That above line is from the speech Steve Jobs gave at some graduation ceremony.
The thing is..For the longest time, I really didn't even know who Steve jobs was.No , really...
I am not an "apple products" user...In fact..I have repeatedly told on twitter why I never use Apple products..I think their software secrecy and business techniques which allow only certain programs to be compatible with their products thus forcing the consumer to spend more or to spend on more products that they intend you to buy ,really grates me..I am all for DEMOCRACY AND TRUE POWER OF CHOICE..if you know what I mean.But , with apple, there is no choice but to eat what THEY SERVE.You end up buying only products and programs that are "COMPATIBLE" with their products..hmmmm.
For the longest times I didn't even know of the name STEVE JOBS...
But after getting on twitter, I have met quite a few APPLE FANS..and that is when I was first introduced to the name STEVE JOBS...didn't even look him up back then...We all google, don't we? The name didn't evoke enough curiosity in me to specifically look him up ...Anyways..
sometime last year,I watched the movie "pirates of silicon valley" or some such title (funny how I forget the name of the movie but will remember every dialogue and other detail of it) ...and this movie kinda evoked my interest in the whole BIOGRAPHY part of the evolution of the internet and the computer revolution per se
Prior to this movie I was more interested in the TECHNOLOGY part of the whole of it..This movie kinda made me want to look at the PEOPLE behind it all.
Steve jobs died sometime last year..of pancreatic cancer.
Given the fact that I am a physician...the news kinda evoked my interest...Sad to see people die young due to cancer..
Anyways...very recently I watched a BIOGRAPHY SPECIAL on STEVE jobs..this documentary>.I strongly suspect this documentary is some kind of
"advertising and self promotion effort" by APPLE to uncouthly use the event of his sad demise as a money spinner for the company...Sorry for being so CRASS in my assessment of the biography film..The film was in itself nice , well made, accurate and eye opening to me....But then ,repetitive RERUNS of the biography special>> one too many times<<.just made me SUSPECT FOUL PLAY... The company is trying to make the most of his death too...no, seriously? reminded me of the time when the Royal family in an attempt to ensure that the royal wedding got as much viewership as possible kept doing ROYAL FAMILY reruns on the biography channel...weeks prior to the actual wedding...JUST MADE ME HATE THE WHOLE ROYAL WEDDING..LOL
Anyway, the reason why I am blogging about this is...is...for the first time...I actually SAT UP and paid attention to this PERSON called STEVE jobs..Earlier..I just would brush him off as just another smart ass silicon valley person who made millions..so yeah..whatever...who cares...BUT NOW...AFTER WATCHING THIS DOCUMENTARY....too many things struck a chord with me...This person ,steve jobs, to whom I was nothing but INDIFFERENT TO, suddenly looked like a strange reminder of msyelf...MADE MY STOMACH TURN OVER..seriously
First off, did you know that MACINTOSH is a variety of apple?
Anyways...hmmmmm..I should have written this blog entry right when I saw the documentary...the words were flowing from my mind back then..Now it is like DELAYED RECALL..and there is nothing SPONTANEOUS about a delayed recall.
This documentary was far better than the "pirates of silicon valley" movie..coz first off,I got to see, all the REAL FACES of all the people who worked with him from back then..I got to see videos of him actually speaking...and nothing is better than real VIDEO footage...to judge personality...eyes speaketh tons...no?
The thing is..this guy COULD VERY WELL HAVE BEEN ALIVE..had he just gone ahead and gotten the surgery for his pancreatic cancer when it was first detected rather than wait and think that he COULD WILL IT AWAY with his strict vegan diet and alternative medicine and shite..seriously...
THE THING HERE IS....
