"An unexamined life is not worth living" - Socrates. 

Living life in the fast lane can prove to be disastrous at times. If you were to recall the last time you slept for 10 hours at a stretch, read your favourite author on a single weekend or simply sat by the sea side listening to your favourite music, you would be shocked at how long it has been. Have we surrendered ourselves before the relentless materialistic pursuit which has re-defined the meaning of life ? Have we forgotten about the joys derived out of performing simple activities like swimming or whatever we love doing ? Have we forgotten that the true essence of life lies in exploring our natural surroundings ?

Most importantly, have we become ignorant and stopped reflecting on our lives ? A lot of people are heard saying blogging is a wonderful platform to reflect and  introspect, but i wonder if that wasnt supposed to come naturally ?

When i look around me, i find myself covered beneath layers and layers of  'darkness' : and whenever i wish to return to my original self, it takes a huge effort as if i have to pull myself away from the distractions of the layers. In hindsight, its really hard to tell when this process of psychological reformation started and what all factors apart from the society were actively responsible for transforming me into the 'idiot' i have now become. But whats worse is that since i am now aware of this 'virtual world', it is a stuggle to break free from the various mental perceptions and prejudices that exist in my brain, as a consequence of the psychological reformation. I have to keep reminding myself that my struggle is on, i have to gradually break free. I have to realise the true essence of life.

This blog is a brief snapshot of my quest to be original and to do things which allow me to have a sound sleep at night.
