I - Part 4

If you expect me to say I'm your friendly neighborhood then you are wrong. Nor am I just a regular guy around.
I am totally different from what you perceive to be. Not the smartest not the sexiest not the ugliest and definitely not the brightest.
The feeling of being a "Gaijin" never leaves me and haunts me 24/7.
The not so welcome everywhere.
It's not an issue anymore as I have learnt to live with it.
I can guess what you are thinking. Yes, it was not like this before.
Happiness, joy, anger, sad was all something that never existed in my world.
Peace and nothingness were the only one that existed.
No people no world.
The moment I came to earth, and came into contact with earthlings, my world changed which was just empty.
The usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness is a line by Bruce Lee.
So that means you want to use the cup.
What if the cup doesn't want to be used?
My peaceful world was suddenly filled with the emotions of an average earthling and before I could realise what happened I was just carried away with every emotion.
It was then I understood, earthlings are ones who are so dumb enough to believe what everyone says and so numb enough to not verify it.
Snapping me out from my thoughts, the door opened. A guy who claimed to be my father came. Lifted me, changed me, fed me while speaking a strange language with strange expressions which I perceived to be human emotions. He then placed me in something that had cushions and was small enough just to accommodate me. So small that the father who was standing beside me was so huge, I felt like a dwarf.
The thing started moving. It felt good as though I was gliding above the surface.
And then it came, the Sun.
Oooh, I have that Sun. Not because it ate someone's planet, but I'm just allergic to bright light. And I wanted to shout aloud. But I had no control over my vocals and all that was coming out was a noise. The light was so disturbing that the pain made me cry, out loud.
Then a women, who was walking wit the father and who claimed to be my mother did something and the light was blocked in entering my face.
"Wow, a shade" I thought, then I received a kiss on my forehead that made all my pain go away.
Magic. And I couldn't stop noticing that my face was actually smiling.

It was then I assumed that my body had adjusted to the human environment.

For the rest of my life it will be a known fact that I am different from what my body showcases, that an earthling sees.
A life that I never wanted in the first place.
Who would ever want to escape from bliss?

And I thought it was the end...

--
THE END

I - Part 3

I guess a few hours might have passed by the time I woke up again. I was still in the same chair. Guess no one cared about me.
When I saw around, papers were flying all over the place. A sense of being in a massacre came to me.
So I stood up and went to the room hoping to see that man or that woman.
En route, the guy came towards me and said "You should not be here. You have to leave right now". Saying this he dragged me towards the wall where a map was put up.
He showed me directions on how to leave the building.
And he vanished to nowhere.
I had another glance at map and found where to start.
So I started to run towards the first exit which led to a set of steep stairs that lead downstairs. I could have gone but there wasn't any light in the staircase. Fully dark.
Then I recognised another exit from the map.
So I ran towards that only to find another steep staircase that led upstairs.
A sudden loss in my energy made me contemplate whether I could climb those.
But then that guy emerged from nowhere and said "you'll never make it that way. Follow me". He led me to a place which looked like a loading dock. It had a wooden sledge on a track and a cable that was suspended from the ceiling. I understood what we are gonna do.
He allowed me to take the seat so he can push from back.
He then started pushing while I gazed around. It looked like only the two of us were inside the building.
Papers flying everywhere. When asked what's happening all I got was "trust me, you don't wanna know". God give me strength, I thought while being pushed around.

It was a palace. Full empty. The track moved across the rooms throug holes only large enough to accommodate the height of a sitting guy.
When going through that hole, the guy kept crouching and commenting about the features of the place we were entering to. But none entered my head.

Then we came to a wall. So high and I could hear the seas more clearly now. It was an open area that looked like an outer compound. He stopped talking and came beside me and said "you are going to go through that wall now. Do not be scared. You will have a safe landing. This is best and fast way outta here". While saying this he started strapping me to a belt that was attached to the base of the sledge.
Landing? I wondered.
My head nodded without my consent.
Taking that as an yes he pushed me. I went through a curtain and was shocked to see the view out there. It was like a rollercoaster ride. I was at least 200 ft high and the drop was almost 85 degrees down.
And I couldn't stop the sledge. It went on.
I must have touched at least 50 mph speed but then the curve angle started reducing and started moving more forward towards the land. By the time I reached the water I was gliding above it.
Now I could have a clear view of what was moving around me.
Cars. "Strange" I thought.
Yea, cars that floated on water.
I felt a sudden jerk and came to know that the track ended. Yet I was gliding over the water speeding towards land. I was very much surprised because the speed of the vehicle kept increasing. I looked down and I saw that the sledge had now turned to a vehicle attached with a powerfull motor.
It was too much for my brain could take.
I fainted again. The last thing I saw was nearing the docks.
When I regained consciousness I was been walked to a room in a house. There was a couple seated beside a dining table in that room.
The moment I saw them I realised they were my parents.
And the next thing I knew, I woke up.
Gosh! The entire series of events was just a dream.

