A glimpse from the past

Nowadays, I am poring over my old notes and assimilating my old knowledge base which I had mastered once. While poring over my notes, I came across a 6 line principle akin to what Gandhi Ji proposed as six sins. Here I am listing them for public consumption:

Knowledge without presentation
Strategy without adaptability
Preparation without confidence

Have no relevance.

Excitement without drugs
Happiness without reason
Action without anxiety

Are key to success.

Nowadays, I am missing my daily targets too often. It is bad. Really bad. When I contemplate on this, the reason is clear. I miss the target because I don't set a target. There are so many new things unfolding in life. But I am not sure about what to write and what to skip? Overall, It is fun.   Exam pressure is slowly building up. The syllabus is huge. At one point, it seems like "I know it all" and then suddenly the gears change and I feel like "There is so much to do". Deep somewhere I know it's all manageable. My only wish is to get over my inertia of daily writing. Rest would automatically fall in place. 

An old-time friend visited a few days back. It came as a surprise visit. I am still not sure about the purpose of the visit. But it was good talking to him, listening to his experiences and knowing the other side of the world.

Nowadays, most of my time goes into preparing for the subject. But the mode of preparation is very haphazard. There is no real target for any day. This is like an unforgivable sin for a person preparing for the examination. Another issue is fragmentation of the day in a variety of activities which reduces the productivity of study hours. For example, writing this blog in the middle of the day when I have so much pending all around. All it requires is some sort of strict intervention and discipline on my part. The feeling is slowly building up. Hopefully, this routine thing will get fixed on its own.

Some very important developments are in process. But dropping those details here would be unjust to their importance. Rest is fun, love and peace.
