Celebrated my best friends birthday in style! Great Indian food (very expensive though), adulterated alcohol (diluted beyond belief) and an hours journey to get back home at 4.30 in the morning.
The whole experience made me wonder if I should quit drinking. Something that I have been wondering for a long time now, is whether I really enjoy drinking or I do it just to avoid becoming a social outcast? Should I quit once and for all?
Felt like ripping that Halo off - do i have valid points or is it just my mind playing weird tricks on me, trying to comfort me by giving me reasons to justify my actions. I thought of having a confrontation but then held myself back. Will it change anything at all? Want to sit and chant to figure out if it is the wise thing to do.
Have become very very lazy when it comes to chanting - just as I am slapping the keyboard, I realize that I haven't done my evening Gongyo. Thinking is one thing and doing is it another. Its only people who actually do things really succeed in life, others simply don't go beyond thinking.
Plan to do a lot of reading during my extended break in India - want to expand my horizon of knowledge beyond the academic textbooks. Current affairs - India, Cultural Diversity, Autobiographies, improving analytical reasoning, work on my algo skills, photography, photo editing software.
People say - its useless to make a plan on a vacation. But knowing myself and my MBTI personality type, I feel I achieve a lot more when I put down things in writing. I do not want to come back to NY with a feeling of regret at having wasted time in India. Time to jot down things ..
