I-touch

My first gadget craze :P

got an i-touch! Unlike me, the material conservative. It has really cool features. Will put everything in its genre to absolute shame. Has a really sleek body, a metallic + steel finish. Wifi enabled which means i can access u-tube, mail, news, weather, browse etc etc.... Next on line is HTC with android once it is launched in India. Hopefully by then 3G will be up and running in India.

news from this side :)

I have lots of things to say here in this post :). So much so don't know where to start. Life goes in cycles much like a lot of other things. Sometimes, there is a recession as well. But for most part, it is a happy journey. And why not. The power and will to be happy is entirely in our hands. Sometimes, everything seems to work right, at other times it just feels like nothing right can happen.

Whatever happens, I have come realize, it is important to stay put with the task at hand. Fire and ice. The burning desire to achieve your goal and the ability to do it in a calm and composed manner. That forms the core of my motto as of now. will. the strength and courage to do what it takes to get there. perseverance. To go on trying without feeling lost.

Updates. Lots of it!! I have moved to a new place. It is compact, more like a hostel room. I like it here for now. It has a neat little sit out with a good evening breeze blowing. Next, I have got a bike!!! yea, well only a guy can understand this excitement. A conscious decision to conserve cash on auto, after a year of getting ripped off. Then, I have joined violin class. This was a long pending action but finally it has taken off. So far it has been good. Have to see where it goes!

Hopefully if I dont flunk in the D/L test for 2/4 wheeler, that should be another achievement as well :). Lets see how things go from here on....

Philosophically Random !!

Well, a bit philosophical, random and arbit at the same time :)

with each day arrives, a chance to rise and shine,
from ashes reborn, to illuminate the family line,
blessed are those who tread the path divine,
and humble are they who hold high, the sacred sign

obeisance to thee vAyu, the wind that steadily blows,
praise to thee Agni, the fire that brightly glows,
salutation to thee varuna, the waters that rhythmically flows,
adoration to thee, Atman, the immortal which rarely shows

the first being manifested all this by self sacrifice,
whence from man came into the world with virtue and vice,
immortality was promised to the self which defies,
purpose of the works was understood by the wise,
all of which resulted in the breaking of worldly ties

from then on was the path of all taken alone,
to each one, the light from the heaven shone,
while the journey was forever unknown,
there was always a marker and treadstone,
guiding the lost to one's self image own
