A Failed Attempt

Never in my life did I honestly craved to achieve success or failure.For that reason I have no complains for whatever might be the outcomes. Not because accomplishment is hard to attain or something that demands happiness success is least significant in my view given the repetitive attempts towards it. What puzzles me is my constant obstinance and reluctance towards a belief that is considerably looked upon by others as rebellious nature.Often I staged numerous ways towards executing a task that supposedly should make an endeavor fruitful but utterly ridiculed by the community.

Fact is success isn't definitive and failure isn't something that can be considered as negative after all the perception differs.Whenever I receive a suggestion I consider it as a first step towards my failure and as far I am concerned there is nothing that can be done to review and rebuild one's own actions so as to make them appealing. If you ask me the amount of calibre that was put in successful and failed products is just the same, but what makes some things catchy is a lifelong pursuit for every individual and yet the answer is uncertain and not universal.  

I can't even think about my outcome after a brief amount of time that I have interjected to be yielding or unyielding but it was just the product of my labor that best I could come up with.In a brief history during my never ending sojourn on earth I came across many people who have done similar kind of things as me(May be a bit more or less) but the varied amount of success(or should i Call it supposed fruitfulness) which always left me in perplexity.Sometimes people say to me that I am not who I am and I haven't done anything that represents my true self and that probably I was living a borrowed life which appears to them as the reason for my any misery that might occur to me, well its always our choice to let those things in or out. When we stand in cross roads we can't by million chances say that any one of the direction will lead us to achievement or failure. 

We can't be happy and successful at the same time so if anyone asks us what can be learnt from failed attempts we can say that its a fact that everyone's life is full of them and also its not the result that keeps us going but its the pursuit of the result. We watch people, we learn from their mistakes we make mistakes and make them learn from us ,we succeed and set an example we fail and become cautionary its all in the wold there is no reason to stop doing what we do best.Now this can be quiet challenging for there is no certainty involved and only the realization that your peace of mind lies in it makes it worth following.    
              

Liebster award Nominations and Questions

What is this Leibster Award, Am I worthy of it. Well don't answer that question for I wouldn't like it. It was just another Saturday evening and everything is set as per the specifications, suddenly I got a message from my brother saying that I was nominated for this award Boom my schedule has to be altered for something better (Thank you Bro).For one thing I would like to congratulate and appreciate my brother not for nominating me but just for being nominated by an anonymous person.I personally feel inspired by my brother Mr Sarma Veturi( although he wouldn't apprise it) I have written numerous discarded testimonials for his success hence this wasn't an exception. As far as this award is concerned what is the greatest appreciation that a blogger or writer expects from anyone? For that reason is writing about appreciation or expression? This unanswerable question remains to be a mystery to everyone who has the ability to read enthusiasm to write and comprehend in any language. 

Frankly Speaking although I write vigorously in by blog there are a few number of blogs that i read regularly not since I was busy doing anything but I couldn't find where to follow and whom to follow. Hence my nominations here would be uncertain in the aspect of worthiness, but I can assure one thing to everyone that I feel a sense of respect for those who are gifted with the capability of emoting through writings. This may come as a surprise but answering, posing questions about his/her life is considered as a  greatest virtue  by any writer and kudos to the originator of this idea through the Leibster( No I don't know what Leibster Means) award. To avoid frustration in choosing the nominations I came up with an idea which goes like this starting from the one that nominated me in the first place I would be nominating the ones from each successive blogger. Congratulations to all these bloggers for being listed here. You deserve it. Now comes the time of Rapid Fire Round. Shoot

      1.    Which character from any work of fiction you can identify yourself the most with?

This is my favorite question and I would be very happy while answering it. From my childhood I was a great fan of the fictitious character Spiderman. The one that was adapted by Sam Raimi suits me the best. Although it seems a bit childish I always wanted to be a  sensible superhero like Spiderman and save the world from all bad deeds. In this context I remember a scene from my childhood where I asked my aunt to give me the Spider Man costume if anyone gifts her on her wedding. Everybody laughed at such an instance and at that point I couldn’t understand why.

Often I feel like crying while looking at the sensibilities and naiveties of Peter parker (Thanks to the honest portrayal of Toby McGuire) in winning his lady love. The saddest part is that being a superhero he never gets what he requires most starting from a glass of drink. Now that is too modest for a man like him. Holding the responsibility and doing the things that are supposed to be right in spite of being trapped by venom that arises from the inner self is the greatest challenge any person would encounter. Spider-man does this. And he is my superhero. I can identify myself with him.

       2.   What is your favorite movie and why?

     There are a lot of favorite movies in variety of languages for me but films from my mother tongue telugu are all time favorites. A couple of films among them are Abhilasha and Gangleader. Reason is quite simple I like the genres Thriller, Action Very much. If you need quite more complex reasons and films I will start lecturing on 12 Angry men. :D 

      3. What is your reading frequency?

     A Book per a Month and sometimes the count will increase exponentially depending upon the season. 

