Back to writing… along with teh-tarik.

Chai along Mumbai

There are habits that are hard to stop. In my last post, I have decided to stop continuing writing in this blog but back again writing. Just hard to stop especially when readership keep increasing.

Like my habit of drinking ‘teh-tarik’, how to stop unless it stops your heart. How to stop working, drawing, talking.. you cannot. Let’s move on then.

So, what is new?

Last week in Bangalore was chilly cold. Though rushing from one airport to another, the pleasant cool air never really try to knock you down. India today are all work, work and more work. Building developments are everywhere. One of the biggest is the 25,000 acres township development called Lavasa near Pune. The list of happenings in India needs more than just writing in this page. Too much to tell. Come and see yourself.

I was asked, “How you cope with all the running?” Running needs two strong legs. One leg is called “Passion” and the other is “Hardship”. These two legs will take you far and away. One young man told me that he has nothing in his mind besides just wanted to get rich. Rich. I also want to become rich. The poor man has no intention of paying the contractor RM 1000 for the drain he dug. The very, very rich woman also not willing to pay the same contractor the RM 1000 he asked. Good job done, but both the poor and the rich are not paying. The poor man, maybe, he could not afford. The rich woman, drives a BMW, not only can afford to pay, she can also buy anything she wanted, also not paying. “Expensive” she said. This world seems like still expensive to both the poor and rich. It is going to be forever. Therefore, hardship and passion must marry and they will take you far. I still want to be rich with passion and hardship.
