Interesting

Met these people over the last 10 odd days and realised man these people know how to live a life; so wanted to pen it down so that I can re-look whenever I run out of ideas of what to do in life.
1. He runs his own Hedge Fund; is single and lives in Japan. doesnt own a mobile phone. Every yr for 1 month he is out dirt racing; has ridden across South America, Africa and is now planning to do Europe on his bike.
2. He was in the finance field for 12 yrs; suddenly gave it up and joined Green Planet; stayed with the tribes of Amazonia for a yr and is now an acclaimed documentarian.
3. A colleague of mine, he HAS to take a break once in 3 months; an acclaimed diver; he has seen sharks and has been over 100 meters underwater when a pack of sea lions followed him and he boasts one kissed him as well
4. This guy knows the world inside out; he told me and a friend the EXACT route to Tibet and how to get to Mt Everest after that. He can speak French, German, English, Japanese and Chinese. Besides Antarctica he has been everywhere in the world.

I am getting sleepy now; wil write abt the rest later and keep adding to it.

But these guys live their lives man!

Yeah... The western culture is such that people can take a break and "find themselves"! :) Its not looked down upon if you don't have a regular job.. but not in India! So thats def true about the cultural difference..
