Eurozone is in trouble; Sachin hits 100th 100 but the match is lost; AIADMK registers a thumping by-election win amidst the entire state reeling under darkness due to power cuts; Saina defends her swiss title but Indian cricket team is out of ASIA Cup; Tamil cinema stares at another big budget flop and Meanwhile few more MLAs caught watching forbidden stuff.
When I think of my countryIndia now, these news came to my mind .Though no connections among these events except they belong to same time capsule. . It probably reflects my state of mind as well. While I am happy with some events in the past one year or so, I also had my share of disappointments and defeats. But my mind is so cluttered that I am so scared to introspect. I am not sure whether I am happier than last year or the year before. Why all these are so complicated!.. . Randomness in my life is so stricking
Happiness , Joy are the words to be seen only on greeting cards now a days. Shame!!These words looks alien even when I wrote that previous line. I was so tempted to delete the line for a moment because I felt as it might inject some kind of fakeness in what I intend share with you. As I grow older, I am really moving away from all the fun stuff.
If you asked me what I liked when I was in my 20s , my list would have run into pages. They were many which are close to my heart. The music, paintings, friends , movies - I found fun in places where it’s abundant. But now a days, I seek to have fun in ‘acquiring’. Even the simple pleasure of reading a good book is getting complicated by the desire to buy the kindle or nook. Scarcity seems to be defining the degree of ‘Fun’.
Just got me thinking of why not get back to the simple pleasures of life… and a big ‘WHY NOT’…
And Simplifying could be the start!!! But where to start ? Gonna google first and tell you next…. See ya till then!!!
