In The Here And Again. Friday, February 09, 2007. Some Thoughts On the Real World By One Who Glimpsed It and Fled. Kenyon College Commencement Speech May 20, 1990. Wait, didn't I graduate already? How old AM I? Then I wake up. So, what's it like in the real world? Well, the food is better, but beyond that, I don't recommend it. Boy, was I smug. The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.". On those terms, I found the offer easy to refuse. Unfortunately, the syndicate also found my refusal easy t...

In The Here And Again: November 2008

In The Here And Again. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Good Night, and Good Luck. Frustration, anxiety, hopelessness are all a state of mind and rather depressing ones at that. Issac Newton said, rather foolishly I feel, that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I am pretty sure he wasn't eating some bad fruit or peeing down the barrel of a gun when he said that. Maybe his mid was influenced by the bloody effect of gravity. Wasn't he also the one who said whatever goes up must come down? Yes, a p...

In The Here And Again. Monday, October 01, 2007. We were all sitting around the roaring fireplace, the achingly familiar hillside, the soft gushing of the coastal breeze, and the sound of the sea.To say that it was all too familiar is an understatement. I was home. A Little Early on. Then we got off, and me and tayo set up the barbecue, aah.the freshly skewered chicken, lamb, and the stuffed surmayi! You will soon see.You are about to wake up. The best sleep of all my time on Boston was ruined when I wok...

In The Here And Again. Friday, September 19, 2008. Good Will Hunting. Indeed. This completely blew my head off. I am never going to watch it again, i dont need to (the partial inspiration for this post). This needs to be out there. A part of a dialogue between Robin Williams and Matt Damon;. And you wouldn't know about real loss, because that only occurs when you lose something you love more than yourself, and you've never dared to love anything that much.". Posted by Abhinav at 2:55 AM.

In The Here And Again. Friday, May 11, 2007. Pushing An Elephant Up The Stairs. How does one do it? Is there a way about it? Is there even a slim possibility that it is indeed probable? How on this good earth is someone suppossed to do it? The primary problem in pushing an elephant up the stairs is that we are looking at it as an elephant, and a gritty one at that. We need to look at the fact at how big the stairs are! I've paid my dues. I've done my sentence. But committed no crime. But I've come through.

In The Here And Again. Friday, February 22, 2008. This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind.let it be something good.". So naturally, why not home in the confines of his own privacy? Well, my dear friend, for two reasons,. Michael Schumache...

In The Here And Again. Tuesday, December 05, 2006. A New Day Will Dawn For Those Who Stand Long, And The Forests Will Echo With Laughter.". Probably the singularly most well-decided line of a song i will ever be blessed to hear. Probably the most simple yet complicated, probably the most troubled yet inane.It reeks of positivity, of optimism, and of the best known source of personal strength known to man - Hope. And what is the way they ought to be seen? Why is it so hard? There is not much that can be d...

In The Here And Again. Monday, July 17, 2006. There Is Brightness Everywhere. General wisdom says that today we live in a world of hatred and greed,. These - our gifts to kids tommorrow, they will also sow this very seed,. A touch of rationalism with a tinge of retrospect today we need,. We have people who yell, but their advice we not, as yet, heed. A little girl asks her mother only to be met with a ferocious frown,. Ma, above us we see the sky blue, why is it for the past few days brown? We have a wea...

In The Here And Again. Sunday, June 25, 2006. In Search Of That Elusive Tipping Point. Tough times bring out the best in some people, and well, the not so good in some others, and the entirely unanticipated in most others. Johnny, you have again put out your studies till later, it's barely two days to the exam and we are still on square 1. You aiming for a record of the maximum number of consecutive attempts at a single grade? His sweet but now frustrated mother asked him. This was a normal conversation ...

In The Here And Again. Friday, June 29, 2007. Bizarre English Metaphors And Similes. 1 Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master. 2 His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free. 4 She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef. 5 She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up. 11 From the att...
