days are surely flying or i am in a special zone ;-)

Haven't made a post for 2 months now !!!!
Coming to think about it, I was a trifle busy these days. There are a lot of things occupying my mind and I am certainly not getting leisure time. At work front, things are looking good. NR has been too kind to me and work items have been motoring along well. Work hours have been a hell but that's ok. One can not get everything at the same time :-)

I am now focusing on Zen and I must credit Osho for this. Some time back I was very confused. I had become certain that there can't be an entity like a God that humans have envisaged and that i have praying to all my life. But I also did not want to become nihilistic, completely ignoring everything around me and living like a thinking automaton. I don't want to entertain negative thoughts but if I reject everything about a supreme power then there won't be any lofty goals to aspire to. This life is too evil, too churlish to believe in. Then I read an article by Osho in which he made almost similar arguments and exhorted his followers to try out Zen, a philosophy which does not force any god down your throat. And I obtained D T Suzuki's book on Zen almost by serendipity. I loved its initial chapters and I tried some of the things that he had outlined. And seriously I loved them. I am still very ignorant about zazen but what ever I have learnt about it, it is certainly something I would like to master.
