Am back!

It's been eons since I have written anything. The last I remember writing was when I finished the last part of a story I was building. So much has changed since then - I am older, though not any wiser. Life has changed, it's more comfortable, albeit with a different set of challenges. As I was looking at my earlier blogs, it is absolutely amazing to see what mattered then. My 25 year self was remarkably aware it seems! He did focus on the right things, was ambitious in a very non traditional way! One of the paragraphs that I was reading was ironically making so much sense - the blog was on what matters, and here's the paragraph "Is there a divine duty we ought to perform or are we designed to sleep walk through our lives like this. May be this meaningless existence is the meaning of life. May be we ought to find the meaning and look for our own purpose. May be we ought not to think. Someone once said "Most of the things we do in life are insignificant but it's important that we do them!!". I guess it makes most sense of all I heard all my life." I can't agree more - as I reflect back on life, the one thing that I promise myself is that I will not let my 25 year old self down. He expected a lot from me, to be happy, to have a purpose, to seize the day! I think I need to remind myself that I need to do more of that. Stop postponing joy for a future which may or may not be as I envisaged.
