Down another term...

The 4th term at IIMC !! :)
what to say about it ?? It went away before I realized it was there...( and I am glad for that since it wasnt an easy one :) )
It also marked the start of the downfall a well maintained academic record...and what an appropriate way to start it than an exam called "CREST" :)
But given that I chose to do it, the results shouldnt be a surprise. Besides knowing that I have the calibre to perform is what really matters and that is the source of my self-confidence.

After the PPO, the aim was to focus on other aspects which I couldnt in the last 1 yr. Glad that I could take care of some of them but still have a couple left untouched.

Last but not the least, looking forward to a great 3 and a half months holiday in Europe :) Hoping to make the most out of this once in a lifetime opportunity !

The purpose of life ?

I bet this is one of the most frequent topic for discussions, spiritual talks and books ever. And most end up answering something close to : self-actualization (Maslov) or getting rid of the material trap of the world and the cycle of birth and death ( The Geeta ).
Many people always feel this void, that kills them within and they are unhappy despite everything going as they wanted it to be. What strangely surprises me is that to me things turn out to be much simpler. I believe that the purpose of life is to LIVE !
Somehow I can be happy with living life and enjoying things as they come. To me, the search for nirvana appears to be beating the very purpose for which this world got created in the first place.
Just hope that I can enjoy whatever comes, even if that means not ever raeching the top of Maslov's pyramid :)
