House hunting...

Amrit and I have been thinking of buying a house for quite some time. Sometimes I think that we are want-to-be-buyers than actual home-buyers. We are in Los Angeles, with jobs we both like and enjoy. Money is not the only issue. The whole thing of buying a house seems illogical. It makes no sense financially, any idiot can tell us this. The same money invested in a diversified portfolio can bring far more returns than house appreciation.
But I guess it is the nesting gene.. of having ones own place. :)
Maybe we will buy, maybe we won't. The day we buy we will be one of the illogical ones :)

losing it ?

learn, learn, learn.. this is something that we have to do throughout our journey. Things used to amaze me, but now there is some reasoning behind it all. Maybe it alls philosophical, but there is. It makes me feel good that I see it. I still remember when I was around 12-13 years of age and first got to know the periodic table. I was like wow!! everything in this world is made of only these finite elements. All living and non-living. Just the sheer joy of understanding this simple thing and by myself was great.
Have I lost that somewhere ? have I started to take what I learn for granted... Nothing seems like an accomplishment. It cannot be good as it inhibits curiosity.
