I am back to blogging again after a gap of an embarrassingly long time. What had I been doing in the interim? Just watching life go by without trying to pull the reins of self-control. My natural state of being is of a nondoer, observer. I am naturally inclined to just let circumstances of life carry me around and I am happy simply to be carried along, observing, arriving at philosophical insights but never actually trying to steer the course of flow. That's what I am naturally good at and that's exactly what I have been doing.
I got married on February 23, 2012. In the midst of all the ups and downs of a normal married life, I managed to read some books, take up more work as a transcriptionist, visit a few places, and also, of all things, become a father. Vedayan was born on June 17, 2014. Ranga passed away on July 7, 2013. I missed him dearly for months after his death. He's more a memory now, but I still do miss his presence.
Quit gym as usual, but this time I quit after continuing for 1 whole year, something I had never done before. Then joined again after a gap of 6 months. Again, something I had never done before. Started running recently. I have done it just two times in the last week or so, and only for 10-minute stretches, but this is also something I haven't done in years. I have been more conscious of what I eat and been trying to eat healthy. Things are changing. I am not going to sit back and observe life go by like I have done for most of my life. That's not what I am meant to do. I have the potential for greatness. I have to shed these layers of conditioning, both bodily and mental, that have been weighing me down, forcing me to be a mere observer.
I want to be a doer. I am a doer. Now.
