Hah.</title><content type="html">&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;It's amazing as to how a simple thing like TRAFFIC can snowball and change life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A lot of my close friends, not so close friends and other people I know live in Non Stop - Growing at the rate of fungus - Big Metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Just as these cities offer.. They have high paying jobs, Cars, some have houses.. some are renting and some have invested into buying one..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Lets take a closer look.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;They moved from Tier 2, Tier 3 towns to these big cities. They moved there for ambition, money, career, happening weekends or simply because they thought living in a bigger city is going to make them happier or keep them away from relatives or lead an independent life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A typical day in life of these people include - getting up early morn to get ready and move outta house by 8 / 8.30 am so they reach in time by 10 / 10.30 making their way through the endless traffic which makes a Snail look like a Michael Phelps in action. Slog Part 1 over. Slog part 2 starts with 10-11 hours of office work, in some cases even more. It's 9 pm in my watch, lets move back home. Yay! but wait. Slog part 1&amp;nbsp;recurs&amp;nbsp;and its gonna take another 1-2 hours to reach back home. 10.30 Pm. (recently a friend told me his timing to reach home sometimes was 12 pm, scared the wits outta me) - What does one really feel like doing after slogging for 15 hours, my guess is watch a lil television, eat take out food - SNOOZE.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Statistics -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;5 days of week = No time for family, No time for peace, No time to spend time with children, No time to call up friends, Din't know what a healthy meal looked like, Constant Stress &amp;amp; Irritation (Calculate the long term costs of all this)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;2 days a week (Weekends if I may be precise) = Simple Lazing around, Doing Nothing, Watch movies, Catch up with your housemate (family, spouse, friends), or a 2 day trip to try to&amp;nbsp;Rejuvenate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;40 days a year (which I deducted after use of profound algorithms) is purely wasted into being in Traffic. 40 ****ing days of 365!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;and please notice, that most of the people who give up spending 15 hours on their work, don't even enjoy it, they are just their because they have to earn and live.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Is this the pursuit of happiness? What does one get out of it - Does one realize the cost they are paying for a HIGH PAYING JOB in Big city? (Life)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;My hats off to people who live like this. It's really hard, I've been there and I din't really enjoy it much, because somewhere at the back of my mind I had a recurring flash, 'Important things in life are missing'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;What's the harm in earning a lil less, and living a&amp;nbsp;fulfilling&amp;nbsp;life? Isn't good living a day to day experience rather then that of waiting for those few holidays on mercy of our employers where we 'might' do what we always wanted to do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;News Flash : I love M&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;y City!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"&gt;Past few weeks, to be true.. past few years..&lt;br /&gt;
..have gone by, thinking about what I want to do in life. What would be my passion, what would be my motivation.. and blah blah blah. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"&gt;Last few days, Yes last few days..&lt;br /&gt;
I saw a very old man riding a bicycle, then I saw a couple having coffee, then I saw a person driving a Beamer, I met a woman who drove alone from Pune to Jaipur, I also talked to somebody who has already skydived 3 times, Met a man who has seen 40 countries and culture, I saw people working 16 hours a day for couple of thousand bucks, I witnessed millions worth deals being struck, I saw a couple with two kids taking their yearly off to goa, I saw their holiday pics, I watched 'Moment of Truth' on Star world, I saw F.R.I.E.N.D.S .. yet again, I saw people leaving their jobs, I saw them jobless for months, I saw a 6-7 year old kid on streets begging, I saw his mother pushing him towards car to do it, I spent all day at friends place watching crappy movies and eating Maggie, I saw people taking cabs to 5 star hotels, where I took an auto to a budget one, I also saw people partying late in night, People getting high and wasted, I saw pictures of people having a pool party, I sat through a meeting where people wanted to change the root cause of backward education, then I saw an old couple yapping over a cup of tea, I saw people sleepless over screwed work, I saw them getting back in action next day.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Last few days.. I Realised,&lt;br /&gt;
I want &lt;b&gt;Everything.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Its evident from everywhere that entrepreneurship is quite glorified and its hep to be an entrepreneur these days. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some reason though, Media and even common people who blog, only thinks that when people who come out from IIT/IIM and start their own ventures are the real heroes. Is it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Few things that come to my mind-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do know that they are not the lesser mortals in terms of IQ (with the hectic selection process they go through to get into one)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do know that they have the best networks in terms of contacts, coz all their batch mates get placed at crucial postions in big companies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do know that the IIM stamp get's them moolah flowing in quick. VC, Institutional Capital, Angel Investors.. all are just looking with a torch for some IIM guy to triple their money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do know that as soon as the IIM guy opens something, media flocks around to cover it. Coz OMG! he left his 1 crore job oppurtunity to sell vegetables. He's from IIM! Click Click Click!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, I am not further glorifying these guys, I am not degrading either. Have huge respect for them. After all they have also put years of hardwork to get into that institute and clear it.&lt;br /&gt;
