Cant think of a title....

i read a book yester....called the Instant Millionare....wasnt tat good..full of the usual preachings....but it did get me thinking.....and i thought....
Life is Like the mirror of Erisad.....
Lets u be wat u want to be...
I mean....ppl who hav read HP ll get wat i mean...in the book...each person who looks into the mirror sees wat he wants see himself as....
My take is.....isnt life also like tat.....
Life is like a buffet meal u are eatin....u can either stick to the good old dal makhni( like i do;-)).....or u can always try out something new and exotic....at ur own risk.....
this book kept on preaching on and on about believing in urself and believing tat u can actually do something....it talked about how we worry about the uncertainities in life and hence....let opportunities go by....the book was a bit dry.....but the point tat is was tryin to make was a good one...
its this insecurity of the uncertainities ahead tat keeps us from actually tryin something different...ther is this quote tat i read somewher....
A ship in harbour is safe....but tats not wat ships are for.....
So many times in life....we look back and wish tat we had done some things differently.....hope tat ther was a time machine tat would help us go back and change wat we did...or let us do somethin tat we shd hav done...but never did....i guess tats life....no second chances here.....just gotta live with it....and hope tat next time an opportunity comes along....we dont hesitate.....

Life is at a crossroads for most of us now....change is eminent and looming large in front of us now.....and wat we are doing is either thinking about the good times we had in the past.....or worrying about wat the future holds for us....enjoy these moments....this time wont come back either....
I read a quote.....yesterday is dead....and tomorrow is yet to be born(its actually a topic for a gd at IIMC....god knows wat i ll do if stuff like this comes).........so enjoy the present...
Ponder over it....and now tat i got this outta my system....i am off to do wat i hav been tryin to do since yester....some serious code busting....
P.S. i ll post something proper soon....i know its been long...but i guess i hav been too lazy....

hi so a post after a long time,was pretty good.It's very true your attitude will reflect how your life's gonna be.You could either play it safe by going the conventional way or create a new path where you could all the way to your destination but,then easier said than done right!

wow.. pretty good post.. comes at a right time.. when someone i know keeps asking me about the very same thing.. i dono wat advice 2 give that person.

i believe there are two kinds of ppl in the wrld-risk takers and risk avoiders.. i wud fall into 2nd category.. i wud follow the same old grind...
followin ur heart .. followin ur dream / true passion .. infact finding what it is.. is taking in a lot of risk. which i wud not do..
but i do appreciate ppl who do the same a lot... when someone ventures into the unknown path its so ful of uncertanties and risk of failures.. to come out on top is great...

am stil thinkin wat to advice that person .. go follow ur dream which has the great risk of failure and struggle and hardship ? .. or follow the same old grind

former case atleast u wud die knowin u tried to be different and to find urself.. latter case u wud die as one among the crowd.....

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
