time lessons
In 2003, I attended the Global Young Leaders’ Conference (GYLC link). It was a life changing experience for me. The shy, quiet and reserved boy broke out of his cocoon. He began to take action and talk to people more often. Yes it changed me a lot.
A very important phrase I learnt at GYLC was the one above. It was to make sure you were there for all the events. The events were tightly integrated on an itinerary and hence if you didn’t follow this then trust me you would have been left behind.
I can’t say that I’ve followed this mantra since then. However, I think its one of the most important lessons I’ve learned. I would like to utilize this in my daily routine but procrastination seeps in at times and I get complacent. I keep this as a wallpaper now to remind myself to get back to work and focus my energies effectively.
Only if Firefox had a feature wherein this image was flashed once every 30 minutes then I wouldn’t spend so much time reading RSS feeds.

I’ve only made a widescreen version, I will create a standard resolution too and upload soon.

Yet another cryptic caption follows. A walk down South University St. and its easy to miss this old and decrepit structure. Campus Pinball was an active arcade in the seventies. However, all that remains today is this shuttered structure with a colorful two-tone signboard. Its a reminder of what used to be in this town. Now it stands there watching itself and the time roll by.
