Moments and memoirs from my trips and treks and things I would like to do before I die. Saturday, July 24, 2010. Blog XIII of Thirty Days – Thirty Blogs series. A funny thing happened this 18th July, I jumped out of a perfectly working airplane from 13,000 feet above the ground without any strings attached. The reason behind this insanity can only be explained once you do it yourself. Ever since I came to know about skydiving during my studies at Texas A&M. That conducts tandem skydives at HALF the price.

Friday, March 26, 2010. Driving test ki kahani, meri zubani. Subtitle: The story of my driving test. The story starts about three weeks ago, while in between fervently typing my thesis and preparing ppt, I decided to go for driving test under the misconception that my IP was about to expire in few weeks. I was a bit anxious but nevertheless went in boldly. The lady asked me to parallel park which I did with ease. I was elated as if nothing could stop me from getting a license now. Links to this post.

Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega. In an earlier post. I talk about how love for one and all defines the essence of good character. You might think that what has got into this nerd who keeps on talking about love so persistently. But frankly, it is just a set of coincidences. So lets get going with it. Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega is a phrase in Hindi which means Every Heart That Loves. Apart from sharing the title with a moderately popular Bollywood flick. So my concept of normal day has bee...

Being Me: Teachings vs. Rituals
http://sprabs.blogspot.com/2010/07/teachings-vs-rituals.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. Teachings vs. Rituals. Blog XVIII of Thirty Days – Thirty Blogs series. Any religion consists of a set of teachings and a set of rituals. While the teachings are THE most important thing in any religion, rituals are the means of achieving/assimilating those teachings. Teachings are the very crux of any religion. In any religion an enlightened/sacred person is one who has understood it. These teachings represent the very reason for existence of any religion. Om mani padme hum.
