- Brain always try to make you fool. And most of the time in the examination times. It always tries to give you the easiest option available. e.g. Let's sleep now, and I will finish thing in the morning. Guys, believe me I was caught in this trap so many times :-(.
- The day you start going to gym, your work at office you go up. And then you will stop the gym (using that pretension!), and then one fine day (minimum after few weeks) you will realize that work was over long back, but still you are not going to gym :-(.Good habits come late, go fast; and bad habits come fast, go late.
- Why it is so difficult to be happy ? And so easy to be sad ? Is it that we like to be sad ? hmm.. does that mean that we are happy being sad ? Ufffff... too confusing!
- You need to put conscious effort to achieve anything in life. It doesn't come from within or anything like that. Ye dharti pe hai "Karm Yuddh...".
- Change is always good. At least when you know that present is bad anyways :-).Believe me it can make wonders...
- Memories can not be created or destroyed; they can only be converted from one form to the another :-).
- The longest journey in the world is that distance between two people.
- You will be happy if you do anything extra than you regular work (with your regular work).
- Everyone needs accomplishment to keep the life going. The moment you stop; you are bored.

From the childhood...
Yesterday, I was coming back from Mumbai, and on the way I was thinking what all events I remember from my childhood. And I came up with these (few which came first in my mind):
- My first day in school. Yes, I remember going to the principal office with mom for admission. I still remember my first book. It was a book with polythene cover with A,B,C written on it. Although it has all the subjects covered in it :-).
- My stuffed horse, and the toy jeep, I used to drive at my uncle's place.
- My friend cycle. I didn't have it :-(.
- Meeting with Mudgil first time. We met in the school bus 24 years back :-). And he is still one of the best friend I have. We talk once or twice in the year, but still we know almost everything about each other.
- I still remember that I always wanted to go to dad's office, but I could never go there. In fact till today, I never entered the premises of his office. And I wonder how!
- Whenever I used to see raindrops, I used to feel that I have something special in me and that I can see them and tell everyone that it's raining :-), before everyone else can find out. Today, I just smile of that thought.
- First time I rode my bicycle after almost 1 year of continuous effort in standard 1st.
- Some fine day,me and bro used to start laughing on something without any reason, and we will keep doing it until we get scolded from dad or someone else at home; Because we could never tell why were we laughing (actually what used to happen was, we used to forget why we started, frankly!).
- Going and plucking bairs and other fruits from the garden near Vedu's house. We did get caught few times ;-), and did get hurts from thorns so many times :-(
- Our bicycle rides to school. They were so much fun everyday.Without getting down me and Love Light (his name was Prem Prakash) used to change the driver. We used to be too good in doing that. I still feel good about it.
- I could never understood how Jyoti (my classmate during 1st to 8th standard) could figure out what it means by "chakkar aana". She always used to go home early using those word "Ma'am mujhe chakkar aa raha hai". I could figure out what it means only in standard 8th, after experience the mary-go-round over too much speed! I was jealous throughout my childhood that I could not go home early!
- I never enjoyed even a single rainy day. Why rain always used to stop just at the last moment :-(. At least ek baar to hona tha yaar!! I heard; now a days every winter people in Kanpur also get winter vacation too! I am jealous!!!
- I still remember seeing my best friend first time.

Looks like, I have got good memory,and if I kept writing, it will be too long :-)
Let me stop here itself :-)

Few Wonderful Quotes
Faisla hone se pehle, hum bhala kyun haar maane;
Jab abhi jeeta nahi hai, aur hum abhi haare nahi hain!
The More You know, You know, How little You know!
Doosron mein khud ko kho k, mai to paana,
Bada he mushkil kaam hai, Zindgi isi ka naam hai!
Dream are not something, what you see while sleeping;
But they are the one, which keep you awake!
Everything in the beginning looks impossible, then improbable and then INNEVITABLE!!
If you do, what every successful person has done! You will Succeed!!
Jab abhi jeeta nahi hai, aur hum abhi haare nahi hain!
The More You know, You know, How little You know!

Bada he mushkil kaam hai, Zindgi isi ka naam hai!

Change is the only thing constant...
Haar ek din ki sao jeet laati hai;
Gurd mein ek pyar khota hai;
Phir koi naya meet laati hai;
Zindgi badlaao k, aise he geet gaati hai!
-Di

Taala Choron K Liye Nahi Hota (Lock is not for the thieves..)
So many times, I come across situations where I find people cribbing about the system. And most of the time, I find them cribbing about the good things which they don't like to do. For example, waiting for few minutes at the office gate and get their bags or cars checked, maintaining the speed limit while driving, waiting at a traffic signal where less traffic is coming from the other side et cetra et cetra. They will always have questions like:-Why do they have checks even for the employees, why can't they let me drive as fast as I can when roads are empty ? Don't they trust us ?.
And whenever I land up in these kind of conversation/discussions; I find myself always giving the same example which I heard from my father when I was a kid, and that is "Beta! taala choron k liye nahi hota hai, vo to shareef logon k liye hota hai taaki vo apni sharaafat se naa dugmaga jaayen! (Son!lock is not for the thieves, it is only for the honest people so that they don't loose their honesty after getting the freedom). I don't know at what age I heard this line, but I found it appropriate in various moments of life. Let me give you few good examples here:
In India, what is the necessity of the traffic person at the signal ? Do you think that one person can catch all the who break the signal ? or is he going to run behind every other person who breaks the signal ? No dear! he is not going to run behind most of the people. But he, being there, making sure that majority of the nice people ,standing there at the signal, don't try to do it because they are honest; and even though they want to break it, they will not do it if that guard is standing there. I hope you understand what I am trying to say, as you know the difference at the signal with and without that person standing there anyways.
For the friend in Austin, dear friend it is not just about money, but it is also about safety when you are driving on the highway because it's not only the talent of the drive or the vision of the drive which plays a role, but according to me it is the reflex time/speed also taken under consideration when making those kind of rules (keeping an average driver in mind). So there might be a case that you are good driver, but after crossing a particular speed limit, your reflexes or the braking capacity of the cars may not be good enough to stop at a required distance. And other thing as you said yourself that "it is to stop other people from breaking the rules as well...".
In fact, if you observe the Nature also, you will find that it has portrait these kind of things in one or the other form. It has put attraction forces between every two particles to keep the things in shape (or I would call it descipline!). The moment this force become less, disorder takes over (liquid, gases etc...).
So coming back to my original point, for all those who feel irritated every morning (including me :-)) when the security guy is checking your bags (or on the highway with in the speed limits or anywhere else ), please try to understand that he is not trying to catch a thief everyday (as all theives are much more smarter than the guy sitting there), but he is stopping other people to become thief :-), or try to think in those lines. And trying to make the society a better place to live...

A Little Introspection....
Today I was actually reading a famous poem when I realized that I can actually correlate myself with it, so here it is:
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
- Robert Frost
This is what I am from inside. Want to go miles and miles in life. And I hope that My dreams will keep me awake...
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
- Robert Frost
This is what I am from inside. Want to go miles and miles in life. And I hope that My dreams will keep me awake...
