life changes....
now a days i am sitting and thinking hard about life......
how my simple college life turned to a more complex life....
how pocket money changed to huge monthly salary.
but still less happiness......
how a free local pants changed to new branded wardrobe.
but less occasions to use them....
how a single plate of egg pups changed to a full pizza and KFC.
but no hunger....
how a bike always in reserve changed to a SUV which is always on.
but less place to visit.....
how a single rupee saved to recharge phone changed to postpaid connection.
but less people to talk.....
in short, every thing got better....
but there is no happiness...
there is no close friends...
there is no time and enjoyment...
things are getting mechanical and life is became lonely.
i never got time to look at my watch to see the time, and used to think times has gone very very fast....... but now a days i always look at my watch and thinks why the time is not moving...
i am really bored.....
what about you people..?
hi isobell...
i dont have money or any possession other than my heart. (that one is not brand new, its a broken heart.)
i lived the life of labor over here.
i worked under hot sun.
i worked at day as well as in night.
i lived in labor camp.
its true that they suffer a lot. lack of food, lack of rest, lack of money, lack of entertainment like others.
many times i took them with me to the malls, film theater even to IMAX. not only that i took them to pizza hut, KFC. i was soo happy..
you know why?
that was there first time in a mall..
they never had such food items before. i was happy because they were more happy then me.
we were life brothers..
life in labor camp is horrible still there was lots of things which makes us happy.
i just dont care how happy or how sad i am.
i only care how happy others are because of me.
when i was with them. i didnt feel pity for the life they have. but i feel pity because the supply company survive because of them. they send them to so many places and if they get 100qr per person the company will only give them 30qr. the rest will be taken by the labor supply company.
i felt pity for that. its the labor who work hard. and its the people who sit in AC rooms gets the profit.
there was a nepali man.
we used to call him police.
one day he was working late night. i was there with him too. he was the best best worker we had.
next day, my accountant called me and told that police died. the f....king company didnt give him any money more than his salary.
i left the labor camp.
as you know, i cannot make both the labor and manager happy. the manager told me that i am giving more OT than they deserve.
i left the company...
now i am jobless...
its true that i am an engineer. but it doesnt mean that i was sitting at my office and posting form topic in QL. like others do here.
i joined QL only only after loosing my job. and when i was at job. i will be with labor than in my office.
my boss always used to tell me.
you are an engineer, not a labor. you are not suppose to go to the labor camp and make friendship with them. you are suppose to make them obey the orders and make them work.
but i.........
If you are unhappy about moving forward, this is what we all have to do actually, it's called life. I suggest you give all your money away and your possesions and go live the life of somebody less educated than you.
Go and live the life of a labourer over here, go and live in the 'camp' they exist in. Try and live off their pittance.
Then come back and tell us you are unhappy. We all feel like you from time to time; it's called life.
Think yourself lucky. A lot of men over here would trade places with you at the drop of a hat.
LOL
Here I am
ask Dracula for the suicide map :)
what is going on???
what is going on???
Yes, we do too.. somewhere on our babies, in the flights, cars and malls. :-)

"We rarely dye our hair to look like europeans. Very rarely the ladies smoke.We dont dress up to look like an alien from another planet.We believe in a good bath rather than dabbing on perfumes."
I use wet wipes and dettol...
nw i understand, why JNTU..
He He....
Right, dear...You are blooming!
come on elegance....
who ever it is...
when ever they sweat they will smell bad...
daily bath and fresh cloth may reduce the smell..
but every human will smell for sure....
unless he wear a AC dress like the one in shivaji.
rajanikanth was wearing in that film.
people who dont sweat at all are those who dont do any work and sit simply.
they will never have bad smell, they can live without bath, same dress for a week and also a good body spray....
hay if some one smell bad, i will just tell him.
bcoz he never know how he smell...
my sister always used to tell me, that i smell bad when ever i come from the hot sun. thats why i take 2 bath.
1 before going for work so that others can work with me.
1 after coming home so that other allow me to be at home.
take care...
this form is not about smell..
concentrate on topic man.......
We rarely dye our hair to look like europeans. Very rarely the ladies smoke.We dont dress up to look like an alien from another planet.We believe in a good bath rather than dabbing on perfumes.
But why are we still popular with our stink, sweat and nonsexy look?
Now dont tell me I am disillusioned.
I have heard enough after 15 years in three countries of living in the Middle East and travelling to more than 20 countries.....
Ouch... the stink of that coffee and perfume together in the lift, early in the morning...
Ha...Ha...Supeesh...I like it...
