Is there a thing called destiny ?

I believe yes.. There is something called destiny. Often people ask the question - " If everything is ordained , then what is the meaning of all which we do in our life ? If I'm destined to become famous in Computer Science, then why should I study ? why should I work ? Afterall it is guaranteed that I'll be famous one day " The answer is a little bit complex.. The inner meaning of destiny is something different.. It does not mean that everything you do / receive is already decided somewhere.. It means that some chances will come your way. . It is your part to capitalise on that... Some say that Shah Rukh Khan was destined to become a superstar. I'll interpret it in a different way.. Shah Rukh came across some chances , in which destiny played a part...Infact many people would have had come across similar chances. But SRK capitalised on those opportunities...And ofcourse, fortune favours the brave.. Similarly at one point or other all of will come across...

Saw two movies in TV.... Pretty old ones. First one was Mani Ratnam's classic - Bombay ... This is a movie that every Indian must see. .Wonderful camerawork coupled by a touching storyline..The roots of communal divide existing in India...I really wonder if people are really this much sensitive to this kind of propaganda...Just by hearing somebody did something somewhere,they take arms and massacre their friends in the name of community. If education has not been able to remove this kind of a mindset, the it is utterly useless...Unless India improves in this sector, these kinds of incidents are bound to happen at one point or other... Part of the blame goes to the beurocratic setup/constitution ..When you take a child for admission in a school , religion is one of the mandatory fields...The divide starts there... Although I'm a Hindu, if ever there is an option to put your caste/religion as 'Independent' ,i would love to go with that... Religion is an individual's ...

My perspective.

It has been quite a long time since i registered here...A bit of uncertainity is always there in my mind whenever i tend to do anything like this which is visible to everyone..Anyway i'm venturing into this arena... It has been more than one year since i set my foot in this city...Hyderabad,the mystic city of Nizams and the ultra modern IT establishments....the city of delicious food and parties.. I still remember vividly the day when we got down at Begumpet Airport....And then , the next day we started exploring Hyd with a copy of city map....Oh..that was wonderful...And finally we managed to reach Hussain Sagar,...The atmosphere was totally new.... Last tuesday, i completed one year in Oracle.. .I cannot say that this tenure in great/excellent...but it has been certainly good..I feel i have had a good start to my professional career... I would say, the darkest spot for me in last year was Sajid's demise... Like all of us,he too came here...
