INDIA-Gets better and better.


I believe we need to take out 60 minutes from our lives and really watch this video about India and its past. I say it is totally worth it. You might be bored with history but just watch this and see how our culture exceled from thousand centuries.
As a matter of fact, irrespective of the culture, learning something new and respecting is what we makes a difference.
Hopefully you will all enjoy the video.
INDIA!Not only religion, culture but the Greatest of science in simple words.

P.s- I don't promise you any 'MI:3'(Dissappointing movie, i heard) entertainment but people who come here to my blog, fishing for the 'food of thought'....this video is definently one of them.

LovE it or not but CompromisE it!


Do you ever look back and find that one question haunting you? Isn’t that question the one we all regret on or be happy about? We meet at cross roads and face the most important decisions of our lives. We tend to always see the two roads that lead to something. That something we aren’t still aware of because we haven’t made the decision of which road to take. The road we finally decide to take and see that something, do we meet that something and say ‘oh you are the one I was waiting for’ or say ‘damn! You are all get for coming here’. The circumstances I guess varies and decisions we take influences us to walk to that path. Well do we have any regrets for some of the decisions you guys took in the past? Is it worth cribbing about it and pondering the same question tag ‘why’ again and again? I believe in the saying that ‘Have no regrets in life, coz it’s not worth it’. I tend to easily say this but maybe when I look back on some of my decisions, I don’t always have a smile on my face. But I do look content enough coz that taught me something. Well, this is not exactly the topic I wanted to get to but ‘my thought never hold back’ so let them flow. Let’s come down to what I actually want to blog today.
As I am creature of ‘questions’, I ask myself how we are bond to such beautiful things in life but sometimes our ego fails to show us the reality? Can we fight that ego of ours and say ‘dude! Off with you I have a life to lead’. According to the Bhagavad-Gita (Holy book of the Hindus), it says that ego is one of the things that detours a man on his path to ‘Nirvana’! Nah, it’s not the rock band, well money and time detours getting to Nirvana, the Rock band. Well coming back the Gita also says something beautiful… ‘Don’t expect and you never will be disappointed’, Attachments are the cause of all misery’s, work your arse off and leave the results to come. Yeah sure that’s my version of the Gita, only if Lord Krishna used slang like this, would have been much cooler ;). Anyways the one that interests me the most is ‘Attachments being the cause of all misery’. Well I so want to agree to it coz ‘been there done that’ but also want to stand up to the lord and say dude!! That’s not true. Hmmm…this issue was actually bought up by a dear friend. He called his mom loving him unconditionally ‘a misery’ to him; Well, sorry not misery but I just wanted to relate the feeling to the saying in the Gita; hope you guys understand what I mean. Again, being loved and loving somebody is definitely an awesome feeling but what if this love forces you into things that you don’t want. The word love and compromise actually co-exist I think. Should anybody be loved or love just to wake up one day to write down a list of compromises he or she has to start working on. Is that sort of love actually called ‘love’ or is it just ‘getting used’? My friend was actually right; we see that unconditional love in someone for us or same towards someone else that every step we take doesn’t only affect our life(singular) but lives of maybe 5 people. I am talking about the unconditionally loved people. Lucky you!! If the number is larger but equally gruesome when you just want to go and lead your life.
I had to think of number of people i would put into worry when I had to ‘bungee jump’. I hope my dad doesn’t call me up after this sentence. But I did the jump, coz I wanted to do it all my life but before I took the leap I had a hundred pro’s and con’s in my head. Not con’s about my life, yeah sure!!It was dangerous but the thought of all the people who mean a lot to me and would I cause them pain when I do this. These things brushed through my mind first rather than wondering if the cord is strong enough to hold me. Well…..Hauptsache (important) I did it, I survived.
Well what is life? If you want to live it but need to think of thousand excuses to just live it. So do I agree with my friend, yeah sure!!! but hang on…I am not that easy, I can look through the other side of the wall as well….you know:) Just read on you will soon see what I see. SO is it right to be held back because 'love exists'? Or should you consider yourself happy that you are one of them who as seen, felt, experienced love? Unlike the millions of the homeless orphans who have no go, no say and indeed feel lost and lost the right to live. What is life if not loved by somebody or not to love somebody? Do we walk out on this feeling just coz ‘crazier version of human beings like me’ just have the ‘high for life’!!!?
Exactly coming back now, this is what I was talking about the misery attachment in the Gita, well it’s not exactly misery but also not exactly something you pop open a beer bottle to celebrate on rather it does indeed cause pain. Coz’ your are held back and you start working up on compromises, does this make you a better human being or just someone out there who wants to be noticed (philosophically). SO, love causes pain, brings tears, does hold us back but still we can NEVER avoid it nor walk away from it. We get addicted to it, because the feeling is better than Marijuana. Let is just be my dad calling to check how I am doing or sis buzzing me on yahoo to bug me so I smile at her silliness or my friend asking if I had dinner (otherwise he will want to come over and eat if I did cook :D) Things like love unconditional ones, you know it that the feeling is so beautiful that we are okay with inviting some misery into our lives to just have it.
Okay I took a small ice cream break and now my thoughts are mixed up and don’t know exactly what I was supposed to write in. So that’s it for now, will write in more soon.

