Carpe Diem

So as a kid who just finished off with college in India, you would know that there isn't any time for relaxation. We Indians have grown up in a system where our lives are already pretty much written when we start with our education . Although it doesn't feel like it , growing up with all the fun and play. Once you reach your 10 or 12th year of education you start feeling the pressure of choosing a stream to study after and slowly from there its starts to snowball ! Not many people can escape this system and you are generally just get stuck within. I, myself have fallen prey to the whole thing. But it isn’t like we are without a dream , a dream that someday we are going to travel the world , a dream that someday we are going to jump out of a plane at 15,000ft above sea level and just shout our brains out and these dreams sometimes get sidelined and we go about our lives like robots been preprogrammed with the same unchanging software for life. We don’t take risks , not many of us do at least. We shy away from stuff that could excite us but at the same time poses a risk to the schedule or to the savings that we probably have stashed away for a rainy day. These are very understandable issues and I face the same one a daily basis. But before you know it , there comes a day where this has all gone by and there is nothing left but regret and none of us what to see that day ! That day will be painful evidence to how we have just let all our time fly by without ever trying to break free and explore life. To do all this breaking free, exploring can be hard , it can be challenging true. But its in the small things everyday like mixing up your schedule ! These tiny things like probably trying a new healthy recipe if cooking is your thing , or buying a cycle and just riding to an unknown place , making love before work ! And then gradually one by one move on to bigger stuff maybe traveling or just in general trying sometime you feel strongly about ! Learning a new skill , writing a blog , exercising, making a new friend for instance somehow in small ways add the light to your life and can always add a positive vibe to your everydays. So try making the most of everyday take hold of the system , don’t let it take hold of you.

Carpe Diem.

Good Idea 101

Like most people blogging these days or All people blogging these days I’m just looking for an canvas to paint with my life stories. My name is Sinclair, I’m Indian and stay in Bombay. This city is probably most known for it being way too crowded , fast paced , noisy and on occasion just plain unbearable. For me it’s just something I’ve got to adapt to - the lifestyle the pace, the incredibly annoying climate and the people among other things!

I’ve just moved here probably like 5 months back and landed this pretty sweet internship. So now i get to experience the pace of this city that literally doesn’t sleep (which can get annoying if you use the Virar trains) moving with the flow of all of the few million commuters travelling to and fro to work or just wherever they are going. Like all big busy cities Bombay also has its share of pros and cons Pros - Cheap food (always the best pro)         - Cheap travel (mostly)         - The people can be pretty warm (also mostly)         - Festivals here are celebrated with nothing less than a bang here in Bombay, so that’s nice, Loads of culture to soak In. Cons - The crowd          - The DAMN CROWD!!!!          - The climate          - And how could i forget, The crowd :| But then again i guess you can’t really have one without the other, you've got to learn to survive.

Over this term of my internship I plan on exploring quite a bit and that’s mostly what this blog is going to be about ( i guess). I plan on unloading off all my valuable experience to anyone willing to read this.

I don't really know how regular I’m going to be with this blog , I am a pretty lazy guy ( but I’m not usually doing anything at my internship ! So I'm guessing it’s going to be pretty regular) . Been wanting to start blogging for a while now but just couldn’t get myself to start ! Anyways that it for today ,You’ll hear  from AllThingsBombay soon !

Cheerio!
