My Name is Khan and I mayNot be a Terrorist

I have grown up watching Shah Rukh Khan’s movies. It all started with Baazigar (where he murdered Shilpa Shetty and ditched Kajol only to take his revenge, he was a Khan then, was he not !!!) . Then came Darr and again he was after Juhi Chawla and tried to kill Sunny Deol. Sunny was strong and survived, he was still a Khan. He must have named himself as Rahul or Raj but then he is Khan. And if those were just storylines and nothing to do with SRK real life, so please watch “My name is Khan” with same entertainment value. His name in movie is Rizwan Khan who is not a terrorist, and that is a fiction (it is not based on true story), or is it !!!

Reel and Real life are two different aspects, not to be mixed. I have grown up seeing heroics of Sunny Deol, Hritik Roshan , Amitabh Bachan (angry young man) and it took me ages to realize what they do in movies is just a screenplay. In real life they don’t go out and beat the goons, when terrorists call them for ransom, they don’t go to the den of underworld terrorist and kill them. They call the cops. They should and they do, because there is a difference in real life and reel life.

Sometimes real life resembles reel life, it must as it reel life is glorified version of real life. Things we aspire, the what we want to achieve and we can’t are so easily depicted in the reel life. In 2 hours, it covers 70 years of our life. It just can’s be real , it has to be reel. So I come to ever patriotic romantic hero SRK who has entertained us from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge ( where he takes on an engaged girl) to My Name Is Khan (again married, this time with a kid). So our hero (real life heros are different from reel life ones) has managed another heart touching flick. But was it really necessary to show him autistic. Can he not be normal and still say these words. Why is the extra sympathy needed. The whole country is saying in one single line , SRK is not a terrorist. We all know he is not. We all know he is not one in the movie. But does it matter what common man think and says and even practices.
If I understand correctly, My Name is Khan is not a mere representation of a name, but it tries to address a problem bigger than the movie itself. It tries to address the need of all Khan who are not terrorist to be recognized as innocent. It tries to address the basic simple fact that even if not all Khan are terrorist, a handful still exists who are. I should not take liberty in writing Khan as a terrorist or not, but it is the message conveyed in the movie. But it is where it leaves me confused. And I don't know why should it not leave you in same stage.
The movie shows 9/11 attacks, and that cost life and loss in millions of dollars. It is claimed as a terrorist activity ( and I personally think it is one of those activities) , so is it not feasible for the country who has been attacked in the back by some loser fundamentalists to turn back and try to find out who is that Khan who drew the airplane right into Twin Towers. Is it not feasible for a country which had the first dose of real militant power to cut through the covers and find out guilty. Is it not depicted in the movie itself that there are Khans, who are not only terrorist but making more like them ( remember mosque scene, the doctor was a Khan, who was a terrorist, strictly as per movie). I still wonder if 9/11 was a retaliation attack on the power of world ruler, and would the attackers not known that innocent Khan would be targeted. They knew it, but still went on with it. Terrorists don't have a religion, but they do carry a name.
All said and done, Khan is not a terrorist, but who is the person in Jammu & Kashmir who is killing innocent people. Must be an innocent Khan, who was trying to play with his newly  acquired AK-47, or improved RDX , with no intention of killing, but the bullets in those machines do kill. They don't know who they kill, but since 1980 they have been puncturing Kashmir like no other. They are still doing it. I don't understand why. I see so many Khan living so peacefully in India, they are sheltered by India, they love India as other religion, and India also loves them back the same way. There will never be a condition in which My name is Khan is shot in India, because we know the fact that Khan is not a terrorist. But then, is he really not.
I fail to understand if India ever attacked any country, or had seized undue or unfair advantage ever in history so that it bears the ire of terrorists. I still fail to understand the bomb attack in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Delhi, Surat, ahmedabad and so many other Indian cities that his blog will have virtually every major Indian city striked by terrorist who is not a khan.
The way the movie is made, and the message it has it pure and crystal, Shah Rukh Khan is not a terrorist, neither is Rizwan Khan, but the way the world is today is because of someone who was a Khan and a terrorist.  

He is Back ... .

