Admitting the Obvious


The Obvious is for the eye, for the ear, for the nose, for the Heart and for the soul. There is no obvious for the Brain. The mind needs reasons, reasons which are not always there. Things are sometimes so obvious that we don't even look for reasons but reasons is all you'll seek if you apply your minds to it.

So often there is a strife between the mind and the heart; between what you think you want and what you actually want. There are somethings we would love to hate; but as it turns out not everything(living or non-living) that you would love to hate allows you to hate it. In loving to hate, somewhere you miss the "hate" and only the rest remains.

This is a recipe for an absolute anarchy within. A constant struggle between the mind and heart, between love and hate. This is what makes admitting so difficult. In your want to hate; we do everything possible to ignore. The mind hates to give in to the heart. It's like losing a bit of the self esteem. Losing out on what you thought was a strong will.

There are so many things in our lives that we shouldn't like but still we end up liking it. Finding reasons could be difficult for the brain. People who like to live with their pseudo-likings; would love to live in their alternate reality than to admit that they haven't been able to have a control over themselves. For them the day day they do realise is a great setback.

Obviously they can't live in this perpetually but the longer the extension the greater the chance of losing which could probably have been their greatest treasure. One shouldn't bring in his ego into it because once the ego comes in; it's hard to let it go. Admitting is actually a great virtue to have. Analyse and then admit; it wont cost you to keep touch with the reality.

“Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.”

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...
