Learning to be patient....

There is a stereotyping:
Want to learn to be patient, get married.

A slightly changed version would be this.
Want to learn to be patient, file an H1B petition with a consultant (especially the guy I applied with)

Don’t Abandon Your Dream

There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th level. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb the stairs home.

After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on. When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.

They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at long last. Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door.

And they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the 20th floor

This story is reflecting on our life…many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under so much pressure and stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decided to dump this load.

Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream ambitious wishes.

But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live life as a misery as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining anymore, and we began to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.

We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream …… a dream we abandoned 60 years ago.

So what is your dream? Follow your dreams, so that you will not live with regrets.

My visual DNA



Procrastinating

One thing I learned in life is not to procrastinate, atleast in living life and being happy. There were several instances, I have thought I will be happy after I get something. In school, I thought I will enjoy once I go to college. In college, I thought I will enjoy once I start my job. Now I am at work but I have different needs. Agreed, we need to have the next-thing in life and have to be worked upon to reach them. But not at the cost of the present. This procrastination ends nowhere. So guys, its now or it will be never.

Only idiots live to work.

If you make your work your life, you’re making your life into hard work. Like most people, I confused myself by looking at people like artists and musicians whose life’s “work” fills their time. That isn’t work. It’s who they are. Unless you have some overwhelming passion that also happens to allow you to earn a living doing it, always remember that work should be a means to an end: living an enjoyable life. Spend as little time on the means as possible consistent with achieving the end. Only idiots live to work.

Moron Terror

Kafeel, Sabeel seen as jokers than terrorists in UK...
These were very amateurish attacks. People did not plan it very well, the device was unstable, drivers according to eye witnesses erratic in their behavior. It was very, very strange. It seems to suggest that these were apparently were just self-starters, inspired by what they saw on TV..

This is what is Moron Terror.
