Random thought

As I watched "Dark Knight" for the second time in one week, one thing clearly got registered in my mind - "Life is not about becoming a hero. Its about knowing whats right and doing it"

The sense of unfullfillment

Life is not as simple as maths is what I have learnt over the past few months. 1 and 1 very rarely add up to be 2. You can do all that is within your control yet find that not everything in your life is the way it ought to be.
My life is fast turning out to be a story of unfulfilled dreams and wishes. A guy going steady in life and earning a decent living shouldn't have too many reasons to be dis-satisfied with life. But life has its own way of playing tricks on you when you expect them the least. All of a sudden I find my life in a mess. Is there anything that I could have done better? May be not. Just that I could have accounted for some unpredictability in my life. All along I thought I knew people around me very well only to find that human beings are so unpredictable that many a times they don't understand themselves, leave alone others. May be thats the reason why on occasions people act in a manner extremely contrary to others expectations. There are way too many variables in life to predict anything. And thats why I say maths is a little easier. In maths you know what the variables are. Life unfortunately doesn't give you that liberty

Badminton after a long time

Finally I got to lay my hands on the badminton racquet once again. Felt good. Over 2 years now since I last played the game. Never knew hitting a toss to the back court could be this difficult. Old age man - I tell you - makes your life miserable. Now that I have resumed playing the game, hope to be a regular. Reminds me of my good old engineering days when I used to play badminton for hours together - even on the night before my 1st semester Physics end-sems. For the sake of record - I flunked the paper

Mumbai - Here I come

A bolt from the blue. Vishal called me up today and asked me to accompany him to Mumbai for some official work. This is the best part of my job - it literally takes me places. I was in Chennai a week back. Now I will be going to Mumbai. I simply love this travelling part of my job!

Well another day of my life has disappered into thin air and a few more wrinkles have registered on my face. A line on my day - It was better than yesterday. Work kept me busy throughout the day and didnt give the liberty to crib. Now thats real sad - you do some shitty work and dont even get the time to crib!

Another day...wasted

Like so many other days, 8th July 2008 goes down as another day of my professional life - royally wasted.

My worklife is so predictable. No new opportunities no new news. Work to me is confined to formatting documents and powerpoint presentations. I have been hoping and praying that my boss finds something challenging and exciting for me. Seems I dont inspire much confidence in him. I cant think of any other reason to justify the fact that my team members keep on getting work that allows them to increase their horizon of learning while I get to work on all seemingly innocuous and repeatative tasks.

Theodore Roosevelt once famously said "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing". The last part of the line definitely doesnt hold good for me.

A new beginning

People do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass. Things have changed in the past one year and how. A new beginning it is for me. And a new blog symbolizing a new perception of reality.
