MIND

Nothing is complete or incomplete,nothing is sorrow or happiness ,all just scenes of the bigger drama,the ultimate version of a single big thing called MIND.
All grows here,dies here.The ultimate messiah of everything --- MIND.
Reception,transmission,perceptions,omission all taking place inside this bizarre labyrinth.
Rugged,patchy,hot,throbbing yet angular,continuous,calm and soothing,an irony of ironies,mother of exceptions and genesis of creations---MIND
Attitudes,personalities,importance,attachments apparently extrinsic,but born inside this categorically intrinsic complexity.
An ‘invisibility’ making ‘visibility’ possible.All begins and ends right here.
Rest just a matter of perception….
Every complexity,no matter how gigantic,just a pawn in the hands of this unrivalled KING!!!
Within a flicker of a second,worlds change,lives become lifetime and time comes to a halt.
The razor edge of this SAMURAI’s sword has it all….MIND.
Mind and mind games and and without its rules----life a lifeless vegetation in the realm…

UNPLUGGED!

Things don’t change. They are steady. You want them to change,but they don’t. As if stuck in a time warp, but your sanguity does’nt allow you to give up - waiting. You wait and wait,with every ounce of persevearance in use, but they don’t, things don’t change! Same eerie ,insidious steadiness…You shudder, shrug and at last realize it was ‘initiative’, ‘action’ that was lacking. Yes! and that ‘You’,‘You’ have to take it. ‘You ’ have to step up to the plate and make things happen because things are things- inanimate…and they won’t change all by themselves for that very reason! You have to give them that midas touch...
But is this limited just to things? No! Another biological entity possesses this trait—‘humans’ or ‘people’.
They also don’t change sometimes (whether for good or for bad is entirely a different question altogether). Now, here I am talking about the intellectual changes that may take place inside a human brain, but that blasé steadiness is observed here also and in bulk, be it in maturity or intellectual growth. Full Stop. It comes so easy and so early yet stays forever. You find full stops of all hues and sizes spread around:animate, inanimate, black, white. So risible yet so common. Cult of boredom,with no difference between today and tomorrow,past and future. Their life reduced to inanimate animation. 'Pause' button of a player - as if pressed for forever. Their ‘stepping plate’ either missing or not present at all !

You can shudder right here, this time, to remind yourself that this ought not be your story, that there is a wall separating you from the cult of boredom and that beyond that life is so beautiful! A journey extended to infinity, full of adventures and challenges, and to find yourself in that train itself can make everything else so secandory!
So shrug, so that you don't transform into ‘appalling wax works’ standing on ‘dead ends’.

Attraction

"Attraction"...out of the world experience...
A 'daze'..a 'stupor'..
Hundred times stronger than any 'junkie' would
ever experience...
Keeps flowing inside you...
Just as a 'junkie' enjoys assimilating subtle 'puffs',
you can enjoy it, sitting silently at one corner of the room..
Requires nothing, yet thrills you...
Stronger than the strongest sedative...
A 'phase' -- a total 'state of mind'---unique in itself..
Those who enjoy it,know it's the biggest addiction in life, yet worth experiencing..!

LOVE

LOVE... four letters, but mean a world to the world.
Felt by almost all.... everything is a wilderness without love in it.

All seek out that special person in their life - their 'soulmate'. When a child breaks the shackles of dependency and starts discovering his individuality in the teenage, the concept of soul mate starts taking shape inside his mind. As he steps into adulthood this longing gets enhanced.

To find the soulmate, some choose random methods, some resort to the traditional methods of match making. Some give up after dreaming for some time saying, “Utter wastage of time. Life has many other important things to do.” Some stick to it, but compromise with lesser available alternatives, thinking, “Everybody needs to adjust. Nothing is perfect.” Some still go ahead, keep crossing possibilities, seeking the one they have never seen, but cannot stop thinking about. Not a single day passes without waiting for ‘the one’,  ‘their soulmate.’ And with time the need for that perfect one keeps growing. They bear pangs of emotional voids, feeling of letting out, melting somewhere, and sometimes miss a shoulder to cry on or a hand to give them strength to move ahead when life is all black. They try to compensate it with other possibilities such as friends or relatives, but satisfaction never comes. That need to seek somebody never goes away. It keeps on growing and sometime to an extent where it starts interfering with their career goals. It feels as if nothing is possible without that unknown soul mate around. As if walking even an inch is impossible without him. They grope for him in their dreams, in their darker moments; longing to see him, feel him. Sometime urgency becomes so overwhelming that they start looking for the soul mate in a mere 'possibility’. Even after knowing that he is not the one, they try to superimposing their soul mate’s image on him. But against the law of the nature, mere superimposition can never turn a possibility into reality. In the process of realizing this, they again bear undeserved pains as a result of the treacherous superimposition.

