Engineering Keeda!

Tools ready; Link removal in progress Yesterday was a day well spent. To start with, I almost did a Ph.D on Tire pressure, what should be ideal psi for cold weather (Yeah it snowed in Denver and my Jeeps psi indicator started blinking showing low pressure).  I thought that was my achievement, but No.  Links removed!!Yayy!! Perfect Fit!! Complete Satisfaction :D I had got a new watch for myself and as usual they were a little large for my wrist. So I was wondering where to go to get it resized, I did a google search to find a watch repair store near me. And, then just like that, I searched "How to remove watch band links" and I got a number of videos and links. I clicked one of them and saw that it can be done in house.  Well, the keeda in me started wriggling; so I decided to resize my watch in-house. I was a bit nervous; for one because it was an expensive model of Marc Jacobs watch;but then I thought, it's okay; worst case I wont be able to remove

जस्बात

Pain v/s Suffering

One of the dialogue by Francis Underwood, in the opening scene of the Netflix drama series "House of Cards" goes like this, There are 2 kinds of Pain. Sort of pain that makes you strong. Or useless pain, the sort of pain that's only suffering. I have no patience for useless things. Moments like this will require someone who will act, who will do the unpleasant thing, the necessary thing. There. No more pain.  True. I cannot agree more to this viewpoint.  It's left to our intelligence to choose the kind of pain we have to bear and the duration we need to suffer and the manner in which we choose to endure the pain. Everything is in our hands.  The sort of pain that makes us stronger, physical/emotional/mental, no matter which one, is always good. It's food for enhancing our strengths and abilities further. But the kind that makes us feel miserable, that constantly deteriorates us in all realms (physically/emotionally/mentally), is USELESS.  And such pain
