So, Anil, that somebody should admire me or my writing or find me irresistible makes me lucky, as you said. But I, unlike you, don't get pumped up. I accept the compliments with all humility. <br /><br />And like I told you, I am not fretting, I am just considering, evaluating. Guess I have the right, the freedom to deliberate on my future. <br /><br />Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-59949551653583484442012-10-21T15:39:31.720+05:302012-10-21T15:39:31.720+05:30Insignia: Thanks for the tip, B! :-)

How many would mull by the tank like you Balan? To give an afterthought to the dog who peed instead of cursing it? :) <br /><br />While taking decisions; keep as very few variables as possible; strike off the unimportant ones. Its worked for me in difficult times. Oh! I know you have seen more in life than me; but a couple of tough decisions I need to take - this is what I did :) <br /><br />And at the end of it all; I am sure you will be happy with whatever you have chosenInsigniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819054091062923489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-26453363668175624352012-10-21T10:59:58.337+05:302012-10-21T10:59:58.337+05:30IT is lucky that one is resistless to another, and...IT is lucky that one is resistless to another, and when old age or over the hill phase is putting one refrain. Makes one pumped up !<br /><br />Perhaps, or is it not perhaps , say matter of fact you fret a lot when a dispassionate thought would let you realise that what you dream is not mirage but a tad away from your grasp and all that you have to is stretch your hand.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541988681105767002.post-70223814948347662682012-10-21T10:19:40.316+05:302012-10-21T10:19:40.316+05:30@Sujata: Yes, it is a tough decision, but I have m...@Sujata: Yes, it is a tough decision, but I have made it, to take VRS.

We take our familiar surroundings for granted; we are blind to it. When there is an abundance of beauty around, we'd still pine to go to America or Singapore! Perhaps it depends on the taste, but I know from many instances that this ignorance can be removed if one is taught how to be aware and observant.<br /><br />"however we unwrap it,finally It's simply a beauty called life.Nothing less and more.Rest all we fabricate;for convenience."

Then,suddenly it came to my mind,how many of such beautiful serene sights one could have MISSED in life.? There is all possibility..It's your outlook and perhaps the special faculty you possess might have brought it here.Yet I enjoy the unseen..What an exclusive beauty is life in fact ! Balachandran,it's life itself. Isn't it ? Our views,paths,thinking pattern...There is nothing so bad and good..Some we are lucky to explore.And that has got nothing to do with age.I was discussing something very interesting with my little one.In between we got struck with the 'age factor'.For what I commented "Age is simply relative",she demanded an explanation of this "relative" thing...You know Balachandran..however we unwrap it,finally It's simply a beauty called life.Nothing less and more.Rest all we fabricate;for convenience.<br /><br />For people like me,leading a life of Balachandran seems precious..for the simplicity and genuinity..And yes,the RAW in you is exotic..Irresistible !Mélangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807745317206193365noreply@blogger.com
