<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;">On any non-disruptive day our (my) lives are determined by
those two hands/4 digits which keep moving no matter what and I keep moving
along with it and making sure that everyone else attached to me is moving along
with it as well, not a second later, not a second before but just right on time.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Every minute counts, “we don’t want to be late”, “we don’t
want to miss the 1<sup>st</sup> 5 mins of this”, “we can’t go to bed 15 mins
later”, “we need to wake up right before this time else your entire day is
messed up”, “this activity is good for your brain”, “and that is will make you
stronger” and then “this is required” and “then that will get you through this”,
etc etc etc….. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Thanks to this time off, when I look back at my perfectly
chaotic so-called normal life, was it really a normal-HAPPY life? I was
dragging myself and along with me there were other soles getting dragged to the
above list of must-needed-to-be-at places.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Now that we have nowhere to be, our lives are no longer dictated
by those 2 hands on the wall. I feel everyone around me is truly happy and
thriving, without those so called really important place or things they needed
to be or do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;">And it made me wonder do we really need that long list we
have that will so called make our future generations lives better or will they
be a better humans if they are just happy, enjoying their childhood without the
added pressure from the parents to perform better in everything they (or their
parents make them) put their fingers on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;">There is not denying that along with summer slide there will
be spring slide and maybe a fall slide <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as well, but at least it will be a happy non-chaotic
time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Will few months of freedom and happiness ruin their lives?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #274e13;">PS: I am not talking about grown-up, we always have a reason
to make our lives miserable, quarantine or not 😐<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometime in late Dec, Wuhan was in crisis and I didn’t know.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometime in mid Jan, there were some talks of a virus in
China and I regarded it like any other not so pleasant news.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometime in 3<sup>rd</sup> week of Feb, this so-called virus
was more than just any news to me. And yes, it was more than a news as it was almost
at my door.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1<sup>st</sup> week of March, panic was all around, I was
still going strong and didn’t give in to all the irrational hoarding and complete
hunkering down (no I was not mindlessly going to concerts and partying) but I
continued to do 2 things, get some fresh air and do groceries like any other
week.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
18<sup>th</sup> March 2020, something changed, I became
paranoid. I truly don’t know what induced the fear in me and not just a fear fear,
but a fearful fear. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Swiftly rising figures – Possibly? Knowing that it’s getting
passed on across age group – Perhaps? Mutation of the virus causing it to be
active in air for hours and on surface for days – It Could Be? Reading that a
child couldn’t fight it – Maybe? Countries clamping down one thing after other
– I don't know..i really don’t !!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All I know is that we have to get through it… We really
don’t have a choice<i> (other than isolating)</i>. DO WE ?<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Looking through window at breathtaking horizon, flying above
the clouds, seeing the city lights fade, getting into the unknow world………..magical !!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">On the recent flight, I had hours and hours to kill and
nothing to do when it hit me again (it happens from time to time, but then the truth
gets buried under the routine), we take life too seriously, we forget that we
here for a certain time, we run behind thing which definitely makes our life
better but is there an end to the chase. Has it ever happened that once our
dreams have come true, have stopped chasing the next one? Or that when we have
attained our childhood desires, we have lost our true self in the process. I am
not trying to make the point that any of this is wrong but in today’s urban
life is there an end to the chasing wants. Have we overlooked the difference
between needs and wants?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Have we forgotten the need to slow down to look and admire
those countless horizons around us, why have we stopped acknowledging clouds of
emotions within us, when was the last time you stopped to breath and thank the
countless people who light our world, why do we need to venture into the unknow
world to find our true self. Why limit these thing to only when we have no
other option.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">When are you up flying you trust that unknow person to drive
you across oceans while you just sit waiting for your destination. You sit with
those countless unknow people who you are courteous and make small talks to.
Life tends to slow down; you sit and just wait for the captain to announce that
the descend has started. No matter what your patience level is every single
mature individual on board shows the same endurance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">So, are we truly that different from each other? Deep in our
heart don’t we all share the similar feelings?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

