Hello again. So I've been dormant, and surprise, nobody probably noticed. But I'm somebody who hankers after approval and attention from others, so I was gratified to learn that I've gotten visitors from Egypt, among other countries. Yes, you are being watched by Big B. Just kidding.

I got married in the ensuing hiatus, and its a nice change, believe me. The wedding was the fun part, and it was good to have lots of loved ones around you for the big occasion.

We went honeymooning to God's own country(that's Kerala, a state in Southern India) and were awed by the lush greens in Thekkady and Munnar, and the houseboat experience at Alappuzha was wonderful, though we did have a little tiff with the mosquitos there. Kerala is a very hospitable place, though its really too full of coconut oil for my liking.

And while I was off, I find that the stock exchange's index continued its northward movement without me riding its coattails, and as usual I'm caught between fear and greed on whether to jump in now, when prices are already heated up to the sky.

Leads me to think, what is this pursuit of money for? Why do we lead our lives absorbed in petty things, which are shown up to be so only when confronted by the really important things. Beats me. I mean, I think I know all the answers, but it doesn't help, and I continue to be petty(or at least doing the petty act).

I shall continue some other day before I dump my entire philosophy on this blog.
Cheerio!
