The Change Fundas

During my discussion witha collegue about some complicated situtaion, he went off into a tangent asking me, "Which God do you Believe in?" Some situtaions, he said, are amazing tackled by God!  Being incharge of Production, earlier, he went on to talk about a certain past event: "I knew those were inferior samples, but the needed to be tested, and just when the HV test would begin, I would close my eyes and say, OM SAI BABA!  and as if my Magic the test would pass" I smiled. Much later, I was thinking on why and how we complicate our lives with so many possible outcomes of the future, and utilize our minds in thinking about them. Even trying to solve those possible complications. Often these extra thoughts (Read Energies) manifest into possible realities. ( also read here ) Dont all of do this once in a while? If then , Then?  And when we leave things to Free Will, we dont think of possibilities. Negative, positive, desirable or undesirable! We just let it be. We L...

Some of us may relate to this picture in another sense. Magnetism maybe! But this is the closed image that has been coming in my mind, over the events of a few months. You may have heard, ( the teacher post below), some lessons repeat till u dont pass them. Its iterations. They talk about Karma. We go through the cycles of life and death over and over again till we ( supposedly) purify! I think we get this opportunity everyday. You will see it when you believe it

Have ever Flunked/Failed? Where? In School? That "F" Grade in the report card? When that happened, what you needed to do? Repeat the class (or the subject) Right? Now have you ever noticed, somethings ; some people ; some situations ; some "TYPE" of people REPEAT in your life! Like you change your job but still have a typical type of colleague / boss/ subordinate again. Always get into same / similar problems. you change ur mate and end up getting a similar one again! You have been ;and life wants you to learn yourself; on your own. Life is this smart teacher that way. It does not show you and "F"; simply; silently and smartly makes you repeat! Its up to us, the faster we learn; the faster you graduate to the next level in life.

( Smiles) It happens with me often, that i go into the spiral of thoughts. Today's Trigger : The National Anthem (that plays before Any Movie in the theater; i think it happens all over maharshtra ) I am usually looked upon as a NON-Patriot! What a shame! Are you not proud of your Great country; motherland.. etc. Well i wont even go in the direction that Points to How Great is " Eendia " coz of the polly -ticks and all that Jing Bang. AS always i'll go in a different tangent..... We love to divide ourselves in groups. Dont we? Right from our Skool dez : Class; section; (red/yellow) house; his team ; her team; right upto : compaineez ; uniforms; cadres.. and so on. And we dont jut stop there. No! I am not talking about housing societies and religions, it goes upto countries ; walls; armies and everything. (someone said patriotic.. ok .. read on) Why do we group up as human beings? And make teams. -----------------------------One of the Questions! Are we afraid?...

bomb blasts happened yesterday and today in blore and ahmdabad i returned a few days ago from a famili get-to/vacation from out of India, where we met this guy who works for 15 months and travels for the next 12 and repeats, coz that is what he lieks to do. He has ony done 34 countries till now. Just now i was talking to my local grocer while buying some lemons to try the new tequila, he was relating about the blasts he witnessed in Mulund and the macabre that was! i realised that human lives are such local phenomenon. Only due to cognitive behaviour, and advancements our IQz are better now. but still our lives and very trivial trivial enuff to be lost lost in making ourselves in line with expectations of the normal of the PEOPLE/norms/ of those patterns which have been found common and set to normalise things Not those spikes in patterns which have brought about all the changes in lives/technology and learnings It is human to live by and in by and in patterns did u know that our brain...

So many modes of lives and people. Amidst everything and nothing happening in my life i realized a little more. While India wakes up to the fact that becoming an engineer or a doctor is not just THE means to earning, being a cricketer or a TV artist are other alternate paths. Its easy to say that east moves west and west moves east; the sine-wave is so perennial! ( if this weird cycles that run in my head interest this read this ) I met my ex-boss yesterday and one of the offshoots of the convo brought back his ideology on the fore ground that you should be clear as to what you want in your life in the next 1-2-5-10 years! Only then you'll head there! While i was juggling to find out myself, weather i liked mumbai or delhi or chandigarh or europe or Japan as a place to settle down in my life after changing four jobs i still dont know if i like this one or what i reely wanna do in my lief! Junji was saying that day while telling my his dad in law in chandigarh fell reely ill and ...

