I come here occasionally, and mutter to myself ‘I have to write one.’ Make a mental note and then... move on to other mundane things in life that allows me the luxury of calling myself very busy and stressed. Today, right in the middle of work (Dont tell that to my boss :) ) I decided to make a change and write something. So here we go ...
Really? Am I that busy? A bit more of self introspection may lead to the dreary path of negative pessimism pushing me to that eerie dark space of depression on how insignificant the self is in the larger scheme of life and this existence. So let me not scratch beyond the surface or let me push it to another day when I am not that busy :)
Of late the path of introspection, egged on by some enthusiastic prodding by an ever inspiring set of friends who do not hesitate from speaking the truth and pointing to the right direction, has been leading to some very interesting thoughts on how passive the self has become. Even there is fire raging in some of the thoughts and in the emotions to the happening's that tickles my concern, but the eventual actions appear to be nonchalant in sharp dichotomy to the earlier expressions. What is tempering the action while the verbal and emotional outpouring advocates something different and more radical? I have no definite answers today and may never arrive on one tomorrow or even if I do, may not have the courage to share it. But rest assured the journey is on and if any out there can help I will be indebted :)
In short "Kuch Karo !!!!"
Yesterday I got to watch in some bits and portions a documentary called “Food, Inc”. Here is a link to a pre-view http://www.veoh.com/watch/v20368182MnDqr98W?h1=Food+Inc+HD+720p . There are full versions as well in some sites but I cannot advocate those as you may want to view them at your own risk ;). In today’s free world, you never know what comes through that digital conduit when we click that download or watch button. When I saw it, though the documentary suggests it is about food that we eat and how it is produced, what struck me was the phenomenal commonality in anything that we do today. In short this is our every day life as a consumer. Anything we buy or accept has a consequence. It is no longer someone else the cause of the problem. It is me alone. Now that is a thought and still muddling over the follow up action ;)
This is a reborn blog. Will it see another day? Hope so, Hope so, at least for my sake and maybe it will lead to some "action".
