Ceasefire

This weekend, I saw two fine movies – The Motorcycle Diaries (TMD) and Sideways. Perhaps Sideways affected me more than TMD did, while the latter is a powerful movie, nonetheless.

I have decided to take a self-imposed break from blogging, atleast till the Bangalore marathon (when I should post details of my run), even after which I should be on a break from blogging, atleast at the frequency I do it.

By the way, Virginia Madsen as Maya in Sideways is now the latest addition to my “crush on fictional character” list.

Sideways prompted a reflection on my own life – one of the outcomes being the realization that my energy is currently best spent elsewhere. This is something that I have experienced a few times in life, some sort of self realization that I need to be doing something I am not doing currently or spending enough time on and also that I shouldn’t spending as much time (as I am spending) on something. I picked up running in the same way in college, when I decided that I would rather be running than playing football as I seemed to be getting better at running and wasn’t enjoying football every time I played it. And I still love football (although my involvement is limited to watching it). And I have enjoyed running everytime I do it. So I guess I am out discovering something that will give me a high everytime.

I guess this is something that happens to all of us – atleast once in life.

Abientot.
