The start of a journey

Had been contemplating whether to start a blog for quite some time...
Had created this accoun months back, but apart from the usual laziness, there was a lack of incentive that prevented a initiation to this entity.

Two things have jolted me out of inaction
1: A book called "Zanek!" by William Stevenson. This book showcases the Israeli Air Force and the life of its pilots during the 1967-72 period.... It talks about the life of the pilots, the hardships they faced, etc(more on this tomm.) In it the author has talked about a IAF pilot called Jakob, who has this habit of denoting the days of his life by the alphabets whenever they turned out to be life-altering.. (eg, th day he was sent to the concentration camps, his release, his graduation etc)

2: The second was something as ordinary as a glass of Cold-coffee..the best though, mind you.
There is this place a stone's throw from my house in Pune, called Durga. U get amazing Cold coffee for 8 bucks. Had "ek cold" before boarding the bus to bbay... That 'cold' made me realise the fleeting nature of the moments in our life.... since (hopefully) in a few months it wud be geographically impossible for me to have a cold @ Durga.

These two things imparted just the right amount of impetus to get me rolling wrt the blog part.... May look like pretty insignificant things.... but considering the fact that I had beeen restless for the last couple of weeks, it was a simple 1+ 1 = 2

Will sign off with a quote that I composed 2 days back in a fit of inspiration and 'delta' frustraion about the current motionless state of life.....

"There are only two things in the world that are yours the instant you claim them to be:
  1. Ur Limitations &
  2. Ur Freedom"

Signin off...

nice start :)
well, abt your quote : freedom comes when you deny / throw away the limitations u r facing. one "assumes" his freedom "by" throwing away the limitations. so in a sense, the two things u mention in the quote, are a repetition - thats what i thought.
