t - 20

As of today, I’m 20 days away from my marriage and a change in status. There are so many fears, so many apprehensions. But, there is also hope and the promise of a new life. The clock is ticking. These are the logs as and when they happen...

t-20:

Woke up today with sweaty palms and an empty bank balance. Today is bachelor party # 1. Acck! These Citibank folks are making a lot of money out of me. I must be what is called a revolver profile, so much interest income. It’s not fair.

It’s uncanny how the human mind works, when the XBox 360 was released, I used to only see these posters of Yuvraj and Akshay Kumar plastered all over the place and I used to walk into swanky electronic stores under the garb of being a potential customer just to get a look at the snazzy things. Nowadays, all I see are furniture shops, gas agencies and furniture shops. Stupid brain, always playing tricks on me.

Tomorrow, it will be t-19. :'(

India Uncut

Just read Amit Varma's article on Abdul Kalam and the limitations that people put on dreams.

It's a little hypocritical to say that Kalam should not be dreaming about space exploration. By that standard, India should not have ever engineered satellites, never have spent on the golden quadrilateral (people are dying, why do we need roads? Feed the hungry!), never have done anything apart from trying to feed the booming poor.

There is more than dimension to economic development; all of these need to co-exist. Just that some people dream a little less than others, and I guess that's why not everyone's president.
