What's in a name?

I remember attending a seminar @K, where this marketing guy from ITC had come. Someone asked him what was the most difficult things they faced when launching a new brand- and pat came his reply- coming up with a name for the brand!

I am at a similiar stage. I am about to register my company and have not been able to come up with a name that I am happy with. At times I think that if someone can name computers after a fruit and actually make a brand like Apple, well then- it won't matter what I name my company :)

But then I think that I want something different, something stylish, something which will make people sit up and notice. Shakespeare and Steve Jobs might not agree with me, but the name is definitely important...

What is the effing matter with me...! I am supposed to be smart, sensible and a mature individual (at least in my eyes!). Ya, I'm engaged. That's cool. But is that any excuse for completely forgetting everything else that matters to me and just letting my days waste away dreaming?

I can't believe that I've just let myself get so caught up, that I'm forgetting my priorities. Yes, I'm painting the town red.. I totally am! And I'm loving each and every moment of it... it's simply amazing :)

Ok, cool... but c'mon I can't just forget all the other stuff that means so much to me... and for which I have invested so much time, energy and emotions. But lately, my mind seems to have completely moved onto a different plane and I just don't feel like working... this will not do.. this will not do at all... All I need is some patience and self control and some common sense and some sanity... sigh..

What's the effing matter with me??

I read somewhere that Time is like a fistful of sand.... the more we try to hold on to it, the faster it runs out... Suddenly that's how my life seems to have become... like Time is just running out and there is soooo much to be done...

I'm sh*t scared...

I might as well say it out loud- I'm engaged! :)

A smile is hovering over my lips... there's a general feeling of well- being... it's as if God wants to give me another chance :)

Status Update

Hmmm well... had a long conversation with Am yesterday... the signs are good... very good in fact... let's just see how things go from here... hmmm... surprisingly I'm still feeling pretty blank... the words just don't flow... maybe once things settle down a bit, I'll write something more concrete... for the time being I'm satisfied with laying back and enjoying each day as it comes :)

p.s. Good to see myself smiling like this again :D :D
