Call of the Wild

Call of the Wild takes us through the story of a dog called Buck. The background is set is early period of 1903 by author Jack London during the gold rush period. I came to know about this book through a TED talk Dr Anu Vaidyanathan .  
It takes through the journey of Buck having good time as a tamed dog with a Judge's family to the being sold off by servant to the gold rush parties.... had to toil through extreme conditions of survival and good instinct to survive the ordeal... learning many things on the way and finally realizing his true potential and living up to it.

Do all of us realize our true potential?
Is it always has to be an life turning event to prompt us to think harder?

I feel like I am sitting in a cocoon...and not ready to come out unless someone breaks the cocoon itself. There is so much more which can be achieved but I am putting on too many breaks on self. Money is driving everything.... damn.. or may be my own self... Need to BUCK UP.

I would recommend this book to all who find themselves in slumber ( unless they realize they are ;) ) !!

Cycling to Harohalli !

One of the adventurous and tough trip. Cycling with a bunch of enthusiasts can be quite challenging. After a long time pain feels good :) . Amazing group of cyclist with incredible energy...way far off better than me... who was left panting... puff puff... and pulling down from bike at every uphill towards the later half.

Thanks to Imran for bringing this event to my notice. Fatigued, skin burns but there is a feeling of satisfaction which is sweet . I don't know if it is me only but I feel most would be like me when they are enjoying the activity they are doing even though it is tough .
