25 random things

25 Random facts about me (Inspired by Arjun's post on Facebook). Won't tag anyone but would like people reading this to tag themselves. I crazily check mail/FB evey now and then even (usually very few minutes) if there is no update or any likelihood of any update. Before this current "book" I had almost written a manuscript some 1-1.5 years ago, but found it useless and abandoned the project. I often randomly laugh out loud while remembering some random thing. I hate to shave. As a kid I used to read and analyze maps and know about how different places were connected (and hence interest in railways!) and used to mentally test myself on how many places do I know in a particular state and similar stuff. Even now, I get excited by trains and railway stations and highways and airports. (maybe, it is somewhat heredity as my dad had amazing information about different places and all) I have command over some thoroughly useless information about Bollywood. As a kid

(Insane) words of non-wisdom

A stroll down a lunatic asylum proves that faith means nothing;  A glance at the glamor world proves that "morality" means nothing;  A walk along the corridors of corporate world shows that "ethics" mean nothing;  Few moments in a crematory shows that "life" means nothing. So whatever we learn mean nothing;  Hence ...  Everythi ng is nothing and nothing is everything!!

The sea and the infinite

Standing at the shore I stare at the infinite. Numb of all the senses Of the wrong, and the right. I am there at the moment yet It seems like it has been forever. I feel crashing upon my senses The past present and future together. Up there near the horizon I saw a ray of fading light. It went away like that fleeting glory And disappeared as came the night. All I can see is The sea and the wave, And all I can think is I was so, so naive.

New year resolutions

Ah! It's that time of the year once again !! Wish you a very happy new year. I was just wondering about the alternatives for new year resolutions but chucking them out nevertheless ... ... but on second thoughts, some might be worth considering ... Some random thoughts - Resolution 1 - To find out what is the purpose of life, universe and everything and come up with a non "32" or "42" answer ... but isn't this what I am trying to do the whole of last decade ?? Resolution 2 - Continue keeping the 1024 * 2048 resolution (similar to RM's) ... but as things get hazier, it is likely to be broken ... Resolution 3 - Be myself ... I always promise so ... every year without fail ... and fail ... Resolution 4 - Write a book - Fiction to be precise (even if it sells 10 copies, 5 purchased by me :) WIP ... Coming soon ... (Well ... maybe, sometime in near or late future ... but definitely in this decade!) Resolution 5 - Travel ... Travel ... travel ... Explore ...

A Mirage

It was an impossible dream Like reaching for the stars in the sky I chased it like that elusive butterfly I prayed to get it I hoped to catch it some time So that it could be forever mine I was always so near Yet it was so far But I pursued it endlessly For it was just too dear It sometimes faded And disappeared in the sky And when I held it at last It was just a mirage

`Another Random Thought

"Man's mind , once stretched by a new idea , never regains its original dimensions." - Oliver Wendell Holmes Just wondering, what is the worst non-fatal, non-demeaning thing you can do to a person? Surely, one of them is allowing him/ her to explore things so that forms his opinions and ideas about things, and then exercise control (& not just give opinions) on what he should think, what he should deem as right or wrong & what he should do . Barbaric it may sound but probably allowing him to remain ignorant may be a better option . What say?
