The misery of being cold

The bench was cold. Indifferent. People walked around him. Sweet fragrances following. He looked up, seeing different colors on people. He was used to this silence. The silence he felt when he saw everything. Everything that belonged, but nothing to him. The bench was all he had. How could anyone know that it was not always like this? He touched the cold bench. The paint was coming off. There was a breeze but the trees did not sway. A dry leaf rolled away on the ground. A little dog hid beneath the bench. Coming upto him, it wagged its tail. Nudging him to move and play, it looked longingly into his eyes. Not Finding a companion, it followed the rolling leaf trying to pin it down. The sun was almost down and the street lights were now switched on. Another day was nearing its end. He walked back. But today, he had a tear running down his left cheek.

The misery of being cold is that the smallest warmth moves you.

Life shows so many things to do. I am making my own now.

- teach a cow to shake hands.
- walk with closed eyes from my room to the lab and back.
- Copy from people who are not in your circle and show off :P

Such rich variety is so beautiful that when finally working, it seems like opportunities in life are endless. Granted, that a path has been chosen for some time. In the long run, it will be good to stick to one. But the short is important too. Keep running around the bush and loving it, till you can do it.

So said Saki

She Spoke with enthusiasm enough for the two.

And so I believe is the case everywhere. People almost never have equal shares of enthusiasm which is the most common case of conflict. Some people believe they do but actually break the truth in the voyage. There are the others, who believe it and stand by it, with overflowing enthusiasm forever. Saki's humorous vein has such strands of reality stuck with it, it leaves me speechless time and again

Move Over Mr.Varun

I am fine with gimmicks to get votes. We have all been seeing them, over and over again. But out short term memories tend to forget them. However, going over board is not an excuse. I wonder if a well-educated man would fight against the issue of terrorism by raising his tone against everyone of a sect. Quite despicable, considering his qualifications. Caught talking on tape, Mr.Varun said that he would gladly cut the hands off of people who would harm or terrorize HINDUS. Also, heard was a statement of scorn about names and comparing all names with "Osama". Wonder if even a in a light and humorous vein whether such a remark would be found acceptable by a candidate attempting to represent part of a secular state. Please oust him immediately if possible.

Here's a shocking video excerpt of the same:

WhooshMan Sagar and Back

A random visit to lab next door was just for an exchange of useless banter. The topic that was heard of was the lakes of hyderabad. Off went Nihar's binary scale of action. Let's go to Osman Sagar. And in the shortest route. Whoosh!!!. Fron Behind the Wipro road, off we went through hedgy, muddy and sandy roads, the bullet ever fresh still. Next we climbed onto the outer ring road on a two wheeler, got fined by a police who thinks learner's licenses are not valid to drive and finally via gandipet reached Osman sagar which had a board, that said "Do not go into the water, Crocodiles threat". after a futile hunt for crocs, we went back through a completely different route through shaikpet, glancing at old tomb-ish structures. The qutub shahi tombs perhaps and a final lone, not so tomb-ish structure, which arrived quite literally in an unexpected way. off through paths that would be roads in future, blocks that would be housing IT studs soon, and finally to see the oh-so-familiar-Wipro, I would call it a day very well gone.

The List of Various Walkers

1. The Running for life walkers : they stop at nothing.

2. The Crawling walkers: It's like they accidentally left the shift key pressed in Max Payne

3. The One Handed Swingers : one hand is tied to the body with an imaginary rope.

4. The Rotary Members: It's like they are another planet on earth, but cannot complete their rotation as they have to keep moving ahead too.

5. The Movers and Shakers : Their body is like an orchestra in full swing at every step.

6. Gym Boys : You can fit a rhino between their arms and their waist.

7. The Suicidal walk: everyone does this after a bad session. Head down, shoulders down, legs struggling.

8. The dismembered neck walk : when a well endowed fairer sex member exists in the visibility range.

9. The ear crutch clutchers : They are born with wires from their ears and an exuberant gait from which their song can be inferred, if not from their humming.

10. The Wall Walkers : Move as closely to the wall as possible. Possibly expect a mutiny in the centre, but not near the walls.

11. The Bouncers : Every step makes the rest of their body fly for a moment. The Wright brothers were so wrong to make an instrument to make people fly. Bit more practice and off they will go.

12. Spies : Keep looking down, suddenly look up as though the surroundings will change.

Of Back Rests and Foot Rests

Sticking to a regime is tougher than generally thought as. It is no wonder that people who strive hard for their success have no regard for changing themselves. Adherence to a schedule is a meditation which in itself should yield sweet fruits. Hoping that living a scheduled life for a period of time would soon give out sweet fruits enough for the rest of life is untrue. Every moment of life demands an unrest, a feeling of being unfulfilled which shall, if at all be satisfied would be, by attempting to reach out to the moment that comes and achieve more.

Another well known yet ignored fact is that we are all alone. We can hold on to the shoulders of giants around us, but not forever. Scaling even the smallest mound all by oneself gives one the sweet pleasure of success achieved by the self. It is this pleasure that one strives to achieve in daily life as the indulges of the human mind are all but temporal. But the real mementos of life are firmly put into oneself with each peak scaled.

Oh, and btw!

the regime was my daily running schedule which I am going back to again, and my gym schedule too.

And also, my daily lab hours!
