Formula one after four years.....this year its a resolution....try to see the races...well yes a lot of drivers which I used to root for are not there...a thorough Mclaren fan...used to root for Hakkinen...then was the BMW Williams with the duo of Ralf and Montoya....all gone......but this race today!!! Boy was that great...from lap 1 to lap 55 all full of action....the best was number 2 and 3 crashing out in with three laps to go!! New team....1,2 finish...Barrichello on podium....(heard hes become the most experienced F1 driver..a good feat considering he spent the best prime of is career as a shadow to Schumi..neways good for him....good for me...I get the have the fun watching F1 AGAIN!!!

Today after a lot of time (2 months) I could get a chance to return home in a local train..and the feeling was so perfectly familiar and kinda made me feel good....Travelling in local trains makes you feel so much a part of Mumbai that no other thing can...the usual bustle to get in..standing for some time...then getting to sit on the fourth seat...then jumping in the third seat when you get a chance and then gaping when will you get the window....and then staring out of it...it all so perfectly falls in place and you realise thats there is such a strong connect to it....you actually miss it at times! The characters there..interesting family of four...the guy looked visibly poor..had a couple of kids, the youngest kid of about 5 had no footwear, looked in complete mess, the wifey looked as if shes not eaten for a year, and then this guys brings out his sparkling new Nokia and one by one all of them talk to someone in Village...one all you can do is sit and be amazed as how this city actually makes not just two but multiple twains meet so seamlessly!

Suddenly days seem to be flying past...the speed is dazzeling...I dont know if tomorrow I am going to be happy for the speed or be sad. But if the time has gone its gone. Not coming back. So why bother. Wish everyone can think that simple. Lessons leart are learnt. Mistakes made earlier are made. Cannot be changed. Go on...make new mistakes but never repeat old ones...said my boss...so true...

Sometimes when life pulls you in all directions and you are still stuck in the same place....sometimes when life questions everything about you and you question everything about life....sometimes when you are not one with self and the self is not just about yourself....sometimes these times donot seem to end and go on forever..sometimes it just flies by...these are times when you feel you have someone close to you...holding you...helping you...caring for you...and leaving an indelible mark on you...yet the comfort that you are there to stand by yourself satsfying...these times...
