Hedonism - the only way to be

I had almost forgotten how different Chennai was from Bangalore. After many months, I made a visit to this so deliciously Tamilian city...i have become too hedonistic these days to be really charmed anymore by Chennai.

Was like a sojourn to the old days...had a meal in one of those messes you find only in Chennai (and maybe parts of Malleswaram in Blore). great food..as clean as you will get for a 10Rs meal.

Living in South Bangalore amongst all the yuppies in Koramangala for a few years now, its almost become a given that the only joints worth existing are those that you can blow a lot of money for some normal food. I think it is good once in a while to do these kind of deviations...

It does feel I have come a long way on the road to hedonism...long live self-indulgence...one of my friends would agree.. :)

The hedonistic view focuses on increasing pleasure and reducing pain. Note that while the terms were originally employed literally, this is no longer the case. There seems to be no common ground on what actually constitutes pleasurable or painful activities. The hedonistic philosophy usually has a sexual or libidinal connotation............Excerpt from Wikipedia.

Read your post once again with the REAL meaning of HEDONISM in your mind and see what you have conveyed to us about yourself.

I liked the last sentences of your post. :)
