Ganesha says…

Ganesha says ‘a travel is on the cards for some, health & marriage for some others & few students might need to study’ – thus goes most weekly astrological predictions in papers & magazines … funny to say the least :-)

Well, for me the 1st prediction is coming true… finally! After returning from the US almost 3 years back, I never wanted to come back ‘for good’. There’s no fun in being static, either in the US or in India, especially at this age when the whole world begs to be visited! Nor is there any fun earning just a pittance in India. Cutting to the facts, I’m off to Bristol, UK next week & will be gone till the end of the year. There is no saying that it won’t get extended till the end of 2007!

All said & done, there is a slight reluctance too, to let go of things so familiar & venture into the unknown, even though things are easily 'known' in today’s age of the internet. This reminds me of the story of the crab that just wouldn’t let go of the rock it was hanging on to, missing out on the joy ride with the river! This crab is hanging on only very mildly & the currents are strong. Fortunately, other adventurers have expressed delight in their exploits… so lots to look forward to :-)

For those of you lucky & bored enough to read this, I’ll still be available via good old gmail. Adios (very soon!).

Best plans are never made

A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving - Lao Tze.
This pretty much summarizes my life these days. I don't know where I'm headed. All I know is that I'm enjoying this moment.
