Dichotomies in life.

As I get older(if not wiser), my perspective of viewing life changes and it become increasingly clear to me that our lives are mere vapours and it solely depends on the purview of perception at that point of time.

So, the point here is how to take a step back and take a look at a situation in its entirety. I believe this would be absolutely essential to make sound and sane judgments. This point is also the underlying principle for many managers ( aka MBA's) in their decision making process. Given a problem, and a limited set of resources, take a path which seems more apt at that point of time. Even if it means, the same guy can criticize his own decisions later on. The advantage of hindsight :-)

Now coming back to the dichotomy thing.

The dichotomy that seems amusing to me is that I look at a photo in which I was a 16 year old boy and think that I looked cute when in fact I thought that I was looking like a pig back then.
Today,after putting on a lot of weight, I look at myself in the mirror and think "Hey! I am not looking bad!".

That's the dichotomy of my life right now.

Cheers,
Nagi
