How can something be clear and unclear at the same time.. i am writing this post because i am standing at a position in life, where i have chosen a path for myself, out of total awareness, have invested myself,almost close to completely in it. this is not the time to stand at the cross roads and decide where to go..but a time to decide, or to think abouut the long road ahead, if it is leading to home or to hell.
Nothing can take me back for sure, but what confuses me is how should one decide what must be avoided, and must be discontinued.... :P if it is correct/incorrect ?.
May be at times you know it is wrong , but you still keep on moving ahead , postponing things for some later time. You witness similar stuff happening to people close to you, but fail to learn a lesson from them. Even if u would know that this may have happened to teach you something, you so badly want to overlook , the empathy you feel for them.
Clear is what the mind and the heart are.. as individual entities. They are doing things very effectively,but if you look at the bigger picture, you are dazed by the haze...
Nothing can be done about this confusion,is accepted,because, no matter what, life is the name of living with this double mindedness, risking ourselves through the maze , slowly yet steadily.

Dawning...yet again
Wake up..!! Says the writer inside me, that has finally shown some signs of positive energy. It has risen from the dullness that had caught hold off it, had almost drove it back to the feckless times of pointless living, where thoughts don't manage to breathe and keep holding on to your minds , like kites clinging to the threads that leash them. I feel like a free bird (as off now... :P), like my thoughts , who has suddenly so much to say , mostly though without any special purpose or intention. The way i'm using our very own keyboard reminds me of one of my friend who says i type on it like playfully playing the piano..god knows what got though him , when he declared this style of typing as one of the most creative sides he associates with me.
Since the post is all about flying aimlessly in the sky like a kite, i indirectly ask you not to expect any concrete content out of the prose that is just filling words, or for that matter filling time ,in it, the times that it spent thinking and not writing , times that felt like they definetly deserve a note in my so called "secret diary". The best part about writing is you may keep on writing wihout reading it back, unlike speaking freely , where the opposite party's expressions may give you the required feedback.
For me writing is special very importantly because, i may look at it only when i want to look at my own self , at what i were , or what i am actually.I dont think i can count reasons of why was i unable to collect my words into a decent piece of writing, and i neither want to account for it, cause there is nobody who cares why did i stop writing, it is for none that i write..it is for my self gratification.
Inspiration to the knack of writing is something that comes from reading others' views and realising how simple it is to release all clutches and explore the world beyond the shell it finds around itself.

Sacred Space
No, i'm not a swindler , who's used the famous column of the editorial page of Times Of India "sacred space" , as another heading for my post. Rather, This sacred space in my blog is being used here to highlight the article in today's TOI column on maths metaphysics. An amazing combination of morality and maths. This superb calculation is unbelievingly a matter of chance but at the same time is so true.
Have a look :
"What Equals 100 per cent?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100 per cent?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100 per cent?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100 per cent.
How about ACHIEVING 101 per cent?
What equals 100 per cent in life?
Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
are represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+
11 = 98 per cent.
And K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+
7+5 = 96 per cent.
But A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+
4+5 = 100 per cent.
Then, look how far the Love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+
15+4 = 101 per cent.
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it’s the Love of God that will put you over the top! "Is it just a matter of chance how this extra-ordinarily simple calculation gives the simplest yet deepest of a message possible?.

Spark Your Dreams
What you see is what becomes your source of inspiration , your channel of knowledge. My eyes and my mind have seen two busy hands, an occupied mind, indulging in the art of management. It is said that a girl is closest to her father , and idealises him as she grows up into a mature individual. That is some what the scenario here, witnessing my dad amidst a group of intelligent looking heads , ranging from people older to him in the years of life, as well as standing higher in the scales of education , modestly and seemingly acknowledging his words. So the spark arises from here...the ambience of my family smells, and tastes its' daily life in threads of planning, division of work , time utilisation and all those great management fundas. Now what i am to realise out of all this is that , it is not with much effort that it comes to me,as if i've imbibed it from my genes, finding myself totally with the flow i have started to believe and "imagine " myself as one of the directors or chief executives of a good respectable company, presiding over a meeting in a conference room..(hehe..too much too mention hai naa?? kuch zyada hi ho gaya.. jus kidding ;). This is a dream seen with open eyes and NOW is the time to test. The clock has started ticking and if the seeds of the fruit that i had bore in my mind as an adolescent are to bear a fruit, then there is no looking back and here is the my chance of stealing it , of proving my caliber , my worth and most of all ,of fueling the spark that had once ignited my mind. Yes , i can very well say that it's a dogs' chase for C.A.T. ( one of the most prestigious national - level competitive management tests in India.) , the only difference that sets me apart from the other 80% aspirants will be that it's their stake in a rat race for an M.B.A degree, and mine towards my dreams.
I hope i don't scare the hell out of you people reading this, if one of you like me is an aspirant too.!
Well, all d best to myself...and others included.!

