Traveling to office for an hour and a half means that my blog entries can be partly composed on my mobile phone notes.
The journey is usually boring; and I resort to listening to music from my new mobile, or participating in the discussion which is always kept on by the other car-pool members (and which usually leaves me in a lot of discomfort of having to bear the ignominy of coming everyday and listening to insensitive people cribbing about mundane things or lesser)
So anyway, here are a couple of pertinent questions that I came to think while trying to ignore my close-to-obnoxious car-pool colleagues, all the time observing them as well, and getting amused.
Why does silence frighten you? Why do you panic if you or the people around you are not speaking continuously?
Do all of us need a scenario? Do we really need to have at least a slight notion about what we will be generally doing when we are at 45? (This being kept in mind that I still have a considerable time to get there!)
Answer these questions if you think they pertain to you as well.

As they say,...'true friendship comes when silences between friends are comfortable...'.
The desire to speak constantly is fuelled by the fears of having to listen to the sounds of ones own inner life.Situations, scenarios vary, but living with ones own self is a challenge.
In a more mundane application,the bonhomie visible in most social intercourse is another attempt to obfuscate the real issue of looking at the mirror.
To be comfortable in silence is the first sign of strength.
And reg the journey from 25 to 45, remember it will never end. At 45 , the road is as long. To be or not to be is not the question. It is the answer.
Wot say, cheekoo?
What ridiculous a notion - Silence frightening? huh! It is frightening when the people around chatter away continuously! God help if i am ever forced to be in such company!
And as far as being 45 is concerned - i just view a villa - Greek style in some distant woods near a lake! he he ...
