A vent in the Delirium

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 recent gimmick of dividing India's largest state, U.P., into 4 parts though just political drama for cheap electoral gains but still is food for some thought. I am not capable enough to judge the political implications of the divide but would like to analyse how good it is for the people of the country. To begin with the facts, among the worst of our states is UP, Bihar, MP while the best are Kerala, Haryana, Punjab. One of the major hurdles for these states apart from being poorly governed is the sheer size. For any entity managing such diverse and heavely populated land is a big challenge. The only reason of making India a federal state, was to break this vast, diverse land into smaller managable units. To achive this goal we need to divide it into much smaller entities if we feel that it's impossible to govern it efficiently at current scale. There is a lack of uniformity in the way our population is divided. Some states such as Goa, Manipur, Mizoram or Sikkim a...

Habits and Routines form your sub-conscious self and the power of that sub-consciousness is so much more than what we expect it to be. And power has the capacity to surprise and destroy. Our habits and routines is what defines us. It isn't something that we realise but it's how others form opinions about us. Bad habits such as procrastination, smoking, laziness, etc. have an unbelievable power to destroy but it isn't something that you'll realise. These are so deeply imbibed in your personality that you hardly notice them. This absence of any realisation makes you blind to a lot of your weaknesses. It's something that makes you hollow from the inside. It's most of the times the reason why you fail to understand the problem others have with you. Even if you do realise such weaknesses. It's extremely difficult to get over them as they become a part of your personality and getting rid of them is like losing a part of you. Such habits have the power...
