Ideating with my new Wind Chimes

I was thrilled to find an email from CFS this morning in response to my Quest for Taro- Dragon ka Beta.. not that I found what I was looking for ..not yet..but the prompt reply was encouraging enough.

Then I thought of idea ting a little more on this vicious circle call life. The biggest problem with figuring out this circle is that you are not aware where the starting point is or was and where is it going to end that is if it's going to end. Pretty much done and dusted with this monotonous living , it was time to start living all over again. So many things to do, so many places to see, so many people to meet and yet people get "bored" I always wonder where did this word originate from, apparently its origin was as boring as the word itself and its origin was - Unknown.

Then I got thinking about the circle again its like figuring out whats wrong with our city. What needs to improve first the
  • "poor" police-ing(don't we require professionals here who are paid enough not to ask other people for money)
  • civic sense in the citizens (also comprises of civic authorities(when will people stop spitting on the roads and use dust bins(( but are there enough dust bins))
  • the not so Important- VIP culture( I dont understand why do these people require security and why can's they stand in queue's((then I realise there are no queue's generally)) ),
  • politics ( ironic isn't is these days even politicians say that they are not here to play politics , what are they there for then)
  • nosey media
Then I got thinking what could be the reason, why do people not have passion for anything else other than cricket and cinema.

They are passionate about speeding on the roads ! why don't they participate in Car Rallies, why aren't there enough car rallies.
They are aggressive and ready to blow punches ! why can't they take it up as a sport and try their luck with boxing and wrestling and prove how good they are there.
