I can't understand it and I can't even understand the people who can understand it.
it's getting already difficult to live as an atheist in my own place! God knows what will happen if I write a book about it. may be, I won't.
Plan like you will live forever. Live like you will die tonight. Yesterdays are dead. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and one day, I shall be right. Fight for your happiness. It's the only thing worth fighting for. The great Aristotle said those immortal words, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” May you find yours.

never force a mind!
never never never force a mind. A mind forced against it's will is of the same opinion still
Only dead fish flow with the flow!
I have had a queer life, have I not?
I was tempted this morning to take an account of my life. It's not that I always went against. There were so many times when I did go with it, when I played dead and I have had to pay for those mistakes!
Times when I went against the flow:
The beginning of a rebellious life: getting my long hair cut at 16! It did not make sense to me and was perhaps the most scariest thing I did in my life. Looking back, sounds just right.
I could not take science: getting rid of non-medical at 17- the only student out of 5 sections to move to commerce!
So, finished school with no idea of what to do with life.
Bcom (with the flow). I should have studied advertising or mass communication
Chartered Accountancy (with the flow)
Getting rid of Chartered Accountancy and deciding that I was not cut out for it (Against the flow)
Beginning of CAT preparation (not my decision, with the flow!)
Eventually finishing graduation again with no idea of life!
Diploma in Tourism ( Against the flow. It was a conscious decision).
Taking up jobs (RDM, Vertex, Interglobe)- I will say with the flow. That was not my passion. My passion has always been advertising since I discovered MICA! But I did not attempt then to get into advertising! why? I don't know. I was just comfortable I guess. What a waste! Learning, perhaps. Why so slow?
Eventually getting into S P Jain after 5 years of CAT preparation. (Against the flow)
I have no idea why I forgot during the campus stay that advertising was what I really really wanted to do. It would have been easier with the help of campus office! But I lost track or I was supposed to?!!?!
Now I am 29, got laid off and realized once again that advertising was what I wanted to get into! Why so late?! I may get an opportunity to restart my life, will I take it, won't I? The price is immense, it almost means starting my working life afresh!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I do, my belief about compromises will change forever. From never compromise on what you want to compromise what is less important (and you want it) to get what is supreme!
hey, looks like destiny is out to teach me something!

What Why When How Where Who

2 kinds of people!
There are 2 kinds of people around.
There are those who always look for the best in you and then there are those who constantly find faults, no matter what you do!
Run for your life from the latter set of people and embrace the former!

totd
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.
