  • Mind your language

    we are constantly thinking, arent we, i mean we like to think that we do…….did we think when we were babies? or rather, do babies think? …i would like to get some info on that, to answer the question ‘do we need to know a language to think?”..when we think now, it is most probably in our mother tongue…mind you, i am talking of ‘thinking’ and not memories, dreams and other assorted metaphysical feelings…..a couple of sites you should check out, one is a desi one, check it out here…..theres another nice concept i got from this site, will write about it tomorrow…the other site you should check out is definitely cool, especially in this age of multimedia games, joysticks and hi funda graphics….check it out here, and now for manuscrypts trivia
    “One of the tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon – instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today”…Unknown

  • Like the legendary phoenix

    pooh, as if, right? but i have to say something when i am making a return into normal blogging life……now what has been happening, no, dont yawn yet, you know i dont write long stories.. had been gone on an outdoor trip as part of a training program in my company, then went home, as in what in desi language we call ‘native place’….and like every story has some villanous shades too, when i came back from all this, there was a pile of work waiting for me………
    though i had never made a proactive decision, when i did get a chance to be completely offline, i took it, just to make sure that i wasnt on an addiction.. hehe
    so this one is just to stave off those obituary notes, not that i think anyone would have written them…. global thoughts, personal idiosyncrasies, mundane observations, trivia..all from tomorrow…..ah, its good to be back.. 🙂

  • Beings in Parallel planes

    Watch a line of ants in your room…………..they use only one sense to move around (from what we see), the moment we draw a line across their line, there is major confusion , and some time later, everything is back to normal……ants stay in and around the same house, that is their universe….now draw a parallel with us, humans, we have some sense organs which we use to find our way around, (i am not talking physical here)……we have disruptions too, which cause major confusion…we stay in and around the same planet ( some lucky dudes get to go to the moon)….to most of us, this is the universe….. we are gigantic beings when compared to ants….do you think there is someone watching?? :-)…. like i read somewhere..” just because we cannot see the pattern does not mean the pattern does not exist”………….
    manuscrypts trivia
    just a fwd i got………….
    A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull. He runs over and startsfighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl’s life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says:”You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: “Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl” The man says: – “But I am not a New Yorker!””Oh then it will say in newspapers in the morning: ‘Brave American saves life of little girl’” – the policeman answers. “But I am not an American!” – says the man. “Oh, what are you then?” The man says:- “I am a Pakistani!” The next day the newspapers says: “Islamic extremist kills American dog. Connections to terrorist networks are being explored”

  • Sitting Ducks

    i am experiencing what might be termed as blog fatigue, basically i think i am trying to couch my laziness in a mouthful of jargon…hehe…read a couple of blogs that have commented on the blasts in mumbai…..i honestly dont understand why we are so passive about it, as a country, life goes on as normal, remember 9/11, sure you do, its a global phenomenon, we have had worse death counts, but never marketed so well..btw, the US calls it collateral when the deaths arent US citizens….they created a war based on it, and none of the world had any balls to do anything about it…
    everyone and anyone can safely guess that there is a pak hand in what happened in Mumbai, now and before…for once why cant we be like an israel or the US, blast the guys and then have ‘bilateral talks’…..i used to trust RAW once, not now……now , we are all sitting ducks hoping and praying that we are not in the next lot of casualties, there is another prayer along with it, that it rains fire in karachi, lahore, islamabad…………

  • We forget

    i have been reading ‘where the rain is born’…its a collection , i found a lil part in a particular piece that i found very thought provoking…will give you the gist…long before man started ruling the earth, long before the giant lizards, two spores set out on an incredible journey, after some time they came to a lush green valley, the younger spore said ‘lets journey on further, and see more wonders’, the elder one said ‘i’m too tired, i will stay here, you carry on, but promise me you will never forget me’..the younger one said, ‘forget you, impossible’…the elder one replied, ‘this is the loveless journey of karma, you will…’…..and so the younger one journeyed on…eons and eons later, in the lush green valley, the elder spore had spread its roots deep into the earth, and had flowered….. a lil girl, all dressed up and looking pretty came to pluck some flowers …… the man who came with her, pulled a twig down so that she could pluck the flowers…as she was plucking the flower, the elder spore cried, ‘ah, little sister, you have forgotten me’….
