Rain

Today had a nice walk in the rain with one of my friends. As we were walking along the Kamladi area, stopped for a darshan in the temple. I really liked the temple. Had been around the area a number of times, never stopping for a look. Today, I stopped there for a while. I voiced my appreciation for the temple architecture. My friend also agreed. He is a talkative kind of person. Tells me about how a guy thinks about life. Years younger then me, but maturer it seems. Should be like a younger brother, but sometimes it seems he is like an elder bro. Today we were discussing about how we keep harping about the negatives around us, forgetting the beauty of the moment. One another friend declared, he said, "I was born in a poor country, I want to do something to better it". He was angry at the problems that our country was suffering from. At first, I was stunned by his strong views. But then gentleness is considered a feminine character. Guys are meant to be aggressive and competitive. Am I wandering again? What is missing is not lack of ideas, but coherent approach that will create order out of chaos.
I like interacting with intelligent people. Even though it mostly degenerates into ragging kind of shouting match, but somehow still manage to find some interesting nuggets of knowledge. For ex. Yesterday, we got talking about curly hair..they told me that Mongolian people tend to have straighter hair and darker skinned people especially African people have curly.. interesting..
