Interim Solutions

At  some point most of us realize that we have been going round and round for most parts of life ,  but hey does that mean the experiences, the journey and the dizziness , does not count ? Have I posted this before ? Has this blog started doing circles too ?

My books My library ( really, it is just a bookshelf, some day it would be bigger, greater I wish) is a funny sort of place. It is probably the only place where Feynman is placed right next to Paramahansa Yogananda and maintains perfect peace and harmony. There is absolutely no friction - physical, metaphysical or ideological. The dust that gathers on my books thanks to the slew of construction around, gathers evenly in a egalitarian fashion.
