Heights!!

Q. What would you do if you ordered food and had no money to pay?

A. :D

Yes, this was what the delivery man got from us. Bill: 468 Rs. After thorough search of the house, all that we could come up with was 356 Rs.

"Bhaiya, please kal aake paisa le jaana, abhi khatam ho gaya hai!"

(Not something that I am proud of, but definitely something that should not go unmentioned!)

Q. When was the last time you had no money? ;)

Time flies by.

Seems odd. According to calender, it was exactly one year before when it happened.

It feels like it was ages ago.

Thought for the day

I'd leave you with a thought today: What would you be if there was no-one watching you?

What if..

Sometimes, there is a deviation from why.

What if the Batman left Gotham?
What if the Superman left the Earth?

He's playing games!

The super master; the one whom I am trying to find; is playing games with me. To each and every thing that I've said that I won't work upon in my life; I am being forced to do it. Here is a very short part of it:

1) Mumbai - I had said I won't leave mum; BAM! No more Mumbai for me.
2) Workplace - I had a strong notion about not working in places which banned sites like orkut and FB - The master has it again - spending 12 hours a day at a place which doesn't allow many such sites!
3) Arial Font: I simply had pledged not to look at a doc in Arial font; I used to change it to some other font and read it. And as the master dictated; I am doomed to work in a document which doesn't accept any font other than Arial!
4) Teaching: I had sworn long before; in front of my mother; I wont ever teach a full fledged class like she does; well, though it was more by my choice; but the master made me take a class!

Lets see what more is in store; for the time being - I've stopped stating any thing with the trailing line "I swear I won't do it ever in my life!".

Dear Master, as I said earlier too - lets play!

Once again

I state it once again: Great people (read: Elders/ more experienced people) have a way of discovering and stating the obvious. These words prove to be the silver lining when it's bleak all around.

Before falling, even if it is for tiniest possible fraction of time; your mind accepts defeat. If you can train your mind to avoid that moment; is it possible that you wont ever be defeated?

Coffee. I want coffee.

Everytime!!

Everytime I decide that I would not crib about this city/ start liking this city - it just beats its previous performance.

I was stuck up in jam for 2 hours today - for a route that normally takes 5 minutes - and that too because of stupidity of the administration! x-(

p.s. Rajat, just shut up. :P

Problem

I was woken up from sleep today with an interesting problem.

Q. How many short line segments will form with ten intersecting lines?

Nice q! Try it and post the solution in comments. :-)

p.s. try it for n!

Speed addiction

The baby (HH) touched 150 yesterday!

:D

Ain't no mountain high enough?

Life poses another challenge. Another fast converging deadline. Another herculean task. And as it seems when you take the first step, almost un-do-able.

As I discovered on the trek the other day, all the challenges of life have not even been discovered, let alone won. A simple 20 pound backpack was enough to curb the 'immense' will power that I had. The mental baggage of the backpack proved much much greater than the willpower.

Reflecting back, the mistake seemed so stupid. I shouldn't have fallen. But as they say it, life is all about learning from mistakes, getting up and running again.

I will win. I will.
