Love

I love this world, if you are not really carefull you might just fall in love everystep of your life. I am just glad that I am so clumsy as to fall in love with something everyday.

Music its magical

I am listening to this composition/rendition by the london symphony orchestra titled "Air" dont know much about classical music or this perticular composition but its beautiful. I never knew music could be this beautiful, I literally have tears in my eye. Not tears of saddness but something else, something deep within me is moved. I feel like the music is singing to my soul.

Medicine and me

Most of you know my plight - the randomness of my life first affected my health and now it affects my healing as well.

None of the treatments I have been on for the last 3-4 years have been effective or I have not effectively used them. either way I still suffer from gastric problems, skin allergies and a wicked limp on really cold days.
and not to mention several other random aches and pains I feel these days.

I was not exactly the epitome of health to start with but I was sturdy (I imagine) I don't remember being sickly or that frequently unwell. I fell pray to illness like any kid but survived the pain and healing gracefully and yet for the last 3 years I have been haunted by minor but irritating health troubles that have reduced me to a moaning, hopeless, perennially sulking hypochondriac.

But apart from my own personal failures I blame my plight on the health care system. I don't trust most doctors, don't get me wrong I have met more than a few good doctors and some greats but as a whole the health care system seems to be purely driven to produce profits these days. I miss the good old days when a good doctor was considered as good as devine and the doctors themselves where intrested first in curing ailments rather than meeting their quota.

Please mind your language

Recent years have not been kind to the English language, globalization, ubanization, MTV, the advent of computers, the internet and social media have left scores of languages in near death states and english probably has had to bear the bunt of the problem.

So the universal demise of languages aside my own personal diving language ability and skill have reached an alarming state. I need to re-learn the language ground up and this is a task i dont undertake lightly. This is a dear and deeply personal grail quest.

MBA or not to be

Its an open question to all who may land up here. Do you think an MBA is the right direction for me?

Headphone Maddness

For the past few weeks I have been obsessing over headphones. I have scoured through pages and pages of reviews, articles, YouTube videos and have contemplated a ton of options. Its an old addiction but one that I have been able to keep under wraps since I got married. I am surprised that its rearing its ugly head now, I thought I was over my impulse buying phase.

I usually have the compulsion to buy headphones when I hit a wall in my life so as usual the deep underlying cause of this resent relapse has to be investigated. I am guessing its got a lot to do with my career slump.

Tell me about your quirks? How do you deal with a slump in any aspect of your life?

cheers
