 All I did today was the bare minimum to push some major work off to Monday. Still got one major portion completed and that, at least, was okay. 

Had to review a few things today and I realise that there is a disconnect somewhere. The disconnect is deeper than people not knowing what to do or not understanding what needs to be done. I think people don't see anymore. They don't see to observe and understand. They see only to focus on display, not emergence. And it is not work pressure or lack of time alone. With all the time and all the resources, some gap in professional understanding will remain because intellectually, some synapse is not firing together. I think we are all just tackling scattered minds and juicy pain-points.

Managed to go to the gym today. Not exceptional workout but some order in life is important. It is my friend's daughters birthday today so I wished her Happy Birthday! Had sent her a doll house and a science kit. Science is a juicy, exceptionally beautiful discipline. In fact, the respect and affection it has for the observable world is quite spectacular. My friends daughter is really intelligent. She's only 11 but has demonstrated the mind to grasp and incorporate First Principles thinking so soundly. I think all children have that but she is really sharp. No sparkly nailpolish and stuff for her. She is too talented for that. But I did want her to make a world of her own with the doll house. With the science kit, maybe she makes her own energy pipeline and makes it a self-sustaining unit.

Or she's a child. I wish her deep joy and play. 

I was thinking of ordering a few other things but now am not so sure. There are a lot of books to go through. But heck, it's tempting.

Well, a work day has officially ended. Will roll around for a bit, have a bath, and plan the weekdays. Or watch Vijay Mallaya's interview. He's back apparently. 

As the Chinese curse goes, "May you live in interesting times."
