My WISHLIST

So I was lying on my bed this afternoon listening to my iPod, when I started thinking about things I really want to do in life, like a wish list. Here it is,

  • Climb Everest. (Totally cliched, I know, but who doesn't want to be on the top of the world!)
  • Skydive.(My dad's done it, and it's on video..just hope i do it without chicken-ing out!)
  • And Bungee Jump.(Okay, maybe not, maybe ill faint just looking down!)
  • Come on a reality TV show like "Moment of Truth" or "The Amazing Race."
  • Meet and write a song and perform with any one of my favourite artists(Highly unlikely, but a dream's a dream)
  • Live in a country home, you know, lakefront mansion, tea on the porch, the works.
  • Go to as many wildlife national parks around the world. I do want to see the animals before they are extinct.
  • Sleep in a four-poster bed. And a water bed.
  • Drive on a road that never ends, not too fast, again on a country road. Hopefully.
  • Learn how to dance, properly, any dance form. (belly dance!)
  • Learn a foreign language. French, Portuguese, Spanish, any! (and have secret conversations no one understands)
  • Experience something out of the world, magic, anything spiritually significant.
  • Write a book.
  • Travel continuously for a year, at least.
  • Fall in Love, true love, with some one like Rhett from "Gone With The Wind" and not mess it up like Scarlett did. (Okay, this one is dramatic)
  • See the best sunset, or sunrise, whatever, anything beautifully moving.
  • Encounter a personality as great as Gandhi or something, just to be momentarily mesmerized.
  • Sing from the soul and dance to the music of the world, actually, first be able to listen to that sound, like Brida can, but then that's fiction. Or is it?
  • Now I am blabbering. Something more real now. I want to sleep in Egyptian cotton. (Don't ask me, Gwen Stefani thinks it's "luxurious")
  • Yeah, I think that's about it, but then people never stop wishing or dreaming, do they? An update soon.
  • Oh ya! I want to also have a chance-meeting with someone I haven't seen for a long time.

New Quotes

For people who believe strongly in the illusiveness of life, to doubt would be more correct than to bear full conviction about anything at all. But then again that questions their primary belief in illusions. - Aditi A world without faith in a higher power or a god is a better world where we can be responsible for our own actions; where we can be kind to one another because we want to and because it is the right thing to do instead of being frightened into behaving by the threat of divine punishment. Many events may have defied your ability to explain, events that seem like miracles, but if you are convinced that you failed to understand them because you're still woefully ignorant about the universe and the learning will never stop, then, you cannot and will not believe that a deity altered the workings of nature. Don't ignore reality in order to comfort yourself, for once you do, you make it easy for others to deceive you. Understanding breeds empathy. We do not writ...

ChAI

I used AI to make my chai this morning.   Why? Because I wanted to see if I’d still get that dopamine hit from something I didn’t even make.   I wanted to know if, by outsourcing an experience whose only purpose was my own consumption, it would take away from it.   By removing the act of boiling water, steeping tea—by only keeping the intent to make it—would I still feel the satisfaction when I took the first sip?   I read somewhere that you should aim to do hard things. That when you push yourself, when you fight resistance, and break through the boundaries of what you thought you could do, the dopamine hit is bigger.   But what happens when everything can be done by AI?   What happens when AI whispers, "I got you," and we stop doing anything at all?   The dopamine hit then wouldn’t come from the effort, but from the discovery that AI can do more, so we do less.   But here’s the catch—AI will do more, and w...

Kept / Wept / Slept

For a while now, I've been wearing house slippers that are way too big for me. Firsthand experiencing the dangers of seeking (and knowing) too much, and finding out, rudely, unceremoniously, curiosity can kill more than just the cat. While exciting to taste the fruity slurps of seemingly full-knowledge, the satisfying crunch of acknowledgement, like punching holes through a thick stack of warm copy paper, the thrill of cliff jumps can culminate into bum-first crashing into the deceptive deep. Nobody warns you. That the water is always shallower; swallowing life too fragile to keep. No one explains that the depth is a trick. That the more that you dig, the less it will stick. Hunger loud from the tum; buns left in the breadbasket: none. And thread count of those slightly expensive sheets? No reliable guarantee of sleep. Long story short, if worry is the thief of joy; self awareness is the enemy of miracles. And so the slippers go into that unopened shoe cupboard, unused, where their...