There was a time when the industry boomed. It boomed so fast and at such a pace that workers were roped in from other countries, so called skilled workers. These skilled workers loved the salaries they got, freedom they had and the money they were awarded. The Dollar Income was always the strongest, and appreciated. The economic deep down of 2001 crashed a few, who went back with what they had, others fought through. Few had Green card dreams, other were getting on being citizens, and the recession was not deep. The dollar was alive and US was still a leader, so still is.
But the times change, and good or bad, are over earlier than thought of. From 2001 to 2009 , the years evaporated in thin air, H1 rules became easy, skilled workers were replaced with workers, and pockets filled with more money. This was normal here, but back in India, this inflow of money caused a major shift. The IT cities got expensive, people now calculate Dosa with $1 or $3.99, or Idly plate with $7.99 as in US, and ready to give the amount. The normal guy does not understand the equation. And now comes the great daddy, year 2009. Jobs vanished in thin air, dreamed crashed like fragile glass, the clock started eating savings, the house suddenly got more expensive and insurance sky high. India seemed to be a better place, and moved back. The inflation which was inflicted by Indians in US in India got heavy on them, the market is worst and salary is no where comparable to US one. So still determined to fight it all.
Came in 2010 with a new hope, the guys who are in India are back. They heard US economy is getting better, some jobs are there. Let us try if we can, let us go alone and seek another chance. May be another chance and I wont be broke anymore. May be they need to understand ,they are not broke , but the next recession will not leave them anywhere else. He like them is the broke, and he is back with a permit to work in the US of A.

I Phone / I PAD Application Development

this article should end up in some technical blog section somewhere but it will be my mainstream topic. For there are so many things one i-phone app development desire teaches you. Few are :

• Nothing in this world is free 
• You can always find a way out , even if not free 
• If you want to pay, you will end up paying as much as you want. 

Now , I had a desire to do some I-phone application developement, it is one of the best devices i have, and i love the applications, and thought how wonderful it will be if I can develop my own applications. And so whats the pre-requisite.
When i started writing this article , it was for I-Phone, now it is for I-Phone/Ipad.
I - Pad is a real re-Invention of old I-Pod Touch, which is a discovery of I-Phone Minus Cell Phone.Well, after looking into I-Pad , i am more inclined to write a first sight not so love review, and how happy I am to buy a Mac Book without waiting for I-Pad

The i-Phone application is relatively easy, and the learning curve for simple applications is not steep. The learning material can be found at http://www.apple.com for a price though ( it was 99$ , if u dont have an apple account)
To develop an i-phone application , the first thing you will need a little knowledge of Objective-C ( a flavor of C) , a Mac OS , I-phone SDK ( available free ,2.5 GB in size) and another spare 99$ to host it.

Once done with the inital development, install the I-phone SDK, and open it. Easily though , click on New Project, and select Windows Application. Now Click on a file whose extension is .xib, it launches the application interface and a window. Select from the option in the new window, and change the background color or text , add a button. Go to Edit -> Build Project and Run . I phone simulator launches with no coding . And here u r with ur first i phone app dev.
I will be updating it with screen shots in i-phone section on www.iknowjava.com

Flexing The Power

So Finally, Its IPL3, and indian premier league is again the talk of the town. Ideally this article should be written here , but for time constraint, I am going ahead here.
So the main point of attraction is the Pakistan players were not picked up  by certain teams, and caused a fire as widespread as anger within. The reasons given by franchisee was simple, they did not knew if there was another terrorist attack planned on India in future, and again players might not come into play in the country. I am in no way accussing any country of any such activity, I am just looking into past with sight on future. A general layman would not spend $ 200k, on something he fears he cant use. So here the fact is said. No one is picked up.
Now the fire is there, so there will be useless politics. It starts with players who were priced high and thought of making good money. Disappointed ! I would be, for not picked up when I can be taken up by a team and make a million bucks in a month. Now comes the next layer, basically the people who wont benefit anything from it, like the chairman, manager and so on. They stand unfazed and tell others not to be disappointed. But then , next day, as always they have been since the creation, changed the stand. It reminds me of chameleon who changes color with the situation. Next day was coming down and critising.
Now when done with shouting,( i could use better terms like useless drama), and no attention paid to it, more press statements come out. Where the hell were the statements when Sri Lankan Test team was attacked. Where were the statements when KKR finished nearly last in 1st version with the best player , who was banned by your board but cleared for IPL. Why, is discipline only required in national sides ?
Next , when whole world published statements and Mr Modi just came out with an honest answer, he could have said , ask Francisee , they didnt find the players talented enough, so did not picked them up. If there is a problem ask the people who selected Bond and Pollard. He did not. He is such a liar that he spoke truth. Bitter as it may be , but true. The world accepted, not the one who were left out.
Now since IPL is going ahead without any other distraction, another non-sense. Virus. T20 is virus, and is this a reason why parasites won it easily. Is it the reason why players are so desparate to play for it. Is this the reason that the form of game be abolished, just because a few were not capable enough (whatever be the criteria) to get into top 15 bracket , taking 8 teans (top 120 ) .
Come on !!! give a break. We all know what T20 is, and we enjoy it the way it is. Still did not work out,
so comes the last one.
INDIA will one day rule the world cricket, and not any other country. Well why is this the feeling of RULE, or taken by someone so strong that fingers are taken out without any reason. Just in matter of months, there is a concern world cricket will run by Indian Cricket Board and not ICC. Exxageration. India have money power, the foundation to exhibit and audience to enjoy and flexing its power in the same way. The people left out are as always trying to complain, crib , attack ( on moral nature) and using the old ways of not living and not letting others live.
Well time for cricket to move on , and decide whats more important, loyalty to nation, entertainment, fearing india will rule the world cricket (as it is doing now by being at number 1 in test rankings) , entertainment, auction of players or just shouting the injustice which is by-product of sins as performed

