Rohit’s Weblog

On a random weekday called today, after a long day in a random place called office with someone not very random called Stylu was a conversation on the phone. Given the banality of the situation, it was pretty interesting to hink about the ‘topics’ we touched upon.  

Resoluteness of the mind>> the different perceptions of the ‘mind’ and the ’self’>> random work stuff >> psychology of nothing>> routines and rituals>> Actions in front of expectation >> things people do and things people say>>  learningit out of books and learning it from life>> Right and left( i mean the wrong)>> Things we believe and things we are forced to believe>> Influences on the mind >> society and individual >> logic and intuition>> things we like to do as opposed to things we are ‘expected’ to like to do>> Happiness as a choice>> setting standards>> being ‘typecasted’

These are just a few of the keywords of the conversation that I stuffed here. I have learnt at my end of the spectrum. But when I look back at such a call, I really start thinking( duh!) is it even worth thinking about the time we spend in thinking about thinking in general?

Takes me back to one quote of Rene Descartes which I might have interpreted the way I wanted to and actually is not making much sense to me now-

I think therefore I am.( Such a poor sentence gramatically)

A new day, a new lease of life, everyday. Everything passes on and somethings strangely keep coming back. Constancy is something boring and ‘boring’ is a word that has been introduced by someone really bored. 

So I jotted down a few things that I really need to do this year( Don’t ask me relations). Not  ’resolutions ‘ as it is a word that has been abused way too much. So here goes my ‘things to do‘

• A fresh look at everything not so fresh.
• Learn a new sport.
• Drive. In the true sense regularly.
• Do something wild.( something a lot of people can acknowledge as ‘wild’)
• An agenda for every month.
• Teach anyone anywhere and anything. Share.
• Atleeeeeeeeeeeast 4 trips in India.( Travel )
• Meet interesting new people. Socialise.
• Focus and unfocus.
• Slog and Relax.( enjoy the both)
• Give up something once in a while to see how it feels.
• Stop judging people. Stop being assertive. Stop poking my nose into ‘other’ things. Just start stopping.
• Watch ‘good’ movies. Read ‘good’ books. Blog more often. 
• Buy a personal domain. Write on irani chai.
• Update this list once in a while.

You probably might be thinking( if you know me) that I wrote all this because I am ‘bored’. But I am planning to take them a little more seriously. So whenever I am off track you know you have a responsibilty as a responsible reader of my blog.
