A thing of beauty is a joy forever
Its loveliness increases
It will never pass into nothingness
But still will keep a bower quiet for us
And a sleep full of sweet dreams and health and quiet breathing
Endymion,J.Keats
End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back and all change to silver glass and then you see it.White shores and beyond. A far green country under a swift sunrise
Gandalf
Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition
I.Asimov
Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos ancient and vast from which we spring
C. Sagan
'O me!O life! of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities filled with the foolish;what good amid these,O me,O life?
Answer.That you are here that life exists,and identity;that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.'
W.Whitman

Black terminals


We do so many things everyday...and we get used to them and they seem trivial and maybe even easy....

But I grabbed a screenshot of my desktop today for other reasons and at the end of the day, before deleting the jpg I looked at it....

And I thought...I ve come a long way from the teenager who logged into the hol BBS with a 14400 modem.......

A really long way:) I always thought that people who look at black terminals with letters passing through must be really guru-smart...

And now I m just casually doing it and finding it also fairly easy......its been a long time indeed:)

Perfect moments

Ever witnessed or experienced maybe is a better word a moment where you sit back and observer your life?

Its a really strange moment when you feel like u r actually sitting in the background and the environment around you, the people are interacting, going on, continuing and you are in a pause watching yourself, observing yourself actually ..... existing under these circumstances.

It has happened to me a few times and these times I vividly remember.

The strangest thing is I realized first I was having such a moment when I was very young.

I was on summer vacation with my grandparents and at that particular moment I was in the car with my grandfather. The day was really very sunny and warm, and the sea (we were near the sea) was perfect for a swim.

We were going shopping and then swimming. And I was really looking forward to it.

So at that moment, looking out of the car, I witnessed myself being happy and I thought (a cruel thought for a child) that I should hold on to this moment of perfect happiness, to remember in the years to come. I actually promised myself to remember that moment of happiness and all other moments would measure up to that.

Probably found wanting anyway.......I can never reach that sunny place anymore. And it aches........
