The Pursuit of Happyness
I saw the DVD yesterday and I began to wonder that does the pursuit ever end?! The moment we have what we wanted we either start craving for something else or we sabotage what we already have. As a child the pursuit is to grow up to get on with life without being told to do things, then it's the pursuit of the elusive job, it's pursuit of love and the journey never ends. At times in life when we feel the journey has ended the rug is pulled from under our feet and we are back at square one.
In this constant pursuit it's our friends and in some lucky cases our family that provides us the support and strength to carry on. With friends things are usually easy because there aren't any strings attached but at times in the early days when the friendship is blossoming our ego or the other person's indecisiveness may force us to pull our guard up. No one want to be seen as a the lonely pathetic person with whom someone would hang out of pity or sympathy. I guess at time our pride, prejudices and complex circumstances tend to mess up some really beautiful relationship and more so in my case with all my craziness overdose!!
I have never been someone who has a huge friend circle. I have very few friends whom I am blessed to have and it's their love and support that make the pursuit easier. I know this is all mumbo jumbo but I have something at the back of my mind which I don't want to blog about. I guess having written this post has helped in some way to get it out of my system.

Hi WD. I hope you are well. My friend Marc, an American, has a nephew who is travelling your country at the moment. He wrote a letter to Marc which he has published on his blog. The post is called "A Balcony in Jaipur". I thought you may find it interesting to see India through the eyes of a foreigner.
Take care, Denys.