Some loose the battle here. Never go beyond this. Some muster up strength, decide to risk it again and move ahead- in search of the ‘perfect one’. Days pass by and convert to years. They realize the cream of life was spent searching the perfect one, rather than getting spent with the perfect one. Still deciding not to compromise, and not losing hope they move ahead. By this time, the need becomes bearable. The pangs of the absence go only to a certain level inside and stop. And one day, when tired of indulging in this hopeless hope, they try to divert their mind somewhere else, somebody knocks on the door. And lo! He turns out to be someone better than expected! It enters their life, and becomes a part of them as if they had never lived alone!

LOVE is worth a wait. So all you believers in a perfect soul mate, never settle for a ‘possibility’ when your ‘perfect match’ is waiting for you somewhere. It is just a matter of time when you meet each other. Start eyeing your doors, and may be you can hear that knock now! Even if not, it is better to keep the doors open rather than letting them melt under the impatience of the need to belong.

Remember: ‘Reality’ never comes before ‘possibility’ as ‘possibility’ creates ‘reality’.

Being KEC

KEC is like a gorgeous nubile princess in the bosom of majestic Kumaon Hills. With lovely breeze blowing at its face and teasing its tresses, its breathtakingly awesome. Complete in itself. Its nights are heavenly and peaceful - taking you to yet unexplored, untouched contours of imagination.
Mankind’s biggest and ageless marvel engineering came to bless it, with the intention of giving it a Midas Touch. It had infinite dreams of carving out a manmade heaven and putting the princess in the robe of a Queen. It refurbished its elegance and saw the princess turn into a Queen.
People who came to see the Queen experienced the divinity of the its night and became mesmerized, deciding never to leave the place. But as night got over and dawn came, it ended quickly without lasting long and suddenly broke a grim, stark noon. With the advent of the noon were uncovered some of the dark truths, till now shrouded by the grandeur of the night. Also got revealed was the morguish jinx haunting the place and invisible during the night. The ugly faces, the ‘Jinx’ themselves - dark like the dead of the night, who ate away the beautiful noons leaving behind the half eaten corpse, were apparent during the day.
And now, the Queen already robbed off her diamond studded thorn, lies vulnerable - helplessly waiting to see her night gown ripped apart next, and night, her only respite, be snatched away too.
Sometimes a whiff of fresh air blows away a little sand away from the ‘desert like’ noon, but then suddenly the whiff itself becomes ‘alloyed’ with that sand and dies or turns out to be mirage giving the delusion of an oasis.
The story continues, people come mesmerized , people go away disillusioned, with empty faces, vowing never to come back and the jinx continues to haunt the place. The Queen who once saw a gigantic dream with engineering is now witnessing herself, being ripped off its grandeur, slowly, time and again, by the brutal assaults of the ‘CANCERS’ of the same specie whose ‘GODLY HEROES’ once blessed it with the Marvels of Engineering.. HUMANS.

Classroom scribblings

JUST IN!

Of late it comes to me only too often;what sort of blind race are we running in?Leading to nowhere?No light at the end of the tunnel………
The world around as if shackled in the hands of destiny? Destiny? Can it be called destiny?or a farce ! –the whole situation –a FARCE.We—struggling to achieve…..?
What?Something which even we don’t know?But how is it this possible that it is our future ,our destiny ,our life and we don’t know about it?Shall I call This irony or buck passing?Well,it is the question that has to be answered……..But when?After this delusion swamps us or we lying in our death beds ,with whole of the life flashing in our mind realize that one precious human life to live and to feel proud of was wasted!
That at the end of our life we havwe came a full circle…….?
Can’t we realize it is the time to “draw a line!”..
To say “I do !!” To wake up!! To realize…….that we EXIST!!!
To start living the life we want,which is unforced,of which we don’t have to be guilty about , skeptical about ,following the trite,hackyned,stereotyped success paths which we may not want but still force ourselves because of the delusion that having money and professedly successful is what is the goal of life and we sacrificeourselves saying “we want to do it but THAT’S THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES!
Perhaps not! What a sin this is ,sacrificing oneself,one’s feelings,one’s will for something we say is a BIGGER CAUSE……..! Not realizing that it is strangling our creativity,killing ourself and morphing us into unthinkable,thoughtless herd of dustbin,so called ‘Corporate Citizens’.Getting ourselves entry into a world where people don’t think,who survive but don’t live…….
Shall I say this is the Achilles Heel?but why?till when?for whom?what is the use of this existence?where we have to beg?to confess?to feel sorry for ourselves?it is nothing but disgracing the nature’s greatest creation ---MAN.

