So what has been on my mind for the last two days??Answer: "Life of Pi"..the booker prize winner book my Yann Martel, a Canadian Author. There aren't too many pieces of fiction..be it movies or books..that has forced me to think about it too much. LOP is one such thought provoking piece of work.So what is it about...I am sure most of the people out there know what its about. I knew what it as about even before i started with the book..infact from a long time back. A 16 year old Indian castaway called "Pi", stuck in a lifeboat when his ship sunk with his family. But he is not alone..he has fellow survivors..an injured Zebra, an Orangutan, a hyena and a 450 pound Royal Bengal Tiger! So i thought..this would be fun..an adventure story about 5 friendly different species and how they co-exist with each other. Man, was i mastaken or what? Only when you start reading the book, you know that it is so much deeper than that. Its about faith, its about God, its about religion, its about courage, and its about the will to survive. It makes you suspend your disbelief and get along with what the author wants you to believe...even if it seems highly improbable..if not impossible. The author spins such a web that you are there along with Pi, through his ordeal, wanting it to end, sharing his moments, his terror, ofcourse with Richard Parker around as well. Who's Richard Parker???...he is the Royal Bengal big cat mentioned before!! When the book is in the final few pages...i cant rememeber the last time I felt like crying while reading a book, Well...i didnt cry..I am not that soft...but i felt a knot in my heart at that moment. Something which has not entirely loosened since i have fnished it 2 days before this day. And I have never missed my family, papa, ma and sister so much. This book has the most amazing ending..and u may end up believing in some force which lay within and around us in this world...whether thats god or not..its absoloutely upto you to decide.

I dont really know what to start my blog diary with. I got this idea of collecting your thoughts and views and putting it online from a cousin of mine, who himself is an active "blogger"..(if thats even a word). I know what blogsites are, and the purpose that they serve..but haven't really tried "blogging" myself. My mind has been full of thoughts lately..u know, thoughts about this..and that. There's always so much to think about, like career and interview calls, parents and brother and sisters, and all that bullshit. U know..stuff i hate to think and worry about. Thats why i gave this blog the name "PENSIEVE"!! For mortals with lesser knowledge and unfortunate enough not to have read the Harry Potter books atleast twice...a pensieve is a cup or a goblet where Professor Dumbledore (one of the lead and coolest protagonist characters in the book) stores his thoughts and memories...so that his mind does not get clogged with them.(He is hundreds of year old mind you..if i am not mistaken..so imagine the memories this dude will have). Anyways..this Pensieve looks like a goblet filled with a shiny kind of liquid..which i guess are thoughts and memories. Its pretty cool you know...just check out the books and you will know.

So, well...whats going on with my life??I am working here in this hell of a good company in its field, with excellent facilities and work environment and great people to work with as well.(Though i dont like to generalize people..but yep..much better than the previous company i worked in). And i guess i am doing well myself, u know being shifted from one team to another and doing well in the assessment tests and all. It has been fun, but there's always something going on in my mind. I know i cant continue doing this for very long and may shift to doing the kind of thing i am supposed to do in the first place..but then i wonder..will I be happy and satisfied even there?? I havent really figured out what I really really wanna do..mainly because...there's so much i wanna do! Really dont understand where to focus. I guess thats what 90% of guys around my age think...I just hope i get my "moment of clarity" very soon..cuz man...i get dead worried sometimes. So well...i guess this much is enough for my first blog entry...pretty predictable ha??Well, lets see what else my ever restless mind can think of! This does seem to be a pretty good idea..this blogging stuff!!!

Hmm...my first blog!! cant really think of anything to write yet..lemme do the thinkin'
