Life teaches u a lot of things.. but are u a good student?

Got a lot of time to myself this week... 'Bunked' Office 2 days in a row. Don't ask why!

wasted my hours.. Movies, British Sitcoms, playing with and Grooming my Dog and a book- a John Rain Thriller.
Amidst all this, my brain was multitasking.
No matter how busy u keep yourself, there are some things that keep on running in the back of your mind.
The background processing never stops. even if u delay a thread execution, its bound to bounce back for some processing time as soon as your head is empty . and then u don't have an option.

Those threads bugged me this afternoon. so i decided to groom my dog while i make a few decisions and slap myself for a few other things.
Over the years i have learnt to not regret any mistakes that i have done. Be proud of those mistakes. u did them, they have to be special. but at the same time if u dont learn from them then it all has been in vain. Thats where the slap comes in.

"The training is nothing. The will is everything. The will to act." said Ducard in Batman Begins. I couldn't agree more!

So even though u process your thoughts and come up with the best solution there can be, unless you apply it, its never gonna work. The mere understanding doesn't help unless u act upon it.

I slapped myself quite hard. and many times too.
Its my time to act.

I am gonna be a good student now. Am gonna grow, learn and implement.

    I know this is totally off topic - but you said British Sitcoms. I was wondering - which one(s)?

    These lines are good "So even though u process your thoughts and come up with the best solution there can be, unless you apply it, its never gonna work. The mere understanding doesn't help unless u act upon it." Keep writing

Judge Away Your Honor!

Lately, i have been wondering a lot about all the judgments we pass around every now and then about so many things, so many people we may or may not know.. Passing judgments has always been a quality we humans have preserved generations after generations. we judge people on so many different levels.. it can be as harmless as ' the lady from the 3rd floor has no sense of fashion' or as serious an accusation as ' her husband is a jackass ' to an extra insensitive one as 'my boss is a loner'.. The thing is, most of the times we don't even realize that our judgments are based on some preconceived notions. Judging essentially means to 'assess something against a standard'. who is to decide this standard? who is to say whats proper/improper , what is meant to be and what should have been in its stead.. try an Exercise : try not to judge anyone for a day! -- You wont make past your first hour at work! and u'd shortly begin with your usual, ...

AUSome win in the Quarters.. Now,
PAK THEM OFF!!!!

A very interesting piece of article I read in The Times Of India, made me realize how emotionally we Indians are attached to the game.. Am sure yesterday a lot of BEEPs followed after Gambhir’s foolish run out! We cursed him overlooking the good 50 that he brought us. But, as long as they bring home a win we are fine with it J . My point is we are so passionate about the game, that its almost like we are the ones playing there on the field.. We love the game, we love our players. Considering the team we played against has WON the WORLD CUP TROPHY thrice, our win was surely an EPIC WIN that qualified us forthe semis! Our team is doing their best out there. The Men ARE BLEEDING BLUE! I can imagine the pressure our team will undergo while playing against the Pakistan team on home ground, but then the support of entire crowd there will surely fuel them up! Not to forget the thousands of fans praying for our win J We did our best to reach from Motera to Mohali.. Now, we target Mumbai! WE WI...

The Liquid Power!

Click Here To Listen To \'The Liquor Power\' Upload On My Sound Cloud :-) So i have been to a lot of liquor parties. Parties in GRAND places in Mumbai like The Leela or Mirage where you have rooftops and DJs and real classy crowd around you.. Parties at places where you'll find mostly college crowd, say Pop Tates or Gokul and Parties that are hosted by friends at their homes when parents go out of town mostly thinking, my son will take good care of the house ( LOL! hes gonna drink and dance all over the place!) One thing I couldn't help but notice is how different people act when they are drunk. here are a few observations i'd like to share : - People who usually keep quite, suddenly have this amazing confidence to talk! They yaber yaber about amazing topics, tell truly awesome stories and sometimes, sadly, just talk nonsense (but hey! everybody listening is drunk, who cares!) This phenomenon, slightly exaggerated, is shown (people who watch The Big Bang Theo...