Do you believe in it? The what If loop! Ramifications......... is not just a 13 letter word, it is much much more

have had a lot of movement all last fortnight . Was also in a movie theatre multiple times. You know the tradition we have in Maharashtra... the National Anthem. Then started the movie about "Stark Industries" ( if you have seen it you know it) Prolly another Hindi movie black and white and not to mention Khuda ke liye . With all this inside the head, and me travelling here and there meeting different people for work is heady mix. Its usually found in the newspaper: racist comments were passed. What race are we talking about? I mean Hello, i thought we were all humans! Its one race ain't it? We keep making different groups, communities, cultures, languages, boundaries , countries, flags, national anthems, etc etc etc. You know why? Because we are all Cowards! yes! I said it. We need to make a group, to stand together to fight the odds. What started as a group to fight adversaries of animals, environment etc has today become something very different. It is strange t...

Its been like static. The need to define. What I want in my life partner. I think now, everyone i know and don't know has already questioned me about the woman of my life. I have some very interesting set of friends with different views. So many girls/women i know have their own versions of who women are and what they should be. Without going towards the works of Desmond Morris , I have my own opinion. Some may find this opinion sexist, but fact remains that a woman is not a man. Having said that, I will not go into much detail of what is manly work or womanly work. Lets not try and get into the nitty-gritty. Right from cleaning houses, cooking etc to riding a bike, or driving a train or a plane or even building huge empires (read companies in today's context). Both men and women can do all that. Though not all MEN and all WOMEN can do all. So many women i know just cannot maintain houses or cook or do all those "things" which are type-casted as their role. THIS is wh...

Its not just about Wayne Dyer's , " You will see it when you believe it "! Its everywhere around me or us. It was a common scene, around 11PM, I had just updated my RKD , and ~ 3 odd chat windows were open. I realised that it was more than 'very long' that i was staring in what was written as "SAMSUNG"! But i was not there, i was teletransported to a past incident. ~ circa 1996 i recall my often visited friend Rahul, he was sitting in front of his desktop, busy with Yahoo chatrooms open and with quite few chat windows open as well, briskly typing quirky remarks here and there. I used to think, how can he just go on chatting so so many unknowns! And here i was !! dunno what i wished, or he wished! And then it kept spilling, from all corners : the Vaio that i deeply desired, the guitar that reached my house( and is still lying there), where I live now, where all i have travlled, all my job changes, my movement to Mumbai, So much that I see around me. J...

““When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”” Paulo Coelho quotes Now Situation: A person wants ( deeply desires ) something and... yes.. the UNI-verse* CONS-pyres* to hell P * achieve !! And now the other person deeply desires / wants / wishes another thing, which is in complete conflict of "A person"'s Deep desire! ?? Pertinent question arose out of two situations: 1. When father living in one city had a sleepless night as he was deeply worried about something: Son #1( oblivious about father's worries) in city #2 also had sleepless night and had negative thoughts about father. Son# 2 ( also oblivious about father's worries) in City #3 all-so* could not Sleep. 2. Girl and boy are nearly seeing each other, but break off. Much later girl's brother (husband) and girl's SIL (wife) are concerned about girl as she is going through a rough patch! Now Husband and WIFE who know boy very well, persuade him. They de...

I have experianced them aplenty And I am sure you all have too.. The life around you is too fast but your mind is able to capture those tiny details and you are existing in both the domains. Music- fast but... your mind .. enjoying some of the slower paced moments of life. Traffic -Everyone Impatiently trying to get 'There' faster and you are calm in your sphere.. 'Your Sphere'! Do you live in ur Sphere? Your world defined by you! Or you live a life Defined by the World around? What are your parameters of life? Do you know?

These three were circling in mind mind during a walk in the evening, yesterday. let me explain the in-ability to conclude KT or Karma Theory ( कर्म ) : 'karma', means to 'act'. The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English defines it as the "sum of person's actions in one of his successive states of existence, viewed as deciding his fate for the next". The theory of karma harps on the Newtonian principle that every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. Every time we think or do something, we create a cause, which in time will bear its corresponding effects. And this cyclical cause and effect generates the concepts of (or the world) and birth and reincarnation. It is the personality of a human being or the jivatman - with its positive and negative actions - that causes karma. RAMIFICATION: The act of branching out or dividing into branches A development that complicates a situation, eg: "the court's decision had many unforeseen ramifi...

