My wish is to travel across India, before I die. I prefer travelling by train over road or air. Air is my last priority. One gets to see the real India on stations, in second class railway compartments and more in general class. Of course there is India which is also. traveling by upper class (air-conditioned, three-tier and above). But, majority of India travels by general class and sleeper class and many times without reservations and tickets. Some pictures from my last travel:

There is no dearth of people who know how not to be punctual. But, they fail to understand the value of other’s time. I am not sure if I should go to an extent of saying the following:
“Never ever trust a person who knows that s/he cannot make it in five minutes, but still says “I’ll be there in five minutes”. Better even, cut off all the ties with such person.”
Sounds extreme? But that is what I am feeling like now.
Dear Autocorrect,
When I type duck, it means duck and not duck. See, you again autocorrected duck to duck. Duck you!
Imagine a world where such posters do not have to mention about security of women..
In the end nothing will remain. No happiness, no sorrow and no fighting over small things. This is the moment. Your moment of glory.
It’s easy to fool two people. One, yourself, and the second, who is deeply in love with you.
And, none of these two mind getting fooled, again and again.
I like it when you Like it. I will like to Like your Likes.
I spent about two hours looking for a productivity tool which will help me set my priorities right. But, couldn’t find anything worth it. And yes, it wasn’t on my priority list anyways.
To-Do lists scare me. Even if I start writing one, I am sure I will intentionally and consciously miss upon several things, I do not want to do. These might have already become a top priority, like accounts. Anyway, long ago somebody advised me to maintain a To-Do list and become more organised. I started one, but soon forgot where I saved or kept that to-Do list. Also, personally, I find fun in chaos. Organised day and life style do not motivate me.
I have a simple formula here: “Do all things first that you do not like, then all the remaining time is for the things you love.” I have been telling this to my daughter and students both. But wait, I myself do not follow this. Who the hell, would like to start the day with doing things that are not liked?
