WishList

The Greatest regrets in our life
are the risks we didnot take
If you think something will make you happy
Go for it..
Remember that we pass this way only once

we pass this way only once.....................


Yes, I will pass this way only once. So lemme travel it fully and completely. I don't want to miss anything in my wishlist to be untouched. Its marktwain who said "You will be more Disappointed by the thing that you didn't do than by the ones you did do". So Lemme Go ahead and do what I want to do. All i need to take care is none is hurt by my act.For instance my roomie pvss wanted by learn guitar. He talked about it, laughed about it but ultimately he bought a guitar. Whether he will learn or not is a different question. But the satisfaction of trying out, playing it and the feeling of doing something which he wished to do can match nothing.Do what u want to do. Don't hesitate unless its gonna hurt someone.
When i look Back, i had missed out a lot of things in life. School day pranks are understandable and forgivable,but i didn't do many of them since i don't know that they are forgivable at that time. Then in college, i missed out a lot of things. I never gave Public Apology, Never was in kitchen during Gramsevaand a lot more. Why that much. I was planning to Scream on roads immediately after getting a job.But i didn't. Its not because i don't want to do at that time. Its because i forgot it at that time. I always forgot my wishes at the moments.SO I have decided. I gonna make a WishList. I gonna write down all my wishes , however small they may be. It may be as silly as "wanting to eat roadside fried groundnut and walking in rain after a days work" or as major as "playing a prank on jaya when he is with his date". It can be anything. But , gonna make a list and make sure to do then at the right time. My first entry is "Wish all the Wishes in this wishlist is fulfilled"

Hope

Neither should a boat
rely on a small anchor,
Nor should life
rest on a single Hope.

its true. How a man can survive with a single hope. How can anyone decide something/someone as the only necesscity for their survival. Its rubbish. its foolish ness. why one should shatter if they didn't get what the aspired for? . But how it can be realised. How can we take failures and proceed forward with minimal setback. The key is in "Hope". Hope. Hope for a better job, Hope for a better salary, for a better lifestyle, for a better person , even for a better result. But don't fix ur Hope. When the Hope is fixed and aimed only for that ,then we are deeply disappointed if we end up getting something less. But of we also had a hope of constant improvement , then we will have a positive attitude to ain for it next time. Remember , its all in the mind, sucess or failure. Not everytime i like to sing these lines ............

Sometimes I wish I could
turn back time
Impossible as it may seems
But I wish I could ... So bad ...............

Music of Life

Life is Not a Race. Take it Slower
Hear the Music before the song is Over

Truth is difficult to digest. If the above quote is true then i am right. Are we happy at any point in time with what we have. Do we really enjoy doing something without thinking of future. REALLY enjoying ? . If you are , then u r lucky. But i was never. School time it was about freaking in college. College is about getting a job and bashing. Now about getting out of Rat race. But where it will end. Did i excell myself at any point of time. Did i patted myself ts any point of time. The answer for these questions is NO. But at times i was happy with my performances. But all time i contributed my sucess to swami. Whether it was my 12th Result or every sem results in college or while getting a job, every thing after the thing was materialized, my feeling would be "its all HIS grace and i don't deserve it".

ok Now gettting back to the point. I have decided. I want to enjoy what iam doing. I am going to accept what i am . It doesn't mean i will not try to excell, stop looking for a better opportunity etc...
It only means i will be happy in my current place , make myself more organized and try not to miss to enjoy the music of life.
There are many events in life that comes once . Ur first day in school. ur first day in college, first date,first love, ur farewell day, days between out of college and getting a job, first marriage in ur friends cicle. ur Best friends wefdiing etc... All these days some of them i missed due to the future at stake mania. Now i have decided not ot miss them at any cost.

OK its time for work Bye...................

Read to live,not live to Read

"Master Books,but donot let them master you.- Read to live,not live to Read".

"The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb." -Umberto Eco.


Looking Back, I realize that, Reading Novels had been my favourite and the only past time. I can even tell that its my only hobby but i hesitate to do that whenever i recollect the phrase "There is a slim difference between Hobby and mental illness".

