Dreams & Responsibility
I am reading an excellent book called 'Kafka on the Shore' and a line that really has stayed with me is 'In dreams begin responsibility'. The line is so profound and at the same time so simple. One of the characters is explaining about why people stop dreaming - to dream would be to start being accountable for your own actions and that is a scary thought for most people and so they give up on their dreams. The book itself is a marvelous masterpiece - no praise can be high enough. I am about 100 pages out from finishing the book but the journey so far has been great - unexpected, twisted, shocking, hopeful, entertaining - all without sacrificing readability.I finally managed to fire off my documentation and stuff to apply for my Overseas Citizenship of India, since I am a NZ citizen now and my Indian passport doesn't hold any good. The way I see it - it is just more paperwork and more bureaucracy and more money out of one's pocket to give you the same rights that you had before (infact a little less). I hope the whole thing goes off without a hitch - my last dealing with the Indian High commission here a couple of years back was really painful and I was swearing at the Indian bureaucracy.
The physio sessions have been good and I am recovering slowly from my pulled hamstring - it will take another 4 weeks to come completely right but the strengthening exercises will start from next week. The tennis lessons that I am taking will be interesting since I have told them I can't run, which means I will be the black sheep in the classes. I guess it is better than skipping them altogether. I might start swimming from next week to start getting my body into better physical condition.
So yeah thats the lot from me for now.
Till later,
Amit
