A near MISS!!!!!

It was 22nd Oct.....The rain was drenching the entire bangalore, the CHRISTITES are all excited about TCS Recruitment so am I...because TCS is one company I was dying from my UG days to get in....but as usual my bad luck won the battle again.Yes I was one among the 24 out of 100 who cleared their aptitude and they have handed over the TCS form to be filled for the further process.......but then came the SHOCKER of my life.Yes people who have more than 24 months of experience are not qualified for the further process....Unfortunately I was also one among the unlucky four......But thats the part n parcel of the placement processssssssssss.I have undergone the same pain in my UG days also,so it didnt hurt me.And yes i belive TCS is not lucky enough to have me in their TAG...

Broken Promise and Relation

People always say an acquaintance will become friend in my case it was opposite......
Yes,me being a friend turned into an acquaintance.I thought she is one of a very few who understood me very well.But I am wrong.I didnt even know whether we have become strangers.I thought and believe that a friend can say anything,but that proved to be wrong in my case,may be i thought we have better understanding but than i am wrong again.Still I am not sure about this,as in a friend can say something,may I can take this as a lesson and will try to follow.I still cant figure out the reason as why this gap was created between us.I still fear that she in the wrong hands,all i pray is she will soon understand me,will get back to me with the same realtionship as we had.

What LIFE means to me.......

Life, its all about touching-
Bringing sunshine to others
Who dwell in gloom,
Giving a word of encouragement
To the faint hearted.
Gentle squeezes of a hug
To lift the spirit,
Wiping tears
From those that are crushed.
A kind word to an elder
To show they are loved,
Blessing the birth
Of a newborn child.
Holding of the hands
Sharing the warmth,
Giving our hearts
To commitments in life.
Sharing that special love
With someone so close,
It only takes a second
To touch a longing heart
Only to make a difference.

Who is a FRIEND?

Friend And Acquaintance

There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend. An acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable
around.

It’s a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But they are people who you don’t share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don’t understand because you don’t know enough about them.

On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are “in love” with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless.

Friends are the people you feel safe around because you know they care about you. They call just to see how you are doing, because a friend doesn’t need an excuse. They tell you the truth, the first time, and you do the same. You know that if you have a problem, they are there to listen.

Friends are the people who won’t laugh at you or hurt you, and if they do hurt you they try hard to make it up to you. They are the people you love, regardless of whether you realize it.

Friends are the people you cried with when you got rejected from colleges and during the last song at the prom and at graduation. They are the people that when you hug them, you don’t think about how long to hug and who’s going to be the first one to let go.

Maybe they are the people that hold the rings at your wedding, or maybe they are the people who give you away at your wedding, or maybe they are the people you marry. Maybe they are the people who cry at your wedding because they are happy or because they are proud.

They are the people who stop you from making mistakes and help you when you do. They are are the people whose hand you can hold, or you can hug or give them a kiss and not have it be awkward because they understand the things you do and they love you for them.

They stick with you and stand by you. They hold your hand. They watch you live and you watch them live and you learn from them. Your life is not the same without them.

Past Present Future

Many times in my life I have disappointed you,and begun to stray.But you have pointed me in the right direction,and sent me on my way. Many times in my life I've needed a helping hand,and someone to pull me up.It was you who gave that helping hand,and always cheered me up. Many times I've been sad and down,and taken it out on you.But you stood by me and comforted me,In times that I was bad. Many times I've needed support,and to know someone was there.It was you who held me up,and showed me how to care. Many times I've wanted to tell you this,But never got a chance.You have helped me out in life,and got me where I am. You were there for me through thick and thin,You never gave up on me and you taught me how to care.From the deepest of my heart I want to say I love you,And to thank you for being there for me in times of good or bad . . .



Good Bye my love forever . . .
Suddenly you came to my heart
Suddenly you said good bye to my heart
Without telling a single word on love
Can you remember the very first day..
I argue with you "we are not matching"
But you neglect it.
I know now you are waiting to tell me"Can you give up me????"
Isn't it my dear
No worries..
No doubts..
You can do it
Because you know
Everyday..
Every hour..
Every minute..
Every second..
I'm thinking how I made you happy.
I'm sorry if I made anything sad on our memorable pastI'm telling you this not to hurt you dear
But its the reality
We have to face it
So..Good Bye my love forever . . .

Now
Struggling to live for a purpose-I know not
Finding no joy in things supposed to be done
I live, I eat, I drink , I sleep, I talk..
I keep on moving in a never ending circle..
Where had I lost the dreams of my youth
Where had I left my smiles to celebrate
Words do no more supporting for my cheering
Words do no more healing for my throbbing
Like a bird with no more wings to fly
Like a tree with no more leaves to shed
I stand beside this time that is moving
I stand beside this life that is changing
Hoping for a new sunrise to come my way
Hoping for a new crack of dawn for me to live . . ..........

Who I am now?

