In case you are wondering if Latin is one of the courses on offer at ISB , I am sorry its not … and I am also sorry that this is pretty much my entire vocabulary of this fine language … How I came across this mind numbingly simple yet stunningly true concept is a long boring story I will spare you with.
(Trust me the story is really boring ….. it involves me squatting on the floor for 3 hours watching a movie on a Boys hostel and taking notes on it…)

Come to think about it , rarely do I get such flashes of revelation at 3 in the afternoon…. I guess it’s because I am usually not drunk that time of the day. Problem-Identified … Solution-More beer …

Neways the feeling was like.. Well lemme quote from the book (If U’r sick of me quoting from the book…. GO TO HELL!!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"He had an odd feeling of being like a man in the act of adultery who is surprised when the woman's husband wanders into the room, changes his trousers, passes a few idle remarks about the weather and leaves again."

PS: Ive never had THIS particular odd feeling, but hey I still have some years to go. ;-)

God knows I’ve had my share of shots at life… God also knows I’ve had my share of misses …. But I wonder if he knows how many times I’ve kicked myself for not even trying … How many times I’ve just sat there like an idiot ,waiting for the right time , the right moment , the right place, the right person ….
I am sure G and P are counting , but there’s some stuff I don’t tell them , so the number they come up with will need huge multiplier to get to the correct answer.

Anyways ……Not anymore … From now on the right time is NOW ….
Some risks in life are not worth finding a risk adjusted return on …
Some investments don’t have a Net Present Value …
U just go ahead with them… with gut instinct... and faith …

Screw the numbers, screw the fears, screw the advices… follow your heart…From now on I am gonna
“seize the pleasures of the moment without any concern for the future"

Carpe Diem
