striking the right cord

have you ever thought, how music would be if you do not strike the right cord for the note you have? yes. it is really annoying to hear such music. my point here, just to emphasize on knowing when, where and what to do. i thought i had planned to do something the way i thought, and thought it could be the right way. but all my presumptions were shattered in no time, and the fact that had it... one simple question. "What would you say if you were..??
yes, i had a plan to make a big impact on something. a way that could change the way we live. and this is what i thought was worth sharing with a friend of mine. i was telling him what i wanted to do, and how i intend to go about it. briefly, it was to make our city, a better place to live. yes i was thinking of refining ನಮ್ಮ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು. i also had some thoughts on how to go about it after i had read on some websites, how some bangaloreans had come to hate their own city, instead of striving to refine it., or in my words, redefine it. as i spoke, he asked me something, that i never thought of. had i begun my task at hand, i would definitely have failed miserably. the reason: well. i had never considered what was the cause behind all that was happening. this is what i meant by striking the right cord. he did something, which helped me refine my intentions. all that he did to make me realize that it would not succeed unless not a just a handfull, but all my "city"zens were part of it. he made me realize this when he asked me "what would you do if you were to lose something in return for this?" and being a typical bangalorean, my response was the same as what every other bangalorean's would have been. "it depends on what I GET out of it." he had knowingly, or unknowingly, made his point. as long as we come together as one, there is nothing that can stop people from blaming the sorry state of our city. not even GOD himself can object to people who object to the city's situation. i just love this city, that i don't want it to lose the recognition it had once gained in whatever sense.. be it as a pensioner's paradise, or the garden city, or off late, the silicon city. i just don't care for the collective adjectives, as long as every common thing is proper. they are just too abstract for a city like bangalore, which is much more than just that..
cumon people, you've all enjoyed Bangalore's pristine beauty at some point of your life. it's time to restore Bangalore's beauty, and give it some life too now. only together, can we make Bangalore the paradise it was once considered to be. wake up!!! for it's time to act.

  2. "he asked me something, that i never thought of" - I guess, it refers to me :D I had not realised that you really took my question so seriously, especially after the answer you gave me... Anyway, my intention was not to demotivate you but just to make you think about the reality, more cleary.
    BTW, nice post but it would be a lot better if you pay attention to the grammar rules and punctuations(Eg: first letter of each sentence must be in upper case), especially when you classify the post as "serious stuff" ;-)
