random thoughts

Relationships are like laptop batteries. They

need recharging every so often. Sometimes,

when you draw on the relationship on times

of need, the relationship needs to be

recharged a lot, for a long time.

The best part is, again like a laptop battery,

is that if you look for the best deal, you will

probably end up never finding the ideal one

for you. And eventually, if you forget about

the battery for a while, and concentrate on

the other aspects of a laptop (meaning here

the other aspects of life, sans relationships),

you will end up with a laptop that has a

great battery too!

Seek, and you will find, says the Bible. I

sought not, and found what I could never

have searched for.

What is luck? Good fortune is often called as

a perhaps coincidental accumulation of

favourable odds on one side of an equation.

So how can a guy sometimes get so lucky?

Life was hell before, and is better than

heaven, as it seems now - What made the

difference? How did this chap get so luck?

I'll never know, but I look not a gift horse in

the mouth.

Speaking of horses, I was thinking about the

Roman legions. They have been called one of

the best organized fighting forces in recorded

history. But what of Sparta? I did see 300,

but I'd read of their feat a long time before

anyone ever thought of putting it to film.

What is that epitaph?


Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by,
that here obedient to their laws we lie.

To bite or not to bite is the question. What?

Bite the bullet. A lot of people talking about

marriage in the last few days. Great!

Wonderful! More parties for me!

I wonder, does Carlsberg need a poster-boy

for de-alcoholism? Hmmm, I've been told

today that I'm not bad at looks, even

potentially handsome. Heh. Heh.

Muahhaahaahaaahaa.

Women's Lib we say. Pro-depressed caste Reservation we clamour.

Pro-social-so-called-reform they demand. Assorted Bollocks, I declare.


Its the single Indian male in the middle class that needs the most

support from society. We alienate the very

segment that will form the basis of the

collectivised social empathic reservoir of the

future.



Put down unemployment! There are an

increasing number of very deserving jobless

who can not even get to the interview stage,

because they cannot fulfil the increasingly

ridiculous requirements imposed by the

growing population and pressure on

selections.



Earlier, heck, even till a few years ago, there

was usually a CHOICE in terms of careers. But

today your career is more or less decided on

what marks you get through high school, as

that determines the subjects, section,

teachers, etc that you are assigned in school,

which in turn affects how you get through

college, and how you get into professional

life. Which in turn affects how high you can

reach to, never once looking at what you might be good at, what you might be happy doing.


I want to play the guitar and read novels for a living.
