Resurrection

Not that anyone apart from myself would notice this, but yes, I have finally convinced my lazy self to try to resume this collection of thoughts and observations. I guess it has been around 3 years since I last keyboarded something in here.

3 years – seems to be a fascinating time frame; perhaps miniscule if compared to an average human life span, but enormous in the context of a person’s life. I guess the last 3 years have been monumental in my life, perhaps the most eventful ever.

Between 2008 and now, I’ve seen, done and experienced a lot of many things. Started and finished my business education, travelled a little to different countries, met many interesting people, learned a new language, learned more and more about different cultures, people, societies, learned more about my own family.

I also learned to be more tolerant, patient and accepting, perhaps to the point of being indifferent. Saw most of my high school buddies getting married, and a few even becoming parents! I broke the heart that I will care about more than anything else in this world, ever; lost love, made friends. Shifted base a couple of times between Germany and India, each time settling down unwillingly.

In the last 3 years I saw hundreds if not thousands of movies, documentaries and TV shows, realized so much that is to be known and even more that can never be known. Read unimaginable amounts of text on vastly diverse topics such as modern finance, world history, philosophy, neurosciences, space technology and practically almost anything that is out there. Developed a likening to the art of photography, started loving the feel of winds gushing past me when I’m riding my bicycle.

I guess it’s good to realize that there’s more to life than trying to “win” at everything and being the “first” to know or do something. Am I a wiser man now?

I just hope that I’m little less naive than what I was 3 years ago.
