Month: April 2009

I was dozing in my lounge, when my maid’s call brought me to an awakening state. It unusually, was not only a physical wake up but also a  mental resurrection. Recently , I am prone to  light refreshments like getting a short nap ,then and there , as often as possible,since there is nothing compulsive to keep my physic and mind active, I am slowly stepping into old age ,a little prematurely .

The renaissance of today ,is that I gave a mild thought to the happenings of the daily chores ,both domestic and external. The slight interference took a chronic level in my analytical pursuit.My mind got over the languishing  strain  by cooperating with my heart’s application.

The putting off attitude in us, the sustaining aspect of procrastination in us, and the slowing down of quick assumptions , paralyse our work culture.

Taking up the case of domestic passage, I wanted to give a face lift to my house and garden , by adding certain infrastructure that were not available ,when the house was built. As every normal human, I made a series of inquiries as to the product availability. I gathered every detail and compiled my survey  in a file, neatly indexed and tagged. I left  gap, of a year, I do not know for what, but now I conclude. it is purely due to lethargy . After a year, I set myself on the task, the materials I wanted , have disappeared from the market and there was a fresh bunch of new products , of which I am an illiterate., in the sense I am not aware of its usage.

Coming to the external assumptions, the Indian lethargy is explicitly revealed in its policies. Take for instance , the construction of roads, the Golden quadilateral ,which is being on for nearly five years. The project is going in snail’s space. Before it reaches Midway, the initial work loses its credibility. The originating road , which was in exact condition  few months back ,has  developed  bumps and potholes, and falls into the category of  bad roads. The half way traverse is rendered unfit for travel. The purpose gets defeated. A three hour flight from hence, we find excellent roads in Malaysia , which I feel is the best in whole of Asia.Why this default?

Before we think of expanding certain infrastructure, the proposition becomes obsolete, and outdated. The slow decision in us makes us a drawling , feeble, demure mortals.

We miss the bus , not once or twice but always. We reconcile ourselves , saying that destiny wants it that way , so it happened thus. A concillatory domain is an antithesis to prosperous enlargement.
