Mindblog

Why the sudden fascination for blogging you ask? I have a resolution to keep, so there! I will try my best not to justify the title as I most often end up doing. The question which comes to mind is that why people tend to move along the path which is defined, why not go through a path or a patch of sand to reach where you have to? That was a wee bit philosophical. Lets say, a career path. People would want to carry on the path of employment with a well paying company, the path more tarred, as compared to take the sandy path, the road less tarred, or self employment. I have been over the past year been contemplating about this issue, and have serious intention in regard to the same. From nearly opening up a sheesha parlour in Scotland, to scrapping through plans of importing Guinness from Ireland to India, I've been giving it some thought. Also realised, that Maharashtrian people aren't enterprising to the extent Marwaris or Punjabi's are, more hard working no doubt...

Have you ever thought about what scares you? Not the spooks scare, but the really scary scare, the type which makes you rethink what you are doing in life, make changes to offset the fear. Off late, I have got a few of those scary thoughts, which have made me change a few things, re-examine a few aspects of my life and re-arrange a few loose ends here and there. The first shocker came not long ago in the form of a health concern. It completely blew me catching me off guard. Its funny how all your worries and stress vanish away when the health of a person is in context. The nearest thought in the mind screams, dictating that you just stay alive, the rest we'll take care of! By god's grace and everyone's good wishes, we're back to fit and fighting stance this moment, aware of the fact that if this issue was hidden for a while, could have been drastic! The second incident which sparked me off is that of my future. I cannot get myself to explain in words what I am feeling, ...

A veteran blogger with not many posts to show! Rot! I see a big post coming soon. Watch this space!!

Through some mathematical calculations I have developed through a degree in engineering(uh-hmm), the amount of time I've spent in my 25 years so far is as: 24%-Nagpur 32%-Delhi 20%-Colombo 12%-Mumbai 12%-Glasgow I still don't consider myself a Delhi-ite, displaying most opposite characteristics, although statistics dictate otherwise! Lets see if we can skew the percentage a bit in the next 10 years! Please oblige!

2012! A new year, a new start! Dear Blog of mine, a resolution has been made for thee.. Lets see how true I hold to the promise made to you on the eve of the new year. A dismal show of just two posts last year, lets see if we can produce some award winning scripts this year to compensate! The best people! Be safe!

Just thought I'd kick off the new year with a poem which really appeals to me and reminds me of the harsh realities of life. Frost, very simply puts it in words, which rise up and punch me in the face every time I read these lines! Hope you get something meaningful from this! Out through the fields and the woods And over the walls I have wended; I have climbed the hills of view And looked at the world and descended; I have come by the highway home, And lo, it is ended. The leaves are all dead on the ground, Save those that the oak is keeping To ravel them one by one And let them go scraping and creeping Out over the crusted snow, When others are sleeping. And the dead leaves lie huddled and still, No longer blown hither and thither; The last lone aster is gone; The flowers of the witch-hazel wither; The heart is still aching to seek, But the feet question 'Whither?' Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things, To yield with a ...
