Happy Friday to one and all

I would like to extend a happy friday greeting to one and all via this blog format. So far we have covered a number of topics and life is getting better on an incremental basis. None the less there is more stuff for us to do. I was aware of that as well.

There is no money for bums

So far in my time spent here in India I have seen numerous bums. None of which have gotten a single ruppee from me personally. I who work and go to school and am doing good things with my life should not have to support somebody else's slide into self destruction. The poor have many issues many of them mental in nature. Also they have a lot of vices such as drugs, alchohol and prostitution. The money they get does not go to feed them. I do not support any of those said activities at all.

Stupidity and meannes just plain suck

What I find to be incredibily useless in my life is when family members see fit to totally clown on you not realizing of course that they have almost all of the same life issues, and problems that you have in life. In fact we are a lot more inherintly equal than you think and you have no business belittling me at all. In fact I should be accord respect and dignity as should all human beings in this world. The latter is particularly true. Meanness and stupiditiy just plain suck.

Days of the new life and beginning

Right now you are attempting to do the right thing and in the right way here and now. This is an intensely difficult trick but it is something worth doing here and now. None the less I have committed this year to be the year of good deeds done by me. It is also worth doing at this given time.

Making decisions you can live with

Right now I am righting my ship and making decisions that will serve me best later in life. I am also working to enhance my array of skills considerably. None of these things are easy however they are what has to be done. Making decisions that you can live with are important.

Reading books in Mumbai

I am fully literate and I enjoy reading books in Mumbai. It is a great city and we have a lot going on around here in the positive. Albeit our fair city has problems that must be addressed. Literature is a great tool for doing this here and now and it is something that I like doin while I am here.

Making the best of a bad world

Face it the world is a pretty stupid place. That being said you have to make the most of the given situation and do the best that you can in the life span that you are given. It is the least that can be expected of you at this moment in time. Doing the right thing is not always easy but it is the right thing to do.

Job training and career development

Right now I am in the process of training for new jobs and better jobs. Acquiring more skills in diverse areas is important and doable. On a small scale I am doing that right now and I working to make the best out of my life at this time. This is done inspite of known obstacles. None the less I have to do what I have to do to get ahead.

Building your character in the postive this year

At this very moment you are trying to build your character in the postive this year. It is an intense and difficult task but it is easily worth doing none the less. Becoming better people is important for all of us but it is also particularly important to me.

Making plans and taking action here and now

Right now I am in the position to do good things here and now. It is not easy in fact it is intensley difficult. None the less I feel a sense of importance in doing what is good and necessary in the here and now. Life is funny that way if you are good and do good you will be rewarded.

A quiet Holi in Mumbai is observed

Right now we are enjoying a quiet Holi here in Mumbai town. It has been a good Holi thus far and I have had a very productive week in general. I have other things I am looking forward to doing in the near future and the continuation of Photo-shop class as well.

Getting more job skills now

Right now I am in the process of acquiring more job skills in the field of graphic arts. This is intense and heady stuff as I am learning web design and 2 dimensional computer animation. Basically how to make your own cartoons. Having more skills and knowledge does make you more marketable here and now and in the future as well.

Misadventures on the way to work

So I was taking a cab out of Colaba this morning on my way to VT. When an idiot driver in a Tata motors goods carrier swiped our cab as we headed out of the turn signal. Luckily the cops were able to adjucate the dispute much later but not after it cost me 25 minutes of my morning. The driver of the other car's company should have to pay the driver, pay for the damage and pay a fine and have his liscence suspended for at least year. It would be good if that all went down.

Credit and respect

Credit and respect you find are inordinately short supply. You find that you do a good job at something and other people are always quick to say that they did it even if you did 90 percent of the work yourself. This is for the things that you are good at in this lifetime. Now on the other hand if you screw up even in the slightest capacity you find others are quick to come down on you like a ton of bricks. It is a completely inadequate setup from start to finish. Things shouldn't be this way but they somehow are and all you can do is cope with them as best you can. Credit and respect are slim to none and you have to make do with what you have.

Crash sunday in Delhi

Right now I am chilling out with my Aunt Janak and my Uncle Navin both of whom are cool people. Delhi has been a lot of fun so far as I arrived here at Gitanjali Enclave at close to noon on friday 03/11/11. I am here until the end of Wednesday 03/16/11. I would like to take the time to thank once again my illustrious hostes.

Feeling the pain and giving the love to Japan

In the past four days the nation of Japan has suffered two massive earthquakes and a tsunami of gigantic proportions. Seventeen hundred people are confirmed dead and another ten thousand are unaccounted for right now. I am going to donate a $100's American to the red cross to aid in disaster relief funds for those effected by the earthquake and tsunami. Luckily California and Hawaii were spared. Once again we extend our love and companionship to our Japanese friends in this time of trouble.

Life moves on

Making good in this lifetime is difficult but worth doing. I am attempting to do just that at this given moment. Becoming a better person is a challenge for all of us. I was aware of that as well.

Life on the small

Right now I am doing the right deeds and taking the right steps and living life on the small. It is difficult but these are things that are worth doing just for the sake of doing them. None the less life has its ups and downs and getting through them can at times be troublesome to you. Still making good in and of itself is something worthy none the less.

A big year is at hand for me personally

2011 is a big year for me across many fronts in my life. I am endeavoring to become a much better, kinder, smarter and more skilled person all around. Additionally I am working to make my good deeds, virtues and positive accomplishments stand on their own. Simply because it is the right thing to do. None the less I have my work cut out for me and I know it.

My city is still Mumbai

The reasons as to why I like Mumbai over just about any other Indian city is easily its charm and its people. The Mumbaikars are a good lot and they make this city the great city that is today. Additionally just about anything you want to get you can have in this city if you are willing to look for it. That is also another nice feature of why I call this place home.

The Days of Coke and Coffee

Caffeine is an essential part of my existence here on this mortal plain. If it did not exist I would be a zombie. That would not be a good thing to be but caffeine helps me keep awake and it also stimulates my brain in crucial ways that are conducive for better thinking. None the less it is a good thing all around.

Yet more reasons why we preferr Mumbai to Delhi

Even with all of its known shortcomings Mumbai remains a vastly superior place to live and be than Delhi. Namely the strength and character of its people make it this way. That is why I and close to twenty millions others have made the decision to live our days here. Delhi will never be home to me. I can say that I have always loved Mumbai as the best city in all of India. Apparently others agree with me to.

Knowing what you are and knowing what you are not

It is good sometimes to know what you are. It is also good at other times to know what you are not. Identity is a strange business to say the least but our notion of who and what we are is important from severaol angles. None the less Identity can do one of two things it can either make you or conversely a bad sense of identity can break you. Managing your character is thus by extra important in this day and age.

What I am going to do next

2011 is a big year for my personal and intellectual growth as a person. This year I am going to pick up more computer related job skills and I am also going to develop my abilities as a writer as well. It is time to refine and build my character and become the best me that I can become. It is my challenge and I take it on gratefully. I was aware of that as well.

Life in a modern place

Right now I am on the ground in Mumbai and liking it a lot. The city in many ways is my second home and I want to be good to it in as many ways as I can. That being said it has its share of problems from many angles all of which have to be addressed. None the less it is good times for all of us now.
