Hi
Aug 31 has been a special day for me since my engineering 2nd year days:)
So last night as the clock crept towards 12 i habitually reached for the mobile
(Hutch is great..gives 200 min free talk time to Hutch phones). But i restrained myself ..knowing better.
Since the morning i was itching ..was confused. Coudnt fully make up my mind about what will be correct. being politically correct!God.. time flies but still some of us are left lurching precariously in a time wrap.
To all of them i am quoting a fav pink floyd of mine. It is called Coming Back to life.

< Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and i was helpless
Because the things you said and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun />

Signing off.

man proposes god disposes

this is a well known almost universal cliché which every looser swears by. somehow i find this whole idea stupid. it is true that we didn't come to this world on our own. but since then, where ever we are today is because what we have chosen to do yesterday.
this brings me at loggerheads to the fatalists. i refuse to believe in arbit things as luck, fate. the whole idea that we are not in charge of our own life nauseates me. we are architects of our own destiny .we are who we choose to be.
it is important to fail in life. the person who has never failed in life can never fully experience the euphoria of victory. and slowly victory/winning becomes a habit.
let us all close our "mind" and think for a minute where do you want to see yourself 5 & 10 years down the line .you might be surprised to see what a little bit of introspections gives a whole new dimension to our life.

Hii
Without much of a first time "birth pang" here i am !Thanx to the latest development of technology which has made e-publishing an out right easy task which even your granny can pick up!!
Initially i scoffed at the very idea of having a Blog. When i was young at times i had sporadic burst of enthusiasm of writing diaries. they usually lasted for 6-months to a year and kept on recurring with larger delays in between.
what do we write in a diary? dont we write personal stuff in diaries...isnt? Stuff we want to keep to our selves maybe or things that made sense or which didnt usually finds place in a diary which we guarded fiercely lest they fall under unwanted scanning!!
But blog is a diary which any DAMN person in this earth with a net connection can read. So i used to wonder may be blog is a sort of filtered personal diary...My "step motherly” attitude changed over the months and here i am. This is my way of expression of what ever brazen thoughts n ideas that keep on hallucinating me...and much much more!
