Kalik







When you stop reading, you stop thinking. The brain turns into a black hole with crappy thoughts and negative energy. The thirst for knowledge is key for me to stay stable, happy and interested. I need to start reading again. I haven’t felt like writing in ages for some reason. Consumed by bull shit. Its time to put all into perspective and give joy a chance. You cannot get lost in what you do for a living. You have to put it all into perspective and tailor your life. Perspective is my new favorite word. I still stand by the rule that there is no right or wrong. You make the right or wrong and hopefully you are smart enough to do the right thing.
Passion is a strange animal. You have to learn to rein it and only use it in your own right way. Otherwise, you will end up getting hurt. It is all about fine tuning yourself to the environment that you are in. it is about trying to stay clear of situations. The older you grow, the more you experience and the more you experience, the more you try and figure out a way to be above all the bull shit.
The nets suck as a team. Jason Kidd is falling apart. The will is still there but the body is not able to cope with the manic speed of the game. His support cast is talented but not ready enough. I don’t know if its about practice, lack of coaching or the effort. It’s all showing. It’s a bunch of talented guys with lots of money who are not delivering consistently enough.
Winter is here. I don’t even remember fall. That’s how hectic things have been. Didn’t even get a chance to see the leaves turn yellow. I cant wait for summer. This summer will be exciting and I intend to push the body to the maximum. Last summer was at least a step in the right direction with the biking, kayaking, trekking and traveling. I am at work and I feel like leaving early. Feel like going home. Talking about home, there is still so much to do. We have to still furnish many parts of the house. Talking about the house, taxes come to mind. I am not feeling negative today so I will let that one slide. My taxes are as high as my rent that I used to pay a year ago. Jersey property taxes are ridiculous. Who do I scream at? I I have no clue. I will find someone though.
We were in the Bahamas a couple of weekends ago. It was nice. Very nice. I turned into an alcoholic for the first 2 days of the trip. I am pretty sure I have never drank so much in my entire life. We had been there for a wedding and my wife was smart enough to get an all inclusive hotel with booze and food. I abused my body and by the third day I had stopped. Going back to the wedding, it was amazing. They had rented a private island for the wedding. I will post some pictures of the island at some point of time. We rented a scooter for the evening. Being buzzed and riding a scooter reminded me of my days in Bangalore. My road king and me late in the night zipping through the quite cold Bangalore nights. Anyways, coming back to now, Nassau doesn’t have much to it. There is one main street which runs through the island and then spills over into paradise island via the bridge. You can see the Atlantis as you drive over the bridge into the island. There are tons of other hotels dotting the narrow coast. A sight to see in the day time and at night with all the lights. All in all it was fun. The idea is to go to Zambia early in February. Hopefully, we can do it. I am stopping right now cos I will go and on and on otherwise.
