These are my notes and impressions about people, lives, traditions, moods, situations, me - biased by strong subjectivity. Monday, December 8, 2008.

These are my notes and impressions about people, lives, traditions, moods, situations, me - biased by strong subjectivity. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Watching into the eyes of that young murderer, I think I realised something that might sounds provoking. Please do not take me wrong, that is not my intention! The greatest among us, like Krishna, Zarathustra, Lao Ce, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, did not (want to?

Faces, lives...: February 2008

These are my notes and impressions about people, lives, traditions, moods, situations, me - biased by strong subjectivity. Monday, February 11, 2008. Slums, slums, slums. Wherever I go there are slums everywhere. Shocking? I was wondering around this camp for quite a while in the past weeks, but somehow I never had the a courage to enter. How would they greet me? Like a stupid foreigner who comes here to enjoy their poverty? A younger guy speaks some English. Should I say yes? They start to talk in Marat...

These are my notes and impressions about people, lives, traditions, moods, situations, me - biased by strong subjectivity. Tuesday, January 8, 2008. A Whole New World. Simply shocking. I will work for the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism in the following few years. They sent a fancy jeep for me to the airport. Now we are on way back to the Institute, through the city. City.

These are my notes and impressions about people, lives, traditions, moods, situations, me - biased by strong subjectivity. Saturday, August 16, 2008. These thoughts are inspired by discussions in this blog. I suggest you to go there and read those chilling thoughts by yourself, but, in brief the main conclusion is that it is the journey what counts, not the final destination. Is it really so?
