No Turning Back ...

I am a documentary maker.
I joined the National Geographic Society in 2004, when i was in my second year at School.The team was involved in a project named "The Living Edens".
There was always a fasination,a thrill which always made me to think of the science(It's rather generic, be it History,Philosophy,Religion,Astronomy,Automobile science,Entertainment,Oceonography,Egyptology.. whatever stuff out there tries to ignite a spark into me and giving me a wonderful feeling,a Thought...!!)

May be i wanted to become a documentary maker, i could have joined National Geographic Society as a member, possibly i could have lived out my dream of understaning the things out there in a better way, instead i did my school specialization in Computers, and did my engineering specialization for Electricals and joined a reputed Software Firm.

This was not the only thing that cold have happened,i might ahve been a post-man, or manager of a shoe company, possibly an actor or a director or an enterpreneur with Ferrari to transport or a government minister with two Ferrari...

Or,..It is quite possible that i may not have wanted what i have right now in my hand 'OR' it is also possible that i didn't know "How" to do the thing i wanted to become... 'OR' possibly i didn't even knew "What" was the thing i wanted to do at first place...


I just remember Kannadasan's Lines at this point,

"Aasaiye alai pole,
Naamellam athan mele,
Odam pole adiduvome vaazh nalile
Paruvam ennum kaatrrile
parakkum kaathal therile
aanum pennum mahizhvar
suham peruvar - athisayam kaanpaar
Naalai ulahin paathaiyai inre
yaar kaanuvar?"

So to those Ignorant bloggers, who don't know the language Tamil or don't even know that there a language called tamil esists, here is the english version,

"With passions as waves
we dance like the boat over it,
in our passage of life
With the wind of youth,
by flying in the chariot of love,
man and woman make merry, enjoy
and surprise themselves
but who can guess tomorrow's path
today itself?"

One of my all-time favourites, is the one which maybe I heard for the first time on "Oliyum-Oliyum", when I was just six or seven years old. The deep-throated resonating voice of playback singer Tiruchi Loganathan, had fixed this Kannadasan lyric, in my mind forever, i m not sure but i guess it is from the movie "Thai Piranthaal Vazhi PIrakkum"

Even in this lyric, Kannadasan reinforces the theme, "sorrows are credit of life, while the joys are debit, with the balance being mere dreams, and who can comprehend the arithmetic of fate?".


When you look back, there will be things you will regret.

that you made the wrong decision... no you re WRONG..!!!

You made the right decision.

Life is about decisions.Because, whatever decision you make is the only one you can make,otherwise you could make a different one.

Everything we do we chose.

so there is nothing to regret.

You are the person you chose to be..!!

Oscar Wilde said right,
Most people are other people.
Their thoughts are someone else's opinions.
Their lives a mimicry.
Their passions a quotation.

A bad-idea in use is always better than a good-idea lying idle.

And with my point of view, Stealing from somewhere that resonmates with inspiration or fuels your imagination is no wrong, because authenticity is invaluable and originality is non-existent.

And just don't be negative about rejection, the world is what you think of it - so think of it differently and your life will change.



I would like to conclude this post with a BernadShaw Quote

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world.
The unreasonable man adapts the world to himself.
All progress depends on the unreasonable man"


This post is inspired from the book "Whatever you think - Think the opposite" by Paul Arden.
