I like exaggerated people.
Not people who exxagerate.

'Why didn't you invite me earlier?':

Excerpt from an interview with Mark Knopfler:
[...]
...."Do you believe honest plug-in-and-play music can survive technological advancements, software, DJs?
Yes, because creativity will always outpace technology."

Couldn't agree with him more.

My comp tries it often but can never get quirky enough to find creative reasons not to work like I do.

Stevie- Thanks for getting the job in Mumbai dude, I always needed free accomodation at a posh place in Bandra.
I already have a Stan Chart card so don't try to pitch one to me, you can of course try and get my balance cancelled!

Congratulations, hope you have a lot of fun in Standard Chartered.

Oddity

Hope you have a lot of fun at Ranbaxy, I dont know enough of my interactions with the company to crack some sad jokes.

Have fun in Dilli.

A recurring fantasy
To just quit everything
To quit everything that I am ever comfortable with
To quit the job, the relationships, the ambitions, the passion for work

Just quit everything.

Make a little hut on top of a snow capped mountains, with higher peaks around it.
Be happy serving hot tea to the trekkers from world over
Live with small little farm behind the house

I say: What else do I need?
She says: Not much I guess.
I say: Then why the hell is it so tough to do?
She says: How many of your fantasies have you ever lived?
I say: hmm... not many... a few mini-fantasies, I guess
She says: There you have the answer.
I say: So, I am condemened to live the life of the "blissfully bored"
She says: You are condemned to live the life that you chose for yourself.

Vish Kanya

I love the way this babe speaks and rhymes and chimes.

Dreams vs ambitions
Love vs passion
Adventure vs comfort

I am the happiest when the twain meet.

He says: I am not in a good frame of mind.
She says: May be you should change the picture.

She says: I wonder sometimes if it is ok to read someones blog without telling them - it is like infringing thieir personal space.
He says: It is is not my personal space
It is a public facade of my personal space
I will only post stuff which either I dont mind your seeing it or when I want you to see it.
Stuff which I dont want people to hear will be said in a closed room of an empty house at the top of my voice, shouting, with music playing at its highest
A vain attempt to not make me hear what I am saying
A refusal to to accept that I need the release.

So a blog is nothing but an to impress myself.

She says: Do you always talk so much?
He says: You dont like it?
She says: Oh come of it!!

It is unfair.

Polyglut, get well soon.

The New York Times> Opinion > Op-Ed Contributor: How Wall Street Learns to Look the Other Way: "Consider financial theory, the cornerstone of modern business education. The mathematical theory that has developed over the decades has proved extremely valuable in general. But when it comes to individuals, the theory runs into some problems. In effect, it portrays people as nothing more than 'maximizers' of their own 'expected utility.' This means that people are expected to be totally selfish, constantly calculating their own advantage, with no thought of others. If the premise is that everyone would steal the silverware if he knew he could get away with it, and if we spend the entire semester developing the implications of this assumption, then it is hard to know where to begin to talk about ethics. "

-----------------------------------------
True. We are taught or we wanted to learn to become maximizers of expected utility to self. When ensure that the utility increases for the company so that the company maximizes the reward to me.
Is that really bad?
The fact that I am asking the question speaks volumes about how I have been willing co-opted by the maximize-unto-self theory.
I still dont think it is bad.
I need another MBA.
A different one.

Let's say I get a more idealistic MBA. Would it change the fact that when I go to buy a home theatre, I hope I made more than what I make now? I guess not.

Idealism sounds good, Bose sounds better.

A new day
A new week
A new role
Kinda new house
A new car
A new team

And there was...
A good yesterday
A busy week
A role that I enjoyed very much
A 4 month old car
An awesome and interesting team.

She says: How are you doing?
I say: Never been better, having a lot of fun.
I say: Was it ever any different?
She says: ... And you think that is good?
