The Silent Readers

Wondering why the blog viewcount is above 600 but the number of comments a dismal 2, I meet the silent readers. The readers, who aren't actually the followers but stumblers whose greatest appreciation is their silence. As a self-proclaimed non-seeker, I find myself seeking such appreciation, amusing.

As the phoenix from the ashes, they appeared from nowhere, right in front of me, but with the most satisfying and fulfilling comments. What other reviews can one seek, better than your peers. The ironical appreciation is that they find it beyond them to read. The conundrum that arises splits you between continuing writing for yourself or for these silent readers, who might actually comment if they find it at par with what they seek.

Man and the entire living kingdom has been characterised by evolution. Evolution is the cornerstone of the ever so improved present modern day world. It's evolution that I too seek. Evolving into something I can't even think or imagine of at present. I want the life to be textured by time. Starting early gives you more time to evolve. At present I lie in front this monitor and the keyboard unaware of what I intend, when I write this.

Most people would never survive reading past the three paragraphs. People have fugacious interest in reading random thoughts. Random thoughts is exactly what this is. For the exceptionally rare who did manage to read this should suggest on what I did wrong or what could have been better, because evolution is what I seek.

The silence will be cherished, as always; but criticism helps in improvement and as for me feeling hurt on reading the other's views would be a false assumption. There is nothing more that I will appreciate as an avid reader and critique of other's views. The power of people's thoughts is what has always shaped the world around us. From the likes of the Mahatama, Budhha, Dalai Lama to the Hitlers.

I realise that without having the sense of writing for oneself alone, writing is extremely difficult and more often than not subject to a tame end. The period that it lives is also lifeless and the vigour never goes past the few post. When the thoughts that rush your mind are countless, writing them down shouldn't pose a challenge. Expressing is very often a difficult art.

“There are times when silence has the loudest voice”

The God Delusion

People all over the world create delusions around themselves, a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidences. In India alone we have 33 crore Gods to choose from, for the 100 crore population; a sort of personalised delusion for everyone. In addition to that there are crores of God men. The social structure is so formed that it makes us oblivious to the delusion. We continously doubt our own abilities, and associate results to the blessings of some higher beings. The degraded self-esteem is what pushes you deeper into the delusion. To quote Douglas Adams - "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" The belief that the world was created by some God and that everything in this world is His creation is fundamentally flawed. If he created everything than who created Him. Putting the creation of everything under the ambit of one entity was to simplify the exp...

The Goa Travelogue : Trip of a Lifetime

Our group of friends shifted hostels in the second year and took rooms close to each other and the friendship grew stronger from there with each passing day. Thus was born x0x-ers (3, 4 – 0 – 1, 3) i.e. rooms 301,303,401 and 403. We spent countless hours planning trips, parties, discovering music and other random shit. Goa is a destination every college group plans to visit during their college days. This was one trip we just had to make. After hundreds of hours spent on planning the trip, many last minute changes and one person pulling out we finally managed to make the trip with a bunch of our European friends joining us there for what would be the most memorable trip of my life. I as a writer am incapable of putting in words the sheer fun we had on this trip so most of you would not realise how beautiful some of the moments were. Day 1 I arrived before everyone else travelling from Mumbai. Riding 30 km on a scooter solo from Madgaon to Calungute was a sign o...

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l...
