A different kind of sanity
It’s weird when something one should obviously stay away from can be good for you. Think of chocolate sundaes and brownies. Hehe. For someone who uses sweet food in metaphors, I hardly eat any. I like to let other people dig their own graves with high fatty food. Gosh all the times I didn’t eat the “so called yummy” apple cake in barista was good for me. Can’t imagine how much I would weigh with that to add to my conscience.
I didn’t mean food and the guilt trip it takes you through. I wanted to talk about what our usual life is and what the alternative path could be. We’ve all settled on a daily routine ‘cos it’s the one which offers the most sanity to us. Now, straying away from that, even for more than a day can throw most people off... well unless you are dysfunctional, in which case nothing generic would apply to you anyways.
The idea is that there is a different one too. I called my impromptu trip to Chennai a need for a different kind of sanity. Something to help soothe my mind and nerves. :-) Not sure if the trip actually provided that or not, but something so small can probably do very little. Major amends need to take place. One doesn’t need to stand like a rock in the pathway of water. That’s too tricky, for one, you could get washed away or eventually will get all worn out n tired. One can stay by the bank and get their feet wet from time to time and dunk in whenever it gets too hot.
The trick is to find that sagacity without having to live to be as old as the sages we usually see.

I believe being yourself helps to reach that sagacity you were mentioning
- Guess from whom you know...:-)
bah.....too philosophical
and now a mystery to boot
yes the point though was that we need to get it sooner. Folk need to be proactive in aquiring this slightly "hatke" knowledge. What was that murphy law kinda thingie ... experience is that comb life gives you after you've lost all your hair.
:-) and if I know you.. then you shud know me.. in which case u shud also know that I suck at guesswork. I need to be spoonfed. It's sad, but true!
wot mystery? and lazy bummer u.. write something already. Linking to cartoons is not bloggin :-P
ah good....was just checking to see if anybody reads it at all
Wanted to check if you could try what you you generally are reluctant to do - Guess - It's me Vardhani
And to the other anonymous ..a bit of philosophy is always good..is it not ?
vardhu .. it's me ante, mundu raasindi nuva? and here i was thinking i had a secret admirer .. hehe :"> ..
i think i manage lil indulgances after long lean periods of abstinance. The idea is find a balance between the two.
