While Breaking Even

Well, I am back to me. Not that I don't have anything else to write about.. well.. may be a little because of that.. and also because, I love writing about me. I am writing up a whole lot of stuff for office these days. Its half year. You have to document everything. Creativity has to shine there. For my rating depends on that. I used to do this thing since I was a child. If I want something, and in case I did not get that (say a bike or a toy when I was kid), I would convince myself that I do not want that. Or I am better than that. And I would stop craving for that. I now know, that even though its a good self defense trick (you rarely get hurt with this) - its not very appropriate. Life is a game really, and you can't win all of them in your first attempt. And that does not mean you should change the game altogether. As always, there is a next time.   If life with a job has really taught me something - its that - Its okay to commit mistakes. Like if you want to...

My bro just finished his final year exams and so - to help him with his interviews - there are a lot of mock interviews going on at home - where Mom and Dad are the interview board. So they were asking him basic HR questions like 'tell me about yourself' or 'what are your hobbies' and he asked 'who is your role model?' To which my bro replied - 'my role model is my Dad. ' Dad suddenly felt a sensation of lightweight ness and about to touch the roof. Mom had an "just as  I expected - he does not love me enough" look and looked at the mango tree (thinking 'this season, the mangoes are smaller')  Dad detected this sudden change in Mom's behavior (He's an extremely smart guy and they are together from what - 28 years - so Dad knows her really well) - Hence he tried a disaster recovery by asking "Son why not Mom? why Dad?" Bro replied "Dad, I could have said Abdul Kalam, and then he would ask me something ab...

So the other day, I was on my tea break and overheard this conversation. One of my friends was talking to this guy asking "So you're not having your smoke today?" and he replied "No, no. I don't smoke when I am sick" to which she replied - "You know, you will probably live much longer if you fall sick much often." Real life ironies - I don't look for them, they happen to me. P.S: Reader comments are closed for this one. No reason.

Have you ever played Rock Paper Scissors? I won't deny it, I heard about it from American Sitcoms and Hollywood movies. Never played it. Looks like a fun game though. Its just like a coin toss to see who wins - but much cooler and fun than a coin toss. The logic is simple - Paper covers (- and overpowers -) Rock Scissor cuts paper and Rock breaks Scissor.  by the way - fist is a rock, open palm paper and V-sign is scissor. You can just cry  Rock Paper Scissors simultaneously and the make the hand formation to see who won. If both made the same thing - try again. I would have loved to play this game or to use this to break an argument. Too bad I am all grown up now :( P.S : I don't think you can play this game online or over Skype (the ping delay - u knw!) - May be in future when we all have super fast broadband and.. Nah, leave it.

So, why am I writing this blog? Frankly? Because I have run out of people whom I can talk to. And this disconnected trail of thoughts are actually irritating. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I am a  smart ass . (third line and the first lie. That's well going I suppose.) By the way, do you believe in luck? I do. For, as a matter of fact, I have always believed that a large part of my achievements  or mishaps in life, as works of pure luck (or fate) only. That does not make me a  religious  person, though. Being in the company of good and loving people, getting an awesome family, having money to spend, no troubles, nothing to bind me - whats life without these small pleasures and how many people are lucky like this after all? I am confused. From a long time. The problem is I did not really want anything and I don't usually strive for anything as well. I envy the people who have a passion and strive to get that. Anything that may be.. say to be a direct...
