Kindle basic, still rocks my world

I am a kindle fan for 2.5 years now.

On reading books, I used androids, iPods and recently a ipad mini (which I thought will make kindle redundant)
But, there are somethings that do not change.

I love to flip pages and smell the papery aroma of print books.
I love the electronic ink technology of kindle basic, that is almost like reading a paper back. It never hurt my eyes, unlike the bright glare rich screens of smart devices (including kindle fire).

And kindle basic lets me focus on the book, only on the book, with its simple rudimentary design.
Hence, kindle basic, still rocks.

Weekend

Weekend - the period from Friday evening through Sunday evening, esp. regarded as a time for leisure (from Dictionary)

Does weekend matter?
Do we really have weekend?
Why do we wait until the weekend for the fun? Does that mean the weekdays are not fun?

What is fun, anyway?
Staying away from traffic? no deadlines looming? no body disturbing you?

It's been revealing to me, that people do not like Sundays.

They feel that they are edging closer to Monday, the worst day of week. So the best day for most is Saturday. And oh, some people work half day, on saturdays.
So we have a very limited time frame sandwiched between some where on Saturday and somewhere on Sunday. And that upcoming deadline next week, constantly nagging at the mind on Saturday too. So, we dont really have a week end. Wow.

I've been thinking. Week end, week days - all these notions do not matter. We have 7 days in a week, and 52 weeks in a year. That's lot of time. So instead of cornering life to week days and week ends, might as well look at them as weeks. eg: "I will do this stuff this week, and that stuff next week". And the "stuff" should make us happy. Otherwise no point, eh?

Experience

People I talk to, including me, are very busy. So many things are "happening".

Been busy is good, but if they are not reflected upon, they become mere "happenings". Life can be unforgiving if you only have "happenings"

"Experience" is an overrated word. Experience is not a substitute for happenings.

We get experience when we analyse and reflect our happenings. Or else we are overwhelmed. 

To get experience, we need to reflect, on both bad and good. And we need to write them down. Then you will see some patterns. Find your own balance. I found these 4 habits useful.

If you are going through hell...

Last few weeks have been great, exciting and demanding. Great new things are forming at Fusion front. 

Aslo I had few chances of getting close to best of friends from Uni days. 

Thing is, we might not have kept constant contact with each of us, but when we do, it all comes back. The great memories, the creative energy that we shared. 

And then comes the hell. A sickness out of no where sweeps the whole energy building inside. You want to get up and kick some grass, but then again conserving energy and moving consciously becomes the art of balancing the energy, for the long run, for the end game.

So yeah, if you are going through hell...keep going.