But I now have a very strange feeling that it might not be.

To be continued!

I - Part 2

Seeing my face as a human was a shock to me. A face that I coudn't identify myself with.
And I was in too much pain to justify it.
Then I heard a some sound and I turned. A figure suddenly jumped inside behind my back. It didn't startle me much because I was expecting it.
"Gotcha!". It was that guy. He said he wanted to test me so that's why he pretended to be in trouble. I was just blank.

"Come on lets get moving", he said and proceeded down the corridor.
I followed him as if a dog obeying its master.

We kept walking. He kept talking but nothing entered my head because I was amused like a child who sees the merry-go-round for the first time.
The walls were decorated with the carvings of a man who just appeared from nowhere and how he realized his purpose and eventually became something which I could not understand.
And what made it spooky was the images that depicted the progress of that man. It depicted hell and heaven combined.
We turned off to a corner and entered a room which was eventually the room where I saw that lady.

"here we are" said the guy to that lady and they both winked.
I was now led to the auditorium and offered a seat in the middle.
"just relax. We have everything under control" said the lady who followed behind me.
This was the point where I realized I had not spoken anything.
"who are you and what is your name?" I asked. It was as though I spoke for the first time in my entire life. "and who am I?"
"you will soon know who you are and who we are does not really matter" a new voice from behind me said this. I then turned around and saw no one. And everyone started staring at me. "who is this?" I asked again.
"it does not matter" the voice echoed throughout the hall.

Before I could realize what's happening, I fell to the seat half dizzy.

I - Part 1

I woke up with a terrible headache.
I didn't know where I was and how I ended here. Four desks of which 2 was empty.
It felt as though I had an hangover. All I could realize was that I was in a room that felt like an abandoned building and the sound of sea banging the walls.
I turned around and saw two doors, 1 closed and another open to sea. There was a ladder that gave access to the roofs just outside the second door. I started climbing.
Even though it was just 10 steps it felt like 100 thanks to my headache.
Struggling myself to stand up I saw the building that I was standing on resembled the Alcatraz prison. Surrounded by sea, I could see the land not less than the distance of four empire state buildings.
Confused I started descending the ladder and went inside hoping the other door is not locked on the outside.
It wasn't, gave away on 1 push, and the creaking sound echoing throughout the room.
A passage way, lighted by a flickering bulb, led to another door leading to stairs climbing down.
When I got down there were two ways which looked like the sides of a room that looked more like an auditorium.

I chose to go right as I could confirm that there were some people talking in a room.
The passage then turned right which led to a room.
The moment I turned right, a man suddenly appeared on the right and spoke to me.
He was wearing glasses, a bit brown complexion, average weight and height.
He was talking something but I couldn't listen. I just couldn't concentrate.

He then led me to a room which looked like an office of a printing press. There were a few people walking here and there,
He offered me a seat in front of a female who looked like an Japaneese.
She then started talking, but could not understand anything in her accent. Imagine a computer voice that has the style of a Chinese trying to speak American English using the UK accent. Weird right? That's how she spoke.
All I managed to understand was that she insisted me to accompany the man who had accompanied here.
Before I could respond, that guy pulled me outside and started walking. We went towards that auditorium, which was now occupied by some people, dressed as street performers.
But this guy kept moving. Muttering something, he turned the opposite way from the stairs that I descended from, which I guessed to be "this is where you were kept". Things started to flow into my mind. Why was I kept here? Was I a prisoner? Who was I?
I then decided to ask him, but before I opened my mouth, he said wait here. It was an h-type section. On the left there was again a bulb that flickered the way and on the other side it was fully open, without a fail safe support. The passage turned right and then left. He said again "wait here" and jumped off to the open holding a rope and landed 1 level below the one that I was standing on. After sometime, which felt like ages, he shouted "Dude, I can't make it. You carry on."

