Excitement - Can one live without it?

yeah zindagi kis tarah kahan mod le le kuch pata nahi chalta.
sometime it takes a right /wrong turn and some times a U turn... but everytime we turn with it, it takes us to a new destination... even a U turn u see life in a different way altogether... with all these twists and turns in the life there is always an excitement...
life - i feel when on a single straight track becomes monotonous and boring... maybe i would like to have a life like that when i age.. maybe jab mein budda ho jaaonga... that time i maybe i would just relax or god knows what... thats not for now...


at 24 i would say i've seen enough turns and twists and U turns in my life... and i look ahead to many more... everytime life has moved away from the straight track its got tons of excitement into me... new destinations, new opportunities, new people... These changes/turns have fuelled one thing - an urge to do better in life... Excel in whatever i do... Be on the TOP... neeche se nahi upper se... for a change.. ha ha ha

Excitement is what has been driving me all the time.. when excitement starts fading off i start to get restless. its good and it bad too... sometimes

I have been very cruel to myself a lot of times... maybe all the time... or should i say i do things my way...

driving life the way i want it to has got me in a lot of troubles but i have come out clean and with a new experience and a lot of learning all the time... thank god.
I was talking with this person... this person has been following the foot steps of i dont know who... Albert Einstein maybe... that made me think and i asked myself... have i ever done that??? I have never followed anyones footsteps... i make my own road... this is one reason my near and dear ones go mad at me... i dont know why i'm like this... but when i see a footstep there i would like to change course and make my own... i'm so crazy... but i do things my way... ah... i confess.. at times i'm sensible enough to make a couple of compromises here and there ;)
I listen to only a few people... my boss... who has guided me always... and my family... its a change in me.. positive or negative that time will tell... ;) for now its neutral..

This is what excitement does to u... u never follow a path... coz if its tried and tested then there would not be much excitement...

if i look back at my life... its been pretty eventful when i compare it with the people around me... my family n my friends. The graph of my life would look like the Himalayan range... or the Rocky mountains.. ha ha ha
but there has been on thing in specific that has kept me going... Excitement...

Its good to be excited... but excitement has to be in the right direction... if not... u end up doing everything wrong... I Thank GOD for keepin me on the right track and keeping me excited in the right direction... being true and honest to my self, my family and my work...

Work... ah... My work is my biggest passion... its always excited me... I work best when i have tons of work... i'm excited to finish it... i agree sometime i have bad days too... and that happens to everyone... but when i'm back i'm all excited to make up for the lost time... I love deadlines... being from a software background i seriously know what they mean... and i'm so happy that they are the same in sales too... i feel sales deadlines are more crucial than Software deadlines.
Sales is revenue... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY... HONEY!
By the way...
I like realistic Deadlines :) Realistic deadlines are challenging too... they can be achieved only with hard work...

Sales numbers excite me - when i see the numbers rolling like an australian batting score card... (i achieved that in the previous quarter) wish my score card with clients start to roll like that all the time...
well... visualize this... if i'm a batsmen (coz i like to bat) and my client is the bowler... The captain (clients management, VP's etc) is deciding who should bowl... the decision is taking too long... and since i'm waiting for them to bowl... i'm patiently loosing my patience... and i'm getting frustated... but not loosing my cool over it... thats my best Quality...
Well.. i dont blame them... they are going thru changes... but i just hope they dont take too long... 'Cos my boss will ask me... "Hey Naren, What have u been doing this Quarter.... we havent heard from u. looks like u still on a Zero this quarter?" I know no one likes 0(zero) on the score card especially on a sales score card. Even i hate it boss, but is there a way i can help?
Oh god WAKE UP MY CLIENTS... I start my day in excitement... excited to see what my client has in store for me...

Since the time i was a kid, when i used to see a mountain i always felt like climbing it and conquering it. a road thats goes further than i had to go... i wanted to go ahead and explore that part of the road as well, wanted to see what comes next... Excited to know where it will lead me...

Today also i'm stranded on one such crossing in life where i'm waiting (i hate to wait)...
I'm waiting for some one to come along...
I'm alone I'm stranded...
r u coming?