My heart had broken once an d i was reduced to pieces,all i had was pain and sorrow.....Still living to pick up the LIFE's lost pieceswith a belief in myself.I had vowed to myself to never fall in love again,neverto give my heart away,no no never ever againto break my heart into pieces and never to go through all the pain.........My belief in love was lost and I no more cared about anyonein myselfexcept myself.All my feelings are gone with all the damages done............until you came to me and said I LOVE YOU,you came into my life like a breath of fresh air,I never thought i could LOVE again,still not sure that I can love you or not........Never thought someone would care for me,besides my friends.
You are like ANGEL,spreadng LOVE around me now..........but I dont know whether I am qualified for that.All my heartache was gone and feels better.My dreams for your life might not be the same one you seek,always.But,one thingremain same,your happines will always be my greatest pleasure and treasure for me,even though your hand may slip awy from mine..........

I ME MYSELF................

I am Rathinavel.C

I exist. I am no automated message service. I am living.

This Is Me
Well, you know me as 'Rathinavel'. "Ratty" is what my friends call me, it’s my nick name.

I strongly believe that you should be known for the work you do, and your work should not be known for who you are. Let me be known for the work I do, and once you read this entire page I would seem more like a friend than some stranger.

But Who Am I?
I am someone just like you. Possibly a reflection of yours.

I am someone
who gets easily lost in today's fast paced life.
who wants to stop for a while and wait and watch how life moves.
who wants to be myself. Wants to be accepted for what I am.
who wants to appreciates life.
who wants to live and not to exist.
who wants to change the world; well at least a few things in life.

I really don’t know how this world percieves about me…….This world is full of illusions no no fake illusions.It expects only false images from the people…….Rightly said by a philisopher,it is very hard to exist in this world if you want to be yourself…..You will have to face many problems and difficulties…………..And this is what I am experiencing now………..but still existing ,may be I won the battle I don’t know…..the future has to answer.But still I want to be myself

Where You Can Find Me?
Early morning a few feet away from the place I slept
Sometimes at morning walk
Over the Internet
Biking throughout the town

What matters most to me is
The number of lives i touch everyday around this World.
The smiles i bring(though rarely); happiness I spread
The positive impact my work has on individuals
people who i help to move ahead in life
people who I inspire to achieve their dreams

Me, My Life and My World
My idea of life is to live it to the fullest; make the most of it, and make everyone a part of it.

Most of the people find it odd to know that I am a very normal person because of my personal apperance, and this is a proven thing for me and I don't have any answer for this.But I do feel an immense satisfaction in continuing with it. I believe that I have made a small but meaningful contribution to this world by telling NO to OTHERS and will continue to do it as long as I can.

Am I proud of of my small little achievement ? Yes, I am. But what I am more proud of is of the fact that I was able to prove to myself that while I lived - in this ocean of humanity, I am a drop that made a difference to few.

There are two ways of spreading light, either be a candle or the mirror reflects it. I am not a soul with that level of integrity to be a candle and nor it can be possible, but I am trying my best to be a mirror.

The Other Side of My Life
By other side of my life I mean - Ratty in offline mode. I am like anyone else. Difficult to put myself in words.

I'm a simple person from 'PONDICHERRY',presently trying to ROCK Bangalore, who loves spending time listening to music, biking, going for a drive, a walk besides sea-shore near by my home, or being online. I'm a part-time poet, part-time writer, part-time photographer, part-time researcher and a part-time part timer and more of a computer geek. Phew....

I seek challenges; I think I have a huge appetite for challenges. "Challenges are what I seek, Passion is what I put and Success is what I deliver." - that's the way I sum it up. Now that I am back to college, thankfully there are a very few close people who take care of me while I am miles away.

I love music - instrumental, Alternative, Old tamil, in fact I guess anything that sounds good. Not much of a movie freak, but what I love most is Comedies. Favourite movies are those that make me laugh out.. a few to name will be 'Vassol Raja MBBS'. Of the recent ones I liked 'Sivaji' .Of the recent ones which I found very inspiring is Rang De Basanti.

I read a lot. Mostly on Internet, and lot of books to. Few favorites – All novels by Dan Brown, Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, On Wings of Eagle by Ken Folett, Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John Maxwell, The Monk who sold his Ferrari by Robin Sharma, and The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman

Sports.... its a crime in India if one says he doesn't like Cricket., Not a die hard fan of Cricket...but do catch up sometimes when India plays.I love Sachin Tendulkar for his humble behaviour and Steven Waugh for never say die attitude. I love Formula1 cars like crazy, would be a dream come true if I ever get a chance to buy one of those cars. Speed thrills me, specially when you can feel it on a bike.... I'm one of those who loves speed... I gave up rash driving after a couple of accidents; some of them are quite funny, even laugh over them at times.

Something About You...
And by this time, even I got to know something about you. You've got lots of patience that you are still reading till this line. Hope I didn't bore you.