Just trying to put across an overlooked fact that things are 200 times more easier for them as they are from THE institute, which pulls crowd. which makes things automatic for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Real heroes are the one, who have nothing coming towards them, they have to run after all. They loose their weight, their shoe's loose their sole, their hair strands choose to leave their head. They are the average people, ordinary people who walk past you everyday, but just dare to dream for themselves and choose the most difficult route.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This ordinary Joe is the one who deserves the Spot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its time media realizes where to focus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I just wanna thank the person who has written it (I wish I knew who did).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Dear X, I don't think I have came across feelings compiled so well into words for a long time now. And yes I do relate to it." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;BEING IN TWENTIES - SOMETHING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;It is when you stop  going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about  yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and  wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you  barely know where you are now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;You start realizing that people are  selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to  aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have  lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is  that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or  insincere, but that they are as confused as you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;You look at your job...  and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you  are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the  bottom and that scares you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see  what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly  you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly  adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you  are insecure and then the next, secure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;You laugh and cry with the  greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly,  change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but  soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is  nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;You get your heart  broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie  in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get  to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot  figure out why you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.  You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your  friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You  worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while  winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a  contender!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;What you may not realize is that every one reading this  relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as  hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;We call it the  "Quarter-life Crisis."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;FATE DETERMINES WHO COMES INTO OUR LIVES.....OUR  HEART DETERMINES WHO STAYS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19860914-8482648382521915574?l=mind-menace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Shamelessly I am one of them. Most are entangled in the web of Comfort, Status Quo and mainly Security. Rest plainly just don't know what they want.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luckily and accidentally I met one who is not ashamed to live her own life. The one she wants. Being an alumnus of AIESEC, I happened to meet this ex-intern (Swiss) who is now living in Jaipur to help a few ignored lot make a better future. Make India Shine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Couple of days back, I went to this pre-school run solely by her in a slum where its hard to find a decent place to breathe, let alone conduct a pre-school for very young unprivileged (only by money) kids. Thanks to Shashaank who I tagged along with. We were there for three hours amidst 30 kids, 3 teachers, 2 outsiders (me and shash) and Regulla Willi a.k.a Regi. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180254872358128562" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_42awazEDLTc/R-P2XDjki7I/AAAAAAAAABU/xTTiap08XpY/s320/Picture+043.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Class was divided into many parts from imparting general knowledge to dance music to crafts (being a Saturday). Some of the kids seemed awfully bright.&lt;br /&gt;
Adnan, this 3-4 year old child was a rockstar, setting stage alive with his dance moves.&lt;br /&gt;
Arjun, possibly the brightest one, not to mention most notorious, makes Sculptures for living.&lt;br /&gt;
Khushi, the sweetest takes care of her toddler brother thru the day being 4-5 years herself.&lt;br /&gt;
Shankar, 2-3 years old boy with two rabbit ears dressed in hip hop clothing and never standing still. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180255997639560130" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_42awazEDLTc/R-P3Yjjki8I/AAAAAAAAABc/0W2ak39Sjcw/s320/Picture+046.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Surprisingly, every kid there was known in out to Regi and every kid knew her. They liked her, they talked to her, and they wanted to play with her. Given, that communication was limited to very lil hindi and mostly gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At one point I couldn’t help but feel ashamed of myself being same blood and sitting like a goon whereas an outsider understood what my country really needs. At that point of time I wanted to stab every relative and friend I know who had gone abroad to earn money. It was guilt about fretting at nonsenses in life, when actual problems are the ones which I saw then.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People like Regi don’t go through all this. They do what their calling is. They are the ones who deserve page one on newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before being at that place, Shashaank had mentioned to me that he couldn’t stop smiling ear-to-ear while he was there the first time. Well, I couldn’t stop smiling either. The place does it for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just in case any of the sane heads out their anywhere in the world want to help out this lady (she got no sponsors, no government aids) carry on her cause, in anyway (volunteer, sponsor, in-cash, in-kind, teach) please drop in a mail to me at vandanamakhariaATgmailDOTcom, and I promise your contribution would all be worth every penny!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I could brag here about my FOREN trip; I could write about reasons for leaving job; I could write about getting up in the morning with having nothing to do; I could comment upon the infinite number of books read - movies seen; I could talk about inflation rate - effect of US policies on BRIC countries - Budget - Racism - elections; I have a thousand thoughts going through my mind I could talk about. All relevant. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
