Where have I been? Sometimes I wonder (shall we say dream, wish for, desperately crave,...feel free to add to the list) if there are hundreds of you wondering along these lines. Well to begin with, I have been away from this part of the world for sometime now but thats no excuse is it?- unless the place I have run off to is in the middle of the amazon? And then, I have been bogged by work and more work and more of it. And then, my family was here and I was taking them to the Night safari, the underwater world and the bird park (sigh!) and the works and showing off this city almost as if I made it myself (if you think its sad, I will forgive you this time).
More closer to the truth is that I have been looking at myself for sometime now. I mean not in terms of how I look and what the dreaded decade of the thrities has added to my girth but more in terms of where I was headed and where I am. Ages ago, a freind of mine told me she hates to get old and I laughed at her. How much of laughter can I muster today at such a thought is what actually brought me to a halt. Looking back, its amazing how I even managed to be here- not exactly a success story which can be featured in a sunday newspaper but coming from where I do, its hard to believe that someone/something didnt propel me here. At the same time, I look at what I have and I think, is this all? Is this is what I was after? What comes with this? What meaning is this supposed to give to my life?
