Q and its A

What should I do with my life ?
Most of the time, it ends up being a rhetoric.

Po Bronson in his book tries to make the question accountable and appealing. I am mid-way reading it. I strongly recommend it.

There is no (f)art of living pravachan or self-madad techniques. It is definitely not a Chicken Soup for Soul where alls-well-that-ends-well. Mere dost, picture is always baaki in most of the stories in the book.

The stories vary from poignant to mundane to inspirational. It is not a step-by-step guide to find yourself. It is more of a snapshot of a phase in life of people who really asked the question. Many are still searching for an answer.

The answer is somewhere within. Sometimes, it takes a lifetime to search over there.
That, mere yaar, is the gist of life. To ask the question for which you can spend your entire life looking for an answer.

Alchemist Revisited

My current favorite these days:

Badi shiddaat se maine jisko paane ki koshish ki,

Har zarre ne mujhe usse milane ki saazish ki,

- Om Shanti Om (2007)

i,Con !

Nah, I am not talking about Steve Jobs or his book.

But of the man who has been conning the west for good amount of time. His book is out there on the shelf.

Ambrish opines about Musharraf's book. It is not a review per se but makes an interesting observation about that Mushy does not know that his target audience.
