The Secret Effect !!!!!

I wonder how many of you have read the book called 'The Secret' ?!? Now this post of mine inst going to be a book review but it is about something that stuck me instantaneously and  I just started jotting this down.For the past few weeks I've been trying to complete a single post but my mind being a bit preoccupied slash sluggish didn't give me the chance to  finish a single post,sigh !! But then i wouldn't blame my mind anyway since I was the one who had kept it highly busy.Let me finish this boring banter about my mind,perhaps another blog post about it someday. 

This incident that happened four years back,it wasn't something highly significant.Me being in college then was busy preparing for my semesters (i believe,chuckles!!) and simultaneously listening to my favourite radio station - 'Chennai Live'. The thing that I loved about Chennai Live is that they not only play international music but the shows were highly diversified and mind blowing.So there I was mindlessly skimming the pages of my book,listening to the show on books(Ah yes books,the sole competitor of my chocolate cravings) and authors.There were plenty of them who kept uttering the word 'Secret' which made feel a bit ashamed,that i didn't know the existence of such a popular book and made me curious as well.After thirteen odd hours i was able to possess the book (well yes i did waste time in the net) and I started reading it up.Now for those people who don't know about this book,it is something about the thought process- seek and you shall find (line stolen from Inferno,laughs!!!) no matter what it is you need it and you will get it somehow. Not exactly a self help book but something that left me musing over it for a long time and I ended up suggesting people that they take a look at it.I would say that whatever is given in the book is so very true although many of us haven't realised it yet,like me. Until this moment i didn't realise that i don't have to deliberately slash consciously think about something to make it happen.

Zoning back to reality here I'm at work and today being less strenuous made me surf the net and i ended up reading these meaningful comic strips created by several cartoonists. Suddenly this thought popped up and realised that this career of mine what what i had wanted long back. I still remember it now, eight years ago i was this bookwormish teenager and my father had instigated my liking for Dan Brown's works which made me end up with 'Digital Fortress'.Although till date my favourite work of his has been Angels and Demons,DF has a special place in my heart,it was the book that made me discover the arena of cryptography,forensics blah and blah. At that moment i was wondering if such career aspects would be possible in our country and i so wished i could pursue it.Well then time did roll out and like plenty of other people i too finished my bachelors in engineering and landed in this corporate world.The surprising aspect is that my career is more than just remotely related to what i had actually wanted.

I realise that Rhonda Byrne has made a fortune by putting forth a simple thought.We are what we think,product of our thoughts.Perhaps things would be different only if everybody knew this or rather like how i discovered the secret now.Finally i have to give myself a pat on the back for breaking the jinx that made the completion of a blog post a Herculean task and having completed this post in a record time of ten minutes (PHEW !!!!!) .After thirty two odd posts i have decided to become a bit selfish and dedicate this post to myself, after all i have found a reason that would make me grin all day.Perhaps everybody will be plastered with a grin when they are hit by the secret effect !!!!!
