Of Travel & Trains!

I love trains. Especially that feeling you get when you are in between places. I think that feeling comes with one constantly on the move. 

I am sitting at the window of the train and just letting it sink in. The detachment from the world, the feeling of a constant flux. Of being every where and of being no where. The eerie calm. I cannot express that into words but i am sure everyone experiences it when they travel. 

A lonely star, actually a planet is visible through my window while I try to slumber. I  would like to think its Venus. I wish i had a camera which could capture the beauty of it all. My eyes do. Its there most of the times, bright & fiery looking at me but sometimes it hides in the clouds making me get up to search for it. 

There was a friend of mine who was going away; and cheesy as it was we made a pact. Its one of the perks of being kids; one doesn't have to feel ashamed of all the cheesiness & corniness of things one does. I told her to always look at Venus whenever we think of each other. Because it will be there, always. This reminds me of that. But what's ironical is I fail remember which friend it was. 

Life is so like Life sometimes. 

So It Goes

So It Goes.

A very famous statement made by an author and has been so popular that it has been tattooed on and on a hundred times.

I do not know why I want to start my blog with this; but I do.

This blog will be about all things mundane; thoughts, quotes, books, reflections, make-up, current affairs, food, travel etc. To sum it all up, it will be intellectual Gibberish. Lets call it just gibberish.

I will try jotting things once a week but seeing how new I am to blogging I might falter afew. I am still not used to typing directly on the computer, I somehow have a frame of mind which says you don’t write on a computer you write in a journal. Call me old-school but that’s who I am.

Just some info on ‘So it Goes’ – Well, this 3 three letter statement occurs 106 times in the novel ‘Slaughterhouse-Five’ by Kurt Vonnegut. The story continually employs the refrain "So it goes." when death, dying, and mortality occur, as a narrative transition to another subject and to explain the unexplained.

So it Goes I feel is a mockery on Life. One can never explain it. It is sad, it is beautiful, it is beautifully sad & is sadly beautiful as well. Lets leave the heavy topics for later but I think ‘So it Goes’ stands in the same place as ‘This too shall pass’.

Anyways, Time to wrap up my ramblings as very aromatic mutton curry calling.

Ciao.
