Rye whiskey for tonight. It's been a while.

Some Pink Floyd. Some OMAM. Dream theater and some Coke Studio. Followed by numb disco tracks where my unapologetic moves result in boisterous laughter followed by facepalms galore. Missus retires. I continue "nothing else matters". Lost a sense of decency. You know, it really doesn't matter.

Kid wanted to smell whats in my glass.The usual "medicine to make me strong" statement didn't work out. My hesitation was vetoed by the missus. Kid had to smell it and hope he enjoyed the aroma of life :-P

This was a feast for me completing a half marathon! A milestone. Is it ? This was my first half and it was brutal. Thoroughly enjoyed it. More to come. 

Now the serious part..............

We are distracted. A lot.
All I see are distracted people.
I am distracted.
We cannot be.
The raw moments in life cannot be recorded.
Am I thinking backwards ?

PS: Written when my glass was ice cold but the whiskey was half knobbed!

OMAM

Black water - Of monsters and men

A few years ago I found this amazing group producing top quality songs. I was hooked to all their albums and they are original and creative. I was lucky to catch them live this week and I am blown away at the performance. This all seemed like a fever dream :-) All the way from Iceland added a mystic aura to the show. 

What is it about taking a moral high ground ? To be fortunate about what exists and taking a stock of ones true self determines fate to a large extent. And for those less fortunate, keeping them somewhere in the back of our busy minds should be a good start.
