Little talks

Height of weakness – With all the education, power and wealth, you cannot predict with certainty the next moment.

Best way to overcome this weakness – Share and laugh this with someone!!!

Hahaha … you simply like some moments. All tired up, I entered my room on a Friday night to concentrate on my submissions but my brain just didn’t work. It just failed. So, I took the best medicine I know for such situations – watch a good hindi movie. I searched for a good one and luckily found an unseen interesting movie “Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (2003)” (How can I miss this one?). It just took me to different plane of thoughts. With them overloaded in my brain, I walked down to exhale some good air.

Now I have a good friend who I normally meet downstairs. Our security guard. My little chit-chat partner during my frequent trips downstairs. The lady laughs a lot and it is sometimes weird. But I really like her jovial nature. She exhales too and many a times accompanies me. Usually we talk about weather and she keeps me giving little information about the neighborhood. The other day, she really sounded like an aunt (and she maybe of around that age) to take Vitamin C from getting sick during cold weather.

So, as usual we started off as usual and then I mentioned that how tired I was feeling and was bored of studying. She casually replied “Remember!!! It is not going to last forever and you doing for your own good.” I got really engaged and it just came out of my mouth “You know I feel increasingly powerless, the more I study”. Seeing all the anxiety of my face, she calmly replied “I know what you are talking about. You are no better than me. When, I read the newspaper, I am confused what will happen next day. You are confused about the next year which doesn’t mean you know about tomorrow”. “Exactly” was all I could mange with between our hearty laugh…

ING New York City Marathon - Who Won?

26.2 !!! This figure does not ring bells in most ears. Yet, for long distance runners this number in miles is pride. Whether it is amateurs aspiring to complete their first one or professionals fighting over the last minute, marathon events are occasions when dreams become reality. And one such event is The ING New York City Marathon. Here today, around 38 thousand people ran to meet their aspiration. In my opinion, it was good day to run - no rain, no wind and good temperature. I was lucky enough to volunteer at the Medal distribution counter. Although I and my friend, as usual late, were at the right time to perform our duties. As we got ready, we received the first of the disabled category marathoners. They were the ones who stole my heart away. I could not just stop my incessant cheering at their achievement despite whatever disability. Around 12 to 12:30 PM, there was a loud uproar in the crowd. Our winners were arriving. Jelena Prokopcuka (2:25:05) repeated her performance at NYC

My Trip To Uttaranchal - Day 1

Image
Day1: Jim Corbett Park Ranikhet Exp (with pathetic sleeper class coaches) reached Ramnagar at around 6 in the morning. The expensive resort booked had exotic setting but was overpriced. As tariffs included meals, we were inspired to gobble up everything possible. By the end of the day, we ourselves were amazed on our capacity to consume. The 8 km drive to the Corbett Park was the coolest event of the day. The open Gypsy with the cool breeze was beating the merc scene of Goa trip in “Dil Chahta Hai”. I went a little far by imagining myself as a warlord who was visiting his territory. This park is known for tigers. But to spot one out of 140 counted dudes is real hard. The striking feature was the expanse and the undisturbed natural habitat. Spread across 1822 sq. km, it is a world away from bustling sounds of human settlement – it was quiet filled with sweet humming of n species of birds. Besides appreciating this serenity, we were trying to improve our “checking out” skills (please ref

My blood group is AB – Who I am?

Browsing through the newspaper, I found an interesting article stating that folks in Japan and Korea believe that there exists a high correlation between blood group and human qualities. For example, people of O type are leaders, A type are strict disciplinarians. First question which stuck me (it maybe due to my limited knowledge in biology) – If there are only four blood groups as I know, is it really possible? But this question was not the culprit. What irritated and frustrated me was the fact that even after reading the fine prints, I couldn’t find the qualities associated with AB type (btw, I hope now you know my blood group). But after this storm, the calm left a BIG question mark. Why was even I searching for it? And though I admit I am a confused person in the world of self-confessed know-alls, never did a single thought created 2 opposite trains of thought. First Train: Do you believe you are unique? I always take pride when people call me different. And yet, here I was searc
