How Old do You Feel

Today morning (though the clock said it was almost afternoon), when I got up, TIMES Life! said “How old do you feel?” I was about to say 25 but no one was there to listen…

I continued to read the article…Its about our society becoming ageless!! Gone are the days when we used to talk about generation gap…blah blah…We are getting more of thought oriented rather than age…Didn’t someone say “you are as young as you feel!”

Now coming to why I feel 25… I feel the maturity, the ability to take bigger decisions of life… the energy to work several hours, being goal oriented!! This year I am not 20 yrs old despite the fact that I was 19 last year…

As they say “Its all in the mind”…I like what Osho has to say: “Your age is just the calculation of the calendar.” and we seldom go by calendars!!

The whole of India (perhaps world) agrees about Dr. Abdul Kalam being still young to be the President of India(76 yrs young)…or Dalai Lama being mature enough to take charge of Tibet by 15… William Blake wrote poetry at 12; Blaise Pascal proved mathematical theorems at 16…The notion of age has definitely changed in recent times!!

As Satchel Paige aptly puts it

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?

Flexed

Out Annual Technical fest TechTatva is here again with many events that might excite you..

Its from 10th October, but various workshops have already started…I wanted to attend some of them but, as usual, there is very little information in the posters…They somehow manage to mismanage things!!

Today I wanted to attend the Flex workshop… almost no information about it in the posters, it just said the workshop is there… no registration details, or any other details for that matter… even the venue was not sure it seems.. I went to the venue as mentioned in the posters, only to discover (after waiting for 20 mins) that its been changed…

In school we were taught that those with position and power are wiser, but they taught me wrong it seems (I feel cheated being taught wrong things), I found no wisdom here in those organizing the events (not applicable to all)

Call it my ignorance or their mismanagement, the central thing is, I missed the workshop!!

What Motivates you!

Some time or the other they keep complaining about the 8 o’ clock class and them being too sleepy to attend the 1st class.

Ques: why didn’t u come to the morning class?

Answer: I was too sleepy. (couldn’t get up)

When it comes to me, my attendance shows I hardly miss classes… What’s the secret?? guesses??? Something that doesn’t let me miss the morning class, even if I am too sleepy!! Let me call it “habit”, but there are many other things involved..

What can motivate a person to go an extra mile to achieve something :

• Sense of Achievement

• The goals in life

• Personal values

• Auto-Suggestion

The list goes on and on….

For me its my passion too that works… I believe in work being worship!!

as they say:

You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.

What Motivates YOU??!

Will Dhoni Do a Kapil Today?!!

It was running in the minds of millions of cricket fans today; and yes He did it!!

India claim inaugural Twenty20 title after rousing finale!! Splendid Win indeed!!!

An awesome match, specially the last few overs..

Last over required 13 runs, not that easy; but the SIX in the 2nd ball turned the match more exciting… 6 runs from 4 balls now!!

It’s huge pressure both the sides, Joginder Sharma to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT, India! It’s all over here! Full and on the stumps.

What a great match!! Can’t ask for more from a grand final. It made everyone’s day out here!!

The Millionaire Next Door

It’s more than a yr now since I read the last book… College can be so busy sometimes… nevertheless I started reading one today… It’s called “The Millionaire Next Door”.

It’s about the habits of millionaires…

• What do they do?
• where do they drive?
• What do they drive?
• how do they Invest? etc…

It highlights the concept of wealth being measured in terms of time rather than money….(deja vu?!) which says you are wealthy the number of days u will survive if u stop working today.

If I survive 1 yr if stopped working today, meeting all the expenses, I am 1 yr wealthy!!

more as I read…

College: last week was quite relaxed after the sessional…can’t say how long the relaxation would continue…with mid term project demo, quizzes, assignments and lab test due, days to come are not that fun!!
