for endless hours with friends and winding up with the  jhaal muris and the puchka parties &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True that these do not constitute the bullets in your Curriculum Vitae&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agreed that these are not material from a materialistic point of view &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life demands something more isn't it ?&lt;br /&gt;Should one  wait for something more concrete ( maybe a plum job....) before it's appropriate to celebrate ??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that requires patience ....tons of it ..which I daresay I do not possess in the least measure ...and it's too late for me to mend my deformed ways...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why wait till tomorrow when there are opportunities plethora  rite now&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To look back with nostalgia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To look ahead with hope&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To meet today's challenges with a smile &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see tomorrow smilinganurag@gmail.com as an e-mail id may no longer be available&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see the birds may not chirp tomorrow... the flowers may not bloom tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see life may not wait for you till tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often people let their imagination run wild and concoct myriad explanations for such posts..So to be on the safe side ..let me clarify that &lt;br /&gt;I am not currently in the audit of Joy Engineering Ltd ( It's a client of E&amp;Y and not Deloitte) nor have i just realised that I have AIDS / Cancer ( so I am not trying to emulate Rajesh Khanna in Anand )&lt;br /&gt;It's just that it takes 63 muscles to frown ... only 7 to smile .....laziness at it's nadir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    (See even the figures are not well researched)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On   more confidential note .........promise that this secret will be only between you and me............. I am waiting for someone to get infatuated by my smile !!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9066434808638692290-7197945740481854898?l=catchanurag004.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catchanurag004.blogspot.com/feeds/7197945740481854898/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9066434808638692290&amp;postID=7197945740481854898' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9066434808638692290/posts/default/7197945740481854898'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9066434808638692290/posts/default/7197945740481854898'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catchanurag004.blogspot.com/2008/04/little-reasons_27.html' title='Little Reasons...'/><author><name>AS</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_znk5QwY6fsU/SBhHD1Ky2iI/AAAAAAAAACY/Dk0pbk3H2_o/s72-c/little.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
