the next

It was with some abandon that I hopped on a train bound for Strasbourg on Friday to go and sit for two days. Sit, really sit, Buddhist kind of sitting: Zazen. More exactly, in the world of such life philosophies that I refuse to call religion - even if religion is man’s attempt to organize [...]

Just for the record, my flight did get cancelled last night around midnight after all boarded and had waited 3 to 4 hours. I did not really pay attention to the timeline because I was too busy napping while waiting for boarding and after boarding. The airline, EasyJet, were surprisingly accommodating and the ground staff [...]

There is something like returning home about being in Munich again for more than just a few hours, or in transit at the Airport. I can not even remember when was the last time that I was here, but it was well over ten years.
After the DLD conference and before my flight is due to [...]

I am not really sure that this interests anybody, however I found it quite amusing to observe today how in less than 30 minutes I packed for two days in Munich while attending DLD and built in a whole lot of entertainment at airport security.

I need to lighten up around here! I am in such a serious and significant mood that even I am having trouble keeping my own company, and mind you, I do like my own company.

Today’s Aikido practice was rather special. We all met to clean the dojo; there was no practice. We lifted the [...]

What is it that they say? All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy? Indeed!
One luxury in my life is the Wednesday morning Aikido training with Barbara Sensei. If I can manage it, I am there on the tatami at 8:30 sharp. Sometimes it is just not doable, and I text her with [...]

Yes it is an art. It is a rare art to find people who still know what politics is, and it is an even rarer art to be able to be effective in politics. I just got back from a meeting of the school commission members of our party in the one part of town [...]

Yes, I am still anxiously waiting for ecto 3, but meanwhile 2.4.2 does improve blogging life. I stole a few minutes this morning and did the bit of testing it out after I initially run into a snag with the post title on blogger not posting. After you download the new release and install it [...]

It was a working weekend. I am very reflective these days and really charged up. It has been this way since I returned from London, and frankly I hardly recognize myself since then. Right now I am in the midst of projects that I truly like and it is as though my whole world was [...]

Completion is a wonderful thing. Yet, as far I am concerned, I postpone that one to no end, or so it seems. It is as though I often steer right clear of what gives me the most joy. Completion is a source of joy.
Earlier this week I went through one of my project boxes that [...]
