Introspection in retrospective
So sitting here one day, thoughts come to my mind. I am bored. Do not have much at home. I realize I never stayed at one place for more than 2 years. you do not have much. you are using things for a while and leave. The inanimate objects stare and laugh at you, you leave, we will be here. Its not very profound. Just the usual I call Deepak Chopra kind of thoughts. :)
So I leave the house after I get a call from friends. Now suddenly another world. Got to open a company. I am wasting my skills. So drive to Maneswar, on the way to Jaipur, about 20 kms from Gurgaon. On one side, huge economic zone, 3 lane highways, very well planned city. Should we look for plots or buildings here. Three guys with too much enthusiasm and not much else.
So suddenly we thought, where are all the guys who work here come from. The other side is supposed to be residential zone. There is not a single house or an apartment. So we decide to investigate. Go to a real estate dealer. He says sirji, all the low class people come from villages, all the others drive from Delhi and Gurgaon. We look at these villages, not much to look at just the typical village where you do not see too much changes.
Just like I leave in two different worlds, India has two different sides to it.

I thought you were in Durham for more than 2 years. I liked the title of the blog introspection in retrospective, very deep. keep writing.
Not in one place, changed my apartment or house every 1-2 years. I am supposed to be citizen of the world, no borders, blah blah blah right?. So became a man with no permanent roots.
You almost sounded like Jay leno's version of "Angelina Jolie". Anyway, there is no such thing as permanent, which reminds me that my yahoo email has been hacked, so i've lost everything for the past 8 years i had. so, resend me ur info if possible to...maybe my gmail or thru sms.
