Recently I was scanning around my Alexa playlist for music by Ennio Morricone, the same person who created the music for "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". I chanced upon this magnificent track from an Italian movie "Malena", featuring an equally beautiful Monica Bellucci.
But is that the case when we grow up?
It's about the childhood crush of a young boy on a much older lady. And like most crushes, this one is about the kid's short term tribulations associated with it.
I''m sure every one of us had similar crushes in our school days, and maybe a bit later too. At that point in time, it would be the most serious thing that happened to us, but within days or weeks, all that is forgotten and life's back to normal. Much of what happened in those years was like that.
But is that the case when we grow up?
I was going back to my own posts from more than ten years back. Back then it used to be travelogues, movie reviews, photography, long drives and so on.
But my last few posts have been on not so fun topics, which makes me ask this question,
"Why so serious?"
I guess everyone goes through phases of life when different things take priority. I just wonder, how things will turn out ten years from here on.

To be honest, I didn't have anything of purpose to post lately. But then, I remembered a story that goes somewhat like this.
By Hindu mythology, it is believed that the rains are caused by Lord Shiva's beating of his special drums. And for some reason, He got angry with the people on the earth that He decided that there would be no rains for a long time.
The people, who came to know went to Goddess Parvati asking for help, who understood that something had to be done so that the people don't suffer. She told a nice story to convince the Lord that one needed to constantly practice what they do, in order that they don't forget doing it altogether.
And just to be in practice, the Lord plays his drums and in the process brings rains.
I didn't have anything much to write, which makes this a pointless post actually.
But did it just to keep in touch and not forget writing altogether. And now that you've reached this far, take some time away to "Return To Innocence"
