If you can fill the unforgiving minute...

You log on to facebook and see people glorifying their absolutely mundane lives by posting it on the wall, people rearing sheep and beautifying their farm, people who you barely know writing absolutely unwanted comments on your pictures, people who you once had feelings for, proudly dispalying their now 'in a relationship' status -Popping out of the screen and yelling at you -hey you loser! I am his now and you freaking moron I am now so happy now, so hell with you and your stupid know-it-all talk. and he likes to hear the rubbish I speak, and he gets me choclates and yeah he has a big car, not a stupid bike like you... He..hahaha...
So here I am tired, dejected and rejected...

But then come to think of it, this all is my undoing. I am dealing with another situation these days- it deals with someone who is reaching out, literally crying for my help everytime we talk. What do you do you when the only thing you can do is to run away from the situation- at least that way you can help yourself. The sick mentality that many Indian parents have is that they can't accept the fact their daughter is doing better than her son. So, what do you then - you pull her back and push her into the same muck she worked so hard to come out of. and then show the world that they took the step in her larger interest. Congratulations, you have ensured that she will now be stuck there all her life!
and all I can do is watch the drama unfold with these SOBs ruining her life....

These are some of times I really wished I earned more...

Rejuvenated

I had a serious work out today, after a long long time and I feel great. Relaxed and Rejuvenated. All that lethargy and laziness seems to have gone for good.

Well, a few things have happened over the last couple of weeks. My ISB interview was on 10th. It went pretty well in my opinion. The panel was very patient and was willing to hear me out. Besides the standard B school questions on work, why MBA, etc they asked about my hobbies and I was quick to rattle off my experiences in Sikkim, Goa, Mcleodganj, Bharatpur, Bihar - Pretty diverse list eh. Come to think of it I have actually travelled a lot over the past 2 years or so. Lets see , fingers crossed on this one

On a related note the Mayal Lyang website is up and runnning. http://www.mayallyang.com/. Ankit, has done a pretty decent job , with some contribution from Neeraj and I. Now comes the tougher part, promoting it. We have thought of a few options. I plan to write more about it soon.

I am going off to sleep now, Its pretty late in the night now. and the last thing I want is to reach office at 11:30 like yesterday. though, now that I that I have been to the gym I should manage to get up on time tomorrow

Awesome

I must admit that though it has been good two weeks since I came back from Sikkim, the hangover still remains. Well here is the public link of the pictures from the trip, which I posted on my FB account. Though I must admit they don't quite do justice to the place. The scenes and moment have been etched deep down and frankly no pictures can be better than that. I am not trying to defend my rather limited photography skills here.

The Lingza falls and the adrenaline flow with ice cold water falling on me
Sitting on the banks of the beautiful Rayangchuu
Lachen Valley, Thangu - Frankly I wonder why people go to Switzerland
The cold desert that followed Thangu with no one in site - Stairway to heaven as someone posted on my FB link
Then of course the Gurudongmar Lake - I wonder if I'll see anything more beautiful in my life.
and of course Gyatso - Buddy I can just say that I am lucky to have found a friend like you.

I have fallen in love with Sikkim all over again.
