The 4 W's of life

After Ananthu and I told the story of our life, piranha base 2 members vinod chettan and Anu chechi came up with the 4 W's of life. In what was presented like a reality show, our Sir told about the 4 questions in our life. And as vinod chettan and anu chechi answered those four questions, everybody else who were listening to them must also have asked them these four questions.

I am asking myself these 4 questions.



What do I want to become?

I want to become a member of the piranha team. Just the thought of being a member is so exciting, so we can only imagine what i would be like to be one. This something is sooo huge that we have limitations to what we can imagine. The team will go beyond these limitations. Others would simply look at us and say: "The mother of all teams"

Why do I want to become a piranha?

I have always wanted to be a programmer through out my life. And now that its achieved, why not be the best in it. The team piranha will contain the best developers one can think of. Not the ones who are highly skilled, the ones who are highly capable and i want to be that. When you are something, be the best at it.

When do I want to become?

Setting a timeframe for this is hard because one cannot forsee whats gonna happen next moment. But at the earliest is when I want to be.

HoW do you plan to make it possible?

we have the plan. We will just execute it. I havent dreamt or wanted something huge in life. I have always settled for simple things. Now is the time to take big decisions and execute them. I shall not pray to God to make me a piranha. But I shall ask him to show the way, give me the strength and to hold me when I am down.

I am not a person who takes decisions all the time and when I do I know how to execute it as well. 

Tomorrow never comes until its too late

I have always had this habit of putting off things to the next day and from that day to the other day and so on. The same thing that we call as Lord Ganesha's wedding.

Dont know about that? This is the story.

Once the elephant headed Lord Ganesha decides to marry and he gets someone to decide on a good date for that. And the scholar who he consults writes the date on a paper as  "tomorrow". So each day he would take up the paper and see the date as tomorrow and so his marriage never happens.

This is the story. And this is the story of many a people. I know that because I am one of them, I mean, I was one of them. Not anymore. Need to give up this habit. In the pathway to becoming a piranha, may be this is the thing I need to drop first. No more "I will do that tomorrow"s. Will do it today, this moment itself *.

Totally unrelated... But WOAH!!!

Some facts about piranhas.


1. Piranhas teeth are sharp and intense like a shark's. But are replaced in quarters multiple times in their lifespan. The word piranha itself means 'tooth fish' in Brazialian language Tupi.

(Guess we will be the only piranhas that wont loose teeth like this multiple times in our life span, or will we loose teeth? :P)

2. Piranhas do bite with quite a bit of force, about 72 pounds(3 times their own body weight)

(We are gonna copy that)

3.Humans are part of piranha diet only if they are dead or are dying. 

(We wont eat a human even though he is dead)

4. Some piranhas are cannibals

(Yuck!! :P)

5. Some are vegetarians

(Even if some vegetarians join our team, that wont be a problem. So great!)

6. When hunting preys, piranhas go for the tail and eyes first.

(The strategy seems brilliant. The prey will be immobilized by doing that. We got lot to lears from you guys, piranhas)

7. Piranhas make bark like voices.

(Interesting, right?)

8. They are great grilled, or in soup

Starting off... with a poem

Seven different people, from across the place
We met each other on different days.
Now on a mission, sharing our views
We will mark history, building something new.

It wont be easy, it wont be lite,
But one day we will be in limelight.
For all that matters is success,
When we are ready to take all risks.



Thousands of problems will block our way,
Many negatives and seizures will others say.
But we will definitely be piranhas one day,
And I bet it will happen before its too late.

One day the world will look at us in wonder,
How did they do this, they will ponder.
The secret lies in believing oneself,
Then success will unfold itself.
