At first it is like the seed, waiting to grow, to learn more, and never forget what is learnt. That is when the child learns to walk, talk and do all the other basic stuff. The world would be a fun'ner' place to live in if it were the other way wouldn't it? Man and baby learning to walk at the same time??
Then the kid gets bigger and so does the mind. It starts knowing. There's a difference knowledge from learning and jus..downright knowing. It knows how the way of the world is. But yet keeps the innocence intact. The child enters his teens.
The mind is at its prime. It hasn't yet lost its ability to remember stuff, either e=mc2 or the pretty-girl-at-the-coffee-place's number. It is a whirlwind of thoughts, each striving to be prominent. Direction plays an important role here.
Funny how the mind decides against something, but spends a whole lot of time contemplating it. Funny how the mind which cannot be sothed by silence is soothed by the reverberating guitar chords.
Funny how the mind gets angry at the ones it loves and instantly forgives them because the thought that it loves them so much not to allow hate to barge in, strikes it.
Funny how the mind finds that last drop of honey on the thumb tastier than the whole bottle.
Funny how the mind suddenly feels like bringing up memories which it thought were long lost, just to dwell in them for that extra minute it never got.
Funny how the mind which has just seen transformers and found that an exhilarating experience also studies z transforms and convolutions and finds that interesting too.
Funny how the mind feels like blogging when it has an internal to face tomorrow.....
Funnier how it plans to listen to blackfield after closing this window.
Funny how the mind which is said to be idle is nothing but that.
Funny how the mind works.

????????????????????????????
what i meant was what if man forgot to walk as he forgets to go to an appointment etc etc....whenever he forgets he has to learn to walk again...crazy thought i agree!!
very funny, actually. thats why some old fella said 'manam oru kurangu' - one never knows what a monkey is upto you know! ;-)
btw, when you write a book, you've got the perfect title - 'The Mental Me' - super! :-)
Erm..i dont exactly find it funny...I find it intriguing..Isn't it beautiful, the way our mind works ? The mood swings, temperaments, emotions, that it controls, both trivial and vital, the sequential set of changes, that it undergoes or rather the changes, that it induces, in a person, at different stages in life - Awe-inspiring !
I digress. Somebody told this thing (not exactly, the same thing. I listened to the Tamil version of it. This is a crude translation) to me, a couple of months back and i found it impressive "People say leading a good life, means 'controlling' your mind, regulating it and reining it, so that it doesn't wander loose. I would say, let your mind free, let it wander, let it tread into territories, that it hasn't set its foot, into, before, only then will the mind's circumference broaden"
There you go, another blather from my end !

@priya again

good post sharan...
one thing i find funny about them ind is that it always wanders from one subject to another... as in.. when i am hungry, i think of my lunch... and then i think of my mom's food back in cbe.. and then i think of cbe days.. and then of friends..and then of certain funny incidents.. and then of somethin else... so it starts with my rumbling stomach here in chennai and ends up in the memories of climbing trees with supriya in the school campus back in cbe.. :) :)
