Top 10 Late Night Driving Thoughts

Every Night ride is a form of retrospection

  • Had to plan for travel a day before. Based on last home cleaning experiences, it necessary to clean up things not to let them get rotten
  • Car interior cleaning, dust removal, and a few things to do to keep interiors clean
  • Every ride starts with jasmine and due respect for the ghost rider
  • Started exactly in the start of night @9.30PM
  • Barely 1.5 hours to reach Krishnagiri. Few instances due to really slow vehicles had to do a bit out of road turns
  • From there to Ambur @ 12, Vellore @ 1AM
  • It was good a bit of bio break, few biscuits, refuel the ghost, let the engine cool down few minutes
  • The songs were good, Had a mental map of things to do. Between the last trip to the current trip at least the thoughts of life, relationships, marriage changed. We don't really find anything as good as it looks or as good as it feels. Time and mindset decide. Do not assume what you do not have as things you miss.
  • A mix of dust, fog, long trailers made the next cut from Walajah to Chennai dusty, foggy
  • Too many diversions, barricades, too many delays to slow down these, At least there was not much dust on another side

Overall stars, Ilayaraja songs and the peaceful ride is the pleasure and ambience to think.

Life need not be forced with things to have or things must-have. Life will be better when you stay away from negative thoughts. Do not become someone you will regret later. Keep going, travel, build memories, go for nature, Keep Driving!!!

Some people are meant to live alone to shine and find the best within themselves.

  • Things happen when they are supposed to happen;
  • Believe in yourself and your body and
  • Believe in the decisions you have taken in life.

Keep Going!!!

Joker Quotes

You become strongest when you have nobody to share your sadness with

Sometimes it's better to react with no reaction

If you do not take risks you will end up working for someone who does

Walk away or try harder?

No matter how good a person you are, you are evil in someone's story

I have 3 sides

  • Funny Side
  • Quiet Side
  • The side you never want to see

The suspense of life - Who is praying for you or playing with you

Never put your happiness in someone's hands

The wrong people will always teach the right lessons

Three things in Life

  • Never beg anyone
  • Never trust anyone
  • Never depend on anyone

It's not your job to like me. It's mine

My choices are like fingerprints, They make me unique

Don't say maybe if you want to say no

Do not listen to those who only see your mistakes

If people have a problem with you it is their problem, not yours

Reply slowly..! No one respects those who reply fast

Life is like a very long TV show without a remote control

Do not allow negative people to turn you into one of them

Your attitude determines your altitude of life

Some people just act they are trying to help you

Keep Going!!!

Wandering thoughts

I am building things with my own dreams and this race of life

I look inside the cage I built when will I be free from work, life, money

I love to live free, wonder, wander


I keep looking out for the one who is going to wonder, wander together


Is it all an illusion

Why I may never work for a startup

I was thinking about what motivates me

  1. Technology does not motivate me, The same CRUD(Create / Read / Update / Delete) can be done in million ways and dozen tools. All I care about is some tech that would fit my tech need.
  2. My mind keeps wandering on multiple ideas. I don't pick one idea and sit on it forever. Sometimes you read papers, you try some blog code, examples. It is a mix, collect and lot of ideas and let your creativity and interest pick what you like
  3. It is a race to compete for technology and domain knowledge. I would rather focus on solving business problems and learn required tech on a need basis than trying to master tech and go for domain
  4. In 20 years so much has changed in tech. To observe the new business process, how technology shapes the 2.0, 3.0 supply chain is great learning. Applying a mix of both domain and tech to be on par with the evolving landscape is my interest
  5. Health is going down these days. I would rather be comfortable and creative than pushing my limits. I wish to be a learner, coder. You cannot win all the battles. Pick and chose
  6. At some point, I need to write books, more blogs on my lessons both personal, professional. In a way, we are in a mentally pressured space. Too much competition and clarity and purpose and being clear needs constant revival and focused mindset
  7. I have lost interest in money. I have connected with dozens of startups. I personally know the landscape, the tech they are solving. In a way, I am happy with the tech and business problems. Able to see and see how things evolve is more important than titles and company.
  8. I believe teaching is equally important, mastering fundamentals. Adding value does not come from being online or replying to every email. It comes with deliverables, passion to do personally. We may not excel in anything but few things close to our heart we can be at our best
  9. Now looking back on my 24 hours deployment, those critical moments in my work I do cherish those awards and being able to stand in times of crisis. Always domain knowledge helped me shape up to solve things and push for them. 
  10. Learn more, Live the best you can, regret less, add less guilt. In the end, only memories matter, Halfway done. Keep the last half a bit more contented and satisfied.

Keep going!!!

Loyalty

The enemies of Loyalty are lust and greed. The reason why two people don't stay loyal is that they lack the internal willpower to see a common vision. Anything we do not namesake will neither have any involvement or commitment. Life has to have balance even when tempted to try to stay within one's own right beliefs. 

