............. sometimes i tell myself that i've been doing nothing offlate..... i've been a vegetable all the while.... no challenges being accepted..... no tasks taken on hand ..... where's life heading to? is that my conscious pricking me that lazing around is'nt the best thing in the world???... ... so freaked out sometimes life seems to be...... it's chaos once again.... a lotta tasks on hand be it personal professiona goal oriented or what ever..... nothing's happening...... i think need to catchup with my dudes ...i think i have to do something regarding some project i feel which needs to kick off...but am not doing any freakin thing man.... i think i am just wasting out in this dytopia called office... did i ever reckon that i still do have a life that needs to be rejuvenated?? that needs to be reventured into??..... oh man where's life heading too....
i guess that's enough for the time being.... i came back here after a long time with a different thought altogether... but the interruption of thought process...... feel so disgusted when u have soo many things on ur head and ur still not able to get to touch ne one of them either.....
........ i was thinking about the on going altercations regarding the reservation and the protests and demonstration by the young doctors..... i was thinking if this was a sincere approach or a mere affectation .... a mere ostentaion ....... but then i soon got to know that they had a motive behind their effort.... the display of the altruistic effort of these doctors are very much laudable...... there are atleast a hundred of them fasting .... for their rights to be exploited.....
the act of coming out of their classes and holding a protest against the act of reservation is truly commendable...
recently i was talking with my professors at the college about the same issue and also about the indians taking a risk to have their own start up and growing it into a vision... a lot of discrepencies cropped up during the conversation..... the typical middle class mentality and all other crap....
.......on the contrary my thought process again kicked off in a direction which has always amused me.... i was yet again thinking.... thinking of Ramesh Ramanathan of the Janaagraha... look at that man ... one evident display of altruism... i heard he left a well paying job back in unca sam's place and got back here to do something for the society.... too freakin commendable....
i was thinking y not most of us can make an effort like that..... get out of the typical mentality.... but is there a way??? one gets soo much involved in personal stuff that he or she doesnt want to ever get out of it.... one is always thinking of how he needs to grow in his company... what property he has to acquire... which school he has to send his kids .... is there a niche that we have carved that we can reckon with in the evenings of the life before hitting the sacks??? is it??
back of my mind that song from Roger Waters still keeps playing.....
All in all ur just ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL......
yet another confession of a chaotic mind
desculpe - for the trouble
will write back soon
Obrigado
Hasta La Victoria Siempre

You and ur thought process..
I did not know you write blogs too..quite a surprise...
Love the blog--good luck with it. For some powerful mental training tools, take a look at www.mindmint.com
Broken yet honest thought process.
The feeling of "not doing anything of late". Sit back and have 'a' relax. Doing something because you have this feeling is worse than doing nothing. In everything we do, we need to give some commitment, for 2 reasons.
1) It's a good idea and it's essential to make progress.
2) People often demand it.
Once you make commitments, it's a good idea to keep them, regardless of what you think of them. If not, repeated prisoner's dilemma can come and hit you badly.
Reservation...it's a disease we have bee living with for 6 decades now. It's one of the worst forms of social (in)justice I've come across. The problem is, to most of us, the opportunity cost of organizing and taking part in protests is high. So, we tend to put up with it. So the protests end up with the jobless whose opportunity cost is nothing! Yet, the effort of the doctors is commendable.
Indians starting up....Well, I've been into the process for a year now. And I've figured one thing. If you are planning to pitch for an investment of $500,000 you need to put in at least $50,000 to start with. If you don't put that in, progress will be at smail's pace. With no money and negligible progress, people management becomes a headache. We, as Indians, I don't think are any less entrepreneurial than any other race. Just that we don't tend to have the $50,000 needed to do the preliminary work toward raising $500,000. Our financial markets are not the size of Wall Street or Silicon Valley or London Square Mile. When there aint too much capital avilable, not too much changes hands either! That doesn't mean the solution is to emigrate to Nu York or London or the Valley. First of all it causes brain drain. Secondly, those who emigrate just manage to reside close to these places. What they give up in the process is freedom. And access to freedom precedes access to capital. Not many Jews in Nazi Germany were investors or entrepreneurs! But with the second wave of venture capital boom starting in India, a start up boom is a reality. (Sequoia has set up shop in India).
Watch this documentary movie called startup.com. It's fun and it's got amazing lessons.
