the calvin hobbes shirt guy :)
Ah well.. life's been good :)
SO much to do.. so much to learn.. so many people to meet.. so much to understand..tht it looks like I hv spent 23 years of my life just contemplating..
AOL course was amazing.. It answered so many of my questions..I am so glad I went..:)
Went there this Sunday too! Just the thrill of going there.. sitting around in Satsang.. helping the Ashram mates in the kitchen.. sitting in silence under a tree..the ambience.. the people..everything is so beautiful..
no loud music.. no traffic.. no people calling endlessly on the phone.. no flashy clothes.. no show off..no rush.. just absolute peace..
Ye know.. I got to spend so much time by myself when I was there.. So many answers, so many ideas.. just fall in place - when we sit by ourselves and meditate :)
Watched 'Rang De Basanti' on 26th Jan! I liked it! Kinda nice.. :). Thanks to Nitin for cleverly procuring the tickets and taking me along...It was good fun!
hehe.. Before the movie.. we were generally hanging out in Crosswords..(thts like my all time favourite place to be doing just abt anything!).. and I noticed this chap who was wearing one Calvin-Hobbes Tshirt!!! Good Lords!! Did you hear that!!!?? A Calvin Hobbes shirt!! I was so excited to see it! I hv been looking for one for so long now.. but no luck..
After gaping at him for sometime.. I realised that he sure is some God-sent angel,, and I should ask him where he got the shirt from!
So here he was seriously reading Douglas Adams..and I pinged him and asked the million dollar question!
He was sweet.. Told me he had gotten it from Brigade road.. and when I insisted tht he must tell me the exact shop, for some strange reason his friend burst out laughing! duh!!
He turned around to look at his friend.. who tried to control his laughter.. btu was unable to do so! So this calvin hobbes shirt guy also joined him.. I was like - what the heck is goin on!!?
But the entire situation was such.. tht even I started laughing.. and we all had a good time for atleast 5 min..! :)
It was a funny situation.. and tht chap was so cute! :)
Finally he told me the shop and all and I thanked him, for all the entertainment and the information!
As I turned around to go.. to my freakin surprise, (call it horrible surprise!) he uttered - "sheri sheri..oru prasnavum illa" (which is malyalam!!) Bloody! All this while he was talking in English.. and he didnt obviously believe in leaving a good impression, which is why he HAD to crap in mal! I was like - duhh!!! :D
Sigh! Whats come to this world!! :)

"Moreover, Watterson battled constantly against the many things that he felt cheapened his comic. He refused to merchandise his creation on the grounds that pasting Calvin and Hobbes images on commercially-sold coffee mugs, stickers and t-shirts would devalue the characters and their personalities. This also explains his refusal to allow the strip to become an animated series. Watterson fought this uphill battle against the pressure from publishers with success, until and beyond the end of his career."
so dont go around wearing cnh t-shirts...
lol!! That mallu boy was an idiot! He pointed me to a non-existent shop!! And I think he was laughing at that 'about-to-happen' googly!! :D
So long!
But what you say is correct! :)
But don't get too taken up by one particular sect/cult of thought.
Life is yours. Lead it your way. And nothing else should matter.