“<b><i>Without</i></b> me there is no fun, but <b><i>With</i></b><i>
<b>Me</b></i> there would have been no dance floor”<br />
<br />
………when you are awfully cautious, do you miss out on fun?
YES, you certainly do. So, should you not be cautious? NO, you absolutely
should. <br />
<br />
When something goes wrong, we are told that we were not
careful enough and when we succeed, we think we should have made an even bolder
move. When things don’t go as planned, a bulleted list of dos and don’ts are readily
offered to mess up with the already broken heart and when everything goes as
planned, an even longer list of how fortunate you are is also readily handed
over to you. As long as you are nodding your head in the desired direction, you
are role model but the moment same head starts telling the real feelings, you
are a scar.<br />
<br />
When can everybody breath on their own terms? with non-interfered
emotions….. with not-seasoned brains… I don’t know but I hope for the non-judgmental
world where the phrase would be, “<b><i>Without</i></b> me there is no fun, and
<b><i>Without</i></b> me there would have been no dance floor”<br />

I was cleaning my inbox and came across many such good mails.

<span style="color: #351c75;">I was so happy after grinding the rice and dal as the mixture turned as smooth as a cream. Since the entire recipe was from internet, <em>as usual</em>, there was the tip that we need to keep the batter in the warm place to enhance the fermentation process.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">So when you live in a place where the average temp is below 10 deg C, you at once think of the oven as the safe warm place. So did I. Since my oven was not warm, I switched it on for 4 mins at 350 deg and then after some time, I place my batter in the oven with the lid tightly sealed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Next morning, as soon as I woke up, I rushed to the kitchen hoping to see the batter double in quantity. Least did I know that I will find idly instead. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Yes, you guessed it right; I assume oven was way too hot for batter to get fermented and instead it took the privilege of turning itself into the idly, hoping to make my work easy. And yes, <span style="font-size: large;"><em>my huge idli was yumm</em></span>.</span>Minihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15889850017593974746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160361200876151241.post-75187848478144067782010-04-06T11:33:00.000-07:002010-04-06T11:44:37.878-07:00in the WOODS<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><em>…………….on a breezy day, walking through the trail, surrounded by the green foliage n bloomed flowers along with the chirping birds.</em></span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUMqQNfwT_QkW-Clrxqvgu6zQC9oP2wcHGSWfjku4oEb7rHC4OYP-GMtnkJQgw_q5zRQufwvAmSOrh6jq3u26BgLrlQKXtZOyIF8os5_yRfFTWzEL7f-c-gKg6_jug4kf9-jsxBb4mO1-/s1600/IMG_2365.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUMqQNfwT_QkW-Clrxqvgu6zQC9oP2wcHGSWfjku4oEb7rHC4OYP-GMtnkJQgw_q5zRQufwvAmSOrh6jq3u26BgLrlQKXtZOyIF8os5_yRfFTWzEL7f-c-gKg6_jug4kf9-jsxBb4mO1-/s320/IMG_2365.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRR7OCZLk6-cx8wgagl43Bi0v5G-VmRRqBGDPugJA8zCSia_WXRoKgdPTbxBsTX9m3nWgNslrjGAX8yhZwvkESEDYmrTlhj1yWTOshvWeDk23l7Q5YO6gP9lKZvXnTvCKjvobt-dp2_r_z/s1600/IMG_2373.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRR7OCZLk6-cx8wgagl43Bi0v5G-VmRRqBGDPugJA8zCSia_WXRoKgdPTbxBsTX9m3nWgNslrjGAX8yhZwvkESEDYmrTlhj1yWTOshvWeDk23l7Q5YO6gP9lKZvXnTvCKjvobt-dp2_r_z/s200/IMG_2373.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbAh63hMNs6y_o4ubTrOD0FEsLXT8nirrGrNQXGkmM0A6vCB-8-bFHXJSPBg91YDFvul-XRTVxfFM1-wR-84SIIG5WrnUqc_ziS0c4HTJT4gfV9wp-t_UvQVheh8lVSfLuhYeMvaCss0cq/s1600/IMG_2375.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbAh63hMNs6y_o4ubTrOD0FEsLXT8nirrGrNQXGkmM0A6vCB-8-bFHXJSPBg91YDFvul-XRTVxfFM1-wR-84SIIG5WrnUqc_ziS0c4HTJT4gfV9wp-t_UvQVheh8lVSfLuhYeMvaCss0cq/s320/IMG_2375.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkPFC-sCV3rbC4nDA5M1LdsPFFLuDhVpKf6g481PqhzXjI0BrSfWVnoMItZX75YYyEV6G48S6_U26ewqVvUgVacOcUsImR5u5BdDwrbE-16DPYrQePoVSO0PMq1YNBp1qDqRKNPAmF5rEi/s1600/IMG_2402.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkPFC-sCV3rbC4nDA5M1LdsPFFLuDhVpKf6g481PqhzXjI0BrSfWVnoMItZX75YYyEV6G48S6_U26ewqVvUgVacOcUsImR5u5BdDwrbE-16DPYrQePoVSO0PMq1YNBp1qDqRKNPAmF5rEi/s400/IMG_2402.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

