(This post is re-produced in entireity from my friend Big Merw's post in FB coz i thought it was a brilliant post and totally echoed my sentiments)
"In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and He wants us to be with Him in Heaven.
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me. I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. HE wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity. We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense. Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.
The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character
I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore.
Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life.
No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.. (kind of like the yin and yang philosophy)
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems: If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life. Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder.
We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity? Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)? When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings"
SO friends what ever shit u think u r in its just a test for ur character and ur goals are just getting closer......No matter what it is u need the whole universe is there to help u...just open up and see.......
Take care and enjoy every moment life offers u!!!!!!!

Flunk your engineering for the sake of your life
there is an underground saying amongst engineers. You are not a true engineer unless and until you have faced at least one back in your career. Well, I can say I am a true engineer in that sense...After all, I had three!!! :)
adversity truly teaches you like no other life situation. Unless and until you are faced with dire straits , how would you know how to conduct yourself, gather the pieces of one's life and move on to bigger and better things and achieving long term success and growth. Failure is just one of those dire straits. It's not possible to be having immense good luck and fortune all the time. Life is such that by the law of averages, you will have to face bad times at some point. and if you are one who hasn't faced any sort of tough situation before, chances are that you could just crumble under the pressure. So the faster you are exposed to failure, the better.
Flunking in engineering taught me a lot of things. It helped to prioritize work, helped me to figure out time management, helped me deal with feelings of being inferior to my peers, and most importantly how to deal successfully that with tough situations and come out as a winner. Not that I have achieved anything mindblowing in my life yet, but it has made me confident enough to think that i would be able to survive the toughest of adversities and come out alive.
of course, its a jungle out there and only the toughest survive while the weak crumble by the wayside. As did quite a few of my peers who fell into holes that they cudnt dig themselves out of , be it with multiple backs resulting in year blocks or other non-academic related holes.
They say that 'Failure is the stepping stone to success.' Don't know who said it but it must have been a wise old man.
Anyways, final point is, dont worry about the crisis that hits you today. coz who knows, it may just change the rest of your future.
Cheers

The corniest lines ever
After yesterday's relatively dark n gloomy post, its time to liven up things a bit. What better way than making fun of myself and a few friends? So here's a post reliving some of the corniest cheesiest lines that I've used/experienced/ heard being used.... :)
Line 5 is a song. The song 'inside out' by bryan adams? Brilliant song, amazing lyrics. A brilliant song to dedicate to budding relationships. The lyrics of this song (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bryanadams/insideout.html) are so outstanding that most of the time no more effort needs to be put in. It works! ;) . Of course, I dedicate this song only to friends that I genuinely like and trust and till date all of the women I have dedicated this song to are awesome friends with me. Athough that might change when they realise that I have dedicated this song to almost all of them ... :)
Line 4 is a line I ve used/heard twice. On a particular occasion, there was this girl who looks absolutely stunning and who had done me an a really big favour. And I went like,'Heaven must be missing an angel, coz U are here on earth with me..!! :) . and btw, just for the record, I absolutely meant it!!
Line 3 is by a friend of mine who when her boyfriend pierced his hand with a safety pin to demonstrate his love for came up with,'U can't hurt this hand .. This hand is not just yours, It is mine as well..!!
Line 2 is a line used on me by one of my former girls. On valentine's day 2000, I had gifted her with a soft toy (teddy bear) which had a lil sign on it saying, 'Be mine'...To that she responded. 'U didnt need to give me a teddy bear saying this...I am already yours...' Today, I laugh in amusement at that line but back then when I was just a kid, it seemed so candy floss romantic!!
Line 1, the supremo, the best ever line belongs to a friend of mine. Its a pretty simple line...Start talking to the girl by any means possible, then gradually one day slip in the line which goes like this,'I am an introvert by nature' But U make me feel so comfortable that i feel absolutely free with you...hehehe...You would think with a line like that no one wud ever buy it....well your wrong..The friend picked up 24 women in 2 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Over n out.....

Modern abuses (explicit content-be forewarned)
well for starters , I feel a lot of rage in me today, so I'll start off quoting of a song by Limp Bizkit which kind of captures my mood right now..
"Break Stuff"
Its just one of those days
When you don't wanna wake up
Everything is fucked
Everybody sucks
You don't really know why
But you want justify
Rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact
Your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away motherfucker
It's just one of those days!!
hehe...that feels better...some times nothing like music and head banging mindlessly to take the edge off..Now to today's topic....I have sworn and used abusive words for as long as I can remember. Right from my 1st standard where i remember using idiot which was the one permissible word allowed by my parents..anything else resulted in us kids (sis/bro/me) having to kneel in front of the altar and solemnly apologise to God and to the recepient of the abuse that we wud never do the same again. Then the word Bastard that made its appearence around age of 10, fuck ard 11, and pretty much all connotations that could be made using these words followed...so u had the f**ckin blowjob, the mother/sisters, the pricks, bitches, cocks, all coming in...all adding immense colour to my language...it of course helped to be in engineering where swearing in every sentence was almost a must. Poor Leticia being the only girl had to bear the brunt of listenin to every possible english,konkani and English bad word possible for 4 years. :)
Well, being the abuse connousier that I am , here's my favourite list of innovative abuse words:
1) sterilised penis of a rabid dog: This sounds absolutely amazing in Konkani but unfortunately I dont possess the prowess of Levlin who invented this abuse back in engineering to counter Amey Panvelkar's patented ....-->
2) Badkachi vavti fudd.... This is such a disgusting abuse that non-konkani knowers would be better off not knowing the translation... :)
3)Kalchi kuslele kodi: for the vegeterian abusers , this one is nice ...Literally translated it means Yesterday's spoilt curry...It came in very handy whilst dealing with an extremely spoilt brat of a girl who though no end of herself... :)
4)KLPD: for the full form, all you need to do is JFGI... (Just fuckin google it).. just the very thought of it makes u balk..at least the guys would... :)
5)For an east meets west abuse, none better than Nick's patented, you fuckin bhench**t...for some reason its much more easier to type in fucking rather than hindi/konkani abuses which sound twice as worse... :)
6) The black hole: no prizes for guessing what this refers too,,,and ppl from the kerala trip who were on the balcony wud not forget the context in which i used it either especially the person who i referred to in it..
7) The blood sucking parasite:used to refer to certain people who can do nothing other than suck the life out of u one drop at a time...
thats all i can think of right now...i guess I may lose all friends who used to view my blog, if any after this one... :) ...so i guess I better get started next on the corniest one liners/ love lines that I have used/heard used....:)
