noun
1. strong and barely controllable emotion.

Have you ever heard how your voice sounds coming through the amplifiers of passion?

There is a distinct resonance that it has, an almost unbreakable quality which transcends reason. And there in lies the problem.

Passion is all consuming. It strains the reins of reason, which is all that channels it to fulfil its destiny.

Passion clouds Reason.

To make one heard the other has to be masked.

Passion disregards the need for reason to channel itself. While reason heeds not the wild notions of passion.

Ignorant are they both … They do not realise that it is not in their individuality that they should revel, but in their duality.

Within each is hidden a secret desire to be what the other is and within each is the power to obliterate the other.

Find Equilibrium and there lies the key

Talking about what i am thinking or feeling is extremely difficult for me. I believe i am a good listener. I can sit and listen to others for hours in fact i encourage others to talk to me. I love it when somebody can talk to me about whats on their mind, I love it when somebody argues with me about whats on their mind, the insight and passion and the perspective that each person brings to situations which are probably an everyday occurrence fascinates me. But when it come to me doing it …. i always hesitate :)

As a result i am a hesitant blogger. I find it difficult to write about things which are private and considering my temperament pretty much everything is private ;)

Here is where i make an attempt to try and come out of my shell.

But the basic idea for both the blogs remains the same – An attempt to understand :)

For ages and ages i have toyed with the idea of blogging and here it finally is!

sentient intelligence thats what i call myself wanted to call myself on the internet and i got asked recently – Why “Sentient”?

Well honestly it was because i am lazy and i picked up sentient because i was watching the Matrix and the Sentinels sort of took my fancy at the time.

But later i found out that Sentient means something which has the capacity for basic consciousness. And in retrospect that is what i am after.

Basic consciousness, an ability to understand why i do what i do and why i like it or not.

This blog here is an attempt at retrospectively trying to look at things around me and how i react to them.

And funnily enough this exact same thing was what was stopping me from blogging, the belief that i am taking things in without being judgemental, not that i don’t have an opinion, but a desire to understand anything before i classify it in my brain and scream out an opinion about it.

So blogging wasn’t an option because i don’t have a lot to say but more to ask. But then i think what better way to find answers than to ask others?

Now I just have to get over my laziness :)
