  I have a disease that does not let me handle to much mental stress for a long period of time, it breaks me! And since the world works on the concept of Money, and with time one has to earn more and more of it, I often end up asking myself that will I be able to handle the stress that the next level demands? Or should I watch myself roll into the stigma of not rising up to my potential just because I will break at the top! I had always been afraid of success, not because of the joy it brings and again I won't be able to handle that side of life's coin, because the disease doesn't let me be in joyous state for too long too, but because what if the responsibilities and pressure that success brings with itself will be unbearable to me.   Life is all about ironies , I learnt this the hard way. You get something when you were not even thinking about having it in your life and when your aspire, persevere and work hard towards something so much that it becomes secondary to breath...

  It is not the destination that matters the most, it's the journey that changes us and makes us ready for the destination while we are in the journey.  Unfortunately, there exists no Doraemon's anywhere door in reality. We can't reach the dreamt of destination without walking the path.  It has been almost a year since I have been to proper mountains. I miss mountains and I miss the simplicity of life there.  And it's a harsh reality, a simple life with a healthy body and mind is way better than a chaotic life on the top of the career ladder. More than one's work, one has to navigate through the work politics and people management.  Given a chance, what would you choose ?  A peaceful life or a lead role in a cage ? Given a chance, where would you settle ? A soulful, healthy, clean village or a dying metro city ? What else should I mention in today's entry? How was my day ? Like a typical Monday. Did I read enough ? No. Did I eat healthy? Yes. Did I drink en...

 Hi,   I never really got the idea behind naming the first of anything as Pilot ! What are we expecting out of it ... to make the `thing` fly and touch the sky. Anyway, this is my first blog (hence named Pilot), and I really don't know what to mention about.  I am a programmer by profession and it has been almost 7 years now, programming for money.  But I often ask myself, if it hasn't been for money, would I have ever touched a computer? Do I really enjoy programming, do I really like to command a computer to do stuff for me and feel that sense of superiority in doing so ! I guess I do enjoy that sense of Power! But then another question pops-up in my popcorn container mind, that if its really all about the sense of Power over a computer ... am I really a power hungry person.. well I guess not, because in my current organisation, I am just another contributor. I don't lead a team, I don't manage people. I get paid for writing good, bug-free code and ship the re...
