I'm not necessarily an atheist, but I have discovered the laws of independence.

The trip to B'lore

ATTENTION!!! I was studying for my GRE when I wrote this article. I wasn't trying to show off, just having some fun and playing around with words. In retrospect, I know for sure that I will not remember half the words I used here! Having received a plethora of requests commonly voicing an interest that i must start making my entries go public, i decided to give it a shot-and what better way, but to write my first entry on the B'lore trip we went to recently. I must admit that when i first heard the possibility of an IV trip to B'lore from my classmates, i thought it was just another of those quixotic notions they had launched in their minds-and were now trying to implant the same in everyone else too! It is interesting really,how the mind develops its own impermeable shield of thoughts to combat something that is unsettled for. I remember quite lucidly, how constantly my classmates fretted over college life(including myself). Eventually it dawned upon the seemingly def...

Random Musings

The following are largely unedited clippings of entries from my diary. Some reflect honest observations, while some provide a sense of philosophical amusement. Some others still, render a rather childish view of the world. But buried within these various lines is an earnest attempt at understanding life, man, and me. Undated: Every relationship in this world can be reduced to that of a mother and child-every expression of love can be escalated to the same effect. Undated: I have a certain respect for non-believers-for one, they have tasted the ecstasy of independence-for another, they are self-sustained. Undated: I know what Nirvana must feel like - I tell you, just surround yourself with children. Undated: A samurai can only be passionate about being passionately in love. Undated: The balance factor-the zen way, in every moment. Undated: The question is not, "Will it happen?" The question is, "what will happen, if it does not?" What of me t...