I discovered a nodule in my breast six years ago....all they suggested was a simple small FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY..and me ..being the overthinking physician that I am and coz of the stubborn will I have just like what steve jobs had....I decided I don't want any needles piercing the nodule....I feared that the FNAC would disturb it even more and the normal cells might go dysplastic..SERIOUSLY...wtf
Well, seven years later I am still alive..but see...NOT IN GOOD HEALTH...hmmmmmm
symptoms in me have changed over the past six years....body changes..(NOT DIRECTLY BREAST RELATED AT ALL..but so many health issues,SO MANY BODY CHANGES, far too many for me to deal with...unconnected symptoms..pertaining to various areas..unconnected ones...)Makes me think...and yet..even now..all i have to do is get that F(((ING BIOPSY AND GET IT OVER WITH..but no....even now..I am sitting here ..not wanting to get a needle prick..coz in my head..I feel like that the FNAC might trigger off something harmless and dormant into something dangerous...hmmmmm..THE OVERANALYZING PHYSICIAN
So yeah....well, going back to steve jobs..So many folks in the documentary describe him as his person who will brain wash himself and those around him into actually believing that something HIGHLY IMPOSSIBLE is actually achievable..and then they end up creating history..Now,THAT....struck such a chord with me...I am forever known to push myself to LOFTY HORRIBLY BIG GOALS..much subjecting myself to laughable scoffs from people whom I then proceed to describe as "mediocre souls" who can't see the bigger picture...There have been many many occasions..when these very mediocre souls...end up making comfortable workable solutions and then make me QUESTION MY OWN SANITY.Was I just a DREAMER and prolly they were the DOERS....???
Funny..how when they describe this incident where someone visits his home and find just no furniture except for a bed in his bedroom with a picture of EINSTEIN....If all of you have had the opportunity to have interacted with me on twitter..you would know about the EINSTEIN SKETCH.....(go , look it up in my POETRY AND POISE BLOG..link to that blog is on the top of the page)
They describe him as this FOREVER BOHEMIAN ...and THAT WAS A REVELATION FOR ME..coz from all I ASSUMED of the founder of apple...i just thought he would be this smart savvy person...The last thing I assumed he would be was HIPPIE or BOHEMIAN...so, yeah..The thing is..I AM VERY VERY UNDENIABLY BOHEMIAN..and sometimes this bohemian tendencies OF MINE..scare the shite out of me.....I FEEL LIKE I am not AS STREET SMART AS I would LIKE TO BE...
On some days..I just want to be like the mediocre people,them with their vying for creature comfort and all that jazz ...I wish , i was just as money minded.
I wish I was super selfish.I wish i STOP seeing the fucking bigger picture and just focus on the smaller picture..I just want to be like them..that life , their life is easier ...atleast, it is self serving.ya know>>but naaaah..bohemian tendencies are genetically ingrained in some way..CAN'T ERASE THEM...And yeah...NO FURNITURE also strikes a chord with me..and yeah..the GANDHI's pic in his living room also strikes a chord with me..AND then....I AM DISMAYED....
I am dismayed that of all people...NOW I RELATED TO STEVE JOBS..the guy..that I didn't care to even google till after he died...jeezus beezus...despite the APPLE HYPE
okay...I know It would be better If I don't mention what i am now going to mention...but this blog entry is about PURGING THIS WHOLE STEVE JOBS DOCUMENTARY AND THE THOUGHTS THEREOF...from my very system..coz first off , his death...kinda scares me now..I DON'T WANT TO DIE....yet I continue to do the exact same things that he did and the things that had he not done..he prolly would be alive today...you see..smart talented people MUST NOT DIE SO SOON...and I definitely don't want to die...seriously...WTF..
The thing is...forget the BREAST NODULE...it is a seven year old ONGOING STORY...but THE MOST RECENT HEALTH ISSUE IS FAR DIFFERENT, FAR GRAVE and far LIFE ALTERING FOR ME....KINDA negates every single plan i made for my life, my career, my other career and what not...It kinda disallows easy safe execution of all my FAR FETCHED LOFTY PLANS..and I DON'T LIKE THE SPOKE IN MY WHEELS..get the F***KING spoke out of my wheels, please!!!
Anyways...the thing i was gonna say was about Steve jobs' face...The whole time i saw footage of his pics or videos of him speaking..especially THE YOUNG HIM...i was reminded of this one other person i know...and he is someone that this other person I know is very fond of..Incidentally, this other person is also a big fan of steve jobs and given the fact that steve jobs is older than either of them., I was like, did this other person internalize steve jobs so much that he started getting fond of practically any other person that looks similar ?
