I just told Avi I blogged our Guru-Geek conversation ... am still IMing with him while I write this. He called me a Hunter ... always on the prowl for a blog post .....

avi : now look u turned into a hunter  
me : meaning?
avi : ever on the prowl 4 a blog post! 
me : lolol.  naaaaaaah sometimes I dont look for it, it just comes to me ... like this one ... spontaneous
avi : hmmm, nope not spontaneous
me: am going to blog that toooooooooooooooooooo ... you calling me a hunter
avi : it comes 4m awareness, see for all others things are just episodes which depending on expectations will make them happy or sad, a hunter, as a journalist, poet, photographer is always aware and knows tht the moment will give him/her the feed

avi: in fact Don Juan has said some nice quotes on being a hunter, Carlos Castaneda. for the hunter doesn't count on expectation that thing will come his/her way. The hunter knows if he's aware and the right moment will always feed him. So whn u r in the blog mode u'll see topics coming 2 u left right n centre, whn u r not topics dont come and the diff between the two is ur level of awareness 

avi: it is essentially this .. and u hv told it 2 me urself ... u had said "Don't judge Avi, just put it down. Once u start to think you can't put it up" thts a primary rule of the hunter ... the hunter doesnt operate out of expectation.  will give chase. if he gets his quarry well n good, if not, will focus on the next quarry. know tht in the hunt he gets transformed.  each time u hunt down an idea that idea is consumed by u and becomes a part of u

And then he sent me this quote ... "An average man is too concerned with liking people or with being liked himself. A warrior likes, that's all. He likes whatever or whomever he wants, for the hell of it." ---- Carlos Castaneda

Hmmmmmm ... we continue chatting as I push publish  ....

I was just chatting on IM with a friend who was asking me about wikis and blog .... and I was just rambling on and on. 

He stopped me in my tracks saying ... "you should wear a Guru crown".  

My spontaneous response ... "naaah ... am just CURIOUS and PASSIONATE and a USER and BELIEVER.  I'm definitely not A GEEK ... all the gurus are geeks"

To which he responded : "hmm who said you need 2 b Geek 2 b Guru?"

Hehehe.
