As I was idling this Sunday morning, I decided to check my email and I saw an old friend online on Yahoo IM. We both realized that it's been long that we have met..may be for an year or so... whereas there was once a time we have spent hours together. Life has changed since then for both of us, since those old times, but when I met him today, it seemed to me the same old time.
We actually got on to a interesting discussion over lunch which fuelled me into writing this blog. We started talking about an ancient science called 'narishashtra' practiced by few locals, somewhere around Hyderabad. If we were to be believed, some old hermit has written and predicted the life of all the humans born or going to be born. This is written on palm and coconut leaves and is identified based on the pattern of lines on your thumb. Sounds a con, but my friend shared his wierd experience and it was quite hard to believe.
The debate we got into was, if we needed to know our future or should we know our future. He felt that we should, since then we can adjust our present accordingly. However, I felt it isn't important, since the way I see life, is live today...take life as it comes. Stop worrying about what is gonna happen in future, just live your present. As they say, yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystry...so very true.
I know I haven't been writing much over the last few months, though I have tonnes to talk about, but then, it just didn't work out. I am getting myself too busy with work and fun these days. This evening would be another busy one...with cricket, football, tennis and formula one lined up all evening, all the way till 3 AM in the morning, however, I can flip channels only till midnight, have a long gruelling week ahead of me, looking at me and smiling.
I got a moral victory this week when I got something, which I knew was mine but some people thought it wasn't. So they tried and tried really hard and when nothing worked out, it was all in mess, I was called upon to take it up and I guess I cleared the first challenge with my team. The next week would be pretty demanding both personally as well as professionally as I have to play in a couple of professional and one personal field.
Oh yes, it's the last week for the third decade of my life as I step into the fourth, already seen life from nail to toe. However, I am sure there are lots in future to see and I am looking forward to this new decade of my life. I don't know how it is going to be, but I am sure it would be one of the most important decade of my life and would shape the rest of my life. Hence, at times I feel I need to plan a few things - health, wealth, job and partner. I believe in God and I always pray to him to bless me in making the right decisions, since I believe, that my destiny is in my hand, and hence my decision is going to shape it.
