Finding ways to make good in this lifetime

Without a doubt life is a challenge. One of its major facets is the good that we continuously do on a continuous basis. Not all of which is rewarded in our own lifetime. Platitudes aside doing good and being good is a major part of life these days and it is important for all of us at this current time. We must all find ways to make good in this life time just for the sake of it.

The Shaquille Oneal Rule

If you have to get something done in a hurry you say do it the Shaquille Oneal rule. Which is "Do it right now". Also It is said when you have to take appropriate actions in the near short term. None the less it is a good rule of thumb that you should always follow at all times.

Why we like Mumbai

Mumbai is easily the best city in India right now hands down. It is a vastly superior place to live and work than either Delhi, Calcutta, Bangalore or Madras. Delhi was rated in a magazine survey as being more liveable than Mumbai. I however think quite the opposite. Delhi may be a great place to live in the future but it is not a great place to live in now. Mumbai on the other hand is quickly developing as a cosmopolitan world class city that is today the best in all of India. What makes Mumbai better than Delhi is the quality of its people. The Mumbaikars are awesome and it is cool to be one of them.

The Upright American

At this current time I am becoming quickly the upright American. Integrity is an important thing for all of us right now. It is however of paramount importance to me. Additionally I have some more challenges than usual in life. None the less I know that I have to be good from now on.

Putting your life back together the slow way

Right now I am putting my life back together the slow way. The name of the game is incremental improvement on a daily basis. Doing so you have to know the forest from the trees. Accomplishing this goal isn't an easy task but it must be done because it is the right thing to do.

Life issues and other things

One of the things that sucks for me right now is my visa problems. David Headley has really ruined things for me here in India. Due to the fact that I am half Pakistani I have to prove constantly that I am in fact a good guy. It really kind of sucks for me. None the less I have to do the best with the life that I am given warts and all. Cheers and have a good day now.

The Nature of Virtue

Virtue is a funny thing. We are told do good deeds and you will be rewarded. That is true but not always as immediate as you think. None the less we find that you do good now and life has a funny way of sorting itself out much later. This is the nature of the way virtue works in our world today.

Let the truth speak for itself

In life we sometimes find that we have to let the truth speak for itself. None the less things can be difficult and sometimes impossible. However with the situation you are given you have to do the best that you can at all times. Let the truth speak for itself.

Life is full of pleasant contradictions

One finds in life that perception is not always reality. Sometimes reality can say one thing and perception can say something totally different. That being said you find that you actually find others to be attractive as they naturally are. You also find that you are a better you than you get credit for as well which is of itself another contradiction. None the less you live life in between these two states of existence.

Blood and glory and other things

In this lifetime you get credit for nothing. It is unfortunate by true that all of your accomplishments and good deeds will never be recognized or rewarded. That doesn't mean that you stop doing good things it just means that gratitude is in short supply. Life kind of sucks that way but all you can do is deal with it. You get blood and little glory. None the less good things have to be done now.

Life on the strait and narrow

I must preface these comments by saying that I am a flawed person by nature. I have made my share of mistakes in life and I am trying to atone for them. So I have avowed from this point forward to be as correct as I can be. Also I have avowed to make something good and useful of my life here. Both are difficult challenges but are intensely doable on an ongoing basis. I wish the rest of the world would be this honest at the core. I was aware of that as well.

Being a good character is crucial

Being a good character is crucial for life and other things. I find that I have been sniped at and cut down on. People who have all the same flaws, shortcomings and life problems as you see it is totally their place to pick on you for yours. It is really stupid to put it bluntly. None the less I am going to do the best with the life I am given.

Disabilities are no exscuses

Consider this I have two kinds of disabilities a bladder problem and a mental disorder and yet I work five hours of the day. I find absurd to the point of being stupid that people who have other disabilities think that they can not do meaningful things with their lives. I have no sympathy what so ever for one armed or one legged beggars. They are not going to get a single rupee out of me. Do something worth while with your lives other than vagrancy. Thanks.

I will be watching the Social Network tonight

Thanks to my illustrious cousin Bunny, I have the bit torrent copy of David Fincher's the Social Network. It will be good times and fun watching. I will be having a lot of fun with my new media player. Good times.

Life on the side and other adventures

Right now you are living life on the side. It has its advantages and it has its consequences. None the less I am trying to do the most good that I can in this lifetime. It is hard work but it most be done.

The Year of Me

Right now I am trying to make 2011 the year of Me. It has been good so far and things are getting back to a sense of normalcy. None the less somethings have to change here and now. I was aware of that as well.

Handicaps are not an excuse

Consider this, I have two types of handicaps I have both a mental disorder and a bladder problem and yet I work five hours of the day. The mere possession of a physical handicap is not an excuse not to work do school or something useful with your life. I have absolutely no pity for all of those handicapped bums on the street. Do something useful with your life people.

Days of the Work

I am grateful that I have a job and I like doing it. However it is just a job at this point in time. Eventually I want to get a job that is also a career. I was aware of that as well.

Getting back to better slowly

Right now I am getting back to better slowly. The process has proven to be better than I have foreseen. It is a time of renewal and personal growth. I was aware of that as well.

I am attracted to beautiful women

It seems that most of the young women in Mumbai go for the all out skank look. Artificial beauty does not appeal to me at all. Natural beauty however does. I find that I am attracted to naturally beautiful women it is a fact. So please ladies be ladies and not skanks

Number one and tough enough to stay there

My beloved San Antonio Spurs have the western conference's best record of 42 wins and only eight lossess. It is a record impossibly even better than the LA Lakers who are 34-17 at this point in the season. There are many story lines evolving at this current moment including that our bench and our reserves are playing their best ball of the season right now. Additionally to the power presence of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobilli we are also having big years from other spurs. They include Dejuan Blair, Richard Jefferson and Gary Neal. All of whom are balling well right now. Look out west the Alamo city is the best

Enjoying life in the Maximum City

Right now I am enjoying life in Mumbai a lot. The city has been good to me and I hope I have been good to it. The people of Mumbai are great and it is easily the best city in India by a long shot. Delhi, Bangalore and Calcutta are all vastly inferior places to live and be. Even with all of its inherent problems Mumbai remains a vastly superior place to be sure.

The truth is sometimes ironic

We find in life that the truth is sometimes ironic. This being aid we can only deal with it when it comes up. The solutions to our problems are as such that nothing can be done about other things at this time.

Hitting the ground running

Today on this hump day I am going to hit the ground running. Work and life do matter to me a lot and I demand my right to live mine. Other people have life issues to but they have to recognize there issues. I was aware of that as well.
