mm got it rite nearly 40 yr old story.Had heard a lot abt this highly acclaimed buk.finnaly got my hands on it.A small easy read tht will take abt 2 hrs to complete .My first attempt on review.My ratng for the buk would be 3 on 5.***

Suddenly the door bell rang I saw Bhagya was there for her chores. She just greeted me wit one of her beautiful smiles and straight away started her work. Wit all the kannada I know I asked her how her dad was dng as last week she had told me he was hospitalized. Wit a pain in her eyes she just replied hez still not discharged from d hospital n doc has asked only to get thru some tests and never even came back for the results. This lady always put me in thoughtz. She is just of my age may be younger than me with 2 sweet little kids. On her first day at my home I have asked her to come up for work by 8 n don’t keep me waiting for her but she said “belige haglila akka…makalige school untu…avarige school haaki bartini” (ill leave my kids to school n come).Here was a lady to make her daily bread, to feed her children to d fullest, wit d dream in her eyes for her kids worked in about 4-5 houses daily wit a smile in her face n pain in her eyes wit no sign of frustration. Shez an epitome of what effort really means.

I wanted to talk to her to help her ease her mind but she seemed to be in her own world working mechanically trying to finish off her work soon n head towards d next house.

I can feel how fortunate I was to be on the greener side n yet wailing at times at d mere hardships that come across. Watz it that makes such a difference btw me n her. Is it education, money, family background, gud job…whatever it is I do respect all the commitment shez putting n hats off to u n Ur never let go attitude Bhagya.

whewww…today the world witnessed the much awaited diamond ring in the horizon which was indeed once in a life time opprtunity for it was the longest ever recorded solar eclipse..though we bloreans were nt so fortunate to have a glimpse of this beatiful phenomenon it was sure enough a feeling to b part of the historic moment.I had a gr8 time explaning my mother in law watz it which causes the sun to be eclipsed n she shared wit me the myths ppl  follwed earlier like it was considered as sun(the soorya bhgwan )was engulped by the dusht rahu and many more stories follwed.poor soorya bhagwan he too gets stuck by grahan .Quite interesting!!!

Word of gyan : Eclipse IDE (for IT nerds  out ther)got its name as it was invented targeting to eclipse the very popular Microsoft’s Visual Studio.According to then IBM CTO, Lee Nackman, the name “Eclipse” was chosen to target Microsoft’s Visual Studio product. “Eclipse had a good ring to it and we liked the idea of eclipsing Visual Studio,” Nackman said

Yet again the thought threatened me. Why the hell do I fear this beautiful world of expression…take a pen n sit to write ur mind just goes blank,,u just feel the laziness creeping on to u. It’s been a long time since I have started thinking of blogging. In fact I do have couple of blogs to my credit also But didn’t pen anything there yet.

 Always I used to put off the idea of scribbling something by saying either I don’t have time (How much more do I want than 24hrs a day. Silly me) or else I don’t have the patience to sit at once place n write (Got patience to sit n chat for hrs long…)

Or is it really the fear of expressing oneself or just the fear of others peeping it Ur mind…anyways something in me has till date stopped me from penning my thoughts. The laziness has made it home a long back in ma mind n it truly needs patience now to bring back ma ideal mind to action.

Reading has truly helped in keeping myself involved in my world. Going thru others mind has always fascinated me. yet I feel the power of writing need to be nurtured to keep urself to get urself more explored .Its really true Fear of failure is the one thing that keeps a person one step away from success.

Yesterday I was talking to ma cousin who in spite of very brilliant always gets tensed at exam hours.Fear of standing second in class, fear of losing marks was the thing bothering her. Why are people bothered to prove themselves to others, it’s only to your soul u r accountable.(that might be the reason I stood away from this blogosphere)

Work for your inner joy success will be yours. It doesn’t mean don’t dream, Dream for the sky but make sure you need to reach the heights not to show off to others but for you.(that’s making me go ahead with writing…for my inner pleasure…in a journey to discover myself) 

Ultimately it will the only thing that would matter.

Being a bit philosophical for the first blog…