I didn't know what to do. So I turned around and on the wall a small flash of light showed a mirror and what I saw in the mirror, made a shock go down my spine.
I was a human.

I am, that I am

I have seen some older people cry. I wondered why?
I then somehow came to know that, they get astonished by the creation of the world. They feel so amused by nature and world that, the moment they think about god who created these, they can do nothing but cry.
I used to think that there was nothing to be admired and that everything was just normal.
But recently there is a difference in myself.
I get amused whenever I become aware of what I am doing.
Try imagining it yourself.
You sit in front of the computer reading this.
Imagine you seeing yourself from the ceiling of your room. Now keep going upwards, just like Google Earth. Keep going from your room ceiling till you reach the sky, the universe. Imagine the vastness of everything and just think how tiny you are and how unimportant you are when compared to the entire _ _ _ _ _ _ (most common answer is creation, but I guess it may not be called so).

The Pulitzer - Yeah Right!

You probably would've seen this photo..
It's a pretty much famous one..
As the picture itself says that child was seen crawling to a refugee camp and whilst it was on the way a vulture was standing nearby waiting for the child to die so that it can eat..



For those who don't know..
A vulture will be seen nearby a living being (human or animal) only when it knows that the death of that being is near..
So it lay's emphasis to the fact that this child is going to die any moment..
And as the picture itself states, this picture won the pulitzer prize and this picture shocked the whole world enlighting the problems faced by Africa..

And it also says that this picture was taken by a photographer who left the spot and found to have committed suicide a few months later due to depression..
Yeah! I agree that the picture was taken on 1994.. But please read on.
It also says that even the child was not to be seen again..


Now is my question..
If the photographer knew that the child was on its way to the camp, then why the hell didn't he help it to reach there.. All he did was take the photograph and leave the spot??
If the child was taken to the camp then maybe it would have lived.. Well at least for sometime..
Why the heck did he leave the spot without helping the child?

And they gave a Pulitzer prize to the photo which was taken by a guy who didn't even help?

Or is that i have a wrong perception?


And now comes GLOBAL WARMING..

People say don't do this, don't do that..

Let's say for example..

They advertise in news papers..
Don't leave electrical appliances on standby cause they consume the same amount of energy.

etc.....


But they advertise in news papers..
Yes, the same paper that is created in the "WORLD" by cutting down trees and put through a 'complicated' process in a factory which creates greenhouse gases like carbon monoxide...

Is that what they wanna do?
I don't get it..

They advertise, stop global warming, by a means of a media that is a majority in the contribution to the global warming??

And my last question,


Where are we headed to??











P.S.
Yea yea.. i think a lot..

Chaotic Confusion

There are two types of people in this world..

People whom you wanna BE with and people whom you wanna LIVE with.

Too bad people mix this up and end up in chaos..
I say this because I have done it and gone through the ugly consequences..
Till now I have only one guy who is worth to live with (just in case, "as a roommate")..



The next question is..
How do you differentiate?
Well, you have to do it like old school.


Get to know the person..
Try to be with him/her in your room for at least a day, which may not necessarily be a sleepover..
Watch their activities..
See how they react to the things in your room..
Hang out with them..avoid going to the movies or to the games etc..

You can always go watch movies, hit the mall, go to the match..
Instead do something where you would have a personal interaction with your partner..
I suggest you hang out in your room would be the best, as there is nothing in this world that knows you better than the walls of your room..

If you can do that, then you will understand who is who..
After that it will be easy for you..

If you keep doing that then you will come to a state where whomever you meet in your life, you will know the next minute, who are they..
And also you will come to a state, where you will be alone amongst a group and at the same time, you will feel surrounded by lots, whilst alone..

Try it..

You got nothing to loose..

If you don't, then you will experience total chaotic confusion which, who knows, may even make things worse for you.

The Choice Not Taken

People have been living for so long in this world.
They say its not fate that controls everything.
It seems we do get choices.

Assuming so, we take our chances and make our choice.
We prepare ourselves for the right as well as the wrong turns.
Everyone around you, will criticize your choice and obviously you won't have many supporters. The brave one's continue, despite the potholes in the road not taken, believing there will be something special in that wrong turn.

This is usually how the story goes... And using that special something, everyone will live happily ever after.


Tell me, how many people, do you know, have reached the end of the road not taken? Maybe a few might have made it to the end, but not all. Most of them would drop out, at the idea stage, after criticisms... Some would urge on, of which a few would give up after seeing the hurdles in the path...
The remaining proceed to the finish line.

