The clock's ticking; 30.6% of my life has passed already :-(
[(Your Age)/(Average Life Expectancy)] x 100
I am 23 years old. Assuming I fit the average Canadian male life expectancy of 75.2 years, I feel a sudden rush of discomfort knowing that 30.6% of my life has already passed without making much strides.

As sad as it may sound, I rather take this pessimistic approach to life to help motivate myself to act. I am not afraid of death as much as I am of reaching 60. In business, a small positive return in revenues is considered progress. In life, as minisicule as it may be, a positive step forward is a change in the right direction. That is what I intend on doing: as long as I work towards my goals, I am making progress, however small it may be.

Lesson from Gita: Consider yourself dead for as long as you breath but no one recognizes you.

"If you dont live for something, you'll die for nothing."
Trust me, CO2 is good for you!
As some of us might already know, Greenhouse gases (i.e. CO2) create a blanket over the atmosphere; consequently, trapping incoming heat, from the sun, that were supposed to bounce back to space. The alarming rate at which these gases are being expelled into the atmosphere is increasing rapidly, thanks to humans. In about 60 more years, the world population is estimated to double, I can only imagine what is going to happen then...knowing that I will be dead by then is the only optimisitic view

I can take.Here, one of the world's largest oil corporation, Exxon is actually promoting Greenhouse gases:



Watch the video. These corporations often hire scientists to reach self fulfilling conclusions. The next time you read a newspaper article that cites a corporate source on a subject like global warming, remember this: Corporations dont care what happens to you or your grandchildren. What they care about are the short term profits (aka quarterly profits).

Consumers don't stand up for action when the issue seems debatable. That's exactly what these corporations are trying to do; keeping us confused so that our minds stay numb. With an army of lawyers, lobbyists and billions in cash, they are wining so far.

'Best consumers and workers from a corporate point of view are mindless consumers and mindless workers. Any corporate power is excessive. Corporations shouldn't have power; people - all of us - should have power.'
Oh this new world of ours.....

Oh what is this new worldof the net
where each fish comes under a fake name
to fish other fish
and finally get into the net of their own imagination !

Oh what is this new world
where everything looks so real
and turns out but an illusion melting in nothingness
as the screen closes one window after another
to a world that exists but resists not to anything !

Oh what is this new world
where an old ugly face becomes Cyndrella at the click of a 'mouse'
and a slave is crowned with Prince's title
and one day both are drowned
in the ocean of fake identities created out of thin air.

Oh what is the new world
Where freindship grows, hatred breeds
love flourishes and nothing is left one day
but a blank screen that keeps from you all reality !
Oh what is this world of the internet?
In The Rain

Here I am, in the rain.
With eyes swollen, due to the tears that rolled,
Your love gave me pains,
And sorrows untold.

Like a candle, I sought no gain.
Melted for you, didn’t think twice...
But it’s all blown out, by this rain,
And I ask myself, why did I sacrifice?

Cz u neither saw the tears in these eyes,
Nor do u remember those days,
Alone, no one can hear these muffled cries,
And here I am, alone in the rain.

U said that easily, u found someone new,
And forgot this boy, like leaves shed off the dew.
U say that we shall walk again,
You walked away for sure,
But here I m, still waiting in the rain...
