A bit of Wisdom

I've had a startling revelation today. I've realized that there are not too many things in life one could continue doing without getting bored of. And the reason for this bit of wisdom is that I've practically seen the proof of this statement.
My sisters friend had come down from b'lore las sat (Man!!! seriously hot chick :D). And i being the official chauffeur around was hired by my sister to take her around the city. It so happens that i love driving or at least i thought i did. And probably i still would have continued to do so if my job was restricted to just taking her around. But my parents being my parents and my sister being my sister usually remember all their chores once the car's pulled outta the garage. So i'm finally a chauffeur who also doubles up as the errand boy and a one time drive ends up as a relay between the garage and the various stores around( which are neither too closely located for comfort nor helped by the fact that not all the chores are remembered at once :( )This means that i spent almost 8hrs of a day(went on for 2 days actually) just behind the wheel of the car which doesn't really seem too comfortable a place to be in for that long a period of time.
It is, thus, quite understandable that i don't feel like getting back behind the wheel for another month. This drastic variation in emotions really seems very weird to me. Its almost like 2 very opposite emotions in a span of two days. Boy!!!! Man is truly a very complex creature.
Now applying my theory of generality to this piece of wisdom, i reach the conclusion that the act of driving could always be replaced by any other such thing that i enjoy doing and even that would meet the same fate if i went on to do it regularly. After all the concept of loving something is also based on the condition that it isn't available all that easily. Otherwise it would cease to remain the thing u strive to do and turns into something ordinary and mundane. So does that mean that shouldn't do things I like doing? May be trying to keep the frequency low would help. This helps create that anticipation factor till the next time I get around doing it. I've realized that its the journey rather than the thing itself thats more enjoyable.
Or is it that the things i consider to be enjoyable are more vulnerable to being mundane or my very psychy tends to take things for granted very easily and that there maybe certain people who would be glued to their interest all through their life?
I'll never know until i find some proof that could substantiate this theory. And for that i'd probably have to wait a life time........

Finally There!!!

I've always been wanting to write. Irrespective of whether it was sensible or not, whether it was thought provoking or not, whether it helped make a better world or not. Various issues keep raking around in my mind at various points of time depending on my moods and, more often than not, influencing them. My moods i mean. Sometimes I'm all pumped up and all ready for battle. Then all of a sudden i go into this contemplative mood where i toy around with various issues like factors influencing world politics (Boy!!! Of all the things). And then i can also get into this mood i cal the 'satisfied saint thing' where i just think about all that i have and all that i don't need to do. This makes me really happy and satisfied with life. I sometimes spend hours on end just lying in bed and smiling to myself, plugged onto my music player, content flowing out of me by the gallons. Twenty years of this and I've realized one thing. My moods ain't really the most reliable of the lot. It was this piece of wisdom that kept me from making a blog before this. After all blogs are meant to be written into. Not just lie around collecting virtual dust. I was totally consumed by this deduction, happy to reach a consensus at least, when i happened to stumble into some of the other blogs written by a few other (now i have every right to call them so) fellow bloggers. And one of the more noticeable facts in them happened to be the frequency of writing. It overjoyed me to no extent when i realized that not too many could boast of 'regularity'. This discovery spurred me into finally making this blog. So I would like to thank all you fellow bloggers for 'roping me in'. Thank you all.
Now onto more pressing issues. The important question. What am i here for? Well.. The answer to that i don't yet know. But i surely ain't here for raising my voice against the crimes committed by humanity in the name of survival. Not yet at least. All i wish to do is try and comprehend the full extent of my thoughts and get a general idea of how complex i am. That is all i am content doing at the moment. I ain't no hero nor am i a prophet. For that would mean that there need be a villain or a devil to counter me. After all every equation needs to be balanced. So that also means that if u didn't like any of my blogs then I'm still not all too bothered. The reason could very well be that i was 'balancing' for some equally well written blog... ;)
