Patience is a Virtue!! or thats what fools believe...

PATIENCE!! Something i have not quite figured out as yet.
I still remember my favorite Aunt!! or should i say my dad's favorite sister ranting at me ages ago in gujarati ' aa chokra ne patience nathi . aagad kevite vadhis'. (This boy has no patience. How will you make any progress in life without it).

I have tried mastering this beast called patience over the last many years since then. Have i suceeded ? Not quite.

One encounters various situations that call for patience and how we respond is something that defines the future course.
Sometimes i trade stocks at a profit and sometimes at a loss. In hindsight i always have to hear comments like ' If you had patience you would have made more profit ' or ' You rush in to quickly and hence make losses ' . but isnt that always true about life.. I mean you win some you loose some.. What has patience or lack of it have to do anything with the stupid stock markets ??
is'nt it all a gamble anyways

What is wrong in being impatient? Each one of us want to achieve a great many milestones in life and lets face it we do not have our entire life to achieve them. Our generation and the subsequent ones that will follow will not have the liberty to live life at an easy going pace as our parents and granparents had..
So much to do and so little time!!

I try at times to be 'patient' but i guess most of the times it is a futile attempt. Sometimes i do wish i had some patience in dealing with certain situations. it would have saved me a lot of effort and time rectifying errors..

Would i have changed any of those decisions probably not!

So my favorite aunt i guess after all these years is still gonna make the same comments about me and my lack of patience... and i enjoy every bit of the argument that i have with her about how i feel that being Impatient is a bigger virtue than being patient!

Will i ever lear how to be patient.. Only time will tell
It feels like figthing a Bear.. you do not stop when you are tired.. you stop when the bear is...

Cheers!!

My first personal Blog!

I have surprised myself by writing a blog. I always thought that people who wrote a blog were lonely people who did not have friends and hence it wasv their effort at been heard and noticed..

I hate to admit that i was wrong! Welcome to the blogging community Mr Shah!!!! ;-)

Anu, you are the one who is to be blamed to get me to start blogging! It was you who got me in the habit of reading . My bookshelf now holds almost 100 books ranging from sociology to the subject of a Hindi Movie dud ( read 'One night in a Call Center). I also took 'inspiration' from my dear friends Mosiqi and Kg both who are active bloggers.

Being a sports nut it is only fair that i start off by congratulating our overpaid Cricket stars for winning the test series in Kiwiland.. a Looooonnnnnggggg 41 year wait comes to an end.. But Dhoni and Co forego their so called aggression for safety and blew a glorious chance of winning 2-0. next in line is the IPL2. (Indian Profits league) Hail Capitalism !!

We are getting into the big political tamasha called 'Elections'. UPA, NDA, TF, JMM, BBB, AAA, IILM, XXX .. then abbreviations just go on and on......I only wish that all our politicians got their act together for once and start thinking about the nation.

it makes me feel like a fool to read in the newspapers daily that M/S so & So ahve declared assests worth 125 crs.. ( only the declared value.. Black Money ?????) and he is not even a Graduate... Dude i am an MBA ( again abbreviation, we just love them) c'mon give me a break..thats got to count for something.

One this is for sure.. be it politics, economics, growth, religion or sports... We all live in exciting times!

GAME ON GUYS!!
