Words that Inspire!

"There are indeed many things in this world that can't be changed no matter how hard you try. That's why you can't hesitate when the time comes when you have to give it all you have got."


P.S: A quote from 'Ouran High School Host Club'!

Stay hungry and Stay foolish......

The other day I was watching Steve Jobs commencement speech at Stanford which got so famous. He concludes his speech saying 'stay hungry, stay foolish'!
Frankly I don't get what it's supposed to mean.....I am sure(well almost sure) that he didn't mean the words literally.......but if he did, then I should say I am doing a pretty good job.

I am a foodie. I am of the 'Live to eat' type!
Back in India I used to eat out a lot like a pig.The awesome chicken chat sandwich from Salt and Pepper, the delicious biryani from HB!!0_0
But here, you don't get that good Indian food and I am not that rich to afford to go to restaurants that often.You need to cook for yourselves here and even though I liked cooking as a hobby it becomes less fun when its a requirement.Anyways, have you ever seen an anime? Well most of the anime has this particular way of showing that a character is hungry......the character's stomach growls very loud! Well after coming here, believe me it happens to me almost everytime! I stay hungry a lot! :(

See that's why I say that I am doing the job of 'stay hungry and stay foolish' very well.
Oh, if you are wondering about the staying foolish part....I am a fool by birth! :P

I am so pissed off!

I am so pissed off......really pissed off....really really pissed off........ with myself!!!
This is the infinite'th time that I have screwed up my work!
Each time I keep saying to myself that 'I won't let it happen next time', only to let it happen again.
Screw me and my procrastination!

Read somewhere that telling people what you want to do might help you do those things. The logic is that you would do the work at least to not let people think that 'you are all talk but no action!'

So, here I am, openly sulking and I am saying this again 'Will not let it happen next time!'

Hoping that the theory works...........I am fed up with letting myself down! :sulk: :mad: :frustrated:

I like the feeling you get when you are about to sneeze!

Is there anyone out there who likes it too? :P

Was it this way..........

Have you ever wondered seeing or observing a thing that is familiar to you and say 'has this been this way all the time?'
This happens to me, of course not very often,I could say almost rarely. But when it does, it really fills me with awe! Even though some things have been the way they are since you can remember, suddenly they appear to you in a total different way. This happens with real tangible objects and abstract things too. There is this almar that my mom uses. Its been in our house ever since I can remember. Given that fact I have seen it all the time. And suddenly one day I look at the handle of its door and I was 'was it this way all the time?' I started to wonder and look at it as if it were something mysterious from another world. The feeling though short lived was very enjoyable.

Coming to the other side of this thing, it sometimes happens with my life! :P
I mean, like when I first started to live away from my home in a hostel for my undergrad, even after it has had been a sem since I went there...suddenly when I woke up from my sleep one day, I had this feeling come to me...'Oh! I am staying in a hostel now, far away from home! Its only in my holidays that I get to be with my family!' The whole thing seemed so strange to me. I mean to the fact that my parents were someone whom I could see only in my holidays, or rather the fact that I am growing apart from them...I don't mean that in a bad way.....I could rather say that the fact that I was growing up (to become a total individual?) seemed so.......what? surreal I can say I guess!
This feeling as much as filled with awe, it had a tiny bit of melancholy to it too! Cause even if its common and natural, it still was a fact that I was growing apart from my family. Its an ambivalent feeling. Sometimes it makes me sad how a family grows apart. I mean like when I think of my father and his brother, how they must have been together when they were young like me and my bro now, and how they are now each with their own families, it makes me sad. I don't mean to say that the relations between my father and his brother are not good, but my point is how their lives have pretty much grown apart. The thought that this might happen to me and my bro makes me sad!

Anyways, now that there has been another major change in my life, I mean coming to the US for my masters, I suddenly had this feeling again. This time even with a tad more sadness cause it would be at least an year before I see my parents and bro. Of course even in India there was this one time when I didn't see them for an year, but the distance somehow adds the extra sadness.
Like I said this feeling is usually short lived. But it does makes me think of things like these!

Its like even though I know and realize change is inevitable, there is somepart of me that doesn't want to change!
I guess there is this somepart in everyone!
