30 april -- the day b4 my last bits compre
this sem was ok -- academically, i didn't meet my expectations -- tripwise, i went for none :( 

but anyways a lot has changed since my last blog -- the question of weather i want to go for hier studies or do a job has changed to what i wanna do with my life -- coz both of them are boring - and most importantly - one dimensional. 

I don't want my life to have only a few (significant) dimensions. (Well btw does job count as a dimension ?? or just a time kill ?? ) So what;s the plan ?? -- none -- go where ever life takes you ... well that's a bad thing -- what if i get caught in the flow of life to never recover -- too much momentum can be harmful ...

Easy (defn.) -- when you are in a car that's taking you to some place, going to that place is easy, coz all you have to do is stay back ... if your life takes you to some place and all you have to do is 'co-operate', it's easy.

And that's what I have been doing lately -- the easy ... 

Complex (defn.) -- something with many factors with lot of ununderstood/uncontrolled/difficult-to-control relations between them
Simple (defn.) - few factors with straigh-forward relations between them

(it seems that simple and complex have to do with the abilities of the mind, but the point 'ununderstood/uncontrolled/difficult-to-control' vs 'straigh-forward' seems to cut throught that, but ... whatever ...)

anways i found this while trying to google while typng the above : http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/11027/self_improvement_and_motivation/whats_simple.html

anyways coming back to the point -- easy is complex -- life (generally) wraps you around in knots ... there's enought convolution and your life is destroyed :) ... (exaggeration feels good :) )

simple is difficult -- but simple ... 
it's like a program you write and then find a 'simple' one somewhere -- it's so simple that it's beautiful -- though the more used word is elegant, though it involves more factors

found one more link ( http://phatchicks.indiatimes.com/The-Chicks/Sakhi/My-Recommendations/Whats-simple-yet-profound/articleshow/2431244.cms ) with these wonderful lines :

When I woke to the story of life 
It was already the middle of the tale, 
I know nothing of the beginning 
I’ll know nothing of the end.
  -- Urdu poet Shaad Azimabadi

you don't know what to do, but what you want might just be simple like a simple elegant program, but if you let your life go on it becomes complex -- again, getting convoluted is the default, being simple is intelligent, difficult, beautiful

being simple also involves being true to yourself, which contibutes to it's difficulty, but 'being false' to yourself is a repelling thot ... 

well i don't know what else to write ... so i shall stop here, coz it's the easy thing to do :)
