New Year Resolutions..

I would not put goals coz it'll put untoward pressure on my already pity life.. shall make a note of my resolutions.. the longer I'm with resolutions, the closer I'm to my goals.. :)

1. WORKING OUT - regular abs n neck exercises, just to keep myself fit..
2. STUDY - at least 2 hours in the evening till June first week..
3. NO to CHATTING - it directly impacts my earlier two resolutions.. so now never faltu time-pass on net..
4. READ, read n read - good articles, magazines, reports, novels..in short everything worth reading n available.. knowledge is the key in this competitive world
5. Trading n INVESTING DISCIPLINE - preferably invest, if trading then only under veritable strategy.. get a better broker..

Other important thing.. on the path to a happier life.. I would try to be kind n gentle n won't envy or be jealous of any1.. even to those people who have hurt me the most.. this is not only for 2011 but for entire life..
Though honing up my DRIVING skills is not part of resolutions but its a focus area during first couple of months..

Welcome 2011

The dawn of a new year.. 2011.. Welcoming a new beginning with many hopes, aspirations and a few goals.. :)
After going through tremendous pain in 2010 especially during last 3-4 months, I do not want to look back n even think about it..2011 brings hope that things will change for the better..

The last day of 2010.. 31st.. being my birth-day.. I tried to make a balance between many tasks which I had planned of.. why don't I manage time so well on all other days..
Some incidents made me happily surprised which 'd been rare after my last result.. Cake-cutting at midnight.. our small party at Viru's place n birthday celebrations there..
Didi n Jiju are always the first to wish me at sharp 12.. so sweet of them..this time Bhabhi really surprised me..well-executed plan along with mom..:)
In the evening.. wasn't I looking dapper n dashing in that new formal dress.. umm.. I was feeling good n that what matters.. ;)
I've never been to a new year party at pub/discs yet.. don't know whether I would ever like to go there.. may b cos its too crowded to comfort on new-year eve n I do not drink..
but haan.. last night party at Viru's place was fun.. good music.. stag dances.. ;) n monopoly.. uff.. I was first to go bankrupt despite leading the game in the beginning..

The other important part of new year.. Resolutions n Goals.. next post 'll have them..

for a happy life..

A really nice article -

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/spirituality/holistic-living/Are-you-living-a-good-life/articleshow/7126826.cms

let me check where I stand vis-a-vis this article -

learning a skill - need to hone up driving skills

tension / good night sleep - must sleep by 1 max on weekdays.. no excuses

work on yourself - don't I ;)

setting a goal - in near future CFA n trading discipline, what about the independent deal ?

don't retire from life - I would never if physically capable

dancing n singing - though bad singer, but dancing .. need a partner.. :)

compassion, passion - sounds feminine

accept bad / unwanted events - 've already accepted what destiny played with me this year.. i should interpret those omens earlier

2010 - looking back

I want this year to pass as quickly as it can.. I'd never gone through so much pain n sorrow earlier.. may b its giving me strengths for years to come.. preparing me for the hardships of life

b it personally or professionally.. it had been the worst year .. leave apart a silver lining which made 2010 worth remembering but is the professional setback only reason i want to forget this year? No .. may b I m hurt because of my stupid feelings, the emotions turmoil i have gone through.. don't know whether I will recoup again..

the year was lost in transition..may b thats why it was a bit painful.. from zenith to nadir of my career .. just in 3 years.. from here it can go only one way.. up n up.. I've mellowed down.. came to the ground from the heavenly dream n inflated ego..

Starting again

Starting again - an old blog.. i wud write it as a diary...

while writing I'll go with the flow n thoughts in my mind without thinking of being politically professionally grammatically or whatsoever correct

a month in unexplored planet

life in the planet-i seems to be interesting.. but one thing I'll ve to improve upon is my time management. I still keep on wasting lot of time and cannt devote quality time to go through business articles and even m still not able to break my outer shell and see this plant the real I.

whatever.. the change in life is worth living for.. the batchmates are real good. just little more than hundred people but they represent whole of India.. in every sense..

Dated - 1st June 2006 : m I a careless nerd..?? Yess.. I was not on my blog for almost a year.. and stupidly I've written above two paragraphs on 7th of August but didn't publish.. now I forgot why... but anyway.. now onwards I wud be more regular in writing blogs and wud never leave anyone incomplete. About next blog, well.. may b about consulting errr..summer experience..:)

life is strange...

my experiments with life during last 6 months has been memorable... I experienced dark as well as bright shades of life.. I knew that we all r pawns of our destiny and we can never control our fate..

it all helped me in strengthening my believe on the essence of Bhagwatgita.. be a KarmaYogi. I would like to rewind the major events since last November. Right from Dad's clinical diagnostics to my only IIM convert, event unfloded in the way destiny had planned for us. whether it was CAT night and disaster or sis's new job, the happniness and more of gloominess (kabhi khushi jyada gham) kept testing our liveliness. I knew..life is strange and unpredicatable but indeed much more precious..

although many tasks of import are yet to be completed, but all will be done at appropriate time. On the work front, some unfortunate incidents shattered us but we sailed through tough time with aplomb. special congratulation to the team lead.. he led me to an award as well.. :)

Now, something where I should improve upon in order to be a KarmaYogi e.g. my effciency at work and my bad habits.. I'll ve to meliorate.. the soon the better..

me, myself n CAT

at the moment life seems to be meaningless unless I crack this CAT but why I think that way..?? there is life beyond CAT n IIMs.. (A)

for the last 4 years .. m aiming to bag this Cat but it has always slipped. m I good enough for it.. lets put it more clearly.. 4 years n 3 serious attempts n what happened those 3 times.. in 1st my admit got was lost.. in 2nd this cat got cancelled n by the time I wrote the Re-Cat.. I changed job and got involved in some stupid stuffs..n 3rd one is the CAT 2004..

4.., I always thought.., is my lucky no.. but is it..? the year was 4 and even it was 4th attempt..but whats the result..?? 99.11 and one call from Indore.. heck.. m angry, dissappointed and broken.. ohh god ..why it happened with me..?? m not that bad in verbal.. even being the unluckiest dnt I deserve 90 percentile..

had papa's illness put some distraction on my preperation..? n why I couldnt sleep on CAT night? papa was diagnosed with that problem.. but why during CAT..?? there r manyth which I wud like to ask from the almighty.. 3 time unlucky.. seems like m not destined to get into IIMs.. I knw.. there are many other unlucky people who were more deserving than me..but m being in this group 3 times.. seems like m some lesser children of the god..

at the moment.. may b m not destined for IIMs (A).. but think... is it a omen for some better things or its my destiny?? I guess I'll ve this answer soon...

my first posting..

its 7:33 pm on 29th June '04..

've just now created my own space here..still doubtful about the utility of this site for me..coz was never regular in my life as far as writing diary is concerned..but anyway life is all about keep trying..

m wondering.. why m using two or more dots all d timen.. :) may b coz m more into casual reading n chatting and less in serious literature and talks.. seems like another area where I shud improve upon..
