My Lucky bill!




I got this two dollar bill in 2007...and ever since I carried it along and it has proved lucky to me!Well I faintly remember its association with St Patrick's day and lady luck ;-) I suppose the two dollar bills are not that widely circulated and the US Govt stopped printing it in 2003.
Ever since, I had been carrying this note for all my important events, tests ;-) and yeah its been proving me lucky..Thank you for I am able to accomplish what i wanted to..but for one...! Not too far away..I guess!!
Here, I would like to borrow these lines from Robert Frost..

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep....

Long ago!


<
I had to write my marketing paper on Boeing and so I was researching on the internet and I found this funny Ad on Scientific American from its Sep 1952 issue.My favorite part is the caption: “Solving a dynamics problem with THE Boeing Computer”. THE Boeing computer? What just the one? Do they all have to share? Funny...!

National Marathon 2010


Just four months left for the National Marathon..so guys tie your shoe laces and start your practices.
Now that you have decided to go in for a long distance race it is important to follow a schedule more sharply and if necessary flip days around in a week if you have to study late nights.

It is critical to strength train and to stretch after running and become more flexible and supple else with long distance strides generally being shorter than the sprint strides, range of motion gets more limited as our muscles in the lower body get more taut and thick and strong. There are lots of point of view on stretching but I would urge you to err on the side of stretching rather than avoiding it.

For training schedules and registering for practise please go to the following link:

Christmas Hols!!

Traveling has always been part and parcel of my life. Not just because of my work, but I always loved it. I was the first kid at home to leave home and go on holiday trips all by myself. ever since, the travel bug had bitten me..I had always been on the go!
Boy oh boy, am i not happy about it!!

Well right now am so excited because i am going to spend my Christmas vacations at Europe. My base would be Germany as i shall be staying with my sister. Well, the most exciting part is that I am going drive all around Europe.Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain....I am trying out all the permutations and combinations cos I 'm busy chalking out my route map!! woo hoo!! am so happy about it. Perhaps the excitement before the trip is so good that once the trip commences..it ends so fast..anyways the mere thought of it makes me so glad!!

Endeavors


Life is nothing but a log of all endeavors... some of that is achieved and some that has not been achieved. But the beauty of life is that, not all that is achieved makes one feel happy and not all that is not achieved makes you unhappy...for it is the endeavor that matters!
Today when I ask myself the question, I feel glad for I have never left a stone unturned. At times I get ridiculed by my own questions if I was hitting against a wall, but I reassure myself by saying that I have'nt done anything wrong, it is just the perception which could have gone wrong. So with that in my mind I still would endeavor to strive for my goal.
Anyways, if only life was so easy as ABCD...there wouldnt have been so much of spice in life. Definitely, the time would come, when the people concerned would understand the truth...and I am waiting for that day to come...and I shall wait forever...
