Flags, boundaries, armies, Idiocracy

I am not sure if you have heard of the Movie Idiocracy  But watching the Political news around me makes me wonder so many times... on how the equation of smart and dumb people in the world stands? I am not a social scientist; but when I see people around me creating more and more divisions and boundaries, I feel we are heading the wrong way. For example, I have had very deviant views for words like Patriotism. The love of your country is what is usually means. But people interpret it as protection of their country from other countries! The only species to kill (not one) but many of its own. What about recognizing ourselves as one species inhabiting one planet. Do you think we can ever live as one? Why do we need someone above us? Why do we need rulers, presidents, prime ministers, etc. We cannot live on our own without wanting to kill each other for resources? What will bring our infighting down? Lower population, Aliens, appearance of GOD ? It is Sad

Where am i

It has already been quite a while that i have been trying to answer a key question... Who am i and what am i doing here.   So i decided to change the approach. Let me try to answer... Where am I?   So i am in a driverless metro heading to what can be called east. Towards a metro station close to my apartment.   Digging deeper. East is word to describe a direction on an otherwise sphere (circular) earth. The Earth is a large sphere shaped mass consisting of many elements. It gives company to many such small and big masses which revolve around  a really one at the centre..called sun. This really large one is extremely hot and gives energy to most of these sphere shaped ones ... Revolving around it. So relative to where this sun is visible from where u are.. East or west is decided. Towards it is east. Explaining this i have gained clarity that this large locomotive which i called metro is going in the opposite direction referred as west. Lets focus away from defination...

Connecting the dots...forward or backward

They say it is easy to connect the dots in retrospect Isn't it What happens when thou are cognizant about the changes while they are happening? Interesting it would be no... I recall studying differentiation and integration... Have you studied? It is strange,I would have never thought of this then... dy/dt... y representing the curve of the instance we were following... When t trends to zero..find the badly value of y. This just used to be a maths problem.. Simple..put formulae..method and get answer Now when I look at this..it has a different meaning. Imagine y represents your life..as it is happening...without any background music... Now when to make dt tend to zero..you are just slowing the rate of observation...observing each instance of life...as it happens... We are differentiating..each instance from the one before it... Ever thought like this.. How about integration...dy/dt..t from zero to now...life's events running from beginning to now.. Isn't thi...

WYSIWYG is it true...

What do you see? Easy I see what I see No Well the best part about being human is this ever learning nature I just love the word....Cognitive ability It's like the buildings we now live in We started from the ground...Good...we used to live there..on the ground... Then...Well don't know what happened...was it because we wanted to rise up or lack of space...we started building...one storey above another......supposedly more space we had...to live....had a better view of things...some people thought But what really happened was that we lost touch with the ground as well... That's what we do nowadays..building..our thoughts..our views..one on top of another Using Cognitive Ability Like someone said..ITTIAM..I think therefore I am...but what do you think? What is the basis of your thought...isn't it based on the answer of the questions you asked earlier...and the answers you got.or what you saw...or what you thought you saw ..but how did you ask those questions...

Forward arrow of life

I looked back at the posts So much has changed, but it's just the same as well When you look back and link it looks like a clear dominoes play Today seems like interconnected play of events that lead to today But the present never makes the sense it should You stare at it Look it up Sideways Too to bottom Around it Nothing seems to make sense That is all that we constantly try.... To make sense Plan Make it better Should be like a symphony Little do we know it is already a symphony We can't see it ....

The Change

Over an Year No posts, oh my Dear What Happened Blog has become Abandoned  After a very long time I sat Online Staring at the wall looking for a start Line What is it with this new Job I seemed to have been Robbed Where is the time, I just dont Know When I look at the river flowing fast, I just see the end of the Canoe  The change has Come Nothing seems to get Done Let this post turn the Leaf I will now need to leave back some old Beliefs

Noise

Decided to take an Auto/ rick to the airport. Took out music and plugged in There was the usual trrrrrr; the traffic.. the 'mucch-mucch' of the city. I increased the volume. It was on random number as usual and clicked till I reached 'noise' of the music to numb the 'noise' of the road. It was quite a feeling. I used to be on these roads more often than now. I used to drive around here for work... through the 'mucch-mucch'! I just dimmed the clutter by increasing the 'noise' and experienced the city.. in its true essence. the patterns...and I could not help myself flow into the spiral of life and work. I was shaken out by the sudden swerve we took; as if brought one layer up; the layers on ' Inception ' But I was still few layers in; but the jerks in life dont stop...So they? No.. 'no pattern continues in the continuum ' and Then I pulled myself out completely, by increasing the 'noise' and seeing everything around me as t...

