pick the one vch makes sense

Some anonymous creature has written this...pick the ones vch makes sense to you....


1. Science has proven that the domestication of animals has resulted in a progressive erosion of their mental facilities. The domestication of humans has led to similar effects.
2. Your life is passing in front of you, you are getting old. You are going to die, and you're never going to be on television.
3a. Get drunk and have sex at 4 am on a Tuesday in the back of a running cop car while the pig's in the Chinese restaurant shaking poor Johnny Wong down for Chow Mein leftovers. Call in sick to work tomorrow.
3b. Stop being afraid of everything.
4. It has been structured so that we "need" money to survive. Most options for "earning" money involve us trading a large portion of our limited lives. Our "work" usually involves meaningless repetition that runs absolutely opposite to our human nature. Not only is our "work" boring, it is enforced with strict behavioral rules and the constant fear of being "fired". It has been rammed down our throats that this is a "reality", and that the benefits of this planned system outweigh the negatives. It is becoming increasingly clear that this may not be the case.
5. Being cool to people gives them hope. It gives you hope too. Help anyone who needs it and pay back every favor given to you in spades. Assholes are their own punishment.
6. This is my body. I'm the one who moves it around and I'm the one who makes it do amazing things. I will take full responsibility for the actions of this body. I will not be controlled by the body of another.
7. There is no priest, no politician, no boss, no cop, and no concerned citizen who will ever convince me that they are performing functions necessary to my continued existence. They do not matter, they only impede. There are no masters and there are no gods. There are only people who demand life, and people who demand control. Whose side are you on?
8. There is nothing sexy about mass production, hamburgers, or soda pop. American consumer 'culture' must continue to be ignored at home and worldwide. Yankee go home, and take yer shitty food with you.
9. Sex is awesome. So is a good burrito. So is a round of drinks with friends. So is reading. So is sleeping late. You shouldn't feel bad about constantly enjoying yourself. Misery loves company. So does boredom. Ignore the telephone.
10. Freedom is the only important thing, personal liberty the only pathway to dignity. Anything that stands in the way is the enemy, no matter what costume it wears. Stop being afraid of everything.
11. Nobody knows anything. Everyone is lying. Look out for each other.
12. Do Not Pet The Tiger. The Tiger is Sick.
13. It is an easy power to ridicule everything with sarcasm and irony, anyone can do it. It's much harder to give things a chance and try to understand. As smart as you are, there is always something to learn, and, conversely, always something to unlearn. Stop being afraid of everything.

Timeless classic

Subject of the matter is hindi songs. Over the years, hindi songs have evolved into termendous form. I have been connoissuer of hindi songs since my childhood days, when our vividh bharati played 'aap ke fankar' programmes. those days i was forced to listen to it due to my father's interest. especially during the holidays, my afternoons were filled with songs of yore...i was dragged to my afternoon nap listening to these songs. right now, while listening to these songs i get connected to those moments of that life. Anand & Abhimann were big favourites of me. nostalgia perks up, when i listen to those songs now.

Dennis...we have him here

When my son was in my wife's womb...I prayed that he should be more like Dennis the Menace. In fact, God answered my prayer and now I am suffering the consequences. I love Dennis...basically b'coz of his aversion towards oldies. Oldies, who are having difficulty in catching up with this generation...SMS generation....anything more than 4 words is categorized
as lecture.

Love is

an all pervasive, potent force that sometimes strikes you without our knowledge. There is no reason, why somebody should love somebody…it strikes us just like that…without any prior knowledge or data. It can not, but only have divine meaning attached to it….it is some sort of cosmic revelation. It brings in you that belief that everybody is inter-connected and are in some form or the other divine.

It is morning in Africa

I happened to read this wonderful short poem and which just about sums up all our lives...

It is morning in Africa and
As the sun rises over the plains
The gazelle awakens knowing that
If it cannot outrun the fastest lion
It will be dead.
It is morning in Africa and
The lion awakens knowing that
If it cannot outrun the slowest gazelle
It will die.

It is morning in Africa and you had better start running.

Anyways....I have decided to start jogging from tomorrow morning....

Cutest prayer

Sounds sensible to me...hope the elders listen to this first rather than God..

Signs of Welfare state

do i have to take a avatar of a journalist to report this? actually this is not of much concern but sometime when value of time goes up and you find the traffic rather slow and acting as a obstacle to reach your destination...you tend to get out of the bus and slap the creators of this mess. as usual i was passing through prathanana theatre in ECR and the traffic at that hour was horrible to worst.

i think when the governent hands out permission for some commercial activities to take place in a public place..it should act rather diligently...it should analyse the implications of there action on the general public. I think, having a theatre right on the main road...it is utter nonsense...it disrupts of flow of the traffic. There should be some acts or rules in this regards...like for example in France, or any other sensible country for that matter,all the petrol bunks are located 1 km away from the city limits..this is what you call a welfare state.

