Man in the mirror

I see a guy with the third world war being fought on his face(The docs call it acne vulgaris). The self deprecating joke apart, its been driving me crazy that I have been cribbing a lot on my posts. I have been just highlighting all the things that are wrong in this world, just problems, without offering any solutions or saying what I as an individual am going to do about it. People who have known me in the past would vouch for me being a pretty optimistic person. So I have decided to change the format of these postings. Not only am I going to crib about all that is wrong with this world, I am going to suggest what could be done to change it and what I as an individual am going to do about it. I know what you guys are saying now, not another Oprah or Dr. Phil or countless other people on TV who want to change the world (on TV). Don’t worry I’ll spare you the talking and concentrate on the walking.

One of my friends has already comment in my college’s yahoo group that my postings are generally all about myself with some gems(sic) among them. I would just like to reiterate that Ulysses is the be all and end all of my posting … (joking of course)

On side note, man in the mirror is also a song by MJ who also happens to be one of my nemesis. He is the reason that all secular English music is virtually banned in my house to this day!! Even Bony M was acceptable, but MJ was the devil himself!!

I know I am long overdue with the report on how the effort to establish a orphanage for the tsunami victims is going on. Right now we have just started out with a after school program for around 35 – 40 kids from a slum in Chennai. Once I am able to generate more income, we would be on our way to start with the orphanage. We also are looking at all the legal issues involved.

The fishes have survived so far. 12 of them are still alive after a months time. Now I have to think of what I am going to do if they are start getting real big!

Hey people I would like to hear views about what you are doing to make a difference in your life/in somebody’s life/for the whole world. I know you all are pretty humble but this could help other people do more!! I can see that quite a few people read this blog but few if any write any comments. I would really appreciate it if I could see your views on here too, its pretty lonely at the top :D. So here is your one big chance to talk about yourself and if you are shy just post it anonymous!

till laters …

Avoiding the phrase β€œI don’t have time…”, will soon help you to realize that you do have the time needed for just about anything you choose to accomplish in life.

Trust me on April fools day …

This year on April fools day, I had the sudden divine inspiration to claim that I was getting engaged. I selected the name after the wife of Ulysses in Greek mythology (Penelope), added a little bit of Hispanic spice into it and voila I had my fiancee Penelope from Argentina working in Information Security. The only glitch was that my friends knew me too well or atleast they think they do πŸ˜‰ … I did have a lot of my friends fooled. One person was convinced after I mailed her a picture in my yahoo album.

If it weren’t for a couple of meddling people who could never believe that I would get a girl, I would probably be receiving some cards and gifts by now … The plan was perfect, I even had a date (May 25th). But I did overlook the fact that I come from a society that pre-dominantly has arranged marriages.

From my friends refusal to believe me, I don’t know if I should take it as a insult that they think I won’t get a girl, or be happy that my friends know me so well πŸ™‚ …

Something to ponder.

The Pope is dead … long live the Pope
