Krishnan's weblog – an assortment of things. A scribble pad. A hybrid microblog. Mostly bread crumbs of an internet journey.
If you work too hard, there is never any time for her.
If you don’t work enough, you’re a good-for-nothing bum.
If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, it’s exploitation.
If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your butt and find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her, it’s favoritism.
If she gets a job ahead of you, it’s equal opportunity.
If you mention how nice she looks, it’s sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet, it’s male indifference.
If you cry, you’re a wimp.
If you don’t, you’re insensitive.
If you make a decision without consulting her, you’re a control freak.
If she makes a decision without consulting you, she’s a liberated woman.
If you ask her to do something she doesn’t enjoy, that’s manipulation.
If she asks you, it’s a favor.
If you try to keep yourself in shape, you’re self-centered.
If you don’t, you’re a slob.
If you buy her flowers, you’re after something.
If you don’t, you’re not thoughtful.
If you’re proud of your achievements, you’re an egotist.
If you’re not, you’re not ambitious.
If she has a headache, she’s tired.
If you have a headache, you don’t love her anymore.
Some time when I work out more than I should have on that given day, my mind goes blank. Like today. It feels like your body turns off all the voices in your mind. All I wanted to do was sleep after break fast. I kept myself up to keep up an appointment. But soon after I just crashed for a couple of hours. I was supposed to go to office today but didn’t.
I feel so relaxed now that I feel I can retain what I read.
I wonder if others feel the same way after a little bit of stretch too.
1. 180 hours of exercise @ 30 minutes a day.
2. Complete reading the Thirukkural. Write down my own notes for at least 360 out of 2660 lines.
3. Learn Debian Linux. Meet, in real life, at least one other person who uses Debian.
Today was my first day at the new fitplaza gym.
Today I also made my first visit to Ambi mall, which is supposedly the largest mall in India. I found Reliance Trends to be very interesting – excellent value for money.
I just returned home from a year end vacation.
Caught up with my relatives. Ate. Slept. Rested. Read the Da Vinci Code. Watched a full movie after months. Went to beaches. Saw a light house. Visited temples. Performed Poojas. Played chess with my 5 year old nephew. Got my 18 month old niece vaccinated. Clicked pictures. Went to a theme park with family. Picked up excellent books written before 1940 on Thirukkural to continue my study of it. Laughed to my brother’s and sister’s jokes. Didn’t publish new year resolutions. Didn’t strain myself to contact many friends. Didn’t update my blog. Didn’t read my RSS. Didn’t check my office mails. I just unwound in preparation to take up more work in office later this month. I feel better after the vacation now.
But now the house is dusty and the car wont start. Thats a thing for tomorrow though…
Learning Daily is a personal blog that is just as random as my thoughts. The navigation bar at the top and the search box may be the only things that will help you find something.
My present interests lie in sustainability, peak oil, debian, Web after 2.0, creativity and epistemology. I learn daily. I learn about everything under the sun and even those beyond it. I am a perpetual student whose believes that wisdom is the real reward for learning.
