Big sunday tomorrow - Nothing to loose

Hi Again,
There are conditions in some of ours' lives that are not solely our folly but tend to add a big dent in the way our life progresses. GOD has been generous enough not to treat me any different (someone detects sarcasm here? maybe yes!). As a result, I have been subject to mission of resolving an years old impediment that has been pulling me back since long. I will sure discuss in detail later on because this is another chapter in my life that has put my perseverance, patience and belief system to test.

Tomorrow I hope this will end for good. When you do not have that one thing, the fight to obtain the same becomes all the more interesting because you can go over the edge to achieve what you do not have without having any fear of loosing anything. Simply because you have nothing to loose!

That one got a bit philosophic. But applies to my situation in this case anyways. For now, I wish the reader pass me some luck for tomorrow. :-)

Good night and have a great weekend!

How's 2011 unfolding?

Hi,
Now that I am a couple of weeks into the new year. I have a feeling that the turns of events that I discussed here have unfolded quite positively, although much is still to follow but if the start of a journey is good, it is always known to be a good omen everywhere for rest of it. Taking that into account, I am on an emotional high and able to view everything through an optimistic lens these days.
Much much is on the cards for me this time. Some tasks are self assigned and others are responsibilities. Nothing that I am subject to at this moment seems to be a burden. Although exertion is sometimes a side effect. A jog and little twisting turning out in a local park is a good treatment for the same.
A sudden change in thoughts here, long time ago, almost around childhood, I used to be a curious kid tweaking stuff, connection wires around and making small mechanical contraptions from my old broken toys. These days around, the same instinct has caught back and I am now feeling that this activity is also a good connect!
So look forward to some DIY stuff that I wish to document well on these pages. Maybe a gadget for my bike, a piece of furniture or just random stuff.
So! Off I go now.
Take care.

Resolutions Ho!

Hello and welcome to 2011!

We make some promises at the beginning of every year and try to stay true to them. However, as these promises are made to ourselves while sipping a coffee or waiting at a traffic stop; casually in other words; we are at all the liberty to break those self made promises without any feeling of remorse because it is all within us.

So better let the whole world know what you are up to so that everyone can pull your ears and say, "Hey kid! what about your promises you made the other day?". Or even if they don't, awareness about the fact that you have expressed your intentions to rest of the world is motivation enough to have one carry on.

So here is the meat. I have decided to stick to two activities that I dearly hope to imbibe into my personality. Now when you stick to something on a routine, it becomes a habit, habit becomes a trait and lots of positive traits make a person better over time. Isn't that what our quest is all about? To get better and better each day?

Ironically, our minds also obey the laws of thermodynamics and tend to follow the more random path with ease. It takes some energy to bring order into this mind and reduce its entropy somewhat. That is why sticking to these seemingly small and most honestly made resolutions seems all the more difficult.

So activity number one is to read at least 20 pages of something technical each day. That is almost as quickly the technology changes in my field of interest so that will help keep pace with the times.

And second one is to stick to an active lifestyle regime, that includes breaking my relations with the quilts, blankets and recliners, bonding still better with gym and finishing pending tasks proactively so that they don't tend to clog my mental gateways.

A bonus resolution is that, for the good of planet and its beings, I will continue to stay a veggie and a teetotaler. :-)

Seemingly simple, but lets see how this kid performs this time. Good night :-)

A beautiful marriage proposal

Just finished watching the Indian classic movie Shree 420. Yes, you correctly felt my aversion for the term Bollywood!
If there is something that took me with itself, is the Raj's marriage proposal to the poor school teacher Vidya.

Raj innocently opens up to her, his feelings towards her, which along with honest expression of love, also reflect a promise to support her with all the essentials, a house, clothing, and other amenities. In the same sentence, he reiterates his sense of responsibility when he expresses concern about the education of the children that will form a part of his family subsequent to marriage.
Silly as it may sound, but in the context of a poor chap, the proposal and the expression of the fear of his inability to support the relationship in same act does indeed reflect a sense of responsibility that effects from a commitment to deep rooted love.
On the other hand, the fair lady, in the role of a traditional Indian girl, who is unable to express her love in explicit words, her speech impeded by hesitation and shyness, indicates the same by uttering few words to reciprocate that the other partner may be there to join him in his efforts and support the cause.
Few more seconds of this realization is so well expressed by the artists that it seems difficult to be expressed through words. The inability of human kind to express new found love and her mute expressions of affirmation and hesitation combined, are so well enacted.
The act followed by a beautiful song and lyrics reinforcing the promises made in dialogue form great few minutes.

If you ever come across this movie, try to appreciate this one so beautiful act that begins few minutes after the first hour of the movie.
Regards.

How to put it?

It is strange, but it seems that it has always been so that at the turn of each year a change has been infecting my life in a positive or negative way. Since last few years the turn of the year has been bringing a turn of events in my own life as well.

Strange so it seems, but it is true. Or maybe that is how I perceive the events at the turn of the year. Maybe that the events happening throughout the year are of similar nature but it is my own inability to put those events in the same perspective as I do with these.

Whatever, but is seems as though the time around month of my birth has been programmed to obey some astronomical rules and each year as the calender ticks by, this astronomical trigger comes into play and presents a challenge that takes all my senses and wits to task. Sometimes along with wits, emotions as well. :-)

Not a coincidence that this blog is titled Recursive-Vortex. Most of the time our lives keeps falling into the iterations of a recursion that are consequent of our actions that are in turn initiated by our desires and ambitions as we strive to fulfill them. And we find ourselves analyzing and introspecting the same set of situations, thoughts, outcomes and principles that we have been a few units of time ago. For me this unit of time seems to be a year.

And I firmly believe that like each time, this will pass away after playing a bit with my metal and leave for me an experience worthy of cherishing, leaving a wiser, abler, happier and content person behind.

Hope you could make something out of it.
Keep recursing for good :-)

Take care.
