The full circle

The world of the lost so to say is always found in the lost mind, varying from unit to unit the lost world may or may not be judged as a land desirable.

A land desirable is a different concept... a land desirable in the following article is completely based on the author’s idea of a desirable land.

For starters, how would a unit be making use of powers endowed on to them, would they use it to their advantage? Would they use it for the greater good? Or would they use it for their own advantage on the pretext of using it for the greater good?

Power again varies on the basis of nature of power...

Let us consider the various types of powers here.

The first being a very strange sort of power- an extra ordinary, extra sensory, paranormal power.

Within this let us consider the most extreme forms of power... the power of elimination.

Would you use it like an advantage for personal benefits...or for the greater good...like the character Raito Yagami from the Death Note.

Would you use the power for your benefit? Or would you be so frightened from your own power that you would try to hide it behind a facet, deny the fact that you have, in your possession a weapon so dangerous that it could destroy your obstacles and in the bargain destroy you yourself.

Speaking of the power of elimination- let us consider a milder power, the power of eliminating an individual not for the world, but from the scenario...

Now would use that power to eliminate your obstacles-sure, you aren’t destroying lives like Raito Yagami, but you are still destroying lives in a manner much similar, you are destroying a man’s ( and a woman’s) life, career, family, future, finances ,and many other individuals and situations associated with the person eliminated...

An important concept here is Karma

We cannot speak of eliminations without mentioning Karma- what goes around comes around... now a famous track by Justin Timberlake we all know and sway to. However I must mention for the young and trendy generation...darlings he did not invent or discover the concept... he just wrote and sang the song.

Now to go deep into karma...it’s quite simple actually...what you give is what you get return...as you sow, so shall you reap.

You slap me today, believe me you will be slapped too...not by me, but by someone else, either today, or tomorrow, if not then perhaps sometime in future, but positively you will be slapped much more if not equally hard.

Hence the conclusion, if you eliminate some one today, you will be eliminated at some point too, if not you then someone so close to you, that would make your heart bleed and make you cry like you’ve never cried before.

Karma is a fine way for the universe to maintain a balance, if the judiciary fails to give you justice, which it many times does, the universe is always working to give justice.

Happy new year

One and a half hours to go for new years....what am i doing? I'm blogging.
partly because recession has really hit me hard, and partly because his highness cancelled new years party in Dubai (solidarity for war struck Palestine)

This is what makes me wonder, is new years eve really such a big celebration or is it just a hype for marketing purpose, what if i don't do anything for new years today?

Will I be branded as Hermit, (or Kermit whichever of the two is the non social guy) What if i don't party tonight? what if i don't drink till i drop?

Why is it such a big deal? its new years i know! i am sitting in front of my lap top blogging!!!

But i don't feel like I'm missing on anything. (I probably have escaped molestations like the gateway and the JW Marriott episode, having said that i am quite happy camper)

How many of us have actually felt let down on new years eve?
we probably feel let down because we expect too much from that night...why? what will happen when the clock strikes 12.00. i have partied on new years but i never felt any MAGIC of changing dates.

So I'm really glad to spend the new years with my family(we are reunited after 8 months)
and rather looking forward to 00 hours, i don't expect any magic, but i would like to experience a silent new year celebration... why not...

So happy new year!!! hope to have a better 2009, a recession free new year, and some peace.
BTW I'm also having a booze free night ( wonder what the morning after feels like...)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A war inside of me- paean for my city

I have been in Mumbai since 1997, in october 2008 i moves out of mumbai and shifted to dubai, since my mom and dad were in Dubai.
26th november 2008, i was glued to the ndtv website soaking in as much as i could about whatever is happening in Mumbai. it has been my home for 10 years, and i can tell you that i am very very very angry. if there is one emotion i feel towards India right now, it is not of intigration it is not of staying composed and united it is that of getting angry , and getting very angry, with the government, with the beaureucrates, with the Mp’s with the self proclaimed TIGER of maharashtra, with the self proclaimed ‘reformer’ of maharashtra.ever since 26th november i make sure that i cry, and i cry with tears of anger, not with tears of loss.