Just A Minute!

What is that one thing that you never want to stop doing or you always want to do………?
Before proceeding further on this think for a while………….
For those who could not recall anything ; read it because this will tell you why it is important to find one and for those who could , it will be a journey into the virtual world of thoughts,giving you a taste on introspection!
I have always been a kind of person who loves respecting one’s Self. I recently heard a quote saying “When I am happy I do Maths,when I am sad I do Maths!” Sounds funny …….isn’t it? But it reflects the very thing I want to say-----Loving something passionately.
Everybody has that one thing which one can’nt stop doing. Both in the best and the worst of times. It may be something very trivial like stuffing oneself with food or something very intellectual like writing like, I write whenever I am on extreme highs or lows. Similarly there are many people, many faiths ,but sharing the same views as mine!
It really does’nt matter what u do ,but what matters is that u do .And those who don’t ,it is necessary to discover that one thing and to keep pursuing it, because it acts as a safety valve….
Just as a safety valve releases extra pressure out of the pressure cooker, the same way it is that one thing that keeps you resilient and shock proof!!
Today the competitive pressure has increased to such levels that people find it difficult to focus on themselves and hence tend to buckle up on the first sign of pressure --inspite of being good .All this is because they don’t utilize their safety valve to the fullest or let’s say don’t utilize it at all !
Though people know life provides no automatic safety net, still they can’t stop their past laurels from affecting their present .As a result --complacency starts creeping in.And they find it difficult to detach themselves from a past “success state” to a new one (which might not be pleasant………most of the times).
All this eventually leads to the shift of focus from self to the surroundings. The worst one could want! It makes you vicarious! It makes you fill up your success void with somebody elses !!! Check it out!
It’s a warning signal !! It can temporarily kill your potential or may shatter you to pieces ,time and again!!
Watch out ,if anything like that is happening it’s your time to wake up and do something about it ,rather than sitting passively and watching yourself crumble…..
Pull yourself together .Your Safety Valve--Use it!! If it is still dormant ,find it!! It acts as a psychological boost none other can give you.
It can bring focus back to urself .And remember if u still ignore these signals and don’t do anything about it now it becomes very difficult afterwards to put the pieces of ur shattered identity back !!.
Ultimately what matters is, living happily while being productive. Both are complementary. If one is missing other can’t be achieved .

ACTIONS

World is an open arena where individual skills are the only weapon we possess. It is a long quest--quest for the best! Whatever actions we take today ,affect our tomorrow.
(That does’nt however, mean we should balk at taking actions...)
Actions should come from our side repeatedly!! Never ever should one be conscious of one’s actions .
One should let them happen ,because they are one’s own!! …...And that very fact makes them special !
Categorically speaking ,actions are of two kinds-- Self generated and Externally Motivated.
Most of the time ,actions we take are influenced by the second kind.
It is so because the uncertainity which shrouds self generated actions compels us, most of the time, to switch over to the second kind--by default, and most of the time ,they turn out to be favourable also….!
But still I would give more marks to those preferring the first kind.
The reason being ---
The will and bravado that calls for to take self generated actions!!
Giving a deeper thought makes one realize what degree of mettle and sense of emotional and mental integration is required to take them !
Only few possess the valour to initiate such actions…!!
Talking about the consequences here, let me emphasize they are secandory since
nobody is born omniscient!!
Self generated actions possess the beauty of unpredictability which influenced actions don’t…........!!
And without which life looses its savour and so do actions……………
No matter how safe influenced actions may be, the very fact that they are influenced ,snatches away the originality from them and makes them unattractive and somber………

So be a self –generator always……..!!
Remember: The toughest thing in the world is staying original……….

A LIFE

A child’s beautiful imagination “it is possible!” bettered , pettered out into “is it possible?”

An enigma,a possibility,in its amorphous form ----- stalled.

Reality ; lost in the gaggle of possibilities or never discovered ?

Rainbow of feigns or a mish-mash of identity ?

A ray of dawn or dusk ? or a sun behind an overcast ?..may be……

A possibility ; crushed deliberately or nipped in the bud---- by The Winter Dew ?

A “harakiri” or “self-immolation” ?

Should I call these shades of life or whims of a boozer who has his eyes closed and refuses to open them!!

A ‘Life’--- to be figured out by ‘Life’ itself before ‘Life’ kills ‘Life’ in the war against ‘Life………………….
