THE EXODUS

Hey.....agreed Genesis (my first post) was a long time back.....but in the Holy Bible too there is big lapse of time between genesis and exodus :)
Even otherwise....i think my exodus has already begun......it began with me leaving (well almost) home at the age of 17....in a quest to find myself...a quest to achieve something what my heart believed, no matter what the world said.
A quest to LIVE life, not just exist.

The heart speaks, it does. It's something which I believe happens to us every moment, but we are so caught up trying to rationalize it, that we end up not hearing the muffled voices and signs and cues that are all around us. The little connections here, a song there, a voice here, a word there, a sudden gesture of kindness and concern from someone you hardly know, an uncalled blessing, a feeling of lightness in the heart.
The heart never lies. The mind tries to rationalize what the heart says, but the heart doesn't think twice. Somewhere, I think, we try to strike a perfect balance which i believe one should never try......well, being a libran that should be second nature, but I don't think it's ever possible to strike a balance between the heart and the mind.......
I always end up going with the heart :)

It's been amazing....!!
When I look back at the 25 years of my life, I think I've done nothing worthwhile, then I close my eyes and look back again; this time I see everything clearly. I've done so much.....from being a good kid who would never have to be told even once (forget twice) to study, to the prankster who would go around climbing all the possible trees within the campus, chasing kites, making wickets out of wood, sawing wooden planks to make bats, dreaming(and actually trying)about manually making a flowing stream in which water flows, with all the rocks and beautiful looking trees, thinking about "What if I fly a kite and attach rolls of strings after strings....where would it end up?"

So much has happened......
Home, school, Ahmednagar, Architecture, Pune, Training, Kolhapur, Work, Pune,
Graphic design, NID, Ahmedabad.......heart all over it.....not one decision was taken with the mind over ruling the heart.

Anyway....here I am...trying to vomit out as many words as possible from my mind, heart and soul....i've tried doing that through my mouth but doesn't work!!

Well, a lot has happened over the past week....indeed a lot
A good jury....an awesome trip to Pushkar near Ajmer in Rajasthan, back to NID Ahmedabad. The same night...a trek to pavagadh near Baroda.Returned the next day afternoon and the night...a bike ride (my first driving experience in the maddening streets of Ahmedabad...though I was glad it was night...) to the Indira bridge, airport road.........isn't it nothing but AWESOME!!
