random reflections
WELL! Look who’s here and look who’s back ;p
A general feeling of bonhomie, at peace with the world around – with all its ambiguities. Positive wu li and all that. Have been contemplating getting back to my blog for some time now, after that abandoned post some, what 3 years back?!
Dedicating this one to P, whose musings continue to inspire, and who should hopefully get nudged into adding some more words to her ongoing tour de force..
May she be my one sole dedicated reader too :)
No ambitious claims this time round. Take it as it comes along.
Ever noticed how notes jotted down often becomes a list of Things to Do?
But today am feeling at my rambly best.
Done cleaning the house – a weekly therapy for me, just as messing it up is. A place for everything, and everything in its place. Lovely weather with just the right touch of a breeze. Awesome music - may god bless worldspace, it’s a godsend for lazies like me. And Lots of books to read (thanks again P, btw, Ba loved Euclids. Not done with it though – sent it so that I could discuss things I got stuck in). And lots of movie screenings this fortnight – Here's one particularly recommended by M – Leila Khaled Hijacker – which she happened to see a few days back, and which will now be shown at Open Frame. Talk about coincidences.. I now sure don’t believe in them. Yet to figure out the workings of the universe though!!
Oh I read a most amusing piece of news in HT today – was referred to a few days back too – an experiment with a particle accelerator on Wednesday at CERN, attempting to simulate the universe’s creation, or the energy surges of it. I admit I don’t know much of the technicalities, any in fact, but there is a clear insinuation of implications of the experiment not being clear. And that would it bring about the end of the world/universe? HA! The experiment is going to be conducted in a large Hadron Collider 150m below the French-Swiss border. If it would at all have such implications, how necessary is that?! Oh, and the article signs off advising - just in case, on Wednesday, keep your windows shut!
Reminds me of the graffiti that read:
In case of a nuclear attack:-
Put your hands over your ears and your head between your knees,
And kiss your ass goodbye.
