Time from Pink Floyd (The dark side of the moon)

This song is about how time can slip by, but many people do not realize it until it is too late. Roger Waters, one of the contributors to Pink Floyd, got the idea when he realized he was no longer preparing for anything in life, but was right in the middle of it. He had just turned 28 by then. The song may mean something to Roger Waters personally, but it is essential that one should also draw meaning of the song for the itself.

In the continuation with the thread of "are we enough enterprising?", this song is just a perfect fit to explain what we are. So true, so bloody true.

[1]

Ticking away the moments

That make up a dull day

Fritter and waste the hours

In an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground

In your home town

Waiting for someone or something

To show you the way

==

The time is ticking away in many ways. We have a lot of ways to waste the time, in our own ways, the ways that suit our idiosyncrasies. We are holding onto ourselves, wasting time in doing nothing, sitting on the ideas hatching them, and waiting for someone to show us the way.

[2]

Tired of lying in the sunshine

Staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long

And there is time to kill today

And then the one day you find

Ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run

You missed the starting gun

<lead guitar>

==

We think we have a lot of time at hand and keep on wasting the same until suddenly we find we have no time left. Our expectations from others turn out to be flout while the world is following the course of the race. We never got to understand that we actually have never had prepared to face the world and eventually we are left behind.

[3]

And you run and you run

To catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

==

And when we realize, it's already very late. We try to ameliorate the losses, we try hard. But our efforts turned out to be futile. We are left behind the world. Eventually, we realized that we have very little time left. We are close to the end of life and there are many things we haven't done.

[4]

Every year is getting shorter

Never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone the song is over

Thought I'd something more to say

==

Minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, likewise, years have passed away. We have never had time for our plans. Now the time has gone and we're left to repent. But it's useless now.

[5]

Home, Home again

I like to be here When I can

When I come home Cold and tired

It's good to warm my bones Beside the fire

Far away Across the field tolling on the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spell...

==

In the end, we are tired. We're close to the end of our lives. Back again, we're forced to get back into our chicken shaded life, what we're habitual of. And that's all. Our time has done, our life is done. We've done nothing worth.

Weißt du das?

Jeggernaut-
derived from Jagannath (Sanskrit: जगन्नाथ ) ,a form of vishnu particulary wordshipped at  the Jagannath Temple,Puri,Orissa where during Rath Yatra festival thousands of devotees pull temple carts some 14m(45 feet) tall,weighing hundreds of tons through the streets.Early European visitors witnessed these festival and returned with possible apocryphal reports of religious fanatics commiting suicide by throwing themselves under the wheels of the carts. So the word became a metaphor for something immense and unstoppable because of institutional or physical inertia;or impending ctastrophe that is foreseeable yet virtually unavoidable because of such inertia.

Shampoo-
derived from Hindi word Champi/Champo.
Shampoo was first introduced in Britain by a Bihari Muslim entreprenuer named Sake Dean Mahomed.

Anaconda-
derived from Tamil word "anaikolra", which means Elephant killer.

Singapore-
singapura,came from Simhapuram(Sanskrit word),"the lion city".

Thought For The Day

"Care" is expressed not to impress people.. because when care is expressed truly, people get 'Impressed' naturally..!!

Attitude(The reason behind the Glory and the Failure)

       After  reading the last blog ,I really feel that we need to think on it- "are we enough enterprising?". 
The reason is-
       Most of the people are working as "Cyber Coolies" not as "Smart Workers". They plan a lot but they fail to execute their plans. Some of them are  busy in giving preposterous reasons to their failure.Some are very busy in giving prejudiced opinion, but none of them is interested in "Self Analysis". Nobody is interested to change their attitude towards life.
       People with pessimistic attitude always give absurd reasons and views,but it doesn't mean that people with optimistic attitude always do well. Optimism leads to success if there is a touch of aggression .
      So abolish the negativity in mind and try to analyse yourself.  Dont change yourself ,just change your attitude towards life.

are we enough enterprising?

