A New day begins, its 1:30am , I am awake, excited and feeling charged. Adrenaline flowing thru, heart beating.
Am I the luckiest person in the world or what. whoooo could complain.
Things change in life so fast and so suddenly you realise. Just like the mnk who sold his Ferari and went off in search of the true meaning. just like Gautam buddha who gave up been a great prince and became a monk.
My life with not that big a drama is still filled with so many changes that seem to come out of nowhere and taking me in directions I never ever imagined.
All I had when I got out of college was to have a steady job, maybe a 1 bedroom house and a vehicle to travel and to be married to a sweet and nice gal who would love me as much as I love her.....
But.... hehehe,,,,, so many different turns, so many different temptations, so many curve balls, so many home runs,
so many different tones and vibrations of sounds,
so many different sense of touch and feel,
so many different beautiful colors and sights,
so many different tastes,
so many different fragrances
So many shades that seem to enliven my 5 senses.
Learning lesson at every step, growing from the experience by analyzing the past and Vinning by not repeating the same mistakes of the past.
every mistake,
if taken with full responsibility,
is another great tool, towards gaining knowledge and wisdom.

Was completely taken in by Chayya, the name so stuck out and it was like been hit between the eyes, bulls eye. One look at her pic and it was like I have known her for ever and have been waiting for someone like her.
Curly hair, intensely sincere eyes and smile with a disarming calmness and peace about her. Lets see how it will go, will we be able to connect eternally or will this be another head fake.
It was good chatting with Raj after a long time and then thinking of our friend Prince who passed away in an accident this week a few years ago. He was a very nice guy.
Latter in the evening was in the 3 hrs online course that I will be in for the whole week... 3*5 == 15 hrs
And now attending another secession on Chaos to Control..... might as well take advantage of all the free courses thanks to the company.

It was nice talking with parents for a long time.
Feel guilty that I am here and they are alone there. Have to see how this all works out in the next few days or months with the Job scenario becoming so uncertain.
Was good reading some books at Borders and feel a bit more focused. Just the hesitation in me or my thinking in aspiring for the world of luxury and security. But surely do need it to feel more at peace and not have to worry about my next meal and shelter.
Only those who have fallen down to the bottom know how bad it can get, with nothing and no one to turn to, only my own will power to brave thru the life of financial lows and insecurities of ending up on the street and almost ending up there. It is very scary thinking about it.
Heading off to my fav temple to pray.

Aug 12 2011, Friday-- VALUES
Friday, Aug 12 2011.
Had two great days of salsa dancing around philly. connected with some rare people in strange ways.
Yesterday the live music stood out, did not feel that much in van, but this one in the casino just got me going, sad that the floor got too crowded for me to try more dancing.
Got to dance a very good bachata with nicol, it was very flattering after that to have her come ask me to dance a few times. And she is so sweet with a sense of humor. Just her body piercings freaking me out a bit. Other than that, she is so pretty, cute and seems to have the softest body.....hmmmm, never knew anyone who is so soft.
Genuine respect will come about if we have more contact with one another and come to understand each other’s values. This is how we will develop admiration and appreciation for each other. - Dalai Lama
VALUES, that is the core. Some people are not lucky to have had good role models in their parents and probably were neglected during the growing phases (eg Eva). Well all I can do is pity her and hope she does not end up doing the same to her kids or worse case not end up giving her kids the same sick, crooked, lying, cheating values she developed and seemes to think is fine.
Hmmmm it was funny, I kept repeating that we have very different values of morality as human beings and yet was hoping like every fool in love that she would be able to realize what I was telling her about her dark side. Good lesson learnt in human behavior and not to confuse reality with hope. :)
Same is true with Malini, she seem to have the values of the french queen, let the peasants eat cake. Well again the same case of growing up with misplaced values of selfishness of the sick snobbish rich. Its surely not her mistake that she was born very rich, with servants and people to do all her things and not care about the poor hard working people. She just assumes that poor people are lazy and are people who do not like to work and hence they need to be treated bady, arrogantly and dis-respectfully. How could someone think so lowly about a whole class of working people is something I am not even able to imagine.
IT was funny to hear her say, even her mom does not know to cook. And her inability to be able to live a simple life. Always wanting only first class hotels and stuff. Tooooo much of a princess.
And I have cousins who are much richer than her and who love to cook for the family. The most surprising fact, they know to cook all kinds of world food, even thou they never traveled to those countries. Just from reading books and talking with their friends.
So I guess good parents are hard to come by who would teach their kids Values and hard, honest working ethics. Which in turn teaches them about respecting other creatures in our world.
Two examples of extreme life styles but united in common low Values of lying and cheating.
Thank god and the universe for giving me parents and grand parents who guided me with good values. Hopefully I will be able to practice it to the full extend of their teaching.

Aug 11 2011, God, Gold and Indians
Thursday, Aug 11, 2011
It is fascinating to see the western analysts wondering why the price of gold is going up and why Indians and Chinese are buying all the gold.
You cannot eat Gold or use it for many industrial purposes..!!???
Tell that to the ones who are hard-wired to hoard gold jewellery. The Indians and the Chinese.
Their Hoarding mentality is something that the people in the west fail to understand.
In the west, people believe in spending, improving their living standards there by contributing to the development activities and there by having liquidity in wealth.
But the Indians believe in hoarding and not much investment in the development and improving their living standards. Thats why they appear poor and seem to have sub-standard living compared to their western counter-parts.
But don't be fooled, its not because they are poor (thou they appear to be), they are rich, their riches are stocked up in Gold and jewellery. They just don't have the inclination to invest in development and improving their living standards and been liquid financially.
Those among them who have broken away from the traditional thinking have become richer (appearance wise) or have learnt the art of diversified investment into development. Goes with out saying that about 50 percent of the worlds 10 richest people are from the 3rd world countries.
Every one that gets married is showered in Gold presents of Bangles and Chains. On a conservative count, even if 0.10 percent of Indians get married, thats about 500,000 brides in India alone who on a average need about 2 kgs of gold. (also some percent of jewels are passed down from parents).
So when people say that the demand is about 30% more than the supply of gold. It only makes gold go up higher.
And given the fact that Aug to Nov is the peak marriage and festival season, its just going to go up.
I would take a major catastrophic in the Asian region to bring down the demand of gold.
Then comes the collapse of the Europeans. The brits, french, spanish, portuguese have all been enjoying the wealth they looted and plundered from the hard working people of the colonies. And now after living like spoilt brats they are now waking up to face the reality, with greece already screwed up, next in line Spain and france.
I hope the day soon comes when I get to see the economies of France and UK collapse and all those sick snobbish bastards in Europe are made to work hard for a living and earn their bread. They have been partying for quite long on the stolen goods from India.
The future of France will be known by next week. keeping fingers crossed for it collapse. And soon the rest of Europe. :)

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow - Chinese proverb :)
that was a nice proverb.
Too many things happening towards the down side. Getting scared of the future, reminded of the lows of 2008. Hope that I will be able to pull thru.
Not sure about the job anymore, as there has not been any contact with anyone so far.

Thinking about lifes purpose, Spreading Goodness Around. Makes me feel a bit more motivated and energized. Its a very unselfish thought, idea and action. Reflecting back, I am glad to that I was able to get ride of many selfish, self-centered people, who were doing nothing but suck lifes energy out of me.
Hooraaah! to that and thank you god.
To hell with them and their life. Please keep such filthy creatures away from me and my life.
Now to get ready and head out for some wonderful hike with someone beautiful :)
