Sync ..

If this whole life was a dream seen by some infant who is lying inide a mother's womb waiting to be born. Once we die in this life, we wake up or be born to the actual world. Is'nt that cool?
I would like to think so. 

We all have dreams. 
We see dreams when we are awake and while asleep. We think, we imagine, and some of us write down. Have we ever felt that, those we write down or imagine or dream, simply happens as it is. It will be a shock. Or a great coincidence.

Maybe I am drawn to such thoughts because of my love towards fantacy and fiction.

There was a novel called Futlity by an author named Morgan Robertson about a ship named Titan. According to the novel this ship was considered unsinkable as It was the biggest of its time. And so, it had only less lifeboats for its whole 3000 passengers. The novel dealt with the sinking of this ship by striking an iceberg on April near midnight in the North Atlantic. The ship was racing at a speed of 25 knots and hit the iceberg at the starboard and sunk in 5 minutes.

You wouldnt be amazed if this novel was published on 1912 after the sinking of the great Titanic as the tragedy happened on 14 April 1912 @ 11:40pm presicely. Well its true.

But the actual fact was, It was re-published on 1912 by the auther himself as he realized that the novel's theme greatly resembled to that of  the real incident. Yes, the novel Futility was first published on 1898, 14 years prior to the tragedy, even before Titanic was made. Thats not all.

The size, weight, speed, point of impact, number of passengers, month of impact, number of lifeboats, horsepower, number of propellers and even the number of compartments were all shockingly almost accurate in the novel.
Not to mention the ship's name Titan. Well, Titanic's makers had a tradition of naming its ships ending with an 'ic' like oceanic, olympic, Germanic, britannic and the list goes on. Otherwise the name could also have been the same.


How do you explain this? Is it coincidence?
I dont think so. Some people call this phenomenon "Synchronicity".

So it might happen like the imagination or dream of a human being can become a reality.
If the company "White Star Line" who made the Titanic and nicknamed it unsinkable, ever read this book before Titanic's maiden voyage, that might have saved many lives.

I believe that God send us a warning sign in the form of Robertson's imagination and created the "Futility". The fact that man's arrogance and intelligence is nothing in front of God's will was thoroughly established when the novel was republished again on 1912 indicating "you were warned but didnt listen".

There might have been signs and warnings before every disaster that took place. I am not saying "There was". Maybe we saw these signs and perceived them wrongly.

Synchronicity

Synchronicity is a phenomenon where two different events share a common link which has some deep meaning or is somehow related to the person involved in it. 

I have something personal to discuss which I believe is something close to this phenomenon. After my graduation, I was job-hunting for months. Suddenly one morning about 6 am, I received a message wishing me luck for finding the job soon. Also it said "I will pray" for that to happen soon. I was curious as it was so early to receive a message, also an unknown number. I called back and It was one of my friends. We talked for sometime and I was about to sleep again after the call as I had nothing to do other than applying online. Before falling to bed I saw a today weekly on my bed probably put by my roommate. In it was a message written in bold 

" Tomorrow is too late". 

I thought if it had anything to do with my ongoing lazy life.

I just read and then slept again. After one hour I got a call from my friend saying there is an interview and asked me to get ready for it right away. They were looking for 2 noobs. I was not even prepared. The interview was within 1 hour and I rushed for it and got that job. Although the job didnt go very well for me, but this was an example of synchronicity as it was my first interview and first job.

So in conclusion      Synchronicity is the way of the Universe trying to tell you something

Isnt that wierd? Will this happen in any other years???
Usually this happens only once in a year.

The 26000 year old mayan calender comes to an end on December 21 2012 @ 11:11. According to the mayans, this marks a re-birth to our world. 11:11 is considered a door way to change. Some people think the world is gonna end in 2012, but I believe some change is gonna happen then. Something positive.

The Year 2010

One more year passess with lots and lots of memories engraved in it. 2010 was a wonderful year for me. So much things happened during this period of my lifetime. This year changed me as a person and as a bachelor I enjoyed this year to the fullest. There are a few things I would like to remember when it comes to the changes that reflected on my life as a person and as a social being. These are the great things that happened to me during 2010.

New Job

I was about to get my singapore PR, when suddenly due to certain circumstances I lost my previous job @ viewqwest due to conflict with my ex boss Vig (I called him pig). I was so lucky I got a new job @ UTAC in a week and got my PR card in the month followed. Compared to viewqwest, the job here was so relaxing and it was normal office hours. I really enjoyed working with my new team mates (Cant forget Faisal my team leader) and free environment. In viewqwest, I used to sit in a semi dark room the whole day and attended calls from customers. I was really fed up with shouting from customers as we couldnt say anything back. This changed in UTAC as here we dealt with users. I really had an attitude isssue with most of the stubborn users but they were totally harmless. So I had a really good job during 2010.

My sony alpha 330 camera

It was my long time dream to buy a cam as I was so passionate towards photography. I bought my cam during february of 2010.

Friends

I made a lot of good friends this year. Some of them are Vimesh, Arshim, Jibin, Sulabh, Thushar, Jinto, Giji, Faizal, Wei Xiang, Nyan Lin Hyat, Eugene, Reshma, Saheer, Renjith etc. Dont know if i missed anyone. These are the names that come to my mind first. The best among them was Vimesh I should say. He was and will be a really good friend. We used to workout during midnight before gong to bed. Also he taught me a bit of karate. We shared some common interests.

California Fitness

This year I started a membership @ California fitness. This is one of the best gyms ever. I joined here with my good friend Anvin. This gym helped me transform physically and mentally. I will really miss this place.

Cooking

I learnt to cook this year. My Gurus were Jinto and Thushar. I really enjoyed cooking and most times I did it alone. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen for my meal preperation. Well most of my experiments were tasty.

Rocking

The most rocking moment was Giji's Birthday. We started celebrating from 12 am to 6am in the morning. We bought 2 packets of egg, 2 soya milk and coke. We threw the eggs, soya milk and coke at her. It was a rocking party @ bedok reservoir. After that all of the guys got drunk and slept @ the reservoir itself. We left for home @ 6am.

Resolution

The next year shall not be this good, but who knows. Lets hope for the best. I got a few plans for next year. I will be resigning from my current job as I completed here 1 year. Will be going back to India for 3-4 months. During this time I will be taking my CCNA and MCSE. After returning to Singapore should find a new job and also start doing part time degree in bachelor of network engineering. Hope it will be a very busy year compared to 2010 but who knows what surprices awaits. Lots and Lots of dreams to fullfill. Hope they will come true some day.

Happy Christmas 2010 :)

was having a small flu and fever for last 3 days and took medical leave the whole week. I was so fed up and bored, so went out with Rohith to take some snaps.
 Happy Xmas to everyone.
Almost all friends in my Facebook had put Xmas wishes on their wall, well I didnt. I thought it was too much of a cliche. Maybe I was not in a good mood. And I have no idea why the hell I am growing a beard !!!
