About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience and appreciate different cultures and people.

ABOUT ME

I am a kind of a person who can notice the pretty flowers shimmering in the sunlight but not their prickly thorns. I always try to find out a silver lining in every cloud , though I usually get it there but unfortunately whenever I changed the queues, the one I left moved faster than the one I joined later.

For me it doesn't matter whether the glass is half full or half empty , what matters is that whether it needs REFILLING or not ! I simply don't believe in "I CAN'T" rather i believe " I WILL BE ABLE TO..." . Even today when words like affection , love etc are thought of as being obselete , I am still a traditional person - not at all scientific minded. For me there is no use of living in a world where a person gains the whole world but loses his soul.

I am commonly visualised as a book-worm by majority but believe me I AM NOT. I remember sitting in the class, feeling my eyes burning, dodging inquisitive glances from all sides, and anxiously awaiting the bell to ring - but unfortunately I had to bear the whole long class because of attendance issues.

What I have learned about myself and the world will without a doubt contribute to my success in life , but what I have learned about other people is of the greatest importance. I have started to believe that In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities becase Love is like amountain-hard to climb up but once you are there , the view is beautiful.

I've changed considerably over the last few years. Finding me-time and having macho meals is a dream now ! I have been a real news grazer and have started to believe that the only difference between a hill and a pill is that a hill is hard to get up and a pill is hard to get down.

PHILOSOPHY

The best way to live life is to see how people around the world are living it.
