Therefore lift your drooping shoulders and strengthen your weak knees

Hebrews 12

Our Deepest Fear

Coach Ken Carter: What is your deepest fear

Timo Cruz:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do.
It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

from the movie : Coach Carter

well today I had no classes yet probably had a very busy day. In the morning had to go to the lab to fix a few things. Somehow having been left without a guide I find the whole onus on me slightly encouraging.Atleast its pushing me. May be I do have a bit of a drive. Well its not yet time to be to start jumping. Had to go around to find a guide. Met Dr. BB who politely refused me without giving much thought I believe. Have to talk to the HoD again. In the evening gave a big treat to my bacchas. That has simply screwed up my budget . Dont know how to manage now.

Yesterday had a big pleasant surprise coming my way. Got a call from IIM L. God has been a bit too kind to me. Dont know what He is upto.

Parting thoughts

Is it important to be different?
It is important to be yourself and you are different!!!

New Year Resolutions!!

Well apart from sending out ecards and email and smses and phonecalls for courtesy and propriety sake. New year times are as well meant for New Year Resolutions. Thats precisely what I have never done. And this new year be not different.May be it should be. I dont really remember what my new year resolutions were last time round.Infact I dont remember even a single new year resolution I've ever made. this time may be I'll engrave it on a stone and put on the top of my monitor. SO here they go

1.Pray more. Not for me but for others. I have enough. Infact praying is not(always) about asking. Its more of a conversation with God ( I believe in God). Actually there are two theories to it. All this came form nothing. Or Something or someone created it. Either can't be proved mathematicaly or scientifically in a conclusive manner. So I believe the latter because I feel I have met that person.

2. I'm not GONNA kill my time on the computer. ( this one seems the toughest)

3. I'm gonna blog regularly. ( this ones high on priority )

4. I will read more. But then read what. ( figure out that later)

5. philosophise less and work more. Gotta prove a few things on that count.

6. to do away with system-hung-kinda-problems my mind faces. Keep my mind more alert.

7. I'll start jogging from day after ( cos tomorrow by the look ofit seems too cold!!)

8. I wont sleep more that 6 hrs daily. okay 6.5. Fine damnit 7. Period

May be thats enough for this year. Probably i'll keep on adding to these this week. On second thoughts these aren't better than what a IInd grade kid's would be. But Oh I dont have to campare my self to anybody. This is good enough infact seems tough to do. But then when the going gets tough the tough get going.Yohoooooo!! . ( To myself: crap thought doesn't go with the situation. Never mind)

Parting thoughts

But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight!

My Sassy Girl

Well its been a good new year day. Spent the dawn with the family . dont know hows it going to be the next time round.Probably things wont change. Thats optimism!! But then I was never really a optimist because you are often optimistic about stuff which is highly improbable. I believein Realism as against "optimism" or "pessimism". Realism coupled with a very strong belief in miracles. Miracles do happen. Dont ya believe that? Trust me blindly on that. That's what that makes life worth living.

Saw "My Sassy Girl" ( korean film with english subtitles) today ( that broke a couple of new year resolutions ;o(). By joe its right up there with the best romantic comedies that I have ever seen. Its essentially a story about a dumbass engineering student who falls into a strange relationship with a girl who has lost her boy friend. And how they ride along with there highs and lows. though this does look like another teeny romantic movie . But its high on sheer entertainment value with lots of surprises and some beautifl dialogues. Its how the relationship moves forward that intrigues you and holds you on ( apart from Jun Ji-hyun). I find her drop dead gorgeous and many wont disagree (I have a weakness or two for Koreans( females obviously!!).
Jun ( strangely she doesn't have a name in the film ) loves her dead boyfriend. And the only reason she couldn't get started all over again with this new guy is that she still loved HIM. How can you love a dead person. You can but would ya put your life on hold because somebody you loved left you. That sounds scary. I'll stop it at that.

parting thoughts!!

I love you papa mama
