Knowledge speaks, Wisdom pretends to listen

Yogi Berra says when you come to a fork on the road, take it.
I am trying to develop a lateral view to things I see and feel everyday- it may involve keeping a distance from all the shindig to develop a 'broader' perspective of things. So I see everything as it happens, feel everything like it should but am not there in participative mode. I am 6 inches above the ground in a holier than thou gear fornicating with my Quasimojo. In this mode, even probing questions can be skillfully deflected with a "depends , on your point of reference" flick off my sleeves- dhamaal invincibility.

I could write nothing for a 100 Q paper and claim it to be my POV, whats my fault, I am diagonally parked in this parallel universe.


You might call me ch#*ya....I could call you something else...but thats besides the point. Somebody has to be the broad boy- and call Carpe diem. If Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux have to cohabit, someone has to be the wise one.

Because all the world's a stage, and all the men and women are merely players. Each one they have their exits and entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts
But................................ Sheikh Ispiar to ek hi bana na......jo tangdi taang ke je tamasha dekha

And there was one Jesus who said, "God forgive them, for they know not what they say/do"

Abhi ch#*yon, jao chalo karo ch#*yagiri.....

When I should be writing my PS

I bore through two and half hours of West Side Story and Arundhati Rao's Come September and another reading of 'The Howl's eli eli llama homosexual rantings.

Is it good or bad to be impressionable- each one is affected differently by what is crap for one, kitsch for another, spur to someone else? Is it a harm to be enthusiastic? Should one pretend moral superiority and lose the innocence of the action reaction spiel, and be deliberative and not get the high of now and done- whats next?

I have been trying to think. But conventional ramblings keep me busy.