Kite Flying

Well, for second time in US i had the opportunity to fly the kites, and it like the same old spirit of freedom to traverse the sky, brought back the old memories. The times in May - August and beyond when flying kite was a passion, not a hobby. When the best times of my childhood were harvested with a loot of stray kites endowed upon the roof, few went into trees and remaining reached skies. When our hands were full of useless band-aid, tapes and hansaplast(for those who remember), still failing to the cutting strength of that millimeter thick string and ending the day, each day, with a useless index finger, a tired body, paining arms and lots of homework to complete in the night.

Well those were the days, and even today when I have those memories, it is still impossible to imagine that we still are as busy as we were then. The kite flying is not an activity but a passion which should be seriously taken upon, helps the child to think out of box, and i can give another 100 reasons to do so, just because it has been one of my most missed memories. No more. There are kites here, and so are the winds. Enough enthusiasts to start the activity any time of the year. And the kites of plastic and thread of nylon, who cares for rain and storms.
17-Jan-2010 happened to the day when we celebrated makar sakranti, or lohri and had kite flying activity for the kids, and those who are kids at heart. Kids of all ages participated, enjoyed , laughed , smiled , shared strings, and bonded to each other more than that string which is there in the sky. It is no longer a wonder for me how important that is for me, and why is it done to mark the celebration of independence. The only missing feeling was the weak string which we could get other kites down, nonetheless it was fun to fly in as proclaimed free liberal land.
We can do it regularly, we have kites, the strings, time and most important the ever enthusiasts for the event. Lets make it a habit, to do it here, here in US. Join hands , call me , try to do it with us. Trust me , more we are more we will enjoy and better off we will be.
Lets spare a thought for the same, and let the spirit of kite flying enlighten us on each and every step till the final step. Hope to see you share your kite flying experiences with all of us ..

NRI

It was the morning today, and we were casually striding through the streets of Fremont, when one of the topics came up for Haiti relief, and how we are donating for the people affected by it, and then as most conversations go hay-wire, so did this one. And came the topic of people having green cards, citizenship and how my own website www.usarefugees.com is more suited for people holding H1-B as refugees now. Well, again someone said if you are more than 6 months in USA , you are NRI. I heard so many instances of non-required-indians or non returning indians settled in USA and not thinking of coming back. So I am also in the category of Non Resident Indian and will have to try my level best not to end up as one of definitions so talked about. But are we any less Indians, are we any less patriotic, and may be painful , the answer is NOT. And it will be revolting when   I see the Indian children growing up here better patriotic than those i saw in India. Americanisation or westernisation in India is more than that in America. The young generation is here much more conservative, much more careful, modern yet traditional values. The situation way back in India is different. For so many people ask about freedom in US, it is freedom of speech, of thought , of looking in oneself. The freedom in India is no less than in US, nor it is money affect, it is the direction of thought process.

