Retrospection

The mind is the birthplace of philosopy of life. The mind often sets out on a journey undestined. The path is uncharted. The time is not stamped. Very often the past reawakens in the deserted corners of the mind. The triggering factor may be an event, a thought, an object or a person or ... who knows what? Retrospection is the privilege of a human mind. Probably in some moments of purposeful, intellectual retrospection, a philosophy of life begins to crystallize.

The Missing Road Sign


I very distinctly remember the main roads of the city in the early sixty of the last century.


The nation was a neonate freedom-winner.

There were signs at the junction of the roads: "KEEP LEFT." I recall that they were painted in yellow and black. At some places, they would light up at night.

By the turn of the decade, all of these signs disappered.
