Reverberations of 2010.

I am still recovering of the various googlies and yokers that 2010 threw at the unsuspecting audience and observer and poor me.
Hoping that the New Year will be with no after effects is just naive and utterly foolish.
So while saying good bye to this year of turbulence, lets welcome 2011 with a smile like a kid expecting a ride on the rollercoaster.
The reverberations of 2010 on 2011 may well be like music to the blasted ears. Come what may, we the species known for being the fittest to survive this earth may well survive another 365 (-2) days of scrupulous politicians, fallacious God men, merciless nature, indifferent fellow men, nuclear touting world leaders, phone tapping mail reading peeping toms etc..
Its sure going to be exciting as its going to be dizzy. So farewell ‘Tiger’ and welcome ‘Bunny’ (not of playboy fame off course ).

So "HAPPY NEW YEAR" to all :)

Why the Good are always made to suffer while the bad always relish and enjoy life?

Did you ever meet a person who is always good to others, polite, responsible, hardworking suffering for the crimes committed by others?
If no, poor friend don’t worry as you are not short-sighted you are just like the 80% of the society who does not know about the existence of this rare species. They are so rare to find for they suffer in silence and it such people that the society calls “A bore”.
Some characteristics of the Good-bore people.
• They are always responsible (eg: keep things at places..)
• They are what others joke as super-clean (eg: they actually flush and wash bathrooms after use..)
• They always pay their share of money plus yours and always never ask (eg: week end friend.)
• They always never-ever are lucky (eg: the person who always gets caught by the boss for finding flaws when the flaw was actually caused by others...one who actually explains)
• They are the bakras (eg: the person you could go with a long face and who would actually defend you and get beaten up for it...)

The above is a relatively short list, preparing the exhaustive list is a Freudian task....
The above list would have helped you create a figure in your mind the sympathetic, respectful do-gooder, but they do have one flaw which the world never forgets to point out. A cardinal sin which even the psychologists provide as the reason for their eternal misfortune and sadness – they are all followers of the greatest preaching “Treat others as thyself...”
Don’t you dare to grin, you idiot is it a flaw? ..My God if you think so you are the criminal whose sole existence is the reason for the suffering of our good bore?
In retrospect think about how many times you have actually meet such a person who actually does such things you fail to notice and expects you to do the same, after all they are people too and they take pains to be good expecting that they will get that in return. They are not saints to do things without expecting anything in return.
Do your part and don’t grudge when they point out their intentions are good. These days people are fighting to save the man-eater tigers, don’t you think we should at least give a meagre thought about this on the verge of extinction people?
Next time when cross such a soul say a silent prayer to God for sending them... I am saying it along with my adieu.

The Colour Grey.

The other day i was browsing the many mails in my junk box, most went to the trash. But one mail caught my attention, the one i had previously deleted many times. It claimed to tell the character/mood of a person depending on the colour preferences. Under grey it read “Likes to take life as it comes”. I can already hear your smirk, yeah what’s new. Sorry! There is nothing new, everything is old but this association of colour made me think of the various things we associate this colour with, the most prominent of them being its association with one’s character.
Everyone likes clarity in life, “Good or Bad”, “Black or White”. Most will take sides. However reality is a long way from it. There are very few things in life that are certain, or so we think but most are uncertain and ‘Grey’. The colour which is neither white nor black. A state of mind in tender hooks, unable to swing on either side. A person accepts what comes only he is fed up, fed up of trying to be like others, fed up of ambitions and becomes serene as i was on that day. And Yes! I was wearing Grey that day!.

First chain - A place for thoughts

I experienced some of the best moments in my life while travelling on the train. It first started during college days when I began taking the train which was largely uncrowned at the early morning. These times were the most beautiful ones. With the cool breeze dozing me off and my mind blank and uncluttered with a thousand thoughts I talked to myself. My brain it has a voice that I can only listen, it wander hither and yonder connecting disconnecting………I have no words to describe it b, coz I don’t remember much of what it was talking, but it is witty, so flows without a hitch……..

I mostly think about life. Like why the person who played such a melody in the flute should be blind, and doing so in a train for a few rupees. But the man never spoke a word, played his flute, and accepted money with is head held high. It’s a rare quality…..

People who know me of this ether realm know me as a talkative one, always a chatter box. I cannot dent it, I am enjoy talking and discussing. But my real place is my solitude and my real company my soliloquies. I may spend 11 waking hours crowded with people and their thoughts and even the voices of dead ones through their work… But every day I need some time with myself, my inner voice that is my best companion and friend or else I cannot sleep.

I am sure everyone experiences something like this, share it for I don’t want to be the lone one in the place…..

Welcome brothers and sisters........

Today in a flash something wonderful happened, the light dawned on my world, i realized to my wonderment and to others loud guffaws.....guess what "Thinking is my favorite pass time". If your thinking , yeah yeah, i know i dream too. No boys/girls, it is not dreaminggggg... ( I am always politically correct, come on, at least i try), it's THINKING with a big T.

Today is the day that i embark on a new journey, to find minds that think like mine, to discover brains that doesn't work like mine and thoughts that oppose mine. Today is the first definite step to get liberated from prejudice and broaden my horizons without binoculars. And with an open mind i start this project.

"The project"

AIM: To record the precious wanderings of the cerebrum for the next one year.
EXPECTED END DATE : 1 December, 2010.
EXPECTED RESULT : Still thinking...... :)