Direction of thought process ??? In India we are looking forward to be modern, to be one who wants to be liberal, who wants to be modern , who being free in mind are still enslaved by thought that US is more freedom, the thought process is wrong. What happens when we come here, got the freedom. Now what you want to think. and to implement. Most of us stay in home and crazily sleep through weekends, and have a freedom of relaxed life. And a big tummy to end it.
So lets face it , better english , better lifestyle ,more closer to the nation, because with each thing there is one  comparison, same thing in India , good better worst but never the same. Let me  tell you , being NRI is not bad , but one should go back to india or be indian at heart ...

Rhythm Divine ...

26 years old. Our friendship life --ages old. Dont really remember how it started but i do remember he was the one who stood with me in all my times, good or bad. The times when so many lost confidence, he carried me through. He was and is one of those who inspired me to be what i am today. We have not only done so many things together, we have had our share of fortune and misfortunes.
Let me recollect some memories :
Year: sometime in 2003
Bus Number 140 :: Crossed Bye-Pass.
Event : Physics Sessional Exam
As he got into bus, I was having fun, talking to Richa, and he joined. Yes he was, because we have laughed out stomach out after the exam. The teacher sitting next to Richa was our Physics one ( i should say lecturer but sadly my school teachers were better designated as lecturers than in my college, Salwan Public School and MontFort ). I dont know what pun was, but I was telling how pathetic she teaches, how little is her knowledge and what she thinks of herself , so is no where closer. And Rhythm tried to tell something, i didnt get the clue. As we came down he told, Shiva was sitting just where u were standing. So i gave the exam really carefree ... and got highest marks then 3.5/30 :)

IIT KGP :
This was where we really got going. With our first Robot Car and untiring zest to survive the night and the day, The time was not good, here we lost the tournament ( we managed to impress and get appreciation alongwith certificate ) and there India lost World Cup. Majestic Sachin was out for 5 and our champ Rhythm, could not control the robot for long.
Well , times changed , we both joined hands and then went out to make a cliffhanger , then rainwater harvester and in the process fertilized the seeds of friendship more than any harvester can, still are, and touchwood will be long time , say like forever ...
Miss u Rhythm

Las Vegas Trip ... 1

First Long Weekend after a long time , and second last for the year. Merry X Mas , 25th of Dec is on Friday and ripples apart all those people who wanna have a long weekend away from home in most entertaining way , but are often compelled to stop by project constraints , time constraints and even financial constraints. The rates of hotels shoot up like there is an emergency, the food chain maintain the cost but quality or quantity dips , the accommodation is poor and streets are crowded. People who live in San Francisco travel to LA , LV and people from those sides come down to SF .

So again i wanted to use this opportunity , and the plan was hatched a week ago ( prior to 25th Dec) and I called ande ( Mayank) and set up the meeting time. The plan is now set up to meet, on 24th evening at ande's place, 25th morning to Las Vegas and

then on 26th to Grand Canyon and back. But one thing that still left me thinking was the fact that

ande said if i come on 25th , he wont let me in the house till 3 am for till then we will be in Strip in Las Vegas. 
I then called Mayank and asked him very silently in dead of night, Are u in LA or LV. The answer as expected 
was not in a single line, it had to come after a long lecture, and it came. For all the slangs u know, for all the 
things heard of, he said , and then, you coming to stay with me without knowing my city. 
Well he was in Vegas, so plan change. No LA now, direct to LV and then Grand canyon and back


So we started for Las Vegas on 24th Dec from Fremont, and then there is a problem. We dont have a GPS holder ,
so the navigator becomes holder as well. That was not much of a complaint as we had a single driver throughout. 
Estimated Drive : 1200 miles

Trip Start : 330 PM Fremont 24 Dec 2009
Occupancy: Deepak , Gopal , Bhooshan , Kamal 


