An Entry Picked from another blog :-)
I find a nice post in one of the blog that i've come across randomly, and thought of posting it here, as it will make an interesting read! Here it goes ..
Once upon a time a man lived on a planet called the INTERNET, otherwise known as ONLINE or the WORLDWIDE WEB. It was a wild, spooky planet filled with nations, towns, villages and houses called WEB SITES. Each web site was governed by A WEBMASTER, who was generally addressed as the President, the CEO, Prime Minister, Mayor or even Big Boss. The official government security system of the sites was called SSL, although there were many private firms such as Verisign, Norton, McAFee Suite, BullGuard 6.0 to name a few. You had to be careful with Internet housebreakers who called themselves HACKS and the con men who would try to SCAM people out of their money. Some people would go as far as placing FIREWALLS around their homes in self defense. If this was not enough, the Internet was inhabited by creepy, crawly creatures called WEB CRAWLERS and SPIDERS who would search insidiously for people, places and things. Children always screamed in fright when they saw them. No one wanted to see one, but they wanted to see you. You could remain almost invisible to them unless you OPTIMIZED or put your name in the Internet directory. The Internet police would do SEARCHES to find people and other things online. They used SEARCH ENGINES, a rather frightening vehicle that could make a HIT (not an accident), in seconds.
On a less frightening note, the people who live online would drive from place to place on the busy INTERNET HIGHWAY. They would shout "yahoo" as they passed one another and sometimes slow down to GOOGLE at ADS on billboards(a rather dangerous trend). They had to be particularly careful at major intersections such as COMMISSION JUNCTION, or they could get HIT. They would mainly entertain themselves as they travelled by listening to music and the latest events on RADIO DOT COM, one of the major Internet radio stations. The broadcasting was done mainly in TEXT, the main language of most speakers. HTML was the other Internet language, but most people's eyes would become glassy and begin TO GOOGLE if they heard it, because it was a strange goobly dee dooky kind of thing that only Martians speak.
The people living online deposited their earnings at CLICKBANKS. DOT NETS were their main source of recreation and included games like DOT TENNIS, DOT TABLE TENNIS and DOT VOLLEY BALL. Some people even insisted that SURFING was an all year activity, although others seriously questioned this. Never mind, the SURFERS said, what could be stranger than bogeying all night at BLOGOSPHERE, that crazy Internet disco? I would like to live on this planet. How about you?
"Choice" VS "Fate"

I wonder whether the activities that we do, participate in, contribute to are a result of the conscious choice that we make or a result of the ( 'i take as it comes nature' ) fate? The question that i'm trying to find an answer is very simple and straight forward. If you are working and go for a lunch with a group of colleagues/friends, then the act of going with a particular set of people is a conscious choice or a case, where in you've not thought much and carry on as it happens. That is one small example that i've mentioned. We can put across the same question to every act that we do.

What i've observed is that, we make a choice for the first time, and we keep repeating the same choice and it gets habituated that we dont think about it and as time progresses it becomes the fate. In other context, we dont have any choice to make and we go with the fate and try to get the best from it.

As i mentioned that i try to find an answer, the answer will not be a straight one... that it should be a choice or it should be a fate one. It can be either based on the context. If you enjoy by taking the whole responsibility of the outcome of any act that you do, then it is better that you take a conscious choice on every act that you do and this ensures you to give the complete feeling of ownership. Contrary, if you believe that the outcome is already decided and time has to reveal the destiny, then believing in fate will work!

You are what you are because of the conscious and unconscious choices that you have taken so far and the circumstances, destiny that has happened and which is not in your control.
And so, choices are very important to make and which will decide your tomorrow.

Life is a choice and NOT a compulsion. With that note.. adieu for now!!

All Thoughts Jumbled, It looks like..... the below passage...

Wake up to a shiny sun - Jog for a fresh air - Read a good(definition is important) book while having a cup of coffee(flavour is a variable) - work out at gym (self believing as stallone in the making) - Problem Solver(yes, you solves the problem) to both trivial and critical ones - Dance on the stage, as if you know nothing about the surroundings - Play badminton with furiousness and at the end you play good badminton -

Long ride on a sea shore - A close hug to soothe your senses - smart chat with your lovely friends - Ride bike for a long distance(feeling like a champion of bike sports) - Enjoy the sounds of metro life - learn doing something new - Get to know the latest updates - play with kids and relive your childhood - buy choclotes, stuff that you cherish you buy when you are a kid - Dress like a CEO and give a presentation -

I belive in keep it short and simple (In short, KISS) and so want to end the passage here... and nevertheless ... it continues....
