Financial Meltdown

You ever had that feeling of utter dejection over something which sounds ominous but you don't understand... That is the exact feeling i have about this whole financial meltdown happening all over the world....

2-3 weeks ago i was a carefree man with plans of saving money for my MBA and quitting in an year or 2, finishing my MBA and touching the top of the world... I know it sounds unrealistic especially for me , but i like to have my own fantasies...

Then i heard about the bankruptcy of Lehmann Brothers.. This was followed by some more interesting news about the other giants like Morgan Stanley, Merill Lynch and AIG.. Add WaMu and some other smaller financial firms and it almost sounds like doomsday has arrived... But the bottom line is i just don't understand whats happening...

Things sound bleak... Things seem bleak.... People seem dejected and optimism is the last thing floating around... but still i am not able to bother myself enough to find out what exactly is happening.... Considering procrastination is almost a habit of mine, i feel its about time i come out of it...

So before i go out and do my research about what exactly is happening, i just wanted to commit myself so that i cant back out... so here i am writing a bunch of crap things which doesn't matter to anyone reading (which no one is according to the last count of number of views in my profile) .. But then again when i am done with my research its gonna make a lot of sense for me to write this blog as without this i am 100 per cent sure, i would postpone it again!!

Saturday Morning

Since this is going to be my first blog (the previous one was just an excuse of a blog), what would be better than talking about the team i am obsessed with, Arsenal, along with a certain other things...

Like every weekend by friday night i am done with solitary but ritualistic visit to my favourite hangout in dallas... i am also done with the mask which i put during the week (although only in office), the one where i potray myself as a responsible and hard worker... i do all this with the hope that on Saturday mornings (sometimes Sunday) i will get to see the team i am crazy about, play... i wouldnt bore anyone with how this started or what kind of obsession it is but it is an obsession.... a monstrous one...

I stop caring a damn about the world and anyone in it except for Arsenal and its players... the story was no different this weekend too... i woke up on Saturday morning early even though i had slept only at 4 am to see the Chelsea match which was before Arsenal... Chelsea won pretty comfortably... I also read Liverpool and ManU won their matches... So i realized, now we are in a position where we have to win to stay on top... It was enough to make my Saturday morning nervy already...

But then i had trust in Arsenal and their potential... I was confident we would win... But what happens? They go ahead and lose... to a team which were recently promoted... There is the sucker punch.. to say i was pissed would be an understatement...

I shouted at my roomie... Dint pick up any of my friends call's some of whom were the damn ManU fans... Life looked like getting over... Thats the problem with obsessions... They give you great joy when things go right but rip out the life of you when things screw themselves....

Anyways after that i have no recollection of anything good happening to me... Even if they happened i am sure i would have been too pissed to notice..

Just watched 3 movies, all of which were Romantic comedies... See this is what happens to Single guys... they seem to hook onto sports as if its gonna replace the need for companionship....

Anyways, I am over the loss now.... but our next match is Tuesday and i am sure i would be back in my Euphoric or Suicidal state soon...

Beginning!!

I was just going through one of my friends blogs and i was wondering what happened to my decision to start blogging many months ago.... took me a few minutes to find this page that was created by me...

With optimistic intentions of maintaining continuity i start !! people close to me would know that it is just another barmy fling of mine which i would soon forget... well, lets see if i prove those people wrong!!

Now that i have started, i am wondering who would be my readers?? Well to be quite honest i am finding it difficult to come up with even a single name.... Well maybe some advertisement would help... After all whats orkut and facebook profile for!! isnt it??

Anyways since this is sort of like a beginning to blogging, i think i have filled enough meaningless words in this post to make it look like a decent effort... till i get some nice idea to post something crazy or interesting, its me back to doing absolutely nothing!! Chao!!
