Way... ward and Journey series

In transit

As the people come and go

So do the thoughts

Headed some where

But can land anywhere a times

Else most  of the times a safe landing is assured

The body in in transit’ but the mind could be static

Or vice versa

This journey indeed

Has many dimensions

A new place

A new view and new landscape

With new voices and words

Yet the theme of meeting and parting

Of meeting again

Discussing the different and same things continues

There is a new hue yet everytime

You step in this place

Which is then no more new

On Paris

A  quiet vibrancy

That underlies the

Silent activities

A life brimming with life

Seems same

Yet so different

The warmth

With a different hue and sophistication

The newness of the place continues to charm

The traveler  or one and all

Way

Which is this way

Which I don’t know

That I  am on

As the thoughts take form of words

And later some insights

Capturing the multiple essences floating

All around 

Our Journey

The journey

Of exploring questions and answers

Is a long one at times

Short one depending on the

Nature of the questions posed to you or by you

Nevertheless the wheels are in motion

Moving fast at times

At times inching ahead

With a dreary slow pace

Yet covering an important ground

Even if you are not aware of it

The journey despite all variations

Still continues

So much for Team Anna !!

The Team Anna sojourn !!
So what is happening with the state of corruption in India or the corrupt State ? It is a simple yet difficult questions . Millions throng on the streets to express their solidarity. But will the Machiavellian moves suppress the honest and sincere attempts to shake a giant monster that has only flourished since years and years of " thought and mind enslavement "


Chennai snippet
One of the work related trips took me to the southern city of Chennai and what a change when dinner was served in the hotel on the roof top in a typical Dhaba kind of a setting !! More than the food it was the ambience which was delightful – with the live music , the lights and the general enthusiasm in the environment.

BTW – It is Hotel Pride at Kilapuk !!


State of Mumbai
The state of roads in Mumbai certainly calls for a certain amount of radical thinking and some fast work . Day by day the state of roads does not become the commercial capital status which the city has .The rains only add to the woes of the commuters . Of course there is metro rail work going on and there is general digging which has made Mumbai land surface similar to that of the Moon – if we may say so . But when will these craters pave the way for smooth roads . All other major cities – Hyderabad , Delhi have moved ahead with their wide and spanking new roads ,airports and general infrastructure !!
