Most of us are so much confused in our minds that we actually do not know what we want from our life. This is where we need to write it out. Everytime I sit back to write it out, I spend so much time thinking about it and can't still write it. Everytime I think of my dream, before I write down I try to prioritise it. I feel the other dream is of higher priority than this so let me write down that first. And before I know it, that same higher priority dream gets de-prioritised by an even more higher priority dream. Time just flies when you are thinking, and I am never able to write my dreams.

Dreams
Every motivational speech I listened, every personal development video I watched, every book on self help that I read, they all had one thing in common.
"Manifest you dreams"

Everytime I sit back to write it out, I spend so much time thinking about it and can't still write it. Everytime I think of my dream, before I write down I try to prioritise it.

Socially Challenged
I came across this term when I was googling for articles on depression. I never knew such a thing existed, until I read a few articles and comments from specialist doctors.
Definitions:
Someone who doesn't talk much. People usually tend to not even notice them when in a conversation with multiple people. [Urban Dictionary]
Communication is a very important part of socialising. And not being able to talk does give you a disadvantage. I always believed that talking is just one way of communicating and there are other equally effective ways of expressing oneself, until recently. In one of the episodes of Splitsvilla on MTV, one of the female contestants said that she would not even look at the guy who can't talk. This is one hard statement, but I think its quite true.
The treatment??? Experts say, 'Keep saying that you are not socially challenged' and go out and talk.
Are you socially challenged?

WAR - What could be the possible indicators to look out for? Below is what I think one should look out for.(Between two nations)
1) Prolonged rivalry or antagonism.
2) Sudden situation of one getting better, while other getting worse.(economically, technically, globally)
3) Unable to pressurise each other through international bodies.
4) Third nation fueling the conflict for its own benefit.
5) Starting open blame game and showing resiliency to it.
6) Discussions by both with international bodies and super powers with motive of gathering support.
7) Identify political situation, economic situation & international support
8) Identify current military preparedness. (Identify your strength)
9) Identify important cities and spruce up the security.(Identify your weakness)
10) Compete with Strength display exercises.
11) Blocks: trade, entry into the country.

MBC
"If you can't convince them, confuse them"
MBC is Management By Confusion.
It's a great tool in the CYA (Cover your a***) category. When you are not prepared for a meeting but you need to speak up to make your presence felt, MBC comes to your rescue. You talk and create confusion and call for a next round of meeting.
There's a lot of MBC going on recently where I work. Since there is no clear direction from the senior management as yet, the middle level managers are all going berserk. They are doing things which doesn't justify their actions and creating more trouble.
The other way of looking at MBC is when the person quoting MBC is stupid to not understand what is being done or said. For him, he is totally lost as he doesn't get the direction and feels others are creating confusion.
If someone says there is MBC happening, either he is right or he does not have the full picture.

10000 BC
I am learning newer and newer things every day. My vision getting broader and broader. Trying harder and harder to look at the bigger picture every day.
Every time I learn more, every time I know more - every time I feel so small. When I knew little I was happy, But now I know more. My surrounding environment has grown - from myself to my family and my relatives to my community, my society, my nation , my world and my existence.
I could relate this to the movie 10000 BC. A hunter who could not find food for his family leaves his home in search for food. He comes in contact with other tribes and a completey different world. His vision broadens and he feels responsible for a whole lot of people now than his own family. He fights now, not for himself and his family, but for all the other people. His family has grown. His environment now much bigger.
But for his wife and kids, he is lost. They felt that he no longer cared for them. His son felt that hi father is running from his responibility.
What is happiness??? Having a closed environment and enjoying life with people within or fighting for a whole lot of people.
Can all people have a broad vision and still be happy?

Shell Scripts
In ancient times, when there was no paper, learned men who wanted to pass on their knowledge wrote their manu-scripts on stones, barks of trees, shells , leaves and so many things. Activity so called as script writing.
Yesterday when I was told I have a 2 day training on shell script writing, I was amazed and immediately this thought came to my mind. Wonderful it would be, to learn writing on a bark of tree or a leaf or a sea shell or using a chisel to carve a stone with my scripts.
Suddenly reality crept in. I am an IT professional, working on the foremost in technology that man has ever invented. Quite virtual, where even if you write something you don't acually have anything physical to show that it is your script/writing. I was being scheduled for a unix shell script language training.
