Busy Busy Week

Its Thursday night. Cant believe how the week got almost over. Especially this one was extremely busy , exhausting but a little different. I drove almost 200 miles in 4 days of the week so far. Thats a lot considering it was a working week, not a vacation week :-) and i live a meagre 4 miles from work. Tuesday morning I had to drive to SF for my passport renewal , yesterday for a doc appt, today for a guitar lesson. Now i dont want to drive anymore. There was a time when i used to consider anything under 20 miles as near, no big deal category. Now 20 miles is too much :-). Maybe i am trying to do too many things in too less of a time. These days when i am on the road, i want to drive fast and get to my destination in the least possible time. Earlier i used to drive enjoying and not worrying too much about getting there soon. Maybe all i need is a break from it so that i can start enjoying it again...Or maybe i am falling into that spell, where everyone is always in a hurry, always obsessed with something going on in the mind, always trying to get something done, never leaving the mind blank and pure to enjoy the present, always running a marathon towards the future but the present slipping out of the hands every second. Too philosophical huh? Well test yourself against this statement, are you in this category or close, if you are you got to do something before the spell grips you sternly.

Very nice blog.
Especially I liked this part
"always obsessed with something going on in the mind, always trying to get something done, never leaving the mind blank and pure to enjoy the present, always running a marathon towards the future but the present slipping out of the hands every second."

Very true. Being in hurry can easily become an habit. Very soon, it will make us to do everything without enjoying it. I guess you are getting used to run through things. Try to put a brake on things and take it easy.

Is this the Doppler Effect ;-)
