Difference

I am posting this from HK - Beautiful place. People are peaceful, smiling, they look the same ;)

And of course they have their individual sorrows inside.

My point being, that my experience here shall be held for a lifetime - I was sitting at a table; a girl was eating - after she was done - she took some tissues and wiped the table clean.

That is the difference. The difference that will always portray what creates success.

I shall stand up for myself. I will do this differently. I do this - So I create a difference.

My bus met with an accident yesterday - no fighting; no quarelling; they just called the police - and our police detained our driver.

Were people in the bus panicky? No.

You see the lights - the fashion brands - their lifestyle. It is a goal for al countries. You want to be so financially independent that people beg to come - people look forward to come - people smile to work - people smile at work - people eat well. They cry of course - but you can see the calm on thier faces. It is a dream. But a developing country; is aspirational - they look forward to something.

They look forward to tomorrow.

Frustration

It feels as if they are doing us a favour;
Roads dug up : PLEASE BEAR WITH US; WE ARE DOING THIS FOR A BETTER FUTURE.
While they are at it; we have already lost out on the present which has passed us by for the last may be 10 years...
Yes, things are betterl but better is not good enough.
We deserve much more.
At the same time; we deserve much less.


Buildings with a glass facade towering over mud, littered pavements, dug up roads and slums.
We refuse to change.
So do they.
Munnabhai came and went.
The part of the table underneath is still as useful.
In fact, the part above the tabel is being used a whole lot more freely now - - SEE HOW TRANSPARENT WE ARE !!!



You want an advance tax refund.
YOU have to pay to get YOUR money back.
Will they always wield this power?
Yes.
Congress or BJP or some other blah blah;
We don't choose the best;
We choose the least worse.

Free TVs;
Farmer subsidies.
Export incentives.
Rice at Rs. 2 a kilo.

They give to people who don't deserve.
They take from people who work hard.
That is socialism!? :|
That is Ayn Rand's world
The world she hates.
The same world that I hate.
No one has the courage to stand up and fight.
Or come together for the common long term good.
Even I am a coward.

India and Indians will succeed despite the government.
We will be the next USA.
DESPITE THE GOVERNMENT

Rain

I always smile nicely with the first rains. I smile before I start complaining of the humidity, sickness, puddles, potholes, traffic. I remember the time when we left from Geetanjali's house in Kalina at around 1230am. We had to switch 2 autos; finally had to walk a short distance to my place. I cant believe how useless I was. All the time to stop and stare, and care about nothing whatsoever. May be that is why I love being my mad self.
Laughing till I almost burst :) ; waving my arms in the middle of the street.
Visualising my dreams and painting an occasional picture.
And finally writing this rubbish.

Bring it on.

There is a small gap between the curtain and the wall which allows me to see a little light from outside.
I sometimes stare at the tv for quite a while; and only later do I realise that I have absolutely no idea as to what I am staring at.
We always search for a little bit of peace in our lives, not knowing how easily we regularly attain it.
These short moments provide the perfect soil for nurturing creativity, intellect and bliss.
We smile effortlessly and we always feel that we don't smile enough .
Eyes wide shut. A deep breath. A sigh. A smile. No time to stop and stare.
Thrust your head into the wind, while in a train and hear your heart beat loud and sharp.
Fill your head with it. Meditate and smile.
