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.

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

Belief in Virtue is more important than Virtue itself

Just pause for a second from your daily life. The life that you are so desperately trying to organise, to make worthy, to make grand. The future plans that you are putting together, the aspiration and the fantasies; put them aside and think about this- "We spend a lot of time trying to organize the world, we build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather but what part of our life is truly under our control. What if we choose to exist purely in our reality of our own making, does that render us insane. If that does, isn't that better than a life of despair?" Rationality and irrationality is purely subjective. Also what's better is only a matter of how deeply you apply your thoughts to it. If being happy and content is all that you want in life, then isn't living an insane life in a world of your own, the perfect thing for you. The problem with us is that we don't know what we actually want, and when we do, we hate to accept them and instead

India has the largest pool of talented manpower but very few innovations and patented products.

Ancient India was the hub of learning and innovation. India had scholars like Aryabhatta, Charak, Chanakya, and many others. But, with time, that zeal for innovation has faded away due to the constant lack of encouragement from the whole system. Ancient India gave zero to the world, invented chess, developed ayurveda but today not many discoveries take place in India. This lack of innovation is the result of the systemic failure of our society. From school to college to workplace, we are taught and tamed into following the set rules. We are taught to be followers and any attempt to think freely is viewed as dissent. Our society has closed itself to any criticism or corrective evolution. This was quite evident when we saw the introduction of Genetically Modified seeds in India. Every technology has its pros and cons, and we need to encourage the spirit of research and innovation to increase the pros and limit the cons but an outright opposition to anything new will be a hindrance
