Help!!!!

It is a very confusing conundrum, as to how much you can help people. Are you supposed to help to such an extent you fall into the same quicksand your friend is in? I have experienced that the aftermath of this can be very stressful.
Then the next question comes in almost immediately. How astute are you to grab a rope and climb out of the quicksand you have fallen in? Also do you pull yourself out to safety or try to help others out first. If you choose the first way, at what stage are you going to be called selfish by people. If it is the latter people may say a good few words about you. But how much of use is it to you? I personally think that there must be a solution to this with a price to pay. I am petrified to know what the price is.
This is what Douglas Adams has had to say about trouble.

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing
that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

The irony of this is that I changed my signature in my email to the above quote as a joke, but it doesnt seem funny anymore.

Current Song : Knocking on heavens door. :).. talk about irony again.

Let it snow!!

The weather in UK this week has gone bezerk, haywire. I have been here almost 3 years now and havent seen such heavy snowfall. It actually doesnt snow much in Edinburgh or Glasgow, but it has been snowing for three days now and is not letting up. This was unexpected.
The snow makes everything look so pretty. The only downside is that it I wouldnt be able to travel this weekend with my brother who is visiting me for just 2 days.
A very interesting thing happened yesterday. My flatmate and I were racially discriminated. The surprising thing about this was that it was in an Indian Resturant. I did create a bad scene and abused them and walked out. I will get my retribution for this really soon. I need to make my peace.

10 Avatars of vishnu

I have recently learnt about the 10 avatars of vishnu. I was astounded by the fact that it was totally analogus of how the human came to live on land and his evolution.
Hinduism has explained almost everything, But the symbolism has been lost somewhere along the way. I find this concept intriguing.

Coolest ppl

I really think black ppl are the coolest ppl on earth. They have this casual flair and panache in dealing with things, mingling with ppl and anything they do. The best example would be Bob marley, u could hardly ever see him without a reefer, but it made a statement to every one around him. The songs he made have this weird jamican pronounciation, makes it sound even cooler.
Also I have seen them dance in Clubs, they cant dance for nuts , but they look cool trying to dance, everyone on the dance floor takes a second look.
Well there is this guy at work too, pretty amazing guy, considering the fact that he keeps solving complex calculus.
Well I cant really explain why they are like the way they are, but I guess, ppl who have had association with them will surely agree with me.
