temporarily out of bangalore

Over 11,000 days of my life so far I’ve lived completely for myself and those related to me, and I’m pretty happy with that, since I’ve so far held the same opinion as the Sonejis:

Interestingly enough, the Sonejis don’t believe in doing service. “…we are not into social service. We believe that our own life is of importance and has to be lived without causing harm to anyone else’s. If, while living our life, we end up helping others, that’s fine. But that’s not the main purpose,” Smita says.

But for a change, only as an experiment, I’m going out to venture into the realms of living for someone else, to dedicate a few days for other people. This is probably the idea behind the institution of marriage. But I mean even other than people I know, or relevant to me… but people totally unrelated to me – complete strangers… 🙂

Since I have – and value – my current corporate job, this is not some sudden decision but has been on the cards for quite a while and is a planned one, only thing is that the final details clicked into place only recently. Will put up more details when I’m back towards the end of this month. The comments on this blog are currently moderated, so until I install a spam blocker kind of thing – which unfortunately I don’t have time for now, they won’t be showing up on the site till I return. But don’t let that stop you from commenting if you like!
