Bi-Cycling...What's wrong with it!

Cycling to the office is the new trend in cities! And it seems its the White Collared who are taking it to the roads.Well, literally!

A close look to the Bi-Cycle would tell you that its almost too good to be true. It is good for your health. It is good on your pocket. It is good for the roads and it's absolutely good for the traffic. It is good for the environment as it is pollution-less, noise-less, rash-less and what not.

Now if a Bi-Cycle is so good, then what is stopping the By-cycle revolution in the world? Why it has to be the Elite class to understand the simple basics of good health and clean environment? Then, this means that this is not so simple and straight forward a logic, after all. And, it does not fulfill the need and hence is not the natural choice for the majority.

Lets talk about the need of today. The need is to travel long distances within the cities. And do it fast. But why? Can we choose not to travel long and fast? I think, this is the only choice that can make By-Cycling a reality for most of the onlookers who want to be on the Cycle. What Say?

In Search of Happiness - The eternal Journey!


Who is searching for Happiness....? Am I...? Are you...?
Well, how do you do that? and what exactly is Happiness anyways?

Actually, these concepts are all man-made i suppose. Human Beings have developed to such levels where they are now entirely different from other known species. And what we have essentially done is that we have created time for our minds to think and develop new Concepts and keep us engaged. I call it the Entertainment of the creative mind.

But then people would say that you could feel Happiness and that its not all that intangible. Well, yes. True. You could feel it but only once you create it with your thoughts. I think Happiness is just a notion because it is in retrospect that we notice it and not at the time. Its an enabling feeling and an expression that describes a time that was spent well.

Now, if even an iota of this theory is to be believed, then how could we ever define Sadness..?

I think you could try now. What say!........Entertainment!

A new Skill - Flat search!

Need to search for an apartment to shift into. Yes, yet again!

Now for long, this has not remained uncommon. Every year i.e., every 11 months to be specific, I am out in the city searching for a 2BHK. Ofcourse, the mode for this search has changed over the years since i was a student. Roaming on the streets and greeting people along the way asking for rental properties and looking up for the ' To-Let ' boards are slowly giving way to the Online searches from the comforts of your seat on the Internet. The ways of this search have also changed according to the city. Metros and Tier 1 cities now need money to get you to the apartment that could possibly be adopted by you for the tenure. Then there is the Registered Rent Agreement requirement and the necessity of the Broker to achieve this almost impossible output from the rusted Governmental machinery. Society Maintenance charges are currently almost 10% of the monthly rentals but could be anything based on the amenities or location of the society in the city area. The Interest free security amount could be 3 to 5 times the monthly rentals.

Tier 2 cities are still warming up to many of these associated costs slowly but surely wanting to go the same path. But God! don't i miss the explorations of the city streets towards the unknown....!
But then they say...Change is Good!

Yet another chance to find out again, I say!

The Unfortunate Part !! - Old habits die hard

Old thoughts it seem....but not yet out after all! 

I have not changed! This is what causes a fear up my spine every moment now. I thought may b this time the situation was desperate. May b this time I have no option but to instill in me the qualities and adopt an attitude that shows to the world that i m a rational person and I don't repeat the same mistakes. That i have become fed up of the situations that make me cry and mourn. But i am amazed at the pace at which I forget things. Even the things that r related to my survival.

But I am not happy! and until I change, I never will find happiness! But the most amazing thing is that i am still hopeful ! What an optimist u wud say !!
