Prince Chraming's Charm...

I was to drive for a Rally yesterday, and I thought I would take my wife and the boy along witth me... Nirav was the youngest participant(no free lunch... he paid his entrant fee). It was relatively a tough rally and the bottom line was "should drive fast to win" though the organizers claim it was just for fun.

The day started well, nice weather the flag off was at woodlands drive in. We drove with Aneesh, a friend of mine in his car, Swift ZXI, with a lot of upgrades on the car, like an all new free flow exhaust system, K&N airfilters, Irdium spark plugs version 5 and blah blah.....

To cut the story short, we had whole loads of fun and some nice driving, the first rally for my wife and she did a great job navigating... it also involved a scavenger hunt and I remeber running a long way in ECR to catch up with my car so as we dont lose any time buying stuff...

Finally, We came 2nd in the over all championships... and yeah Nirav was the attraction...

Did you really drive with the baby... Oh! he is alread in the tracks... and a million cho chweet from the crowd... One helluva Rally and My Prince charming charm worked... So he is the official sleeper in my team from now on when I drive...

What next??? Trek de Himalayas.....

I saw My First Silver Hair!!!

I've been in a really existential mood lately. I am spending a lot of time alone and all I do is examining my life, thinking about how I got where I am today and where I'll go from here. I don't come up with a whole lot of answers, but I did come to realize one thing.

Most of my life, from the age of six, has been run by schedules, time-tables, deadlines, and the relentless ticking of a clock. I always had to be somewhere on time, do something on time or finish my work on time. I had assignments to complete, classes to attend, "deliverables" to deliver and places I had to be. Jesus! No wonder I saw my first gray silver hair today while I was shaving.

I don’t know if I like being bored now. I'm not talking about sitting around a twiddling my thumbs. I mean the freedom a person feels when he or she doesn't HAVE to do much of anything.

This is the first time in a quite a while that I am traveling alone for close to a month with no friends, no work mates or family or anybody that I know of. I live alone in an apartment. I do wht I want to do most of the time.

If I feel like touring, I tour. If I feel like reading, I read. If I don't feel like doing a damn thing, I don't do anything.

I don't fear boredom. In fact, I wrap it around me like a warm, fuzzy blanket, and I find it very comfortable. I like not needing a watch anymore.

I also write meaningless random stuff when I want to, not knowing why I started and where to finish like the one now
