being who does not depend on someone else to be happy and content in life. You can never find happiness and contentment outside yourself. You have to find strength within. Then doesn't matter what happens doesn't matter who says what, you can be happy with yourself. Just try to be true to your inner core. That is the only thing that's yours. No relation, no project, nothing is only yours and nothing can be yours for ever."


These are the very fundas which form the basis of my life.
