Coasting Along...

I am in an existential phase these days. Living for the moment kind of stuff. As if I was ever the visionary. Infact I have never thought beyond a couple of weeks bar a few momentus occasions in my life. I am more the "take life as it comes" kind of a guy. But its always good to start a blog emphatically, it gives the reader that sense of greatness. All Bull!

So to the existensial things that crave for my attention these days, in no cronological or any specific kind of order for that matter of fact.

Shares : Good portion of my work day. And minor portion of the remaining is spent on various sites in further varying degrees of information on the latest in stocks. In one of those bar occasions that I think of the future, I see myself chucking this I(dio)T job and retiring to this crazy market governed life. I keep reminding my biwi on my ideas of retiring early and she keeps shrugging them off like Federer lobbing his opponents ball for clean winners. My dear wife, I just might prove to be your Nadal on clay off course!!

Guitar : The quinessential pass time, major source of bouts with my biwi and a source of eternal happiness for me. Trying to play out a few Indian Classical Ragas on it these days. With help from my dad sending in mp3's from India to listen and learn from and a few youtube videos here and there. Quiet a mix. The conflict arising from the fact that the guitar equally competes for my attention with neha. Well, so many fans so little time!! But she rules eventually, because she has the power of emotions you know.

My beloved wife Neha : This ones a shade too existential, infact my existense depends on her. Literally. Perennial source of pleasure and pain. I am a non efficient, lazy bum in her eyes and she consistently tries to straighten me out, but me ever the survivor, prevail with my lazy ways. The battle rages on !!

Add to that a few blogs that I follow, occasional movies, card playing sessions with neha, and regular "against my wish" visits to the Mall, that about sums it all.

Not bad at all, huh ??
