The Wonder Years....

-
(Found this in my mailbox...and the memories came
flooding back...So good luck reading :) )
 
Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in
diapers, the next day you're gone. But the memories
of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I
remember a place, a town, a house like a lot of
other houses, a yard like a lot of other yards, on a
street like a lot of other streets. And the thing
is, after all these years, I still look back, with
wonder 
 
what would u do if i sang out of tune would u stand
up & walk out on me?
Lend me your ears & I’ll sing u a song
& I’ll try not to sing out of key
 
Love can tear and rip you apart. It can kill you.
But if you're lucky, it can put you back together...
 
When you are a little kid you are a bit of
everything; Scientist, Philosopher, Artist.
Sometimes it seems like growing up is giving these
things up one at a time...
 
...Children leave...and parents stay behind. Still,
some things are deeper than time and distance. And
your father will always be your father...And he will
always leave a light on for you...
 
In your life you meet people. Some you never think
about again. Some you wonder what happened to them.
There are some that you wonder if they ever think
about you. And then there are some you wish you
never had to think about again; but you do...
 
There are times in life when you think you're lost.
When every turn you take seems wrong. Then just for
a moment, you see a light...
 
The day the child realizes that all adults are
imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he
forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he
forgives himself, he becomes wise
 
I guess in a way we are all odd men out ..until we
find a match that makes us even

View Larger Map Dates : 10th June, 2012 to 17th June, 2012 The Dheet-Trekkers :   PP , Manish Kutaula , Khandi, Danish, Upreti , Amit Bisht & yours' truly Dheet7 :  "So what is the secret behind being an expert biker?" Dheet1 : " It’s simple. Just grip the handle firmly, and make sure the bike stays underneath your ass and not the other way round…" How do I find the words to describe this trip of ours? Well, if you’ve ever seen the video of the  headless chicken  on Youtube, you’ll know.  Without our  Sardar , the planner and the shepherd, we were just a bunch of rebels without a clue. But I kid you… The fact is, it was a wondrous trip, immaculately timed (by chance). We not only had our first experience of riding an Enfield in the hills, amidst green valleys and treacherous fog and rain, but we were introduced to a nation that although is considered one of the poorest countries of the world, but where we met some of the most ci

Ctulu dawn....

A belief in the supernatural comes with a weakening of the self…. A long time ago, the earth was a lonely place. The population was too little, the land was too barren, or may be too forested, or too icy and there were wild beasts, for taming animals was not known. It was the treacherous place where only the fittest survived. Man was weak; man was vulnerable; man was helpless against nature. Out there, God was the only protector. Then some wise guy invented the wheel and some other discovered fire, and all that jazz. Populations grew, tribes began to form and civilizations began to happen. God this time, was not just a protector; religion became a way of life for the people, a way of disciplining the masses, a means of suppressing the old animal instincts. Gods were on top of unreachable hills, God was the holy Mother in nature, God was the one supreme power the people bowed down to. The civilizations grew and came into conflict with one another. Powers, wealth and egos grew. An

On Innovation, Or The Lack Thereof

-
Inspite of having the IITs and holding some of the toughest college entrance exams in the world, we in India lag far behind the West when it comes to innovation and invention in the fields of mechanical, civil and electrical engineering. However, we are as good as any other nation, if not better, in innovation in the field of software development. It is worth thinking about what could be the reason why the West is so advanced in these fields whereas we lag behind. Even the R&D departments in our country do little other than validate field results and homologate western technology to suit Indian needs. I was once listening to Steve Via’s for the love of god when it occurred to me what a wonderful piece of engineering laid in the small earphones in my ears. But long before this speaker saw the mechanized mass production in factories, and long before it came to be invented in a laboratory, there must have been someone who must have put a piece of paper or a leaf from a tree be
