Last minute problem..

Life is hectic as ever and I still do things in the last minute..as always. Why I leave things till the last minute is still a mystery to me. I plan everything ahead and try to work things on time and at times it even looks like I might be able to finish up early. But still..somehow.. when the time comes, I find my self loaded down with so many unfinished tasks and stuff ! Even in the exams, while I write the answers, I plan and allocate time for each question..But in the end, I always find myself scribbling like a maniac to finish on time.

My friends say I seek too much of perfection and control on everything I do and that’s why I take too long to finish..Though I’m not sure about that I must admit I look for satisfaction in whatever I do..Seeking job satisfaction and being a perfectionist are two different things..at least so in my opinion.

I mean, if I’m not happy about what I do, then what’s the point? Ah..well, enough with my ranting. Hope I’ll get the hang of this time problem of mine soon..or may be not  :P

Happy weekend everyone!

The passive observers..

Most of the time people prefer to be just passive observers..Not wanting to get involved..Especially if the situation is tricky and doesn’t  directly involve them..But as it’s famously said- what goes around comes around.

I’m one of those people who speak their mind and act on impulse..somehow it gives me a sense of completeness, sense of relief that I’ve got nothing to hide, nothing to act about. But I almost always get into trouble for that..troubles which initially had nothing to do with me.

Sometimes I wonder whether I should also become a passive observer..and stay out of trouble. It would help  me stay out of trouble..Would keep me away from unnecessary stress..But then I’ll miss being myself..I won’t get that sense of freedom and relief. Unspoken words and the consequences will always haunt me.  I guess its better to be ‘myself’....Outspoken and a trouble magnet.. yet original..

Just for a laugh :)

 

 

A cow was kept for viva:

Premed student- its a cow!
Medical student- Perhaps this is a cow!
After MBBS- This may b a cow or a hypopigmented buffalo!
MD/MS- This may be a hypertrophied goat or an atrophied elephant with congenital anomalies

Keeping a cool head..

My biggest ambition these days is to get through each day with peace of mind, and to move peacefully from one task to another with focused attention and a quiet, calm energy.

Anger and impatience wear on our hearts, minds and our families. When we take control of our emotions rather than letting them drive our thoughts - we function better, communicate better and our life becomes more purposeful and productive.

At times, simple things appear too complex and complicated..until we really see them as they are. Once we take control over such situations, its all ours! But its not that simple..Getting control takes a lot of calmness which would allow you to see  things in appropriate ways they deserve. When you lose your mind over such situations and let the emotions take control...it all becomes too hectic and eventually result in a mess..!

I was growing worried when I couldn’t handle such situations..when my days get ruined by the so called complex problems and people. But then I realised that it takes a lot of experience, practice and more importantly – a deep wish to work on such behaviour..

So people….just chillax and have a cool day! :)

Urine therapy..!?

I was lounging at ehow.com and  happened to come across an article about ‘remedies for skin discoloration’. One of the remedy they recommend is none other than urine! Was really surprised to read it.

They say, that urine can balance out the skin quickly, and can fade skin discolorations rapidly. And, we are supposed to use first urine sample taken in the morning, as it is the most concentrated and most effective.

Here’s the extract from the article about the directions for use-

“Soak a cotton pad in urine, then apply it to the skin discoloration. You can lay the pad onto the skin, leaving it there for up to 15 minutes, or use the urine as a toner. Repeat this up to three times per day to remove skin discolorations.”

You can find the article here: http://www.ehow.com/way_5255279_remedies-skin-discoloration.html

As much as I know, urine is a skin irritant. Urine in the bladder is sterile indeed. But it becomes contaminated on its passage out, by the normal flora present in lower urethra, skin around urethral orifice and external genitalia. So by the time we collect urine sample, it already contains bacteria. Therefore, I’m not sure about this sterile urine thing.

Anyways, if anyone ever try this urine therapy for your skin, please let me know about the results..:)

The battle of blues..

Today is the big day..The most anticipated final match of Cricket world cup 2011 – India Vs Sri Lanka. Its the first WC final with all Asian teams.

I'm on SL’s side today. they’ve made it to the finals 2 times in a row. But as Sanga already said- Its the cup that matters..!

Eagerly waiting to see who claims the cup. Meanwhile, here’s a quick view on the WC final and the hype surrounding it.

Indian medias always make such a big hype about cricket. And the Indians are never allowed to forget that they must win the cup, at least for the master blaster Sachin. *I always enjoy the little master’s class act batting , regardless of which side I'm on. Its such a treat to watch him smash the balls.*

Some attention seeking dimwit model named Poonam Pandey even promises to bare it all for India.She pictures it as a heroic sacrifice, and says she is a new generation girl who’d do anything to bring the WC home..*So girls, if you are from the new generation, you should all get naked* :P.

*Honestly, I don’t know how this could help India win. *

Besides, she has already shown 99% of her skin on kingfisher calendars. So after all its just 1% that’s left to sacrifice..:P

Indian cricket fans are always at one extreme or the other. They worship the players as idols if they win. But if India loses a match its a totally different story - They take it too personally and go and smash down and burn anything that has got the player’s name on.I don't know whether this much hype is good or bad for the team. It could work either way.

Sri Lankan cricket is quite different. Here the fans are as much passionate about cricket as Indians but they are very much balanced. At least nobody here bares it all for cricket victory :) Cricketers are hailed as heroes, but not as Gods. Cricket is our passion, but not our life.

If SL wins, they celebrate with as much vigor as any other nation, and they accept the defeats without much fuss.. The players are criticized if they fail to perform well. But surely they won’t be sentenced to death. :) Whether its a good thing or not, I don’t know .:P

So, Who will be the champions today? Dark blue or Light blue ? :)

UPDATE -

Finally the light blue won..Indians have finally got their wish. Word champions 2011.

Sri Lankans tried..But the better team won. Well done India..!

Sachin got his farewell gift..He finally got to hold the WC..Looks like he'll never put that down..:)

I’m lovin’ it..

Woke up to a beautiful morning. Its just perfect weather outside..Sky looks like it couldn’t make up its mood..Right now its somewhere between a heavy shower and a beautiful sunshine..Dark grey clouds are everywhere..and teeny tiny dark blue pieces of sky are sneaking from behind. The horizon is streaked with a beautiful tinge of yellowish orange.

I can feel the cool breeze and the occasional rain drops caress my face as I sit next to an open window..It just so beautiful that i wanna sit here all day watching the scene..:)

I tried capturing the scene in my cam..It didn't come out well though..Anyways, pictures and words could hardly justify the real beauty..
