Something something

Without equality, liberty would produce the supremacy of the few over the many. Equality without liberty would kill individual initiative. Without fraternity, liberty and equality could not become a natural course of things..

1. I miss writing..i miss seeing my name in print.. however many articles i may have written ..but each time it bore my name, I had a feeling of satisfaction. Ofcourse i don't point at the series of silly stories i had to do..but those were part of the job.. if doing those stories was the price I had to pay to be doing my kind of stories then so be it..and anyway beginners are not choosers.. so i did what came my way..trying to subtly filter out the frivolous stuff my own way. 

2. Today I read about a few summer programmes which i am interested in..but more than that i am keen to work. There is simply so much to do (professionally) once the wedding is over that I am already getting excited about the prospects.

3. After college today .. my car hit the pavement.. little noise but no damage was done. On my left I saw a rickshaw topple and down came 2/3 girls. I pulled over to help them out but my mind kept racing whether it was my fault. Whether it was my car that hit them. For a while i thought it was and i was shocked..but later the girls and other told me that it wasn't. My friend also later raced her brains and said that it couldn't have been our car. The rickshaw puller and the girls agreed. Anyhow, without wasting a second we rushed the girl and the rickshaw puller to Hindurao Hospital...a government hospital in Malkaganj.. in complete disarray. Notwithstanding all that I was happy that they (the docs and the interns and the nurses) did their job fine. We stayed at the hospital for a long time..the girl got a fracture in wrist and the rickshaw puller complained of chest pain. I think the rickshaw guy would be fine soon. Lots of things happened thereafter the details of which are immaterial..including FIR and police ppl and tonnes of crying. Sometimes incidents or should i say accidents like these make you realise how important each moment is .. and how very important each individual is. The girl is going to have her surgery / operation of wrist tomorrow. Poor girl is a 2nd year grad student from Nepal. Though me and my friend kept our cool and acted at real adults at the time..but the thought of what could have happened has been haunting me all evening. Wish her a speedy recovery.

4. I wish i knew where i was heading and that goes for all the ducks in my life..

5. :) K.I.S.S formula needed
