The struggle within

I sometimes think of titles to my blog, without a true reflection of my state of mind, and then start writing abt it, I prefer it that way since it puts no obligations on what and how muhc to write.
I guess it improves the flow and the fluency as well.
More often than not, its a manifestation of the sub-conscious , which is eager to express itself.

I am still to read Hitler's Mein Kampf, which approx translates to 'My Struggle'.
For some occult reason, I don't like to buy books, I wud rather prefer a library which has tons of books that one can borrow, without the onus to maintain them in cupboards ans treasure them for a lifetime....Probably just an iota of the kind of person I think I am, who doesn't want to carry the past baggage around...

My internal struggle is happening incessantly for the past few months, and its all the more difficult to decipher the root cause. Its more like an assorted bunch of niggles that cricketers live with and then sound lacking cent percent fitness.
Its probably got to do with the nature of mankind, to always want welcome change in life. Sometimes, it helps, since we all know that a rolling stone gathereth no moss. Of course, the roller ocaster ride and the ultimate destination are also equally important !

Ramdev Maharaj is doing some fabulous work with his pranayam discourses and truly contributing to a stronger India, by helping ppl get rid of their woes. I admire him quite a lot. And he seems to have that charisma that glues me to his lectures and demos, whenever I see him on TV.

India are beginning another uneventful tour and I guess its no brainer that an India-NZ match is on cards with India scrapping thru to the finals and then losing to NZ. The only way Indian team can surprise its fans is negatively, by failing to qualify for the finals !!! Don't mistake this for pessemism, its more of realism ....

TODAY

Today is a friday, and I am abt to rush home for a nice long weekend.
It has been quite hectic at work , after a long time, and I seem to be enjoying it.
Hoping to contribute some good stuff in the release this time...though that means less time for exercise. Need to watch the weighing scale more closely.

Ajit was at my place yesterday and we chatted for a couple of hours, remembering nostalgic moments and discussing future plans. It was fun in general.
MSN audio has proved to be an excellent voice over IP technology and I am using it regularly to talk to my bro sitting 9 and 1/2 hours behind me.
My parents coming to Pune meant some upbeatness in my mood and good home food , that they brought along :-)

Monday is our holiday and may our country make great strides of progress.
Jai Hind !!

A long week ahead

Its yet another Monday evening, and life is at its monotonous best !
My brother has left for his MS and that leaves me all alone at home for the rest of the week.
I gotta get used to this pretty soon.

While Abhi has left for US for doing Master's, I got my degree this weekend and so I have finally completed graduation...It feels good and gives a sense of personal satisfaction...

Yesterday's Ashes test was simply a beauty and has setup the tone for the next 3 matches.
India, as usual have scrapped thru the finals and will manage nothing more than a drubbing at the hands of Sri Lanka in the finals tomorrow. Its almost habitual for our team to build up false expectations and bring ppl down from cloud no 9 bang on the earth in a jiffy !
But as u might guess, I wud still religiously follow the match till the debacle sounds irreversible.

At work, I am having to look into and work on some networking issues, so I hope it helps add to my domain knowledge there. Let's see !!