Woow Supeesh i am feeling happy in your words.I hope you are tuned to happy.keep this happy all along with you.But you made many people to think about their own life.Happy is every where,but we are not sensing it.
God bless you Supeesh.
All body have sweating harmones,certainely every body have smell with out body spray.hahahaha.......
ohhhh
i am smelly....
very bad smelly...
you need not meet....
sit in you ac office....
every man and women smells...
those who dont like there own smell will buy a body spry...
if you come and work under hot sun, then you will also smell...
worst than me...
civil engineer sitting simply at office will always smells good...
just joking.......
dont be serious..
take care
just think that i lied..
just think that i am not at all a mechanical engineer..
just think that i am a friend...
human.......
Sorry ..not my type , i don't hang with some one his profession is" b**ch mechanical engineer", ;)
dont worry man....
be happy..
there will be lots of people to help you..
and i am sure that they will make you forget the word BORED.....
if you are free... lets go out in your expense..
I wasn't bored .....now i am :(
i have time... but not money.....
i offer any help that i can do with my body...
i am always willing to help...
anyone anywhere.....
God bless you, Supeesh. Keep in touch with your friends through voip. Get friendly with few here.
And if you have the time and money, please go out and help people who need you..
supeesh, you're not alone indeed. Many are praying for your happiness and peace of heart and mind.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
you know....
when ever i am disturbed...
when ever i am sad..
when ever i am not able to think properly...
when ever i am not able to concentrate..
when ever i fed up with my life...
when ever i hate myself..
when ever i thinks that i am good for nothing...
the yoga helps me.
meditation helps me...
finally....
after a long hours of meditation i am relaxed...
i am feeling better....
my mind is refreshed...
and i am happy too.
happy to know there are lots of people in QL to help me...
thanks a lot dear friends...
i dont know any of you people..
but thanks for the care...
my dearest friend shyam left qatar for ever..
tito also left qatar...
saleesh left qatar.
sabin left qatar..
rajeesh left qatar..
every one i know left qatar..
i was alone here...
but now...
i dont think that i am alone any more....
i love u guys.......
Shapil and Nomerci...Ultimately it is just being kind and fair to yourself and have some self love...until that last breath escapes your mouth.. :-)
I am glad Supeesh made a few of us think deeply about life in general, at a time like this when everybody is bragging only about Qatar-2022.
there is a slight difference nomerci...which i personally understood after a long struggle but I am too tipsy to explain it now...maybe some other time as this discussion can get lengthy and is sort of hard to do with a computer.
shapil yes, that's what I mean.
you can be happy at some time and sad at some other times but if you are peaceful then you can be happy at the same time when you are sad.
Happiness, Peace , Harmony...is it not all the same? One might call it one thing...but in the end it makes us feel ..happy.IMHO
Supeesh, please don't get me wrong. But I really think you should NOT be with people of your wavelength at this time. You need to be with happy people, people on an entirely different wavelength than yours ,so that you can LEARN to be happy too. If you are with people who feel like you, you will stay where you are.
See it is not about being understood in one's misery that brings happiness, it is learning to BE happy no matter what the situation is.
Yes...Even I believe in peace rather than happiness.Even in my marriage. I value peace at home and between individuals rather than wild happiness all the time.
happiness is an over rated concept...beyond happiness lies peace...look for peace and equanimity and not for happiness.
Who does anyone think about life..
just live it.
it won't be complicated at all
Supeesh..I notice that your tone and mood have changed seeing all the support you got from people who dont even know you..
Why?
Because YOU reached out and found yourself some comfort, consolation and happiness.
Every day reach out for some happiness purposely and slowly it will be a habit for life..
ALL THE BEST....
The only other answer is Quaaludes - especially the red coloured ones :O)
i need not go to ramada for a drink.
its already there with me...
not even drinks can give me happiness....
suggest something else dear.......
Jacko.. girls? ramada parking? really? lol
supeesh .... Ramada Parking is just a parking...
You park your car there.... go in have a few drinks.... then you feel happy... take a taxi and go back home..... who talked about girls here.... lol
waw you people are very good....
you even dont know me at all...
but i can see how much you care for me from the post you put here...
thanks a lot friends......
but i think no one understand what exactly is my problem..
i know you people are trying to help me to find a way out from my bad situation.
but may be because of different wave length or for some other reason no one is able to understand me.
may be this form will help me to get someone with same wavelength. if some one can understand me, then he or she will have same wave length as mine...
and by the way..
ramada parking is not at all a solution for my problems.
if that was my problem then there is better place than ramada parking.
come on man...
not every one is behind a girl or desperate for a girl.
and i am not at all bothered about girls man.
just leave that part....
