Usual day ... went to office , came home and saw that my brother and his friend has constructed an external water filter for our aquarium . Felt nice to see them making something , reminded me of my own creative sprees and evoked a lot of memories . I joined in the construction and testing of the filter as well .
This reminded me that I have to continue working on making a zoom lens for my digital camera .
I started working on it while I was in college 2nd year , that time the aim was to build a telescope but then I did not complete it .
This is a problem with me . I a fickle minded person , my interests shift from subject to subject , or maybe I am not , because you are bound to lose interest in doing something if you do not get motivation , inspiration and encouragement , something which I did not have the good fortune to get .
Another problem that has also aggravated a little in recent times is questioning myself : 'What is the use ?' before doing anything , I have long since had the realization that death is there in the end and that this earthly life full circle i.e. absolute zero , I mean , I was not there before I was born , I take birth , mature , die , and I am not there again . Sounding pessimistic .... ? people might think so , but I wonder , what are we ? my quest has shifted to answers for questions that still lie in the unanswered domains of science and spirituality . Because , just think , that the very fact that I write this blog is because we are able to think , because we have a mind , all this that is around us is because we are able to perceive it . Deprive a human being of its senses and the result becomes similar to a piece of rock , that is just there without any apparent reason .
Rene Descartes said .... "I think therefore I am" ... I could not agree more .