The order of disorder, or the disorder of the order. The order in disorder, or the disorder in order. I am sure you will have to re-read both the lines to know that their meanings go beyond the simple words that they are. Have you noticed how, we want Order in our lives? Right from the way we keep our clothes, have folders in our computers, emails,address books, groups, disvions and classficiations.. ORDER! But how much we yearn to Break-Out of the SYSTEM. The SYSTEM of ORDER! Break queues, RUN away from the rigmarole of life. Break patterns. The perennial conflict of the order and disorder, is what brings out Growth! Is what brings about the change and zest in life. But how much to balance the imbalance or How much to imbalance the balance is needed? Is appropriate?

How many times do our desires change? I am sure you would rememeber, yourself telling yourself ( yeah!!)," Oh I want this car" and later in another statement, ( seeing a better one) " Wow..THIS is the Car I want" Or maybe that I want to do this or that, meet him/her, etc etc etc. Now I am sure some of us think.. Then what ? We want everything! We will get everything. We can get everything. I think, ( because i think like this... that is why): That everytime we desire, the universe around us, recieves the same as a "energy(instruction)". The universe being the big mass of ENEGRY waiting for instructions to manifest things. And the more we desire and work towards THAT desire, it manifests and becomes reality. Of course this this takes time and effort. But what happens when, during manifestation the desire changes to a conflicting one ( no, I dont want the car, i want the Boeing!!) What happens of the half baked car somewhere.. :) (of course subject to my fu...

I imagine a not so small ball speeding towards a direction. It keeps speeding till it meets another something which either diverts its direction, slows it or stops it! It could also be hit by another 'Thingy' which could enforce its speed or direction or both. Whichever way (if you were also to imagine) you would agree that the first 'not so small ball' has either been pushed or has some internal Driver mechanism! I think we as humans are also a bit similar. We usually start off in a direction with a certain speed. Now if you notice in our case this starting speed and direction is usually not really decided by us .( usually) It is governed by the initial knowledge ( read perception) pumped in by the immediate surroundings and the push by our near and dear ones and (OR) people who we have trust on. Then with time come the tangents! These are new sources of information ( direction) and force or impacts or pushes. Our new modified drivers. Without even going into directio...

The 100th Post of "this" blog comes back to the Theme that runs here: Change Every Change is intertwined and held back by history,traditions( Read the Monkey Experiament blogged by me here , to give an insight into Paradigms/Traditions ) In the last few years one the major attributes learnt by me is Patience to absorb and assimilate and delay reaction. Who we are today? Why we bahave, react and even interact the way we do? Why our opinions are, the way they are? Questions like these and many many more , all have their answers in History. History here does not mean the history than we have studied in schools or colleges. No. This History , is not HIS-STORY, it is "your story"! You, me and all of us are made up of instances of our pasts. These instances are valid reasons to make our opinions and establish bias for or against people, organisations,social constructs and even situations . Its basic COGNITIVE learning. If 20 out of 20 times, whenever I have eaten ora...

"DO you remeber the games you/we/people play with children, in which no one wins..? (er.. no..frowning) its when a grown plays with a very small kid, say cards or just!... at the end of the game.. the grown up says .. 'ok.. so you get this and I get that.. and that you and me have both won' now lets restart playing!!" "S" was telling me...( when I asked about how was your day with you spiritual discussion group) Though I could not quite recall THOSE kind of games..but I understood, what she said after it .." Life is just like that a game in which everyone wins in the end...and then it is over..and re-started.. The aim is to actually enjoyand to play are part well , and enthusiastically.." Later, with the same thread running in my head crossed the saying..referring to.. ' at the end of the game(Chess) the king and the pawn go back in the same BOX!' It is so very important to live our parts well and enjoy! and not getting involved so much in ...

The need is never fulfilled Never What is the need? For starters.... Any one with a job is either overworked or Underworked ( talk to IT people on the BENCH) You are either too Happy or depressed ( nothing, middle path, normal is becoming difficult to find nowadays) You are either underpaid or underpaid( Ok this is special case!!) You are either hungry or you have over-eaten( too full) You are either bored or no time to even think about it Food is either too spicy or bland. Too sweet or just not sweet enough!! Ok, I am sure quite a few among us feel that above is just not the case!! Life is found in the NORMAL STATE!! ( if there is anything like that !!) ( the Middle Path from Gautam Buddha's Philosophy)[really??!!?...mail me..) But I am sure we all tend to notice only the very sharp , The extremes!!( YEAH and miss out that the life is to be enjoyed in the In-betweens!!) People who sense this change way to often and are over-sensitized to it are among the few who are PRONE to BRING...
