Journeys

Mid-journey I saw a nice transport method


Traveling with big windows has a way of bringing out thoughts.

Maybe its so easy because the senses are actually encountering rapidly changing environments so our brain is able to flow in response.

Then that all gets killed when they turn on the TV. And leave it on all night? What is with nice buses and this trend - Mexico 

Here is a stream of unedited notes jotted down from a 22 hour bus from Bangalore to Pune. 
  1. Do an article on what questions you are asked in india: What is your qualification?
  2. Business card
  3. Banana structure – look up
  4. Flying, honing delivery of eyeglass nosepieces and Uncle Matt's trip
  5. Minimalism blog: I (alif, beginning of minimalism) - Thinking about it
  1. Battle of the mind – self vs body
  2. Samadhi – send to bonnie
  3. Its planting season in the farms I drive by, when will I experience a plow?
  4. I have met 10^-4 % of the coolest people in Indiia
  5. Mind wanders when traveling, easy no imagination needed – reality and imagination how we coceptualize these is huge to perceiving the world and aspirations and design
  6. Why did I have to go to college to realize its ok to imagine and conceptualize, conceive and theorize?
  7. I don't want to 'own' a part of the world - much rather a world where I can explore freely and contribute freely, to be a caretaker
  8. d-sector.org – posting cool things in india on seperate blog
  9. efficiency vs effectiveness
  10. No planning – the town planning office in Osmanabad – asked if I could take his picture
  11. 'Let's just be friends' – ind consultant that is in it for things besides the money, money is the intermediary not the aim
  12. Bus driver drives like I biked in Cambridge, oscilating across the middle
    1. 'Are you kidding me,, officer - I wasn't even in a lane!”
  13. My contribution – bateries toxic, plastic, bananas
  14. Chip bags don't break down? Check
  15. drive-by tourists should be shot – ek photo ek photo, pic on phones
  16. munnasir and india's mobile porn clips
  17. Take the little things into account – telephone wire vs cricket ball
  18. What is best shoes to wear for playing cricket on rocks?
  19. Youth like cricket – what can make that experience better?
  20. How do we free our mind?
  21. Commitment – auto – you are wrong – if you commit it doesnt matter if they dont follow through – cutting people off in conversation is a sign that they are serious, its not physical nor threats, just not listening and over talking you.
  22. Money – I can't stand it when money has meaning on its own apart from anything – that is the definition of corruption or greed.
  23. Calling people idhar aou, tumko bhula raha hai, vs the nod in the US - which Aditya found cold and insincere
  24. Pushing against a wall – sleeping on a cantilever to produce energy – storing objects to produce energy – the strain in the wall is energy produced – gravity always pushes down – use a force that can push up – heat or wind and you can oscillate something – walls should produce thermal energy in general
  25. Bags fall apart in one place and then disposed entirely – DIY for how to reinforce cheap bags where they are likely to fail – structural analysis analytical
  26. Observation and particiipation – why limited to observing where we are foreigners and participating when we are known?
  27. Dragnofly sex explosion at the safarjung museum
  28. Freedom is the search of all – is jesus and the cross being the center really a misnomer and its actually freedom manifested by the cross that people find as a cornerstorne, while theologians use it to rationalize christianity?
  29. Wo-man, words and mixtures are different in that words add to words to build, a mixture in science, in contrast, is composed of parts. Conceptually key. So
  30. Too many new thoughts – no time to think through them all – so inefficient – school limits your new thoughts by filling your time with other people's thoughts and tests and group projects – you have no time to think of new thoughts so you are really busy with the others' thoughts.

Pet-shepherd – not a pet-sitter, a pet shepherd – use various backyards in a few neighborhoods – could even do it with farm animals. Play music. Rest.
