I am writing this post while travelling in a bus and I started wondering about the irony of my situation.
Here I am blogging on the world wide web while travelling with the help of my unlimited data GPRS connection, sounds great. Ok the speed sucks, but that's the only difference. Otherwise its same whether I had been on this village road in Haryana or the metro in New Delhi or the tram in San Francisco!
But the moment I make this comparison, I realise that everything except my mobile phone is entirely different story. I am travelling by by a government roadways bus, whose windows make that trrrr vibrating noise even when its in neutral gear. The road is so bad that I have to stop typing and hold the seat every couple of minutes to avoid falling on the person sitting on my side. And the service is so bad that I will need to change 3 buses and spend around 3 hours to reach a place around 100kms away!
Why can I get world class services on one side and totally crappy service on the other?
Is it just because of the fact that mobiles are controlled by private companies and other infrastructure by government?
And not only in villages, this difference lies there in big cities too! I can get a 2mbps broadband connection at my home in Gurgaon. But if I have to go to my office (which is around 12kms away) in public transport, it will take 4 changes and more than one hour! And both are provided by private parties, so we can't even blame government here!! I really don't know the reason here. Because there is a great demand for better transport and whoever provides will make profit also, but still no one seems to care! I must be missing something here. Would love to know what's the mystery here.


We always talk about efficiency and wastages these days. So, I just thought what about my efficiency? Am not talking about efficiency at work or at study. 
What about efficiency in daily routine work?
Am I the only one who has wasted hours and hours on selecting the theme for blog and still not being completely happy with it? I could have been same satisfied in half the time!
Am I the only one who has visited 50 University websites and still not being able to decide whether I should go for higher studies or not?
Am I the only one who has read 5 reviews before going to a movie and still go to watch it and then feel totally bored even before the interval?
Am I the only one who has gone to 3 stores and tried 10 trousers and then buy one that I don't like on reaching home?
I am not saying that one shouldn't research before deciding on anything. But I feel that I tend to waste time on unnecessary things more often than the necessary ones.
Wont it be better if I first decide what exactly do I want and then go into details? It seems a better way than wasting time on things which I will reject finally.
I should first decide whether I want to study more or not and then only look into 10 universities of 5 different countries! I should know that I am going to watch movie to pass a boring weekend and so I would prefer watching a movie in hall and rant about it with friends, rather than sitting at home anyways! I should know that no matter how many shops I try, I won't like low waist jeans!
Seems I just want to avoid the main issues and just poke around the sidelines!
Is it me only or you also feel like that? Please let me know...


I watched the movie Dasvidania yesterday and it was a mixed experience. I wanted to see more of Russia, but it was very small part so got a bit disappointed. But while watching the movie, I got a lot to think about the other aspects of the movie and about myself.
The movie is about a guy who is told by doctors that he has just 3 months to live because of stomach cancer.So, he tries to finish few of his important dreams in those 3 months.
Now, I already have a list of "things that I want to do" like the one made by the hero of movie (and no its not because of any doctor :P). But he could (or in fact had to) complete all his items in just 3 months, whereas I don't think I would be able to complete even one of items in my list in that much time.
Do I lack motivation? Am I too lazy? Or such things happen in movies only?
Am not sure but this is the first time that a movie has given me motivation to start working towards something positive. Lets see if I can follow with some actual actions also.
The second thought that came to my mind was how the same person, who couldn't do all those things earlier, was able to do most of them very easily after knowing that he has just three more months to live!
So, am thinking about how many such "pending tasks" do I myself have. Things that am not doing just because of laziness or because I am afraid that I won't be able to do them whereas in reality they are very easy to finish! Should give this thought some time I guess.
Dasvidania for now :)


Hello dear visitor!

Some time ago I bought my own domain name. So, now at least the address will not change.

After leaving college, I have never been regular on my blog, and its not because of lack of time. But, I always want to continue blogging, so here is hoping that this time it will be regular...