One of those might even be you.
Let it be the dropouts, failures or the successors.
If you are them, then you might know the psychological and emotional disturbances that may occur, where you realize, physical pain is better.
You may call it stress. I call it emotional disturbance. There is a difference.
Stress occurs when doing things for the sake others.
Emotional disturbance occurs when you things for the sake of yourself.

Overcoming these disturbances may be a bit of an overload to you.
It may even question the genuineness of your decision.
I have already said, "You can't see past the choices you don't understand".
Well, making the choice is the question here.

If you believe in fate then you might ask, how do you make the choice if its already been decided?
I can argue saying "You have already made the choice, you have come here to understand it".
But it's not that convincing.
This quote might prove that everything is pre-programmed. Seeing how things work, you will tend to go against the pre-programmed concept.

It is because the world we live in is so practical, that you might believe it's like the euphoria game engine. Things happen on the fly depending upon your choices. No pre-programming of the actions and reactions.

Assuming that to be the scenario, being used to get brochures containing step-by-step instructions for the products we buy, we will be craving to have a proper guidance to calculate the aftermath for the choices we took.

To choose or not to choose.
To pursue your dreams or to play it safe?

I opted for the choice not taken and here I am, saying...
"We were raised to make our own decisions.
Well...Are we?".

The Blindness of Love

Thinking that we might hurt another person, we act in such a way that they don't get hurt.
But we tend to forget the fact that even we are humans too.
We do have the same emotions and feelings that the other person feels.
But do we consider this when we act?
No. Why?
Because we love that person so much, that we will do anything to satisfy them, ignoring our emotions, and don't care whether we get hurt or not, and get addicted to this chain of behavior.
At no time, the thought strikes in our mind, whether they are worth all these troubles and hurts.
Are they worth so much of our PERSONAL attention?
The reason, that we love them, fails to answer this question.
As Shakespeare puts it and scientifically proven by the scientists...
LOVE IS BLIND!!!
You may say love is blind because the love for a person comes, not for the outside looks but the character of a person, from deep inside our heart.
Well, I'm saying that love is blind because, being in love blinds you of who you are and what you are capable of. It blinds the present happiness that is there around you and takes you to the 'perfect' world...The Dream World!!!
As you may know, making them to realize who they are to us is a piece of cake, but the question arises whether do you really want to prove your love to them?
Even if we did, there arises a little guilt, that we have created sympathy, by proving how much we love them and hence they love us back.
Is this true love?
Something where you are left to prove your love to that so-called special someone?
I guess, not.
We have always consoled ourselves saying that this person is not fit to be in our life because we are much better and we deserve better. But have we ever thought whether we are fit to be in their life because 'we' are not better? Maybe you are actually better than him/her, but what if you aren't?
If you happen to know the powers of psychology and have the ability to change their mind and you may do so, you will think twice before doing it. Is he/she worth it?
I guess most of you might have experienced these states.
So what can we do when you get into these kinds of situations?
Prove your love to them? Ditch them and carry on with your own life and regret your decision, each and every minute, after?
Or hey, the most common way of getting away from problems. Run away or commit suicide.
But will that change anything? No.
The best way to come out of it is to divert. Get yourself equipped. The world and everything is created for man to realize himself. And if that doesn't cheer you up, this is what I quote -
"No matter how many people thwart at you, you still have your place in God's hands".
And if you don't believe in God, I quote -
"No matter how many people thwart at you, you still have yourself, the nature, and a place under the sun".
I say you have yourself because, no matter how many mistakes you have done involuntarily or voluntarily, you always forgive yourself and move on.
So forgive and forget.
If he or she is truly your special someone, then he/she will, for sure, come back into your life at a later stage and make it blissful.

India. Incredible India

A few facts that I gathered.


Note - These are secondary data. They are just references for comparison and not to be taken legally or personally.

The Independence Struggle.



America -
Got independence from Great Britain, on July 2, 1776.
July 4th, was declared as Independence Day.
American revolution was on the late half of the 18th century in which 13 colonies from North America wanted to break free from the British Empire and join to become United States of America.
On July 4th 1886, the 50th anniversary of the American Independence was celebrated.

Major religion - Christianity which accounts to about 78% of the population.

Major language spoken - English.


Russia -
Independence day - 12th June celebrated from 1990.
The Russian Revolution, in 1917, resulted to become the major influence for the rise of the super power.


