Who is this God person anyway?

      Probably there is no God, enjoy your life : read the quote on the side of bus, Volvo buses nowadays have lot of good advertisements these days which just captures the attention. Although many people just don’t care what microprocessor is running in their laptop, but everyone likes a take a look at Intel’s upcoming processor. As I looked at this quote I began to wonder, was this an advertisement for selling happiness, was this an add to not to make money or sell any product but some what bring about atheism or just a message “take a break dude, chill out, enjoy ! ”




Different cultures have different assumptions on histories of God

Seems like true sometimes, owing to the fact that we can never figure out what or who actually is God. Is this universe itself God. Then we humans being a part of the universe are also part of God. We too are divine in one form & hence everyone can worship oneself.





History & mythology is overloaded with innumerable concepts about God. All civilizations had to introduce God in their culture & tradition. No one could dare to run their society in good manner without the concept of God. All civilizations spent a lot of their efforts to build magnificent temples, conduct poojas.





In India, Indus valley civilization the oldest running civilization ever has innumerable cultures & traditions & hence many many concepts about god.

India is called a land of snake charmers, since it was a profession, so considered holy & divine & worshipped in the form of God. Then came the industrialization .the tools which provided livelihood in factories machinery etc were worshipped as God. Ayudha pooja what we call.

Escape

Is life = func(obligations) ?
       I had a busy day, day out with friends & must admit I had to post something hurriedly for the competition, these hang outs are uncommon in my friend's circle, though we are in 20's something guys & like talking about various flowers in the world, but we fall in the category of responsible middle-class, middle-aged-youth software professionals where marriage is on hit list, & as usual jumping companies like Spiderman, so that we can do the best in terms of earning money & learning new technologies, thus trying hard to maintain balance between professional life & personal life & never find time to have reunion with good old buddies. Life is not like a simple see saw maintaining balance with these two alone. There are dreams, aspirations, hobbies, which may not have turned into career owing to some conditions. I was thinking of coming up with some good concept about 'escape' since this morning. All I could come up was that first line 'life is a function of obligations'. But, when I went out with my friends, these thoughts vanished & I was just enjoying the flow, no office worries, no house obligations, just a carefree perspective towards things coming along. Probably this was an escape from daily life of office chores. This weekend was certainly an escape from stress in my case. I asked my friend what is your instant thought, when I say the word 'Escape', he told the Escape of key of keyboard. Unlike his thought, my initial thought was the great escape of Shawshank from jail (movie: Shawshank Redemption). Truly, What a great movie that was! So, wondering what makes me truly liberated & blissful something similar to feeling when Shawshank had after escaping form jail & the dialog "Andy Dufresne... who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side". This is one of my favorite dialogs. So, what is my 'other side’? This weekend or holiday trip spent with friends? Is it a silly lie to my manager & a break from normal office day? A day spent with beloved talking her shopping & fancy restaurants or a movie? Quality time spent with family & friends? A random reading of good blogs (am now fascinated with blog world after being obsessed with Hollywood flicks & chicks for nearly 4 years now). I was just enlisting the possibilities where I may feel liberated. But, since I am crazy about astronomy, I think I would like to take a break & spend some time reading a poplar astronomy book or listen to podcasts of some physics professor or hang out for star party with my friends form club (http://www.bas.org.in/), break my head on concepts of theoretical astrophysics, write down some more weird thoughts in my never-finding-time to-continue book 'Beyond your thoughts' etc. Yes, this constitutes my escape, may not be exciting to many, as few people are interested in astronomy stuff. I wonder what escape means to others in sense of spending spare time. I am sure, everyone has a escape in sense of spending spare time. Do let me know in comments section. This will be a good insight.
      In philosophical realms, I don't mind taking a break & running away form realities of life, family obligations, office chores once a while giving myself time to do the things I like to do. I think the take away more important then winning or loosing this competition is insight it has brought me & clearer sense of understanding about the things which keeps me moving. Thanks blog-a-ton for providing this opportunity.

I wanna run away form this reality as fast as I can…
Escape into my little wonderland, where anything is possible
Only to return back into real world & embrace reality more strongly
For now, I know that the escape is not an escape but just an insight into my own self.


PS: A star party, a term in realms of amateur astronomy is one in which people fascinated to watch the night sky or interested in observational astronomy spend night watching the sky somewhere outskirts of city with telescopes & binoculars. This basically involves identifying constellations, spotting & observing stars, planets, double clusters, open clusters, nebulae, galaxy clusters, comets etc with telescopes. Applying the knowledge of observational astronomy & Optics for observing many of these things I just like to fall asleep just for a couple of hours before day break wondering about the mysteries of cosmos.

It was the time for our last good bye !

