Re: [nukkad] So many things to do ... so little time ...

Venkat, 
 
Thought I should share my views on this. 
 
Dude, have u heard this short story of a young man 
having lost his gold earring somewhere was searching for it in 
the light (though he lost it in the dark). later an older man 
passing by stopped and asked what he was doing, to which the 
young man said he was searching for his lost ring. when asked 
where he had lost it, he replied it was in the dark by the side. 
when asked why he was searching where he was searching, he said 
there was no light to look for where he had lost, so he was searching 
where there was light. So despite the light can he still find the ring ? 
 
I guess you must have realised where I am driving to. You have come 
here (of course I mean in the U.S.) searching for something which 
is not even there !!! It just seems like because there is too much 
of "light" . But you will only find what you are looking for, back 
home where it is actually there. Agreed, it is tough to find it 
there becasue it is "dark" but it still makes sense to look for it there. 
 
Hope I have made my point clear. 
 
 
Thanks and begin you quest for search, before it is tooooo late. !!!

I am going to propose a discussion. 

The American Dream.

We all work so hard for this ever elusive 'American Dream'. It seems to
me like there is not enough time in the day to have fun. I was listening
to the radio today (ofcourse on my way to work) and the topic was about
family life in the US. The speaker was saying that life has become '9-5
at the office'. He said - Nothing can make up for failure at home. He
was talking about how little quality time we spend with people who are
significant in our lives. And also how we seem to keep pushing things we
would rather be doing out of our lives (e.g. learning to swim, going on
a nature walk). Instead, after a full week at work, the weekend seems to
be spent on trying to catch up on the things we haven't been able to get
to. 

I seem to have this problem and just meeting friends for dinner has worn
its charm. I would like to hear about what new and interesting ways
people spend their time on to keep their life from becoming mundane.

Ramble on ...
 
Venkat Rammohan
