Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Friday, April 24, 2009. On Instinct, Rationality and Rationalizing. This short post (by my standards! Reflects on the fine art of instinct, applauds Malcolm Gladwell, and generally goes on without much purpose in its short existence. By now, I've learned to accept that my general thought process can be alarmingly disturbing. Actually, this is just a liftoff of something that was supposed. Here goes. My two pence, in the form of two points:-. The 'heart' at play. But, th...

http://dimensionsofjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2009/04/this-one-comes-from-folder-my-writeups.html
Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Monday, April 20, 2009. This one comes from the folder 'My Writeups and Ppts' on my laptop. Should have been here a long time ago. Then again, a lot of things should have been at a lot of places. But are they really there? Oh, and of course, sloth and wrath are amongst the seven cardinal sins. Here we go, alea alea alea (Yeah, cool song Martin, has stayed with me since I was 16). Oh, and btw, am particularly proud of the level of thought that has gone into this writeup....

Life...love...fate: August 2011

A History of Violence. Saturday, August 13, 2011. I've never faced a riot in my life. Considering the fact, that I happen to live in a country which is considered the fourth most unsafe country to live in (yup, that's true as per a recent survey), I count myself lucky. Living in a developing nation which is prone to terror attacks, rapes, daylight murders and mugging, I often used to think that may be things are better when it comes to other much developed nations of the world. Turns out, it is not.

Life...love...fate: September 2012
http://prankilicious.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 09, 2012. There is this statutory message in my office elevator. Something on the lines of:. LIFT IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC RESCUE DEVICE. IN CASE OF FAILURE, KINDLY DO NOT PANIC". For a very weird/unknown reason, I always misread it as:. IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC RESCUE DEVICE. IN CASE OF FAILURE, KINDLY DO NOT PANIC". However, scratch on the surface (which I often do), and voila, I'm a totally changed person. Though, I' afraid I'm not very proud of what I've become now. However, I'm...

Life...love...fate: April 2011
http://prankilicious.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. There is no such thing as a one-size-suits-all in certain aspects of our lives, I guess. In the last few months, I've figured out certain aspects where I would prefer a custom tailoring please. I write. Or rather, let's just say I used to write. Of late, I don't write. Don't write what I would have preferred to write, scribble my thoughts on a paper, type them out and share them. No, no, I just don't do that anymore. There came a point when I was angry. Really angry. I ...Okay,...

http://dimensionsofjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2010/12/2010-in-memoriam-caption-might-remind.html
Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Thursday, December 30, 2010. Caption might remind some of the Alfred, Lord Tennyson poem by a similar name. One of the most quoted stanzas from the poem was also one of the many highlights for my year that was. This stanza is:-. I hold it true, whate'er befall;. I feel it when I sorrow most;. Tis better to have loved and lost. Than never to have loved at all. I also must confess that this division idea is hardly my own. I am inspired by a similar (but a lot shorter! The yea...

Pleasure, Pain & Providence: June 2010
http://dimensionsofjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Tuesday, June 08, 2010. On 'Superhumans', and Humanity. Posting a comment that I put up on a friends' blog post sometime back. He has started his own venture post his MBA from MDI. It's called 'Discover Life', and is engaged in motivational workshops for young adults (to put it rather crudely). The original post can be found here:-. Http:/ getdiscoverlife.blogspot.com/2010/05/race-for-superhumans.html#comments. And now, for the post:-. An analogy from the book that comes to...

Life...love...fate: March 2012
http://prankilicious.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. My tears refuse to dry.And there is nothing that seems to make sense to me now. I don't know where you are or if you can see what we all are going through here. I miss you. I miss you so much. The event of that night keep flashing in front of my eyes, till the time I'm choked with an unrelenting sense of sadness. They tell me to be strong. I'm trying but I know I'm failing miserably. This world does not make sense to my any more. I wish you were here. I hope you are happy wherev...

Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Saturday, December 18, 2010. A Mid-Winter Night Musing. Am last night, I shut down my laptop after going through a few photos and stuff from my Exchange Program in Paris and the rest of Europe from last year. Some thoughts came to me, and I started putting them down on my cell phone. I started out writing for myself, and ended up forwarding the following text as a long sms to my family and some of my closest friends:-. Of all of that? What was the purpose of all of that?

Pleasure, Pain & Providence: November 2006
http://dimensionsofjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Friday, November 24, 2006. This attempt at poetry counts as a special one for me. Picked up my pen at 2am and the rest of the work was done by it in 20 mins flat. Helped me to vent out a certain inexplicable emotion from inside me. So, without more background, go ahead, read it, and like it or not, ur feedback will be appreciated! With You, Forever. Before I was even born, I was with you. In your gentle eyes, with your tender touch. You gave me life then. Nay, not very long.