JM-2007,
I am still in Doha.
Thanks for your regards.
hahaha Brit. yes i accept you.
You are so right..
It is no different partaking from a chinese cup, then an English one.. The enjoyment is still the same..
DS... the bebsi thing gets served inside.... ;)
kumaran_63...long time no see no hear.... where are you?
by the way, you do tht bebsi thng out thr too... i guess.
Let me start a simple story,
"A group of old students went to see their beloved master.
And master welcomed all and informed them,to take teacups from the rack to provide tea for them.
The rack contains some beautiful rich look cups and bit reduced elegent cups and some ordinary cups.But every body tried to get the beautiful rich look cups and some people only got that and others took the cup as what chance they have to pick from the rack.
The master watched all this and poured tea to all and informed that " Here the motto is to drink tea only,but every body took care to pick the beautiful rich cup and in life also you are choosing( Chasing also ) some thing for nothing".Dont thing all girls are bad,what you have seen is, may be anexcemption from a girl.I have seen lot of wonderful character girls. As told by Nomercy see the world by wearing happy mood glass.As another friend told, try to have friendship with the person having your same wave length.Don't say that you only affeted by girls.There are many.But still all are happily surviving........
Mr.Supeesh- do you understand what i come to say.
so Mr.Supeesh all Sub( ject ) to ease only.
DS.... lol...
Tinker.... just an advice for people looking for it ;)
yea like.. jackie does...
yea boi.. those were the days..i miss'em tooo. sure life'd become mechanical. bt still i believe, we can get back in those days again fosho..
afta all life is all about second chances..
as she said, no matter the glass is half empty or half full... but ya always hav a refill..
ya seem familiar..? which batch ya're frm ?
supeesh you can get happiness at Ramada Parking... ;)
I always close my eyes and think about how full the cups are :O)
hi..
petvet, tinkerbell and arien....
you know, the gf and marriage is not at all my problem.
i dont care at all...
i want to live..
i want to enjoy..
i want to be happy..
but the circumstance dont allow me to survive....
its not giving me a reason to live.
thats exactly my problem is...
my parents used to say.
oh son you have a very bad time now as per your horoscope...
but i dont believe in all those things...
life is full of choice....
i make a choice which is right to me. and i never look back or regret about the choice.
its true that i have a broken heart.
it does not mean that i have a problem with broken heart.
i just mean that i dont want to break it any more.
now, the days count my life...
but i want my life to count days....
Sorry buddy I know about them better than you, cause I have lived and seen and dealt with many more than you.Experience cant be replaced with any. You failed OR you got the wrong ones in your life.
I am succesfully living with one past 12 years too, where we both cant even imagine without eachother.Much more to learn for you. cheers
nice answer elegance and the points made by supeesh are also remarkable just to remind everybody to give a pause and think.
ahhh.....
i think you dont know much about girls....
its very difficult to understand a girl man...
soo complicated...
its complicated to know what they are thinking when ever we are trying to explain something.
and they always take that in a wrong sense......
Those days when you crave for more pocket money and a better bike and what not.. you ddnt even bother to realise the beauty of it. when we grow up and look back we want those days back. Go there, you will want to come back again.....
Basically.. we conveniently ignore the negatives and the posiives keeps live in our memories..they make you miss the days. when you live , be it the past or the present.. the negatives rules.
your perception about marriage is silly n foolish,lol.I got married a decade back after a wild n crazy bachelorhood, dude..its all about gettin the right one, my life is much cooler now.. find people of your wavelength as friends, thst the solution for you . cheers
waw....
chocoholic....
i think you understand what i am talking about...
It's just STUFF.
The more STUFF I get rid of, the happier I am. The people in my life are much more valuable than any of the stuff.
thanks.
ur name says no merci...
but you are not like your name...
thanks for your tips..
"no matter how rich or how poor.
every one is sad...
even though they have lots of reason to be happy...."
Not everyone, but many..
many of us worry about what we don't have, rather than appreciating what we do.
I have see expats spend twenty/thirty years amassing wealth and peoperty, yet never getting the chance to enjoy it :O(
supeesh, very well said. The people I've referred to above look for the "Nothing" to embrace contentment. Nothing is something if not everything.
A Thing is Something, Something(s) are truly Nothing, and Everything is made up of Somethings, thus Everything is Nothing. Everything changes, and Nothing perishes, but since Nothing "exists", thus Nothing IS Everything.
Just an opinion.
Well supeesh, all I can tell you is this. I am happy , and I achieved that by doing what I have written in my earlier posts.
