Battles vs Wars
One can win battles but loose war. Vice versa also can be true. People loose battles after battles but may win war to succeed once for all. People play pitched battles.
E.g. Pakistan is trying to fight many small battles since long time. But India is thinking long term is planning to win war and is sure to win WAR once for all in due course of time.
Same applies to life. Always think of winning wars than winning small small battles. Think long term. Don't be afraid to run from battle field but plan and attack once more and this time win war and not small small battles.
Cheers!

Tense moments
Things don't move as I wish. But sometimes they do, but lately. My mind is getting impatient craving to happen them early. How do I console this mind?
Yeaaahhhh, I know!!!!!!!!
That's human mind. Greedy, impatient, always unsatisfied. Anayway that's the way things are in this suck'in world. Here ends again, another chapter in my life. I made few pals with strong bonds. But, heck! time wears out everthing. But still wish to keep in touch with everyone, I want. Lots of learnings but lots of regrets too. With few happy moments, far away from this place, back at home. But losses outnumbered earnings, as usual.
People, skills, bucks, place, climate, pain, pleasure and everything life offered during last one and half year or so, has been like riding rollarcoster without safety belt. It took me to heights, dropped to lows, also banged mercilessly as victim of circumstances.
Thanks lord, I was fool enough to keep on going. Otherwise, where could I have found courage. Finally, what counts is doing things differently as said by Martin in following quote.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ralph like us was willing to be a fool. And the way to get to the top of the heap in terms of developing original research is to be a fool, because only fools keep trying. You have idea number 1, you get excited, and it flops. Then you have idea number 2, you get excited, and it flops. Then you have idea number 99, you get excited, and it flops. Only a fool would be excited by the 100th idea, but it might take 100 ideas before one really pays off. Unless you're foolish enough to be continually excited, you won't have the motivation, you won't have the energy to carry it through. God rewards fools.

I pray lord to make it happen. Only thing which I need to take care is keep my work focussed towards them without any deviations. With positive attitude and fair enthusiasm, I'm marching towards the goal. May lord help in that to success.

JUST DO IT!
Today has been wonderful day. Once again the great Marathi saint Tukaram’s quote (For those of you who don’t know. English translation goes like “If You do it, it happens. First do it”) proved right.
After many hesitations and apprehensions, I could make decision to do it. I consider personally it is great adventure. Just after out of driving school and few moments with Mitsubishi van at Auckland, I had no confidence and experience of driving 4 wheeler to venture such exercise.
I woke early hours of breezy morning at 6:00am, in Chennai with many hesitations to go to Madhavaram (which is 12KM north of Koyamvidu, North Chennai, which itself is 17 km from my apartment) in East coast Road bus. I was supposed to fetch maruthi zen car of my friend Aniruddha Chattarjee which was transported from Delhi. I was praying Lord Ganesha and my favorite Lord Krishna throughout my way to the place to make my adventure possible and successful and trouble free as I was venturing with someone else car. After couple of hassles with auto guys (Chennai auto guys are famous for cheating everyone, suckers) I made it to my destination. In his messy office, Mr. Tambi (as I don't know his name), transport business owner was scribbling his pay-in slips to deposit his half dozen cheques, where I was told to wait. After couple of calls with someone & verifying address and company ID card he made up his mind to handover me car and car keys. I verified the car and it’s status as per papers. I started driving with lessons whatever I could recall from my of driving school more than 3 years back and my trivial experience of trying Mitsubishi van at Auckland 2 years back. I started from extreme north end of Chennai to my apartment at the south end of Chennai. Fortunately my discussion with colleagues the earlier day & my own thoughful prepartions helped me to take precautions of checking petrol and checking out my body language to handle traffic cops stares etc. With few hiccups like missing route 2 times and inexperience in handling clutches, gears & breaks of 4 wheeler, I finally made it to my apartment. First thing I did was to thank Lord for his grace on me to make decision and giving courage and confidence to complish this task completely and successfully.
Also helped was previous night reading of book called The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho to build up my confidence and courage. As he said in the book, “When you want something, all
the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”.

Collision without frictions...
My thoughts after receiving award called spot award from my company for excellent Performance and Delivery (and also sticking to company for enough long.(:-) )
"I see there is collision of thoughts. One side of the same does it with assumptions, fears, expectations & other side with accomplishments, awful pride, pretence, and sense of demotion. I understand why people call it world of hypocrites, politics or diplomacy. I know it is again the same old thing, illusion of being myself in place of my physical personality. This only thing takes away my liberty and my chance of returning to my original abode, i.e. Back to GodHead"
CHECK IT BEFORE IT BECOMES YOU.
