Thoughts

Posted: Apr 20, 2006 Thu 07:18 am     Views: 61   

Been away from posting ilogs for a long time. Re establishing business and over commitance with work could be one reason but perhaps lack of motivation was another. For a long time I have been thinking to write about my experiences on K2 and the very recent expedition in NARA Desert, but somehow the thoughts are not gathering through and yet I promised Zeena to wrote about my parachuting in France. It indeed appears a very long of commitments.

I have been haunted by thoughts for some days now. It is so true that we only miss once we dont have it. Once its there, its just comme souvent and we ignore how the blessings came about us and what they mean.

I feel that of late Chowk has become insipid. I have also seen inconsistency in the interacts and ilogs of some very old chowk members. I wonder if they themselves write or just ask their staff/siblings/kids to fill the chores. Sometimes they seem to forget what they have discussed at lenght on another occasion.

So much for now till I feel motivated.

Cheerios
