The Teacher

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?...

Hiatus?

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 ...

The awakening

I was telling Junji, talking to him yesterday; that how lifes meaning can change immidiately by change of perception of : our simple looking complex views ( and complex looking simple views as well) ( gosh!! why am i always liek this!!) He told me," राजन सर भी यही के रहे थे जब मई उन्हें मिला दिल्ली में " इट्स कॉल्ड the awakening! We laughed! But it remains!! If I, today, decide to chuck everything..... then...? this customer was telling me the other day , "now that i have put that 10000 sq feet land on rent, i have a constant income i have made my future safe" My colleague said, " वोह तो आप पिछली बरी भी कह रहे थे " I Smiled to self! It never ends.. does it? Why dont i stop worrying about making my fuuture safe, and just use the money i have to travel the world! Vsisit Japan, go Europe backpacking. And live by doing whatever oddjobs are needed to earn a living! Its a means to an end na?
