Getting Tensed?
As I was speaking to my sister today, I learned a new thing about “Getting Tensed!”. However people might have come across the same and this post might look stupid. However it is worth getting an update / refresh something on this topic.
“What to do?” this is the general attitude of people who gets tensed often. Getting tensed often make people lose their beauty and charm in the face and often lead to a dull / grim face. It is not only the physical beauty; also it tends people to lose their confidence in life. I had a colleague who was stressed enough by multiple pressure got into the trap and was never able to come out of it. He used to get hits after hits and he is helpless. I was happy enough extending my sincere prayers to God to get him relieved of such tension and be firm in his ways. I used to suffer from tensed situation which makes me feel bad and helpless. Thank God for intervening in my issue and helped me to get out of the scuffle.
I have learned to get out of the tensed situation; I thought for a while and found it to be true. May be this post could kick start your mind to focus on getting out of the trouble in a tensed scenario.
Well it would be curious to get to know how did I got out of the scuffle. Initially, for me it started with me not passing the school. I really got tensed, frustrated and did not understood the way out of it. Finally, it is God who intervened in my life spreading joy all over and made me feel easy.
From that day I kind of slowed down in getting tensed for trivial things. Now, I am expecting miracles from God rather than getting tensed and making myself in the dark. As we grow in our busy life it is common to get tensions; but getting tensed does matter. Amidst all tension we got to act swiftly but stay calm at heart and attend to the tension. Otherwise tension overcomes us and we will fall as a victim.
So it is better to trust in God when you are in pain, tensed and worried about the way out. He is the only person who can get us out of the tensed situations. Start praying to God today if you have not started yet! You should start speaking to God like we speak to our father. This is the simple start to your prayerful & tension free life.

WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get)
In the IT world there is a terminology which says WYSIWYG which stands for “What you see is what you get”. Take for instance any Word Processor, you will get the same as you see while typing. I would like to coin a new term as if English is in short of words. Anyways the term I was thinking was “WYDIWYG” it would be really hard to pronounce.
However it is the fact that you will get what you dream. So “WYDIWYG” stands for “What you dream is what you get”. Dreaming is an art and it depends on the attitude of a person. If a pervert dreams about filling his/her lust then they would end up their life in doing all kind of nasty things and will die of the same. Whereas a positive dreamer grows in the way he is determined to grow.
I have seen people who have dreamed positively and reached success. And at the other end I have seen perverts turned into beggars and wander in the streets. The point I would like to stress here is to dream positively with clean mind and heart. That is where I love the teachings of Jesus Christ who has given a good teaching about the life which every human should live.
People reading this: I am asking a question to you! Where are you on your dreams? Are you positive in your attitude and do things right and dream positively? then you are in the right path of your life. If not, it is the right time to mend yourself and get on to the right track.

Survival of the fittest!
Today I got myself reminded about a lesson which I studied at early school days about the Jungle. It would say that the Lion is the “King of the Jungle” and only the fittest can survive in the Kingdom. How true is that in the real life! To survive it is really hard these days.
New technology, new ways of communication, new culture, new trends, new lingo, new desires and what not; things keep going on. May be this blog might not have anything to give you as take away, but be reminded where you stand.
The world we live is only for the fittest. Lets update ourselves with the things we would require keep ourselves the fittest. Above all, without the mercy of the Lord nothing would happen.

Presence of Mind
I used to wonder about the presence of mind that people mostly elder would always say. But yesterday I found that to be different from what people say. I would term that “Gods Lead”. Let me go on and explain what happened to me yesterday.
I wished that I could get a own house for myself. I drove 25 kms to a place where my relatives told that here is a house for sale. My wife and I went there to see them by morning 7 ‘O’ Clock. Everything went well and the moment we were starting home I sensed my car was creating some trouble. Somehow, I managed to drive the car to home.
I got ready to office and started my car. The car was normal and I have covered 4 kms. The car gave more indications that it would stop in the middle of the road. I stopped the car in the parking for 2 mins and started to drive again. At that moment I felt someone from my inner heart saying me to drive the car to Car repair shop rather driving to Office.
However, I would have managed to drive the car to office. But listening to my inner heart, I drove directly to the repair shop. The mechanic was diagonising the car and said that the engine was about to cease. I thank god that he saved my life.
The coolant in the car went into the engine as the casket broke.
I finally reached home and took my two wheeler and started driving to office. That evening it rained heavily. I was thinking then, if I have taken the car to office, I would have landed in trouble a lot. Another interesting thing has happened.
As it rained heavily, I was driving my bike slowly. A person was asking for lift. This is how I understand about the “Gods leading”. If I was driving a car I wouldnt stop for a lift. I stopped for helping that person. His bike got dampened and it didnt start. I was asking him whether I should help him in getting his bike started. But he said his father came with him and he is shivering because of cold and wanted my to drop him in the nearest place where he can reach home. The place where the person got struck is in middle of marshlands. The road over the marshlands connect from one place to another.
I took the person’s father who was shivering in cold and drove him near to his home. It had to drive away 3 kms off the road which leads to my home. After dropping him safely, I felt very happy at heart. I thanked got for he perfectly guided me through yesterday. I was totally dampened by the rain.
Had nice food prepared by my wife and slept peacefully.

