Let me wish a very happy holi, first and foremost to my dear friend Madhusudhan who reminded me of holi, and of my birthday very early in the morning (my time) today! With all the other stuffs going on around (i.e., trip plans, vaccination and all), I had forgotten about the Faalgu Purnima and my birthday (according to tithee). Last year, I think I wrote on my birthday about not being able to accomplish much even after the existence of 27 years - a third of my life-span (very generous when I consider average Nepali life expectancy!). Well, not much has changed this year, except that I have now spent 28 years of my existence, and a little over a third of my life-span!
Looking at the half-full glass, however, I think I shouldn’t be too displeased about my 28 years well-spent, especially given that I have somehow managed to get what I have desired. I have always been content with what I have and what I have received - probably the reason for complacency, lack of enthusiasm and desire, and mostly the lack of will to compete! “Taking life as it comes” have somehow become my undeclared motto, and more often than not I let things to happen, rather than trying to make things happen! Letting things happen has worked for me all these years, so why should I change? Its all about incentives when I think wearing an economist’s hat, and if things are happening without much effort, why put more!?!
