Lucky Fish or Lucky Six ?

My friends say it is the lucky fish whereas those who know me back from my school days say its obviously the lucky six. Well, whatever the reason maybe I learnt being patient and not loosing your cool pays off at times. In my last post, I mentioned how I lost my wallet at the Dunkerque Carnival.

I was one of the lucky ones who managed to catch a fish thrown by the mayor of Dunkerque from the balcony of the city hall at some hundred thousand crowd who were all drunken and hungry to grab a fish and get lucky. Its believed that the smoked herrings bring you good luck the whole year. I badly needed some good luck to compensate my series of bad luck years in the past. For those of you, who have never been to the Dunkerque Carnival, it may seem that "What's the big deal ?". Well, go there and give it a try yourself.

It was the 6th of April, I received a letter from the local police station stating that they found my lost wallet. Although most of the cards were blocked but at least I was happy that I got my wallet back. I had made a wish after catching the fish to find my wallet back.

Confused amidst Alas and Hurray !

It's the last day of the year and it feels like the year started just yesterday. I always take a moment on the last day of the year to reflect on what I've done, what I've achieved and what I've experienced during the current year. Should I be sad that 2011 is about to end or should I be excited about the arrival of 2012 ? I ask myself this unsettling question at the end of every year and yet I could never come up with a tangible answer. I guess Syrus rightly said "Not every question deserves an answer." 2011 has been like a roller coaster ride for me with both highs and lows. The important thing is I embraced life as it came to me. I learned to be patient and how to say NO. I realised the point of travelling is not to see all the tourist spots but to relax, have fun and to experience the new culture. I visited 6 new countries (Croatia, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy and Poland) and wished I could travel even more. I grew a serious passion fo...

A Night of Inspiration

I often think that the night is more alive and colourful than the day. It's the time when my mind takes a stroll and give me ideas. It gives me a chance to analyse what's going with and around me. Night has always given me the motivation to keep on moving. It inspires and reminds me that the chase to become a better person is not yet over. I don't know when will it over or if at all it will be over. I don't know how would that better person be but for sure I'm not him. Night has taught me the 3 Ps (Perseverance, Persistence and Patience) that my father always wanted me to learn. It has taught me to look a person beyond his colour. It has encouraged me to try and to do the things that I would never do ordinarily. What I take from my nights I add to the days.

Life in a Metro

The other day while I was in the toilet, I did some quick maths and figured out that I spend 270 hours a year on an average in the metro. As I have nothing else to do but to wait for my stop to come, often I observe the fellow commuters. Where for the most part, I share my journey with people who are confined to themselves as if they have been sentenced to a solitary confinement or a high school couple who are completely oblivious of the fact that there are also other people surrounding them and think the metro to be the best place on the earth to make out and to prove their commitment towards each other; I often encounter some very peculiar people. - The Vibrating Dude : He always makes a grand entrance with a smirk on his face. The bloke should be easily in his 40s if not in the 50s. Every time I see him, I find him with the same attire; a cap placed at 45° angle, a Redskins jacket, an Aeropostale Tshirt, a Kaporal jeans, a Redskins shoes and a handbag which looks like a music ...
