I crave for mental exaltation
My mind rebels at stagnation.
Give me problems, give me work,
give me the most abstruse cryptogram,
or the most intricate analysis,
and I am in my own proper atmosphere.
But I abhor the dull routine of existence.
I crave for mental exaltation.
~ Arthur Conan Doyle

"Take care to get what you like or you 'll be forced to like what you get." - George Bernard Shaw
on the techie side, get hold of the book on design patterns and try to figure out few of the patterns. They should be very intersting and difficult to understand.
on personal side, make someones day, make him/her feel special ...
on the fun side, try reading about new sports, learn the details
-vinay
as vinay said - make someone's day. like i can make your day...by giving you more work than what you can handle ;-)
learning a new sport is not a bad idea..how abt foosball? or darts? at least tu itni buri tarah se nahi pitegi
ppl are trying to run from work, and here you are begging for more!! :-P