But this year, a friend asked us if we would join them at <a href="http://sdtccwa.org/">Maple Valley temple</a> to attend the celebration, well to be precise to eat charts ie, spicy, tangy, awesome Indian snacks.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #0c343d;">To be honest, I didn’t had much hopes, but anyway we went & it turned out to be such a delight. It felt as if I was in India, loud music, people dancing like crazy, DJ speaking in Hindi..wow!! I had never-ever thought that I will enjoy seeing people soaked in colors.

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><span style="color: #4c1130;"> Alexander, the great Greek king. after <em>conquering</em> many kingdoms, was <em><span style="font-family: inherit;">returning home</span></em>. On the way, he <em>fell ill</em> and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLNmRw3an_lG1bmblS8ZwQtLHhJHYlXaOKBbDrhsshsf4-s5XSEGiioORHKK4ETCXgwHoE0ArJ8zHilvXD7MUOI_ZA5abdJhm3_FCnGtdw9hyphenhyphenguH5aA1xcvcuPDdzc4rVxBB10wJ-VPJse/s1600-h/IMG_1854.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><img border="0" height="150" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLNmRw3an_lG1bmblS8ZwQtLHhJHYlXaOKBbDrhsshsf4-s5XSEGiioORHKK4ETCXgwHoE0ArJ8zHilvXD7MUOI_ZA5abdJhm3_FCnGtdw9hyphenhyphenguH5aA1xcvcuPDdzc4rVxBB10wJ-VPJse/s200/IMG_1854.JPG" width="200" /></span></a><span style="color: #4c1130;">He now longed to reach home to see his mother’s face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit him to reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, I have <span style="font-size: large;"><em>three wishes</em></span>, please carry them out without fail.” With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king’s last wishes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;">“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “My<span style="font-size: large;"><em> physicians alone must carry my coffin</em></span>.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the<span style="font-size: large;"><em> path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury</em></span>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;">“The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute’s rest and continued. “My third and last wish is that <span style="font-size: large;"><em>both my hands be kept dangling out of my coffin</em></span>.”The people who had gathered there wondered at the king’s strange wishes. But no one dare bring the question to their lips.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;">Alexander’s favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. “O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?”</span><br />
<br />

I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any body. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So <em><span style="font-size: large;">let not people take life for granted</span></em>.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell People that not even a fraction of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that<em><span style="font-size: large;"> it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth</span></em>.</span></div><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;">And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I wish people to know that <em><span style="font-size: large;">I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world</span></em>.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><em><span style="color: #741b47;">Alexander’s last words: “Bury my body, do not build any monument, keep my hands outside so that the world knows the person who won the world had nothing in his hands when dying“.</span></em></span><span style="color: #4c1130;">With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.</span>Minihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15889850017593974746noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-160361200876151241.post-89277690440955360182010-02-02T10:58:00.000-08:002010-02-02T11:03:37.127-08:00Orcas Island, San Juan WA<span style="color: #741b47;"><a href="http://www.visitsanjuans.com/">San Juan Islands</a>, a group of 3 islands, Lopaz Island, Orcas Island & San Juan Islands/Friday Harbor is one of the most beautiful place in Washington.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">The view from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Constitution">Mount Constitution</a> was breath taking. It offers the panoramic views of San Juan, Vancouver Island, Cascades & Olympic mountain ranges. You can drive or hike to this point. Its worth an effort & must-see, must-see, must-see place to be if you are in/going to Orcas.</span><br />
