New Year!

Yet another year has come and gone. All these passing years just mean that I am getting older! That is not something I really appreciate! :-D When I was a kid, I always wished there was some sort of time machine. I just wanted to be a really small child away from the school, but old enough to remember everything. As I grew older, the desire for time machine really came on strongly. Mainly because I wanted to correct the stupid things I did like not studying for certain exams or to stop myself from saying/doing some idiotic stuff.

Later on, I became bolder and had a new optimistic outlook. Whatever deep shit I drag myself into, I will be able to escape. May be its that belief that got me out of a lot of nose deep in crap situations. The desire for time machine has not entirely vanished, but lets say when I think about it, it makes me think a lot. The impact of such a thing on the entire world. The impact on the lives of billions of people, animals, plants, and the like! A banquet for my ever thinking brain. :-D

What did last year give me? A few successes, some disappointments, some heartache...Well, this is life!

What are the expectations this year? A lot of ambitious stuff I must say. One of them is learning a new language. I am still confused whether to learn Chinese or Japanese! Jap means understanding the Kurasawa movies and Studio Ghibli movies I have natively. Also the hentai movies I sort of have a liking ;-) (If you don't know Hentai, do a search in Wikipedia!) Chinese means...well kungfu movies!

Several other ideas as well. Hope they all lead to fruition!

Heres wishing a happy and prosperous 2008 for you and me. :-)

The End...

This is the final post in this blog. Nearly five years ago, I started this blog from an Internet Cafe. 5 years on, the blog has probably chronicled my state of being. The triumphs, losses, disappointments et al. All this while, I have been experimenting with lot of things and even tried to switch the blog multiple times. This time the switch is for real. I want a fresh start without the baggage. You could even say I am a little inspired by Up in the Air. I don't really have an ETA for a new blog. I could start posting today, tomorrow, or never. Go to: Idle thoughts and update your references. See you out there! Signing off with these words from Jim Morrison: This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes...again Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need...of some...stranger's...

Ancient Thrills

Ancient civilization. Dig. Gun. Artifact. Conspiracy. Esoterica. Professor. Prospective authors please note, you will get atleast one buyer for your book if these key words are there on your book cover. It would also help if you get someone to give comments like "Stunning!", "Tour De Force!" etc. I am such a sucker! My book collection has grown because of a few books I bought specifically due to these keywords. A small list which could well be incomplete: The Temple by Mathew Reilly Cover of Temple Peru. Inca. Idol. Guns. Pretty decent. Good read on a lonely day. Seven Ancient Wonders by Mathew Reilly Decent book. Lots of traps and thrills. Moments like the discovery of the Hanging Gardens are really good. Six Sacred Stones by Mathew Reilly Sequel to the above book. Same old stuff. The ending is a cliff hanger though. The Last Testament by Sam Bourne Cover of The Last Testament Palestine. Israel. Biblical artifact. Middle east solution. Peace talks. Okay okay book. ...
Should know when to keep my foul mouth shut and not pass snarky comments. Feels like shit. "You despicable idiot!", screams my inner voice. Sad! Lesson: Consistency is the key in being a good human being. A deliberate slip, however tiny means the good work is undone.