Don’t run away from love, dwell a lil in the ‘misery’, it’s worth it.
*No pain no gain
This reminds me, dont experience love and walk away from it, your decision but...do walk into the 'love parade' in Berlin this July.


P.s- This one is for my dad, who doesn’t say it much but I know the ‘unconditional nature of his love’ towards me:) Love you dad.

LoVe, Life and the Moment


I am looking outside my train window, a beautiful view of the green Mountains, typical colonial houses and the perfect combination of clouds. I smile looking at the view, I enjoy the moment, ‘at the same time’ Pyar ke pal’ (Moments of love) playing on my MP3 song by KK. Amazing song, well he sings about how we are supposed to always enjoy the moment and reminds that if u let go off this moment coz of 10,000 things fro tomorrow, then you may never have this moment back. Let it be smiling at someone walking on the road, winking at that ‘cute guy’ on the street or just saying ‘Hello!’ to your neighbour. Well we have no idea how much thee small actions can affect the life’s of someone or our own. I don’t know about the ‘winking at the cute guy, consequences ;)’ but trust me the rest stated will work just fine and would actually make someone’s day.
Like I wrote a few days earlier that we run so fast that we always tend to forget the simple beautiful things like this never cross our mind. I just realised that a thought of someone or something would bring a smile on my face. Only if I cud hold on to this moment for ever but reality drops in….well then I just enjoy the moment not exactly thinking about that tomorrow. I may sound a lil ‘cuckoo headed’ and dreamy eyed but people come on face the fact, don’t you rather just go and kiss that someone special tonight for all the things they have bought into your life’s rather than arguing about ‘When Saddam’s going to be hanged?’. Well they are important issues as well but in the today we live in, I can always say that we live in a very uncertain tomorrow. So go and hug your kids, kiss your loved one’s and cook for your friends (don’t kill them with your cooking…only advised if you are a god cook). Do something that says ‘You are not that prick waiting for someone to Shove a NUKE bomb up your arse. Well trust me those days not very far away.
Well thinking about enjoying the moment and loved ones, I can’t stop notice my fellow passengers on the train seem to be love birds. I can’t stop from over hearing their conversation coz they are indeed pretty loud. This makes me wonder again, ‘Is there anything called True Love’? Because I still fail to understand the soul mate concept. I think two people meet and we work on something…’call it a relationship’…together and discover along time that we fit in the ‘profile and then love happens’. I also listen to guys saying…’dude it was love at first sight’!!! She was a bomb bro…!! Hmm…typical youth conversation…well that makes me question as well what if there was no sight in the first case at all but the chemistry and the connection. Does it matter? We all know that the initial likeness towards someone always comes from the ‘looks’ At least it is indeed one of the compelling factor for anything to grow out. But what if one overpasses that phase and connects first. What then? We all know for the fact that ‘ at the end of the day…we all tend to grow one day older and uglier…hmm…well not if u plan on to get implants like Pamela Anderson;)`. No I mean on a general note, our skin does begin to deteriorate someday but why we still tend to look up at the ‘bootylicious’ factor first and then the rest? So back to the point, is there any possibility that one could meet a person one day (or not necessarily meet) who doesn’t stimulate your senses or hormones by the touch or the looks but is capable enough to stimulate your thoughts and feelings? If I am not wrong, I guess this is what people tend name it ‘SAPI sexuality’. I guess we all tend to overlook at this factor in the initial phases but according to my reviews about relationships, love, like call it whatever I have seen, the case with the mind stimulation works out much more fascinating then one can imagine. Well this is this case two people just don’t tend to smile for the heck of it but actually smile coz that’s hat they feel towards life maybe or even each other. This feeling ladies and gentleman is a hard price to pay for. Only if we had Supermarkets selling them!!
I must say I still have my doubts when one of my girlfriend talks about her version of the perfect man. Hmm what is perfect I ask myself, does it lie in the looks or in the thoughts? The whole package is always amazing to enjoy on but come only that was true. Well her definition of perfect might be ‘Blond, blue eyes’ and mine ‘dark and with wits’ so…again we are bought up with a pre-conceived notion of perfect. This is the one of the words that no dictionary can actually define it for you coz it always has a different meaning to every individual. You never know ‘perfect’ really until you bump into that one person, who makes you realise that ‘ imperfections in him/her is what makes him/her perfect’. Well as always I loose out on the actual topic I was talking about but no my fault. It’s just the flow of thought and the movement in my fingers. The connection seems to be unbroken and the many questions I asked in between are for you guys fill in and comment about. Coz every article makes or doesn’t make sense but always a purpose/meaning to it. See if you can find yours in this ‘maze’.

Someone very dear to me said this
‘You like some one for their Perfections and you love some one inspite of their imperfections’. Give it a thought...
