Electronika

"You got mail" says the mail box every morning even before you brush your teeth or have your coffee. It was already 10:00 am, the alarm really did not suceed any time earlier, but thank god, "It's a snooze" . The hard work and pain of the streneous brushing exercise is gone with the advent of "Mr. Electronic Brusher" . Mom's job was being done by friendly cooks, Mr.Microwave, Toaster and omlette maker." . Who cares if my bycycle is fit to ride today, my car is really reliable, " thank god!!! I really don't have to walk no more" . Work is great, "sitting in my air conditioned room, with my dual core Xeon and a solaris machine, Ahhh.. what else could I ask for" . The best part, "My new weather bug, updates me on the temperature/sunshine.... outside every thirty seconds, so I get to know everthying happening outside." My lunch time discussion was about conquering the lost empire in Guildwars, an online game that I play with my friends when I am away from them. I have my evenings pretty well planned. On any typical evening of a weekday, I go home which is immediately followed up by a light snack(being diet conscious, its reduced to just some fruits!!!) after which I start on the Guildwars. After a tiring session of 2hrs, depending on my mood, I cook for myself, or eat out in in depression(due to losing the game). Finally, I rest in peace in my air conditioned room, dreaming....

"Have I talked about all the comforts of life?".

I am sure "I am missing something!!!!!!" and very sure that many people will be able to correlate it to their everyday lives. The question really should be, "what next?".

Do I really wanna know?

A return to the blog world after a quite a hiatus, seems like ages since I last wrote. This time the fire was really kindled by couple of very unusual gossip sessions, particulary on what I consider as philosophical issues. Issues discussed upon varied from, the science embedded in Indian mythoogy, the appreciation of sanskrit, about power of mind and ofcourse the regular discussion with totti on America On Line.
The first few bullets are something that make complete sense, are well proven issues that are based on facts and records in the form of amazing scriptures, the absolute genius of the ancient time people. Its infact a pity that I really dont know much about all that, and infact googling over last few days helped me learn some really amazing facts about Indian mythology and ancient sciences. The latter is something that I occasionaly think about(I am referring to Netgear's close compititior now!!). That is something which is based on nothing(or probably which is beyond my comprehension), and after quite some thinking about it I kinda felt that life is really much more simpler if I just stop thinking about such abstruse(to me) issues like, the power of mind, subconscious mind, the Art of Life.... lots of similar associated issues. But atleast for now, temporarily I will stick to my quest for knowing Indian Mythology, atleast till I am able to retain this enthu. (which might just last till the end of this day.. but even that's not bad:-p)

Is it the weather? Or just me

Always try to get back to the entusiasm levels for sports which I had while at IITM. But, something is wrong, I never am able to get it back. I probably was good and catching up while at calif. but back here at penn state enthusiasm levels just drop way too low. Is it acads? weather? people around me? all of the above...
I think all of the above would be the right answer... half the time I have deadlines to catch ... then there is bad weather... and finally there are very few people who realy wanna be playing... which again is because of the above reasons... so it essentaily gets onto a viscious loop which could only be broken by few enthusistic ppl. Hoping to get back playing soccer every day sometime.. I know it is not even remotely possible, but I just wish....

Anyways, sadly back from an amazing trip to florida... just wish I could say, "Good to be back", but that statememnt has to be put on hold for a while... I believe an year or so...
