Why can't we listen to other's advice

Are we built in such a way that we cant take any advice from others. I have been getting advices many times during my life time...Such advices includes:

1. Run (1991-1996)
2. Dont drink Fanta and such carbonated drinks (1996-2004)
3. Dont drink diet sodas (since 2008...)
4. Dont over eat (Since 2008...)

If only i heard these advices, i would be more fit and healthy.

When i see anyone over eating or if i see someone who does not give enough importance to studies, i feel like advising them. I get so tempted to advice them. But how can i expect them to listen to my advice, when i myself cant listen to other's advice, that i know is very much good for me..

My Point of View

 
I am trying everything i can to get what i want...

How long does love last??

I have been very busy in office since 3 weeks and i have been getting very very less time to spend with my 26 month old son. I meant the world to him till 3 weeks ago. He eyes used to emit sparkles when he sees me in the evening. I dont see them anymore. What a sad thing to happen. I hope things change.....

Soma taught me how to read TAMIL...

I have read Tamil before Soma introduced me to Tamil. I see a lot of people reading tamil novel. I am not sure how many of them read enjoying "small lines" within the novel. Exampe, in one of sujatha's novel, he says "Bathroom kku vilela Nariya Soap Petti Kathirundhadhu" (lot of soap boxes were waiting outside the bathroom). What a great imagination/ description from the author. Whenever i read Novels, i try to njoi such sweet lines. He is also the one who inspires me to Njoi the journey than the destination. Vaazhga Soma...

Currently i am reading Sujatha's Nila Nizhaal. I liked it when the novel refered to the village called Valadi in the novel. This is a village near Trichy from where one of my classmate came from during my ER High school days.

AR Rahman Rare Interview

Not as usual, i got up at 6 AM while the whole family was still sleeping. I wanted to listen to "VAzhga Vazhga song from Kadhal Virus. My search in raaga site didnt give any result. So i went to google. I got some youtube links and found this interview. I am so amazed how a young boy can produce music of a quality that came out in ROJA. When i listen to ARR's sakarakatti, i feel bad. How did such a great musician degrade in music? May be, the judgement of mine on sakarakatti is early, as i have listened to it only 2-3 times. But it has not attracted me much. Kuchelan sounds better.

I ate Punugulu and fulfilled my 5 year wish

I have been wanting to eat this delicious crispy snack since i left vijayawada in 2002. Its a great snack and i will never forget to refer to this food whenever i meet any telugu community. Recently one of my friend's mom turned up in US from Guntur. My friend remembered my love for punugulu and asked her mom to make this for me. When i visited her home today, i got a couple of plate loads of punugulu with dal chutney and allam chutney...I ate a lot...Finally i am happy....

Rajesh Gopalkrishnan Nair Missing....

Rajesh G Nair is my friend and we worked together in First Leasing company of india andd later in Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). I have lost his contacts. I think he no longer works for TCS. Let me see if the web world is helping me to find him. He may be in Mumbai, Bangalore, UK or in US. He may be in insuarance sector or in IT.

I loved her first

LYRICS

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

Every other weekend - My best song now...

WARNING: YOU WILL CRY IF YOU LISTEN TO THIS SONG

ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN A QUIET CAR







LYRICS

[Reba:]
Every other Friday
It's toys and clothes and backpacks
Is everybody in,
Okay, let's go see dad
Same time in the same spot
Corner of the same old parking lot
Half the hugs and kisses there are always sad
We tradecouple words and looks and kids again
Every Other weekend

[Kenny:]
Every other weekend
Very few exceptions,
I pick up the love we made in both my arms
It's movies on the sofa, grilled cheese and cut the crust off
"That's not the way mom makes it, daddy," breaks my heart
I miss everything I use to have with her again,
Every other weekend

[Kenny:]
I cant tell her I love her

[Reba:]
I can't tell him I love him

[Both:]
'Cause there's too many questions and years in the car

[Reba:]
So I don't tell him I miss him

[Kenny:]
I don't tell her I need her

[Both:]
She's(He's) over me, that's where we are

[Kenny:]
So we're as close as we may ever be again
Every other weekend

[Reba:]
Every other Saturday
Reba Mcentire - Every Other Weekend
lyrics from http://www.6lyrics.com
First thing in the morning
I turn the TV on to make the quiet go away
I know why, but I don't know why
We ever let this happen
Fallin' for forever was a big mistake
There's so much not to do and all day not to do with him
Every other weekend

