Aha... This sounds something new when compared to the other posts ;)
Why do we watch movies? Entertainment? Time pass? Why why why?
Well basically all watch movies for entertainment and time pass. Well at least I do ...
But sometimes one ends up involving the movie so much that one tries to identify oneself with one of the characters.
Hm....this is something to worry about. May be the actor is so good that you feel that the person is going through that emotion in reality. Hats of them ...
Have we ever though how they are feeling playing that role? Do they have that "hangover" even after the shot? One always wonders..
May be the movies bring out one's hidden desires which can't be expressed. Well whatever it was a very long time since I connected with the characters. I happened to watch You've got mail staring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan all over again 4 times in the past 2 weeks.
Adding to that I happened to watch Jab We Met, a Hindi movie starring Shahid KApoor and Kareena Kapoor , may be 6-7 times...I've lost count in just a matter of 3 days ...
Surprised? Well that's what I call connecting oneself with the character. Which character I connected is left your imagination.
See ya until next time...

Once Upon A Time.....
Today I am not just going to write. I'm going to tell you all the readers a story. Let me know how you feel.
Almost a year back,two people studying in the same institute,(at least one)who thought that their thinking matched, became very good friends. They confided all their feelings in each other(at least one did). One was with the other while the other was feeling low. There were times when one almost gave up ones other friend for the friendship of this one. Things went on very well(at least it looked like that) for almost five months. Even when one did not approve of the other at times, it didn't matter at that time.
It was a few days after the new year day. Something came up. One of them was irritated to the core. So told something even though no obscene language was used. The damage was done. That person apologized over and over again. The other became cold. The person didn't want to continue the friendship. The other accepted the fact. Moved on in life. But the one who didn't want any friendship in the beginning started to try to speak. The other hesitated. The person didn't want another problem to creep up. Tried keeping away. But the constant trying from the other softened this person. Was getting confused as to what he/she wanted... Become friends again or just be acquaintance and keep a healthy relationship? The person left it to time. Was ready to go with the tide and accept whatever happens.
And then...they happened to work in a group for an event in the institute. Some unpleasant incidences. Truce was called in. Two days later, again exchange of unpleasant words. Went to the extent of using obscene language which was never used in one's life. The situation is to the extent that they can't look into each other's face.
Now coming back, why did this happen? What is the solution? I believe that there is no solution. The situation is that worse.

Working under Stress...??
Well it's sometime now that the college has announced the schedule for the placements. I think this is the most stressful time during one's stay in a college and that too in a PG college where everyone wants the best whether interested or not interested in the business a company is in.
So what is stress?
This is what I perceive. It is the strain of mind one experiences or an emotional strain. You can call it as tension or burnout or what ever name you want to give it. The mind doesn't seem to cooperate with you and your behavior with people changes. One tends to get agitated, get angry at small issues, get into an unhealthy arguments. Friends become foes. You don't know whom to talk to. One of my professors was telling about the placement months in the campus. He used to tell this. The best of friends become best of enemies. I wondered whether he was exaggerating things. Now I realize what he meant. Small things will lead you to argument. One sees oneself in argument with people to whom you never spoke to. Let alone friends.
"Friends" are a different issue. You can't argue with them. You will have to keep every damn thing in ones mind. That's too difficult and dangerous. It might ruin the relationship beyond repair. My friend advises me to keep away from argument. Its difficult One need to take out all the frustrations out. What to do? There is a saying in Kannada. One can neither keep the hot ghee in ones mouth not can he spit it out.
So how to control? Is it possible?
Answering the above two questions is not possible. At least from me. There are people speaking about stress management. People also say yoga is a good method to keep it under control. I haven;t experienced it yet. Not the I am a regularly practice yoga. One has to be regular in doing it. Well is there any other means for that? I don't know. You should tell me.
Working under Stress
Working under stress is no child's play. One needs to cope up with things. One should know how to handle stress. Not all can do this. One can breakdown at any point of time. The current business scenarios demand people to work and deliver under stress. However the question remains. Does one deliver his best under stress? Does the quality of work remains the same with and without stress?
By the way, wikipedia has a nice write up on this topic. Have a peek if time permits. It is a good read. I have given the link to that article on wikipedia.
If anybody finds out a way to overcome stress, do let me know.

Well I thought it was unnecessary to post another blog to provide another link relating to stress which happened to appear in a newspaper today. Hope this adds some value to this article.
