Just Like That

Been a long time away from blogging. Life has been too hectic and monotonous.
It's been 10 months since i came to US . Life has been on the fast track . I get up at 7:00 AM , Get ready reach office by 8:30 , Attend meetings , conference calls then work, work and work . By the time i reach home it will be 7:00 in the evening. Then have dinner , Browse net , check mails and ooohsssh i am totally sloshed and call it a day. Its the same routine everyday or same s**t other day. I have put on lot of weight also!!. Duppu keeps commenting on my bulging beer belly . It has become her favourite punching bag!!.
Cant beleive myself that Just a couple of years back i was a Gym freak and used to preach people on keeping themselves healthy and fit. Hmmn i have changed soo much or rather my tummy :P .
When i look back the last 10 months of my life. I dont remember a single day in terms of significance as there is nothing happening . If the same routine continues for another 30 years ( If at all i make it :P ) and when someday i sit and retrospect on the days i spent . I may be without any good memories at all.
I wonder if i am in some mad race and not sure where the finishing line is or rather what the finishing line is?!!. Recently i was reading a poem on a blog this is written by a teenager in a New York hospital, terminally ill with cancer. Its called Slow Dance . I was too touched by the last few lines of it.
" You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last""Life is not a race. Do take it slower. Hear the musicBefore the song is over"

So the eternal challenge is to slow down take a break or do a retrospection and start over all new again.
Hmmn time for me to slow down.

Hi Satish - thanks for visiting my blog.

Interesting post this one... its an interesting thing about life that makes it such a mystery and a contradiction at times. When life is so hectic - you wish for a break and a easier lifestyle. But if you suddenly get a longer than normal break, after a while you get restless (am saying this from personal experience :-)..... there are certain fishes in the ocean that swim at huge depths below the water. There is a termendous pressure of the water column on top of them. But if someone where to take pity and get them to a higher level, guess what happens ? ... No, the fish are not happy.... they just dis-integrate !!... they get so used to the pressure, it keeps them together...:-)

So, not speaking for the paunch, but as for the pressure & hectic schedules, in a way - its a boon. Think about it :-)
