Musings ...

"What is life if not just a series of memorable moments..."

"Life is not measured by how many breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away."

"What is the use of living to be eighty years old, if you can't enjoy the present the way you want to."

"Don't forget to enjoy the journey while you pursue a destination."

While I don't claim to have said any of these, I need to keep reminding myself every once in a while that these are the only wise sayings that really matter in life. Cheers to that!

The Road to nowhere

Venue - Sakleshpur, a deserted road
Time - 8:30 PM, Dec 26, 08
Background - A scarlett red Swift, 4 friends, a carton of beers and coke, 80 kmph, a starry night

A cardboard box magically appeared, filled itself up with 4 bottles KF premium, a 1,.5l Coke bottle and a DSP Black. Courtesy of a local wine shop. The Swift came to a total stop on a small tar road winding through the dark countryside. Paddy(?) farms on both sides of the road. Hardly any space for another car to pass. But it was a deserted road. What are the chances that another car would pass by at that time of the night in that part of the country on that particular night? Well mathematically speaking, tending to nil, nada, zero, sonne, null, cipher. The boot was thrown open. Flickering hazard lights playing proxy to strobe lights. Sony Xplod acting as DJ. The Verve - Catching the butterfly, Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere but not here - playing back to back. Clear sky punctured by a thousand radiant stars to form a million patterns. Total pyschaedelic moment. Fifteen minutes of pure intense heaven.

Verily one of the best moments in the trip. Much obliged guys. Hope we have more such moments :)

Mood - Dave Matthews Band - If I had it all
