What do YOU want to do?

A rather uncomfortable question for anybody. Forget about "Introduce yourself....". You can weave your own web of imagination at the interviews....but this is one self interview question to which I have always failed to come up with a convincng enough answer.
One easy answer would be...making lots of money, finding happiness in life, marrying a REAl hottie ;) and most of the other things which you would have heard of.
But what is your real purpose in life?
Like for instance...as far as I am concerned right now..crackin CAT this year would be my first priority. Fast forward a few years....gettin a job with a fat paycheck....a few more years down the line...expanding the family business, make loads of money..live life happily. I guess this is what I want to do. But does it answer my question? What am I here for? What will make me happy?
I guess I am thinking too much too early in my life. Cant seem to help it when I am in one of those What? Why? When? moods.....I think its high time I got myself a coupla beers :)
Meanwhile, you can try answering my question...WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO IN LIFE?

Some images that capture the essence of India!
I felt a strange-cant be described feeling when I saw these for the first time.
More to follow later!

Bored of routine?

Boring...that is one way I can describe my life in the past few weeks. True, the 'usual suspects' would put their hands up and say I get bored of things too easily...but whatever man...the fact remains. There are times when I would be craving to do something, but more often than not end up getting bored of it after a couple of go's. I am impatient. I want things to happen fast.( I am a slouch though!)
Well, right now I am bored of this topic....
News from Chennai...two of my best buddies left for the US today, adding two more to an already lengthy list.
I am planning to give CAT a shot this year. Have signed up for Mock tests with TIME. And am attending another free test with Career Forum tomorrow.Am desperately hoping to start preparing for CAT, which I guess can relieve a bit of my boredom.
Just got back from Speed ( a pub in Chennai). I consider going there every Saturday boring too. Well, I havent got bored of alcohol yet ;)
Highlight of the day: Watching the Pink Floyd Pulse DVD at home with Loki, Cash and Loose. Loki me and Coming Back to Life share an amazing bond. \m/

Business as usual....

Time mismanagement is an art....and its the only art am good at!
Took years of practice and toil....to be where I am now. Infact, I should have been there yesterday!
I am really pathetic at keeping time. That is one sentence Ive got used to now. Glimpses of the genius in me started showing by the time I was in 9th or 10th. Actually it is pretty embarrassing if I think about it now. I was late to get ready and my dad missed out on the group snap on his 25th year College reunion. It still hurts :(
Over the years, however hard I tried, I was always late. ALWAYS.
There have been rare occassions where I have been on time and trust me...its such a good high:)
All my friends would have had rather fond memories of the movies where we walk in some 10 mins late....and its a point I still would love to debate. They always blame it on me!
And nowadays, I am late to work everyday! The story never ends. The saga continues.
Yours ever latefully,
Ram