[Kenny:]
Every other Sunday
I empty out my backseat
While my children hug their mother
In the parking lot
We don't touch,
We don't talk much,
Maybe goodbye to each other
As she drives away with every piece of heart I got,
I reconvince myself we did the right thing,
Every other weekend

[Kenny:]
I can't tell her I love her

[Reba:]
I can't tell him I love him

[Both:]
'Cause there's too many questions and years in the car

[Reba:]
So I don't tell him I miss him

[Kenny:]
I don't tell her I need her

[Both:]
She's(He's) over me that's where we are
We're as close as we may ever be again
Every other weekend

[Kenny:]
Yeah, for fifteen minutes,
We're a family again

[Reba:]
God, I wish that he was still with me again

[Kenny:]
Every other weekend

My Heart Burn

Last one month, i have been experiencing pain between my heart and stomach. They are not exactly heart burn but some kind of compression. I kept postponing doc's visit thinking it will go away. I got it especially after i eat some rich food like bagel or muffin or cream cheese. Then, one day, i visited Walgreens and the pharmasict asked me to take Pepcid(http://www.pepcid.com/index.jhtml). I am taking since 3 days (1-2 tablets a day,mostly 1). I dont see a change. May be i have to see a doc... :(

I forgot I have these at home!!!!!

There are things that we consider dear to us. We value them most. But, as time goes by we dont realise they are with us...Some such things in my life...

1. Running: It meant a lot to me and i kept running irrespective of all odds. Now i dont run anymore and i dont even realise that many days.




2. Treadmill: It just sleeps at home. When i heard from fellow americans that their treadmill is getting dusty in garage, i wondered. Not anymore...

3. HDTV and Movies: At one point, i used to record a lot of movies and see them tillmidnight or during my lunch time. Not anymore. No time...(is this an excuse)

amazing...

My Weight Increased by 7 pounds...

I managed to maintain my weight at 148-150 pounds for almost 4-5 months. Then, i had to stop running due to foot injury. Last 2 months, i have not been running at all. No other form of physical exercise too..My eating habits are bad now, not that i eat high calorie food. I have been overeating regular food. I guess 30% over my regular diet. Breakfast has been Bagel and Creamcheese as usual. I guess Lunch and Dinner are the culprits. Dinners were normally 1 pita or 1 paratha or 2 chapati. I am eating rice (should i say overeating) for dinner. My weight now is 157. This has to be stopped. So, what can i do? For starter, i plan to eat only one packet of oatmeal for dinner, i am not sure if i can eat the oats with water, i may mix with milk to boil it. I will post after a week about my progress.

GV Prakash An Insult to AR Rahman Gene

When i first heard about GV Prakash and him being relative of ARR made me watch him close. I listened to Vellithirai movie songs with interest...I liked "Kanji Paanai Mela". Then one fine day as i tuned into Y100 FM (Country Music Channel in San antonio), i heard "Somebody Like You" by "Keith Urban" in album "tour dates". Everything, Every note is just the same..I am sure he would have told the lyrics writer to listen to this engligh song and write a lyrics for that...I am not even sure if his music troop actualaly played it or he stole the sound track as well and put on Vellithirai....Sorry, Prakash Raj...You are a Original Guy and not sure if you knew this copy. Now, i really thiink, if any of his other songs are original or shifted from others. Let me listen to Y100 more...

I have stopped Running...

I am injured on my foot after my 10 mile run n Jan 28, 2008. I developed a nerve knot on my left foot (Imagine, what happens to feet after banging it to ground 8000 times...Yes, we hit our foot to ground 800 times per mile). I didnt care for it a lot in the beginning and continued to run 50 miles in Feb and 50 Miles in March. Then in April, as the pain started to become a real PAIN, i went a met a doc. He advised me to stop running immediately as i am hurting the feet even more. He asked me to come in 4 weeks and if its still bad, he has to use knife to cut it off and leave me in crutch till it heals....Oops....Now comes the realisation....I have stopped running since 3 weeks and my pain is completely subsided and the nerve knot is slowly curing. I am putting on a Callaus Holes to give it come comfort....Even after it cures completely i may run 3-4 miles per week...not more than 1 mile at a time...SO whats happened ot me now...I am still eating the same and with no excercise, i have put on 6 pounds....I tried to stop eating bagel for 3 days and reduced 3 pounds....Lets see what future has in stire..I am thinking of doing weights and crunch,...but have not implemented it yet...Imagine, if thinking of doing excercise can reduce weight and put muscles....
