Finally

Yes I now use a Nokia 3125 & what's more I accomplished the feat by not having to change my number, although transferring 180 contacts onto the phone is proving to be a royal pain in the behind.
Best feature about this phone is internet at my fingertips & email on the go - who needs Blackberry anyway?

Back to earth only to find.....

February was a blur. Ever been on an OC for an @ conference? Then you know what I mean...2 weeks prior and 1 week post conference are always spent in a daze. The actual conference flies by and suddenly you're left panting, exhausted, still pumped full of adrenaline...the sudden dearth of noise, chaos, tempers & laughter is missing, leaving you with a strangely incomplete feeling.
Normal post conference symptoms being experienced...although it was a tennis tournament in this case.

******************
Importantly, I am back...or rather I will resume my blogging ways soon. A lot of cricket was played in the last 2 weeks which I couldn't talk about. Luckily, a lot of cricket will be played in the next 4 weeks which I definitely shall talk about here.

*****************
I need to find my bearings, resume other activities soon to keep the sanity quotient intact. Humanity's undying stupidity, greed & herd mentality has become almost overwhelming....how does one change this? I wonder what Gandhi would have done in today's world....where materialism, greed, ideological craze & insensitivity envelops & permeates all spheres of a man's life?
Gandhi...or Marcus. I will once again turn to Marcus for some answers...and for the rest to that other book which I haven't picked up in a while....

Seems like we are reaching the sum of malevolence, hate, greed & complacency...the nadir of "discord between the senses and the intuition of cosmic unity"...exactly what the Gita tries to address ...though in a convoluted, more complex fashion. Krishna says, "the root of all suffering and discord is the agitation of the mind caused by desire"...that's not exactly news....but when will we start listening?

Connected!

After 5 weeks of impatience I am finally connected at home! And no less than wireless connectivity Y'all! Thank you BSNL for coming to my neighbourhood at last!
Blogging, learning & skype chats are sure to witness an exponential burst of growth!

Life's a Pitch

I've taken the plunge - if you think cricket is life you might find it interesting

Musical Nirvana

Seems that the divine powers of music are being benevolent yet again to this music starved soul.
On February 10th, I hope to be there to witness the maestro Live.
