At the Crossroads

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now. --Joan Baez When men and women agree,it is only in their conclusions;their reasons are always different

The Three Cs

Coffee, Cola and Computer.. My life over the past few months has been revolving around them. An early morning Coffee has become a necessity to survive the stress, pressure and biting cold. A small visit to a coffee shop during the early hours of the day is such a bliss. I get to see impeccably dressed ladies chirping in their local accent, people rushing to meeting rooms, some trying to beat the hangover acquired from previous night's binge drinking...

Most days i dont carry food. Either am too lazy or too tired to cook and pack stuff up. So i end up in one of those crazy restaurants that pride themselves on serving the most fattening food ever. No wonder obesity is a national concern here. Here is when i sip cold cola while savouring the fattening food.

Call it occupational hazard or habitual hazard, but Computers have become an integral part of my life. For one, my professions demands it and second, it has so much to offer that i simply cannot ignore it. I will have to explore ways and options to fill my life with more of As, Bs, Ds......Zs.

Yeah, on a highway named life, i feel like roadkill..

The Story So Far

Another year has come and gone by. Reminds me that what is born has to die someday. It is amazing how fast time flies by and human species, however strong, has no control over it. It was a very significant year for me in all aspects. For reasons both good and bad i will cherish the year 2007. It was a year of happiness and sorrow, of tears shed over a silly candy war, of big ambitions, of hopes, of homesickness, of love and hatred... Ah!! the vicissitudes of life.. This year taught me that life has a plethora of remarkable things in store for every individual, none served on a silver platter though. It takes every ounce of energy to seize it from the cluthes of life. It is total bliss if you win and if you loose just 'try again'.. Life moves on.. hope still floats.. Every new morning is an opportunity to do something remarkably different, to stand out in the crowd, to make a dozen faces smile, to love , to miss home and sob in the restroom.. I want to reach out to life and grab every single thing that belongs to me.. 2008 is not gonna be so bad after all... i am gonna get all i want..

Another year will pass by at the flicker of the eye. Hope it brings loads of joy and happiness to all.
