Fleeting Avatars

It's been so long since I last published a blog. When I started the blog, I remember how various ideas kept me awake long into the night. I was at Chennai at that time and life was buzzing and me young. It was a time when I romanticized everything and creative thoughts were abundant thanks to the classic movies and literature, which was life itself to me then.

I don't know when those perennial river of thoughts and emotions dried up. I have not admired anything recently, nor have I paid attention to anything around me or felt poetic in a long time now. Don't get me wrong, I 'm not sad nor is this a tragic blog. But seeing the previous titles of my blog awakened in me the tender and innocent past. Sure, life changes you, but wouldn't have believed that my young self couldn't have recognized the present me if the two would have met back then.

Now my thoughts are mostly occupied by personal finance and how soon can I attain financial independence, thoughts my younger self despised. Classical movies and literature have been replaced with faltu series to kill time and non-fiction books across the genres of finance, history and even self-help. How true it is that what you surround yourself with is what you become.

I can see multiple avatars of myself from the time I left Chennai to the present. A wanderlust while in USA, thanks to a great group of guys I found myself in the midst of. Spring of spirituality towards the end of my life in America, and now as an aspiring financially independent life. 

Every phase has been exciting, however they were all fleeting. I am wondering what all avatars are waiting in store for me. I hope to be in touch will all these avatars in a balanced and harmonious way.

Good to be back!
