filosofical blabber

Had gone home after a long time...Infact the anticipation of going home is better than actually making the trip.....Its just like a kid will be all hullabaloo for a chocolate but the excitement dies once it’s in grabs... The 900 km stretch from Mysore till Trivandrum is nowhere like traveling through the Alps....But it doesn’t make the journey any boring either. Moreover when you are traveling alone you happen to take notice of little trivial things happening around you...Those peanut selling kids or buses of various hues and linguistic patterns that scatter for space in an outdated bus stand.....

With Atif Ali’s...Woh Lamhe to ease spirits and a copy of the Outlook I made myself comfortable in the bus...And then began scanning through the pages, but never found anything interesting in the magazine as all it discussed was how Rahul and some big town kids snorted coke...Putting away the magazine I snuggled in my seat with an aimless mind and fifteen hours of curtailed eternity... The soothing music and light breeze was sensuous and I was in a euphoric frame of mind for no reason...

Strange that I shift into introspective gear everytime am alone. But hardly have I got any other time to do a self appraisal of my thought process...What the future beholds for me..?? Questions that have no answer yet something that people cant help thinking about.
Maybe we fantasise our future in our dreams. But dreaming the future is a sea change from actually pondering what you gonna do in future. Especially since, while dreaming we inadvertently filter out any bad prospect that hinders us and paint a rosy picture for ourselves. Simply it’s an entirely different ball game when we actually analyse our destiny in real term prospects. Its unpredictability lends an air of mysticism. My brain cells go wayward unsure... uncertain... uncontrolled...

But isn’t that life is all about... just like Russian roulette... you never now the odds!!!!

100% true :) ...the excitment finishes once we reach there :D... when u reach there the next question from relatives/freinds (especialy to gulf mallus like us) is "when u going back ??" :( ..

It should be really frustrating to hear such questions..
