Notes to Myself 2

Dude, you definitely need to stop ranting to B-boy and hogging all his time. 
Man finally has a life and a wife (to be) and all. 
Let him talk to her in peace.


--------------------


Cops in Chennai are actually decent people after you pay them their due.
And they are now using a hand held device for collecting fines and giving out receipts that I saw from close quarters. Its a pretty neat device. And they are using docomo sim to connect to the server thru gprs.

It feels good to be booked finally. 


------------------------


Doubts doubts, setbacks setbacks. 


Ha.
Inspite of being a non believer, I keep thinking there are things like good time and bad time and i am surely going thru a super rotten time! 

Apart from personal ones, work seems to be suffering setbacks as well. 


Keep fingers crossed and wish me luck, please?


Sigh. 
Wake me up when September (and October) ends.


-----------------------


All you need is love.
Love is all you need. 
Love is all you need.




I get by with a li'l help from my friends...




Yesterday...




Across the Universe.




Some of the Beatles numbers that came into my head today at various points.

Dude, get back on Shelfari. 

I am reading a lot these days. 
Need to keep track. 


------------------------


Bala's place. Every time I go there, it feels like I am going back home.

Maids - Jean Genet. Wow. Such a fantastic script. I am sure it's gonna be an awesome play too. And as usual, very few people will come see it. And even fewer would get it. 


It's amazing though. the man never gives up.

And when i put the whole speech that my prof gave me in his context, it makes so much sense. My prof explained this to me in very simple terms.

There are three things to life - paNam, paer, pugazh. (Money, Name & Fame)


And the guy genuinely interested in what he is doing is not after PaNam or Pugazh. He is only after establishing a name for himself in the field he is working in. He is only looking to get recognized as someone who is good at what he is doing. He isn't bothered too much about the other two. They may come, they may not. But let that not bother you. Make sure you work so hard and so well that you will get recognized.


And he added, make sure you are doing something that you really like. It can happen in two ways. one, you let your heart lead your head, ie, you like something a lot (writing, music, arts, theatre, gossip etc) and you figure out with your head how to go about pursuing a career in your field of liking.
two, You let your head lead your heart - you know that you are good at something (math,accounts,research,arts, writing, digging holes in the ground, etc) and your brain tells you that it makes logical sense to follow a career in that field because you can make some name and money in it, and then you convince your heart to like it. 



The catch here is to find that thing that you really like doing.
Otherwise it really doesn't matter. 



Oh and getting back into the context,the man has never been deterred by lack of money or fame. He just loves doing what he does and he pursues it day and night, week after week, month after month. 
Very Inspiring.

But what about lazy bums like me who like to watch life as it goes by? :)
