==DR: I did go; not sure I'd go back (when I wrote this post). Now, I guess it doesn't matter. :)

==DR: Often, you'd be surprise

==DR: Often, you'd be surprised. But, yes. :)

Ah, well. The acknowledgement itself means a lot. I am glad it is still in your radar! :)

==Jolvin: Perhaps, yes. In the experience I had, it seems almost sub-conscious, however. ==DR: Thank ye! ==Gauri: Thank ye! I guess so, all these acts combine together and form our identity in a sense, then. The song is by Simon & Garfunkel :) ==Dharma: Is that conditioning? Hmm. Interesting thought. S&G always rock!

==DR: I guess it does @ translates in the means of expression and communication we employ be it photography, writing or painting. I see, you agree. :)

==DR: Thank ye, yes they will remember. Walk by them, someday, you will know, they will say a silent hello.

==Abaniko: Great! Looking forward to it! ==Dharma: I was so sure that your comment would lightly chastise me for the structure of the post. I know, I feel that too @ lack of innovation, truly! Everything boils down to timing? ;)

==Bhumika: Thank you. I studied and spent a lot of time in Pune. Somehow, I never warmed up to it, part of it, my own resistance. Yet, some of the best moments in life with friends have been in Pune. I have left my mark on the city on the streets and bylanes and coffee shops and campuses, and they beckon me every time I am back there. Perhaps I have to learn to listen more carefully! Thank you! :)

Now that you speak of pennies being saved, one more person, who rarely comments, will soon make his presence felt.

==Videoxy: Or perhaps someone is waiting for the log? Or maybe waiting for it to be turned into firewood or something, be of use, to someone else. It is anyway far away from home.

2008-05-06T06:27:35.076+02:00
==Phish: You make sense alright, and you are on the right track this time! ;) Curiosity is a good reason to stay on the path. That's when life starts becoming a small adventure if not a big one as AquaM says. And I'd like to be in the situation where I could forget the character of the decision that got me here, that would be nice. More often, it stands there bare and naked, staring hard with dark circles under red, swollen eyes. The ghost of the difficult choice that was my victim.

==CJ: Welcome to Gaizabonts! Thank you for the link. Does make interesting reading. It is perhaps slightly more than just the choice of word. Contemporary social standards insist on being silent, leave alone making a forceful statement, even if it is objective. But, I do agree with you! :)

==Dharma, Citric, and AquaM: A

2008-05-06T06:13:44.805+02:00
==Dharma, Citric, and AquaM: An awesome experience reading the responses! Thank ye! Dharma, to answer both your comments together, I think the question of animacy of something is extremely subjective, in fact. If we perceive from a stone, then we perceive from a stone -- something like the Zen practitioner staring at a Zen garden. If meaning is to be derived and perception is to be felt, it can happen from any quarter. Most eastern philosophies speak of everything in this world having energy and being able to interact with other sources of energy. In some form, always a transaction. It is not so much about the language, as much as the confusion of the fusion of two philosophies. My personal beliefs about inanimate objects making intellectual choices for us are non-existant to say the least. In fact, it may be very easy to say that a sign board which says, "turn left" is an "animate" object which is making a choice for us. I would look at it as an inanimate object that has received some "intellect" through an "animate" and "intelligent" object; i.e. a human (who designed the sign board). What Citric is saying is also very relevant - and I believe that is very easily (mis) construed as divine intervention or 'powers that we don't understand' -- spiritual and philosophical obscurism -- as I call it. The road choosing us, is simply a place where you are with "limited or no choice", which, in itself is a huge build-up we generate - to justify our choice. Think of the last time you ever felt you didn't have choice. It is just a case of a not making a difficult choice -- difficult because our way of life as we know it would have been drastically affected. That is why I say we make choices in our favour. Which, now, so wonderfully brings us to AquaM's thought (and hey, welcome back, been a long long while!) that life is no adventure. I agree with that thought because, unless we take the "difficult" choices, it can never become an adventure. If we don't see beyond the "default" it will almost be purposeless. Perhaps that's where the giddy feeling becomes a constant companion -- maybe the feeling is of all that could have been. Somewhere down the line, we see the impact of our choice and at times, regret overtakes us - and then we fashionably state how we are above being regretful. Very Matrix-like for sure, your mind makes it real! (Can't get any digressive and tangential than this! Thank you all, once again, for a stimulating conversation.)
