Well, here we are again and this time i have a few questions for what seems to be a very limted Audience. It has to do with some of the intangibles i.e. the things that really don't have a physical presence yet seem to impact our lives a lot.NO i'm not talking about ghosts, or whatsoeveryoumay call them.I'm talking about things like say respect,honour,integrity,honesty etc.
How do we judge these things in a person is ofcourse a very subjective thing but none the less i wonder how much these impact our lives.It's quite a known fact that academic success(or say intelligence) plays only a 20% role in determining success while 80% are intangible's like compassion,understanding,determination,insight,guts etc. So how much do these actually play a part.Are they really that important or is it just that we'd like things to be that way.I believe they are.Ten years ago the argument between bussiness and morals raged but now has been settled with a company's values having utmost significance in it's working.Narayan Murthy once said that his company rarely had a problem making decisions between ethics in business simply because the foundation values were clearly defined and that nipped a lot of problems in the bud.So what do you think.Write in...

OK i'm not takin credit for this.This one was penned by Rucha.
I've dreamed of many dreams that never came true,
I've seen them vanish at dawn.
But i've realised enough of my dreams,Thank god,
To make me wanna dream on
I've prayed many prayers,But no answers came,
Though i've waited patient and long,
But answers came to enough of my prayers,
To make me keep praying on
I've sown many seeds that fell by the way,
For the birds to feed upon,
But i've held enough golden sheaves in my hand,
To keep me sowing on
I've drained the cup of dissapointment and pain,
And gone many days without song,
But i've sipped enough nectar from the roses of life,
To make me live on.....
WOW!!!

So ok im in my philosophical mood again.So i get to thinking.What is the life of dreams.Is it having everything u ever want or is it leaving the world with an indelible mark so you're remembered forever.And who's more succesful,bill gates or albert einstein. What success is to different people is what makes the world so diverse.But is there something,some common denominator which can tell you if a person is living the life of his dreams.
Where do u find the thin line between achieving and balance.Do u give up everything
to achieve your goals or is doing the right thing more important.or is there a third solution where u achieve both.
Am i supposed to think all this.Is ignorance bliss or is knowledge power?if you look around how many people are really happy?and if there are so many unhappy people then what do they all have in common
How do decisions affect the quality of life. And how do people forget what they really want and go off track.is it that easy.?

1. Saw mangal pandey thought it was really good .yeah a bit long but it's storytelling pace is frenetic.and Aamir is good though somehow a maharashtrian actor would be best to play the character i feel.Anyways it was beautifully directed and shot.Rani looks really fiery in it.But it started to make me think.We know that rulers write history so how important is this movie in shaping the character of mangal pandey in history.because as of now all we have is 2 pages on him,not even a proper photo and now this movie.in the future parts of this movie based on folklore, not written history, will be accepted as history.funny how history is written.No history turns into folklore,folklore into myth and myth re written as history.
So how uch do wanna believe personally i like him being projected as a hero even if there is evidence that he did what he did in a drunken state.Projection of a man into a folklore hero mostly helps people to remember the sacrifices made.
2.EPL the season has started and manu must win theres no alternative so i hope to see my team kick Chelsea's sorry A** ..
MANCHESTER UNITED FOR LIFE!!!
