There are only 2 perfect solutions – 1. You control everything in the world or 2. You control yourself for everything in the world!

I did not have a car back in 1996 and I badly wanted one. It would be 3 more years before I would get my first car. In one of those moments of wanting one, I wrote this back then.

Do you remember – ?

the days when you struggled to get it..
and the nights when you dreamed about it?

Those roads you walked on.. the taxis you hired..
the cabbies you fought with, and the car-owners you admired?

The distances without those 2 pairs of wheels..
the suns you faced and walked after heavy meals?

do you really remember..?

that occasional rain and their cars splashing water..
your umbrella, the heavy bags and your drenched sweater?

They rode the highways.. warm in their cars..
when the streets at night, were cold below the stars..

oh.. do you still remember all of it..?

the pain, the longing, the desire, for that car..
yes, the one you always saw, but the one that looked so far?

yes I know it too, I really do.. because, I am still without a car!

Misery can make a poet out of a moron if it strikes the right chords!

I tell computers what to do today so that they can tell me what to do tomorrow.

Never judge people if your mind can’t act as two opposing lawyers at the same time.

I hate definitions.. I think a Definition is something that tries to show off real or fictitious complexity of the term that it is trying to define!

An idle mind is somebody’s workshop.. so here is what I was thinking during my week-long vacation.

• Vacation for a family man, to me, is just like a tip of balance between his office work and house work!
• After centuries of civilized living, at least some potty training should’ve got inscribed into the human DNA!! I am waiting for that generation when babies won’t need diapers. They will be potty trained at birth!! Unfortunately that’s not my son’s generation
• Accidents happen when space and time align themselves perfectly in favor of your bad luck..
  
• Vacations always seem too short on their last day!

I believe life is all about assumptions.. the biggest of them is being alive the next moment!