Whatever it is, now i want to list down allthe novels i have read till now.This Crazy idea crept into my mind while i was trying to update the "Books I Like" link in my 360'. Suddenly i realized that there are too many favorites. Too many favorite books, too many favorite authors, all varying from time to time. Some consistently scored in my heart, Some made me something out of me by the time i finished them. Its a complex graph. Some are consistent and some attain pinnacle with a single book (depends on which of his u read first). for instance, Michael Crichton is my all time favorite. i read all most all of his except for Eaters of dead and Rising sun. Books like Jurassic park, Lost worls, Time line were read and reread a lot. I learnt chaos theory and quantum theory from his books more clearly. Still Godfather is my fastest read (twice non-stop).But still not all Puzo's are of my liking. Ofcourse there are book which played with my emotions. Who doesn't luv Erich Segal , the creator of eternals like The Class,Doctors, LoveStory. These books really left some impressions in my heart and made me something in life. Yes, i am realizing it now. I was getting to grow and getting matured along with books. Far away from home, with absolutely no expose to my community through my siblings or relatives, i grew with these books. First it was alister machlein , and other pulpfictions. Then came SS ,Ken follet, and others. Then came the people like John Grisham, M Crichton who fed my mind and people like E segal who fed my heart. Then there are other books like those self help, positive attitude building books which had contributed in its own way.


ok enough of my thoughts.lemme put my idea into action. so these are the books i have read till now. Surely i forgot most of them , but i will keep appending them as i recollect and with the new ones as i read them. Here i Go...

Me and Hangover

Its a beautiful Monday morning and i am still to be Clear. Here i am in office, Struggling in front of my dumb termial. Today i feel more dumb than my Dumb terminal. Last nights' effect. Samjakaroyaar. Last night udais' treat for his IIM-A was supposed to be in some hotel in MG Road. But me and hemant were trying to convience him for Latitude standing in symphony theatre.Initially udai was refusing, cribbing "no Dharu yaar?" , that yaar, this yaar, But eventually he agreed. So we seven went for latitude. Though this was not the first time, but with a big group , the effect was definitely different. Gals were cute and beer was running. Suddenly ashi wants to do some hellaluya. tried to convince him that here it will be costlier. But at the end some three bottles had gone inside my empty stomach. But i was proud that i was steady, drived back home. But the effect was seen this morning. O my God , feels like someone is walking inside my head. just now udai was also crying about that.Its OK. A New Experience. If anybody speaks of hangover , i know how it feels. But i don't want to in this anymore.
A lot of work to do. LCAS Test Case, PRs on office side and MBA info on personal side. Lemme see what can be done.....

Expense Report

Have you ever thought spending with your friends is bad. Had ever felt bad after spending on your friends for an event.

I never felt till yesterday. As the April approached, my term in my company gets on to one year. Excitedly,i opened my bank account to find Rs10.75. Shocked , i checked my investements , only to be disappointed. More fuel to the fire was when my room mates revealed that they have nearly a lakh as savings, in one form or other. i was frustrated with myself not only because of null investements but also inability to track my expenditures. That makes me a fool. But my mantra"learn from debacles" motivated me.I decided to track my expenditures. I started listing my assests and liabilities. I want to maintian a cash flow diagram and a monthly savings in something (preferably in funds). i decided. Now lemme see how i can do it.

Me and Medical Camp

This week I suprised Myself. This is the first weekend of this month and i thought atleast this time i will go for the Service camp. Otherwise again i need to lie to sarath on monday morning. But unluckily this weekend, my home saw many visitors. And as usual after the deadly Cricket match when me and jai proposed for dinner out (in honor of scopy and kris), pv had his own plans and was cribbing about going far for dinner.He is not coming for camp (since he is out of tejas now) , so he wants to prove i will just say , but i won't go for camp..(*88w9q7re9qwer89we7rwr8=wqer8=w9r But eventually we went and had dinner and i personnaly had a feel good factor (as expected kv didn't come). Now the question was how will i go for camp. As kuda willed it, ck told about abbis car. So next day,I was in car to whitefield for medical camp. I volunteered myself in pharmacy (data entry sucks). Did a satisfying work. Somehow these things gets u back to ground reality.
I decided to go to camp every month, lemme see how much i can do...
