Mistake Mistaken - Proud to be here!
May 26, 2005.
To My Folks
Long time..."No News is Good News" eh?!!!
More Often than not, most of you would have heard me brood over joining Infosys - mainly because it is an IT company and I gel with IT like oil does with water. But as I would have often mentioned too, one major reason that pushed me to join (of course other than certain few other practical reasons) is the fact that Infosys was and is one of the few "Indian" companiesthat rose to shine like a Star in this whole world. Plus the fact that"MY" company is purely indegenious.
Though life inside Infosys opened me up to some not-so-desirable facts about the company, that I persume every company as big and huge as this would have, to be as successful as this, I had never really cursed. I have questioned, yes and been concerned if Infosys can do better to those working there...never cursed. Neither did I have reason to awe about anything cos, Infosys is a largely conservative company, with strict principles and a little olden practices. Which means they were a bit tight on the Marketing and advertising Expenditures as well - until very recently.
But today morning, I woke up to see another face of my company - the Giant propaganda in the middle of Times Square in New York (supposedly the business center of the Universe). Reason - NASDAQ invited Nandan, our CEO to open the market today, the day when Infosys' Issues ran up to more than 1 billion in Share Money and again its the first Indian company to ever attain this. My Jaws dropped! Never been prouder to have been an Infoscion!

For once, a mistake I thought I did has proved me otherwise.Share my Joy!

I; 'my'
I shall choose friends among men, but neither slaves nor masters. And I shall choose only such as please me, and them I shall love and respect, but neither command nor obey. And we shall join our hands when we wish, or walk alone when we so desire.
I quote Prometheus in Anthem, Ayn Rand; and adapt.

When Nature Calls...
You just can’t say 'No'
Fe”Male”s become One
Be it sun or snow
So there you "Go"...
So there you "Go"...
:)
Simply "Yanni"!
I can still feel the ecstasy when I first saw Yanni live on stage as the white curtains dropped in one go making it even grander. No - It wasn’t Live on the TV... It was LIVE...He was right there a few meters there – in front of me.
As the last stop in his World Tour 2004-2005, he had played here inTampa the 26th of Feb, 2005 . Would I miss that chance?
I am happy that I have had very few disappointments (with an external factor) in my life that would stay green. I remember one of them - When Yanni had performed at the Taj inIndia
So the day I found that he was touring here, I was waiting for the Web portals to open online ticket booking. And the same day, I rushed to book my seats - comfortable, near but not too close and affordable.
Two of my friends working with me here accompanied me for this show. I had wanted someone who has seen me listen to and love Yanni's music to be there to share what I call my simple down to earth "lifetime dream". My friends around here couldn’t make it. The sugar coating came when my cousins agreed to come down fromAtlanta Atlanta
The show was to begin8.00PM , and it did (with a 10 min lapse which we think was for the late crowd). He played unendingly... till 10:20 PM . No Nonsense...No "calling kids to the stage", No talking about world peace or cause, No nothing. Just pure, simple, amazing MUSIC from YANNI.
When the curtains fell, I thought I cried seeing him. Nah...I just had a glob of joy mixed with surprise and a sense of greatness stuck at my throat. All through, I didn’t move from my seat. He opened with his usual popular opening piece Santorini. (The one you might have heard in lotsa Indian TV programs as Title music - sometime back). My favorite has been "Nostalgia" and boy! Did it take me back in time - nostalgic!!!!
He had included lot of Eastern Music (from his latest albums like Ethinicity). Bringing together nations, languages and ethnicities and everyone beyond the standard borders with his non-linguistic music, is what he says he is working for. Indeed!
Anyone who had come to this concert would have left the place humming or their souls slowly jiving to the inner rhythms that would remain for a few days. He had to tease us, the crowd a coupla times in the end to make us "go away".
The only thing I took away from that concert was a book with his pictures (of this tour) and of course a "floating in the cloud" feeling. I wanted to buy a T-Shirt with his fine signature on, but they ran out of stock. No photos, No CDs.
This moment, I can be right in the same place I was - in the concert, listening, relishing and devouring each piece of his - I just have to want to be there!
Glad this chance came by, More Glad I stepped on it,
Just "elated" to have been there with the ones I love,
And "Dumbstruck" seeing Yanni,
The music would play in my ears,
For a Lifetime…

Ambition
No one can go back and make a new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
Do not act from being hurt and end up feeling guilty.
Heard melodies are sweet but those unheard are sweeter.
Ambition stems from the base of emotions when emotion interacts with achievements or nicicities behind an achievement of others.
Ambition does not take limitation, capacity, circumstances, handicap of one while it develops iniside.
Ambition when pursued can also hurt.
I Quote My Father.
