Introduction..


Let me tell u what i am and what I stand for..

I can do anything and I can fail in anything,
Anyone can beat me and I can beat "Just anyone"..
I am a work in progress...
And I shall never be complete..
Bul il fight till the very end and surprise everyone.. Including myself...

I have a socialist mindset.. but I am not a Marxist that way..
And i don’t propagate the hollow state theory or the roll back of the state either..
But a free state and an open economy run by the best minds from IIM's, the Haward, the Yale.. Can lead you tu a dirty mortgage crisis.. so u know a big state has tu exist..got in too deep here...huh.. but remember we get the kind of govt we deserve...

Apart from this i am.. Many things..
I am a very staunch protagonist of an idea I think carries weight..

At times i am ruthless but its good i guess...it's d philosophy of Howard bzness schul...managers have to be ruthless at times..Not administrators remember..so i shud make a better manager..

and then I don’t handle relationships well... ruthless as i am.. bt err.. Mind it.. not emotionless..
i wud die hard yes.. die hard for a few friends .. come what may...

I am not a great learner but judgmental but @ the same time fit universally into almost many things..if not anything.

Then is my passion for sports ..Though i am v v ordinary but as a person involved in games and sports it gives me a healthy mind and a fresh soul to live life much fuller.. evenings is the time i cant b in my room...

Then there comes higher things in life...I think I am Much more utopian than practical... wud go all out to make other person comfortable..like to follow rules, believe in chanakya neeti stuff.. Get fascinated by Bhagvad Gita esp chapter 13 .. wud read the description of Goddess Durga in Durgasaptsati Sachitra. wud cry @ times pray when i need help and energy,, donate wid a big big heart.. but don’t propagate beggary for sure..fight like brats on the road and in the traffic on the hind side.. would not mind fighting a big demon for ascertaining my rights.., i shout like anything.. my friends know about my this quality if it is..
and yes there is this thing.. i like to take big risks ..even when the world equivocally tells me that i am misdirected , over adventurous.. I carry on I do what I want to do.. not what has been good for others and everybody has been doing with best results.. u see good may not be gud if better can certainly be done..And 1 thing.. i wud not mind putting my whole life climbing and may even never reach my destination ..but there is no destination as such i am trying tu make the best journey possible rather than reach the best destination hardly anyone has ever seen..

And then i am all out for social good, equality through opportunity and not reservations, capital punishment for corruption and rape, corrective punishment for littering and the like, social audit in all organizations, complete corporate social responsibility for the private sector, heading all panchayati raj institutions by women (they make better administrators), system of recall & minimum educational standard for politicians, teaching profession to be made most lucrative of all, abolishing Indian police code(we still governed by British era Indian police code 1861 YES..
