Now and then...

As rightly said in my first blog that I am always bit hesitant and hence to start a new thing; be it a blogging, Orkut or face book (FB). Ya Twitter is yet far away I guess. I think it’s in my nature now. I registered FB around 3 years ago but never got a hang of it. After using Orkut for a considerable amount of time I took lil time to get acquainted with FB face (cover page) and when it was on my iphone, I felt it’s simpler than I made it in my mind. The ease and utility being FB in iphone was simply superb and it hardly took any time to ride or pre-conscious thoughts.
Though all the games in FB are kind of alien zone for me, I think time will come for that too. Or never? Who knows? Time will lift the fog. Right now I am fed up from the clutter on FB pages showing updates from others with Mafia war, Farmville etc. I have to shut them off.

On another note climate has changed vastly and the fall is even over before the start. It was un-usually cold for the start of winter and most leaves kissed earth without color transformation. I kind of hate that. Fall color is what I like and the transition from summer-fall-winter is simply superb (schumma-adardillee - Tamil). If I compare this climate change to Indian winter, I remember those days where we used to cuddle around the fire warming our blood in veins. Winters were like winters and now it’s really hot even in September-October too. Diwali was considered to be in winter and now it’s kind of shifting from winter to summer. Lost are those days where we used to get up early in Diwali days wrapped in sweaters and rush to bathroom for the hot water auspicious bath (Abhyang Snaan - Marathi). We had a kind of competition to get ready and have first special Diwali breakfast. That time this festival was all about new clothes, fire crackers, lot of food and school vacations. We used to get lot of homework for diwali which I used to complete in a day or two so that I have whole stretch of 15 days for enjoying without worrying about my homework and the thrashing from teacher if I couldn’t complete homework.
Joint celebration of Diwali at our old house at village was fun I am missing today. We all kids used to get our shares of crackers and everyone was hiding from each other so that no one should know where our crackers are. Gone are those golden days. Gone with time.

Now life is in fast lane. Office, cell phone meetings, email ids and cell numbers have replaced friends’ faces. Many of them lost in their own run of life, in their own small circles. Gone are the days when we used to meet at our adda every evening for the gossips and all the news and talks of the town. Few bucks saved from expenditure (or from pocket money which some of my friends used to get from their parents and I was envy about that for small span of time) were enough for the grand treat. What I feel now that the definitions of each and every thing, be it small or big, important or useless has changed. I know change is inevitable and unavoidable but sometimes I really feel that God should have given me wish that I can restrict at least 5 things from changing their form. I wonder what could have been in my list? Hmm.. hmm.. Pretty interesting…

I know I have moved from topic 1 to topic 2 and topic 3 to topic 347189 but I think it's all well as long as my heart speaks and not my mind..
