Success is Personal

My brother cleared his higher secondary exams.
Hundreds of thousands clear it each and every year. What is the big deal about it?
Well, Yeah its definitely a big deal considering he is suffering from ....

This is not something straight from a Robin Sharma or a Stephen Covey preaching paradigm shift or about being in other person's shoes or anything related to it.

It was a real time big time embarassment message conversation happened few years ago between me and my friend.

Reflecting upon it and remembering might reinforce the lessons of  Paradigm Shift
Thinking from other person's perspective. Thinking twice before shooting off your mouth or firing a mail or message. Or many such things.

Rather than all the above, I feel the most important lesson is "Everyone is a successful person in their very own right"

Not only Sachin and Shahrukh are successful,but also Sam and Suppan

Success is not all about churning few best sellers or winning oscars or hitting 100 centuries.

Success is all about creating new horizons for yourself, going beyond your boundaries, taking a shot to design your destiny against all your odds.

If only you can scale up to a three storey building from an hut; If only you turn out to be a biggest purchaser of a store, where you were shooed away;where you were turned away for not paying up the credits, then you are the Ambani in your own right.

The benchmark to define Success is unique and personal.

Success comes in all sizes. Pick yours

இரகசியமில்லா சினேகிதிகளுக்காக

கடற்கரைகளில்
கண்ணோடு
கண்
காண்கையில்
கரைந்து
காணாமல்
போவது
கடல்
மட்டுமல்ல
நானும் தான்!

இரகசியமில்லா சினேகிதிகளுக்காக

வயிற்றில் பட்டாம்பூச்சி
உன்னைக் கண்டதாலல்ல
உண்டஉணவு
சரியில்லாததால்!

How they got Osama and how it got me

There are few articles that brings a chill to your bones. Hair raising. Every one also know Newyorker is famous for such insightful revealing articles.
This one is beyond adjectives.

The way the story is presented, the transition it makes from the landing in Pakistan to the way it was planned and going back to the place where the action took and the follow up is just awesome. More especially the closure.

Well, any one who has practiced his craft of writing could churn out one like this, but when you consider the amount of effort that would have involved in groundwork. Finding the right people, getting them to talk, verifying the information offered, making sense of all of them and presenting them in such an interesting style. WOW WOW.

I was(and am) never a big fan of Obama. I have always felt, Americans should have voted for Mccain for he has really given a lot to the nation. I was surprised to read, Mccain wasn't appreciative of Obama's promise.

Now I sincerely wish Americans would vote back Obama just for getting Geronimo

இரகசியமில்லா சினேகிதிகளுக்காக

கண்விழித்ததும்
கவிதை
கிறுக்குகிறேன்
கனவில்
நீ

இரகசியமில்லா சினேகிதிகளுக்காக

உன்னோடு
நடக்கையில்
எப்பொழுதும்
எனக்கு
குழப்பம்தான்
தோளணைக்கவா
கைகோர்க்கவா!

இரகசியமில்லா சினேகிதிகளுக்காக

கண்களின்
கதிர்வீச்சு
கலக்கத்தின்
காரணமாகத்தான்
கண்டதைக்
காண்கிறேன்
நானென்பதை
நம்புவதில்லை
நீ!

இரகசியமில்லா சினேகிதிகளுக்காக

கடைகளில்
காலம் கடந்து
காத்திருக்கையில்
கடுப்பாவதில்லை
நான்
உன்னோடு
இருக்கையில்
