A Good Beginning Makes a Good Ending

Posted by Praveen 11 January, 2010 (1) Comment

2010 started out on a very good note for me personally. More like a dream come true.

One of my Interview has been published at Mequoda.com and can be read here – http://bit.ly/8ErPvs.

NDTV Chennai called me and asked me to participate in one of their television program.

Jan 24th, we are conducting a Naveena Swayamvaram (Matrimony Meet) in Bangalore, following the success of the previous one at Chennai.

Plus lots other good news from friends, family and others.

Infact it has not stopped,  today morning there was an another bit of good news.

It feels great to be inundated with so many positive happenings that i do not want it all to stop just this month itself. The year is just new and there are a lot more days left.

But then as they say, A good begnning makes a good ending. I hope the end years on a very positive note indeed.

I am alive… I am alive…

Posted by Praveen 20 November, 2009 (1) Comment

It has been 1 month and 2 days and i am slowly getting the itch to start writing again. Not only here, but it’s been quite a while since i wrote any poetry or for that matter, just about anything else.

Life has been good. Trying to make the step into the next phase. Initially, bit unwillingly, but now going with the flow to see what’s gonna happen :) . Lots of learnings life does throw when you least expect it. I found one, more than once, many people have a life size ego and it’s tough to make them see the reality. Perched on a pedestal (they build for themselves), they refuse(d) to come down and make life difficult for many.

At the same time i did find that whatever happens there are some stubborn, arrogant and fucked up people in this life and sadly at one point in time, they used to friends of mine. Can’t really call them friends anymore, but in someways i am glad they are outta my life now. I guess there are far better things to do, than bitch and moan about those who i do not care a dime anymore :)

One thing that did happen and scared the shit outta me was when a “nice bloke” sent me a good personalised threat over email one fine morning. For the first time, i was scared for the well being of my family. Its a time when anyone and everyone can arm themselves with stuff or it just takes a few thousand to send some.

But amazingly enough, i am still around doing what i like and in some ways, what i want. To an extent i must admit, i am pretty relaxed, happy and feel good about everything so far – Past, present and future.

Yeah, there are good stuff to share… but then again a plenty of unwanted eyes are lurking around, so i do not want any evil spells cast on me. So, i ain’t gonna mention it here. But then if you are already in my good books, you would have known about it by now ;) .

Nothing much and nothing exciting is happening in my life… boring eh? Sad to disappoint, thats how my life is… good, boring and the usual. But i love it :)

new look

Posted by Praveen 29 July, 2009 (0) Comment

almost missed out, incase you did not notice, Poetry of Life has a new design.

the old one was kind of become stale as it was close to 3-4 yrs without any major change. The new one brings a much needed layout change and also puts more focus on the latest poem.

emptiness

Posted by Praveen 22 July, 2009 (1) Comment

pthere is a sudden emptiness that i feel all around me. And the more i try to understand the reasons behind it, the less that i am able to concentrate on writing. At the same time, i am unable to use this as an inspiration for writing new poems too. I am hoping it does not stay for long. I have plenty to write about – emotions, especially anger suppressed inside and waiting to come out. Plus couple of events that i am trying to get them out in decent words.
watch this space or keep an eye out in a poetry of life.

What went on while i was away

Posted by Praveen 15 July, 2009 (1) Comment

A lot of things happened during the time i was away from here. Most notably, i came face-to-face with the reality that i am the master of my own fortune, which initially was pretty scary.  Scary simply because just like everyone else the comfort of the paycheck coming in every month was a soothing factor.

But now the same is not going to happen. I would have to earn my livelihood. And frankly i am no magician nor i am someone with so much contacts that all my ideas would immediately be sponsored by someone else.

Till date, whatever i have done, as a matter of fact achieved, has been purely out of hard work and mostly due to my never give-up attitude. There were people around and have helped me out with something or the other. But the major chunk of the effort had to come from myself.

I should say i have been pretty lucky to have the support of some of the key people in my life – most notably my mom, my sisters and my childhood friend. Even when i had some initial doubts about my own ability, their constant support and the belief in myself, helped me come out of those questionable time.

Apart from that, my interest in studies once again has picked. If time permits and i make good money, i am seriously considering doing another masters. I have not decided on what, but i would like to go back to studying. I am thinking of learning a course in Food/Nutrition.  Only time will tell.

I also realized i am getting old, considering the intense pressure that i am being subjected to by the same people mentioned above to get married. For a long time, i have been very successful in giving some excuse or the other, but now that mom is also back from the surgery, the pressure has been doubled and it is becoming intense as days proceed. Not that i do not want to get married, but i just feel there are couple of other things that i need to do before i settle down.

Oh yeah, i am seriously considering/thinking about getting a new tattoo – #6 :) Just have to finalize it and get myself to the tattoo parlour to get it done.

to be continued…
