A few more thoughts that I would like to get preserved in this blog...
1. Heard somehwere: People are meant to be loved while objects are meant to be used. But in the world today, it's the opposite.
2. I've heard/read in innumerous places that the journey is more important than the destination. I never could agree with it until that moment... How can one not focus on the destination (goal) had always been my point of view. We were trekking in Mahabaleshwar then... Bala was always on the edges of the cliffs trying all sorts of X-factor stuff which was causing my BP shoot. Banti remarked "Careful da... else you might trek to the end of your life". It was then it struck me... Whatever we do in life, one thing for sure, which we can also term as the end, is death. If the goal was what was more important, then death is what should be assuming the focus and not the journey, the life! But experientially it is life that is more important and at that moment of realisation, drops of tears popped out: tears of realisation!

I loved the first, but can't say that the second is exactly true. For example, some believe that a measure of a person's life is how many people shed tears during his death. So death can be an imaginary goal-post. Steve Jobs too refers to something like this in his famous address at Stanford.
A book I read back in college (yes, namma college dhaan) had this as the crux of the first chapter: "First write your epitaph. Then start working towards it."
Don't trust Sivaji when he says "Saagara naal therinjuttaa..."
Awesome!!
