So far, So good

The recently-adopted strategy of "Forget the grand plan for now, just follow the signs" is working well. There is less stress about the big mission of life, etc. More fun with on-the-spot decisions and activities.

Read a nice quote in an email signature line recently: "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOOHOO,what a ride!""

The worst movie I have ever seen

Yosemite, Vegas and a fresh perspective

Yosemite National Park - had a great trip with pals. New places and old pals make a great combination! Yosemite impressed me with its seasonal offerings - something different in each season. We went in summer when it was quite hot, not much water, but a whole lot of scenery to soak in. It was tiring after the whole day at SFO airport and not much sleep during the trip, but tirings trips are always fun! :) I'll come back to Yosemite in Spring - when there's more water.

Vegas - 3rd time to Vegas. This time was GREAT! Old places and new pals also make a great combination! Hung out with new pals from ISB, and literally slept 4 hours a night, with tiredness becoming a part of life. Never had so much fun in Vegas before! Hit the nightclubs daily, roamed around, shopped with some great deals on offer, and had a blast!

A fresh perspective - Realized that I'm overthinking life, in general. This is the time to live it for the moment, day by day. Get the maximum out of it, give maximum to it. Stop thinking about the "Grand Plan" of life - if there is really such a thing. Anyways, it's living in the present for now, and enjoying every moment to the hilt!
Viva Las Vegas!

There's no such as knowing what I want to do

There's no such thing as knowing what I want to do for the rest of my life. There's no such thing.
I'm too dynamic for any one role or job or industry or company. I want to do what I like at that particular point in time. It will not fit into the overall scheme of things (if there's ever such a thing) or even to some "career-path", which is another term for a boring existence doing the same thing over and over again.
Looking for the next role/job/company/industry. Where is it?

Car aayee bahaar aayee

My pal told me - get a car, you'll get a great social life! I got a car - and suddenly the social life is happening too! In a strange way - there has been a rush of social activity, although the car is not even there on most occasions! But, it has helped to have a car and made the travel more fun at other times. Driving in Bombay though is more art, than science. I'm learning it the hard way. I'll be an artist soon!
