To Do or To Create
I have a friend, he’s a good guy, normal, fun, trustworthy. But I felt bad for him, for not what he is, but what he does. He’s an accountant. I could never fathom myself in accounting, for I only see accounting as a job where a person trades his time for money. No doubt, I […]
Thoughts on Day Trading
A few years ago I wanted to be a day trader, a pirate on the high seas, a Gordon Gekko-lite that raided the holds of the slow moving freighters. So I bought subscriptions, I bought software, I bought accounts, I believed it was the beginning of the end of he slavery, the beginning of the […]
No City Left Behind
Just marveling at another perk of being married – I have a great travel buddy. Give our current short-term employment situation forcing us to live apart, I am beginning to think this is somewhat of a blessing in disguise, for we are both equally exhilirated that we get to meet-up in a different place every […]
2010 March 13th – The Green River
I was in Chicago for St.Patrick’s; there we go, now I don’t feel that bad for skipping my local friends who are busily intoxicating in the local Irish pubs. The green river was worth it, yes it was, who in their lives get to see a damned river go green for a day, that would […]
Sometimes
Sometimes we are happy, Sometimes we tell ourselves to be happy, Sometimes we believe in the future and take everything in the present in stride, Sometimes we hate that we have become believers, Sometimes we want to sacrifice our present for the future, Sometimes we just want to be in the future and forget the […]
“Our Story”
This is a post I had written two months ago, but never ended up publishing. It was supposed to be part of the wedding website which I was working on, but never got time to finish. Its a mass version of the “Our Story” page that goes on a typical wedding website. Thought it would […]
Cheers
For a change, I am happy. For a change, I look forward to the future. There are things that are about to happen; things that are life-altering, that incite some much needed optimism, that scare the hell out of me, that I actually welcome into my meager life. Lets just say, its that time of […]
A dal to end all dals
– Boil Toor Dal – While the dal is on the stove, feel free to roam around, chat on the phone, watch tv, feed orphans, debate healthcare policy and write an op-ed about police brutality – Go back to the kitchen to find smoke, steam and bemused roommates who are wondering if it is better […]
Of Socialism – Part Deux
mcme……. I guess, taken on a scale of everything, nothing – leave alone socialism, would work. The catch lies in finding the balance. Basic necessities should not be part of the equation. People should not have to compete to get food, healthcare, shelter and the likes. The big inequality of it all lies in the […]
Of Socialism
Read this today….. An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then […]
