Fly Away...

I saw this beautiful video today called Glósóli, and wanted to share it with you all. I don't know what message this video conveys or if twas made for any special reason but I liked the music and the video very much. I was wondering what its actual purpose could be, 'cause everything is made for a cause right. When I see it, it just fills me up with new hope and belief, belief that I can achieve anything if I set my mind to it. That even I can fly.
Watch it guys and tell me your views about it. What do you think of it? FYI Glósóli is icelandic for "Glowing Sun".

Info: This music video is by Sigur Ros performing Glósóli with Nicola Doring, Arni and Kinski. (C) 2005 Geffen Records.

Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less

I just finished reading the book Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less By Jeffrey Archer, and what a good read it was. This is Jeffrey Archer's first book and reminds me of those plays of Shakespeare's that I used to read, especially 'All's well that ends well' and 'Comedy of errors' (Although, I must say that you may not have the same experience as I did).
It didn't feel like one of those regular novels, and was a very welcome change. Its a short story (time frame wise), the main plot spanning a little over a couple of months unlike Archer's other books which usually span over generations. It has a lot of drama, suspense and yeah a lot of comedy, especially the last few chapters.
I can sum up the whole plot with this one sentence taken from the book "Stevie, don't get cross, get even", which prompts the creation of the whole plot. I hope you, book enthusiasts, will read it if you haven't already and I assure you, you will enjoy it.

Inane Ramblings ...

Hey guys, I hope you all had and are still having a wonderful weekend. I didn't do much myself. Did a lot of reading, watching movies and yeah a lot of thinking. About the past, present and the future. I know that there's not much meaning or any purpose in this post, but I just wanted to write what was in my mind.
I was very ambitious in my teen years. I was very creative and had so many ideas and even made some of them come true. I can confidently say this 'coz I did receive that compliment from someone who was a very good friend at that time.

Somewhere down the lane I lost it. I became like so many other stereotype people who are very ordinary without any creativity, who can never think out of the box. I stopped drawing and painting which were my favorite hobbies. I stopped reading books, lost sight of my dreams and goals.

Better to ask twice than to lose your way once.

When I came to the US, I had made up my mind that I should start a fresh life, get back into doing everything I liked to do, but the pressure and stress of school here didn't give me the liberty to do everything I wanted though. I started reading books, had new dreams and goals, had some new ideas and I did pretty well then I had anticipated in school. I finished school soon and started working, but now what.
Today I look back and think of so many things that I could have or actually should have done. I think of the lost chances and hopes when I should have made better decisions and should have stood my ground. Maybe thats what life is about, isn't it? Its never fair to everyone, infact didn't I tell earlier once that it's never fair in your favor. But yeah past is past and you should never dwell in it, you should only learn from it and make sure you don't repeat the same mistakes. Ever again.
And I would like to tell you this one thing, may sound strange but still, you should never live in the future as well. It's not wrong to have dreams and goals, but you should not live in those dreams and let them spoil you present for you. Yes 'present', that is where you should spend your life, don't lament the past and don't worry about he future, just enjoy the present. Its a difficult thing to master, but am still trying.
Wow, I am surprised how this post turned out to be, can't believe where I started and ended :). Anyways as the title suggests, these are just inane ramblings that are going on in my head at 'present'. I just wanted to write something, sorry if you think I wasted your time. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Take care.
