Hi..this is tougher than I thought...always used to wonder why people blog...for me the reasons are simple...I've got the time. For starters, my name is J.A.. I've made about 12 friends in my life. 2 of them are dead. And last year was not good. Underwent a spinal cord surgery, contracted chicken pox while recovering from the surgery, got divorced while recovering from the chicken pox, and almost lost an eye (my only functional eye) while playing with my dog while recovering from the divorce. The result of all this, is that I actually am a spineless jerk who is half blind now. So the next time I dont stand up for something which I believe in or something you'd like me to believe in, dont be surprised. The reason this post exists is to thank a few people who have helped me reboot. They are listed in numerical order below:
1. Mom & Dad, for all the support
2. Kiran, for the ultimate philosophy. (This is ME.)
3. Rama, for coming in at just the right time (I am still trying to send you the pics)
4. Navin (for showing me the light on new years)
5. Sridhar (I miss those quality days dude)
6. Lucky (For almost tearing my eye out)
7. Mike (my guardian angel)
I have now shifted base to a beach city. Its amazing that beaches have a strange effect on your mental equilibrium, I think everyone should visit the beach once in an year. We (me and my office colleagues, nice folks) take a walk in the morning along the beach road. Have you ever felt alive in one breath? I did. During the first week here, I just went to the beach one morning, just as the sun was about to rise.....took a deep breath..it was the most beautiful morning in my life. Its amazing how god takes so much from you to give you something which you never imagined. I've learnt to enjoy the pain now as much as the happiness. There is no regret anymore, no more crying.....for when you are in deep shit, re-invent, re-think, re-evaluate, re-view, re-assess and most importantly, reboot.

Hey Dude! Thanks for putting me @ 2nd position after your mom and dad, that a great honor a friend can get. Its all that u have a mind to understand, Time-Life is continuos, some times its sporadic experiences, some we like some we don't, that defines good and bad things in life. .............. We always have a option to reboot and re-stabilize.
Doode ... dint know the numbers were rankings in order of preference... now I am deeply, deeply hurt... my mind races thru devious thoughts... what did I do to deserve fourth rank.. a rank so close to the victorious few but still not worthy of even a circular bronze bling... how can I get back into the top three. maybe if I got this doode stone drunk, tipped him off a cliff and then put him back together again.... whoa wait... would that be a reboot or a rebuild... no clue... too many beers in at this point... LOL
Thanks kiran and billy_beetle_dilly for the comments. This was more of an emotional vent than a post. And NO, the people are not in the numerical order.
