No Names

I have been listening to stories since I first came into this world. Some I understood, some I didn't. Some which weren't supposed to be listened too.

Anyway, as I got old enough to tell stories, I've been telling stories. Stories that involve fairies for start, batman next, superman after that. As I realized those were cartoons, I started telling stories of people who lived around me. Some fascinating stories, some evil deeds and lot more. Reality is really amazing than fiction.

But, I realized it very late ( in college ) that I was doing it wrong. B'coz I was telling the names. I mean the real names of people involved in them. All those fairies, batman and all other hell kind of stories too had names, but they were not real.

The whole point is, it's good to not use names when you are telling any incident to your friends. The person involved may not be around. Still if you give out the name, it might hurt him/her sooner or later. I've seen this, we usually talk more about skepticism and not the good things someone did.

You could always choose to tell story like one of my friend did this while he/she was with someone @ someplace. Give a broader thing to stumble people to. So, that they are more focused on the story not the identity of the person.

So, that's the reason my friends, I've been not telling you any names lately.

2011 would be an year of change

well Heraclitus said
"everything flows, nothing stands still.
nothing endures but change."

but people don't really accept a change instantly. they oppose, reject the idea.
I maybe not sure about this, but I haven't changed a lot.
for one thing, my weight is still constant ;) and another my b-Rain still thinks the same about some individuals and things.
as recently pointed out by friend, I've not changed my attitude even.

so, I'm marking/making year 2011 as the year, I would do a lot of changes in myself.
I'm not sure about what all I would do, but I figured out some points.
I would
1. start being formal.
2. start considering tax saving plans.
3. start staying away from facebook.
4. have a life insurance policy.
5. start sleeping before 11 PM.
6. stop sleeping for 14 hours on weekends.
7. stop staring.
8. stop forgiving people.
9. start listening to non-loud tracks.

maybe the list would also change during the year. but I'll try to do my best.

wish you all a happy changeful new year 2011 !

2010 gone or what?

Hey,

Julian Assange arrested! Well, I like that guy and his work wikileaks.

iPhone 4 had flaws :( Good year for Android and Microsoft. Share market still doesn't bother me. Al-Jazeera english got license to broadcast in India. Now I wonder, how did my cable operator used to provide me with that.

Is 2010 already gone? If not yet, let me recall all the great and ugly things that happened (not necessarily with me)
I'll start with bad things first ;)

I left my 1st company. I know it won't look like a bad thing but I miss it sometimes. Not the company, but company of amazing friends (naah, I won't call them colleagues).

I didn't gain any weight. Unbelievable, but it's true.

I lost a recently found friend. I don't know why but I lost her. (she's still alive, just lost contact).


thinking............ bad stuff???????? nothing more for the list.

Now the good stuff.

I got my Engineering degree. ;)

I started cooking. Yeah, forced by useless maids, I had to cook my own food. Initially with online help on phone, now I can cook on my own. And it's edible, somewhat tasty.

I moved to Pune. It's a good thing, right?

I met old friends this year, one really after a long time. And felt amazing. Hope to meet more good old friends in 2011.

Well, that's all for now. Some pretty big things/decisions to make in 2011. New year resolutions in next post. But before that, time to party :)

p.s. : i'm not getting married in 2011. ;) i still love you.