Japan -
Independence was declared on 660 BC by Emperor Jimmu.
It was formally recognized in 1873 by Emperor Meiji.
Actually it was never under rule by any other Empire. So it cannot be said that it got independence (Source - Internet).

Major religion - About 96% of the population follow Shinto Buddhism.
Major language spoken - Japanese.


China -
Republic of China, declared so, in 1911.
It was declared somewhere in that year but not sure.
Later it was declared People's Republic of China on 2 dec, 1949, and the independence day was declared to be on October 1.
Religion followed - Majority is Buddhism and Tao.
Minority (roughly 10-13%) is Islam, Confucianism.
Major language spoken - Chinese


India, Incredible India -

India, independence 15th august 1947.
It was possible only because of Mahatma Ghandhi, who introduced the concept of non-violence to the world.

Major religions - Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Islam, Christianity..

Major languages spoken - Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Sanskrit, Malayalam, Kannada, Gujarati, Rajasthani, Assamese, Bengali and other regional languages that I am sure to exist but too lazy to list it.



Why am I listing all these?
Its because of the thought in many.
When will India become fully developed?

I say, ask the question to yourself again.
Do you think India has grown enough to be fully developed?

You say Japan, the bearer of two nuclear bombs, is fully developed.
America, right now which gets the most output from India, is developed.
China, if internet is correct, has never been under any foreign rule. So it should be developed.
And almost all countries surrounding India has raced India for development.

So this is the fact that you say.
Now go read the top mentioned 'approximated' facts.

Religion followed in these countries - 1 or maybe 2.
Language spoken in these countries - 1.

And what about the Incredible India?
Religion followed - More than 5 (major religions) and some villages and rural areas have their own.
Language spoken - Different in each of the 28 states and union territories.
Yeah, there are common languages which are Hindi and English. But they fail to bring out the unity.

We boast, saying that it is our rich cultural heritage and our diversity that makes us different and unique.
I hate when people say that.
It is our major drawback.
A guy from one state, fluent in his state's local language and customs, cannot go to another for a living and get accustomed there. Or at least, a bit difficult to adjust.
Is it like that in any other country?
If you cross the border, then its a different story. I'm talking within the boundaries.

And the technology advancements.

Here is a small scenario.

We recently launched Chandrayan. Right?
The one that was sent to the moon to find out whether there is any trace of water. And we were successful in that, I agree.
NASA sent a spaceship years ago for the same, and got the evidence.
We were late.
We celebrated after the research. I agree again we deserve the pat on the back.

According to a documentary in Discovery Channel, NASA sent a spaceship to space that bears the images of man and a woman with proper depictions of how we look, to reach out to aliens, and by now it has reached the end of the milky way galaxy.

But yes, Chandrayan was our first step.
And what did we do next?
Create our own rocket engine?
It blew up as soon as it took off. Why?

Each and every nation that has sent rockets to space, all use the same Korean assembled engine. And we? Was it necessary?

People say dare to be different.
But I say, dare to be NORMAL.


And, I guess, I don't need to mention about the politicians and their scams.

Now maybe the scenario of the next generation where there is higher education rate.
Education need not be a degree or of scholastic value.
But rather the common knowledge of what the hell is happening.

The India, of our previous generation, were the people of the brain drain.
The people before that, are the current 'leaders'.

Future?
Its our generation.
The generation for which the entire nation is waiting for.
A generation that is believed to solve all the problems.

Well, will we?
With the internet raging through every individual, each and everyone is becoming over knowledged in his/her field, as a result prohibits the brain to solve anything, simply through common sense.
This is our generation. The over knowledged.

We know everything, but we know nothing.
Best compliments to Google.

And the future scenario?
I personally feel its too soon to tell.
Come on, its just 63 years.
We do have to wait it.
Its just 63 years.

NOTE again -

All these are my views.

I write to feel light at my heart.

Not against any group or individual.

If any faulty information is provided, then please correct me.

The B'Day Episode

A fact - Even though I have Muscular Dystrophy, I am still mobile within my house but not that much beyond the walls. And the weird fact is, I can drive. I have a Suzuki Swift and I have managed to drive about 150 KM which is now my max.
Weird right?


It was around 7:30 AM on the 14th of April..

