Just as the
whole town is talking about google’s new logo, I am taken back to my thoughts
on search engines and how much they have made life easier, exiting and global, yet
we have not done away from our search for the best inner search engine.
No, the self-help
- self-discovery books don’t help, the millions of apps on our smart phones on
personality tests don’t help, the funny and quirky tests on facebook relating
us to every celebrity , every historical character, every cartoon character under the sky doesn’t
really help. When I see these results I want to shout loud- No...Naan Ava(l)n
Ilai…
For, I am
the most talkative person on earth for a minute and suddenly the silent,
sensitive, snub. I too blow hot and cold like the all of you out there. I want to be awarded the most workaholic
person and suddenly yearn for a vacation. My mind cannot sleep with the million
thoughts when my body fights for sleep, from exhaustion.
Am I a day
dreamer or a night thinker?
Do I want
adventure or peace?
Should I go
for a meditative sleep or power yoga?
Do I want to
rest at the deep roots or climb the top branch?
Should I keep
the day job or pursue that passionate hobby?
Should I hone
my strengths or fight my fears?
And should I
be a successful person or be a peacemaker,
healer, restorer, storyteller and lover of all kinds? Yeah, the same old David
Orr or Dalai Lama dilemma.
Sorry search engines and research engineers,
for I sing a song only I can hear.