As a matter of fact, I am still learning about how to live happy....but now life is amazing and exciting, THAT is the difference.
Hope you get better soon :)
as far as i know....
all people all over the world is running behind something....
some are behind money..
some are behind power..
some are behind fame..
some are behind pleasure..
you know, each and every one is behind something.
they try very very hard to achieve it...
and finally when they achieve it, they understand that thats not the thing they wanted and start going behind other thing...
and when the become old they realize that they simply wasted their life running behind things which was unimportant in life....
no matter how rich or how poor.
every one is sad...
even though they have lots of reason to be happy....
supeesh, I am so sorry you feel that way. Tell you what, I have been there. In my own way, of course.
See, What changed things for me is that I started to enjoy what I have. Small things, big things...anything I liked. Do not worry what other people think. Just be nice, friendly ...and SMILE. Lighten up! Life is to be enjoyed, that actually is the purpose of life.
If something is not to your liking, don't dwell on it...find things you DO like.
supeesh, I know of some very few achievers who practically look for "nothing". They're not enslaved by their own ambition. I've found their inner strength and contentment to be so overwhelmingly impressive. They've literally freed themselves from the narrow confines of their own self-limitations.
That's Rich but rare.
funnyboy.....
come on man....
i prefer to die than getting married........
nomerci....
i prefer to have a alto than a bently..
bcoz both does the same purpose of transportation.....
my dress and outlook does not make any change in me...
it only helps other to have a basic thoughts about me.
which is always wrong..
truth is no one can tell how i am without knowing me well...
from the way i dress, from they way i look, from they way i talk... every thing will gives you a wrong impression...
and others think that i am not at all good...
and stop trying to know more about me..
i have only 3 friends who know me well and non are there in qatar.
they left, making me alone here...
Hey Supeesh, Get married.
"To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with."
— Mark Twain
hi elegance...
no more love please..............
if i didnt fall in love....
then i think i will b more happy than now..
some one already broke my heart...
and with great difficulty i learned to live with a broken heart....
Supeesh, maybe so. and is that wrong? We always want a little more.....that still does not mean you must be bored and not appreciate what you have.
I see life as a catalogue that presents all things to me to chose from...and that I do...happily and contentedly.
The key to happiness, IMHO, is appreciation. And with that come happiness from within.
Elegance, SPOT ON!
Money must be used to enhance one's life. Not to BE one's life.
Supeesh, would you prefer to sit in an old, defective car to go to work? I think not.I believe the problem is not money or material things, the problem is the view of life one has.
Look around you, what do you like? The blue sky? The trees? The ocean? Do you like your job? See all the things you like and appreciate them. Do you enjoy being well dressed? Enjoy it! Life is there to be enjoyed, and it presents things for you to enjoy every single day. Notice them and be grateful for them.The more you do that, the better your life will get. You will be surprised how fast your life will change for the better. As a matter of fact, your life may very well become amazing!
hi nomerci......
a poor man will always try to become rich.
when he become rich, he will be soo happy....
he enjoys the life a lot.....
you are like that.....
hi happy happy....
rich people get bored of all things after a long time...
that how happy is...
so u know...
when ever you get something new, then you will be interested in that for some time... and offcourse you get bored with what you have....
and you start looking for something else...
thats how the life is...
Share that pizza.
Give away your old pants to the needy.
Use your SUV to help people and go places.
Make calls to your old friends.
Make new friends who dont care much about your SUV, pizza, money or looks.
Cultivate the habit of happiness and gratefulness.
Reach out for happiness..
For happiness never comes to you unless you take the first step.
And fall in Love...
:-)
Money is not the key to happiness. But you can get some keys made with money.
Supeesh..Reach out for happiness....
Different things for different folk.. I personaly would agree with you that materialism does not always buy happiness. However, for others it enhances their lives and does make them happier.
It's all about your personal perspective...
oh , he is relying on material things...ah, I see, that is not very clever then.
Why do you live like that? All the things you have can add to your life if you let them. Having material things does not mean less happiness for me. I truly enjoy the things I have....more money, more gadgets, a nice car etc. They all add TO my life. I am grateful for every single thing I have...I admire its beauty, its usefulness, its convenience ..I LOVE luxury and I am very happy to be able to enjoy it!
I had friends before I had all the other things and I have friends now. I had time before I had luxury and I have time now.
Are you really whingeing because you have more things now...here is an idea...give them away and go back to the "simple life"....happiness is always there, most people just don't notice.
supeesh, like you, I think mere reliance on materialistic externalities won't guarantee happiness, only short-term excitement that soon fades away, leaving you with post-party depression.
