Problems – Are they imperative to Life

This post is influenced by a brief talk I had with my brother earlier this week on problems in life and how to tackle them. Lets do an autopsy on problems.

Why people always complain about their problems, and hold them as common excuse for their failures:
Let’s think for a moment, are they real problems? or is it their wrong reaction which make the “problem” as a real problem. Is it their attitude or Is it their wrong choice of attitude towards the “problem” which changes it into a real problem.

How do great achiever, inventor, and entrepreneurs overcome problems? Why don’t they complain about problems?
Is it because god made them like that? :) or is it their attitude towards problems which enables them view each problem as an opportunity, view each stumbling block as a step stop.

Going to back to our old high school lessons on friction, researcher always viewed friction as bane on high speed locomotion, but isn’t it friction that makes us walk?

Ok one more science analogy, isn’t bird’s only obstacle to overcome for flying with greater speed and ease is the air ? but if the air is withdrawn (vacuum) it would fall. The very element that offers resistance to flying is at the same time the condition for it flight. Strange..

Do problems give a meaning to life ? Do we learn from problems? Is it Imperative to life? Will it be fun to live without problem?

P.S. But I am better off without I.E. Irodov physics problem :D

Movie time

Thavamaai Thavamirundhu

Just finished seeing it, I have to offload the weight, writing here might help.

Looks like each of Cheran's movie has a heavy subject and an intricate portrayal of human emotions and relationships. Though some might argue his movies carry excess baggage of sentiments.. come on which human relationship is devoid of emotions. People appreciate movies only when they're able to connect with it someway. The plots of his movies are layout in such a fashion and they highlight certain things that might be remotely connected to you. Certain scenes are truly touching, heart wrenching, pokes your mediocrity, reminds your past, nudges you to think for moment.

I still could not figure out who is the hero of the movie, Rajkiran or Cheran ? Rajkiran's controlled emotions, elegant dialogue delivery makes him a nonpareil for the role. Heart wrenching scenes were not uncommmon to Cheran, and he has sprinkled them all through the movie and few still still lingers in my mind. I got too involved into this movie which is, soo not me, couldn't help it, I share a very special relationship with my dad. I pity the elder brother character, his life course changed bcos of his wife, he had no choice. I guess, good being a relative term, to depict one as good the other had to be potrayed bad. Oru muraidhaan oru muraidhaan, manithan vazhkai oru muraidhaan is worth mentioning for its screenplay. Yet another movie straight from the heart to the heart.

Second One

My first blog entry was supposed to be my pretentious entry into the blogging world, but a simple search on my first title "Random Thoughts" revealed hundreds..no..thousands blog posts with the same title. Just skimming through these numerous notes from the mind, from the heart, from the brain, showed each one of them was distinct and unique mirroring the blogger's personality..kudos to whoever came up with this idea.

I think there are different facets for this blogshpere, it varies from pure academic narratives to personal revelations to daily journals, its amazing to see the gamut .

After meandering through the numerous blogs with the so-called title I stumbled upon another "Random thoughts", without knowing who the person is or looking at the profile I spent about 30 minutes reading through logs..apparently it turned out the person goes to the same school as I used to and is from same the city as I am from. Supposedly "She", had very candid narratives on Under-Grad and Grad life, reading through them made me nostalgic, took few moments to relish those lovely thoughts of grad life - friends, challenges, lesson learnt...ok ok back to present. ..its around 1:15 am and am dead tired from the travel, guess time to crash, over and out..Happy blogging..

Random Thoughts

Goals, ambitions, are they set? When the destination is not clear than what path should we take? what and where is the target? Will my dream ever materialise into defined goals, or should they really define themselves into goals. Will I have the temperament to decipher these goals into achievable and non-reachable, is there a clear line ? how can I be oblivious to all these questions?

Iconic images of the intelligentsia and the brave entrepreneurs who made it to the front pages reckon me and act as a constant pull towards the peak behind the wafting dark clouds of fear, fear of failure, fear of under performance. These pull would certainly help to forget the abnoxious moments of failed endeavors which knell like a death bell.

These questions and thought reverebate through mysystem.