Pretty much smooth track right into the point where we entered a good complex near Barstow. We were hungry and one of us has repeatedly told about Denny;s
So we were in Denny's still thinking of driving right into Vegas (would be a long trip for Kamal, 550miles + at a stretch) and so wanted to do it fast and get going. Got a long way ahead, and we sat at a corner. After sometime when no one came then we realized we have to go and get it ordered. So here we were laughing on the guy who said he loved Denny's because then we knew it was his first time too in Denny's. Well, the food was good and we were re-fulled. Then we took a coffee from seven-eleven, and refueled the car ( which was drinking gasoline as thirsty camel) . here we start again and we touched speeds of 90mph , or maybe even more. Time was getting on us, and we were thinking to stop somewhere in night. The road was dead , for long stretches there was no vehicle in either direction, unlike the review we got that there will be a big rush to Vegas on 24th Dec. We sped , possibly overs-sped and realised it when we say magnificient red blue lights blinking in our cars out of nowhere. And we stopped in a shoulder.
It was ice cold and i was virtually not wearing anything, when the window pane rolled down. It was cold windy and possibly killing me, at temperatures reaching zero on a windy highway and cops directing flash light in the car, and very humbly asked the question, "Sir , do you realize what speed you were on", we knew we are gonna have a bad time here now. "88 it was, may i see your license", and he went back. Coming back only to tell it was 65mph limit highway. Hard luck, the ticket is gonna come now , and we decided we will share. but we cant share the increase in insurance and the traffic classes one has to take. Well , one thing was sure , we are out of money and we are going straight to Mayank , no stopping anyhow, anywhere.
(to be cont)

Earthquake in San Francisco

yes yes, it just happened. The earthquake in the golden city, and the one i feel is the most unstable one. I have got used to shivering chairs, trembling tables ,shaking floors and veering vehicles. I also saw the column in bay bridge falling off 3 months back, and the busiest of cities just forgets it like it never happened. But each shake shakes the nation , each small divide paves way to bigger one, each one of us is still worried about this unstable city which is so vibrant and multi colored that even Las Vegas seemed like a rural place.
The best dressed girls, the tip top gentlemen, the expensive yet extensive downtown and floors and floors of shopping complex as full as the items in them. The capital of land of opportunities, rightly called as Golden city because it actually is a gold mine, but i got the tremble once again. Someone passed by my side, but i am still wondering is the construction so weak or the earthquake so feeble. But then everyone in the office felt it , yes it was ... another shaky earthquake in San Francisco today and I felt it. Did you

APPLE people Fooling Customers

I was talking to a Apple regarding the $728 discount price , no where in the website it mentions Maryland or any other stuff.

Either Apple or the people employed by it are trying to give Apple a bad name , but its the end customers who face the problems.

FaceBook Net Working .... not Working

Its been a while i opened the Facebook account, just because I wanted to check out which is latest buzz in market going to give competition to google's orkut , which was one of the first social networking site. The People using Facebook overgrew those using Orkut, mostly due to the apps it supported. Over a period of time , FB started showing Ad posts, and even asking people to join it ( at a price). Then the greed grew.

Few apps started pouring in , Mafia Wars , Who Loves You, Most Romantic , Your Favourite Cookie, and it went bersek with lot of 18+ apps also coming in , without security check. It asks for a simple permission to use your and your contact details to access the application , and we innocently say "Yes"

YES , we can say for our accounts, why the hell should it get the account details for people of my family or my friends. But then , there are millions of accounts , and most of our details are out to the advertisers who keep on monitoring our movements , even though we have no clue we are sitting on the other side of Two Way Mirror. Well , thats not enough , this is not the end of evolution as you might say

Privacy is at stake. If one person is tagged to a photo in some other world, all his friends can access the entire album in which he was tagged, whether or not the person who tagged the friend want them to see them or not.

Wait , its the last one , and possibly the most frustrating one , the live feed. This live feed gets details of all the friends , and all the activities of all the friends over all the medium. An ideal person with 50 odd friends ( u expect this number to reach in social networking) , will be seeing updates of his 49 friends multiplied by number of friends each of his friend has. His status , comments and all other things disappearing in the process. Also getting on the screen the people or the matter he does not desire to watch. There is a reason this person has 50 friends , and not 51, may be he does not want the 51st friend , but he can see his /her updates and other way round.

Facebook , this is socially notworking ...

An hour in Darkness

This is 1st day of Sept and its all dark and black. An eclipse over everything , google mail is down. and what can you do about it , if you dont have a back up. all mails are pouring in gmail , some life saving, some time pass. And top it , we have so many things up there , that i am scared to death thinking if the account is being hacked. I have trust in google. But why should it be always. Google Mail has been best, but then so was Google search engine. So was Google chat, but MSN BING (ref: http://msnbing.net) and yahoo search combined to eat up search share, facebook ate up chatter boxes and the timely failure of gmail lead all to twitter. The world is so interconnected. Hotmail took up all , then yahoo with private chat rooms, then gmail with embedded chat and now , its facebook with social networking chat and twitter to inform all the friends. Do you Tweet. In this fast paced world , when the world never sleeps, then a trip was not expected , and without a warning , never. I just hope my mails are fine in there, and so is my data. The next thing is to get all my stuff on my personal web mail address , and just in case you need a personal web email of your name, which is more safe than gmail, feel free to ask me. I will help you.
But this hour has not only left me hitting Refresh more than frequently, it also has scared me with one think .. what is Google is no more ...

