If not for a Sw Engr .....

I have seen many an interviews wherein the acnhor would ask a celebrity as to what he /she would be, had they not been in their current roles.
I used to wonder what would be my answer to that question.I would be definitely lying if I were to say that I wanted to be a Sw Engrr right from the day I heard about this job.I should admit I am still not able to find a convincing answer for this question...

What would I be doing had I not become an Engineer?
But I have an answer if I rephrase this question a bit.

What would I love to be now , had I not become a Sw Engrr?
Surprise Surprise :)
I would love to be a rock star ...
Imagine me in long hair and guitar strap around my torso with a stylish cooler running around the stage play some very ???????????? I know its even very diff to imagine but that's what I would love to become. No musical knowledge whatsoever is a different take altogether.


I am writing this blog because of RockOn (both movie as well as the MTv Show).
So no one should blame me for this wild imagination/dream of mine :)

Where the mind is without fear .....

Anyone surprised to see Tagore's verses as title????
Sometime back I read an interesting article in a news daily supplement which was stressing on the fact as to what all achievements ,humans can accomplish if they don't have fear in their mind.The article talked on fear being the villain in various facets of life (right from breaking relationships to even as trivial as losing a game).
Actually I would beg to differ with that. Though may not be applicable for relationships but to me fear could definitely be considered a driving factor or a motivating factor to achieve one's endeavors. I always used to wonder what motivates an individual to achieve eternal glory?
Is it popularity?
Is it money?
Is it feeling of power ?
.....

For me it is the fear of losing that actually makes one successful. It is the one that actually can push each and everyone to go beyond their abilities and accomplish things.

Those adrenalin pumping moments in a table tennis match or moments you enjoy when you accomplish a task which everyone considered impossible remain special because of our ability to oversome fear...(infact our ability to overcome the fear of losing).

Fitness freak ???

After a lot of thought I have decided to write abt one for which I m putting in a lot of effort.
For a gifted few it may not be applicable.
For some it doesn't matter.
For some they seriously want to but are not willing to spend much of a effort.
For some busy bees they are too occupied with the work that they don't even have time to think about it....
Enough of your wild guesses guys.Its about keeping oneself fit.
I should admit that I am one who doesn't like to workout.The only thing I would enjoy doing is getting up early in the morning and going for a leisurely work all alone. That is one time where atleast I enjoy being lonely.

But coming back I don't know how a sudden transition happened but nowadays I prefer heading to a gym after a days hard work (if I can call so ;) ). I normally set targets on the speed of my run and duration of run in treadmill. When I get to beat those targets the happiness I get is something which I cannot explain in words.


Guys I had this blog in my drafts ... I had drafted this on 15th Oct. In a matter of months everything has changed... I no longer head to the gym . One good example to illustrate my shortsighted goals :(
