I Ride !


I have developed this new hobby, i am cycling around the city anywhere i have to go... Carrying the full tool kit in my back-pack traveling 50-60 kms a day, being prepared to fix anything that can go wrong. Making humble and small innovative adjustments to the device to make the ride comfortable are giving me that rusty feel, and i am finding some joy in it !
This video was shot on my phone on one of my journeys to the Bangalore University. and the song is by "sons of science

Some thoughts on 'The Life of Pi'


Sometimes we are ripped off our shell of fantasy that we have woven around ourselves, the ones we love and look upto are taken away, we are thrown into the most hostile and weirdest situations possible ! you may even be stranded in the middle of the ocean sharing a life-boat with a man-eater !! who knows, what life, while high on crystal meth could get us into....
You may initially tell yourself "so, this is how it ends" but not yet, you still have a boat. realizing that you still are alive, is a reason that is enough to be more than happy and bounce back !
Suddenly the 100 percent death situation looks like a 50-50 survival chance, it is something to understand that it is your choice now. it has always been... you are now challenged ! death personified -Benagal Tiger and a survival boat, it is upto you to make something out of it. At this moment, you are very far from realizing that fear of death kept you as much alive as the life saver boat did !!

You are now, facing the situation with great courage and you will start to mould into a stronger person. This is the fire where great men are forged. You start to see solutions, as they start sailing towards you. Most of them come with a price, most of them aren't as of the tranquility you are looking for.. one needs to compromise his dignity yielding to such solutions. Desperate are those who embrace this.

It is told that the best solution comes to you, if awaited patiently and peacefully. Not quitting for the sake of material benefits. Be brave to take a few more hits from the chisel, you will shall be carved better. The problem leaves you when it is time and you are ripe enough. it wont look back !!
While all this is underwent, onlookers see something else.
One arrives to see that people believe what they want, from what 'actually happened'
But the truth is, despite being present there even you believed what you wanted !!
you are irrational, all it matters is how many decimals are you willing to get down to.
