Time to dream a new dream and quiet that lizard brain. Ramble on!

You'll build your walls, and I will play my bloody part
To tear, tear them down

Mumford and Sons - Babel

You - the indifferent world

I - ramble free mind

Kiddo

Story of an Immigrant
Letters from the sky

--- Civil Twilight

Nothing much to say. Just an innocent state of mind waiting for a cab to take me home & be greeted by the kiddo making wavy hand gestures - 'Yo, How was your day? Nah, I don't care. Come life me up. Call of duty'

What precious time --

I do have time these days!, as in my mind feels the tangible ticks & tocks of the ever walking legs inside an inanimate frame. In putting my kid to sleep & between changing diapers, I picked up a book - The Last Mughal - and finished it. Poor books of yesterday that lie in dusty ( allergic ) shelves and look with envy. How dare I abandon them and lay my eyes upon a new one! Sorry folks.

And to accompany me during this reading journey is Coldplay's - Everything's not lost & Deep purple's - Soldier of fortune; both seemed to have a profound dozy effect on the kid as he seems to drift sideways first and with half-droopy eyes succumbs to sleep! What magic :-)

My bouncy, rocky kid keeps me busy. Curious, energetic & 'sneeze-on-your-face' kid. 

We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.

How laborious is labor! Its a battle zone. Man must be prepared :-)

Boredom. Foster Wallace talks about how "being unbored is the key to a meaningful life". Just as we find "stuff" to keep ourselves busy, the creeping emotion of boredom keeps haunting us. It attaches to our non-local mind like cholesterol to arteries, if that makes any sense ?

Shun auto-pilot. Work hard. Keep fit.
