To-Do

Need to start working on the real "To Do" list which I feel each one of us should have for reference!

- A list which could remind us that we are here to do a little more than just work, more than mundane responsibilities. A list which I could use in case I am not able to fit in some stuff owing to lack of sufficient time. I can be ambitious after retiring too! So there...this is only the beginning though...there will most definitely be some add/delete/modify (phew..yeah stop reminding yourself you are an engineer).

Ok...here it rolls off (In no particular order - who would waste time thinking which sorting algorithm to use??)

1. Travel to Paris.
2. Meet Shah Rukh Khan in person :)
3. Live in Bangalore (at least for a short phase in my life)
4. Learn Salsa, Jazz and maybe Waltz.
5. Few places to visit in India - Delhi, Punjab and definitely Kashmir.
6. Read as many books as possible - would love to shift some focus on Indian economics (does that sound jarry to the ears :))
7. Make sure all kids get to go to schools - will have to gang up with more kind and benevolent people)

This is it for now...Will keep updating it. And looking for a name too for "The List".

Honk...Honk..Honk.. I sat up straight. Fear, anger and irritation, all running through my head at the same time. I was on my way to my sister's PG from Bangalore airport. I looked ahead, the streets were empty but the bus driver honked. I guess, that was out of habit :) Well that was my first reaction as I was arriving home. No, don't get me wrong. Don't count me among those Indians who cannot wait to crib about how everything is wrong in this country, but that was how I honestly felt. One year in the States can bring a few changes but more than anything your horizon of observations just widens! One thing that was more than welcome was the presence of fellow beings :) I guess one can barely feel lonely here. The noise, the peak hour traffic, the roadside quarrels, the loud laughs; I loved it all. By the way, I loved the year I spent in Milwaukee. It is a beautiful city and with a home in the downtown, it just adds to the pleasure :) Shopping got a whole new meaning there vi...

Movies...movies!

I have never been an avid movie watcher. But lately, I have begun enjoying watching good movies. Not sure how this happened...maybe the fact that I have been finding more time for myself in the weekends...Loads of friends around, but most of us end up doing something or other different and it’s nice to be on your own...make new friends and hey, watch movies!! I sure take looong to get to the point! Anyways, last weekend, I happened to see “Luck By Chance”. Farhan Akhtar and Konkana Sen Sharma duo was an attractive factor for me. I liked the way the script moved forward. An ambitious guy makes his way to the stardom with his talent and charm. I had an argument with a friend that there is nothing wrong in being ambitious and it just so happened that he could use people (read friends) and move still further. Others could not keep up with his pace! He said “Being ambitious does not mean cheating…period.” A good statement actually and well intentioned. Another movie for which there were no ...

Focus!

Focus..Focus..Focus So simple to say or hear, but really difficult to follow if you dont focus :) Time has proven to me that genious is nothing but prolonged focus on one simple thing by one simple fella. There are people with brilliant ideas and there are people who simply stick around and focus on completing a task. Very often, these are the people who go a long way in their career or life. WYSIWYG. I say WYFOIWYG. Yeah that is what is you focus on is what you get. You want to excel at work. Focus. You want to have a good and loving relationship, focus. You want to solve a problem, focus. But for heaven's sake not on problem but on solution. WYFOIWYG. Hope that's a nice thought for the day :)
