Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. Monday, March 09, 2009.

Travels and Travails: Her Story
http://looking-closer.blogspot.com/2009/03/her-story.html
Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. Tuesday, March 17, 2009. A different narrative - part of the Retirement Plan). I married very late. Growing up, I was fairly shy with girls and somehow nobody really took my fancy for longer than a while. I didn't really know what I was looking for, and after a while I gave up trying. She wanted to live with me. As the clock ticked and she clung on to me, I came to realise what she couldn't do, and what I had to do to her. Did I flinch? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. Monday, June 02, 2008. A list of things. Why do I mention this? Which brings me to some other thoughts/snatches/ideas from other sources which have had a impact on me, on hearing or reading which I am moved even today (even though it might have been years since I originally encountered them):. 1 The Shawshank's Redemption's "Hope is a good thing" bit. 2 American Beauty's "I saw my life flashing in front of me" sequence.

Travels and Travails: Weekend
http://looking-closer.blogspot.com/2009/03/weekend.html
Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. Sunday, March 22, 2009. It's 7:30 and the weather is cool and balmy and with that smell that says darkness is nigh. Unfortunately, I am stuck in my office, working on some deliverables for the next day. I remember the nights spent at home - I think I spent most of them in the company of a book. I would start at 9:30 and go on till 11. I look at that image - me, curled up in my rajai and reading and smile. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dust in the Wind.

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. Tuesday, February 05, 2008. Why am I here? Where am I going? Where did we all come from, ab initio? Sometimes, I think it is better to be dead than be this way. Friday, February 01, 2008. Life in a Metro. Due to some personal work, I have had a chance to take the metro almost every second day. A couple of observations:. Too forbidding to make people comfortable talking. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Life in a Metro. Dust in the Wind. The Cat That Fished.

http://looking-closer.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. One of my favorite books is "The Outsider" by Albert Camus. For me, the most striking part about the book was how self-assured the protagonist was about his limitations - his inability to worry about his mother's death, the nonchalance with which he kills the man at the beach due to his natural instincts, how he calmly accepts the sentence meted out to him et al. However, things are changing. This doesn't mean that my plans for world dominati...

Travels and Travails: New stuff
http://looking-closer.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-stuff.html
Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. Friday, March 05, 2010. 1 I am losing the ability to imbibe and understand new stuff, whether it be a book on a new topic, or slides from a different case. Just can't follow stuff. 2 I get very antsy when my mind is not involved. The 2 minutes that it takes for me to get out of the car and reach my hotel room is the worst part of my day. 4 I have recently discovered that I have terrible comforting skills. Am on lookout for a crash course. Comforting people is easy.

Travels and Travails: November 2008
http://looking-closer.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. Sunday, November 23, 2008. If The Doors of Perception Were Cleansed. A pack of six was pretty expensive, equivalent of Rs. 900. There were three of us, and we had two each. After 5 minutes, we came back to the shop - and I, in my oh-so-polite voice asked,. By when should we start expecting an effect - nothing is really happening right now". Oh, I takes 35-40 minutes for anything to happen". Guys, it is happening". I think it was on for half and hour, before we had to mo...

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost. Thursday, January 10, 2008. As time goes by. My new year resolution is. That I will not procrastinate. Tuesday, January 08, 2008. The Kindness of Strangers. Among my friends - but many more times, it has been the help of strangers, people I haven't met twice who have gotten me out of a mess. But they are people I am much indebted to. To sleep on until my roommate returned. Obviously, when I narrated this to my room-mate, he took it as a one-off, but I have grown to beli...
