All right folks I finally saw a movie that is re-watchable: IRON MAN

It is worth getting myself to the theater once more just to watch all the cool “tech” stuff featured. Man!, would i like to get my hands on some of those.

I had a few friends with me. And all the un-awoken engineering spirit was kindled within their souls at the sight of those projected future machines. It is funny,  how what man has already achieved is always so trivial next to where his mind now soars. Sometimes I wonder if this “developed intellect” is not, after all, a curse.

The constant drive for something better is quite a thrill, I admit. But forget not my friends who quote Frost’s famous lines, “..And miles to go before I sleep“, when asked to slow down and breathe for a while
, this poem titled LEISURE by Wm. Henry Davies

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
