Anais Nin

Someone gifted me a volume of my fav Anais Nin's Diary as a farewell gift..I'm moved by the gesture :) I can never tire of reading Anais Nin..

“You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken.”

Anais Nin.

Countdown

The countdown begins. 18 more days of Pune. Am I happy ? Sad ? I have no idea. All I know is that life is not over. The curtains are drawn. But it's for the preparation of the next stage.

Rain

I love rain.I love the smell of wet sand..and most of all I love mornings after a rain..It just sort of fills me..until I overflow :)

The Wow Factor

Life is so regimented, so organized and yet so mechanical. I know what I want - the WOW factor. The problem is, it doesn't exist.

Re-entry

It feels like a years since blogger has been a part of my everyday life. No, I've not out-grown it and neither have I been blogging elsewhere. It's just that there has been nothing to say :)

I am experiencing a new awakening of the desire to say things, relevant or not and this is the place where I feel most comfortable about saying. So, do I have anything to say today? Maybe, maybe not!

Let's hope tomorrow brings something worthwhile to say.
