To B.E. or Not To B.E.

To B.E., or not To B.E.: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die to ............k! k! k! lets cut this crap out! Flashback Orientation day: Mind in utter chaos. Linguistic inconveniences. Is it too late? Has the bullet left the barrel? Do time machines exist? Brad Pitt shouts in his indomitable style,"Focus! Focus! Focus!" Am I losing it or is that an overdose of David Fincher? Present Day: "Four years of engineering completed!" You share this with a person in solitary confinement for the last thirty years and he does not even flinch. You share this with your pet pooch and he is bored. You share this with that Angelina Jolie's pic in your restroom and...nah! there are better things to share instead. But you share this with that fellow engineer,not from your college or city or state but from some lousy corner of Bi

A Little Bit of Nothingness in My Mind

P.S.( I am assuming if P.S. is post script then so is it pre script so please bear along) :The title should not be hummed the Mambo No. 5 style but should be read straight. Let Us Pray: I have been looking through my keyboard for the past one hour and have not yet found the symbol OM anywhere.Do let me know its exact location on the keyboard.Anyways.....the prayer: Lord please forgive me for I know no what I do....I never had a chance to ever meet You(Oh my god that's not the prayer that's Encore).

The Mind Talks(Caution!This mind has a mind of its own): I sit at the comp. trying to figure what excuse do i have to be sitting here at 2:30 in the morning.I should rather be tucked away in my bed catching whatever valuable little sl

Who bought that monks Ferrari?

Yeah yeah...its old news that the monk sold his ferrari. Its older news that this book traces the transition of a lawyer from materialism to spiritualism.However, i would like to know how many people actually believed in that garbled garbage (trust me! I am being very polite) which turned out to be an international bestseller.How many got inspired by it? How many turned towards a spiritually satisfied living? I don't blame the book for being preachy.Rather, I blame it for its apparent shallowness.Here is a lawyer who has returned with a fresh lease of life ingested into his system.He sees the world through the eyes of some distant yogi residing in the Himalayas.The yogi himself is nothing short of a Tamil film hero who can shoot arrows better than William Tell and bathe in water several, and i mean several, degrees lower than room temperature. It is always easier to be the preacher and the teacher.Seriously, the last thing I need is an idealistic monk telling me to finish my daily