I mention this..coz , I DO THAT...when i LOVE someone...and when that person has a particular kind of face....even years after breaking up with that person...I will still continue liking anyone who has a similar face....REST ASSURED....Any person who even remotely looks like any of my ex boyfriends has a great chance of ME WARMING UP TO THEM..just coz they look like someone i once loved...
HAVING SAID THAT...some of you might actually assume that, all my boyfriends then probably look like each other...but funnily....THEY ARE ALL very very different looking...GO FIGURE...
So, yeah..that means...once i love a guy...i end up internalizing that face...or body type...THAT DOESN'T MEAN..i will date a similar guy...I end up dating guys who i strike an emotional chord with...
All i was saying is....I forever end up liking that type of face...confusing? anyways...WE JUST WENT OFF TOPIC...
Coming back to STEVE JOBS.
so, yeah..didn't know he was adopted...Even before i knew this fact, I kept judging that he has a mediterranean tinge to his face...and well...his biological dad seems to be Mediterranean(correct me if I am wrong)...figures ...no?
hmmmmmm....finally ...so yeah..this guy gets diagnosed with pancreatic cancer...and he then goes on a strict vegan diet and tries alternative medicines...and funnily for three years I went vegan..and for some reason was making myself believe that the breast nodule symptoms got better with my vegan diet..Whether it did or not is not the question here..The fact that i showed tendencies of EXTREME AUTOSUGGESTION...just like he is known to do to himself...I AM SCARED.
I don't want to die..DAMN..he died at 56.,..much after AFTER...after.....FULFILING HIS DREAMS TO A PART EXTENT...and I am yet to begin that journey..only 33 now....seriously..come on...don't want to die...
welll, the current health issue that I am facing.....is far more life altering for me.....SCARES THE SHITE OUT OF ME...and thus makes me question my whole life and my life decisions.
OFCOURSE , all this ramble doesn't mean .I AM EQUATING MYSELF TO STEVE JOBS...far from it...I am yet to prove myself....he has created history...THAT IS NOT THE POINT...
btw...steve jobs seems to be a great fan of this japanese guy who invented the walkman..surely..when the walkman guy invented the walkman...steve jobs must have sat there thinking and taking of him,,,just like I am thinking and talking of steve jobs...it is all a matter of time and generation...
In this documentary they describe this walkman guy as the STEVE JOBS OF HIS OWN TIME...hmmmmmm...Anyways...
so yeah..this documentary DEPRESSED ME A LOT...SCARED THE SHITE OUT OF ME...seriously..the reason why I got OUT OF TWITTER AND OUT OF BLOGGING is because of this HEALTH ISSUE that I currently have..THAT NEEDS A HAPPY ENDING..and the happy ending seems to be ELUSIVE SO FAR....it is only getting worse and the horror of my condition getting worse is FAR TOO MUCH FOR ME TO DEAL WITH///I am used to being this PERFECT person with no limitations...i hate it that I have so many fucking limitations in life now...I have to cut down and limit the magnanimity of MY DREAMS coz i have to plan within my limitations..and i HATE LIMITATIONS...i hate myself now...for not having taken enough care to not have ended up with POOR HEALTH...
Health was my biggest and only wealth..ALL MY LARGE PLANS FOR LIFE were based on the assumption that i would forever be young...forever hungry and forever foolish and nothing would matter coz i would have the perfect wealth of health to back up my plans...SO , WHEN MY HEALTH IS TAKEN AWAY FROM ME...and given my bohemian "No furniture at home" lifestyle..I end up being DIRT POOR IN SOUL ....WITHOUT MY HEALTH.....
I have parents in life...who are getting older and who have spent YEARS AND YEARS..actually believing in my LOFTY DREAMS and actually supporting me very generously whenever i needed help or support....seriously..I DON'T WANT TO DIE ON THEM...they are too old to be able to TOLERATE IT..In the past few months i have seen my parents literally shrink in worry for my health...makes me sad and makes me feel IRRESPONSIBLE.
so, yeah, pancreatic cancer...Randy pausch(cornell university) also died of pancreatic cancer...and that set me off thinking....as a physician...something in terms of etiology formulation for pancreatic cancer..I see a pattern...so yeah...hmmmm
overall....the documentary...kept getting RE-RUN..so many times over the past weeks(some business agenda from apple I suppose..marketing..sympathy guided product promotion..whatever)...I kept getting depressed each single time i watched it...
