So too with life. Excitement initially almost always giving way to the rigors and trials one faced leaving us painfully scarred.

Nothing significant has transpired. ‘West Wing’ continues to inspire and take up a great deal of time. Alas it shall all come to an end as work resumes for me again. This time the last few days of ‘Aladin’. At the Capitol Cinema. Now extinct and vacant. Where I was there a few days ago for ‘Teen Patti’. Where also the terrorists that did the carnage at the CST station, took refuge when they were challenged.

Reflecting back on deeds transpired, one still shudders at the thought of those that suffered at the hands of these merciless killers. Many keep away from visiting the sites of the killings. Somewhere their conscience pricks. They are unable to reconcile with the insensitivity . Many do. Their motto being that allowing this effect to disturb procedures is exactly what was desired by those that planned it..

There is lively chatter at the dining table. Politics, business, world affairs and how easily we have all understood or mis understood situations. It is a fascinating world. This world within a world. This Russian Doll effect that I have talked of very early in my blog, once. ‘Duniya ke andar hai duniya…’

A cold creeps in. It is in the air they say. They always say that. The ailment shall continue and for me, last, several several days. Says a lot about who and what you are and in what shape.

‘Aladin’ beckons tomorrow. A song and the last days of the film. Been a a while. Shiamak Davar and his crew. Disciplined and worthy. I still shudder at these moments. Take me away somewhere. Somewhere where the peace is tranquil and calm. There has been far too much contemplation. Time now to react and move on.

“Defeat never comes to any man until he admits it”

“In the time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”

“The strategy of life is so very strange, just when we have all the answers, life changes the question !”

Some interesting quotes that came in on the mobile. Each one heavy with compassion and fact.

May the Lord be with you…

I am yours,
