Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" — Hunter S. Thompson

la fiamma dentro
It is about the fire which has been ignited.
About power which leads me, about the knowledge which sets me free,
The radiance which guides the way, the force which keeps me warm, alive.
It is about the darkness around which is being conquered by the light within.
It is la fiamma dentro…the flame within !

Hey Wanderer !
Out of the several thousand years of human existence on this planet, human beings went around a large portion of it as nomads, wandering from place to place in search of food, water and shelter. Man had begun to live in perfect harmony with nature. Survival was tough but that taught him how to fight, adapt and change. Drifting clouds, twinkling stars, morning fog, the blue sky, the deep sea and everything in between belonged to him and everything fitted into his space and he called it his home!
After which started a multifarious process called civilization. To call it a beginning or an end is still debatable. This course of civilization did settle down human beings to certain extend. But then old habits die hard and bad habits die even harder. Ten thousand years of civilization did leave a mark and changed lot many things. But don’t you think it is too short a time period to quit a habit flawlessly practiced and adapted in so many years? I guess that explains the reason why I have developed this unrelenting, unremitting, unstoppable fondness for this word - Wanderer. It’s just a thought, my assumption !

Burn, Burn, Burn...
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars, and in the middle, you see the blue center-light pop, and everybody goes ahh...
