Huh!

Reboot?

Raghunath — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 06:16:03 +0000

I thought that I should remember something that I wanted to write about and later realized that I did not remember what I thought I wanted to remember to write about. I remember now that there was something that I needed to remember to ensure that I remembered that I write about something but now I am writing about that exact thing that I needed to remember to write about but I don’t remember what I was supposed to write about …

Erm…

What do you do when you don’t know what to write but you want to? What do you do when the number of drafts in your dashboard make you think of the graveyard of ships? What do you do when all around you is inspiration but for you there is no respite? What do you do when everyday you lose a new good idea?

I am going to stop thinking! …. about myself

New Theme.

How’s the new theme? Let me know

The Invitation.

Raghunath — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:49:52 +0000

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s desire.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals, or have become shriveled and closed for the fear of future pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, or to remember the limitations of human beings.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you’re telling me is true. I want to know if you disappoint another to be true to yourself, if you can bear the accusations of betrayal and not betray your own soul.

I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore be trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it is not pretty every day, and if you can source your life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours or mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver moon

“Yes!”

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you are now or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments Your life is not a coincidence, it is a reflection of you.

RIP Evan Tanner.

The only person who I have never met, but have loved like a brother and cannot forget.

There is a place in my thoughts that can never be forgotten. There is a void in my mind that can never be filled. RIP Champ.

RIP, my friend.

Wanted: Theme for my blog.

Raghunath — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:17:13 +0000

I have realized over the past few months that the one thing I really need to do on this blog is give it a new look!

I have really gotten bored with the present look and am getting tired of trying out themes. Help me out people!!

What the theme should be:

Clean
Easy on the eyes
Very few images
Should be for wordpress :=)

Let me know what your favorite themes are and what I should use out here …

Laziness and blogging.

Raghunath — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 04:12:07 +0000

Yes, I haven’t been updating this space for some time now. Yes, I have been lazy. It has been one of those spells of boredom interspersed with procrastination that cause me to deviate from my set routines and purpose in life and thus, I don’t blog. There has been a lot that I should have blogged about: my trip to a lovely coastal town called Murud-Janjira, the nice people I met there, the ridiculous bus “service” that is Jabbar Travels, reviewing a movie called Taaren Zameen Par (Stars on the Earth (sic.)), reviewing an amazing restaurant called Little Italy, etc., etc.

I don’t promise to cover all of these in the coming weeks but I am going to try.

What I want to tell you is that I am listening to an amazing band called Gorguts! If you are even slightly into extreme music and don’t mind a little growl-scream with your music, take a listen to Gorguts to listen to some of the most amazing riffs, tempo changes and out and out musical brilliance that is Gorguts (try the Obscura Album!).

Till the next post then!

Working with Dad!

Raghunath — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 08:43:20 +0000

I finally went ahead and did it. Worked with my dad. He is a trainer (leadership, teamwork, etc.) and had a rather large and important client who needed a team building workshop. Told me to help him with the whole thing and I did, and let me tell you it was awesome! Working with your parent wherever possible is something that I hope everyone does, simply because of the sheer exponential learning and surge of confidence you get from the experience.

The program that we did was spread over three days. We had conciously decided to make it a no presentation, no classroom lecture training. Instead we had games that simulated real world learnings in a very non-descript and fun atmosphere. What is different about our program is that unlike a lot of the other programs out there, these games are neither extremely challenging physically nor are they classroom based strategy sessions.

The major challenges for me were creating the environment, getting 26 total strangers who were older than me and more technically capable than me to respect me and trust me. These things come naturally to my father who had total command over the audience as soon as he started. To me, however, this was a first

What this also means is that I will be taking up more of these programs as and when they come with my father and can easily say that I am really confident in taking these up now.

So personal pat-on-the-back for me
