I always loved the older pre-Gandhi series of notes for its art work. The ten rupee note which I got has the Indian emblem 'Lion of Sarnath' on its obverse and a picture of two peacocks sitting on a tree, with deers and a horse on the reverse. The currency note actually resembles a piece of art. The greyish blue color of the peacock and the beautiful curved designs of the note left me dazzled until I shuffled it into my wallet where other notes were stuffed with same MK.Gandhi on it...

Who rules over our creativity...?
Last week, a bus conductor handed over a old ten rupee note. I became a little bit confused as nowadays any rupee note comes with MK.Gandhi's smiling photo on it...

Michael Crichton...!!!???
It is 5 months already and I am getting the news now!!!
A mail from a community within the company linked to a presentation on global warming by 'LATE' Michael Crichton...I was taken aback by this news. Is Michael Crichton dead? and now I googled it to confirm it. A smoker, he battled throat cancer and died at 66.
If the news is true, then why was I not aware of it? I may very well say that I was busy with my project work...and all other odd reasons for why I did not get the news. I do have a single reason why I should have known it... the author, whose 'Disclosure' made me lost into its storyline; the same author whose 'Airframe' was in line with my own interesting subject; the same author whose 'Prey' made me its prey for a week... Anyways I feel sad by the news of the demise, so late...almost five months and now I am thinking how linked I am with the world and its happenings.

'TRYING'
Without trying out something you cannot conclude that you will fail
You tried crying seconds after you entered the world…and you cried for the first time
You tried spelling words…and you did talk
If you refuse to try... you would have never known your innate abilities…
And those which are earned without trying/sweating your blood are not relished…and the achievements fade with time.
And trying makes us younger and brighter…
So before you say you cannot do something…think if you have tried it.
And if someone says you cannot do it…refuse politely and say that ‘WE’ will try and conclude.
