you maybe right...

The one thing that I am extremely passionate about is individuality and space. As i stare out in the dark night, I wonder...am i losing it?

I think a couple of months in a life of 70-80 years is irrelevant and does not define you by any standards so not much is lost. But yes you do need reminders, kicks from people around you if they suspect you are not being you.

Another secret I think about life is that there are phases, ups and downs at work and in life in general. The ups are great...but what do you do when things are down?

I suggest be by yourself, maintain a low profile...work on what you like doing...could be blogging, reading, meditating, going on a vacation alone, staying alone at home and listening to your kind of music, pursuing a hobby, spending time with family...whatever it is that helps you reconnect with your self.

The self has tremendous power...its true you can make things happen...all you need is to reconnect with yourself to understand whats happening around you and in a second things change.

We all at times loose the connection - you need to repair it and live on.

Now thats the easy part - the tougher is actually understanding why you lost that connection. A loss in connection I guess happens when you get too busy at times at work, at times thinking about others, at times by just spending too much time on non constrictive thoughts. It may also happen because of conditioning - a change in life and you do not know how conditioning and past experiences have worked on your subconscious mind and you behave as you must and not maybe not as you want to.

What is important is to realize....work upon it and there you are as good as new.. or should I say as good as your old self ;)

The world is getting closer...

I cannot begin to explain how much I appreciate the internet...

Being an avid surfer and blogger... I must go a step ahead and say..that the contribution of the internet for making me stay in touch with the person I am ( i.e. without defining who exactly I am :) ) is tremendous...makes me want to make some big contribution back to the world wide web...Just dont' know yet what its going to be.

Its easy to wander off in life...yet the one para you read in someones blog just reconnects you with yourself... Today it was shekhar kapur ...tomo it could be anyone

You reach a stage in your company where you don't know if its the right time to move on and you read a blog of a product guy in a very successful company who left it...and says - stay hungry...stay foolish.

I have read arguments about people becoming loners and spending all their time on the internet...really dont know how is that possible...its just a media...extreme stories would exist without the existence of the media as well.

Networking sites is the next email I think...what could better than wishing all you know good morning early morning...in 2 seconds? Don't think its a waste of time at all. Its just networking :)

What could be easier if you want to pull pack and not be in touch with anyone...all you need to do is not logon.

Am waiting for the next phase...I think it will be the lightening fast internet I read about in TOI a few days back...the only thing that limits the internet possibilities and usage in India is the speed & cost & entrepreneurial talent... I wonder how will it be 2 yrs down the line or maybe 5...maybe the world would have changed again...what fun :)
