It's been a while ...

Its been a while since i wrote anything - but its been quite a lot of thinking i have been doing ... now should i share it with u all or should i refrain from boring u ... now this raises another question for me. who am i blogging for? you people out there ... or for myself (refer my first posting) .... Hmmmmm. I guess thats a rhetorical question - at this point you may stop reading if (a) you dont know the answer (b) if you are not interested in reading further

maybe i am writing coz its theraputic or i just have the urge to write something (maybe its the creative side in me wanting to break out and bring a change to my otherwise mundane and routine life) or am i desperate for a solution? what is it ... its confusing, its frustrating, its .... LIFE !! i am learning to love my life and I am learning to hate it as well .... the best part of the whole deal is this - i am LEARNING ...

i seriously believe that there are 2 sides/facets to everything - we live in a multi-dimensional world .... somethings may be one dimensional - not life - NO SIR :-| not life . i believe that its alteast 2 dimensional if not anything else ... you see I am a man of science. i have studied the sciences in school and college. i have studied them deep enuff to be deemed fit to qualify as an Engineer ... i need proof, i need reason, logic and convincing before i can agree ... but then i dont crunch numbers/theories enuff coz somewhere i realise that this is not life ... Life cannot be defined as an equation resulting from any hypotheses ... there is more ... the most beautiful thing in LIFE is the people and the experiences that we go thru ...

Something that really stared me in the face from a friend's email - his signature ... 3 simple lines that carried enuff reason and logic to justify to anyone (open enuff to believe) the beauty of this flawed human existence. the lines were: If to err is human and to forgive divine ... if no one is perfect, then I am the perfect HUMAN and I am proud of it !!

its been quite a while since I have felt relaxed - these 3 lines gave me a reason to relax ... and think .... till the next blog posting atleast ... and that may come sooner than i may think (no i m not advertising) ...

It's the weekend !!

Its the weekend ... time to sleep in late and wake up late too. == YAWN == as per the norms, my wife gives me a wake-up call around noon (my time). she is in India and i am in Europe - nice place, nie people, too many languages - so her evening is my afternoon. thos of u in lang distance relationship would know how much this can depress at times ...

but anyways, she read my blogs so far and said that i needed to write more. she kinda liked the concept that i can leave her some notes, personal stuff that she can indulge in her free time - its like living in the same apartment and leaving love notes and sweet-nothings on the refrigerator (especially when the couple works mutually exclusive hours) ... i found that analogy cute ;-)

Damned be the people who cant get their acts right and then i have to spend my weekends working for some of their really boring/brainless ideas and implementations. i am mumbling coz i spent my saturday in office yesterday (along with some 12 equally disgruntled colleagues). if i could buy brains and common sense over a retail counter, trust me i would give some of these guys BUMPER gift certificates.

but anyways, it was my sister who broke my slumber with an early morning fone-call (she lives in a different timezone as compared to me or my wife). I love you sis, but why on a Sunday morning? Boo hoo ... and what does she wanna know? name a few good brands of men's perfumes !! Eeeeegaaaaad :-(

On a sunday morning (as i post this over a cup of evening coffee), i really dont know how i smell ... Hmmmmmmm - he he he he ...

How - someone tell me how !!

How is any person supposed to make an informed decision? Some factors that come to mind are:
1. Know the problem (thats extremely important)
2. Know are the possible scenarios that may emerge
3. Choose the desired outcome and then plot the approache(s) to that end.

sounds simple? if life was that simple too, we would all be computer programs today !! sometimes (in my opinion), its best that you take what comes your way inspite of the option seeming to go in the opposite direction of ur choice. maybe thats life's way of showing you an alternate route which could be more pleasent (or worse) or maybe shorter (or harder and longer). but either ways, the variety is the spice of life and satiating curiosity is the essence of existence.

i could be wrong - but then are you any better informed? if yes, i would like to hear from you ...

This sounds like ...

This sounds like the song that Bryan Adams had been crooning sometime ago ... but I put it as the title of my first blog coz I thought it made a neat introduction to who I think I am.

Life as I know it, is in a state of flux for me and my wife. I thought this blogging may be a decent platform for me to vent my thoughts. I hope I can be a bit regular and if this thing helps me, you may see more of my (in)sane blogs in the future as well (watch this space).
