Damn!!! I wish i was a kid again. Now what triggered this thought?? Well i met my buddies from school this weekend and as usual we were talking about all the crazy stuff we had been through and suddenly we realized that we hardly get time to meet. The craziest thing is this, my office is a 5 minute walk from my buddy’s office and yet we hardly meet not even for lunch. Back home i was thinking about how carefree life was when i was a kid. No thoughts about deadlines, work pressure, investments, expenditure, updating myself professionally etc etc…all i had to think was do i finish my homework now or should i copy it from someone from school the next day?. It was mostly the latter. I could play a song i liked really loud, over and over without worrying about what others might think. All the games where we made up the rules along the way. All those stamp trades, thirutu ice-creams. Life Was Good!!!. I’m not saying i lead a crappy life now, Life is still good. Its just that it has become very mechanical and I’ve gotta make schedules for everything now..wait its time for me to scratch……………….Ah that felt good.

I met another interesting person this week..My Lecturer from college. It was nice to see him after all these years. I thought he’d have trouble remembering me but he recognized me immediately which is good, but he remembered me as the skinny guy who always kept talking and causing trouble. Well…I’m proud of that too coz i believe that “if you cannot be part of the solution…be part of the problem”

Talking about problems i had a nice argument with a colleague of mine. It was basically a Veg Vs Non-Veg argument. While he argued about vegetarians being similar to animals coz they basically eat leaves and fruits, a thought popped in my mind…Who was the first person to say, “See that chicken over there … I’m gonna eat the first thing that comes out if its butt”?. Well to each their own what can i say . i also overheard a couple of girls talking about “Split-Ends”…doesn’t that make you wonder, why don’t the hairs on your arms get split ends?

I have been thinking about getting a new mobile phone…I am tempted to get a SE K750i…but i have been successfully resisting temptation till now. I was talking about this to Karthik..our company’s IT-Manager and he asked me not to buy it now and wait for some more time and prices will drop. He even used the famous “Good things comes to those who wait” line. Let me ask you this, aren’t the ‘good things that come to those who wait’ just the leftovers from the people that got there first?

Anyway i will be getting the new mobile soon but the only thing that’s holding me back is the fact that SE is coming out with more new models, i don’t want to buy the K750i and then regret not buying a higher model later. Anyways i gotta get it soon coz companies are now giving away free gifts which brings me to another question Why do companies offer you “free gifts?” Since when has a gift NOT been free?
