On loss and new beginning

"How does it feel
How does it feel

To be on your own

With no direction home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?"

I lost it. I lost it all.
Three years of electronic ranting, tales of code, help, pride, use, abuse, love, hate, lies, videos, pdfs, - fuck, the list is endless! It surely justifies taking a sick leave ...
Andrew Grove says Only the paranoid survives. But he never says getting hyper-paranoid for survival. Well, no regrets brother - just lessons.
If you happen to have no clue which loss I'm talking about - you hardly know me. Its my google account - I forgot the password for it. The big G is the spinal cord of your online existence - once you snap from it your gmail, blog, orkut, notebook, reader, docs everything refuses you as if you are some sort of a beguiler trying to steal the free services and be the next spam superstar!

Every loss makes you wiser. Its like a tool that refreshes the the old, and paves the way for the new change. So ...

"Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
Started up a brand new day

It could happen to you - just like it happened to me
There's simply no immunity - there's no guarantee
I say love's such a force - if you find yourself in it
And sometimes no reflection is there
"

when Somnath narrated that story I couldn't believe it...who does that with a password I thought...after reading your blog seems plausible!
