Action items for a vacillating mind

This year has been a year of turmoil. Accident, distance from parents and brother, unplanned trip, unplanned expenditure, work reduction, career stagnation, good friends' farewells are Maddy's personal problems. Global financial meltdown too is bothering him. All these things are driving him crazy and confused. Currently, Maddy is getting lot of information and lot of distractions. His mind has never been this vacillating. When you plan so much despite being very busy there is a possiblity that you run into mental depression. That is the last thing Maddy would want to get into. He is comparable to the confused Arjuna. Fortunately, Venkat was like Krishna and it all happened during December 02, 2008. Venkat was driving Nissan Maxima though :). Maddy felt that Venkat showed him the right path for his intellectual well-being and career growth.

So, what is Maddy's action plan?
* Stop surfing internet too much
* Gather only information that is relevant
* Get into learning mode seriously and channelize every thought towards his goal
* Accomplish the first milestone towards the goal by his next Birthday (Aug 2009)

Unnecessary information is Maya. Be clearer Maddy. You have much more to accomplish in your life.

சக்திகொடு சக்திகொடு
இறைவா இறைவா

தாயும் நீயே தந்தையும் நீயே
உயிரும் நீயே உண்மையும் நீயே

வெள்ளத்தில் வீழ்ந்தவரைக் கரையேற்ற சக்திகொடு
பள்ளத்தில் கிடப்வரை மேடேற்ற சக்திகொடு

முடிவெடுத்த பின்னால் நான் தடம் மாற மாட்டேன்
முன்வைத்த காலை நான் பின் வைக்க மாட்டேன்
