Given a choice between the two, I'd take the net any day!

By the way, my dad said your comment on my blog made him start to rethink his life. He spends a good part of his day writing code as well.

Though believe me, I spend my days doing donkey work too. I just try to make the most of weekends and holidays. Come to Pune and let's go to Osho!

I used to be crazy about computers while in school & would spend hours on end trying to write code and outsmart my teacher!

But there comes a time in your life when a rethink is necessary. Where are we headed? Are our priorities right? Are we missing something trying to stuff in as much as possible? The sooner we find answers & take corrective measures, the better it is.

Checkered in red, grey, black and maroon, I've excused myself into donning it and looking silly for two reasons. It's Friday and…more importantly, the last working day of the year. Tailored half-a-year back, I never had the courage to wear it, not until today. It's that time of the year when it's time to reflect on the events that transpired. Last year ended on the worst possible note. Dad had expired and I was numb with shock. The repercussions rippled halfway thought this year. Things were so abysmal initially that I had lost the will to live. Acrid in everything I did, I was immensely angered by time phlegmatically flowing through its cadence. It was as if Dad meant nothing to anybody. What right did people have to live the way they always had when Dad was no more? Why was much of the world still