Life is all about....moving on
"Weightlessness trigerred"...says my new custom message on google talk. This is not a diagnosis , rather a symptom to a stonger , healthier, and peaceful life where in one enjoys being unaffected by worldly up's and down's ,pulls & troughs. You tend not to be influenced by the pandemonium all around you that tries its full force on you , so that you crumble under it , succumb to its pressure and say that life has taken its toll on you and its full of problems , disguises, and ruthless individuals who have business none other than targetting you as their victim..!
Now lets see what causes such a great saturation stage to come. Since all of us are bound to experience what we have to in life, so there is no escapre from anything whatsoever as such, but still it's easier to sail through when you understand and soak-in the fact that this is a part and parcel of life and its NOT all that life has to offer..and believe in the mantra of "moving on", loving yourself to an extent that doesnt let you fall prey to these external elements of evil.This is a big leaning that results in unlimited gratification. Just like people say " toofan se pehle ki shanti"...i would describe such inert state of the mind and the heart as well as " toofan k baad ka sannata...!".
No leaning is achieved without experience. So if you think you're tired of seeing yourself being surrounded by troubles all the time, do take your time off and think off your stand towards life .
If you dont seem to find an answer and you have a vague , ambiguous image of life.. u haven't had enough..trust me..! and you can take more of it. On the other hand , if you luckily get the hang of thinking the other-way "outside the box" and see yourself standing and witnessing the people of this cruel world from a "glass house" , being a part of it but still not being a part . Then you get the knack , and feel of how mere stupid issues take your heads off, why are people so damn fussy, trapped in cobwebs and somehow don't even want to get out of 'em? Now , after realising what crap causes the frictions in the lives of humans , you tend to feel a sense of pleasure and relax concluding that life is all about " moving on ".

Well , as far as i am concerned, i am writing this not because i boast of possesing this capability of salvation, but rather because i know where i stand and where i ought to reach so as to feel weightless..!!

Book marks in the Book of Life
Emotions unturned, video reels replayed, pictures gazed on still, its the game of memories. No matter how much you try, the vicious circle of memories the past experiences hover around still, peeking at you , every once a while from absolute nowhere. If i try fighting it out, how much ever i scold myself, sway my head each time it lingers on to those thoughts, teach, deviate , it replays again and again. Who said it's easy and time is a healer.! As long as you're not given a huge jolt of a lifetime , lessons remain unlearnt, questions remain unanswered, the heart stays disgruntled...busy twisting and musing over every single gesture, word , confrontation, a glance of the past it has witnessed. Writing after quite a long span of time today i feel ready to share a fairly clear expression of my fuzzy mind, dazed by the surprises and unexpected secrets of life. Just had a talk with one of my friends, who says " i try hard fighting my ego but.....its difficult to forget after all i am a human". So the query remains the same, is time really a healer or is it that certain things are simply meant to happen in life . Pages although keep turning ahead but there always a bit of the paper folded in some strangled , untorn, pages of the book of life - that is yet to be written and completed.

virtual geniuses
It is so easy to be a third person, and even easier to advice as geniuses, making others feel that you have all potential wisdom doomed to be, at this age.
But how wrong do we prove ourselves everytime we undergo the same testing procedures, and then coming in the active position sharing the situations grieves and joys, we actually land up doing ditto errors and reactions,analysed by us sometime or the other. Thus the term "virtual genius" that i use to describe us humans. Politically correct but practicaly still a novice . This gives a lesson to learn : never trust what you hear until you've seen it or felt it yourself .
The above is a contradictory statement negating all those great novelists and preachers ...the shiv kheras and stephen covey's .....not excluding the excess no. of so called saints and sadhus all over the world...especially India. Ya ,but howsoever it may affect the reader of this blog ,with due respect to the followers of the above "next to all mighties", i feel that they are also somewhere or the other victims of their own preaches.People who do not have the time listening to themselves or to introspect oneself ,find refuge under them and satiate their aspirations of approaching the all mighty. Thus ending this post at a point where a heated discussion might just erupt....any body who wants to put forth their viewpoints on this so very vulnerably handled delicate issue,may leave their comment.!!
