DO I CARE ?

So the world is undergoing an economic slowdown, people are losing their jobs to recession, the polar ice-caps are melting at a shockingly high rate which sooner than later will submerge the low-lying areas especially the coastal line, the strong value system of our nation has been hit for a six with more people imitating the west in the pursuit to look and sound "cool" and "urbane",the 3rd largest IT firm (satyam) frauds the common man and the duties of the so called "moral police" are being performed by the gross,malicious,profane and X-rated people.Now the question is do i care? Do we all care? Yes, we all do. But only for a few seconds,till the thought lingers fresh in our mind,after which it remains with us only as a newspaper headline,that's about it!

We are seemingly the most empathetic creatures,yet we fail to feel the profound grief of others,i am blaming no one here,because it is now a part of the basic human tendency.The impact fades away,slowly but gradually!

"Time heals the deepest wounds!" Yes,it really does,but will closing your eyes only to believe that the cat won't eat the little birdie right in front of it,help??? Unfortunately,we all close our eyes when we can't see the remorseful site,Perfectly normal i say!

But when do we actually know that the bad dream is over? and that some day or the other people like us would have to take an initiative? or that if it does happen with us,then what ??

Its time for us to stop playing the blame game,its time for us to start thinking and start walking the talk!

Act responsibly as an individual, do the little kind acts of saving the environment from degradation and be honest to yourself .Blaming is easy but doing something is difficult.Start an initiative to change yourself first,then you have a right to blame the rest.The 1st step to change the world is to change yourself .

YES,i care,so should you!

Unveiling the mystical theories of spiritualism

Tryst with life:

I wanted answers to a few of my questions on life.I seem to have a lot of clarity in my thoughts now,after an elaborate and meticulous 'Q and A' round of discussion with my grandfather and 'guru'.
Here is a brief summary of the dialogue:
Q: God resides within us and he is everywhere at the same time he states that, every one is within him,how is this all happening ? and why are we not aware of what is happening?

A: God is like the sky above us,He is everywhere,True! But He is of no definite shape or size or face or religion, He can be personified like water,like water can take shape,of any vessel it is put into.Similarly He is energy in its purest form and can be thought to be transformed in any form but the energy has no shape of its own!
Its purely our convenience to memorize Him as a human face.He is like an ocean,so no matter how many rivers carry their water to Him,and no matter how many rivers take water out from Him,the ocean still remains in dynamic equilibrium.
The whole situation can be rightly put in an apt example,Assume God to be the light emitted by the CRT,cathode ray tube,[in technical terms], of the television,and 'all of us' to be the different programmes running on air,lets say,a serial with different characters,with 'all of us' playing our part as some character in the serial, so without the light 'we all' cease to exist,and 'we all' embody the light within us.
For further clarity,assume God to be the 'Sun',without the sun knowing how we all rely on it for life,He comes everyday to enlighten our lives with its charismatic presence.Thus He is the energy without whom we all are defunct or comatose.

Q: How can we befriend ourselves ? How can we put our energies to work for our betterment and avoid ourselves from worldly desires and distractions to achieve spiritual,mental and emotional growth?

A:The key is to understand your 'own self'. You(heart+mind) are your best friend,your soul mate and your guide for life.Brood over what i said and you shall know what i mean,when i said this.
No-one,no matter how close to you can know you more than your own self.Be-friend yourself,trust yourself,endow innate trust in your abilities because there is nothing,i repeat,just nothing what we can't do!
At first master your heart, by luring it to follow the right direction,which would initially be provided to you by your mind,then comes the hard task to ensure that your heart doesn't take charge of you even before you start to show it light and you take charge of your mind+heart.After this the story is very simple,because your heart shall give you all the right decisions on its own,without you having to give it orders.Your life can't be happier if you follow this seemingly difficult but extremely advantageous and simple principle,because it is after this that you grow,spiritually,emotionally and mentally as a human-being.

Smile and Love all.

Headed to Neverland

If you're confused with the topic,don't be,because that's where i am headed,to the place called NeverLand !

Just in case you're wondering what/where it is? Here's a brief summary: Neverland is a fictional world, often depicted as a magical island featured in the works of Scottish author J. M. Barrie, and is the dwelling place of Peter Pan.
Neverland was introduced in the theatre play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up by Scottish writer J. M. Barrie, his subsequent novel Peter and Wendy,[1] and later works by others. While sojourning in Neverland, people may cease to age; therefore, Neverland is often seen as a metaphor for eternal childhood (and childishness), immortality, and escapism.

and if u wish to ask me,why exactly would i want to head to this flabbergasting place ,well..the answer is simple,its because I don't want to grow up,ever!!!

Why do we all have to grow up?why ? why?...I know the obvious answer to this fairly unreasonable question i just posed,everyone knows,but its not that easy to accept that you've grown older than what you were on your nineteenth birthday and that you're no longer a teen anymore!! :O

What more people look up to you now,expecting you to do all things in the utmost sophisticated and responsible manner as possible all of a sudden,because after all you're grown up now, and being silly is so passe and uncouth,and because you're not a kid anymore remember,OH..just in case you don't,no problem at all,because all the people in the world will let you know that in a jiffy,even before you can bat your eyelid,to get a hang of what's happening and how in the world has the world around you changed so soon,just because you're not a teen anymore!

