Living and Loving it?

Amazing thought came to my mind today, when one of my friends asked to me ...dude! is it better to die or wait for death? I thought the answer was obvious - death. Waiting is more stressful whether its for death or groecery store bill payment it hardly matters. Especially to a impatient person like me.

Then it struck me : Isnt life the whole of it - a form of waiting for the inevitable "death". So if waiting is actually worse, then the people who commit suicide actually are right. There is some inherent contradiction here, due to factors which i am overlooking. Ofcorse life and death cannot be talked in these simple terms. But still I wonder whether this logic is what allows the people who commit suicides?

Logical mind may come to good conclusions, many time correct ones, but often the conclusions may go out of focus, especially when all the factors have not been taken properly into account! Thats common sense, still can one be sure if he has accounted for all the factors ... something seems so blatantly simple that mind ignores/mistakes the inherent complexity!

Instructors Permit - Kidding me?

Well this Instructors Permit concept in US totally extraneous activity. the test begins with making you understand how the software works and this is the list of questions:

1. What is your name:
2. What is your date of birth:

and guess what its a multiple choice mania. After some hard work at determining the above quesitons, the real fun starts:

They show you a sign which shows a road narrowing down and these are the choices provided to you:
a) This is one way ahead (really now!)
b) construction site go slow (yeah right!)
c) The lane narrows ahead (duh!)
d) School ahead (are you kiddin me!)

I mean with this kind of options you need to be some intellectual to answer! Even studying the driving instructions book wont do!

Then there is another awesome facility, if you dont know an answer you can skip it till the last (the test has no time limit, by the way). and in case you answer 80% of the questions correctly you dont need to take the rest of them (Ha!). Now the most difficult of the questions are the ones where statistics are asked. Some of the statistics are like crazy again:

1: How far (not approx, exact) do you have to stop from the vehicle in front of you if you are driving at 20 mph.
a) 25 ft
b) 19 ft
c) 28 ft
d) 33 ft

now can someone tell me how easy it is to judge whether you are 25 feet or 28 fet from the front car!

Well the worst thing isnt the test, the worst thing is I actually spent time readin for it!!

The lack of space

When I bought this 200 GB hard disk, I was pretty sure I wouldnt need any more hard disks. 5 months into the deal, I am already considering buyng more space. Well firstly i decide to have collection of movies and games but later, I got some good collection of songs that i cannot say no to.
Pink Floyd
AC DC
Metallica
Eminem
etc though not my type of music, is worth a collection. So now have too much to handle. Lots of music and movies still to go into collection and no space.

I think I will delete my backup, but no its important too. Another $200 down the drain very soon for more space I guess :)

Energy Drinks Saga

What can you do without these energy drinks. Red bul, No fear they have become not choices but necessities. The only way to survive todays presures and work load.

They are effective and sleep reducing, but how healthy are these supplements to keep awake? Three must be some research in this area.

ITs fun though, working in lab whole night with a dose or two of enrgy drinks, something I like to do. By the end of the next day you will be so tired that you will sleep without any thoughts any memories to haunt you. No longer counting sheeps. Insomnia has its answer in these I say, let us make good use of the ime we have got on the earth - working.
