A Poem for Everyone

IF - Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;


If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;


If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Hola !!

Its been a month since i returned to bangalore now.. i came a week before exams started.. studied quite a bit, for a change. Exams really screwed my over.. as they usually do but lets forget its over.. anyways after exams i saw 3 movies Da Vinci Code, X-Men 3, & Munich.. while all 3 were brilliantly made flicks i muts say x-men was kind of a let down.. i expected more from that movie.. they tried to put too much in to litle time..

Da Vinci on the other hand was a really good movie but as always the books turned into movies r beter in the book form.. anyways Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou hvae done an excellent job playing their roles in the movie.. but one thing that v sorely miss in the movie is angdon's thought process.. how he decifers all the codes and stuff which is there in the book.. anyhow the producers tried to incorprate that in the movie and were successful to some extent but not wholely.

Munich was based on the effects of the murder of 11 Isreali Olympians in the Munich Olympics.. How the Mossad (the isreali intelligence agency like CIA and MI5) reacted by sending a team of agents after the people responsible and the affects it had on this team.. This movie is one of the most powerful movies i have seen in my life and is the best made and the most realistic film.. this is a must film and should be seen by everybody.

Well after the movies my internship started.. i'm working at Deutsche Bank, Bangalore.. its interesting work.. learning loads and loads about investment options. Mutual Funds, Stock Market etc etc.. other some inportant stuff has taken a back seat for now.. dunno wat i'm gonna do about it.. cant figure out anything.. anyways the future is clouded in a heavy mist.. cant see what i'm doing.. can't see where i'm going.. Its only time which will tell if i took the correct steps or if i stumbled and went wrong.. lets see what happens..

Dunno what to write more so i guess i'll just leave it at this point..

Cheerios..
