A vent in the Delirium

Rationality is associated with knowledge, with intelligence, with maturity. But often that rationality is an expression of silliness. If being rational means you limit your dreams, then being rational is something we should never be. If it means leaving behind your emotions, then being rational is inhumane. If you are someone who hates being bonded, being tied behind boundaries then rationality is some silly little thing that does just that to you. It ties you down behind illusionary doors. Behind rituals, behind orthodoxy, behind maturity. Rationality strangles creativity. Creativity needs liberation, liberation from conventions and mundane. To get away from all this you need to move away from the sensibilities which are forced upon us along the way. Forced though education, through learning, through tradition. What is the rationality behind dancing on the streets, eating unhygienic street food, calling a 6" 4' man "chotu". The answer is NONE . And along th

Writing in this post is probably the most difficult thing. No matter how good you are at expressing yourself, its impossible to express the friendship in words. Maybe this is why I never thought myself to be capable enough of doing our friendship justice. Friendship is about moments, the times spent together doing silly meaningless things. Describing moments is impossible and hence every expression I express in here is incomplete, like that every moment which will be incomplete when we will not be together. Friendship is all about togetherness. The moments just happen when you are together. Friends go beyond individuality, this is why every person will have similar feeling about his friends, which will be different individuals but would have that same qualities. They do stupid things, make your fun, irritate you and never praise you. Friends are all about comfort, the easiness you feel in their presence. The love they never show, is something you always feel. The support they

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 most intriguing question that mankind has ever faced is that, what is there after death. The biggest unknown of our life to which no living person has an explanation. I might sound irrational and unscientific in all these statements but give it a thought and all you'll find is emptiness or speculations. It is a black area no matter how many people claim to have been there. The problem arises as we have nothing to define nothingness. If after death there is nothingness than what is it. No answer that you may have is anything but an assumption. Thus all we do is ignore it, not care for it and take it for granted. The most common human tendency is to ignore something which is not visible, something that is known. What if your life after death is 200 years and the deeds you do here are counted for there. This is all fantasy but what if it's true. When the known is absent, there are possibilities abound. This could be just one of them. The way we think is greedy, selfis

Seeing me calm and composed amongst the rats racing for the ever so fervent lust for money, they come to different and varied conclusions, perturbed by the response received. I don't what to earn money.(At this stage, In this way.) People mistake money for being the Goal, when all it is, is just a means. A means to achieve some of your desired goals. There is a thin line differentiating the two concepts and the staunch followers would argue that once you achieve the goal of earning money, you can use it as the means. But what you need to do is introspect. Once it becomes your goal, it is never achieved and you get trapped in an eternal loop. Money should never be for the sake of money. Money is a by product of your position, stature, standard and respect. At least this is how it is ethically. If you could go as low as compromising your basic set of principles for few bucks, it is your own personal choice. Money should never be the governing principle of every decision that y

We live our lives in real life, unpredictable, cruel, unfair world and not in some self composed fairytale worlds, where you shape your IDEAL lives. Physics teaches us the ideal can never be achieved. Yet we fool ourselves with the pseudo perennial happiness. Nothing lasts forever be it the good time or the bad. This is a known cliché. But we prefer to ignore it in our good times and use it when the going isn't good. Hypocrisy is an innate quality we all possess. On the Christmas night we forget that there were days when it was dark. When there were thunders. When the only colour present was black. When the trees were pale and when the lights were off. Not getting stuck in your past or miseries in good but equally important is keeping your feet on ground. If today you're celebrating Christmas and someone else isn't then it isn't because he deserves it any less. It's just that it's one of the days of your past when it wasn't quite like the Christmas ni

In the words of the immortal rolling stones, "You can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes well you might find You get what you need"   Life is a series of compromises. You'll not have your say always. Learning to hear no, to face defeat, to get rejected is a great skill. It lasts you a lifetime and helps you at myriad different places in life even if it leads to dejection currently. Life is not a bed of rose . It's something we all know but yet we expect to be presented a rose every time we walk into lives different arenas. Walking in is an opportunity but just that. It isn't a surety of success. Expecting chickens from your eggs well before they are hatched may only lead to allusions of what you possess. There is a line between what you want and need. It might be a fine line but it does exist. And so often we blur it to forget the demarcations.  Just because everyone else has it at this point doesn't make it your need. It still is
