Be water, my friend!
I was finding quotes to put in my sidebar, when I remembered my most favorite one. It was said by Bruce Lee. I like him not because he is a martial arts specialist or because I like his movies, or any thing of that sort. I respect him for he was a sort of philosopher (for the lack of a better word). He read many books and his ideas and philosophies were really awesome..
He developed the 'Jeet Kune Do' which means the "way of the intercepting fist". Even in that you can see that his ideas have been infused. His theories are really amazing.. For example, my favorite quote is:
"Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend. Adapt!"
I came to know about him through a documentary on discovery channel a few years back. It was an awesome compilation of his life, his ideas and his works.. truly amazing man!

Snowed in!
Whoa! I just had the experience of my life! I went to the lab with my friend, and we were doing our work, when the snow got really thick. The weather reports were saying that it would get better, but it didn't. We were just snowed in!
Then after some time a trip back home had to be risked. Otherwise we would just remain without nutrition or sunlight, the former being the most important! ;) But it was cool coming back! (and I MEAN COOL!)!! :) We walked through like more than a feet-thick snow, n were we glad when we reached home! I'll never forget this day, and the snow ever!

T.G.I.F! (Thank God! Its Friday!)
Got up late today and found I was late to the class for which I am T.Aing.. There was some jhol with the alarm. It was unbelievable! One minute I was like: "Hahn! What time is it again?!", and then the next minute I was brushing my teeth as fast as I could, and getting my things together! It was a 'sudden change in momentum' as one of my Physics TA friends said.. I ran to the class. I was late by 10 mins.. hotha hain, I know..
A friend of mine keeps talking about anxiety level and how it keeps you going. For example while studying for exams, if your anxiety level is not high enough you won't be tense and won't study for it. This is often the case with me. But if its too high, it may make u so nervous that u get jittery while writing. So its all a trick of maintaining your anxiety at the right level.
I feel that even for getting up early in the morning, you need to maintain a steady anxiety level in your subconscious level. You need to remind yourself that you have to get up early the next day. Otherwise its most likely that you won't. If you maintain at a high enough level, you may not even need an alarm! Think about that!!... hmmmm..

Music....
Before I posted this, I read up some articles on the net about the positive and negative effects that music could possibly have on humans.. It was really interesting, and I still have a doubt as to whether all those effects are really possible..
For me, music is life. By that I don't mean that I have to only sing it always, but I have to also listen to music a lot. I agree completely with somebody's saying that "The only problem with life is the lack of background music!'". I would love to listen to music everytime and everywhere - while I'm playing, eating, studying, lying down 24x7, though its not possible.
The first I hear a song and enjoy it, the situation and my surroundings are completely stored in my memory, cross-indexed to the song. So that whenever I listen to the song, I remember the surroundings I was in when I heard it first. Also whenever I'm in that place or surrounding again, I remember the song..
Like this, I can remember the song I heard when I went with my family on a road trip to Bangalore, the song I listened I listened when I was in first year (when life was all screwed up!), the song I listened to recently in lab.. everything.. I even remember the feelings I had when I listened to it!
Its just awesome what music can do.. really!
