One night @ call center

It is since i read this line "An Apathetic reader is an Apathetic person as a whole", i started exploring my interests in reading...esp in English which i haven't done for two decades. Learning a language in a fortnight is a dream...a non-fulfilled dream for me. if there are any errors pls highlight it to me...

I will bet u the most difficult part that every starter faces is "Where to start" and i am no exception. At this time i caught hold of a simple, easy and nice book......One Night @ Call Center by Chetan Bhagat.the author of Five Point Someone.

The best part of the book is the way in which the story is carried on, the characters and GOD..

The Characters portrayed:

Shyam stands as a role model for Sarcasm, a guy whose promotion is dumped by his boss and love by Priyanka . Vroom a guy who wants to earn more cash and lead a hep life. Radhika a married women who is cheated by her husband. Esha pucca modern girl who wants to pursue her modeling career. Priyanka the girl who dumped Shyam, who has just accepted a proposal for marriage from Mr.Microsoft.......sorry bald head Ganesh who is working in Microsoft, Seattle. Military Uncle a fine old man who is chucked out by his son. Last but not the least Bakshi a stupid but evil manager.

The GOD conversion gave me insight of what we r missing out in our life. All of a sudden GOD calling then on a no-signal-cell phone is imaginary..but the words spoken by the GOD character helps u to find light at the end of the tunnel....the words that each and everyone must remember in life, to succeed.

Dating with our self:

In this current fast moving world we are unable not only share time with our loved ones but also to spend with ourselves.By doing this we miss to hear what exactly we want in life. Our instincts constantly try to communicate with us but we fail to hear it. Practically speaking we ignore it.........so we fail in the steps that we take.....retracing our steps also becomes difficult. First we have to think what exactly we want to do, think within yourself and then decide on the stand that u r going to take.

Secret of Success:

The Author Chetan Bhagat gives a four step agenda for success through GOD.

1. Medium amount of Intelligence
2. Bit of imagination
3. Self-confidence
4. Failure

Failure......................you wonder why this is on the list. the author has justified this by saying that when u taste failure you won't have much fear. You can take risk more easily...u won't snuggle in u'r comfort zone.

"Success is about flying, not snuggling"

Other incidents are predictable and usual. he completes the story by stating how they can change things if they think.......not to stand in the same place-move on.

He also describes how sarcasm can ruin one's life through Shyam charater. I was not impressed with the ending.But still the witting and sequence of incidents will steal your heart.

பாதை

மார்கழி காலையில்
பனி சூழ்ந்த வேளையில்
சூரியன் எட்டிப் பார்கும் சமயத்தில்
கண்கள் மூடி நடந்தேன்
என் பருவ நிலையில், நினைவில்

காற்று, மெல்ல கண்களை வருடியது......
அதன் ஓசை காதுகளில் பாய்ந்தது....
அதன் மென்மை உடலை சிலிர்க்கவைதது
என் மனதையும் உதட்டையும் வருடியது...................மென்மையாக

மழைதுளி என்மேல் விழ
என் உள்ளத்தில் மாறுதல் ஏற்பட்டது

திடுக்கிட்டு விழித்தேன்
வந்த பாதையைப் பார்த்தேன்.........

"இறந்த காலம் ஏளனமாய் சிரித்தது"

போகும் பாதையைப் பார்த்தேன்

"விகாரமும்... சிரிப்பும் கலந்த பார்வையோடு என்னை நோக்கியது"

நின்ற இடத்தைப் பார்த்தேன்.........
........"தைரியமாய் வாழ்வை எதிர்னோக்கு" என்றது

என் விழிகளை நிமிர்த்தினேன்.......நம்பிக்கையுடன்

வெளிச்சத்தில் நடந்தேன்..........

The new year by Alfred

Ring out the old,Ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true

There is one poem which i cannot forget in my life......The poem tht gave me confidence tht i can win on stage...... The poem which helped me to realise tht i am good at voice modulation....Its Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.....


Robert Frost (1874–1963). Mountain Interval. 1920.

1. The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. 20
