An Optimist. Or Rather a confused optimist!!!!
Random Thoughts: Having quit my job recently, i am on the look out for my next battlefield!!!

Having visited some exotic and some so called "dangerous" countries, I have come to the conclusion that people in general are good natured. Its the circumstances and the times that they live in that makes them behave the way they do.

Life for me is a journey and like all my journeys I want to make every moment count. Along this journey, I have met and will continue to meet several interesting and not so interesting people. Some of them will stay with me, while some will fade away. Some will be etched in my memory while some are best forgotten. But all the people I meet will have some sort of impact in my facinating journey called life.

`The woods are lovely dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep`
I do not know who wrote the above lines, but they aptly describe my philosophy in life.

And before concluding, I wish upon all readers a famous Chinese saying:-
May we all live in interesting times.