As she disconnected from me

without telling a reason,

without a hint of what went wrong

Leaving me bewildered & wondering in agony

I was sure we could work things out

whatever they were, with minor adjustments

I could change myself completely for her

I could have gone extra miles for setting things right

As I always knew I was not the perfect one for her

But I knew deep within, that this was not the reason,

a reason she preferred not to reveal

But I know for sure there was some other reason

a reason beyond my awareness,

a reason she never wanted me to know

I knew without a doubt that she could never be unfaithful

just fighting hard to accept her destiny as mine.   

probably it was an obligation

a compromise included in her destiny

But I know she could never have never been unfaithful to me

As she went ahead

She turned to look at me one last time

With tears in her eyes, & a trembling smile

Telling the obvious truth

It was not her choice to depart

But the result of embracing her destiny

I wish I could her hug her for one last time

as she kissed goodbye from a distance apart

For the miles we walked together seemed infinitesimally small

there was still a long way ahead, in the wonderland of our dreams

in the beautiful & abundant life

in the life awaiting to make our dreams come true

My heart was sealed for her

I thought of none except her

The faith & trust which kept our love alive

I know, i can never love anyone that way

As our love was most pure & eternal

With her gone & with unwilling desire to move on

I just have one small wish left.

I just wish her pain reduces

Suppressing the wish, she could be mine again

to live the promises we made long before

which seem to now disappear in vain

I know you will not return baby

I know we can never be together again

But I will keep waiting for you now & for ever

You can find me at cross roads where we separated

I will be there until the end of time waiting for you to return

Coz that’s the only thing which makes sense

In this life which is meaningless without you.

I know you can never be mine

Still I refuse to accept this reality

For what’s left after this

Is a sense of void without even a silly hope of your return?

The last flower from you will wither in my book

though the memories of our time together will remain afresh in my heart

there is nothing other than memories to move on in life

rather feels to move backward to relive the moments we were together.

Just once again.

I feel so cold inside

Missing all the warmth of love & care within

For there are only memories to recall

The ones to cherish for the remaining lifetime

Sometime’s life is bit unfair

Depriving small aspirations too,

For all the love we shared , I think destiny was more than generous

But this is just not the way I wanted it to end

I wish she could be mine forever,

Hopefully I could run into her in next lifetime

Hope she recognizes me then

For I will the same as I am now

Her mad lover boy. 

Loving her more than anything else.

I will miss you deeply, deep within my hearts

Amidst all these thoughts, as I realize the obvious truth

I feel a sense a soothing, a relaxed breadth in eternal bliss

For I know for sure that our destiny is not written separately

within no time, we shall be together

high up in the sky, just like a binary star

I will be yours & you will be mine

Pyar ke rahon mein chalna tumne sikhaya....

Pyar ke haseen ehsaason ke sapne sajana tumne sikhaya....

Zindagi ke najane kis ajeeb mod pe, jab tum chal diye apne raaste, tanha hum reh gaye...

Tere intezaar mein hum khade hai unhe raahon mein, jahan hum judaa ho gaye.....

Amen




PS: the situation is lady love departing from his lover, owing to her some unknown obligation in her life, the concept in last stanza is based on thought somewhere i read in a book or saw in a movie that "when a person dies, they become a star" So i extended it to lovers i.e binary stars(close stars revolving around each other, bound together by gravity or love in this case :-) Ya somewhere had to bring the amateur astronomy touch & feel to this post as well :-))

Missing childhood !

I wanna feel young again  

I wanna play in the rain

to wash away all the pain

to relive the innocence once again

for the youth that doesn't make sense anymore

for the lost dreams in life's obligations

for the compromises made with oneself for making life seem alright

for living life right from other’s perspective.

for all the sacrifices done which feel worthless now,

for all the such things & many more, was the pleasure gained worth the pain ?   

i just wanna be myself, to relive the innocence of childhood,

to hug to my mom every time I am scared.

I wanna feel young again,

I wanna fly the paper aeroplanes from roof of my house,

I wanna maneuver the paper boat in the rain water lanes

I wanna run in the garden, catching butterflies
I wanna fly my kite high in the sky 

for the life in 20's something, nothing seems to be in my control,

only a desperate feelings to take control of things all around me

which seems to fall apart..

I wanna feel kid once again…

I wanna carelessly ride my bicycle

knowing dad 's always there to lift me up when I fall

I wanna jump around doing nothing all the day

As I know, just can’t do it anymore,

I just wanna return to the childhood innocence once again,

to feel the bliss of being a care-free naughty kid !

I wanna return to that life where all the small things created excitement. Eating from tiffin boxes of friends, getting new compass box, taking something interesting to class everyday like pencil, stickers, toy, magnet, a new key chain etc. I am struck with blackberry & apple organizing my daily activities on them, I just wanna return to time when I could just simply eat them. There was a time I could play F1 sitting on the floor whole day with all my toy cars. I just wanna pretend crying for no reason at all & mom consoling me for hours taking me in her lap. I just wanna live life once again, Amen !


Oh Childhood can you come just once again please !
