A recent IM conversation

This is a part of the conversation I had with one of my friends Krishna Kumar aka Mappi, two days back. Have a look at it!

20:10

me: mappi.. wat is irony actu.. always had this doubt

Mappi: ummm

u say one thing

and something exactly opposite happens

kinda like

u say u can nvr be beaten

and when ur done saying it

ur on the floor

haha

me: oh ok!

Mappi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony

irony cannot be exactly described

hahaha

me: thats the irony part

Mappi: i was partly right i guess

direct opposite of the percieved truth best example of irony

i got was from a cartoon

haha

“so much a part of me and yet, I have to rip u apart”

^.^

me: hypocrisy is wat u said

rite?

Mappi:            no

Mappi: hypocrisy

is different

hypocrisy is claiming you are something you are not

me: ok!

Mappi: irony

is close to the truth

but just not true enough

its something like

I believe I’m the strongest on this planet, until i got

beaten 2 secs   later

haha

me: hmmm

Mappi: hypocrisy is saying I am as bad as K* at amrita

:p

me: hehe

Mappi: and yeah

another good example

u see droopy?

in tom and jerry kids?

me:      yea

Mappi:droopy says, “I’m sooo happy!!!”

with a blank face

irony

^.^

me: hmm…

the word itself is confusing

Mappi: irony is so much a part of our life

yet we know very little about it

:p

the very fact that we are going to work in a software company

after studying mechaal engg

is ironic

^.^

me: hmm..

Mappi: yeah

u know what?

what we are discussing proves how jobless we are…

me: very true man!

Mappi: ironically, people might think we are pursuing a degree in english

:p

me: hehe

wat the hell are we discussin!

Mappi:irony

haha

…

This continued, to various topics like the movie QGM, existence of God etc., till my mother called me for dinner. I never thought I would chat on topics like “irony”! The sad thing is that even after such a long discussion I’m not sure what irony really is. It just shows how awfully jobless I am now. Thanks to recession,I reckon most of the engineering graduates are in similar condition. God save us!

Yawn!

Good night!

India Forces into F1 Arena

I never thought Force India car would finish a race this year. If I am not wrong, the team’s plan itself was to finish a race in this season and may be think of a podium finish in the next. But to everyone’s surprise its a podium finish today at Belgian Grand Prix, missing the first position by .9sec. I guess even Vijay Mallya would have been surprised at this result.  But Fisichella raced really well. If Ferrari did not have the KERS system, I guess Force India would have finished first and we all could have heard Indian anthem in Belgium. But then, a good race. Well done mate. Next time finish it off!

Life at crossroads…

Life, at times puts you at crossroads. You just can’t decide what to do especially when there are many options open before you, each alluring with its promise of success and happiness. You yourself have many dreams and on top of that other people- those who care and also those who don’t – opine. You are not sure which is correct- yours or the others. Believe me, it is tough.

People opine with respect to their right and wrong, their concept of success and failure, which is always subjective. They won’t know what exactly is good for you. When you decide on something, you take into account what is good for you and what is not.

By making your own decision, you are doing something that you want to and not what others want you to. Then again, making the right decision alone is not everything, what really matters is what you do after deciding. How well you execute your plan afterward. That is what makes something fruitful.  Since you are following your dream and want to realize it somehow, you will give your one hundred percent.

At end of it you either regret your decision or feel content. But it was your decision… you wrote your own destiny, which is the most important thing. You did not live someone else’s life! Follow your dream- something which I did not exactly four years back and I regret that now.

This is my opinion. A lesson learnt from a decision I made previously. Life could have been different, had I learnt this earlier… if I had just given it a thought, then.

Does opportunity knock the door for the second time? Hope it will, for one last time.

Good day folks!
