Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs. I cant think of a more apt title for I am going through right now. I had just started reading iCon - Steve Jobs's biography- at the Bangalore airport whilst leaving for Delhi last week when I also chanced upon 'Triumph of the nerds', a documentary featuring super successful nerds like Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Setve Wozniak, and of course Steve Jobs. What has kept me enchanted about this guy is not just the success he has achieved, but also how he has achieved it.

I find so many parallels betweem him and what I feel and have known myself to be, that it is a revelation of a different kind. Besides other interests he has Zen, I have Reiki. It is trivia like this that has me spell bound.

Over the last few days (and not because of this book) I have also been practising Reiki and I feel that I am on brink of something. Something really significant,is about to happen. Unfortunately, I am unable to put a finger to what it is, where will it happen, how will it happen and to who it will happen. I just feel that something round the corner will change things for me upside down and I will hopefully get a chance to re-live the life of a nerd (not the quintessential booky nerd but my own definition, which is a nerd-cum-philosopher-cum-preacher-cum-healer-cum-visionary-dunno one one that puts it all together)- a life that I have long forgotten for safer and more lucrative options. Lets see how life pans out!
