It was very very very nice talking with Dad, ended up giving him some suggestion/advice on happiness and about how we can only do somethings in our control and that we cannot control others and their selfish intentions and mentality.
We have to just let them go and live our own life and find happiness in the things we do to live our life. Because of his own un-happiness and expectation from my kid brother, he ends up been unhappy and in turn increases the unhappiness of my mom and then the whole house is unhappy and in the process causing problems to his own health.
Life is not worth wasting thinking about people and trying to change their selfish behavior. They will not change, they will only make us look more guilty and blame us for their anger and interfering in their selfish objectives.
Hope he understood what I was trying to tell him. But it was a good heart to heart talk after a very long time.
Was a great hike, and it was great to see one of the guys on the hike saving a little baby turtle that got stuck in an abandoned fishing rod. poor thing was struggling to free itself, god only knows for how long.
Then went to princeton Uni museum , it was a good learning exp on ancient cultures.
After that we all went to indian restaurant cross culture.
got back home tired and watched the brazil portugal football world cup final for under 20.
Now the big Q, should I got for todays hike,,, cloudy skies, might as well go.

Aug 19, 2011, Friday, Weekend
Friday, Aug 19, 2011.
ITs weekend, and so much to write.. will try writing it in parts.
Trying to re-organize my life, trying to get the some good energy flowing in my apt. Just read and got the book with Feng shui on the different adjustments that can be done at home, more like vasthu in the indian context.
Just got my first fish burger from Costco and it seems to be ok. not sure about it full benefits as opposed to the salmon curry I make.
five days of 7:30pm to 10:30 pm of webinars have been exhausting.
Hopefully by next week there will be more stability in my life.
hope I can go to Princeton university museum tomorrow. Always a very good learning exp for me about the past of our world at the museums .
Would be nice to meet someone who has similar inclination to share life with.

Aug 17, 2011 , new day of FEELING POSITIVE Energy
Tuesday, Aug, 17 2011
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. :)
