She: Grrr...!!!!

Marriages And Marathons

I don't know if I would ever participate in a marathon - half or full....Its not that I lack the motivation or the dedication or lack the time to train....I just don't see the point. I would rather run a couple of miles every other day for the rest of my life than run that many miles just one day in my life....But few friends of mine did participate in marathons recently. I was really amazed by the enthusiasm and will of these rookie marathoners who did not relax even during the long-weekend breaks and successfully finished the run.

One interesting thing is that, they are just in to 12-18 months of their marriages. Of all the activities one (or even couple) can take-up on earth, I don't understand why marathons?? It makes me wonder, if it is really the enthusiasm to run or simply an excuse to run away from their new lives....I definitely don't know the answer....But definitely married-life or life is a journey not measured in miles....I have heard (just heard) or read that marriages do bring in a lot of changes in one's life or life style but marriages 'motivating' people to become marathoners is unheard-of or unread-of :) Who knows one day I might as well end up in one of these marathons.....for a good cause though.....

Tropic Blunder

Seriously...that would have been an apt title for the movie. You guessed it right - the Ben Stiller's new movie. I don't know how it is the number one for two straight weeks. I didn't like it...

I Survived

Its been almost four days since it gave up. The blue screen with messages (which btw didn't make a whole lot of sense to me) describing what possibly could have gone wrong displayed. But one thing was clear, it couldn't take it no more. Even a couple of hard restarts didn't do the trick this time, the same screen displayed over and over...With no laptop meaning- no YouTube, no Gtalk, no Economist, no Wikipedia, no Email- it appeared to me as if I was castaway from this world. Felt like I was incarcerated though I know I am free. Suddenly days seemed longer with plenty of time to do quality work and so moved things around to fill in the new found time slots and began to read this book "The Kite Runner". It is a father-son-illegal son story set in Kabul and States.

The no laptop day-1 started and ended quite differently. With zero dedicated browsing time , finished about one-third of the book in between my sleeps. Day-2 was different from day-1 too - Played tennis, phoned few friends (TG my phone was working) and completed a good portion of the story. I guess I didn't miss my lost browsing time much on day-2. I was done reading the book the following day. That day I felt like any other normal day, oblivious to the fact that my laptop is dead quite sometime.

In the last, not sure how many years, this is the longest I am with no PC. Very hard to imagine life without it. But honestly the experience was not as bad as I had imagined it would be. The one highlight is the gradual replacement of my browsing time slots with reading. I guess I got used to or may be adapted to the change. Isn't that true we, in fact all living beings must (or willing to) adapt to the changes around them in order to survive. I am no different. I think this is the fastest I have completed reading a story book thanks to my crashed laptop and also to my friend. One thing I realized for sure, laptop or no laptop- Zendagi Migzara....

Stick With It

It doesn't matter how many times you fail. It doesn't matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, and neither should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because ... All that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.

Well said Mr.Cuban.....

MSM 1980

Not a single day (at work) goes by without the mention of the acronym MSM. Lately, I have been thinking, if someone like me, authors an auto-biography what could it be possibly titled:

MSM 1980

The M's stand for 'My' and 'Memoirs' but 'S', a little unsure right now. It could be 'Sweet' or 'Sour' or 'SwOur'.
