Adiós

Off to a new life. Don't have much left in me that I can carry with me to it.

Except the very, very deep void inside me right now.

Is that something? I don't know. Is that good? I don't know.

I'm just staring into the all-encompassing darkness and waiting for it to start staring back at me. Or do something. Anything. Somehow I'm getting the feeling it's going to be a long, long wait. And, it's getting cold...very cold...

Thanks for being around. Hope you enjoyed the show.

Goodbye, and Good Luck.

Questions

2003
"I always thought you were more into Computers; why are you going for a degree in Electrical Engineering?"

2008
"I thought you loved Microelectronics. And Music. Why did you pick up a oil-field-job at Halliburton, then? And, why are you ditching that in spite of all the money and going for an MBA instead?"

2010
"I always thought you were a Marketing guy. How the hell did you land up with an I-Banking job?"

And secondly...

...don't let anyone - ever - make you feel like you don't deserve what you want.

Go for it!

Coming back to life

Ok.

First up, no more denial. I am in a big soup right now. The recent past had not been so kind on me. And nobody but me is to blame (well, almost).

But, I know who I am, and I know what I can do.

And going to come out of it. Rest assured.

Second - f*ck drinking, f*ck smoking, f*ck this urge to get high for no reasons whatsoever. I can safely say now, after having treaded almost every nook and corner of that road, that there is nothing cool about wasting your life. Achievements, Music give me much better highs.

Corporate Morals

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

The Moral(s) of the story you knew:
1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

The Moral(s) you could've figured out but couldn't:
1) Why bother to fly south? Just ask a cow to come and shit over you (and stay quiet) and
2) Ask it to do that in a rich locality. Rich cats won't dig shit for food. (then you can sing as well)
3) When in deep shit, make sure you don't take a 'deep breath' before trying to come up with a plan.

Happy Diwali, everyone.
