Random Rambling I

Sometimes thoughts arrive at random like the rains in summer or snowfall on Mar 15th in Mussoorie, sometimes we call them rambling and some times they just make us realize how we complicate simple things.

about a year back, Avi and I were on our way to Lepakshi driving on a road that was still under construction. There were patches of fresh metal road and the other stretches were still being laid out. It meant we had to to take numerous diversions and what not. And a thought occurred "When the road is good we drive so fast that we hardly notice anything. We just keep stepping on the gas and when we hit the bad patch we still keep thinking about the good patch cribbing about the bad roads; simply ignoring the fact that we have so much time now to look around."

And on the impact of quick fixes, solution, quick adoptions and roll outs a thought emerged - "First there was a problem. Then there was a solution and then there were more problems then ever before"

Thinking to Vikasjee couple of days back and talking about our constraints to go back, break away to do something that we want to do. perhaps study fine arts in some JNU college or as he put go back in some mining area to try to bring balance back. What we realized are the so called clamps and bonds that were keeping us ties back. And a thought occured " We look at the mud on our feet and we think that we are tied back and cannot fly. What we don't realize that we are so well connected and grounded that we have become a Tree ! So simple and yet me miss it out"

And am sure this will be the longest series of the posts.
