Corners

Diversity is good. Diversity is bad. Who knows?
Convergence for sure is something which is based on divergence.....
Someone said once that India is a country of Ironies. Did not get this point that time.
Now having lived in 4 corners of India, I know what it was and how convergence is just something divergence gives birth to...
How people from different corners of a country react to life & its surprises...
How they live in a place which is not their area of comfort.
Northerners will think of themselves very highly. Being one of them I know how it goes around. Everything is discarded as of low value in front of their high-headed thinking (at times proud). Easterners often feel hurt at kind of ignorance others have for them. Having someone very close to me from that area, I know how these folks are some of the best when it comes to open-minded & open-heart souls. Southerners for very valid reasons think very highly of their culture. Educated but at times conservative in thinking. Nice folks who will give you harmless advice.
Westerners are some of the innocent at heart folks I have seen.

Coming to convergence which for sure drives its very existence from diversity of these 4 corners.
For very same reasons you have 1 shape which has 4 corners. Otherwise it would have been just 1 dot in place.

Free bird or Caged

Sitting on this comfortable cushioned chair provided by my employer I am struggling with umpteen tasks coming my way. Weather outside is awesome which brings back memories of college days when in same weather I used to hang out with my buddies at so called our hang-out over some drinks. But no time for dwelling into past memories today.
I pull the curtain up on window and get lost in the dark clouds hovering in the sky. See some birdies heading towards their nests. Wondering what kind of day they would have had. Must have thought about their food & children.
What I am doing is same here sitting in front of computer screen and making a living out in this so called intellectual world.
Who is the free bird here? One flying in sky or one sitting in this concrete building?
I know that I will forget all this after sometime when a new mail will pop-up in my screen with new issues and tasks.

Just wanted to have wings for sometime. Take a stroll in this dense cloud cover and feel attaining some kind of freedom which I know is very short-lived....

Here is the mail and I am sucked back again.....
