  • Is He dead?

    doing a lil bit of analysis to find the functional tendencies of the Almighty, if He were like a new age organisation, he should be having some sort of a customer feedback mechanism..either He hasnt got one, or it isnt functioning properly…. higher grounds of moral/spiritual thoughts aside, a large majority of people wouldnt be happy with what god gave them on their plate, and they cant be blamed….and who in hell (no pun intended) is the signing auhority these days on our fate, individual and combined….. who decides that most people, when they grow old, have to become vulnerable to the vagaries of their offspring or fate, or both?…. who decides that some new born infants have to be deprived of parentship?… who decides that people who love may not be loved?….who decides who is born rich and who is is born poor?…..who decides luck?….who decides that tears are necessary in life?….who decides that natural calamities have to take away what people slaved for and saved?….who decides the right time to die?…. who decides to make psychopaths and autistic people?…..who decides who should be a cat, dog, monkey etc. ?… who decides that people be born blind/deaf/dumb and not experience things people around them can (there could be an argument that they are lucky)…..who decides that life isnt fair?…who decides that man shouldnt know the purpose of his life?…..if i were part of a rebirth cycle, isnt it only fair that i know my account balance during each birth… if there was no rebirth, then why arent i given the place of someone i wish i were??…personally, on the whole, i am happy with the way my life is shaping up, but what about the less fortunate ones?since there is hardly any trace of fairness left in this world, i have to conclude that He is dead….. but manuscrypts trivia isnt
    check this out, its an interesting read, even if you arent part of the corporate scheme of things.

  • The Divine brief

    This is the problem when you break a routine, it is difficult to get back into it……..once upon a short time ago, i used to make the blog a part of my everyday routine, but i took a break, and now i cant get back to it…..its a different issue altogether whether the constraint is ability or desire……..
    saw two movies this weekend, “the league of extraordinary gentlemen” and “calcutta mail”….the former was very good, though the movie was a lil bit too centred around sean connery, i dont know if i am having an indian bias when i say that naseeruddin shah was a bit sidelined, but considering that almost all the transportation of the league was taken care of by him ( there was this scene when he shows (i think) sawyer, a car, and says “i call this an automobile”, and sawyer asks, ‘yeah, but what is it?”..) i think part of the movie’s charm was its 1899 setting……”calcutta mail” was also good…it had shades of sudhir misra’s earlier movie “is raat ki subah nahi”, but still i think the kolkata visuals and a good performance from anil kapoor made up for it…
    i read somewhere that “kal ho na ho” is a remake of ‘anand’, the hrishikesh mukherjee movie with rajesh khanna and amitabh bachan, whatever i heard of the title track is good, cds release this 27th, i think i will buy it…also want to check out ‘tehzeeb’, since the music is by rehman…
    now , if you wondering what the title was all about, for any project undertaken, theres a brief given, so before earth getting created God must have got a brief….if we could get that brief, a lot of ‘why’ questions about this world would be answered…..for copyrights purposes, although i had this idea some time ago, the immediate inspiration to mention it came from a site i mentioned in my last blog……………reminds me of the song by joan osborne “what if god were one of us?………..”okay, thats enuff for the day, here’s

    a good forward i got….There’s a bunch of doctors gathered together at a doctor’s convention one night. A male doctor notices a female doctor from across the room. The female doctor notices also and the next thing you know, they’re sitting next to each other by the end of dinner.After dinner, the male asks the woman if she wants to go up to his hotel room. ’’Sure,’’ the woman says. ’’Let me go wash my hands first.’’After she washes her hands, they make love. After they are finished, she washes her hands again.This is really starting to annoy the male doctor so he says, ’’You know, you must be a surgeon, because you keep washing your hands.’’Angry at this remark, the woman says, ’’Well, you must be an anesthesiologist, because I didn’t feel a thing!’’

  • 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”………….

    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”

  • Spiritual Fugitive

    That is inspired by an article i read, the link for which i got from a good find i made, no, that would be credit misplaced, actually it found me… so guys, check out this blog of Deki , it makes very interesting read…..so back to the title, it refers to me at some stage of my life, actually i think, applicable even now, to some extent… the stage when i dont want to explicitly acknowledge the presence, relevance or influence of God in my life, but at the same time will not, rather, dare not denounce his existence completely…..i still experience the phase now, especially when i feel that life isnt fair..and promptly thank god, when the feeling has passed..hehe….
    these phases usually also mean that i spend time staring at the sky, trying to fathom my place in the scheme of things – you know, earth out of billions of planets, india out of hundreds of countries, bangalore out of …..the purpose existence at all, and sometimes i wonder, is the purpose of life, living itself? are we trying to attribute too much to it……hmmmmm