What I really wanna talk about is a thought, which keeps coming back almost every night in half sleep. A scene from my most favorite show, FRIENDS. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A woman impostering as Monica (Courtney Cox) is telling Monica, about the 2 hours that changed her entire life. She had gone to watch a movie and that turned around her life. Becoz she had wasted those 2 hours on the most boring movie.. 2 hours she knew that would never ever come back. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Since then no other moment of life could be wasted on unimportant things. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Wonder why it keeps coming back?&lt;br /&gt;
I wish for everyone alive to have this recurring thought. Possibly in half sleep. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19860914-3000172264496179449?l=mind-menace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Some times in life out of sheer boredom and laziness, you would one day find your mind crawling across the most absurdly non important worthless things which can only be made use of in a forwarded mail (the ones which see the trash before they see the inbox)..&lt;br /&gt;
As embarrassing as it feels, I have reached that pitiful stage today. So like I said… my mind also went cascading into the nonsense’s, which are currently driving my highly energetic, exuberant and enviable life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was channel surfing (ahem ahem) and stopped on an ekta kapoor accident (yes, those Kserrialss)… started thinking… how can a bloody letter denote the success of such huge empire (blunder). I wish the brain had immediately stopped functioning… and soon I had the stark realization..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
M.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes M.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My Life is stuck (driven) with M.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Me. Everything is Me, Me is everything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Materialism. Apna sapna Money Money Money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maid. She’s the one I see first thing in morning, she’s the one who I have to run after like I m in love with her or something, she is the one who leaves us every third day, she is the one me and my roommate discuss 4 and ½ of the 5 minutes we spend together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Malls. I would like to propose here that ‘weekends’ from now on should be re-named ‘mallends’. Cause the week these days seem to end at the mall. No matter how much I hate it, No matter how much I curse it, No matter how much I crib about it… on weekends I m found at Malls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mobile. Mere jeene ka sahara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MC BC. No surprises here, one thing every fresh outta college bloke has to live with is, MC BC. If you don’t say it, you have to hear it (every waking moment, and most importantly talli moments). The analogy is simple, MC BC is like cigarette, If you are not an active smoker, you are a passive one for sure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MBA. The ones who have done it would relate to my sentiments. ‘Ye sab karne ke liye humne MBA kiya tha!?!!’ Once you are an MBA, you perpetually live with ‘Mujhe Bahut Aata’ hai syndrome. Hard to let go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And last but never the least..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maiiii-ridgeeee. I have never felt so helpless on being born an Indian. Meri Maa Meri MAIIIRiDGEEE karwa kar hi Manegi! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;y: helloooo.. nothing much .. u say.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;x: Nothing much here either&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;x: same old stuff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;y: yeah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;x: whats new with u&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;y: I wish, Nothing interesting ya.. lifes boring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;y: what else&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;So thats how 90% of the conversations move around the world between frends. Thats how I talk to some of my closest frends. Thats how I see my life as.. thats how others see their life. Is it really that fuckin uninteresting, routine, mundane?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;So ...I was talking about how Television is not completely useless and the 'idiot box' it is perceived as. It taught me 'life's not that bad.. everyone has a story' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;(1) EVERY ONE HAS A STORY!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;(2) Programs we'd switch off at once arnt as bad as we think them to be.. Watch OPRAH!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;(3) People do the CRAZIEST things!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;(4) Take INTEREST.. Your life will become INTERESTING! .. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;(5) Your LIFE will become Interesting... TAKE Interest!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;.. there's a guy in California who was sick of his life. Absolutely mundane and boring.. no content.. no thrill.. no satisfaction.. no highs.. no lows.. only long days filled with 'nothing'. One day talking to someone he gets THE weird Idea (5).. he goes to a phone booth picks up the state directory and calls a random number (3)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;A guy picks up, Our guy tells him who he is.. So and so. On being asked to state reason for calling.