A mistake done twice is a habit. It is the strong beliefs or underlying thoughts that keep us during the tough moments. Guard yourself against being both emotionally and mentally in the right direction. What feeds your mind will eat your life. Keep lust and greed away from your Life.

Valentine's Day

Some songs and lyrics for different moments of love

Love moment

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Source - A Thousand Years - Christina Perri


Breakup

The scars of your love remind me of us

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love, they leave me breathless

I can't help feeling

We could have had it all


Source - Rolling in the Deep - Adele


Breakup

Where are you now?

Atlantis

Under the sea

Under the sea

Where are you now?

Another dream

The monster's running wild inside of me

I'm faded

I'm faded

So lost, I'm faded

I'm faded

So lost, I'm faded 


Source - Alan Walker Lyrics - "Faded"


Breakup

Should've known your love was a game

Now I can't get you out of my brain

Oh, it's such a shame

That we don't talk anymore

We don't talk anymore

We don't talk anymore


Source - We Don't Talk Anymore - Charlie Puth


Healing

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

"Don't forget me, " I begged

I remember you said

"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"


Source - Adele - Someone Like You (Lyrics)


Healing

Well, you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missing home

Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Oh, oh, mm, oh

And you let her go

Oh, oh, uh, uh

Well, you let her go

Source - Passenger | Let Her Go (Official Video) 


Life

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid (yeah)

To take a stand, it's been a ride

Everybody, I guess I had to

Go to that place

To get to this one

Now some of you

Weekend Plans - What to do ?

What all to do at the weekend. Reading up is something but other than that

  • Alcohol - Anything you would spend 2K - 3K. Bad for health, good for loneliness
  • Pubs / Catchup - This too is even more expensive. Any way following up for potential hope or relationships anywhere is a challenge 
  • Feasting Alone - Eating also too much bad...Eating + drinks to Leave all this Travel is the best bet.
  • Travel - Again 2k-3k adds up every weekend. Company is the moon, stars, and the chillness. Sometimes solitude is beautiful. In a way your company the beautiful Ilararaja songs. 
Sometimes we pass the moment, we don't actually live. Even a daily worker has a small happy family. Sometimes too much education, corporate titles kill the purpose of life. :)

Life Thoughts



 

   


Keep Thinking!!!

Art of war

 


Win your mind win your world
Good preperation
Victory is decided before battle (AI / ML :)
Realistic of Strength and Weakness
Self awareness to understand enemies
Avoid conflict without fighting
Pick and choose battle
Fight chosen battle with all your strength
Strike quickly, minimal use of resources
Observe Enemy do not expose yourself
Defence implies lack attack implies abundance
Exploit your enemies mistake
Measure, calculate before making move
Lead with wisdom and compassion

Keep Thinking!!!

Solitude

 


Healthy ways of being in Solitude
Opportunities to grow as a person
Meditation, Reflection, Achieve Goals
Be your own Guest
Self hospitality, Same love for ours
Taking care of ego 
Act of cleaning has a meditative effect
Loneliness is a perception
Sit with it
Being alone is an opportunity for introspection
Chase your dreams, Leave the herd mentality, Get new perspectives
Achievements come with sacrifice
Embrace your time alone, State of joy



Keep Thinking!!!

Minimalism



Consume what you need
Do not overburden material possessions
Do not accumulate more ego, more sense of self
Live with no more than necessary
More is Less, Less is more
Ability to Let go is True Wealth
Live with bare essentials, Keep it simple
Get rid of unnecessary objects
Give up Status and possession
Achieve with a minimal amount of resources
What we have seems to determine our place in society
The joy of simple living, The less you own less you lose
Spend more time around us
The middle path you need to choose
Food, Shelter, and human connections we need to focus
Fame, Power is unnecessary as they are limitless
Simplicity is sophistication


Keep Thinking!!!

Lyrics - Unakena Iruppen - Kadhal Movie

I will be with you, I will give my life to be with you 
If at all you leave me, I will die before you
Oh my dear, Oh my dear, Don't cry, I am your companion with you in this Life
I will be with you, I will give my life to be with you 
When I leave you, I will die before you
My eyes can withstand tears of suffering for you but you see you struggle with me
The flowers decorated in the cemetery will they see the little light flies at night
The birds that build the nest on electric poles with the hope of survival amidst the danger of facing electrocution
We will come over all these struggles
The rivers that divert themselves to reach the oceans, the coming times will heal the wounds
Not just the moonlight but also the light flies will also give some light of hope for us
You left your family for me, I have to fulfill all the things you miss
When you rest on my shoulders I take the responsibility to face all the hardships for you
To get you the warm water I will burn myself as the woods to get the fire
I will keep all our dreams alive for you. It's not me it's you in me. I suffer when I see you cry...
I will be with you, I will give my life to be with you 
If at all you leave me, I will die before you
Oh my dear, Oh my dear, Don't cry, I am your companion with you in this Life

There can be love without lust, bonding without marriage. Its eternal relationships.

The music is a brilliant score. What a song, Amazing lyrics, great music. Awesome long live Muthu Kumar memories and his contributions.

Keep Going!!!
