Drifting

Have you ever been in a car, all thoughtful... and then suddenly you find yourself veering away to the other lane... and someone honking madly ... aiming for your throat.

That is what happened to me in life generally.. I started slowly and then I flourished and slowly it began to make unsustainable demands on my time and I curtailed them one by one... thinking I was making a sane decision. And then One day i found I had left everything behind...

Now its no more me... its tiem to reinvent...

Chalo koi naa...

Aapne agar Jodhaa Akbar dekhii ho ... kaise dekhenge.. abhi release nahin huee...
Kal raat humne premiere dekhaa Jodhaa Akbar ka. One of my clients gave me couple of tickets to that movie. A four hour non-stop nothing movie. I mean, it had no issues. Things weren't really bad.

Don't you people reading this get mad at me for finding the movie good. The last movie I liked was "Jab We Met". I went in with zero expectations. Especially as I had seen one Kareena Kapoor Movie and that was Yaadein. So imagine me... loving the repeated formuls.

It is your typical teen-age fantasy - a handsome, intelligent, gentlemanly, wise, but serious guy from an influential background, gets charmed by the witty, talkative, careless, lively girl from a modest background and finds a new way to live his successful life. A sweet story is what it is called. Yeah - nothing ground-breaking about the story, but when done beautifully, it can not fail to charm you.

Wow.. what a story.. its more about putting it together...

So that the sum of parts is greater than the whole. Something reminds me that life is like this too....

Can life teach?

It actually began, quite reluctantly. Unnecessary as it may seem, life teaches you what you allow it to teach. Even Life cannot teach you what it offers you. One has to let himself dissolve into the experience and let it sink in, and that I might call religion or education. Whatever the other person is willing to accept. Nay. Does it matter? Nay. Life is about teaching oneself. Being a self-thought-taught "person", picking up bits and pieces from various experiences, I tread on a path; I have myself laid out for myself. Never have I asked, in other words, begged for words, from "messiahs". Never did I think myself of having enough virtue, call it patience, to learn from others. So "rich" were my experiences. Things change, dynamically. Responding to an open question, throwing caution to the winds, I immersed myself into a debate, with people who thought, had streamlined their thinking apparatus and abilities. Gradually, they pestered; read "lee...

Can you hear me?

When the last tree has fallen, When the last drops of water are polluted, When the last bird ceases to sing, Will “they” realize that money cannot be eaten. Reading these somewhat crazy lines, I was joyous, at being finally able to have convinced myself, that this human race has faintest of hopes of living out the new century. I had been troubled for a pretty long time at, what seems to me, a race to extinction. I am an educated, liberal and informed individual. Having been educated at the best of the institutions, I developed a deep admiration for Mother Nature and her so “wily” ways. Listening to my Guru and his talks on “biomimetic” methods, I sensed a deep concern in him. Of late, all he talked of was “Green” Chemistry. I connect to people, people my age and people “not” my age, irrespective of who and what they are, thanks to my rootless upbringing. I used to be appalled at how short sighted “genuinely” gifted men can be. Talks of Dollar salaries, Ivy League scholarsh...

The void...

I feel empty. I feel raw. I feel rotten. I feel like not feeling. I have nothing to show, if someone to ask me about what I have achieved in my stay on this planet. Nothing. what is a few flirtations with literature, knowledge, pain and sweat. No blood. No tears. No medallions. No gallantry. Ah! I am disgusted with myself for being so ordinary. I deserve the void for I do not work half as hard as I could. I am wasting my life.
