Just a day ...
I filed my app for B school yesterday. A process which was in my mind for more than a month now. I interacted with multiple people, got it reviewed and finally took a call on putting myself on paper. Did i know myself so well before this? Never knew writing about yourself can be so difficult. As usual, i found it difficult to express myself, but still did it finally. :)

Now you know why biographies sell like hot-cakes and why we pay so much money to read them!
And yes, do you think you know yourself well now?
hmm.. good point of thought!! :).. I never thought on line of biographies. It will take me lifetime to know myself, but i have started thinking. AND i always thought that my brain was a dormant organ in my body.
Isn't this amazing that you used your brain to think that your brain is the most dormant organ in your body? :-)
I don't think it should take a lifetime for anyone to find out oneself. Its question of understanding what are your feelings and admitting that you also have desires, aspirations, pleasures, frustrations, anxieties, anger and sorrows. Its just a question of being true to yourself, if not anyone else. No one can be perfect, but everyone can be correct about what he/she is doing/has done/will do. Life cannot be absolute, it will always be relative, and that means what correct for you, may not be correct for him/her. Once you realize this, I guess you will understand who you are and why you do the things you do!
Well, I am myself trying to do that since some time now. :-)
I will probably agree with you to an extent here as well. However, knowing oneself has never been easy in life. I went to a village this weekend and happened to reach a stone cave. This cave is an ashram which is run for orphans. This cave is supposed to be a home to 22 kids and 2 women. A lady from affluent family has been a part of this simple life for 26 years now. Why did she come here? She says, " I was searching for myself and i wanted to know me well." While i dont agree to the concept of running away from world to know urself, i do agree that self search is a question for lifetime, primarily because it is non constant. What she told me made sense to me. She said let the mind monkey go in all directions, burn your hands with everthing that you thought is you and finally you would know what is it that always existed in you. I might seem abstract here, but i will try to explain the same in my blog later.
If you think a bit more deep, you will realize that you are speaking the same thing that I commented.
Just push yourself a bit.
Okie!! I did not want to start an extremely serious discussion. As one of your blog says, this is a place to blurt out and blurting out dsnt essentially have to have logic. Kyun ubharte hue kalakar ka katle aam kar rahe ho Utkarsh :)? Aapko mere blog ka address kisne de diya? Thanks, i thought i had done some real creativr writing out here. Anyway, i found writing essays diffcult and i feel i am bad at expressing myself. Phir kyun hum biographies aur ashrams ki baatein kar rahe hai. It was a simple thing. Just that writing on a paper is difficult. If your name is not Utkarsh then you have more self analysis to be done to be yourself in world then i have to. :)
Garimaji,
My nick is Utsarg, not Utkarsh! And I never wanted to kill your creativity. Ubharte hue kalakaar ki kadar hai humhe.
Aapke blog ka address aapne hi diya hai humhe. Aur aapke essays ko humne 10 baar padh ke aadhi raat ko reply kiya hai. Chalo koi baat nahi, hum to bas aaise hi hai... muh uthaye chal dete hai kahi bhi.
And I hope you understand what utsarg means!
Got it!! Itne bhayanak arguments aur koi ni kar skta. :) I know who you are now. Theek hai!! We can keep arguing for rest of our lives, but as usual, we are talking about the same things with different logics.
