Trying to hold out

The drunken kid at the Godfather's feet:

"Things haven't quite turned out the way should have. Okay. There is little that can be done about it. Cool.

You know, the one thing I have learnt in my short life is this: if you intend to do something well -- really well -- you've got to tie your hands, tie your feet, and jump into the water. Drown a little. Let the water subsume you. Let it overwhelm you. Panic a bit. Go wrong. Bang into the wall headfirst. Bleed a bit. But through and through, know that it is all just strokes in the bigger picture. 'Coz once you're done banging your head, bleeding, drowning, panicking... boy you're serious trouble for them all. Been-there-done-that has no substitute.

I have been bleeding, panicking, drowning for quite sometime now. And am beginning to reconsider... is it really part of a bigger picture? Or is it just sadistic pleasure that I derive by inflicting pain upon myself? In case it is so, then maybe I need to sit back and peace out. Let things take their own course. But if it isn't, then I need to hold ground. And as a consequence to which I shall ask: 'How long? This is becoming painful.'"

Give him an answer, people. The kid needs answers. My Professor on Organizational Behaviour quoted a nice one-liner from the textbook: "God gave the simplest of the problems to physicists and mathematicians." :)

And yea, I took a few pics here at the IIM-L campus recently, check them out:
