yet another set of pearls of wisdom

From G3 :
LOVE is like a CIGAR
It starts with a fire..... continues with
smoke.....and ends in ashes...
But dont worry - we are chain smokers

bulb: What about non smokers?

True love is like a pillow
u can hug when u r in trouble
u can cry on when u r in pain
u can embrace when u r happy
so when u need true love
spend Rs.50/
-Buy a pillow

bulb: isn't 50 bucks for a pillow expensive?

Puzzles

in life is about life and of life. Not a random rambling, my friend. Think about it. We are mostly at forks, deciding between the upteen roads that lay in front of us or wondering if we should ever pave a road by ourselves, look at the road less taken, guessing the answers to a lot of questions. For instance:"Will he find me attractive? Do I sound stupid? Did I give the right answer? Would this diet work? Would the stock index move in favor?
and..I need to run, be back!

absolutely no excuse

for not keying down all this while. Life is a roller coaster, and I am living by every single letter in that line. I guess I simply go my "Work expands and fills the time available". When I get more swamped with work, when there is abso no time, when there is a dying need for break, I will be back here!

stress controller

from roomie g3:
To Control Stress..the mantra: I AM
I = Ignore
A = Accept things that can't be changed
M = Move On..
Some of the best words I have ever heard!

La semaine commence

Some mornings are meant to go wrong. And interestingly, the few important mornings that a mere mortal would have, would indefinitely infinitely go wrong. As a part of my "Spice-Your-Life" plan, I managed to land myself with a job in a nice company. Little did I realize how this day would commence, giving a bright new hopeful week ahead of me.
As this morning cunningly dawned on me, I chirped up bright and sunny and Voila!4 hours later, I am sitting at a breakfast eatery oblivious to the peppy jazz resounding from speakers that I am still hunting for. I assure you, I definitely did not set out with this agenda in mind. Yes, you are right, I am supposed to be at !@#$%^&9 (my encryption to my work place) at my workdesk. I am definitely not lost, I refuse to admit. I am just misled by a trotting, petite, old lady. After walking about 2 miles in the scorching sun, tired but not famished, I ran into the eatery to hide from the blaze. Thatz where the savior of the day called me and offered to drive me to the office. Sincere thanks to him, I "picked up strings of life again" and stumbled into my office. God's grace, my HR was really more than understanding. But guess what? Phone lines are all down for the entire building and my passwords wouldn't work (You still think I am surprised?). Now I am poised like having a sprained neck and vigorously typing away..my remedy line has forewarned me about the line getting disconnected before they can actually fix my problem and has graciously asked me to try again, in case that happens..I can only hope tomorrow is better..looking forward to a warm, bright day again..ever hopeful!

Mr and Mrs.Smith

A hollywood movie with bollywood masala..One cannot help but like the lives of Jane and Jon. One begins to wonder if such a thing is possible to exist. Of course, Jane is smarter and sharper than Jon, probably bcoz Jon is so lost in Jane's charm and beauty (tsk..tsk..there is a better word for that), nevertheless, was a good movie to watch at 0030 hours, get lost on the way back and still laugh about the whole experience. wud pen more.
ciao!

new life

moving to another new phase of life. my new job is pretty interesting, lots of travel, lots of work, lots of people, lots of networking..and a very interesting company profile.
trust me, I am going to be spending 10 hours on just administrative work and there are soo many ifs and buts, dos and don'ts..wow!
still in orientation, my head has been talking to me, but just dint sit arnd to key it, will get back asap!
and no, I am still alive and kicking..actually, alive and coughing more than kicking

super sooner?

Did you notice how many really young players seem to be doing well in the French Open. Steffi Graf was a phenomenon in early 80s when she was ranked in her early teens. I am surprised to see many teens in the final rounds of the women's tournament at Roland Garros. There is 17 year old Ana Ivanovic (I think), and then there is 15 year old Bulgarian Sesil Karatantcheva..all in the quarter and the semi final rounds of French Open!!! Of course, how can one forget Martina Hingis and the latest heart throb Maria Sharapova (they tell me she is over 6 feet!). Boris Becker was a big deal when he won, I don't remember which title (think it was Wimbledon) and he was 17. Nowadays, it seems like the slogan is pretty much, 'Catch them young'. Even the William sisters are not that old, but I am not sure when they started out. Personally, I have not liked their game a lot. It seems to lack the class and the style of Steffi Graf or the more recent belgian Henin-Hardenne. Well, the point is are we pushing ourselves too hard and too fast. How long can these girls who have already touching peaks last? Can anyone stay around and do as well as the ever green Martina Navratilova? I know the game of tennis has a lot of wear and tear (going less of wear now, aka Anna Kournikova, hehehe)..so, are we just pushing human abilities to a new peak?tring greater accuracy and perfectness?

and my fears...

Netherlands too turn down the EU constitution. Sometimes, I feel this is akin to the behavior of the stock market. A general pessimism permeates and pulls the index down. There needn't be any particular reason/incident for such a behavior.As soon as the French voted the EU constitution down, I was sure that the Dutch would do the same. What surprised me is the greater percentage of "NO" from the Dutch as against the French. It is akin to the group mentality where the Dutch may be simply decided to follow the suite of the French. Socialists seem to be shaking their fists..don't yet quite understand why. Time would answer many of my questions (of course, and many other's too).
