To Do or Not to Do !!!

I am one of those sad people who hates the notion of holding a pen.. It looks pretty cool when I say that I am totally out to kill the guy who invented pen but as a side effect of this I always keep forgetting things..one of my friends has a to-do list for everything that he plan on doing (and even not to-do list for all the things he does not plan on doing). 

Yesterday I was telling my friend about all the things I would do if I had the time and money. 

He replied: "I bet you will forget all about them once you are at a stage in life when you can actually do them."

Of course, a man would never accept it, when told that he will forget his dreams.. . So I made a bet with him that I would make a To-Do list in my blog and if by the time I am 50 I had achieved atleast 50% of it... he would help me fulfill one more or I will change the banner of my Blog to "I am a Douchebag"  (seems like an arbitrage to me).

So here I go shooting off about all the things that I want to do before my hairs turn grey and my bones become brittle....

1) Kick ass with a Katana..

2) See the earth from Space...

3) Attend a HUGE Rock Concert and get in a drunken fight

4) Bugee Jumping, Aero Diving and Deep sea Diving

5) Learn how to Fly a plane..

6) Stay in Antartica for a week..

7) Learn to play Lead Guitar (I mean real finger shredding stuff)

8) Watch Nirbhay sing and play guitar on a stage (once is never enough)

9) Play bass on stage with my band...with a Dude singer...soulful guitarist..musically gifted Drummer...and a shitty Bassist

10) Play CS once more with rEd cLan (against the legendary SoS if possible or against the more legendary Black Clan)

11) Go to a some exotic place with Bourgeois (although I am sure I neither have the charisma to make it possible nor am I loved enough to be able to persuade them to come guess I will just hope that they decide to do it themselves)..

12) Beat someone up real bad

13) Travel in a submarine

14) Own a Ferrari..

15) Play football in Stamford Bridge

16) Go on a fishing trip in pacific ocean

I guess that sums up all of it...

maybe some years from now I might lose all of my drive and wishes ....maybe some years from now I might end up as a vegetable waiting for the time when it gets plucked, fried, eaten and thrown away as shit.....but even then I promise that I would still end up fertilising new plants....

But before I do the above I still wanna get thru all of these wishes ...if I am not able to strike out a half of them ...maybe then I deserve to be called a douchebag

..........

I used to hate long hours at office because it did not give me time to think about anything else...

but now I love my long hours at work because it do not give me time think about anything else..

........................

All Ears

A great man (or was it a boy) once told a lesser man (this was definately a man) and lady: 

"I always want to be a team player and never a team leader, because its so lonely as a leader...."

Today when I felt soo lonely..and...I remembered his words

And I wondered if this was a consequesnce of my journey through life....

but I looked around..." I was no leader", "I was worshiped by none", "neither was I adored by another"

I looked at my life passed with a magnifying glass and looked for that moment which made me guilty of 'treason' against my team... (atleast if nothing it might kill the feeling of loneliness)

..I Searched and searched then searched some more....but I found none..

I was almost ready to chuck the thought out, but my mind which had reveled in the greatness of the great man was not ready to discount even an ounce of breath out of his mouth...

So I thought again...and found the fault in the argument....

(it was so simple that the investment banker in me, cried in despair)

Leader = Lonely does not imply that Lonely = leader....

The great man said those words but never said those words implied transitivity

I had never been a leader but had been one of those scum of the earth who had been rejected to isolation

But I still learned something from my loneliness ......

 i.e. U BETTER NOT HEAR WHAT IS NOT SAID TO U

Afterthought:  Somebody said this to me long ago but alas I never heard it

Dance on....you crazy numbers

There used to be a number

At one point of his existance he met other numbers..

They DIVIDED their joys but somehow they MULTIPLIED..

When they were together they lost their LIMITS and went crazy

They were all so AVERAGE yet they were OUTLIERS

They all layed (lied) at EXTREMUMS but they were never alone..

They lied and they cried and lied that they cried but they were always happy..

Their behaviour appeared STOCHAISTIC but that was because they forgot their STATISTICS

To SUM it all up they had a jolly good time

All thy dreams....

Their was a time when I dreamed of being a superman...but god took off with my wings and I never caught the wind..

.and then I decided..tht being a soldier was more exciting but government took away all of my guns..

So my mother told me being an engineer is always better....but then I lost my brains....

Just when I was able to resign myself to worthlessness....my friend told me tht I culd be a writer...but I said i loved my hands...

EPILOGUE

----------------

I become an I banker and loose all my time...

Balloon, River and a giant Pyramid

I always expected a balloon ride over the land of pyramids to be magical.... but never before had my expectations been exceeded so magically..

Mom, Dad & the Pyramid...

When a man laughed and said, " How can anybody ever believe that sky was a single man"...his guide said, "how can anybody ever believe that sky is nothing" 

Did I hear the ancient egyptians laugh....or maybe horus in this temple laughed

And the sun sets yet again.....it may set over nile this time but I would see it rising somewhere else...

P.S. I would return maybe when my waist is as large as a balloon

of flying and crying

"You must be fertilizing the flowers if you are not learning"

Things I learned in last 3 hours:...

1) If you board a flight with a upset stomach your flight jump more than you can digest..

2) If your flight is jumping the infant sitting next to you would try to outjump the flight

3) In a jumpy flight where you think that nothing more can go wrong....the all too tiny child sitting next to you would start crying with his HUGE mouth to show you that u shud still thank god for all the things tht are still rite..

4) If you raise the volume on your headphone the child would also raise his volume propotionately..

5) If you somehow succeed in out-voluming the child on your headphone..pilot would intervene with his announcements to rebalance the equilibruim.

Standing for a charging port

"you can find anything under the sun there", That is what somebody said to me some time back but, here I stand at Dubai airport and still search for a charging-port.

Tht is when some mysterious bearded stranger comes to me and points me to some faraway slot at gate 222...I had to walk around 1 km then ..search for 30 minutes and and there and lo..... I found another bearded man who told me to go back to my gate because the only charging-port on air-port some how got tele-port-ed back

P.S. You still find everything under the sun at Dubai Airport (if you find it)
