I hated school, and I hated Tamil!<BR/>And what's more, my classmates thought I spoke kannada when i was actually speakin chaste tam!<BR/>The first year esp. was torrid... I still don't like Chennai so much but I guess it's home and all, and I'm appropriately senti about it...<BR/><BR/>dunno what all this has to do with ur blog :)<BR/>- LakshmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1112827261424575952005-04-06T18:41:00.000-04:002005-04-06T18:41:00.000-04:00Although we speak of enjoying the present I think ...Although we speak of enjoying the present I think it is very difficult to do that. However hard we try I think we will always feel the future more bright and the past a bliss. As you said when we are in the present we are too busy to notice it.<BR/><BR/>As K and u said it is time to move on! What drives us to move on...is it because we have given up hope or because it is the right thing to do. When do we decide that it is time to move on. I am in little touch with most of my college friends becoz they r busy with their daily lives and I am lazy and less motivated to keep the one sided communication going. So is it time to move on?BUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269399124313593255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1112821158102723172005-04-06T16:59:00.000-04:002005-04-06T16:59:00.000-04:00I agree, just that I feel 25 years is too long a t...I agree, just that I feel 25 years is too long a time to live in the past. You are correct though, time to move on!RShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472333363851646195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1112820879115541032005-04-06T16:54:00.000-04:002005-04-06T16:54:00.000-04:00I think, for all of us we never forget some glimps...I think, for all of us we never forget some glimpses of childhood. These glimpses stay forever and ever. These are moments of bliss, true happiness (http://mosakutti.blogspot.com/2005/02/i-demand-my-share-of-pure-glorious.html)<BR/><BR/>Somehow in our adulthood we try to recreate this bliss, maybe my actions or just yearning for the past. The thing is Radha Lakshmi and Kanchana have moved on. It is your time to be praising the kids because they did something right? :) We should be thankful to our parents who created the right environment for us to have these moments which we will not forget for life. I also agree that we need our own praises in adulthood.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, if you do not live in the present then @ 55 you will be thinking, what did I do when I was 25? Also, quest for achieving the next big thing in your life truly means you are living, only if you are enjoying the journey and not worrying about it. I do like to take sometime (day/week/month/years) to enjoy what I have achieved and try not to think “that everyone does that” :) Do you ?kamalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500212471802282914noreply@blogger.com
