Once upon a time....

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

- 'Fire and Ice' by Robert Frost

WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—

No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

I want to go set myself free in Europe for a bit to experience the life-style and culture there! I want to see how every single European goes on a vacation for three months of summer, and how the shops close down for siesta everywhere in Italy!

Ever had a unique idea that could potentially help you become an entrepreneur? Ever been happy to see that there weren't really any patents directly imposing upon your idea? Worked diligently at figuring out how your idea could be turned to reality, and been content that it seems feasible? Done all this and come to the realization that it
is going to need some help from elite people to become successful? Yes, that is a very frustrating BOTTLENECK because I have no higher up contacts whatsoever and because I have a job that takes away most of my time.

P.S. Don't laugh at me. Peace.

So many thoughts. Such little motivation to write. What's on my mind right now? This is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7496725.stm ... makes me somewhat uncomfortable... Stupid countries that want to continue selling arms under the pretext of self-defense! Jerks?

Among other things, Narendra Modi is still being denied visas to visit US on charges that he has violated human rights by not taking any action during Gujarat's hindu-muslim riots. Super controversial topic. I was in the area when the riots happened after Godhra accident. I only know what I heard, read and saw on TV and I am in no position to pass any judgments. I hate to see or hear about genocides - it makes me bitter at everyone!