New Venture
It is always a good feeling when we start a new venture. As I mentioned earlier that I got MacBook, it helped me in getting into a new venture. A little background on why the new venture. I had booked a domain name http://www.tryjesusnow.com and thought I would put some teachings of Jesus Christ. Later, I thought I would write my biography.
But suddenly I got some enlightenment and struck with an idea to figure out the reason on why a person has to try Jesus Christ. So I started to shoot video of people, who found their life the best after trying Jesus Christ. Now, it became an interesting thing in my life. My wife and I are dedicated in getting this accomplished. However the site is not complete.
I have plans to move around nook and corner and understand from people on the reason why they tried Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ doesnt change your religion, but he transform lives.

New MacBook
It was my long time dream to work on a mac. My saviour whom I trust has favored me as I am currently into the iPhone development I started to learn to work on mac and develop applications using XCode. I had fun learning the new system and programming in mac.
And after doing some amount of coding I thought why not I get my own mac. So I started to hunt for used mac laptops. I saw an advertisement and responded to that person and found it to be fake. I did not want to lose the spirit of programming on mac so I immediately went to a apple store to purchase a brand new MacBook for me.
Although it was bit expensive on my pocket I wanted to shell out few bucks to learn newer things.

iPhone Development
After getting into the open source world of web (Drupal) which excited me a lot, I jumped into iPhone Development. It is more exciting than what I have thought and realized.
iPhone is a revolutionary phone from Apple which gives tons and tons of features for the gadget enthusiasts. Although I had to admit there are some cons in the phone, I am glad to say that the pros of the phone are 1000 times more than that of cons. Which in fact hides the dark side of the iPhone.
The next question I asked myself is what made it stand apart from the other phones that are available in the market. One of the simple answer to this question is the way the phone responds to the users touch. I have seen few touch screen phones and I do have one, but I have never seen and intuitive interface in any phones. However I am not a worshipper of Apple products, but an distance admirer of them.
The programming for iPhone got bit easier as it follows the same strategy followed in Mac development. The gesture programming is the coolest thing apple had come up. When I started to get into iPhone development I found it extremely straight forward and simple. And the best part is that at least majority of the iPhone developers are sticking to the human interface guidelines.
As part of my training I went through the videos available in http://developer.apple.com/iphone and I liked the way it was structured. Again it is my personal liking that I fell in love with the mac platform development. And if you want to become an iPhone developer I would recommend you to get an apple developer id and start watching the videos they have in order. BTW, it is not recommended to skip and video. Although watching lengthy training videos sucks at times.
It doesn’t make sense for me if I speak a lot about mac without owning at least one of the apple product. So for getting into the iphone development I need a mac. I have all my SDK downloaded from the iphone developers website.

I bricked my HTC Touch Phone
I was trying to fiddle with my HTC Touch phone accidently I bricked the phone and it was completely dead. I did try to revive it by doing all kinds of resets advised on HTC Forums. I was much disappointed that I bricked my phone.
I gave it for service to one of the renowned service shops at Chennai. Surprise awaited and I heard that nothing can be done with the phone. I made up my mind and then purchased a korean phone. However the features in the Korean phone was awesome but I loved my old HTC Touch phone.
After getting the bricked phone from service centre, I started to find the appropriate ROM for radio and other flash ROM for the phone. I wanted to give a final shot and try it. I managed after struggling for 45 minutes to flash the right ROM for the phone. It choked but finally it got its life back.
I patted myself for the awesome work I have done. Now I am using the same bricked phone which came back to life. I felt good after fixing it. The lesson learnt from this incident was that I learnt something that before flashing the phone one should take complete backup of the phone.

New Year 2009 at Church
My wife and I for a change went to Sugajeeva Church next to VGP Beach for celebrating the 2009 New Year Eve. It was bit different we were silent spectators of this event at the Sugajeeva Church. When the time was about to cross 12, the lights were turned off and everyone lit the candles and it was a good experience to me and my wife too.

Christmas at Pollachi
For some reasons being this my first Christmas after my marriage, I didnt want to spend the joyous moments with my family. I wanted to go out and spend it somewhere out of my family and relatives. So I decided to spend my christmas at Pollachi, near Coimbatore. As it was festive season I wanted to book a ticket to Coimbatore in advance. Unfortunately, I could not get any seats in the bus / train. So I had to look at the next chance of taking a flight to Coimbatore. Although it was quite expensive we were in Coimbatore in just 50 minutes from Chennai.
I have taken few snaps from my mobile on the spectacular scene we saw outside the window. The clouds were looking awesome.
