Motivation Matters !!!

What if someone offers you $20 to walk on a wooden plane of 20 ft. long and 2 ft. wide lying on the ground. Will you? Think!
What if that wooden plane is placed in between two 20 story buildings on top. Will you still walk? Think!
And what if it is placed in between two 20 story buildings on top and your kid is stucked in the second building on fire. Will you now? Think!
Motivation matters !!!

My friend Gopu..

India had a dramatic win today over Aussies in first warm match of WC2011. The first wicket was taken by Sreesanth who got lucky to get in WC squad after Praveen Kumar got injured. Leading fast bowler Aashish Nehra's run up was looking like someone trying to reduce weight by walking in park and Munaaf has been and will always be hopeless while Gopu (Sreesanth's nickname) was as usual aggresive and took the first and important important wicket of Watson. Though a little undisciplined before Sreesanth has put himself in Game now and had performed well today. I wonder why some people have problem with aggression of Sreesanth??? I ADMIRE IT. Infact, aggression is requisite after talent to win over strong oppositions in sports. It is better to try and fail but not try at all, Sreesanth does put 100%. I doubt selector's decision to rank him below lousy Nehra and lazy Munaf. I suggest he shall be ranked 2nd fast bowler after Zak in this WC. Critics and pros are welcomed.

Apart from this, Dhoni's performance today with three stumpings was at par too. If you recall Nayan Mongia you will appreciate his performance even more, its like we have to run frame six time faster when Nayan did a stumping as compared to Dhoni's normal speed to make it look even. Gauti and Yuvi should find their form soon. Bhajji shall continue his performance.

Though not very promising but let's hope this win do boost India's confidence in this WC since entire nation is hoping God of Cricket (no need to say I am talking about Sachin) shall be counted at least once in WC winning squad. Talking about Aussies, we need Bhajji, Yuvi and Gopu to bring them on their knees.

I did make big deal out of things...

I gave too much importance to the things when I was pursuing them, but once I have them I have realized there is not much of difference in the world now and before. Everything around me is same. Overdreaming is in my habit.

To reach here I had turned things upside down in my life, sometimes I wonder what if I have let my life flown as it is. I would never know how it was meant to be. Why did I make big deal out of things...

As a human, I would never run out of the things I can pursue. I still have the choice of letting my life flow or to intervene. I am wondering, am I making big deal out of things?

London

Hurray!!! I got one of my wish list item, visiting abroad. I am here in London. So far so good, I have found London to be global. Visiting Oxford Street on Boxing Day was a good experience. It made me realize a sale is sale whether in London or Noida. Though 10 days leave at the start of an onsite assignment was bit difficult to digest, no group of friends around to hang out I still had a good time, met couple of old buddies, made some new and visited few places. Fireworks at London Eye was a experience of its kind, after standing four hours straight with icy cold weather it was worth waiting. Over the next few weekends I am planning to visit some famous places. Last week I visited Madame Tussuad's museum, what a place you can get yourself pictured with stars, good thing is they don't move and you can get as many pictures as you want.

The best of part of the city is nobody bothers what you are up to as long as you are not offending someone. London has customs of its own. Its very unlike of how people taunt of west as "open-cultured" back home. People are very broad-minded but well cultured. If somebody gets in your way even at tube station they will say 'sorry'. Sneezing and coughing in office is awkward. You can kiss on the road but don't dare to stare at someone. Nobody on the job is servant here, they are all here to help.

I arrived here in winters. It dawns at 7.30 am and sets at 3.30 pm, short days. I am enjoying each one of them. Signing off as of now, will write back whenever feel to do so. Of course, I can not write all the funny things we do here ;)