Instead of the beautiful morning sunrise right outside my window, it was my phone which woke me up.
It was my friend.
"Hellooo!!!!" I said grumpily..
"wake up, wake up, WAKE UP!!!!"
"Huh??? Is it time already????"
"yea dude, we'll meet up in an hour."
"cool..But remember, I am driving."
"Ohk, b'day boy!!"

It was a road trip planned on the occasion of my birthday which fell on April 15th..
The place was some 150 km from my house.
A lovely drive along the coastal areas of India.
It was me driving on the way..

A total of 10 tagged along resulting in 2 cars.
Suzuki (mine) and a Hyundai (my friends).


The drive was very much remarkable, 'cause we visited all the places of my memories, that day.

Do you want to know?

The place where I was first caught by the police for signal violation (I never knew there was no right in that signal, and was waiting for the signal to turn right :P), the place where I first crashed my car (with my special someone in it :P), the place where I first hanged out with my friends, the place where I met my special someone and so on...

aah!!! memories.... :)


We reached our destination after a 2 hr drive. Over there, my friends actually took me to a pub for the first time in my life.

If you didn't know, I have never boozed nor have gotten high in my entire life (and I wish to remain that way) hence, never visited a pub nor seen people high.
I was actually wondering whether what they will be doing... whether they will behave exactly how they portray in the movies or differently.

I was kinda surprised when they didn't do anything.
They just behaved normally, throwing comments at each other. I guess since they do it everyday, their capacity must have increased like hell.

Time passed by.
Then, we went and chilled out in the beach..
After which we started.
The drive back home which took another 2 hrs along the coast line witnessing the beautiful sunset and a race with some random car that was chasing us and the play with a state bus.

I actually woke up the next morning (15th of April, D-Day) and said to myself,
"Expecting from the wrong persons, I was convinced that my birthday would be just another day, but these guys, proved it wrong.."

These guys, then threw a surprise party at my house on 15th.

I was really moved cause I never celebrated my birthday in the past 15 yrs after due consideration of all the experiences that happened earlier on the eve of my birthday.

You know it was actually fun... throwing cakes at each other and making your face full of cake.

I really don't know what I will be doing without them.
I wish we remain the same forever.

The Ugly Earthling

Coming from a highly orthodox family belonging to the Vaishnavaites of the Hindu religion, you get to see a lot of portraits of the various incarnations, of lord Vishnu, around the house.
Most of these portraits will be the last known incarnations, Krishna and Rama.

I was just roaming around the house feeling bored...
I came by this particular portrait of Krishna... Then, I realized that all of the "Gods" portrayed, are done so in such a beautiful way...
Take a male god, and he will be the perfect man.
Take a female god, and she will be the perfect women.

I moved, and came to the mirror, fixed pretty close to the painting, and then I saw the ugliest thing, compared to the figures which were present in the painting.



It, really, may be the dumbest, stupidest thinking in the entire human race, but I personally feel jealous of the physical structures of the god...

Myths and epic tell of their great deeds and how they attracted everyone by their astonishing physique and destroyed the evil, which persisted in their era, using their incredulous power...

But then, comparing them to us, (read god's horcrux, as to why), all that we are left with, is the weak and the ugly. (Even if you ask a 10 time miss universe, she'll tell you she is not perfect when compared to her competitor).

I understand that the reason why the gods portrayed, are done so beautifully... It is because their inner-self is pure, which persists without any disorientation...
But, I, somehow, still have the grudge against it...

Why is that the god is so B-E-A-utiful, and the earthlings ugly?

Yea, yea...
It’s the inside character that matters and not the outside as the supreme don't have a physical structure.

If yes, then tell me why are you so obsessed to wear new clothes every season? I knew people who change their dress 3 times a day...
I even knew a few from the "ROYAL SOCIETY" who never wear the same, more than once...

The only good part in me is my face and my hair, which I admire most of the time...
The rest of the body is total chaos (Google "muscular dystrophy" under images).

If everything in this world is controlled by fate, then I'm pretty sure that, I'm made to have this thought in my mind, by the forces around and inside me.

If it's our inner mind that has been portrayed in the human form, then why not do so, as practical and as natural as that.
If our mind has already thought about these and yet still believes the old customs of God and religion, then it is really interesting to know that we are dependent on such ever changing mind, to live our daily lives.

It is true that, we all look upwards wondering when will, god come down and help us be better. But we fail to realize its god who is waiting.
It is us who have to come out and think beyond God.