This is a long time old question I've been asking to myself.
We work for others, for ages, for all the times of our lives. We get an opportunity to work for good and so called "elite brand" companies. We feel proud of being the one on "that bay". We portray the same through our engagements in the public. We present ourselves with a face full of courage and that we have a metal to have the self on that bay. And there's the other obvious side in us, the side that glitters in dark. That side, we speak about in public but NOT too often. We get to listen to stories of the big enterprises that they were started in a garage or in a warehouse or some shady place for that matter and then they had become "the enterprise" that we always wanted to work for.

With this thinking, I believe, we live for all the times, the living on the other side, the common side, of the table, so to say. And the rare side of the table is left onto those whom we say are the founders of the elite brands. However is the our opinion, I always fail to understand that we never want to see ourselves on the other side, the rare side, the "their side" of the table. This "their side" is, sort of, opaque to us. Is it opaque to us since we are NOT on the other side of the table? If this question is found pretty straight, then the obvious answer is yes. But here, we're just answering the very straight question. The hidden question, however, always remains unanswered since we never dare to question the very question. The problem here is, we don't, rather never, raise reprobation against ourselves for possessing this attitude. And the exactly opposite attitude of being enterprising what makes "them" to sit on the other side, "the rare side" of the table.

I must say, we all carry, or so to speak, had carried in the past, or still will carry in the fore-years, hundreds of thousands of ideas, and few nut cracker ones, what we believe are worth to be implemented, and if done so, would eventually result into a successful enterprise. We, however, sit on them, hatching them, and leave ourselves excoriate if implemented by others, and take pride in ourselves that those ideas were thought off by us well ahead of them. The irony is, there is no reason to overwhelm for being the first thinker, rather a reason to despise this very attitude of us, since we just did NOTHING but thinking on them. Shame on us.

Being enterprising starts with being aggressive on implementing the idea what we think "a billion pound" idea. So, is implementing the idea just enough the worth to see "a billion pound" in it? In my opinion, projection is very important. The projection of what problem the idea is expected to solve. The projection to observe well ahead in time as to how to make the implementation of the idea as a solution to the problem. The plan how to make the implementation publicly available so that the solution to the problem can be applied in real.

Many occasions, I am reproofed on carrying a sort of a pessimistic attitude when I sight a problem. However, on my mind, I keep on imagining what could be the solution to the problem. If we have a problem to face, there has to be a solution to solve the same. Often, there are many possible solutions to a problem. However, only a few are implementable. Of course, each implementation has its ways and means the way it can be engineered. But they are the part of solving the problem. So engineering minds never get afraid of "the way to do" if the problem and the solution to the problem appeals them.

My simple take on this is we should keep asking ourselves, "are we really enough enterprising?" If the answer is NO there's definitely a serious concern we should raise. If the answer is YES, there's a bigger concern to be raised since we are, unfortunately, NOT doing anything on that front.

Let's try to bring a change in ourselves to make ourselves more and more enterprising. Every time we find a problem, let's attempt to think of providing a workable solution to the problem. Let's engineer the solution to the problem. Let's build an enterprise. Business will definitely follow.

(21st JUNE) WORLD MUSIC DAY

              There is one small article on the front page of Sakal Newspaper which explodes thought of "SAINT KABIR" - "Music without words takes your mind to SHOONYA,
                               Forgetting your mind status means Meditation,
                               Meditation takes you to the Source,
                              And SOUND is the source of everything" .

It means Sound in the music takes you to the origin of everything.

But according to me- "Sound comes from the Nature,so Nature is the Source of EVERYTHING".

So let us celebrate the "World Music Day"  and show some respect towards Nature.

Origin of SOACH

         There is a very thin boundary between SOACH and INVENTION. Inventions are not based on your SOACH but they are based on the timing of your SOACH. The ideas which come out when you are out of thinking process, are the genuine ideas and can be EXPLODE (not EXPLORE) in reality. So when you get a freeeeeeeeeeee time (not free time) try to EXPLODE yourself. And that EXPLOSION is nothing but your SOACH. For me the freeeeeeeee time is TEA TIME. So thats the origin of my "SOACH".
