When Aberrant becomes the Usual

The routines in any of the myriad phases of your life are monotonous. Life moves on a smooth track in a set of routines from morning to bed. The time you rise, the time you go to bed, the same cycle of work everyday. Then suddenly you step out of that monotonous phase to stir everything up and metamorphosise through the painful change. This at the beginning has something new to offer everyday.

Slowly but surely this new phase also starts becoming monotonous and life even with all its struggles becomes boring. The aberrant suddenly becomes the usual. Returning home at 9 p.m. Looking after your own clothes. So many other such menial tasks you never knew existed before. All this becomes a part of your life and is a part of your usual day to day job.

All these changes made to our lives are irreversible. Recreating the old times is impossible. Even if you go back to the old times, you'll notice everyone else has moved on to a new life. Now you'll have everything that you didn't had then but it can never equal the amount of fun you had. The fun is because of your friends, those special relationships.

Now everything is more formal, sophisticated. Its like a free bird has now learnt to live in the cage, to survive. The free spirit is intimidated by the high rise buildings, exquisite interiors, suited individuals and submits to the orthodox.

Sometimes you'll break out of this monotony and realize that this wasn't what you expected of your life and is all this really worth it? and why you are doing it? Then again you'll get back to doing your work and laugh off the past dreams as impractical thoughts. You rarely look at where your life is heading but fervously push to move forward on the unknown road. This madly rush to the unknown may prove to be the spiral in which you finally collapse. At the beginning I'll try to break out of this but between me and the orthodox, the battle is tough.

"All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So we must rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible."

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...

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...
