I completely agree...

Sitting in the college canteen in the final year of engineering can be very time, hmmm.... consuming.

And while we are at it, some of us like to amuse ourselves with..."engaging" conversations about higher ideals...

One of these conversations related to the state of engineering education.
Today, thanks to Rahul I came across the above link. I must say, The business Innovator Insider has summed up the discussion better than any of us could ever have...

A New Blog...

Lately i have felt the need to make a compendium of quotes that appeal to me...

Hence i have started a new blog for the same purpose... Myst'n Haze.

Turn mountains into molehills...

A great Quote, by a great person, delivered at a great place...

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Patterns!!!

Is there really a pattern to everything in this universe... or do some of us human beings really like to be paranoid???

We get depressed whenever we do not get what we think we want.We sulk, we get disappointed, and then we say, it was all for the best.

:)

Honestly, whenever i have worked really hard for something and not achieved it, it has always been a blessing in disguise. It has always helped me unearth my shortcomings and motivated me enough to work on rectifying them.

But thats not what I really want to talk about. Honestly, whenever i think i have setteled for the second(or even the third, or fourth, or ...)best after all sincere efforts and resigned myself to my fate (very unhappily...i might add too...) in the short run, in the long run, i have always ended up thanking god that the sequence of events that have taken place are perfect. If i had successfully made any alteration, i would not have been any happier. Worse, there is a possibility that i would really have been much sadder!!!!

the bottom line is... i dont know about you... but sometimes i like being paranoid!!!

if you are wondering on what got me started (blogging after so long... and that too on so abstract a topic...) well, the credit goes to the pic in the following link...

About Version 1.0

I was going through my very first entry, Version 1.0 for the nth time...(yup...i love what i write!!!!) when i realized it had some very basic flaws that defy logic.

Hmmm... so the plan is to come out with Version 1.1 some day... and let's hope it will be a stronger, more refined and hopefully much shorter version of its predecessor.

Of course, I have no idea when I Will come up with the revised edition of the original...coz currently even time to breathe seems to be at a premium!!!

A brilliant article...

from the guardian...

an absolute must read....

Version 2.0.00

Solitude is perfection. It is the one point in space and time where one must shun all pretence, whether aquired voluntarily or involuntarily, and revel in the nakedness of the only reality, the reality of one’s own mind.

To the world, anyone can be anybody, provided he has the will and the drive. However, to oneself, the only person one can be is oneself. Try as one might, there is no way one can escape the glare of the calm, undistracted and all-pervasive sub-conscious.

Actually, there is a way. The way is to always remain occupied, so occupied that there is no time for thought to be permitted to disturb one's daily routine. And when, rarely, such an unacceptable time may arrive, to find someone, anyone to remain distracted. In the absence of mortals, one may take refuge under the very able hood of technology. Not only does it allow us to distract ourselves to no end by entertaining ourselves but it also facilitates interaction with other people, people whom we would never have even heard of in an ordinary, but now very ancient, way of life.

Today, the majority of the populace finds solitude a scary, even frightening proposition. A loner is considered a loser. And rightly so, might I add.

What’s amusing is that the ‘loner’ considers all the, if I may take the liberty of calling them that then, ‘socially over-active’ people (from his point of view, of course)losers. Preposterous indeed. Well, the loner is the one who is alone right. The ‘socially over-active’ populace has friends who would truthfully vouch for the fact that they are not losers. It is the ‘loner’ who is the loser. In fact, these friends would also, on more occasions than not, claim that they are perfect, whereas the ‘loners’ are weird.

To that, the ‘loner’ has only one statement to make. Spend a day in solitude. Awake, alert and without any sort of distractions at all. Just you and your thoughts. Sanity at the end of the (again, if I may call it that, then) ordeal will separate the winner from the loser.

Who will win, is anybody’s guess. Or is it?

Finally, a logical explanation....

Someone has rightly said, when one seeks the answer to a question with a pure heart and complete devotion, the answer presents itself and provides the seeker with new insights.
