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, ...

Stuff comes out mostly in LIFO fashion!

Its always Last In First Out with me! Now I had a series of EXTREMELY weird dreams last night! Dreams have a very elegant hold on your mind i believe..Dreams can give u ideas, suggest u stuff, make u face ur innermost fears, dreams can make u fly, show u what u long for .. I had a very interesting conversation about dreams with a frnd... will publish it some other time.. I don't always remember my dreams, and most part of last nights I have already forgotten.. but am sure if I try to collate the bits and pieces tht I remember, we might have a nice story! ;-) dreams show u what ur subconscious wants u to see.. Well for me, dreams are like Cartoons! You can craft things in your dream.. Animate objects, change colors.. Play with shadows! No laws of Physics apply there unless u want them to.. Live in your own world.. I Like Dreams.. I like to live them..

Beautiful Days... Beautiful Times..

Was free the whole day yesterday.. a centipede from a jungle on national highway bit me while i was busy 'clickin' my dog !! DONT ASK! Anyway i decided to do the never ending job of organizing my lappy last night.. I have an entire drive by the name MEMORIES.. opened it and started organizing photos.. school days, family picnics, My pet Dog, cousin's wedding, reunion pics, birthday parties, sleepovers, there were so many memories in those folders.. though they brought a smile on my face none of them made me feel like i miss those moments until i came across a certain folder.. My engineering life.. Brought a lump in my thorat thinking about how everythng so familiar and awesome has come to an end... no more train-takshari.. no more classroom comments.. no more mimicry of 'dear' professors.. no more calling them names, deciding whoz 'on the other side of the fence'.. proving your theories about one of the classmates being gay.. No more studying in group for v...
