Today is and will always remain one of the best days of my life .... and also one of the very few most surprising . Shefali came over from Mumbai and paid a surprise visit . I was so surprised that all expressions on my face went blank and for sometime I was not able to believe my eyes or think or speak clearly . I am happy .... I am so so happy .

Had less work today .. nothing new worth mentioning .

Well ... yesterday had office. ... went to dumdum from there .. had biriyani and chicken for dinner and then watched movie IJ Kingdom of Crystal Skull and chatted ... went to sleep at 5:30 in the morn .. today morning
returned from there around 3:00 pm . Rest of the day was spent making cover art for Srishti . 

-

A day full of activity but now worth mentioning ..!! I am getting obsessed with the ways of speaking and dialogues of Pirates of Carribean series .

Again .. another day in which nothing happened .... only good thing is the Srishti revival seems to be going good .

A most ordinary day passed ... absolutely nothing to say . Planning to start up Srishti again .

Hmmm... no office today , that was good ... had relaxing time at home ... weather is still the same cloudy rainy ... still no sun .. not that I mind it .... but not always .
Mentally feeling relaxed too in some respects .... and in some , storms are brewing up .... !!
Oh yes and I have become a great admirer of Captain Hector Barbossa of Pirates of the Carribean . 

I was not there before I was born .... I will not be there after I die .... hmm interesting .. that makes a full circle .. and zero is also a full circle ... wonder what is the meaning of life ??
Apart from that .... the wheels have started spinning now for project S . 

Could not make any entries for the last 2 days  , storm and rains had taken down the internet lines . Had some chance to get wet ..... loving the weather and hating going to office when the weather is such ... Had lovely breakfast today .... 

Monsoon has arrived full fledged , not for once has the sun peeped out from behind the dense curtain of grey rain clouds that fill the sky from horizon to horizon .
Very big event coming in my life too . Spoke to Joyda about project S . 

12 hours at office today .... doing totally pointless work .... what is this world coming to ...

Making progress in my swimming lessons .... was able to float and move .... however....now I know what it feels like to have a lot of chlorinated water in my stomach .... :) .....It rained today .... the monsoon is rolling in  ..... there is storm at sea ..... steady me hearties.....we will ride this one too .... !!

After 12 long years , I am again taking an attempt to learn swimming and this time I am confident that I will learn quickly and easily . Went for swimming today  and found out that I could get hold of it pretty easily .
Good .... finally something new ... 

Having not a fair time .....and getting very very contemplative .

Another Friday night .... after an usual Friday day .. :) , having  not much work in the office lately so getting time to do some R & D on other topics as well . Going to start something very new ... took a very big step today ... now , looking forward to face my fears and overcome them .

The term inner peace will normally strike a familiar chord in spiritual people ... now , with the second release of the movie Kung-Fu  Panda , a lot of people with lots of different mindsets are at least aware of the term if not know it as in realizing it .
I have been talking about a strange hurry that I seem to be in and add to it a growing unrest and anger and irritation directed towards certain people apparently for no reason , flaring up from time to time .... it is inner peace that I terribly lack and desperately need  .
Strange thing is , I seem to know the path towards that as if it is a full orchard which I can see from outside and dream of eating the fruits but cannot go inside because of thorn hedges surrounding it ..

Of late , I have been noticing that I am always in a hurry to finish off whatever I am doing at any point of time , as if I am going to be late for my next activity .... and as if I am always falling short of time ... as a result I am not able to organize my thoughts and activities into a well coordinated flow and this has stopped much of my creative thinking while my life has fallen into the only too well formed rut of home<->office . There is also a growing laziness of mind that I am developing as a result and I am falling prey to the vices that comes along with it .. true in keeping to the well known saying : "Idle brain , Devil's workshop" .
On the positive side , it is good that I have recognized this .. for now I can work towards stopping this . Actually this is not something totally new ... I have been through similar situations before where all my coordinated flow of  activity has been suddenly ruptured by a drastic change e.g. change of daily routine or surroundings etc. and it has always been some time before I could fall back to my original flow and create order amidst the growing chaos ... just like a footpath through a grassy field , growing clearer with time and the passing .
Said a lot after a long time ... if you have read this far .. thank you ..  

Going through the hottest day of this summer so far .... almost intolerable .. health has improved but the weather is making me feel worse than the ailment .

In failing health .... having a bad time .

Watched Kung-fu Panda 2 in 3 D and also Noukadubi .. at Inox Forum with cousins ..Loved both .

Maelstrom ..!!

Is it me or does a combination of vanilla ice cream , mixed fruit jam , honey and frosted blueberries make for a great nighttime snack ..?!?!

UPCOMING STORM IN THE HORIZON ..!!
