Shhhh......I could have said this......

Have u ever thought , "shhh, I could have said like this"?, then ur welcome to read this post!

When situations occur and when we communicate with people,we talk many stuffs,they may ask questions and you tend to reply to them,sometimes its may be an argument and you try to find answers to respond back! There, you dont have time, its like either speak or just keep mum! What people usually do is keep arguing back, but there wont be valid points, it maybe like beating around the bush! What ever may come, you just keep on blabbering something to counter those things being bombarded at you and maybe after a while you realise that you were wrong  or you could have said something else which added enough punch to your reply!

Thus thats what I want to talk about! I love interacting with people and maintain almost the same level of proximity with everyone ( no commitments,no disappointments,just kidding )! People call me a freak,or a person who's out of her mind or maybe a crack! So its like people of my class,hostel, family or all around me talk a lot (i may be the first to initiate the conversation) and in the end,maybe, or perhaps it turns into an argument ( no,not that I always end up fighting wid evryone, this situaution has just 0.0001 % chance to happen) and I find shortage of words or probably get ready made sentences to answer back them! To escape the situation I may just tell something that is good or better, but may miss out the best part of the undisclosed answer!

This situation happens to me in 2 contexts- firstly,in an argument and secondly, in an interview! In an argument, it maybe like provoking me or irritating me or something like that and ofcourse if  Im on the correct side, I wont easily let go and will counter all that nonsense questions! For that moment I may have said something that could solve the problem or on the other hand made the situation much worse, later when I come home and have a bath, I visualise all that happened! In a way a re-cap and I can hear all those things which both the parties said to each other,crystal clear and picture perfect! Then comes the last question and Oh my God, I realise I shouldnt have said that, but  a reply in this way would have been better! Shit man, why cant I get the right replies for certain questions being asked to me?

Next is the interview part wherin firstly Im asked to tell me about myself which is not mentioned in the CV! Now what?  i start thinking hmm, which is not there on the CV right,hmmm..... Well Im Aleena Merin Saju....  and boom, rest I dont know what to say, but I do say ok, not beating around the bush, but as they say ,within 30 seconds of that introduction , I usually try to give it a shot, not just crap, but actual fact of who I am and what I would like to do! And even if I manage to impress them, and they like me and give me a hope that Im short listed, still when I come back and visualise those scenes, I feel I could have said something better to fine tune the impression they set on me.....

So my prospective employers, here is a short description about me-
I love being called as a freak, people say Im cool, well's nice to hear that sometimes! But Im very serious in life! Very much passionate about things I do! I believe that, to be succesful in life,people need to have genuine passion for something which they wish to do! Never do 2 jobs at one time, do one, complete it and jump to the next! And whatever you do...just dont do it for the sake of it..enjoy it....learn from it....mistakes happen..all part and parcel of our life....!!! I dont exaclty love to read much..but I know I cant afford to stop reading and that too in a world like this,if you arent updated ..then boom..u're gone!!!! So basically, i like to read non-fiction... something which is relevant in the world and not that imaginery....or a created stuff....!!!! but I enjoyed reading "Mutation"...i dont remember the author , but I know he has written the book called Coma too.....!!! And about films...a movie buff in short!!!!! I love movies which bring out the social issues..or maybe family oriented subjects!!!! I hate films just based on romance or fantasy..but I do make it a point to watch some of them once in a while...cos I always believe there's something to learn from everything.....blah blah

Over for now.... little work to do.... Till next time.. See ya

Defence....Ads.....5 star.....Movies

What do you call a person who loves to join the defence (say army, navy or air force).... work in a leading 5 star hotel as a client relationship manager..... act in a movie....or maybe direct a film...or sit along wid a group of adman and work as the creative director ....set up her own catering unit...n blah blah..?????  A confused person right?????? Well, I just talked about me.... I dunno, I just have many ...infact plenty of dreams.....n wishes!!! I dont just like to stick to a particular industry....!!!! I just love to move around and try out evry stuff.... cos I may get bored..no..no..I love to experience different situations..to know the feel of different working environment.......

