why are there issues in we ourselves accepting what we are?…..
…. why don’t we ever take into account the effects our actions have on the lives of people surrounding us? …. because of what we are …
other than feeling sorry for what had happen we never feel the guilt or own up to our actions indirectly/directly effecting people around us. all these effects, that i am talking about are invariably the negative ones.
happiness is only real, when shared. - Christopher McCandless
i think, ….. share joy with all, share sorrow with only those who really will take the burden off our shoulders
….. be willing to listen and take the burden that people think should be known to us …… making sure its not used as an advantage or disadvantage.
moving on in life ….. time tinkers around with life ….. passions take/change shape … passions in battle for their slice of time, outgrowing each other to reserve time for themselves ……. each passing moment catalyzing/inhibiting growth
set ambitions ….. work and sometimes hard work with some external factors ….. ambitions are reached …. not on … the path set …. ignoring passions … contradicting ….. unaware of the impact .. us .. around us … self centered … focussed ….
introspection … the path that was/will be taken seem to be in mild/sharp contrast to life’s path. with introspection ….. collisions occur.
….. right or wrong ………. two choices .. options which head in different directions, sometimes on path ….. uncertainty is only perceived, introspection becomes reality ….. decisions are easy to make, consequence and actions abound.
if its not understandable please dont mind it, just some random words, thoughts. no explanation or reasons behind it. without this randomness i felt the blog was missing some thing.
putting the disappointment of not being able to see Stykkish and Olafsvik behind, i inquired about getting the spiked winter weather tires before heading out of the city. as expected the rental service asked us to come over and get the new tire sets, when in the office instead of changing the tires we were given a brand new car itself with the spiked tires. happy with what had come, we headed on the same route out of the city, but this time we were taking a right ( a left turn headed north). this time the road trip was towards the Icelandic south shores, known for their black sand and white frothing violent waves. Selfoss, Selijalandfoss, Skogafoss, Vik were the list of places on the way.

sticking to the usual pattern of waking up sometime close to 10:30, we booked ourselves a car for 2 days. day one would take us to the Borgarnes - Stykkish - olafsvik, a distance of 300 odd kms. after some confirmations of the road conditions, weather and the state of the car tires (it was not winter weather tires, but all weather tires) at 11:30 i started the car, and we were off. one of my wishes to drive in Iceland was no more a dream, keeping to the speed limit we were zooming past mountains and ocean views.
a sunny day, with just the enough amount of clouds to give the sky a good texture. a road laid between the sea to one side and rugged mountainous terrain on the other side. a road, with just some spots of ice and snow on it. within 30 mins we were out of the suburbs, accompanied by the howling wind blowing from the mountains. upfront the road was vanishing into the mountain, and then the tunnel signs came up. we were going through a 6 km tunnel from one mountain range to the other range from below the sea. After taking the wrong lane and some confusion, we paid for the journey through the tunnel and were half way to Borgarnes. driving around the corners of the mountains, we approached the small town of Borgarnes. with the mountains behind me, i had a beautiful view of the town with a pinkish orange cloud cover and a crystallizing sea. after a small rest to take some photos, we stopped next to the super market got some snacks for breakfast and were off from there to Stykkish.
