Dear Boston, So, the time has come. To bid you a farewell for the time being. We met some 4 years ago on a sunny day. I remember it was very hot. Too hot for a 22 degree Celsius day in early September. I was jetlagged after a 16 hour flight. And you were mesmerizing, as always. You've hosted millions of people like me. The Irish who touched your shores and caressed them centuries ago. You've hosted Thoreau, Swami Vivekanand, Ben Affleck, the cab driver from middle east, students of merit in MIT, Harvard, Tufts, Berklee from asias and the australias and africas and europe, also the homeless folks. I feel jealous of you treating everyone as special, but also makes me proud that I got to roam on the same streets in which the people who made a dent in this world did. You completely blew my mind. Your beauty, elegance, arrogance, and a bipolar weather. You've been my muse, and I was yours. You developed in me the habit of long walks in silence. Almost every week I get lost star...
Hey stalkers! It's 5:43 PM and I'm listening to some bhajans on youtube. Someone came to see our house, since we have to sublease it from January. But, this is not how a typical day in my life looks like. I'll write about it (my day in Portland) in second person. You get up at 5:45-ish in the morning, turn off the alarm which was about to ring at 6am. And then instinctively you call at home. Talk to Mummy and Dadi for half an hour. Boom ! It's 6:30. Now, you rush to the kitchen, to prepare breakfast. Mostly it's cereals and milk. Sometimes it's omelette, and rarely some leftovers from the last night which, you ordered via Uber eats. Then you wash your face, get ready for the office and catch the 7:20 bus to Portland downtown. From downtown, you catch another bus to Unum I/B or Jetport. There you go. You're at office around 8:20-8:30 in the morning. Now, you start checking your emails, teams messages and set yourself for the meetings which are generally aroun...
I am very much fascinated by this concept of 'Ubermensch' by Nietzsche. Every human must try to live a life meant to meet our higher intelligence. That's what I think. There are several things that Ubermensch should have like: defying herd mentality, having self defined morals and solitude. I'm trying to follow higher path. But this made me think about a lot of things. Like, I dont want to demean anybody, but 95% of men in our society, no matter where they're sitting professionally ultimately have the goal of chasing a girl. (I agree its biologically justifiable)... But why is it so? Life is much more than this. I believe that okay, go after them, but atleast have some righteous moral grounds! I had a conflict with a female I know.. I questioned the authority of one guy and I was accused of being manipulative.. Every guy knows the way one tries to woo somebody. This is universal truth... And its okay for him to do whatever he want... But this made me ques...
