Transient Thoughts

Tuesday, July 08, 2003

Our history prof. once quoted Shankaracharya about the nature of the human mind.I don't know if I am quoting right but anyways:

"The human mind is like a monkey."

He he. It would have given me great pleasure to stop just there and talk about other things. But as it happens there is more to the quote.

"The human mind is like a monkey. Not a normal monkey, but a mad monkey. Not just a mad monkey but a mad monkey which is drunk. Not just a mad, drunk, monkey but a mad, drunk, monkey which has been bitten by a dog."


There are some days at office, when things are going right for you. Everything happens as you predicted. Nothing takes time. You quickly finish things and move on. You feel proud of 'making the difference' and rejoice that you are in the right job. At the end of the day, when you wipe the sweat off the brow (figurative) and sit down to an hour of blogging, you feel the thrill of a day well spent.

Today was'nt one of such days. Came full circle. Back where I started. Square One. Banging head against a wall...

Never mind.
