Reminded me of this song playing in Conan’s car a long time ago…
life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around once in a while.. you might miss it.

BymsanjayLong ago I’d made this photo titled “swatantra jeevi’ in Kannada, which roughly translates to “free individual/spirit” (Just for fun, not really considering myself so absolutely free!! ) Check out this pose of our son (photo taken by my wife)! 8) Hope this picture brings you a lot of smiles!

FW: the monkey with the wooden apples
BymsanjayA forwarded mail from Venki (Today’s Kagga)… There once was a happy monkey wandering the jungle, eating delicious fruit when hungry, and resting when tired. One day he came upon a house, where he saw a bowl of the most beautiful apples. He took one in each hand and ran back into the forest. He…
take a work break!
BymsanjayThis is a pretty good program – thanks to Conan who sent me a link. It reminds us to take breaks during computer usage. It really helps to avoid the almost invisible physical strain that we are inadvertently causing to ourselves. The animated excercises are pretty cool! I tried this software today and at first…

yet another birthday
Bymsanjay[this was written at different points in time but is backdated just for the record] My birthday is usually quiet and unnoticed, and as I’d written earlier, am still not sure of any optimal approach to this day 😉 The words of a gentleman who has gotten to be one of my most intimate friends…
From an email:
Dhanuggaha Sutta ( the archer ):
Staying at Savatthi. “Monks, suppose there were four strong archers — well-trained, practiced, & drilled — standing in the four directions, and a man were to come along saying, ‘I will catch & bring down the arrows let fly by these four strong archers — well-trained, practiced, & drilled — before they have fallen to the ground.’ What do you think? Would that be enough to call him a swift man, endowed with the foremost speed?”
“Even if he were to catch & bring down the arrows let fly by one archer — well-trained, practiced, & drilled — before they fell to the ground, lord, that would be enough to call him a swift man, endowed with the foremost speed, to say nothing of four such archers.”
“Faster than the speed of that man, monks, is the speed of the sun & moon. Faster than the speed of that man, faster than the speed of the sun & moon, is the speed of the devas who rush ahead of the sun & moon. Faster than the speed of that man, faster than the speed of the sun & moon, faster than the speed of the devas who rush ahead of the sun & moon, the force of one’s life span comes to an end. Thus you should train yourselves: ‘We will live heedfully.’ That’s how you should train yourselves.”
the concept and picturisation is too good. hats off to the brain behind it. thanks for the clip. i feel the way we look at the world can determine how long we will be in it. it’s so important to accept this time, this very minute, as something of tremendous value that will very soon be gone forever. there are many ways to ensure that we make the best of our time here on earth.
