Just some random thoughts straight from the heart,what ever I feel just put it across!!
Your time to sit back, relax and have some fun reading the blog
A poem dedicated to all the people facing life as it comes with a :) on their face
It feels as if I have travelled miles,but my voyage has just begun I believe I am walking the path that you've chosen for me the one with stones pebbles mountain sand and rivers Where i meet people of all kind good and bad the path untravelled unexplored, the one thats waiting just for me let me spread love that dwells within me for better let me stand up and face my fears years gone by and cold winters have i seen, its alrite if there are more, lined up for me! I will keep goin on until the end, coz one thing I treasure is my faith and strength Every morning I wake up seems like I have travelled miles, but the truth is my voyage has just begun!
What happened today was a little unusual. I boarded a bus to reach my work place and damn the bus driver was driving so rash. He drove the bus as if he owned the road. People in the bus who were seated were all fine, but I felt pity for the one's standing. They were completely dangling from one end to another and I was one of them. laugh.
Just wondered that the driver must have had a big fight with his wife last night, or another good thing to say was he should have been an airplane pilot. The rash driving really made me feel what it would feel to be traveling in an airplane.
The ride was a rough one but I don't know I still felt happy. I felt am all geared up to face the day with a smile having such a rough ride in the morning.
But it really shouldn't be that way. I really feel he must have exceeded the speed limits and that's a matter of concern. What if he happened to hit a car, or a person crossing the road, why was he in so much hurry. All these questions were popping up in my mind when I was in the bus.
So many people die every year due to rash driving. Do they forget they have some one who's waiting all day for them to come home.
Drive safely people. You never know what comes your way right???? Happy Driving!! But Safely. TAKE CARE.. :)
I happened to meet ma friends last week…n just while having a chat we happened to plan a small one day trip.
We all wanted to chill, hav fun and relax and the amusement park was the best place we cud think off. I feel a bit low when I say this but I went to this amusement park for the first time n all of ma friends hav been there lik twice or thrice..no worries..atleast I went there this time..lol. :)) I had a fantastic time there. Four of us set off early in the morning for the amusement park.. on a Sunday..I ws damn excited..coz u all know now..I love adventure, fun n thrill. This was the day I was waiting for from a long time. We also enjoyed the boat ride coz this park is a bit isolated from the city on a small island and we need to go there by a boat.
I am not boasting of maself..but among ma four friends I was the only one who enjoyed every ride..even the most thrilling ones. ma friends didn’t even dare try sitting on big ones. It was jus me..who ws jumping in excitement …but that’s how I am.
It was 1 in the noon..we had food…relaxed a bit and then again were off to enjoy the remaining rides. The most exciting ride was of course the roller coaster , there were two roller coasters. I enjoyed both of them and that too multiple times. One more exciting ride that freaked me out was the “Thunder”..ahh it was awesome. It was a two seated ride..but no one was sitting next to me. I had to sit alone. This ride just scared the shit outta me..evn I closed ma eyes in between..but thn whn I calmed down a bit I opened them again coz it gave a wonderfull view of the complete park.
Ohh it was a wonderful day..we left at 5.30 in the evening..and it took me..2 hours to reach home. One more thing that I forgot to tell u is that it was raining the whole day..we all were getting wet in the rain..but enjoyed it a lot. Evn after havin so much fun..aftr goin home I met some of my other frnds..for lik an hour..told them all the fun I had in the park..and me n ma other frnds decided that we will again go to that park. Wat a beautiful day it was..wanna go again with ma other friends..n I will…n the nxt time it will b more fun..coz this is a big group of frnds that I have.

I always had that fascination towards adventure sports.
River
Water Rafting, Bungee Jumping, Para Gliding, Trekking, Safaries, and Road Trips

become a traveler.

adventure stuff. Well haven’t tried anyone of these sports but it is my dream
to try all of this, and I am sure it will come true one day.

