Life ... Expanded Extended Exploded ....

A long time ago ... a child would be born and would live through the entire lifetime in a single place (village or city) before perishing at the humble old age
 
Now ... You are born in a place, your parents might have to travel due to their jobs and they take you places ...
You go to school in different cities and sometimes different countries too
 
You want to study 'higher' and get an admission into a professional school in a different city / state ...
You want to study still higher and get an admission into a different city , satate and sometimes country tooo ...
 
You take up a job and they send you around from one city to another on assignments and then from one country to another ... till you retire and decide to rest in one place :)
 
and your child meets a similarly complex fate fo travel acrosss the globe ...
 
All this while ... you go around ... making friends and losing them ... losing track of old relationships adn forming new ones ...
a transient life with no sign of permenancy except the phrase 'change is the only constant'
What is it that we want and what si it that we are running after ?
 
Sometimes ... sitting on a sofa or while staring at the star-less city sky ... i wonder ...
 
is this LIFE ????
well ... no answer yet !

Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
