There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found
While journeying east and west.
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
- Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Well, well ... I am ...
... travelling, photography, sports, work, ambitions, dreams, reading, astronomy, friendship, computers, straight-forwardness, effort, faith. Besides these what more I love doing is scribbled below ...

I am a kind of a person who'd tell you in the first meeting to stop sweating the small stuff. I would never worry about who doesn’t like me, who has more, or who’s doing what. Instead, I cherish the relationships I have with those who DO love me. I believe life is too short to let it pass you by. We only have one shot at it and then it’s gone.

The more I read others' wish-lists the more I dare to make mistakes. I relax even when I shouldn't. I have no problem being sillier than what others expect me to be. I want to take the fewest possible things seriously. I take chances and more often than not, my heart over-rules my head. I look people in the eyes. I believe in the right to keeping personal secrets as much as I believe in the power of holding hands.

I love going to all the wonderful places even when I don't have a clue as to what I am going to do there. I climb mountains and swim rivers whenever I can. And I just love doing it. I can stop my life and take a break to eat an ice cream. I want to have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones. Adrenaline rushes make up one-half of my everyday life. I love competition and I hate loosing. Skydiving is my favourite sport and rifle shooting is my passion.

Sometimes I live sensibly and sanely, I plan and I re-plan. But more often, I want to live my life more than I plan it. I've had my moments and I love having more of them. I like flowers and the fragrance of the spring as much as I feel the sadness of the fall. I play in the snow and I jog in the cold mornings. I have taken showers in the monsoon rains, I have sailed the atlantic shores, I have skied the Alpine slopes and I have flown half-way accross the world. I love going to dances as much as I love taking disney rides. And yes, I do pick daisies and I do smile at strangers and I do taste fish and sea-food whose names I don't even know. I enjoy experimenting with lasers in my optics lab as much as I marvel at the thrill of doing research work.

I don't pay attention to people who teach tension. I seek out friends who inspire relaxation and fun. I ask more silly questions and worry less about what others think of me. I am a kind of a guy who enjoys shooting paper wads in the classroom. I would stay out later hours. I watch sunrise on Sundays. I skate along the river on idle afternoons. I keep sweethearts and I know the value of honesty. I watch & feel movies. I read & taste books. I meet & remember people. I can go fishing in the middle of a busy day. I am prepared to die any day as much as I am willing to live forever. I don't miss circuses and I shout and I cry without reason. I am living carefree as long as I can, or at least until I got some care ;-)
