Saw
a parrot in flight today. It kind of looked like a swift while flying, a very
pretty green swift. magnificent

"We are, each of us,
a product of the stories we tell ourselves" - Derren
Brown, Happy
I came across this book by chance. Bought
it on a whim and started it in the middle of another one(The Pilgrimage by
Coelho. I need more conviction to finish it though). And I have been so
surprised. Its a wonderful read. More wisdom than I could handle at one go. So
what happens it that I read a passage, marvel it for a while and
then realize that I have to re-read it. And marvel it some more. It
is a pleasure.

I also turn 34 today. Thats a big number.
And with age, I am surprised to find myself turning more and more
"right-wing" and agreeing with people like Jordan Peterson. I am also
scared that the world(at least the first / western world and by the virtue of
being blind followers - the educated class of my own humble third world
country) is inching towards becoming utterly useless.
-----------
Another bit of wisdom that I garnered is
that I have to be more patient. And by Gods grace, my kids have an incredible
ability to teach me patience.

Never expected Derren Brown to write about happiness. I associate him with amazing YouTube videos about hypnosis and exposing psychics ! May be I should pick that book up.
and yes, Happy Birthday !
