Abhinav: It isn't about getting paid. It's about payback. And who made the "rule" that vengeance is bad? Come to think of it, if you are religious, or even otherwise, if you have read any religious book, God takes "revenge". He exacts his vengeance. And in your theory of "God", you paint God as the perfect being.....and yet, if as a human you imitate God, that's bad????? C'mon....

Apart from that, who made the rule anyway? And why don't I have the right to take vengeance? It's not abuot going out of the way to harm someone for revenge.....but if the opportunity cames my way to get back, I will......and, frankly, SO WOULD YOU!!!! Most people don't admit it. But revenge is something everyone desires. The reason you don't see it happening too often is that people don't get the opportunity...that's all.

All the BS about "it's bad to take revenge" and "Fate/God/Karma will do what has to be done" is exactly that...BS!!! And even if it is true, who's to say that I am not the agent selected by this Fate/God/Karma to settle the score????? OK, now this is getting long........maybe I'll post on this on my blog :D

Zarine: Every single one.....brilliant.....but you already know what I think about them.....perrrrfect....

Cheers!

Now I understand why my coment made in the Haloscan box vanished into ether.Now, I don't even feel like repeating myself again, but still...
That rings so true, Zarine, so very true!!
If I was to make a list of my own, quite a few items from your list would find a place on mine.Keep it up..
By the way, if you still need something centralised for the comments, you can try out fizbox.com, which I happen to use on my blog

@ Mike - Take over my blog's PR work ;)

@ Rajesh - Patience,patience...the day I get bored of this template,I'll surely change it :P

@ Susie Derkins - Lol,yeh can get what you are saying.But most of it has come from working with all sorts of folks in my B-School.Believe me,unless one has some set rights,the world is all ready to trample over you. I do agree,few of the stated rights might have to be negotiated with once I get to working,but the bottomline remains the same - I dont do anything till am comfy with it.

@ Sameer - Yeah I know,I did read that comment of yours on haloscan..and was shocked to see it disappear too :(.Hence those shouts!

Regarding the rights..well I feel,these are the pretty basic ones.After all,if one does not have the freedom to do what one to,as one wants to,what kinda freedom are we talking about? :)

Principle 1.

Waiting for returns somehow robs life of its precious moments.Return of a loved one,return of a gesture,return of a call,a SMS,return of the Jedi..err,tht's getting too much. Waiting for something big,eventful to happen.It never really does happen,does it? Setting huge long term goals,looking at the big picture,thinking about the future...bah...aint it boring? I never believed in planning,coz they never worked for me.All the plans I've made so far have met the same success as fish living in a frost free fridge.And the analogies I make these days suck as the Microsoft Products do.And am not talking abt their vacuum cleaner.Old joke,I know. So,what's the point in giving ourselves the false hope of a security and control when nothing happens as per the plans? The level of comfort it brings might be a good carrot,but it's as comfortable as lying on a rock and imagining you are on cloud nine.This was bad too,I agree.Thank you. I've decided to take lil decisions everyday.

Killer V.

Vengeance is a powerful driver. It takes you over and makes you lose sight of sense. To give back as you got it gives one a sense of Power. The power to make/mar someone's life. In the heat of the moment - when the other person is at 'your' mercy - you have to make the call. Pull the trigger or let him go. All those past moments flash in your mind, hormones start racing your heart and you pull the trigger. Peace. Its over. Or is it a begining of a tumultous future? I have seen people take revenge. I remember that smile on their face and their emotionless eyes. Some people hurt/kill others to remove all that symbolised a painful past. They think by removing that person, they can shrug off their past. Or if they give that person his 'due', they'd feel better. It's been a while since I saw someone, who destroyed/spoiled someone else's life, lead a peaceful life himself. Has anyone of you witnessed this? Not taking revenge is considered a sign of cowardlines

Principle 4.

Before I forget,hello...am not on a preaching program!!! I already mentioned in mah Principle 1 post that these were the lil rules I was setting for MYSELF.Read that again.MYSELF.For Zarine. Toh dont blame/criticise me if you dont find them fit for yourself...and btw,after Princi 1,I've stopped listening ;). And now the last(!!) principle for this season.Once winter strikes in 2 months,we'll (I,me and myself) will be back with a new set of the same :D. Dont carry it too far.Yepes,that's the princi 4.I was thinking...would it be better to frame it as "Draw your lines",but for those who arnt artistically gifted,I wont make much sense.But,hey,wasnt I writing these for myself? Whatever. What you give to a relation.What you demand from it.What you expect from the Indian cricket team.What you expect from the Meteorological Dept.What you expect from Airtel (Grrrrrr).And the likes.Dont let it cross the rational limits.Airtel service personnel believe in Hutch.High time I
