Its all in ur Mind !!

Guys, let me tell you a story.. A story of my last weekend in Scotland.
Venkat and I, planned for an outing .. away from the buzzing cities, to discover the country side of Scotland.Its indeed marvelous. The beauty of the nature at its best.

Cutting short, we reached the Craingorm mountain the next day.Before I move ahead, let me tell you something about Craingorm mountain. This is the famous for skiing in UK. It attracts professional skiers from all over the world .. and so it did attract us :P . This was the first time skiing experience for us and we were excited . We were the among the first ones to reach the place and it was still closed and we were in the queue for the tickets,which reminded me of my college days, standing in front of the theatres to watch the movie on the first day, first show !!. We hired the skiing equipments and were all set.

Upon reaching the peak , we were there at the 6th highest peak in UK, covered with snow and it was truly beautiful. We watched the people skiing, how they made their turns and most important thing was How to STOP !!. It was a peak and we had to stop somewhere at any cost !. I couldn't count the number of times I fell during the first hour at the peak. I was here when it was snowing and believe me, its horrible to walk and now, i was skiing! After making enough number of attempts, we both were tired and decided to give up. Upon arrival to the camp, a voice of the instructor said "You can't be tired so soon !". We tried to convince her with the fact that it was our first time just like we try to convince our clients on the code we have delivered :P. My friend, Venkat was asking the lady the techniques of skiing and i kept on listening. She demonstrated everything from start to the technique to stop, which, according to me, was the most important part. After all the demonstration was over, Venkat said "How long does it usually require to learn ?". The lady replied "Almost no time !". And she said, with her finger pointing to her head "Its all here. If you wish you can, you can!".

Now, this charged me up. I did fall a couple of times after that, but guys, i did ski for the next 4 hours and this was one of the most memorable days of my life!. When i came down to the camp, i wanted to thank the lady for all the words that inspired me, but i couldn't find her. This was really an eyeopener for me and so would like to tell you "If you think you can, you can!!"

signing off for now.

cheers,
