trishanku, an ancient character from hindu mythology who was hung in between heaven and earth.
While waiting for my (extremely) delayed Indian airlines flight, I can now relate to Tom hanks better. For a budding blog junkie like me, this type of situation is a heaven. Now all I need to do for the next 5-6 hours is, surf, chat and blog. 
sometime we get stuck in life in pretty much the same way. The options that are left to you inhand at that time leaves very little choice. Isnt it? WRONG! life always gives you lots of choices. But most of these choices are discarded by our mind because of our fear of losing what we already have.
eg. due this delay, I missed my office. I lost one working day when I was badly needed at the workplace. The amount of money lost to me (my day’s sal), to my company (hourly payment for today) and to the client because his product deadline got delayed since its senior developer was blogging at the airport (while watching pretty ladies dressed in uniforms of there respective airlines). No I could have taken a costlier airlines to be at my workplace in time. But in this case I feared of losing some extra money. But if the risk was taken, I could have tried to convince my mamagers and superiors to help me bear that extra amount. could be or could be not! but I didnt go that way and my fear stopped me. Was this fear? or just a practical approach? cant be too sure aint u? same here! Some thing we try to negotiate with ourselves by marking these type of actions/decisions as practical becoz they are easy to take and most importantly they have predicted results. Bad or good, we all prefer situations which we have experienced before over surprise!
But dont forget that the biggest discoveries (and inventions) in the world came as a surprise and not as a predicted output of that experiment. So the bottom line is……dont be afraid to try out new things in life….coz
In the end, you will not regret what you didnt get, but what you didnt tried!
