Time .. Samay ... Kaal ...

So, here is another of my thought process which I am going to pen down. I, totally believe in the importance of time. Right decisions are good, but if the timings all wrong, then they dont really seem that right.

So, here is an example. For the last 2 months I have been really following the stock market. I followed the Anheuser-Busch InBev takeover, to the proposed takeover of Genentech by Roche. Honestly speaking, when it was announced of a possible takeover by InBev, I was totally was like 'I have to get some of that stock'. The prevailing market price at that point was $62.

I did not act. I waited, mulled, cribbed and basically lost critical time. When, the acquisition actually took place, InBev paid $70 per share. Thats like a return of more than 10% per share. Just to give the readers an idea, the CD returns are 4% and the savings account interest rate is around 2%. Genentech was a similar story, it announced Q2 profit, the stocks were stable. Then, Roche announced a possible takeover, the stocks jumped 10%.

The thing to realise for this post is not the fluctuation in the the stock market. Its just, timing matters, in all respects of life. Say, things get messed up between people. If you just sit and watch, and wait for a particular time to make amends, its quite possible you will wait all your life, and at a critical juncture realise, oops am too late. Its like a ship, heading into a storm. The decision to turn back has to be on time.

You dont sit and watch your house burning down, do you? You act. You call the fire department just in time, and salvage the remains.

Considering we are so prompt with materialistic possessions, its hard to imagine, we are so inconsistent with our approach for intangible things;things which undoubtedly are the most important. If your feelings really strong, its absolutely essential to just act on it. Please don't waste critical moments. The problem with time is, the flights are one way, it never ever comes back.


Happy and in love
I am with you
life right now
is nothing but true.

life goes on
and things go bad
times with you
were best I had

the moments are gone
and does time fly
all I can do
is sit back and cry.

how much i love
realise one day
get her back
to myself I say

I make an attempt
to set things right
earlier twas easy
now its a big fight.

shudve acted fast
i feel like a retard
getting you back
was a bit hard

just this time
lucky was I
just one way
does time fly

start ...

early morning
standing for the bus
reading in wall street
the downfall of
credit suisse

bored by the news
i glance around
stunned and dazed
am stuck aground

listen to music
in her hand a book
there she stands
with a desi look

inch by inch
i shuffle my feet
gathering guts
to go up and greet

word by word
line by line
the hello becomes
a conversation divine

destiny shines
the bus is late
for once in life
dint bitch about the wait

talking to strangers
one of the arts
precisely how
a friendship starts

First shot ...

here I am, finally writing my own sweet blog. that too one with such a WTF is that name. so, let me explain what the name means

psoriatic, excessive
khaaz, itch

excessive itch ??? sounds like a case of, well ill leave that to your imagination, but for me, its a desire to do something, a compulsive obsession to get better, excel and go atop the ladder. and how? an itch, to try something new, untried before, like dirtying hands over anything and everything that's out there, taking risks, calculated may be uncalculated but whatever may be the case, just going for it with heart n soul, never thinking about failures, thats enough, the patience is over and so is the vocabulary. but, point conveyed, hopefully.

the last point just made me realise, i gave up on the patience and the vocabulary, may be just maybe the khaaz isn't all that severe, but just for today. well its important to be pragmatic, the more the philosophy, the less the readership, that explains.

te blogs getting confusing by the minute, ans thats solely because, my roommates are just NOT letting me concentrate. so, am ending it here, a few lines of text as a contribution to the vast amounts of data on the web

next time, the itch is going to be severe, I sense an urgent need of improvement, bottomline - the more you try, the more you realise how little you can do