I'm not obsessed with this thought of being ugly, but it keeps coming up each and every time I come around that particular painting and cross the mirror.

The ugly earthling...

And the only thing I've learnt till now is,
It's not the way you LOOK.
It's the WAY you look.

The Teenage Life

The teenage life.
Friends. Fun. Parties. Sleepovers. Hangovers. Long-drives. Boyfriends/Girlfriends. Gang clashes etc...

And to some, patriotism and spiritualism. But the majority wish the former.

And what about the things that teenagers don't wish for?

Well, here is one of them.
Being a teenager and being a handicap.
It definitely is not a thing that most of them wish for.

Its the toughest part of life where even the basic necessity of walking gets a big "NO".

You know people say... only when we loose or don't have something then we ponder over it and we realize how we miss it so much..
I have had a lot of...hmmmm... lets say inspirations... from a whole lot of persons.
But none of these has ever been permanent in my life.

One day I watch a Jackie Chan movie and I say I want speed and stamina like him.
The next day I watch a Vin Diesel movie and I say I need triceps like him.
Then one day I watch SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE then I say I wanna dance like him.
Then after sometime I watch TopGear and I say I wanna drift like him.

But am I able to do anything that I can do I said above?
The answer is yes...

I CAN DO IT IN MY DREAMS...
Which is why I love sleeping.

Doing things by following your heart will obviously result in others criticizing you. It makes you different from others. So it is pretty obvious.

In my school, I had a lot of people surrounding me in the name of Friends.
I was a nerd, I agree. But then thinking that they are good friends, I opened myself a little bit. Then?
All I went through was, 'Be used, and talk on my back'.
I came to know this after finishing school.

Hey, I am not perfect but who is? We all do silly things, it's that what makes us human.
Why did I do things, tagged silly?
Because I believed that I was one of them and believed to be treated equally. And these things, which I thought will be useful to them actually turned out to be the thing that they oppose.
But the truth was that I was never equal to them.
I was being ignored and treated a bit differently.

Yes. Ignorance is bliss. But being ignored doesn't make it one.

And only I know what I have been through. I went back to my shell again.
I refused to go to college, with fear of being used and get hurt again. I wasn't ready for another refusal.

And life went on.
Met new friends. Questioned directly to them about my position in their life. It did hurt them but all were taken lightly and life did go on.
Met my special someone. Got a different vantage point of my life and the world.

And now, all, I mean all, got down at their respective stations to carry on with their own life and here I am, sitting in my abode, building my future, by writing my past and got the status where I say,
"To a pro, I'm an amateur. And to an amateur, I'm the man."



P.S - @Arjun. When I wrote this post for the first time an year ago, it had a different ending. An ending totally different from where it started. Inspired by your post of your life, I changed the ending. I personally like it now.
Thanks mate. :)


P.P.S - I have Muscular Dystrophy. Go to MD wiki here.

Acceptance of Being

There is always the time where you meet a person and you tend to think that, by the way they treat you, he/she is your special someone. But that may not be the truth. They might just be another guy or girl in your life. It is really hard to find out, especially when you really like that person.

You get a lot of confusion in deciding what they actually are in your life. You keep contemplating your choices. At one time you will be convinced and will believe so blindly that they are meant for your life... But the next moment, something real bad happens and your explanation will not be entertained and you will consider them far away from where you want them to be.

Having a strong heart makes you go through most of the problems in life but having a very strong heart gets you to such a position that no one may care to ask whether you are hurt or not.

I am not pleading to anyone to ask whether I am hurt or not... At the same time, I am not god to accept, whatever the situation may be, as it is and move on.

You might say, that is why we have someone called FRIENDS. Yes there are friends... But it is a very much known fact that "THEY TOO HAVE A LIFE TO LIVE".

I am not being pessimistic. Our situations make us to accept to the fact that it is true. I kind of feel embarrassed to keep telling my friends my problem, instead of enjoying life with them. We might be cautious in choosing the people, who listen to us as friends, but that may not always be true. Friends are there, to catch everything that you throw at them. But they too are humans... They tend to miss out a few catches.

At that time you can depend on your special person. As only that special someone will stick up for you, no matter what the situation may be... And finding that special person needs courage and determination.

At some point, a situation may arise, where you are hurt by that special person... And friends are too busy to reach.

It is clearly not my present situation ANYMORE, because I just got a message from my friend that - "Hey! I am still alive... U need not apologize..."