I am also already getting depressed with this health issue that this other person has.....in his life...that kinda conincided with my health issues..funny how i keep insisting that his life incidents and my life incidents follow a similar chronology..and now both of us with our own health issues..all lost, all worried, all thin and depressed.
.I am so DOWN UNDER with my own health issues to such an extent that I don't have the inclination to even talk to him or convince him..I need to be strong and healthy myself to be HIS STRONG PILLAR OF SUPPORT..instead, I find myself alone, dismayed..pushing people away..not seeking help for my health condition somehow still hoping that i can WILL MY HEALTH ISSUES AWAY, just like steve jobs did and then HE DIED!!!
They say that steve jobs was a very POLAR PERSONALITY when it came to how he related with others...I do that too...NOT a great trait...very self harming in some way.
Someone this other day on some TV interview was telling how they have POOR IMPULSE CONTROL...I do that too..he does too...I don't know if steve jobs had poor impulse control too..but seriously....DAMN IT..why can't i get let go off the fear and seek some help ...can I stop being the "cocky all knowing doc" and learn to be a patient and just TRUST....believe and hope..ALL POSITIVE?I don't want to die..is all...sounds dramatic, no? well, it is...so yeah....

Their own bioma-bubble people
each one has their own version of reality...our own small little world..the people immediately connected to us. whom we live with..whom we work with..whom we talk to on a regular basis...we live in that small bubble..In one way or another each of us is a BUBBLE PERSON..really..sometimes I go back read blog entries of people from way back in 2005 and suddenly realize that, while, back in 2005 , while they were busy blogging so much of their life changing events..I was quite oblivious that they even existed ...back then in 2005..i had different friends..i was reading different blogs and at that time..they were my world...even in the internet..we all surround ourselves with a few and then yet again..another bubble..small LIMITING bubble ..even in the internet world
The other day..I was reading this lady's blog...some 500 blog entries...about the last 5 years of her life...here in 2011..sitting and reading about what she wrote in 2007 and suddenly I realized that way back in 2007...while i was traveling on the boston subway..here was this lady..also traveling another train or bus in a whole other country..but yet experiencing the same sense of having set herself free like I did ..so yeah.....hmmmm...I feverishly read all of her 500 blog entries over a period of 2 days..and poof..Just like that I entered her world..assimilated her,her life and her life experiences into my psyche and then suddenly moved on....4 days later..Here I am ,suddenly fervently blogging again...hmmmmm
At some point in 2005..I stopped reading books and started reading blogs..others' blogs started feeding my HUNGER FOR INCESSANT READING..the fact that blogs were real life journals of real peole MADE IT TOO APPEALING...and inspiring and eye opening too...
NOT THAT PEOPLE tell absolute truths ON BLOGS..they PRESENT LIES TOO..but still better than a TOTAL FICTION BOOK...so yeah.enough of my life..I have to now go , tell all my vegan blog readers on my ULTIMATE VEGETARIAN BLOG as to why I am temporarily off the VEGAN BOAT.I am going to do this not as an explanation but more as EXPERIENCE SHARING.

My short term Dream list
I have extremely meticulous,extremely long term, plans.
What I have realized in the past 4 years is that Aiming for the moon straight away gets you nowhere
Better to have a SHORT TERM PLAN for the immediate future, in addition to a LONG LONG LONG TERM PLAN
So yeah, the SHORT TERM DREAM LIST is as follows
1/Try actively to seek medical help and NOT IGNORE my medical problems.Try actively and schematically and finally cure myself.Get super healthy as soon as possible
2/Not constantly fret over perfectionism but at the same time give it my all and achieve my short term career goal which has been 4 years in completion.
3/Try to balance my health problems and career goals together...I lose focus on the career each time I get sick.I cannot do that anymore
Once the above three fall in place, all others will fall in place.