Farewell

22 years have passed when I first met him. It was very strange, we were introduced to each other very formally. Initially it was fun to be together. We were good company to each other. We helped each other. We took care of each other. Everyone would say we look great together. Then we started having fights. Small ones, big ones. There was a time when i left his hand and he fell very badly, breaking a few bones. He was hospitalized. I then realised how badly we needed each other and promised not to leave each other. I was a kid then. Life continued. We both grew older. We changed our looks. But we stayed together, through thick and thin. We were close. Very close. But then, there were rules. We could not be together late in the night. Though we had started feeling the need, but we were never allowed. It was supposed to be like that, we were told. So we agreed and compromised. I completed my studies and started working, but my friend stayed with me. It was only after i got married when m...

A New Beginning

And now.... What do you see?

Lazy afternoons

Slept in the afternoon today after many weekends. And slept well. When I woke up I was in a blur, like where I am types. I remembered that there was a time many years ago: the lazy hot summer holidays. They would come every year. I have vivid memories of those times when it was way too hot to play outside and we would be indoors and there was the 'sound of the fan'. I am not sure if some of you have ever heard the sound of the fan. It has a unique association in my mind. Like some people have their minds run away in the sway when they look at the sea or the sky or even the moon! Well long ago the sound of the fan in the hot summer would put me into those blank long shot moments. The continuous sound is similar to a trance causing repetitive sound. Now when I think about it or get a very very very rare opportunity to experience the same, I feel that it was an era that has long passed. An era when there was 'TIME'. I feel we have lost it now. There is very little of it le...

Why are we here

We were in a cab moving from Pune to Ranjangaon, when I fist heard about this fact and it has settled in my head like "inception", like a restless housefly. "Tipu Sultan: The great warrior in India died around 1799, fighting wars in India" " Circa 1780's in Europe Steam engines were being put to different usages" What is the point? you may ask. Well, point is a 'question' that i have not got an answer to ( like a zillion others). Why are we Indians like this? We have been way too far away to 'developments' as compared to the world, though we claim to be the most knowledgeable races. With the 'zero' and all the gyan in our ' vedas' Why are we always unorganized and unruly mob like. But all this is only the background clutter. Though the bigger question is "why are we here( on earth)".. the current question is why are some people in India though they can be in a "developed country" which is better in ...

Pause

When do you pause? What do you pause ? What happens when you pause? Its good to pause once in a while. No? It gives you time evaluate, touch base with your (that) past which led you to (this) present. It empowers you to think and plan So plan a pause and plan Sent from my Nokia phone

Moments

What do you live for? some of us live for today. Live in the present moment they say! Some live for the tomorrow which keeps running in their minds. Oh the so elusive tomorrow. And then there are those who live for the day after tomorrow... When this will happen then that will happen and when that happens THEN THAT will happen and then I will feel like ..... Feel like? Ah So it is the feeling..... Like this and like that, that we live for? Is it? Our dreams, desires, projections of the future..... For the feeling Feeling THAT moment Plan to predict that exact moment to calculate that exact feeling which is to be felt Then! But then! What all changes by Then? How many moments passed? To reach THAT moment? Moment by moment, they just passed. And we live on..... Moment by moment for the moments

Moblog

It is clearly a long time now that I wrote Sitting in a train with the music playing I look back and try to remember when I would have dreamt or creating such a moment in my life Maybe it was a movie I saw or an ad where the tech savvy hero is seen playing with his phone/ gizmo. What is interesting to note is that my belief that making dreams a reality is strengthed year on year. All we need is infinite bank of positively, time and perseverance. And its all possible But all so often I am against the wall, trying to be certain of what I really want in my life? It is elusive? Or is it like a puzzle that I need to solve? It drives me to strange places in my head often. I am often in awe when I see swarms of people all around running to meet their goals dreams and desires. But question is all of those things have happened, maybe not always. Most of the things they are trying to run behind are not new or different! That much Money, that car, that house, that promotion, that pat on the back ...

Time

I lay on the bed with clothes strewn. Crumpled and pushed in a bundle at the edge of the bed. The pilow over it Inteha- Jagjit's latest album playing on the winamp - which had been captured lately by newly received Spanish and Italian numbers. I was magically transported to my college hostel room. Manish would play his Marasim with the Yellow bulb glowing in his corner of the room and he would be there. Just there. As if... inside the title track.... Haath Choote hai toh rishtey nahin choota karta... It flashed back so vividly. The campus roads The hangouts.... The guys and the girls with whom we played what now seem like games only! The rides on tractor-backs loaded with wheat or sugarcane. Hot summers and " Tandoori Aloo Parathas with Lassi" at Bhola's Dhaba! The the drowsy lectures that entailed where would be busy playing BULL-COW on paper to keep us awake. The sights of fights during the exams and what followed.... My thoughts just flowed into the time that seem...
