The meaning of Life ?
“What's the meaning of life?
-I asked the sky one sunny day
The sky smiled back to me
And the wind started whisper my way
The meaning of life?
You see...
there's no end to the possibilities...”

Life Is Elsewhere Book Review “The title of the novel is a quotation from the French poet Arthur Rimbaud, which was also used by André Breton in the last paragraph of his surrealistic manifesto in 1924. The expression also became a slogan used by the protesting stidents in Paris May 1968.”

The Completely Fair Scheduler “Life is a game, and if you aren't in it to win, what the heck are you still doing here?”
If you're not blogging, you're wasting your life “You should be sharing the things you learned so other people will learn from it and maybe teach you something new.”
What the Amish are Teaching America “Each of us is more than the worst thing we have ever done in life.”
“Being in this village has been an experience I will *never* forget, it's changing my life. It's good. I feel it in my heart. I have to follow this new path unfolding before my eyes. It's my destination. It's real life. I love it, I need it.”
The Game Within the Game “People were complaining that a game was ruining the quality of virtual life inside a game.”
The Best and the Interesting “My hope is, at some point in my life, I will hit such a stride, some skillset I have where the best of me just happens as a matter of course. I'm good at some stuff, bad at others, but I would love to hit some point, in a few years, where I throw out perfection as calmly as a child tosses a ball. It's something to strive for.”

Jason wants to do blogging full time! Here is what he has to say about this whole “blogging thing”,Looking back on it all, this little hobby of mine has been the most rewarding, pleasurable, maddening, challenging thing in my life. I've met so many nice, good people, formed valued relationships with some of them, traveled to distant lands (and New Jersey), procured jobs & other business opportunities, discovered new interests, music, movies & books, and lots of other stuff, all for putting a little bit of me out there for people to see.
Death
“Who knows
when or
where
it will strike.
I am afraid
of Life.
Death is okay;
it will strike
only once.”

Life is Elsewhere
Dreamless nights, Hopeless days, Wasted hours.Broken thoughts, Silent eyes, Empty mind.
When all you do is work, Life takes a backseat.
Moving on
“For the past seven and a half years, I%u2019ve been steering my train through life%u2019s ups and downs. Never an easy ride ride, and the tracks lead to everywhere%u2014from cool Sunday afternoons, to dark and cold sleepless nights. Everything that came my way, I knew I could take it all. Whatever the challenge, I felt I had the most important tool for the job. I had one passenger beside me, and she was all I needed. She gave me love and strength, and the power to overcome all trials that rain on me. To put it simply, she was my life.”

Idle Talk
Got a bunch of great snaps of kerala from a website. A weekend cable blackout meant I had enough time on my hands to whip up some new designs to go with them. Nothing complex. Just some photos and colors to go with them.Sreekanth has been sending horror stories via email about life at IIMA. Put together a bunch of smart people and you are bound to get a challenging competitive environment. But I didn't expect it to be this extreme :)
Bought a bunch of ghazals from landmark a week back. The Jagjit Singh ( live in singapore ) CD is heavenly. One of the good things about buying a live recording is the variations the singers bring in while rendering their hit songs live. Hariharan & Jagjit Singh are two singers especially adept at this.

To end with, lines from a song I am currently listening to,
tum itanaa jo muskuraa rahe ho
kyaa Gam hai jisako chhupaa rahe ho
aa.Nkho.n me.n namii ha.Nsii labo.n par
kyaa haal hai kyaa dikhaa rahe ho.

“Has an argument ever been won?”
Sathish chimes in.
That would have been the perfect comment on the recent communism discussion in tamizhan.com.
Self Control is easier said than done. A detached attitude to life might help, I suppose.
Note to self : Don't get passionate about anything. Stay disconnected.
Mea Culpa
“The two young ladies came from well to do upper income stock and were raised in a modern, integrating India. Vandana's father had served in the armed forces and she was raised all over the country. Vaishnavi's father worked for a transnational company and she was raised in Kolkatta. The first is a Malayali and the second, a Tamil. How often in the world at large do you get such diverse streams coming together to demonstrate such radical humanism? Isn't there enough evidence at hand to conclude this?: between this rising sensitive young generation and a responsive society all our ills have the prospect of becoming manageable in a finite time scale.”

Off late, I have been focussing on what is wrong with our country and kerala in particular. Too much of negativity, perhaps.
Frankly, I can't think of a better place or better people to live with.
Easy to point out the faults. Difficult to appreciate the good. Even more difficult is to work for change and make everyone's life a little bit better.
There are a few who actually do that. The above excerpted is one such story. The site itself is like a breath of fresh air. Never fails to fill me with hope of a better tomorrow.
I should be talking less about the bad and more about the good. Better would be to stop talking and go out and do some good.