Go read my archives to read my LONG LONG LONG TERM PLAN FOR LIFE..Hope I make it "hale and healthy" to fulfil all those long term goals.I think I shall and I will, If I actively try to get healthy...keep running the marathon till I reach the finish line of super good health

The past 4 years-The difference between being 28 yrs old and 32yrs old-A BIG FAT BLUR?
Oct 2007...Some hope died...Oct 2007 to August 2011
A BIT FAT BLUR
I got older by four years.
I told him, "I have faced far more serious problems than these way back in 2008, and yet I had this intense cocky courage to want to deal with all of them alone and Look at me now, I am a whimpering weakling full of fear...This is not even half as serious as what I faced in 2008"
He silently and matter-of-factly told me " Back then,I think you had something to hope for,,to count on, to look forward to...Right now, you see no hope I guess...which is why you are plagued by this intense fear"
I mused " so true, I had the power of youth on my side four years ago..now suddenly i have gotten 4 years older with nothing to show for"
I have gotten four years older..There is a big difference between 28 and 32...being 27 is even better..You are just on the verge of fulfilling your life dream...you took pains to get there and you have a whole life ahead of you...4 years down the line..You remember the lines of this 34 yr old guy whom you rejected when you were 27, telling him that 34 was "too old" for you...and then that guy warned you,," Don't judge by age..Lest you end up being 34 and just like me"
Here I am..suddenly reaching 34...very soon...and actually being like him on some level.
4 YEARS , A BIG FAT BLUR

==============================================
THE BIRDS IN CRIMSON
Every single apartment that i have lived in has been near a water source>Be it a lake or bayou or some such.Needless,I get to see birds going back home each evening..and in this picture you can see the sun starting to go towards the setting line and birds -two of them-if you look closely to the right half of the photograph
===================================================
THE SIMPLE MOONGLOW
This is a very simple, very low resolution,picture of the pitch dark inky night with just the round moon.I have taken more beautiful more detailed pictures of the night sky , but I want all of you to just appreciate the simplicity of this picture.Just enjoy it and take it all in.
=============================================================
THE SUNBURST FROM CLOUDS
Again, Every single apartment that I have lived in has been a high altitude one.That kind of high altitude allows me magnificent views of the skies.There are ever changing cloud patterns..This particular one was taken by me at the exact instant when the clouds covered up the sun and gave rise to this sunburst appearance. The trees are a dark beautiful contrast.Feast to the eyes.
===================================================================
RUBY SUNRISE
The sunrises and the Sunsets are the best ever views from my apartment.There is a varied pattern each time depending on humidity and clouds and lighting and moisture and what not..This one is called Ruby sunrise..Very surreal an yet very red and intense..strong one this pic.yeah?
===============================================================
THE DANCING NIGHT LIGHTS
Before my motor bike accidents wherein i broke my knee(kinda) I used to run everyday on a lakeshore.I would run till twilight and before i would leave each night after my run, I would stop by and take pictures of the lights reflected on the lake..Beautiful play of lights dontcha think?
===================================================================
THE SUNRISE EVERYDAY
This is the sunrise i get to watch each day..How lucky Am i ? (TOUCHWOOD)...Beautiful orange sun.I want to reach out and pluck it and eat it for breakfast
====================================================================
THE TWILIGHT TREE
I call this tree the Twilight tree.One evening , i was this view against a partially dark cloudy twilight sky.It looks lonely yet majestically strong standing there...inspiring and austere.

Leonardo Da Vinci
LEONARDO DA VINCI.
In my opinion he is a GOD..
Seriously,I adore him so much..One of my inspirations in life, besides others like MADAM CURIE, MAHATHMA GANDHI, BUDDHA and some other present day contemporaries who remind me of me
LEONARDO DA VINCI for one..was a great artist..
His paintings.. --breathtaking , beautiful , artistic ..yet very mathematically constructed, medically accurate too..
Leonardo da Vinci was also a mathematician
So many inventions are attributed to him.So many of his inventions were way ahead of his time.
His mechanical models , so accurate, so functional..( if you get Discovery channel on TV in your country, please try and watch DOING DA VINCI-these guys are trying to reconstruct some of his older designs which were luckily found in his NOTEBOOKS)
Leonardo da vinci was also an anatomy expert
When i see his drawings , I understand how much of a wealth of knowledge he was/is.