   

     4. What is the greatest challenge you face in writing? 

    The greatest challenge is to overcome laziness and write. I hardly experience Writers block 

     5. What makes you a read a book? It’s Blurb? Review from a person you like? Cover    Page? Author’s Previous Works?

     Some of the above factors seems to be little effective on a person like me since I read a book because I love reading. But sometimes I happen to pick up the books that are read by characters in a Movie, Television series, Plays etc. The best example is “Of Mice and Men” this was read by the character James Sawyer Ford in TV Series LOST.

      6. What are your reading patterns?

     I am not sure whether or not that I understand this question. But if I may guess it’s regarding postures I love reading in the chair on the top of a building.

     7.How do you fight Bloggers Block?

     I write whatever comes to my mind at that moment and simply put open to suggestions and improvisations in the end of my post.

      

     8. Do you think setting yourself target works in writing?

     Speaking of the end results it should work. Productivity can be achieved through constant practice and targets make us active. If you take too much time to write considering the outcome meditation is better than writing. If writing is a form of expression targets are orientations towards expression.

    

      9. How important do you think grammar is in writing? Especially in English?

      That depends on what you are aspiring for. When you want to narrate a story grammar plays little role and errors that creep out can be overlooked. 

   

     10. What time of the day is the most conducive for you to right?

     Early in the morning 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM

 Here are my nominations. Once again congratulations to all of you. Although I don’t personally know some of you I wish you all success in your future writings.

Book Review- The Lowland- Jhumpa Lahiri

The Pretty False Intellectuals.

             Why do we ever write or read a novel? Is it to show someone that we are capable or reading or writing? Is it to satisfy inherent passion towards literature? Is it to earn money or Pulitzer, Noble Peace, Booker Prizes? Do we need to satisfy the readers or to satisfy ourselves? What is the prime motto? Are we contributing to the world or to only ourselves? Does our work show satisfaction or dissatisfaction? Are we happy after, before or during the reading of the book by ourselves as well as the readers? If any of these questions arise in your mind prior to  the purchase of this book I would recommend to stay as far as possible to this utterly ridiculous false work of a desperate dispassionate unethical cynical woman.

              The only thing the author of The Lowland cared is to portray dissatisfaction and hatred along the way the characters in this novel travel.The story is just plain simple as our life goes with  fictional intellectuals scattered all round the world not knowing what knowledge really means or to utilize it their benefit or to the benefit of others. The entire novel is a delightful hotchpotch of beautiful landscapes, Slums, Beaches, Palm Springs, Vermillion, Naxalbari Uprising, The principles of communism, Mao,Marx,Lenin, Literature,Metaphysics, Schopenhauer and other stuff that stimulate the Green Card holders still having their dual citizenship. I mean do we need all this stuff. Isn't available on the open source, are you completely out of imagination only to be dependent on unfortunate reality.

          Given the span of the novel one expects a subtle with genuine characters that somehow one can correlate with, but to our surprise what we get is a self-sustained individuals seriously craving for love only to realize the lust behind it and to hate themselves at a later stage.After the act of repentance only they could do is concentrate more on their academics to write a book , to research on something, to create love or to go back to the only place in the world that made them who they are. No Seriously mam you lost your every right to land in our place due to your supreme intelligence which is a sheer waste considering the outcomes of it because we are concerned in a collective growth but not in homosexuality and acts that are unnatural so as to prove that we are capable of dominating orthodoxy.The 370 pages of the work looks more like a thesis(that the author feels so certain about winning) rather than a joy to read.

          At times we like the characters in the book but its temporary until the author fails them through her inconsistent methods of life. There is a point where we get a liking for the Character Bela(The daughter of Subhash) due to her hardworking and innovative ways of cultivation but it is ruined by the author when she introduces Bela’s pregnancy and reluctance to accept the father of her child. Bela wants to raise the kid on her own, I mean AYFKM we don’t bring kids into the world since we have the capability and a safe place to live. Is this some kind of petting? How can we give love to someone if we are uncertain of ourselves to receive it from someone else? It is best to raise a puppy instead of giving birth. 

                The entire book is pointless from the beginning till the end. Do you need entertainment or something to keep you going thinking that there is happiness in the world? My suggestion stay away from this work and read comics or eat healthy food.This work only spreads misery, cold-eyed romance, wrong thinking, resentment, stupidity. None of the characters in the book are worth remembering they only make you feel sorry for themselves and yourselves for reading about them. Finally Mam in your own words You are as dead to me as Udayan. This is my first and last read of the works of Jhumpa Lahiri The Pretty False Intellectual. I now realize that winning a Pulitzer Prize is as easy as shitting in your restroom.
