Varied Thoughts

I am out of delhi for some days. Won't be seeing her for many days (11 to be precise). Gives me perfect opportunity to think about other things. So for some days no more mush talk and no more 'DEVDASial' behaviour.

Train journey from delhi to guwahati is long and tiring, it takes 32 hours. Even though Rajdhani is comfortable and food served is good, still it is a very long journey with nothing much to do. On the brighter side it gives Ayn Rand's 'The Fountainhead' another chance with me. The book is difficult to grasp in the beginning but since now i i have got the hang of it, hopefully i will finish it by the end of the tour.

I have never really liked guwahati. To be fair i have'nt seen much of the city, but of whatever i have seen i find it filthy, overcrowded and ill planned. Reminds me of my birthplace 'Agra', which fulfills all the above adjectives and more.

At 'Moradabad' station i saw an old coolie with a big hump on his back, poor man looked woefully deformed, his body titled to one side. Looked to me he will he having difficulty walking. I thought what will a considerate person do when encountered with this coolie, should he give him luggage  to carry and provide him employment or spare him the pain and anguish that he most certainly be having while lifting the heavy load. Probably former will be the correct thing to do. It also makes me realize how fortunate i am, hope i remember this when i'am cribbing about small pleasures that i do'nt get in life.

Off late i have become a manic buyer, especially for my clothes. Being a true gemini, i ca'nt make decisions. So i always relied on others on what clothes to wear and what things to buy. But recently i have been  changing a lot of things in my life and doing my own shopping is one of them. So these days i often find myself stuck in situations like having two shirts in hand and not being able to decide i buy both of them. Its really making me bankrupt.

One final thing, i must do a bloody MBA before the old age sets in...