The Urge ...

Its an urge , to be the BEST. The better than anyone else ever, not for you, neither for me, but for all. An urge not to be just another, a desire to be perfect , a knit to be strong, and a zeal to excel. A zenith looked upon, a shinning titan, the most luminous Deepak, and the majestic stride towards being the best in the place where experts galore, and humane exist. To live the life as supposed to be, a healthy, ever smiling, and acronym of what most would refer to be THE Life to live. Not the one to show anyone , but the one which radiates. The light is possibly the lightest thing in the world, an invisible refraction which makes everything else visible. I urge to be the light, and as my name would bring me an inch closer towards becoming the One, the hurdles are strong. A silent sea does not make a sound sailor, a smooth path does not make a perfect climber, and a career ridden without failures wont bring along learnings. Career like life, like relationships is a mysterious combination of ifs and buts , and the timing of each of them. If she loves me now, if i lose the job now, if she goes away , if the company fires me ... the life is as easy as you can think , and as complex as you can make it to be. Have you ever tried to play with strings, more you play , more you want to play ,and a small mistake integrates over the length. Let say you use earphones and have to hurridly keep it back in a bag or wallet or purse, and next time the jigsaw it is. Same is with life, and i urge to keep it simple.

The urge exists deep in me, in each breath i take, and in each form i play to excel, to be recognised, and above all to be looked upon. Dont let this urge to start and end with me, I hope you get my urge to be the best , and then look back in you and find the answer to what you urge for.

The Swooshing Sound

wheeeeeeew ... the life as it passes slowly, each second , just as i type and you read. The slow second , slower the minute but faster the time. I can count 10 seconds and by the time i think i did it successfully, another one escapes through. Just like an atom to the molecular existence, the second is second to none, and the minute is no minute a creature. Time heals, it also injures. Not only is this time responsible for smiling faces, it is also the one to be blamed for broken smiles, shattered hearts, lost hopes and faint faith. Time is always cursed for being bad, each one of us, including those reading this, dont have much of it, yet its same. For a good job interview or for a coffee with a friend , we have "lots of time", but when we are with our friends, the time is less. We sit for hours together, as if thing of yesterday, and when leaving with only 1 thing , times up , or time to sleep, or time to go.

Am i wrong to compare time to fate, only we dont have a clock for fate, but fate is not with us when time is not right. Or wait for correct time to hit, and at that time fate will be with you. Is it the same component disguised in two different forms, or are they two different monsters altogether. Time is right but faith not with you, or faith... err. fate (last one also read as fate) . It is a complex situation and more we think the worst it gets. It is possibly not in right spirit to consider either time or fate as curplrits. It is in best health to go and shake hands with self proclaimed enemies, sit down and decide on when will it be on your side. Listen to vibes, get a sixth sense, experiment, and try your best friend Luck.

If i consider myself, i really became so insane and crazy that it really did not matter to me what is time, or fate or luck tries to do. I go and try to do the best i can, keeping myself as a priority, my amusement as motivation, and self satisfaction as aim. These three things in place, rest of it comes down as if type casted. The times are bad , not for one , but for many , but not all sit back and curse it. People work, and try to do things, vocational, inspirational and motivational. Sometimes, the break helps a person to re-discover himself, few things he forgot working for last 5 years day in out , what he is capable of. What he can do , and more importantly what he must. A fresher in industry at age of 21 if remains so at age of 28, then a break is needed. That helps a person to know he has graduated to next step, and even without realising how important or useful he has become, he should not mentor his loved ones. Spend more time with family, enjoy life to full, and above all , defeat time in a race against time. Always thanks time for being on your side, and tell time you got ample of it. Shake hands with clock, wrestle with fate, keep faith intact and believe in good. What all happens , happens for good.

Time is a T junction followed by an ego I and Me .... A joint that is disasterous , but when rearranged can become a miTe (might) a force to rekon. The tick tock sound of second is not as heart breaking as swooshing sound of time, but more or less is still the same. Indentify and then , strike when ready. Make friends with all , and be happy for a long long time.
