...therefore I am

Nowadays I exit from the mundane realities of day to day life and experience the thrill of existence by reading and writing.The inexplicable pleasures of reading without any predetermined purpose have come back after decades with the the same intensity that I experienced during my school days in the 1960s when everyday I ran about 3kms to and fro crossing the vast expanse of the Madaippara for returning the book I read the previous day and to collect a new one from the Kasturba Smaraka Grandhalyam at Vengara(Kannur).I remember those good old days not with a sense of terrible loss but an unbearable pain arising from the thought how much eager and innocent was I in those days.Life has familiarised me with all the evil tricks of this world;I have lost enthusiasm in almost all the happenings in contemporay politics and learnt to be insensitive to many a social issues.To a great extent I am disinterested even in my personal wellbeing.My mind is at presnt a rocky vastness in more than one sense.But I yearn to get this vastness filled in a heavy downpour of emotions and urges so far totally unfamiliar to me.Hence the name Rock Pond for this blog.Of course I can't forget the red wattled lapwings whom I used to see nearby the rock ponds of Madaippara.They were the most fascinating organic delights of my childhood.That is why I made them perch on the address bar.
