I donno where shes leaving or where shes gonna go!

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose,Terminal Kolkata isn't a great place to be at 5 in the morning.I simply wondered if all the people in the queues are here for boarding a flight or maybe their loo is dysfunctional!

Just as the FIFO was getting implemented I happen to pass a bookstall.Grabbed a Alice in Wonderland.While browsing the pages happen to read the following para -

'Would you tell me please,which way I ought to go from here?'

'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to, said the Cat.

'I dont much care where -,' said Alice.

'That it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

'-so long as I get somewhere,'Alice added as an explanation.

'Oh,you're sure to do that,'said the Cat,'if you walk long enough.'

Nice way to start the day!Well Hi friends... haven't been around for quite some time.Was between jobs,relations and cities.Thankfully have rested now and settling for peace on all three fronts.I am found in Kolkata these days in a place called Rajarhat where the human population still matches that of Australian coastal cities.I have a job thankfully and yes Im single...on the wrong side of twenty five !Dont really mean to retrospect though.

Alice would probably be categorized as a aimless wanderer by many,which eventually is true.However what catches attention is the attitude of Alice.She doesnt really care about the goal.If Lewis Caroll is difficult to digest then even Einstein once mentioned that "I do not think about the future ,it comes soon enough!"

I am describing a bunch of people who act on their instincts rather than those who think beyond time and space coordinates.The later are the ones who prioritize their actions based on events which are yet to happen.Well even neural networks are based on algorithms which takes decisions based on past events and none works on future anticipated events!

I have this liking towards people like Alice who are rare.Most are the ones who I classify as 'visionaries' (pun intended).However I am lucky not to be surrounded by the later type people.They either stay away from me or categorically reject people like Alice and me! We need more Cats which is actually responsible for bringing out the Alice in ourselves.

Friends ......twas a long time after which I m posting.This was a casual piece jotted down by a tired soul.Promise to come back soon with my 'Manohar Kahaaniyaan' before Christmas.Well, gave up on painting..the canvas doesn't seem to like me anymore !Miles to go.

Cheers,

Avique
