Well...

This blog is becoming dormant by the day... it actually has already become isn't it? Well, I write here more so for chronicling my state of mind than for the sake of anyone else...

When I look back, I think I was using this space as a vent out, as a companion with whom I can share whatever I wanted to, many a times in coded language that only I can comprehend... Probably now there is a person with whom this is happening. Not only that, the computer used to be a constant companion and "time" was available aplenty. These 2 things aren't there anymore... probably, that's why...

Anyways, once Shakthi gets a laptop of her own, probably my love affair will begin again :-)

I've been noticing certain trends in the thought patterns and life in general which is a little amusing as almost every average guy seems to have landed up with almost similar equation...

Towards the end of college, focus on getting a job -> Slog a few years, pursue promotions/relocation -> (Not satisfying enough and boredom) -> switch companies (may involve reloaction)-> make money, name, baby(ies) -> If baby, then start of another 25 year project -> ...

There is more to the rest of the equation, but I will stop here as this is where many people of my age are. If I simply look at it logically, "dryly", it is cloying to think if this is ALL life has to offer!!!
Well, unless there is a taste of something more profound, it is unfortunate this is how the equation will be - an endless pursuit of happiness, but still, at the end, left parched and wanting for more!

Hmmm... Interestingly, I had quoted a similar equation 8 years ago when I was fresh out of college in this post http://ramsrules.blogspot.in/2004/12/life-is-beautiful.html

My God! I can't believe I romanticized the mundanity this much! :-D
