One more day ,,,,

To get an idea is difficult, to present it picturesquely is practically impossible. Try posting a new topic everyday in a blog.

When I started this blog, I was a different "man".

I had plans of going home, on December 12th.

I always argued against women, and for evolution. How contrary can I be?
I always adored women and solidly believed in God. Afterall, he is the one who brought me this far. The topic is not God. Let me continue....

I almost booked the ticket home, when

u guessed it, God intervened.

My old roomie, Pavan Nagaraj, was cooking(in his home in Florida) . Tired as he was with his tight schedule, he went for the Puligore mix. And he remembered me , for I used to cook it all the time. The timing seemed so perfect that only one person could have ordained it.

We had a long talk. But a few words remain etched in my memory:

"You came here as a kid, whatever happens, WHATEVER, Go back as a Man"

and I intend to do exactly that.

There are few points I have to prove to myself before I leave home. As the Spider-man caption put it beautifully

"The Greatest battle lies within you"

and battles to win, I have.


Being born as the second and last child has its advantages.

I always got the best deal. Always was the Poster-boy and well, always got what I wanted.

My mother and father(my brother) were always worried about the same thing.

When will I grow up?

I can say I grew up and be done with it. But words are ,,, huh! words. If you can't follow them up with actions they remain words, like the "friendship", "Love" and "hate". They are extant as just words nowadays.

It's not the words that are important but the meaning they imply, and we use them without implications.

There is only one test to prove yourself. if somebody can trust you with a job, you have grownup.

Now, let me stress that again. All the words in the above sentence have a meaning only when reflected in actions.

Trust is not an easy thing to get.

Try never to lose it....

Couldn't get any righter than that. Pavan's right - grow up we all must sooner than later. Life forces it on us.

But in being a man, try not to lose sight of the kid in you. Child is the father of man..

I will never change, it's a choice