With
ups and down..highs and lows I enjoy the rollercoaster ride! I laugh, cry,
shout my lungs out, feel numb, the adrenalin level shoots up and sometimes its
less than the normal, the heartbeat increase as never before, my heart bleeds
with excruciating pain, I feel m gonna die, but somhow I manage to hang on and
enjoy the ride.
I am
a person who loves adventure.. there’s adventure everywhere..all around me.
Wonder what rollercoaster I am talking about.. it’s the rollercoaster of “LIFE”.
I enjoy traveling every bit on it, whether I feel good or bad, it teaches me to
hang on to that seat and never let go. This is what I have learnt from it..
aint that a wonderful lesson.
“Never
let go” jus three words but they mean a lot. Hope you learn to enjoy ur ride too..the one's who
experience it for the first time will feel a bit whacked out n scared.. but
there’s no other fun than enjoyin the rollercoaster of life.
In the beginning I closed my eyes and hung on to the seat scared to death. I didn't open my eyes until I knew that when I close my eyes I am losing on the fun,excitement and the thrill I can enjoy with my eyes open. Slowly slowly I learnt to enjoy the roller coaster with my eyes open..and believe me the view from the top of the coaster scares the shit out of you..n is more whacked out when you come down with lightening speed!!Ohh i miss that so much jus feel like enjoyin the coaster ride as I am writing this post.
I
have enjoyed the real rollercoaster ride just once in my life till now, when I gave a visit to
the fun park!! I can still remember I sat 12 times in it. The count will tell
you how crazy I am for rollercoaster’s.
HAv
FuN on ur
coaster!! and don’t close ur
eyes, its more fun whn they are wide open.
It was the last day of my 12th board exam and the last paper to be attempted was Math II, I had an aversion for math from my school days can’t help it, and it still hasn’t changed a bit. Well I attempted the paper and there I was out of the examination hall feeling relieved.
All my friends including me were supposed to go for a movie on the last day of exam, but I had to give them a silly reason about attending a pooja so that I could be able to go for an interview in an international call center. It was more than a year that I and my family were staying without my father. No one to earn in the family and two siblings and a mother whom I had to look after, this was the reason for attending the interview.
I got through the interview and then after that day my life completely changed. The CallCenter, this term was new to me, I only knew that we still were working like slaves for the British. The British outsourced their work and earned profit, also had to pay the Indians in rupees and get all the work done in time. Well they knew from a long time back how to rule and get things done from us, it was not new for them. Working in the call center I learned a lot. The British accent was one of my favorite. We had to give mock calls to the team leader and my mock call was the best of all the recent new joiners. I was the youngest of all the people working in the call center. And my general manager appreciated me a lot for putting efforts and getting very good sales for the company.
The company had arranged a small function where the employers were supposed to be appreciating their employees I thought I wouldn’t be getting any appreciation because I was just a fresher, the team leader was hosting the function with loud music on the floor, everybody enjoying to the max, working in call centers you hardly get to enjoy apart from parties and appraisal functions. The team leader was about to announce the next award now and that was the Best Agent Award of the month with the highest number of transaction clear sales, which means that the agent who’s sales were quality check clear and the agent who’s given the highest number of sales in that month. To my surprise it was me who won that award. I was extremely happy that day, because I was rewarded and appreciated for my work which I was craving for. It was difficult working in a call center, the agents work at that time when all the rest of the people are fast asleep in their bed.
I would recognize the noise of our sumo car that came for a pick up at my house from a long distance away because I was so used to listening to that noise everyday. It was 3pm and time to go to work. The same old briefing of the team leader everday and she warning us if there are no sales no dinner break for you guys had become a daily routine now. I cleared my 12th standard and had to take admission not knowing what I want to learn ahead. I got myself an admission in the college where I applied for a bachelor’s course in Information Technology as I thought it was an emerging field. It had become a lot more difficult now. The college in the morning and the call center in the night. This is how my day began..
I woke up at 5 am to get ready for college as I had a morning college and a 7 am lecture to attend. The college got over by 1 in the afternoon, I always had to miss the last lecture because I had to reach home before 3, have lunch, rest a while and then wait for the sumo car to arrive and go to work. My call center shift ended at 12.30 pm sometimes it was even 1 am in the night, the time was not fixed as sometimes I had briefing sessions with the team leader after the shift also. It was almost 5 hours I slept at night everyday. It was becoming difficult day by day the night shift and my college studies everything just messed up. The Situation was getting worse in the call center, very less sales now. I thought as if my life was just coming to a standstill. The tension of clearing the math paper in the exam and whether I would get a sale today at the call center were the thoughts that wouldn’t let me sleep even in those 5 hours that I slept.
Well I cleared my math paper and it just got worse at the call center. It was a year and a half at the call center now and while I was working I was promoted as a Sr Agent and then as a Team Coach with more responsibilities followed by more stress and also working under a lot of pressure. One day when I was at my college attending a lecture, I didn’t sleep well the last night just thinking about how my day was going to be at the call center. I just went unconscious in the classroom , all my friends gathered around me to see what happened to me. A friend of mine had to come home to drop me as I was feeling weak, it was a horrible day I had at college, but I still had to go to work because I couldn’t afford to loose that day’s pay at work. It was a long nightmare I was just waiting for this nightmare to come to an end and yes it did come to an end after a year and a half. This 1 and half year nightmare ended when I decided I am not continuing anymore with my job because it was impossible for me to study and work. I had to be serious with my studies because I had to appear for my IT final exam and it was not a cake walk. I left my job when I was to appear for my 4th semester exam, just a week later I had my 4th semester exams and I ranked first in the college. I had a lot of time to study as I was not working anymore and was extremely happy that the nightmare had come to an end.
I completed my graduation and I am working at a software firm now. You must be wondering why I have named the blog as “The Rock Flower”. Its because my name means a flower and a flower is so fragile and so was I, but I became as hard as a rock after going through this phase in my life where I had to struggle for living and feeding my family. Its not easy for a girl who’s just 18 to live without a father, take responsibilities at such a young age. I had to work my ass off when all my friends enjoyed their college life, watching movies, hanging around with friends and all I did was just sleep for 5 hours at night , take calls, hear bad words from the British people on the calls , ruin my health. Life was just hell but being in hell was when I learnt the lessons of life. How hard it is to survive in this world, but I am thankful to my mother and secondly to God who gave me the strength to survive. That fragile flower became a flower but it was no more fragile but as solid as a rock so that explains my story and why I named the blog as
“The Rock Flower”.
Thanks And Take Care..and no matter what happens in your life..be strong and face it!!