DO NOT TELL ME ABOUT YOUR LOSS
AS I EMPITHISE WITH YOUR MELANCHOLY
DO NOT BEG FOR ME TO HELP YOU
OR DEMAND FOR ME TO STAND WITH YOU
DO NOT ASK ME TO WIPE YOU TEARS
AS I AM IN TEARS MYSELF
DO NOT ASK ME TO BOUNCE BACK TO LIFE
AS I WILL NOT
TELL ME TO MARCH WITH YOU
AND BREAK THE BONES OF THE ONE WHO TOUCHED YOU
TELL ME TO RIP HIS MASK
THE ONE WHO SMILES WITH MIRTH UNDERNEATH
TELL ME TO WRIGGLE THE WRISTS OF THOSE
WHO ARE HAND IN GLOVE WITH THE ENEMY
I WANT MY PAIN TO GROW
I WANT THE VENOM INSIDE OF ME
TO STING THE ONE RESPONSIBLE
BUT THEN AGAIN I WONDER
ITS NOT JUST ONE
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
IT IS THE ENTIRE GOD DAMND SYSTEM
THAT DROVE ME TO THIS SPITE
I WILL NOT THINK AS A HINDU
I WILL NOT THINK AS A MAHARASHTRIAN
I WILL THINK AS A HUMAN BEING
A SOUL WHO IS HURT
A SOUL WHO WANTS VENGENCE
A SOUL WHO WANTS ANSWERES
A SOUL WHO WILL GET ANGRY

Of convicions and overload

There are two kinds of people

1)People with no knowledge

2)People with decent knowledge and good domain sense.

3)People with extremely random and large amount of knowledge...so much that they get twisted in their head

This post is about my encounters with the third kind

Very recently I was subjected to an hour long conversation with a soul who was suffering from information overload. He had an in depth knowledge about everything and anything, not only that, he also had the power to convince you and surprise you with each fact and each conspiracy theory. I cannot deny that after the hour long convo I was left feeling very insecure in this world so disgusting, superficial, selfish, and propagandistic. (also extremely impressed with this guys extent of knowledge and insight)

But let’s have a retrospect of that conversation, I was aware of half the conspiracy theories, and yet I was somehow shocked when he told me about them.

The everlasting discussion also included a topic of this phenomenon which would hit the world 50 million years from now. The description of the phenomenon was so damn dramatic that I actually felt a chill run down, I couldn’t sleep all night. Even though this thingy (i wouldn’t mention the phenomenon here, it could be controversial) is gonna happen 50 million years from now, when I would be safely dead; I couldn’t stop thinking about how evil and pathetic the conditions would be!!!(...umm 50 million years later...that is...)

The point is people with information over load always look for a bakra to pass on their overflow.

Not only are they gifted with the irritating enthusiasm to know everything, they also have a mission to pass on the information...now do not confuse knowledge with information...it’s not the knowledge they pass on...it’s the information in the most crude and gross manner, that would freak you out and make you run to your mommy like a little child...

Okay fine maybe not everyone with info-overload syndrome grosses you out, but they definitely have a very annoying impact, and maybe twist you in the head a little as well.

Now the point is, somehow these breeds f the human kind tend to be damn convincing, you can’t help but believe what they say, at least momentarily you do, it is the after effect of the exchange that you realise that information hasn’t exactly helped you in anyway, in fact it’s just playing on your mind and interfering with your normal thought procedure.

Well that’s all I have to say for now...if you ever get subjected by one such enthusiast which im pretty sure u will, just chill and dont pay much heed to what he says

to begin with

the journey has been long,
but does it take a long journey to make an exciting one?
probably not...
what is important is to know your destination,
but is it important to know the directions and the rout to the destination?

what boggles me is that if you take a wrong turn, you have the option to turn back,
but life is a one way street, you cant turn back if you feel you are in a wrong lane,
or can you?

is it one the biggest lies that- our destiny controls us, or that we must stick and finish whatever we begin with, be it a relationship, or a project, or a major situation.

the question is can we turn back...if we are headed in a wrong direction

forget about wrong direction, what if you don't like the short cut to your destination, or what if you dont like the most treaded conventional path to your destination, what if you despise that road for some reason, and want to go by another route which might be a litlle longer, a litlle wierd, a road that not many people want to take... would you go by that road? or would you stick to the road that you so wanna throw up at.

the answeres are all there, your not looking at them...there is always a sign, its a matter of recieving it.
