Since he moved out to Andar street, it is jus a weekly meeting. <BR/>I miss those weekly meetings,which have now become annual reports!!<BR/>Our next gen might miss those beautiful annual trips, for a once in a decade trip!!<BR/><BR/>There is this philosphy, which says 'forevery individual, the world was at its best, when he was in his prime'. When the individual is young, the era before him was old, backward... and when he become old, the current times become more polluted, more corrupt, more sinful. Thus in his view, the world was the best, when he was in his prime.!!TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751857700666159784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553375.post-1122104285620608072005-07-23T03:38:00.000-04:002005-07-23T03:38:00.000-04:00we are all addicted to this chaos. i am always onl...we are all addicted to this chaos. <BR/>i am always online.<BR/>i manage to sleep 6 hrs max.<BR/>i dont go to bed till amma starts shouting.<BR/><BR/>when i was in coimbatore, life was much simpler.<BR/><BR/>After 3 yrs in chennai, i go to cbe, the first day is refeshing.<BR/>The second day it begins to look<BR/>too plain, too simple, too laidback. and u can't wait to get yr dose of chaos.<BR/><BR/>nothing particular abt cbe, its the same in kerala, madurai everywhere...<BR/><BR/>i too felt the same but no we can't have enough of this information/communication overload.<BR/><BR/>maybe we shud take some time for ourselves everyday. meditation wud be ideal say for an hour.<BR/>apart from that life is not really in our control.<BR/>nothing much can be done abt that IMHO.expertdabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02100466157835417344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553375.post-1122098380205044202005-07-23T01:59:00.000-04:002005-07-23T01:59:00.000-04:00Good one!Well I call it network pressure!
