Sipping on a chat with AB recently..
I was ranting on how things werent shaping up as it should have been. At one point of time when there was a faint light in a distance, and I managed a small smile. She indicated that you should feel good about it, for it is an achievement by itself, make a scene, let people know, treat urself.
as I was pondering over it, I realised that my perception of success is binary, maybe I should realise there is a lot between the 1 and the 0. I will.

Grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, the courage to change things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

A befitting end to a great day. Amen

Here's a football joke...do not abuse me if the facts are wrong..remember, it is just a joke, not sacrilege against soccer
The Japanese, Korean and Chinese footballers pray to god to find out their chances of qualifying for the world cup. The Japanese go first and ask about their chances, god says maybe after 25 years. The Japanese are so upset that they start crying
Next, Koreans ask god about their chances, he says maybe after 50 years. This upsets the Koreans so much, that they arent able to contain their dismay and tears.
The Chinese footballers go next and on the wake of Japan's and Korea's dissappointment anticipated the worst case scenario. They asked god when they will be able to qualify for the world cup finals.GOD STARTED BAWLING!!!!
This joke was told to me by my Chinese colleague who was deeply upset by her country's non performance. She asked me whether India played good football and what their chances were. The eternal optimist that I am, I just smiled but did not mention about the time god had a nervous breakdown when the Indians posed the same question.

For starters, views expressed in this post as well as subsequent posts (if I bring myself to write any) are solely mine and does not reflect anyone's opinion or anything else. I know it doesnt really make a difference because people rarely read disclaimers but what gives.
Finally I managed to write my first post. I decided on this title after a exhaustive elimination process ( some of the titles which made it, but rejected to avoid duplicate included sine-qua-non( my fave), ephemeral panacea so on and so forth). But this word remained indelible since it reflected my perspective on awareness and expression.
Zeitgeist is a german phrase which means spirit of time. I will let wikipedia take over from here in elucidating more about it.

I remember telling SS that blogging's for software professionals, and they get paid for it. It was meant as a joke and not to ruffle some feathers. I humbly ate my words after following a lot of writing over the last few months. I was moved, inspired, angered, amused and motivated by a lot of them, which made me realise there is more to blogging than knowing about how someone's colleague picks his nose and slurps his coffee.
I percieve the writing I follow as a reflection of an individual's character and spirit,indefatigable in their own way. This is why I decided to be part of the zeitgeist.
Do I have to do this? I'll know the answer soon..till then let me wallow.
This post is dedicated to my jawan buddy, who knew what he wanted and worked his way to get it. Lieutenant body, we are proud of u.
