Well, i happen to think a lot these days during my bike rides from office to home and vice versa..a lot of intense thinking infact! I enjoy it because thats the only time i devote to myself and my thoughts. The journey takes about half an hour one way ..so essentially its about an hour of intense thinking per day..one hour just for myself..I came up with so many different analogies, different solutions , different approaches i should take that i am really surprised(rather elated) !!
For example, i came up with this co-relation between life and road the other day..life is essentially a one-way with no end. When you are on the road for the first time, you falter. But with experience , you grow to overcome your fear. Vehicles are your opportunities to reach your destination faster and not everyone is blessed with a vehicle(could call it as the 'luck' factor in life). Vehicles are not the only way to reach your destination. There are other things like gas for your vehicle, energy within you to ride, time factor etc. All these things can be related to hardwork, determination and doing the right things at the right time in life. The people on the road are friends,peers, well-wishers you meet in your journey. You may get along well with them or might end up having a brawl(as is the case while driving on the road). When more than one person shares the same goal as yours, thats when a traffic jam is created. Ultimately the smartest one gets his way across. Potholes and speedbreakers are the pitfalls and troubles in your life. With experience, you learn to handle these gracefully. well..i could go on and on..
Talk about an idle mind on the road :-)
hahaha.. nice one..
