Considered today why anything sours.

Marriage, Status, Wealth. 

There is an idealized version in our minds of that state. But reality is different. 

Is there a way to maintain the early stage joy, into a longer more enduring time frame ? How exactly ? 

Also, today I saw a man in the back seat of his car, praying and bowing to his mobile phone. Perhaps some content on it. But absurd all the same.  

New Beginnings

There is a new beginning in every end.

Malshej Ghat

02-Jul-2016

Malshej Ghat is about a 4 hour drive from Bombay, so we made a DayTrip of it. Never been there before and was looking forward to being out in the countryside during monsoon.

Geeting out of the city took the most time naturally, but a the rest of the drive was lovely. Visibility on the Ghat was barely 20 feet, and waterfalls all around us. Beautiful!

We found a nice Kamat Udipi restaurant along the way and had nice hot Idlis, Vadas & Dosa. Just our kind of food. And did I mention Freshly Coal Roasted corn ?! Yummy.

Love is where you are -
and anywhere you are -
is where i want to be - no matter what may happen -
no matter where i go - your arms are home to me  ❤

Robert Frost and the Dark Inviting Woods

Driving past the mangrove forests on the EEH this morning, and I had a sudden flash of new insight into a line from a poem :


"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   
But I have promises to keep,   
And miles to go before I sleep,   
And miles to go before I sleep."


The pull of a vagabond dreamer, a poet and a romantic to explore the woods both physical and mental, and the corresponding pulls of everyday life and its responsibilities.
