Looking at the last dozen years with closed eyes I see this whirlwind of events fleeting through my mind. Also imprinted is the self evolution from calm and the angst. Seems my salt and pepper hair is not lying. Lot of invisble, almost forgotten small, small things and few indelible visible events and thoughts paint the reverie.
Lots of increased self-esteem. Lots of self learning. Who am I? No regrets, no justification. But I do get the feeling of wanting, trying to do too much. Being greedy of latching on to the all the good things of life all at the same time. Without waiting for one to seep in before eyeing the other. Everything good thing is best when savoured well. Enjoying the doing part and not craving for the reaching part.
Its like a guy from b-school campus, impatiently changing jobs - every 2 years...to rake in the moolah...and miss the cake. Or a trader who stuffs his shop [n mind] with myriad things and missing out amusedly mulling over that cute lil mouse gnawing blissfully at the Rs. 1000 note.
Yah, being greedy more, gets us lesser of the thoughts one will want to mull over and enjoy. Especially when I wanna close my eyes on a tired day. And why was I busy btw, what was I running after. Being greedy of the more gross things of life leaves me with a feeling of being famished of the softer things of life and calmer state of mind.
Back to prose!! And Morn! Brew :)... N I feel revived. Thank God for small mercies.
