The one in which you realize that you are a bore

All of a sudden, I had a realization...

Oh yeah some of my realizations used to be quite funny ... My erstwhile team mates got to laugh at quite a number of my realizations (I have no clue whether I should use an 's' or an 'z' for the word or whether it is a British English- American English thing, so I am going to stick to 'z' for the time being. In case any one read this and realize that the spelling is wrong, feel free to comment).

This time, I realize that I am a bore. Not only that I bore other people, I bore myself quite a lot.. duh..

For example, let us say I have two options, to watch a new movie, or to watch a movie which I like a lot again... I almost always use some kind of convoluted logic to convince myself to watch the one I have already watched!!!!

The same goes for books as well....

The logic is pretty simple. Since you know that the movie is good and you already like it, there is no risk. However watching a movie involves a lot of risk. If the movie is crap, which is highly likely given that the ratio of good movies to crap movies is very small, you will feel guilty. You would start thinking about all those Organizational Behaviour theories that you could have learned in the two hours that you wasted...

How ever, one of the major lessons that MBA teaches you (with graphs and power point slides), is that with out risk there could be no return... So alas... I decide to change... Yaaaayyy

The realization came when I was going through the top 250 movies in IMDB . I realize (again), that for some one who spends a lot of time watching movies, I have seen an awfully less number of them..

Now as a typical budding manager, I have set milestones for myself to overcome my natural risk aversion. First step is to complete watching all the movies that comes under top 20 along with the associated movies before Dec 31 2010.

So the list is ready... .. pulp fiction has downloaded 42% as we speak, and I am all set to go.

Hopefully the trimester exams scheduled to start on 18th wont slow me down.

Also I am counting on the vacation from 24th to 31st

I think that is enough for now...
