achilles last stand.
Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown
The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground
Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd
To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds
To guide us from the curving path, That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet.
-excerpts from achilles last stand (led zeppelin)
another day, another week, well lived. well played.
i wonder if there's a god up there looking down on this game of life and saying "hey dhruv, that was a good shot".
if there was a god of cricket, I wonder which 'action' he would look upon and remark...
"that was well left".....

Dhruv -
Cranked up the Pod last weekend and played the entire "Presence" album(as we used to call them); ALS is best track from this one and they're all good. Powerful, forceful, driving rock as only LZ could do. Best played extremely loud; my head is still humming and it won't go, in case you don't know.......hope all is well.

Hey Dhruvli
thanks for giving me enough food-for-thought for a banquet, as usual...
You have touched a nerve with the 'real world' vs 'comfort blanket' discussion, as well as the 'satisfaction' vs 'impact' dilemma (or at least perceived dilemma...)
This comes at quite a confusing time for me, realising how much pressure i have put on myself - for valid reasons, i am giving up a hell of a lot - to make sure i have the kind of experience here that i was looking for. And at the same time i am reading the Fountainhead.
Oof, the mind boggles...
