Of me the way i am the things I do ..

I am the self appointed KING of Planet Plan. got a task at hand? no problem! let's begin with some planning! first. plan wot it is you need to acheive. then plan a 5 point plan to getting there. then a plan for the right way to do things. then a plan for wot you're gonna wear on d-day. i'd plan the hair, shoes and the rest of the paraphernalia as well.
and wot do you do when it's time to put the plan in action? you get goosebumps or get lazy or lose interest after all the long hours of planning and decide it was a waste of time anyway! but the whole planning bit was fun, eh? and you'd do it again anyday!
i've been doing a lot of thinking (you have to be a thinker to be a planner) and realised (or rather realised again) that i plan a lot but do little.
here's an itemized list of all that i've planned for (and i have pages upon pages of notes to prove this) but never got around to doing any of it:
* road trip from kashmir to kanyakumari in a SCorPio - rented / borrowed / stolen)
* jet skiing
* attending the jazz fest
* reading schindler's list (i've tried 5 times!)
* reading catcher in the rye (haven't even tried reading past page 1)
* teaching myself macromedia flash
* drinking 10 glasses of water everyday! (i'll start tomorrow)
* a very long long vacation to GOA with my friends
* visit rajasthan
* throwing out old junk (it's not junk to me, but since i have no place other than under my bed left to shove the stuff, ive been categorically asked to "throw that pile of rubbish out!")
* fill up my photo album with all the old pics i stole from my grandad (this was due feb 2005 for my parents 25th wedding anniversary on 7th Aug!!)

so you see, wot tends to happen is, you plan and plan and plan some more until you've passed the deadline and then all the planning in the world can't help you. the task that you wanted to complete is still not done; but now, it's become so huge, so monumental, so burdensome that you've developed a mental tumor towards it and you know... you just know that it's never going to get done!
the solution? rise like a phoenix out of the guilt of things left undone and with renewed zeal tackle the new ones in your way!
how to start you ask? by planning of course!
