Blog 083 - Blah

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"


It has been a long time since I wrote something over here. The weather in Bangalore has become pleasant and hill station like; Chilly breeze and afternoon drizzles. My office terrace cafeteria on 11th floor is a wonderful place (if you leave aside the food.) overlooking the football stadium but still something is a miss and it will take a lot more than a blog post to figure out…

Chasing Numbers – An x percent hike, a magical y percent score in that damn expensive exam and a bull run with a z percent increase in those crazy scripts.

Numbers matter but it becomes a rather strange proposition when your entire life is defined by rise and fall of numbers. I always wanted to buy an aquarium of my first salary and three-and-a-half-years at work and I still haven’t been able to buy it but at the same time I end up spending an x amount bidding for a so-called profitable IPO which, in the end I didn’t get any allotment either.

And the DSLR keeps getting appended to my to-buy list.

And I end up picking money-management over happiness?

Crazy.

Bad Procrastination – There have been pictures to click, exams to be taken, blogs that should have been written and so many wonderful things that should have have been done (the softbox experiment is still incomplete...) and I managed to keep myself away from all of these.

The very reason I shifted to Bangalore was to move away from a comfortable life and here I am satisfied being comfortably numb or have I become happy with this mnc-corporation type of life?

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way…

Coelho, Erich Segal, Floyd and Photography – I admit this has been the saving grace. I wonder how empty life would have been without these.

Resolutions - December is here with her task to wrap up the year. I love making New Year resolutions and have been making resolutions right since my school days. For year 2007 I had written myself an entire document (maybe, I was missing pspl style documentation :P), objectives 2007. I know it sounds stupid and I did not end up doing most of the things. This year I plan to keep it short and post it as a prime numbered blog post.

I am already excited about 2008. I would be starting the year with a week long vacation to Pune. Azhar will be in Pune for a month long vacation. It has been so long since we last met and will be traveling to Mumbai to meet PG.

Will take the most expensive exam of my life in Feb. And the three figure score that I receive will clear up a lot of things and if not it will at least mark an end to my post graduate examination stints.

Phew! It is has been a long boring post and to end it with a Floyd phrase –


And everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