I so want to move steps backwards in my life,i want to cherish running around the trees,chasing friends for something that they stole from you which was yours,to sing those juvenile and puerile nursery rhymes,which our parents made a point for us to remember and but ofcourse make sure that they tell the rest of the world,how bright their child is,by showcasing his/her sense of rhythm,his/her voice clarity,his stunning memory(for the way he/she manages to memorise the rhyme) at such a tender age implying how intelligent he/she will be in the years to come,all of this is conveyed in a rhyme,amazing isn't it,and i am so sure i'll do the same with my kids :) !

I want to dream of fairy god mothers and tooth fairies who are above in heaven,taking care of all your needs :) .

I want to count all the stars in the blissful sky at night,without thinking of it practically.

I want to fly like a bird,with my arms outstretched,and my senses cherishing ever bit of the act.

I want to eat sand and play with it,without worrying about my clothes being soiled.

I want to sing rhymes ;)

I want to be closer to nature and i want to enjoy the musical sounds of nature by keeping my eyes closed and hearing the birds chirp louder than ever,and the sound of the stream that gushes lyrically down the slope and the rush of the cold breeze hitting me through the threads of the fabric of my sweater.



I want to feel the tiny droplets of water on my face when it rains.



I want to jump in a puddle and splash the water .

and the list goes on...

and this is what my neverland is and that is exactly where i am headed..! :)

To Forgive...

What is the most difficult thing in this world? As far as my point of view on this issue is concerned,i believe "To Forgive.." tops the list,and its not as if i am the first one in this world to mention this,as its already there in our epics,written some million of years ago.Now the questions that arise in my 2kg mass of tissues,water and nerves right above my neck are:
1.What makes human beings,the most intelligent species in this world,so sensitive to being hurt by words??
2.Why do emotions take a toll on us,in most decisions of our life?
3.Are we more vulnerable to emotional hurt or physical hurt?
4.Why is it soo difficult to pardon others or yourself for any malfeasance commited?
Lets state a few facts first...
Man created society to maintain harmony and inter-dependability .
Society created a set of rules for 'homo sapiens' to abide to,so as to maintain a just and quarrel free mechanism to live in .
Now our brain and society clearly demarkate the 'good' things from the 'bad' ones, and so if you doing anything 'bad',i.e. anything against the norms and rules set as standards by the society,you make an ERROR!! and you definitely have to apologize,because the brain doesnt register it as a 'good' enough act..weird...!!! We make rules and if we deviate,we apologize??!!?? i feel its very human to err,and we shouldn't apologize for that,because it is this process of differing from the rest that makes people unique.But yes,i also firmly feel,just in case we do break rules and hurt others,emotionally or otherwise,the word 'sorry' is apt,to a certain degree!
Now why do people take ages to forget a folly,and FORGIVE?? The answer to this is simple,its the feedback mechanism of our brain!!...we tend to remember the past,hence it remains as a constant reminder with us forever,so the mind processes it time and time again making it difficult or rather impossible for us to forgive...be it our ownselves or others for that matter of fact..no wonder the saying " Once bitten twice shy " is famous!
On the contrary,there is also a saying which says "Its human to err and heavenly to forgive!!"
So now that we realise its not us but our mind's feedback mechanism+experience which doesnt allow us to forgive..so why allow our mind's mechanism to take full charge?? Afterall,its only human to err(not everyone is as perfect as u are ;) )
so go ahead smile,embrace divinity and grant someone a pardon,it feels angelic...! (I can already see a halo above my head..feels g(o)od!!)

Something Missing

Its not everyday that u get up and you feel that even though you have every basic commodity,perhaps even all the luxurious commodities you could have ever wished for and more... (thanks to your folks!),you have great friends,an amazing family,perhaps you are a someone whom people might even envy at times...yet,there is 'Something Missing'...!
Its not like i am a pessimist and i fail to see the brighter side of life or i fail to see the half glass full,its more to do with the purpose of my existence.
There are 'n' number of questions that your mind is cluttered with whenever you're trying to find the starting and ending threads of your life,primary one's being,"What am i doing?","Am i supposed to be doing this??","Is this why i was born?" ,"Is there a purpose for my life?" and so on....
What do you tell yourself when you yourself ask such questions,should you sound over optimistic and tell your self that you are meant to serve yourself and your family or your nation or the world...or should you try and find out the real pupose because there's no fooling your own self or is it ?...as goes the saying.."You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself!"
Perhaps the answer lies not in looking outside,it certainly lies within,if you want it really hard,you will have to sit alone with yourself, and trust me its not that easy!
Because its certainly not others we fear,we fear our ownselves,we fear isolation,we dread having no one to talk to,which is why we try and move as outward as possible,or we try to be engrossed in our work,so as to distract ourselves from us...Strange certainly,but true indeed..!
