This is the question that probably goes through everybodys mind at some point in time. It has cropped up to me albeit lately and honestly I don't know the answer to this.
We go through life from the moment we are born right up to where we are right now filled with mysteries, fun, laughter, tears, misery, love, despair, sadness, joy, anxiety....the list goes on. At some point of time we feel like giving up saying that its too hard to continue and sometimes we have moments where we enjoy without thinking about any consequences. Is that the meaning of life?
My dad used to say that there are 3 phases in a mans life i.e. childhood, bachelor days and married life. Simply said its true as such that its categorized in such a way. I guess time catches up and before you know it you could have passed any one of the stages and be moving on to the next.
The question is are we prepared? I suppose we could only answer it through our actions. Remember actions speaks louder than words.
Maybe the answer to what is life is LIFE itself.......hmmmm

Easter as it may be
Alas, It's the Holy Week again,
I will be away from my family members back home for the first time during Easter and would be spending it with a couple of friends in Kalbari. It's something different and for me, a definite good break away from work, which had been thrown at me like there's no tommorrow.
A time to reflect I'd say and hope for peace and justice to prevail anywhere in the world. I hope I do get lots of Easter eggs this time around !

The Rantings of a Chemical Engineer
So happen that the oil prices have past the US110 mark or so over the past few days, so what's in it for peeps like us in the business of producing it. Simply said more work but most people would raise their eyebrow when you say that you are working in the oil and gas industry. Cash cow ? Nah, no even close.
Well, from the looks of it we are no different from the people in other industries, the higher the oil prices get the more work we get and it doesn't get any better than that. In fact I would foresee the world using gas as as an alternative energy before it dwindles in a couple of years and bio stuff (biodiesel etc) becomes popular. But when that happens, it will not be the end for us in the Oil and Gas industry as we are Chemical Engineers and as such we could easily adapt to a change of the product per se.
In other words, we would never run out of a job...
