Hundred thirty seven

I almost forgot to write. Lost in watching YouTube. YouTube is one of the best places to learn new things and the greatest sucker of your time. I have tried many things to escape from its clutches but in vain. You should never give up! Keep trying.

I am becoming more irregular in blogging. Some days I found it stupid and other days I ignored it. I should admit that the internet is the most wonderful thing happened in this millennium and the internet is the one which took away valuable time from all of us. I keep fighting this and losing most of the time to the powerful INTERNET. I should not give up.

Now it is 12.20 pm. So I happily wasted half a day of the holiday. In the morning I was thinking great things to do, even tried to learn "The Maths". But by 10 o clock, I had become what I am! When you waste time, one strange thing happens, you feel like munching something unhealthy. I don't know why that happens. So I had planned a big heavy blog post such as what to do with life etc,, now I am letting it go, no more feel like writing heavy stuff. For the moment let me not fight with "the philosopher" side of brian I will be happy today being "the lazy".

Some tasks look very simple and we think that that is so easy to do. However, the simple things are most difficult to do. I was supposed to sit quietly for 5 mins per day. It is more difficult than running 5 km. If you don't believe me, try it out for a week. I think and plan so many things and all of them look so easy and I feel I will do them with ease. But when that moment arrives I am lost. For example, I had planned to leave office one hour earlier, still, I am here sitting in front of PC and reading some stuff.

From the past few months, my skin allergy has gone up. It is irresistible and you end up scratching and more you scratch more itching will popup. I found the same thing with shopping. One lens review would lead you to the shopping site and you are looking all around. This leads to taking a look at a new camera or a tripod or a flash. The chain is endless. Forcibly you move out away from the internet, it will subsidise and senses come back. It is true with itching also. If itching temptation is too high, you distract is by watching something or reading something or go for a jog, it will subside and eventually disappear.

When I am cycling or walking, I will get some ideas and plan to write on them. But I forget it later. So next time whenever I get an idea I should write and keep it. The weekend is getting over fast many things to finish. Tomorrow morning I should go for photography for sure. I also plan to go for a long cycle ride. I purposefully won't do it, or Youtube is stealing it? I have no clue. Getting inspired by reading great stuff is so easy but putting that to action is so difficult. I have to find ways to get rid of short term gratifications. Oh today, I am also supposed to learn some amount of Video editing. I have to finish that, I have set a target to myself- if I complete making the video, I will buy that software.

All life is a race. Shall I pause and enjoy or work hard and do something great? Why we want our names to be remembered forever? What drives a  few people beyond their limit. Aren't, they fool, not enjoying a the day to day life? Afterlife is over, you don't exist and whatever you achieve or don't achieve immaterial — plenty of confusion and controversy. Here I am, caught between a lazy philosophy and becoming a great philosophy.

If you drink alcohol, in the morning you will have the hangover. It is valid for mindless wasting of time. Whenever I spend hours on review sites of camera, lenses, automobiles and bike, I feel the same. Just like alcohol, time wasting is also an addiction. From many years I am trying to get out of this but failed. The only positive thing is I have never given up. I wish before I cross fifty I will spend time meaningfully.

 You are free and drift into net surfing without any purpose. Once you are there, you try to find some meaning, some reviews, random pieces of news to follow. This could easily consume 2 hours are more. After that, how will be your mood? Well, my spirit will be very low. I keep all day to optimise the time, and in between, I lost 2 hours, I feel frustrated, cheated or kind of hangover.

I think I should make time slots for each activity. More than that I should have a list of things that I could read on the net.

The other topic is about top universities and schools. Are students admitted go to IITs are successful? Or is these are great learning places, that would make an ordinary student to extraordinary student? I don't think so. All top universities are top universities because they get the best students, in terms of intellect and hardworking. These students have a very high rate of peer learning than learning from a professor. Exceptions are there, but often it is peer learning. If you really want to learn something new, make friends who are good at that subject.
