Kafka OnThe Shore - Haruki Murakami

Since there is no denouement, Only quotes:

I'll just think about now.

...the most important job is surviving from one day to the next.

"The pure present is an ungraspable advance of the past devouring the future. In truth, all sensation is already memory" - Henri Bergson, Matter and Memory [Mame mo memelay].

...every object's in flux. The earth, time, concepts, love, life, faith, juice, evil - they're all fluid and in transition. They don't stay in one form or in one place forever. The whole universe is like some big FedEx box.

Just live each day as it came.

This is pretty obvious, but until things happen, they haven't happened.

In a place where time isn't important, neither is memory.

Every one of us is losing something precious to us.

Still, no, wait, not still, I also committed a grave error of leaving out a person from my life history, despite saying in the same conversation, at a different point of time, words to the effect that a nurtured grievance tends to intensify negatively over time. I hope I have not slipped up too badly. Mahak pressed the red button when I called right now. With Mum, I knew in my heart she knew I was going to be serious about Mahak. Hence, at an opportunistic moment was exploited to full advantage, meaning no negativity whatsoever, and Mum accepted the news with good humor; I think her apprehensions are going to wait till December. Now, I have two things...

Money

By Pink Floyd Excellent song. The lyrics pertain to (most probably) the group's experience itself. As such, it is funny and humorous, poking fun at the system of media barons and "chart" economics.  I relate to it even more these days, when all I need is money. I am at peace, content, moksha-esque, even - but I do need money for subsistence. Which reminds me , how do I monetize my writings? Time to fire up the Vaio.