But there are still millions, out there, who feel a 'little bit' like this... So what is the remedy for them?

I tried reading a few spiritual books, one of them being "The Power of Now". But even though I feel highly motivated after reading it, certain things happen, so immediately that you are pulled back to reality, the PRACTICAL WORLD. The only choice you have is to just witness what is happening, without having any opinion about it. As they say, "If you cannot defeat the enemy... Join him."

All you can do is accept who you are and what you are...

Even though I tried my best, I cannot find the best words to express my current state. But I am just writing this to feel light at heart.

God's Horcrux

A guy died one day and he reached heaven. And the guards at the heaven welcomed him to the parade as it was the God's birthday. So the guy went along.

First he saw the Jesus on a big chariot. Behind him were a million followers.

Next came Allah on a big chariot. Behind him were a million followers.

Next was the Buddha. Again behind him were a million followers.

Next was Krishna. Behind him were a million followers.

And... so came along the Gods of the world in the parade which went on for hours. And at last there came a man walking along with no followers. He was just walking all alone ignored by everyone.

The man then asked the guard who was that man walking all alone by himself. The guard replied...

"He is the actual god"......

I'm not saying that all you guys are following the wrong persons...

Jesus wanted to help people and he was desperate in making people know the truths of life...
Buddha sacrificed his kingly life to make people relieve from their sufferings. So he meditated for days and finally attained enlightenment... then using his knowledge preached what he realised...

They all wanted people to realise what life was and why we are here in this world. But what are we doing????

We just say he said this and he said that and he did that and that and we make "THEM" famous.... and we praise them.

Do you think that its what they wanted???

Fame and praise and dominance????

They gave up their whole life for the sake of people just to be fame????

All of you are preaching his teachings.....

But

DO YOU FOLLOW IT??????

All of you might have tried to follow the God's preachings...

But how many of you have tried to be GOD?????????

We all are a part of this world and the energy that runs our body is a part of the supreme energy that controls the entire universe...

So it directly implies that each and every one is God's HORCRUXES....

So its obvious that god has transferred some of his powers to us when he created us. So each and everyone in this world is capable of becoming God himself, you don't need to meditate to become god, you don't need to mug prayers to be god.

All you have to do is be yourself....

If you read this post with real interest then you don't have to anything...

Things will happen automatically...just pour in these information into you.. and the time will come when the event happens...

The 11th Hour

I was watching 11th hour movie narrated by Leonardo Di Caprio.

But before I proceed further. U have to read this.

Once there was a guy, living the typical life on the "FAST LANE". One day, as when he was leaving for the office, while accessing the elevator the security guard told this guy that he wasn't well that day as he looked dull and suggested that he would take a day off. But this guy wasn't ill and he said I'm alright and went on.

Then at the office parking space he met some his colleagues and they said too that he was not well and should have taken the day off. But he said he was alright and went on. But at this time he had a little doubt whether he was alright.

Then he went inside the office and again there his other mates again told him that he was not well. But now the guy was convinced that he was very ill. So he took the day off.

But by the time he reached his house he was very ill and couldn't even get out of the car. So then he was hospitalized and he touched the death door and came back.

Why am I telling all this???

This is because the human mind is the most complicated thing in the world. A bad influence from others can make a normal man to face his deathbed in just one day. so the human mind has that much power to make things happen.

So if we think that we are in the time which is 11:59:59, then we are in that time.

Problems of the world is not as great as you think it is.. One man say the world is facing a huge danger and he convinces a few and thats enough. These "FEW" will BELIEVE very strongly that the world is going to end and their mind will have tremendous effect on the world.

So the world's smallest problem will be blown into a mega size problem.

And if you want to believe that the world will live.

According to Indian mythology the universe was created by a god called "BRAHMA".. The universe will live as long as brahma lives and his life is estimated to be 100 years.. For him 1 day is supposed to be 1 'yuga'. in earth counting 1 yuga is supposed to be 432,000 earth years.and according to that calculation, brahma is on his 1st day of the 40th year.. so we still have minumum 59 brahma years to live.

So don't worry the earth won't die.

Earth has been in the world for ever and scientists have agreed to the evidence found that man had evolved millions of years ago.. so earth has enough "MATURITY" to take care of its own problems.

"MEN MAY COME AND MEN MAY GO, BUT THE EARTH GOES ON FOREVER"

All you have to do is to just think that there is no problem in earth.and that the earth is the most wonderful place to live on.
