One year and 21 days

Please check out my post on April 1, 2005 post about sitting on the back staricase of HT house with suman da and yojana discussing what's wrong with our country. I wrote about how i'm a young journalist with so much passion in me to 'change things'. I wondered in my post how long it would take me to lose that passion and get embroiled in the mundane details of everyday life.

Well, it took one year and 21 days. 386 days.

why

why can't we all have x-ray vision that sees through manipulative, spineless, nincompoops.
Some of us really need that x-ray vision. For their own good and for the good of those around them. For those who trust them and believe in them.
I'm sick of the axis of evil.
good luck.