When I posted my application form for air force common admission test (AFCAT)..... I still remember of being mocked at class.... a meek slim girl with no energy or stamina (dats wht they think) applying for a job which didnt suit her at all....!!!!! These people only thought that the jobs in air force only restricted to pilots or any technical positions... !!!! Ignorance can be forgived :)

And working in a hotel...whoaa..... I just love it..I would get to meet different people.... and thats a great thing..... !!!!!  Some of my fav.s include... The Leela, Oberoi group, ITC group of hotels!!!!! Not a bad list right ? :)

Now about working as a creative director....!!!! Thats an awesum idea....!!!! Yea, an idea isnt tht easy to get...!!!!! But, I believe I will be good for tht....Thanx to those times at hostel when we friends used to jump around and enact a new ad .... Latest ad being HIPPO cheese balls.....

Lastly....to act or maybe direct a movie ...!!!! Since childhood, I have been fascinated by movie...celebrities etc etc...!!! Infact Im a movie buff!!!!! Serious movie lovers understand the essence of movies they watch....recognize the director....or the man behind the music ..... !!!!! I love movies which highlight recent social issues....and I dont go for movies which are just based on romance and silly songs.... Here, I would like to share a short film by Nithuna Nevil Dinesh... Its about an old man who works in a roadside foodstall....holding the board "MEALS READY" each day between 12pm to 4 pm..under the scorching sun..... Check it out.... !!!! Brilliantly shot and very touching

Both sides of a coin

People who know me agree to it that Im both fun loving person and very sensitive….Yea, I agree to tht… I swear,I just love to be called as a freak….n at the same time….I really become desp very fast…but mind u…I’ve never met a very very optimistic person just like me before….honestly not flattering myself…!!!but I seriously haven’t met a positive person in my life… I know there are a bunch of really what-may-come-im-still-the-same ppl out there…and I haven’t probably got a chance 2 meet them…!!!

By the way…the whole point of this post is..I just wanted 2 say..that everyone has 2 sides…. We’re exactly like onions (Like ogres…like onions-REFER TO SHREK 1)…WE HAVE DIFFERENT LAYERS WITHIN US… SOME MAY HAVE TWO..OR THREE..OR DIFFERENT…!!! Hmm…I believe there can only be a max. of 2 real layers…bhaaki sub ,they’re just fake layers…people just put it on them to show others…!!! But can we differentiate between the actual and the fake..well it’s impossible!!!! I always believe in people..thats where I made most of the mistakes in my life… I HAVE HEARD THIS STATEMENT SOMEWHERE LIKE..Seasions change so do people…!!! Ya, I know man ought 2 change..but then… if its for good,its ok…but think of you changing and that change affects someone really badly…Physically or mentally…!!! In your eyes..its just you who have changed, but the impact is on someone else…. !!!In this type of situation the problem is entirely on …ahemm..both the parties…the former,cos he/she shud have thought about others around him/her before doing some act…and the latter ,cos he/she shouldn’t have believed the former entirely…!!! Yup, back to square 1..the belief…the  “thing” you entrust upon others…isn’t actually a permanent one…!!! Most of the times it seems to be a temporary one!!!  As said…people have different sides…!!!!

It is said that people talk more philosophy when he’s depressed…I wholly agree 2 that point!!! On a happy day, when someone asks me to tell me about this world and its people..I’ll obviously tell in a very positive way..because…through my eyes..evry1 seems so perfect…and it’s a never ending happy story..with love and peace everywhere…!!! On the contrary,on a sad day…ask me about the condition of today…say, the world..or people.. I will be talking in a very detailed manner….trying out some new words (maybe using it 4 the first time )…..complex phrases…n what not!!! Everyone is like that…!!!! The best part is…you try to act normal…but ur face tells ur lying!!! Ya, im one such person…my eyes really betray me J They tell out I’m lying…!!! But cant do anything about it… Well, people come to know Im troubled,cos they find me talking some nonsense everytime… or maybe silent (4 ppl who don’t know me..Im actually really hyperactive)… Now that’s where…I cant find any answer..it may end up in some tears rolling down from my eyes..n I may say the matter.. or finding a new lie  J Opps..Am I disclosing something???
