Today's learning.
'Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. '

I hate cell phones. They eat up your time, they eat up your money, and they make you horribly dependent. Just like any other valuable resource, we humans exploit it and abuse it, to an extent that it becomes a pain point.

Shocking but true.

"I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar or who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values & people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage." (Lord McCauley in his speech of Feb 2, 1835, British Parliament) "

It's easy.
Its easy to have fun, you just have to take first step. I realised this when i went to kayaking yesterday. Thnx to vishal who chalked out the plan and to his parents who served us amazing food. Idli, Sambar and desi sandwitch ..all simple items but served with love made the evening special. Kayaking @ Lake washington was very thrilling especially because of the traffic lake has. There were various types of boats, ships and to add to that frequently landing and taking off water planes.

We had to learn to control the kayak quite quickly largley because of the fear of being run over by the water planes. Eventhough kayak have right of way, we never thought that the pilot could see us during landing. On retrospect, it didn't seem that dangerous, but when we were in kayak, and we saw one plane after the other approching right towards us at it was landing really scared the shit out of us.

Overall it was a great fun. Rare occasions of sunny weekends make them really special and given that there are so many things to do at Seattle, is reinforcing my decision to live in seattle more than any other city.

Summer is getting over soon, but i hope to make most out of the reminder, especially by doing simple things such as kayaking :)

know more about what I want

How do we do this? — 1 year ago

This is a very important goal, infact achieving this goal mean making better use of this time/life and this site.

How do we do this?
Do we base our “wants” on past experience?
As of today, all we have is our past, and our goals are in future.
Goals are driven by past. has anyone managed to let go the past, and tried to figure out how to come up with goals. know what you really want.

Also, what i notice is by the time i attain the goal, it may become irrelavent al together.

Wants are tuff…
