Yaaaru thiruduna Vennaiya.... ????

Well, the very answer that comes to your mind should be our KRISH JI .. (aRe, LORD KRISHNA )hai na ? what matters to HIM .. ?? HE is the BOSS.. He can steal, He can place it back, He can do everything he wants to..

seri seri.. romba blade podadha.. matterku va.. this is what you should be thinking rite ??? :D haha (great,.. I ve becoming good mind reader :P :) Thiripi oru build pa..?? I understand Guys..

okie, Anusha talks -------2., This title struck me when I read 'WHO MOVED MY CHEESE ?? ' by Dr.Spencer Johnson.It motivated me so much.. I never thought, this little story will have this much essence in it.

The story goes like this.. there were two mice (SNIFF & SCURRY) and two lilliputs(HEM & HAW ) and they all are in search of cheese. Both the mice followed a error and trial method to search and have the cheese. These lilliputs used thier intellect and instinct to reach a cheese station even before the mice's did. They were very much happy by seeing such a large cheese store !! soon SCURRY and SNIFF also followed them and they were clever.. they din't reinvent the wheel..once they knew cheese s there .. they applied the GO-TAKE formula.

Days gone by. The station ran out of cheese. By then, SCURRY and SNIFF visited the station and when they found no cheese in it, they were not surprised. They had witnessed the station running down in stocks day by day and they were ready for the change.But our intellect food-kings HEM and HAW were not ready for the change. They toiled a lot to find the cheese station and once they got.. OK .. HABBA.. EVERYTHING fine.. JOLLY FOR LIFETIME.. was their attitude. They were so much dependent on that and were not prepared for surprises.

They kept complaining that somebody has moved the cheese.. etc. idiots kept on finding reason behind who could have moved the cheese that was no more.But after a while one of the guys HAW realized that what s the point in grumbling over a thing that has already meant nothing ... denial is denail.. you dont have cheese..means you dont have.. . But even after reasoning this much, the beautiful garland of roses started to smell bad because it was carried on a fish basket.. (And don't ask me does fish smells bad.. i am not in for a controversy here :P hehe :).. and yeah, that basket was undoubtedly HEM, THE GREAT.

but, to his fortune, Suddenly one day it dawned to HAW.. if we had made a way to this cheese station.. why can't we make to another one.. But then when he shared his view to the HEM Bloke, He was still strong on his legs. Never gave in.. Kept Empty face at the cheese station as a daily routine hoping that some where some one would have hidden the cheese (typically, i remember the 'PUDHAYAL' vettai in our culture :P , no better words to describe HEM's attitude).

And , yeah, HAW thought.. Ok Boss !! This not going to work out.. It s high time that i take my own road .. He went on .. When he started it was a pain in the neck for him..

Imaginary fears used to drive him crazy .. there were moments that he would give a thought 'How about going back.. ?? but he used to question himself.. ' WHAT WOULD you DO if u wereN'T AFRAID?? ' (I fall for this line.. this line pierced my heart gently like an needle does to a young tree i.e pasumarathu aaNi pola.. ) and then he realized 'THE FEAR u BUILD up in your mind' is actually worse than the situation that ACTUALLY EXISTS..'. from then on, He enjoyed what he did, found new directions which took his pain of the past disappointments, and realized that a journey on a boat will be fun when it moves with the waves.. (and Tsunami does not apply here.. :D )

Finally, he reached a cheese station and found a wide variety of cheese that he had never seen in his lifetime and surprisingly he met the two naughty beings also there and was awed about their flexibility in attitude which brought them there before him.
He hoped HEM also does the same .. but He can only tell and think of good for him..
if One cannot do good to himself.. NO one ELSE in the world can !!

The story comes to an end like this . And I wished to draw some parallels to do some justice to the title.. :D

When I read 'THE FEAR u BUILD up in your mind' is actually worse than the situation that ACTUALLY EXISTS..', i thought of Gita verses 'What are u afraid for ?? What is yours today is destined to some body else tomo..SO BE prepared for the change..'
These verses also means to me that 'Don't be too much dependent on things.. take it easy attitude always works' and I realized this when I recollected that how HEM refused to believe that the station ran out of stocks.

Though the title occured to me when i tried translating 'WHO MOVED MY CHEESE?' in tamil, It finally inspired some philsophical corellation to the story.. KISHAN JI Mere kaam pe aagaye hein !.. :D