In my opinion, given how much of knowledge he had about the human body, he is also a physician
Leonardo da vinci was supposedly vegetarian.
Now I am secretly smiling to myself coz i am vegan.. These kind of humane lifechoices are made my people who take time to THINK..It takes a lot of thinking, for a human to understand that , meat is NOT a natural diet for humans.. coz we are not physically equipped to hunt like a tiger or a crocodile.
We are wimps..our fingernails suck..
If we smell freshblood,we puke..coz that is not what we are supposed to eat.
It might be so easy to pick up -already bled and cleaned up meat pieces-off supermarket shelves, but then..would you be able to eat raw meat? like bleeding raw meat? no?YEAH..i thought so!
So, to think that someone centuries ago, understood that principle that eating meat is UNNATURAL, and made a life-choice to be a vegetarian..is a great point of inspiration for me..
Leonardo da vinci was rumored to be homesexual..i have no idea how historians came to such a conclusion coz most historians speculate..They can only speculate.What they speculate could be false .....or TRUE..whatever!
I have no specific opinions on this issue..I am against sexual abuse of minors though, coz,minors don't understand the gravity fo what is going on sexually with them.If you are the older person trapping a minor to do sexual things with you,you are totally to blame..So, yeah, lay off the minors,please!
But as far as homosexuality between two consenting adults who reallly really love each other.. I have no judgements.. Casual sex between two adults even if heterosexual is highly undesirable though..coz the kind of sex you can have when you are really into another person is quite different from mindless sex you can have with a person you don't love.
Anyways,
so anyways..
Looks like Leonardo Da Vinci was a very good looking man--Great body, great muscle defintion.good muscle mass..WHOA! I am like.dude ..what else do I want in a man..he is vegetarian.. he is a smart ass and he has a greek god body..
BLUSHES.
So, looks like i have a major crush on a historical character..excellent..LOL
In my opinion he is a GOD..

Jay Leno is back on the Tonight show
Jay Leno has already hosted the Tonight show for 4 days now..after his come back
To be very absolutely clear..I never wanted him to ever go at all.
I do understand that NBC works on these decade long contracts and when such long contracts end..the network might think it too much of a risk to not try a new person..
But for me..The only Tonight show i have watched for the longest time was hosted by Jay Leno and he kept me laughing each night just before i went to sleep.He delivered each night..Just the right kind of class, the right kind of goofiness, the right kind of bloke making fun of himself..the right kind of everything..
So, Jay Leno so fit that role that I for the longest time always referred to the Tonight show as the JAY LENO SHOW..How cute is that?
To read more about why i like Jay Leno..Go snoop around my archives .There a couple or more of entries on Jay Leno.
So, when Jay Leno comes back to host the Tonight show..I was like
YES,,YES...YES...YESSSSSSSSSSSS. YESSSS..YESSSS. AND SOME YESSSSSSS.
The first day of the show was lukewarm and i was like.."Maybe the fact that everyone was persecuting him coz the channel wanted to kick Conan out and bring him back and he said yes...that probably kinda affected him or some thing..Hope he doesn't get less funnier!"
His interviewing style is classy..not pretentious ,mind you..just plain calm and classy..
So, by the second day, Leno was back to how he was prior to being replaced by Conan..
Back in action..as funny as always and i laughed and laughed and felt very very happy.
So, yeah..Leno is back.. a bunch of Olympic goldmedalists were interviewed over the past 4 days...
Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed the stories of the lady skiier talking about how her trainer husband who is a big support system to her and then the next day the snowboarder kid talks about how his mother actually left the Goldmedal at the drycleaners coz she felt the ribbon got too dirty and needed cleaning and about how he almost gave up snowboarding due to an injury till his mom pushed him back into it..great!
I woudl rather that we have more than just entertainers on these talk shows..The world primarily runs because of the various achievers in science, medicine, engineering etc etc..So, I think these other achievers in other fields, fields other than cinema or music must get their fair due time on the talk shows.i sure for one would gladly watch these shows if more smartie pants were interviewed each night.Will allow me to go to sleep with a sense of inspiration in my heart.