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;he says :" &lt;b&gt;I want you to tell me story of your life&lt;/b&gt; " (4)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;Random guy says: &lt;b&gt;Are you out of you mind!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;he says: &lt;b&gt;No sir, I beleive you have a story of life and I want you to share it with me.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;random guy says: you are crazy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;he says: &lt;b&gt;you can say that, but I m sure you have a story of your life. please share it with me.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;random guy: &lt;b&gt;Listen dude, you look sensible .. thats why I am saying in the politest manner, I don have no story.. stop being crazy and dont waste my time. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;he says: &lt;b&gt;Please sir&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;random guy: &lt;b&gt;why would you be interested in my life, I have had none. I m not rich. It has been least interesting. No pomp and show. Not worth.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;he says: &lt;b&gt;thats what I thought about mine, untill I recalled my life and found out I have a great life story.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;So after lot of coaxing, random guy agrees.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;Findings: included childhood years at a ranch, raising an invalid sister, moving to city, Dull job, giving up dreams for fear and on and on.. (1)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;Put in order it could have easily been a Danielle steel (gender changed)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;Its a true story (2)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;Why I beleive in it so much? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;I met one such living story too, accidentally .. in a brief span of 5 min.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;me and my friend were travelling on a rickshaw and just like that asked the rickshawpuller where he was from.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;In the next 4 mins we found out about how to raise children (which incidentally lots of learned educated people still cant manage), about how he was a wanderer and had travelled around including countries like pakistan just to pursue his dream of knowing more and seeing more.. how to give up meaningless but so called important things in life to get those small things u always wanted, which made a difference to u.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;All this from the least wanted, least recognised, Poor to extent of living on streets 'rickshawpuller' &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"&gt;Think about yours, I m already working on mine :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I dont remember seeing more then one small coloum in a newspaper about the tsunami which happend 3 years back, I don't see any news on the day of when the London subway was blasted, I don't see so much Reminiscing about any other news as I have done about this. Not that what happened was small or easily forgetable but WHAT was it that is still so ALIVE?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Is it because it is like the single most devastating Terrorism act known in AMERICA by the outside world? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;or because world's way of functioning has changed considerably after this?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;or because it gave rise to World vs 'so called Islami Jehad'? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;If people wud say it is because of the Loss of Humanity and Loss of relations, families, mothers, fathers, children, teachers... I dont think I ll beleive it.. as only people who are still greiving for that reason are the ones who have lost. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;So what is it about?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19860914-2237969280064012703?l=mind-menace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Hope we are aware of the famous saying, all dreams that come early morning, come true. So people.. Its not that we are sloths, Just that we are determined to make our dreams come true!

Now please dont waste time taking a bath. You should always be on your toes, always in the get set go mode. So a simple Brushing wud be enough to get rid of all obstacles between u and the Food. Wait a minute though. Did you check if the cable is running or not, Food can be utterly distastefull without a remote. So you finish the food and now please please please .. Dont take the pains to put the plates back, Just relax on in a comfortable position in front of the Idiot box with ur legs on another chair.. spine bent enough to make u look dwarf.. and the life saver remote in hand. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;And then starts the hard part... Pressing buttons. Boy.. so much of work. Also so much of mental strain to concentrate on every channel within a time span of 3 seconds. God you must be exhausted! But shit.. ! I got two assignments to do. But dude, Smart thing here to do would be take some rest. Doubtful? Ill tell ya why.. Man, if u so exhausted mentally and physically isnt it ur moral duty to give ur body some rest, which would further help u do ur Assignment more efficiently. Also if u do it now, it wont be ur best work, best work requires relaxed muscles. So we see, Motive here is again not laziness, but Desire to Perform better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;So back to the cozy crumbled bed. U gotta rest well, So dont u dare get up before 6.30 PM. Now get up.. it would be insane to get to work directly.. You need to get into the groove.. So u get ur ass on the Chair and get online.. Check mails, Orkut, Chat, Play games, Orkut, Chat, Read news, Chat, Orkut, Check mails, Orkut, Chat, Chat, Check mails, Orkut.. ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Finally - DINNER TIME! 9 PM. So you dine with ur roomies, bitch about people, bitch about college, bitch about studies, Discuss current romances, Discuss the Dark future, Unemployment, Food, Movies. Now should be good time to get to work .. but hey! Can u afford to miss the new season of FRIENDS, Will and Grace, Caroline in the city, medical detectives.. NO! So we watch with all enthusiam. 12.30.. Now we will have to get to work.. Got submissions tomoro.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;BUT LET ME JUST POST THE INSIGHTFUL BLOG FIRST.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19860914-4919018128166738206?l=mind-menace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