Reasons

The problem with blogging is that that you should be ready with the content when the time demands. I have never had a constructive thought about anything...that is, I am never sure of anything...the reason being that there is so much free knowledge littered around, that you start feeling disillusioned and never know which is right. Just visit a few blog site or information sites....there is fair amount of free will displayed and the authority of the language makes you believe that what is printed on the screen is right.

Business & communication

Eventhough by profession, I am an accountant, I am beginning to realise that I mostly do communicating than the real profession of accountancy. Out of the eight hours or more, I spent at office, 90% of the time is spent doing jobs which are related to passing of informations. This is done through a variety of modes...especially via email. So, at the end of the day, what matters most is how good I was at communicating than how good I was at accounting.

Nowadays, information is within your hand reach...the addresses are at your figure tip..aided by the 'www' revolution. I don't think anybody is buying encyclopedias nowadays. Morever, knowledge accumulation has to be done on minute to minute basis as things are becoming obsolete in no time. Consistency is a thing of past now....and 'now' is happening.

Skipping from the main line...I found this at "Alchemist"...

[Destiny] is what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny.It's a force which appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your destiny. It prepares your spirit and your will; because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, whatever it is that you do, when you are really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earthTo realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation. And when you want something, the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.

Mediocrity & Genius

In the real sense, putting thoughts into exact words is difficult. Expressing ourselves is a difficult art...that's the real difference between a genius and mediocre person. Everybody is gifted with wonderful thoughts and it is unique and individualistic by nature...just by understanding this uniqueness will give us enough pride to express ourselves. Born as human being we are supposed to express ourselves in our own unique way....finding this unique quality or talent is the essence of life. The idea is not to compromise on our capabilities or talents.

The centre idea of Ayn Rand's books were about this uniqueness, which was displayed by the protagonistic. There is always a conflict between the mediocre person who has compromised his thoughts ( which always flows with the tide of society) and so-called genius, who does not compromise his ideas and goes about proving his worth. Most of the time, these people are cornered and subject to tiring tests to prove there claims. And most of the time, the mediocre with there excellent social skills, push the genius to the background and gets the credit. In real life, mediocrity always wins...for the time being...but it does not withstand the necessity to prove.

The afterthought is tht society always fears people who does not conform to the traditional pattern and they loathe change of any nature....

MST you did this week?

What is the most significant thing you did this week?

Occassionally I stumble upon such profound questions...yeah...I do ask this question at the end of everyday. I never had a good answer to this question. When the time starts where upon you don't have a answer to this question...I think the situation is quite dangerous. It is most important that we have some purpose or meaning in our life...agreed that at the term end of our life...we will be left with nothing..but then dying even while we are living is as good as living without a purpose or objective. Frankly speaking if somebody questions me, what is the purpose of my life...then I might have a blank expression. When I run the slides of all the activities I had done during this week, nothing corresponds to what I really want to do with this life. I am nursing a wish , which I don't even have the confidence to tell or talk about. Nothing anti-social or mean about it....it is all about my level of confidence and effort I take. Again...let me be little frank...did I do something today to further my wish...NO.

This week I want to focus on the following issues...

1. my academic interests - that will enhance my resume.
   - I should spend more time reading books related to academic interest....whereas
   I spent most part of leisure time(while outside office) reading fiction.
2. my profession relationship - that will enhance my presence in the top management
   - I maintain a very low profile with my other department colleagues mostly b'coz I
   don't have time to interact and also I don't see any reason to do so...the only advantage
   such an attitude has is that I keep away from office politics
3. Managin money matters - increased purchasing power.
   - once in a while, there is heavy flow of cash and I get an increased sense of purchasing
   power...money is power, if used sensibly...being a spontaneous buyer, I need to lock
   my purse to save money for the winter.

29 minutes before midnight

I have started hearing the small breathing hissing sound made by my family members while they sleep. For the past 2 years, it has become a habit with me to stay-up till 12 in the midnight. When I was young, beyond 10.30 pm, was midnight and we were told that creepy shadows moved around and so we were asked to close our eyes. The fact is that time moves so fast that it zips by and catching up with the luxuries are rare nowadays. There are days when I have enough time even then I waste it wondering what to attend to first.
When I am drowsy, my mind stops working and dreamy, unrecognizable world takes over. My whole perception changes and I am not what I was few hours back.

And then as I was browsing, I stumbled upon this nice song by Katie Melua…never heard about her before…but this song is good....I got it from her Myspace site. True to the title...it sounds as if just in heaven.

Why

do I write or make an attempt at it? Most of the time, when I try to write something, my mind runs around in search of contents. This seems to be a life without much happening in it. I have seen minds which are treasure trove of information and perspectives. I worship those inquisitive and sensitive minds. Those are minds of people who really live and rather they don't let life bypass them. They always have something interesting to say or write about. There thoughts are not in coherent with the general opinion of the lay man. I like people like that, who voice out who they are really in this jungle of homogeny.

50 minutes before midnight

We got our freedom during the midnight and and I am getting mine just 50 minutes before. I have decided to go for a fresh blog site, which will showcase my perspective about the day and the casual thoughts about it. Right now, since it is almost midnight, my thoughts are all about sleep and having a good dream to wake me up in the morning
