Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Friday, April 24, 2009. On Instinct, Rationality and Rationalizing. This short post (by my standards! Reflects on the fine art of instinct, applauds Malcolm Gladwell, and generally goes on without much purpose in its short existence. By now, I've learned to accept that my general thought process can be alarmingly disturbing. Actually, this is just a liftoff of something that was supposed. Here goes. My two pence, in the form of two points:-. The 'heart' at play. But, th...

http://dimensionsofjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2009/04/this-one-comes-from-folder-my-writeups.html
Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Monday, April 20, 2009. This one comes from the folder 'My Writeups and Ppts' on my laptop. Should have been here a long time ago. Then again, a lot of things should have been at a lot of places. But are they really there? Oh, and of course, sloth and wrath are amongst the seven cardinal sins. Here we go, alea alea alea (Yeah, cool song Martin, has stayed with me since I was 16). Oh, and btw, am particularly proud of the level of thought that has gone into this writeup....

Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Thursday, December 30, 2010. Caption might remind some of the Alfred, Lord Tennyson poem by a similar name. One of the most quoted stanzas from the poem was also one of the many highlights for my year that was. This stanza is:-. I hold it true, whate'er befall;. I feel it when I sorrow most;. Tis better to have loved and lost. Than never to have loved at all. I also must confess that this division idea is hardly my own. I am inspired by a similar (but a lot shorter! The yea...

http://dimensionsofjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Tuesday, June 08, 2010. On 'Superhumans', and Humanity. Posting a comment that I put up on a friends' blog post sometime back. He has started his own venture post his MBA from MDI. It's called 'Discover Life', and is engaged in motivational workshops for young adults (to put it rather crudely). The original post can be found here:-. Http:/ getdiscoverlife.blogspot.com/2010/05/race-for-superhumans.html#comments. And now, for the post:-. An analogy from the book that comes to...

Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Saturday, December 18, 2010. A Mid-Winter Night Musing. Am last night, I shut down my laptop after going through a few photos and stuff from my Exchange Program in Paris and the rest of Europe from last year. Some thoughts came to me, and I started putting them down on my cell phone. I started out writing for myself, and ended up forwarding the following text as a long sms to my family and some of my closest friends:-. Of all of that? What was the purpose of all of that?

Pleasure, Pain & Providence: November 2006
http://dimensionsofjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Friday, November 24, 2006. This attempt at poetry counts as a special one for me. Picked up my pen at 2am and the rest of the work was done by it in 20 mins flat. Helped me to vent out a certain inexplicable emotion from inside me. So, without more background, go ahead, read it, and like it or not, ur feedback will be appreciated! With You, Forever. Before I was even born, I was with you. In your gentle eyes, with your tender touch. You gave me life then. Nay, not very long.

Pleasure, Pain & Providence: May 2010
http://dimensionsofjoiedevivre.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Pleasure, Pain and Providence. Friday, May 14, 2010. A Short Write-Up that I had written on Convocation. I am overwhelmed with emotion as I look at what we have achieved and what we are capable of accomplishing in the glorious future that awaits us all. However, twenty years down the line, as I look back, I shall all have a wistful smile on my lips that shall gently reminisce "Them were the days. Them were the Halcyon Days.".
