Three days of solitude!!!

Almost everythings been good in the past few days. Took 9 days off, travelled a bit, attended a marriage with lotsa happy souls around and spent days at home eating extremely delicious food. But then there has been some vacuum created by the fact that my apetite for everyday internet was not satisfied when my computer decided to take a few days off!!
I am so used to sitting before computer surfing the net everyday, (having done that everyday for seven years) that i missed it immensely. Even though you have enough books to read and enough people to meet missing my daily dose of the net is a pain. Like they say the best way to torture a software engineer is to deny him a few hours of mailing everyday ;-) Works with me :))

What does it take to be a Buddha?

Off late there has been a big question looming over my mind - what does it take to be a Buddha?
what does it feel like to be enlightened? How can i reach a state where i neither look down nor look up at people or situations? I need to be that mirror and just reflect the conditions. Feel that eternal peace and make people around me feel serene. Above all lose this penchant for the material and treat them as they are deserved to be treated. Path to it can be explained but then to exerience them would be another thing....but then i hope someday i walk that path...feel that peace - Good luck to me!!
