Time is an illusion

You can't see it,

You can't feel it,

You can neither hear it,

Nor smell it.

You think you have it,

And just like that

Poof!

It is gone!

A year feels so short,

A minute feels so long.

Time isn't real.

Time is an illusion.

Nagarjuna Sagar

When you learn something, you need to put it to use. You need to apply what you learnt to a real world scenario. Only then do you really get to know how much you actually learnt. Last Sunday was one where I put my driving skills to the test. I went on a bike trip with a great friend to Nagarjuna Sagar Dam. This guy was my bike guru. He was going to decide if I was roadworthy. He's not a strict teacher per se, but I didn't want to disappoint him. So, the day after I got my driver's license, we set off, in the sweltering Hyderabad heat. The city part was really tricky, and I knew that I won't be confidently able to maneuver the traffic deftly. Already we were a tad late, so my guru handled the bike till the outskirts of the city. After having sumptuous breakfast(amazing sambar!), I started driving, and he guided me. Initially after a few hiccups, my confidence started to wobble. Fortunately, the highway started, and we had lots of free road, and no pesky autos....

New year resolutions

Belated happy new year! It is the time of the year where people set goals and targets for the year. Most fall short by the first or second month. Even I do. But my last year's resolutions were actually so good, I accomplished what I set out for: learn 2 foreign languages, Italian and French. At a basic level, but yeah, enough to survive. And some other goals too, which I did achieve satisfactorily. So what next? I have some resolutions this year too! Let me share some: Get better at piano This is compulsory. No two ways about this. For the past few months, I have become a little distant from the piano. But not anymore. I already started learning a song, one that is usually on my lips! The joy I derive from playing the piano, even if for little time, is very immense. And I already feel better. There is something magical about learning music, and at any cost, I do not want to disconnect from it. Do I have a plan? Umm… no. I have a new piano on my mind, but that depen...

Walking

Do you have an activity that gives you joy irrespective of your frame of mind? Yes, fantastic! No? Get one! Fortunately, I have one. An activity that is such a great stress buster. It does not need anything. You just need to get out of your house. Just go on and on, without looking back. Yes, the activity I am referring to is walking. My mom goes walking, my dad goes walking, my grandparents walk whenever they can. Almost everyone in my family has a reliable mode of transport: walking. As a kid, I used to love walking at night, with my family. As I write this, I am getting pretty nostalgic about those moments. Heck , the number of times I used to meet some friends who reminded me of some homework to be submitted the next day, and I forgot about it, and going home to finish it! ...
