Miscellany

Hi again!

I don't think anyone is reading (just yet) so I guess it's still just me talking to myself at this point. A few things...

I need to be more disciplined and routine-ish across the board. Case and point: it's been nearly five months since my first post to this blog. Ridiculous! I need to learn to view my own personal writing not as a work-ish task, but as a relaxing and fun escape.

Random topic I've been contemplating recently: The tension between living a life of amazing and enriching experiences and a life full of impact and concrete accomplishment. I think the goal ought to be to strike a meaningful balance - they're clearly not mutually exclusive.. so maybe there isn't a tension?

I was recently in India! What a fascinating, thought-provoking, romantic, and kind country. Opportunities in India are seemingly endless. What makes India the most special place in the world is that it is, at once, so many things - indeed, everything at once. It may be the only country in the world to constitute a microcosm of the human condition. In one country, you have cold winters, sultry summers, abject poverty, unabashed wealth, Western multinationals, millennia-old traditions, and people, faiths, and languages from all corners of the world.

By the way, this blog isn't called "Seer of Truth" for self-important reasons. It's actually what my name means in a Hindu and Indian context. :-)

A couple of final and, well, miscellaneous notes: San Francisco is such a beautiful city! It has an impeccable "resume" - perhaps better than any city in the world. I worry that I haven't done enough to enjoy it.

And I love U2, especially their less-appreciated songs. :-)
