London Part-I

I have never been to London although I have crossed it many times seeing it from the plane. I remember that I was once travelling to KL and saw BK from the plane. I had never been to BK then and the city seemed fascinating from the top. I only prayed to God to help me see the city once. I have been there a couple of time after that.

London is a different ball game all together. I will get to see the city in depth as I am staying there and travelling for almost a week. Everytime I visit different countries, my mind opens and I become more learned. (or so I think). So, I am really looking forward to open my mind and feel associated with the place which I have only seen through technology or from the air..This Blog is me trying to jot down what I am feeling right now..I will complete is once I am back from the country..

Lane Driving: Lessons

There are things which we can all learn from lane driving in Delhi. The biggest learning is that there are no lanes. People can turn left or right with the least amount of care and ignorning that he might hit your new car..Though I would not turn left or right without checking the mirrors but I might hit your new car because of sheer jealously!..

Secondly, there are situations when you are following a car at a great speed and so you expect that the speed would continue. If you want to overtake the guy, you have to linger on and then suddenly an opening opens where you can zip pass the guy who was ahead of you..(in his new car ofcourse with all the polyethene sheets still clinging on to the seats even after two months of purchase.,)...sometimes I have noticed that the way a person drives the car shows why he is driving such a car..lously people drive lously cars in the same segment..even when they have choices coz they are used to make lousy decisions.

So, If I take this above scenario and place it on an altar of philosphy..I would reach the logical conclusion that your speed lies priarily on the guy u r following..you have to choose the right leader..or be a decent follower of someone who deserves to be followed. Additionally, if you want to surpass the asshole in front of you and you dont have the space, who will have to linger on. With the traffice moving in the system, space would come. Just wait..

And yes, we are to wear speed belts..in all phases of life..protection comes first..better safe then sorry..

REPORTING SIR..

I write this Blog from Colombo..having travelled through three countries in the past one week. The birthday was in Dhaka where I gave a presentation, sharing the podium with some of the biggies. Dhaka has a long way to go. The streets in town are like the streets in Old Delhi. Maldives is beautiful but I guess that is there from a tourist perspective. Met some very interesting people. The Locals are concerned about the socitey and the others staying there told me that its a boring place. I would agree. There is not much you can expect bake in the sun. You have to go out of Male to drink. Its good in a way or the city would become a hub for drugs. It has also the potential for the hippies to turn it into another Goa..Colombo, well it has an amazing night life..Lot of live singing..I miss Tivu amongst this all..I have hit the gym a number of times..runnning 5 km in 35 minutes..I am determined to run the marathon this time..I am determined to do a lot of things..I am on it and the journey is long..

DARK AND DEEP..

I am a movie buff..The last time I heard something about someone like this was Mukesh Ambani. Atleast, I think we have something in common besides the double chin which I nursed during my drinking days..So I saw five movies over the weekend. Evertime I watch a movie, I get this sudden urge of directing one myself. The shot angle, the intensity, the music, the reality of the movie and other things..You have to capture the pulse of the audience..The big starrer movies with fancy cars and nice chiks are over..people dont like actors having fun in Spain on tomatoes..they become jealous seeing them and comparing this with their life..they like small things which are free, achievable and not something which is far, too real to be true, perfect..guess Bollywood is moving towards imperfection and I like it..do you?

WAKE AND BAKE...Ahhhh..Miss those days..when then they were so useless..guess you learn a lot on a very boring day..

AHA..LOVELY WENTING..

So here I am doing almost nothing in office. I really wish my life was like this. Come to office, stare as these faces working their ass off, show them that you really dont give a fuck to what they do and what they want you to do. People seem to be nice to you on a notice period. Its like a stealth around you which cannot be caught by their radars transmissitting negative emotions laced with politics. The majot thing which I like now is that you can choose what to do and not be worried about a 'thing' also know as a client breathing down your neck. For all I care they can suck my cock...

..Three things..Fear the Lords, Love your women and defend your country..TROY..

A new beginning..zindagi milein gee na dubaraaa...

The fear of the unknown is the worst fear as the mind can create situations. Being positive is the only way out and what has to happen will. All we can do is be there to enjoy the moment. The choice is/was and shall always be ours..

Beamer, whose who, pretty girls, wine, music, laughter, smile, hugs, chats, colour, Page 3..cant be more filmy, cant be more further from reality, if only they knew what maya is..I am sure some do..

TOLD YOU SO..

Murakami must have told you so..the line from the band Zero 7 is absolutely correct as this man has been telling me a few things about life. He is not as direct as the old man (Osho) but does have a few experiences. One thing which inspired me immensely was that he started running at the age of 33 and went up to complete a few triathlons in life. well thats something..I guess in life you have to get inspirations from as and when you can get these from..from a book to a beggar, from the Big Boss in his fancy car to the lead singer jumping and pumping..life is all about keeping it on..atleast for me its on..till the time Gods thinks I can breath..no, Murakamai didnt tell me that..

MINDVOID

There are days in your life when you question your own existance. What if I die today, was it worth the experience, the existance? Come to think of it, most of our fears never exist in reality. The mind makes us ponder so much over something non-existant that it becomes real in the unreal world. We palpitate thinking about it not because the experience in daunting but because we like to be scared and deprived.

I have realised the joy of giving. Its the same as giving up your fears, your pre-occupied mind allowing you to venture out, to move forward from the cocooned life which is drenched with insatiable desires. It looking beyond, its all about breaking on to the other side without fear or without mind.

BREATHE

I started the day with my walk, usual breating exercises followed by chanting OM along with long breaths. This makes me feel great and closer to God. My mediation tech is the best. In the evening I heard my neighbours chanting "Rengo kimre" something something, buddhist technique, I just heard them from the window, a group of people making funny voices, ridiculed them and thought only if they knew how good my technique was. Then I heard the Muslims from a nearby mosque. I soon realised that there is nothing which can be called a shortcut to reach God or to look for him inside. there are different ways and the fact that someone is trying my making noises is good enough. In the end of the day, I guess we all are right and making sounds to sound it off and I am trying and I dont care a rat ass of what you think..
