Another Weird day
I had a very weird day. I was anticipating something and it did not happened. Result: my brain was swelling with evil molecules all over. I started acting like a big insecure jerk. I don't know what stupid things I will end up doing today.

Southbound!
Leaving for Texas today evening. Like everyone is planning to attend Thanksgiving with their families, I am also going to see my nearest kin in US, my BackBencher buddies in Dallas. Jamy and Rushaed will be riding with me. Expecting a lot of fun for the weekend. Happy Thanksgiving !

Free and Bad Advice
Till this point, I have asked for too many free and bad advice. Recently, I was thinking about how whole process of reaching out for free (and probably bad) advice works for me.
Turns out, it's pretty straight forward. Whenever, I am not sure about my success, I go and ask people. This is basically like a defense mechanism so that if I fail, I can implicitly blame others instead of accepting my failures. Shame on me!
This happened to me time and time again. Whenever, there was a critical moment that I had to stand up and face the challenge, I cowardly escaped the burden of decision making and let others decide it for me. No doubt, these cost me a lot.
But, the good part is, as now I understand the whole thing, I am taking a lot on myself. Even though, I am not sure about something, I am going and trying it out. Even though, I risk failure more than ever. I am learning to trust my gut feelings or at least, I do not regret of not pursuing things. It's not exactly that I am getting more confident about success but I am learning quickly from my failures!

Update
This is an update to this post. It seems even though my observations were correct, I drew the wrong conclusion.
Though, computer programmer or mathematician can be a desired date, I was actually referring to persons who are passionate about what they do. From my experience, I found most people with the mentioned background are passionate about what they do and that's what attracted me at the first place. So it was never about what they do but more about their attitude to follow their passion.
