Musings of a common man. Monday, August 24, 2009. Ome tomorrow and what will be the toughest two years of my life start off. Tough not insomuch that the stress and the pressure is something I am not used to, but because how I perform in these two years might very well determine the course of my entire life. But that’s for tomorrow. For someone who’s never done anything remotely adventurous so far, I found it to be absolutely enjoyable and a greatly intoxicating experience. Zipping. Tie and Snowy have bee...

Musings of a common man: May 2009
http://vivek-d-reddy.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Musings of a common man. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. The Congress' win, and in such an emphatic manner, is perhaps the best news that could have emerged from what was otherwise a most . Disturbing and uninspiring election in my memory (which isn't much, but it's a damn figure of speech, so get on with it! I will not credit the electorate with much; after all, if they were so keen on the Congress, why not a repeat performance of the 1984 elections? It is baffling to see how a potential alternative, the BJP.

Musings of a common man: An Ode to Friendship - II
http://vivek-d-reddy.blogspot.com/2010/07/ode-to-friendship-ii.html
Musings of a common man. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. An Ode to Friendship - II. Aristotle says that friendship is one soul dwelling in two bodies. One wonders then if one has more than one friend, does it mean one is constantly inhabited by a number of discrete and different souls, each dear to us? It is an endearing thought that one is bound to one’s friend(s) by a bond far greater than that of time, for whilst time moves on, the soul is immortal (and my apologies to any skeptics out there). Agree with the ...

Musings of a common man. Monday, July 04, 2011. Happy Independence Day, USA! So you are 236 years old today. A hoary age for any nation; eventful - and you have had your share of events. You have lived the words of James Russell Lowell in his Stanzas on Freedom. Is true Freedom but to break. Fetters for our own dear sake,. And, with leathern hearts, forget. That we owe mankind a debt? True freedom is to share. All the chains our brothers wear,. And, with heart and hand, to be. Earnest to make others free!

Musings of a common man. Sunday, February 08, 2009. My best friends' engagement. Today two of my dearest friends got engaged, and that to each other :) , making the occasion even more special. Those who had seen them first bump into each other 6 years ago knew that something special was going to happen, something lovely was going to come from this meeting, and it feels so great to be vindicated all these years later. Here's wishing them both a very happy life together! Raju and Nami, this one's for you!

Musings of a common man: March 2009
http://vivek-d-reddy.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Musings of a common man. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Last year, around this time, with my GMAT score in, an MBA didn't seem that difficult a goal to achieve. But then a week is a long time, and a year even more so, and what a year it has been! 160;Of the 11 colleges I have applied to, all save 3 have sent in their polite regrets. Each passing day fills one with despondency; the realization that it's now or never doesn't make things any easier to bear. I could always hide behind the excuse that the recessi...

Musings of a common man: Choices
http://vivek-d-reddy.blogspot.com/2012/08/choices.html
Musings of a common man. Tuesday, August 28, 2012. What are the choices before us? And do we have it in us, as a nation, to recognize the problems that bedevil us and to solve them as a nation? Have we, the nation that bore the great Buddha, the man who advised humanity to give up, for the sake of salvation, the notion of the personal ego, become a nation of egotistic maniacs? Or were we always this way – concerned solely with our personal ambition and welfare, the rest of the world be damned? The act of...

Musings of a common man. Friday, July 24, 2009. Tick tock, goes the clock. Just 10 days to go before I leave and the finality of my departure is finally beginning to dawn on me. There was a sense of excitement and eagerness that accompanied the shopping; an anxiety that one should be adequately prepared and should have everything that could conceivably be needed when one reaches one’s destination. And to the next two years at the. Links to this post. Friday, July 03, 2009. Links to this post. Why must we...
