The Water of Life.

"Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life." - Jesus Christ.

I was standing there, alone looking at the ocean. The big blue which has always astonished me. How big it is, and how great of it to stay calm inspite of being so huge. How many lives depend on it for they say there are more specie in water than on land.

But what happened last week, has shaken the world. How many lives have been lost. How many people made homeless ?

When I look at the ocean now, makes me think - "Is this sobre giant capable of such a destruction ?"

I guess from now on, I might fear to use these words - "God Speed" !

Existential Angst ?!

DCP, Gateway, VoIP, ATM, Primary Database, Backup Database, Replication ... these are some (the only) words I get to hear at work these days. Gone are the days when I used to teach internet troubleshooting. Ah ! my technical capabilities have grown manifold. But is this what I wanted to do in life ? I think today, of the days when i used to dream of being an airforce pilot. Whew, things have changed.

But one thing is not clear yet, why do I have a wicked smile when I see the Times Ascent every wednesday ? Why do I wish I had a bigger pay check. I had a small pay check, in CVG, then a bigger one, now an even bigger one. Still there is one part of me asking for more. Probably I should stop drinking Pepsi (Sorry Naveen, I took your role for a second with that PJ).

Is this what they call an Existential Angst ?!
