The Real Inception!!!!!

The title remain inconclusive...

Lot of things are happening around and they were apt to be titled this way...

To be on a more personal note I am not finding it worth enough to stay in the lifestyle that has taken the center stage of every individual....

I watched a movie named "Aashayein" and in the end it conveyed one simple message. A duel between "was" and "is", between "to be" or "not to be"... The movie used concept of death to really bring out the reality or the real meaning of life...

Fast real fast is what it is now used to describe the "need" ...Every one needs things or the output very fast to save time but then the time that is saved is redirected to another "need"...Wow why so eager to finish of time when you have lot of things to do in this saved time... Not to forget the fact that "Wants" have replaced "Needs". There used to be a thin line between them some time back, but in this age of technological and economical upwardness the line seemed to be somewhat distorted and people are easily converging those two into one. All things seems to be affordable now, but then What is actually affordable is still a question to ponder upon?? I seriously doubt whether "mental peace" fall in that list...

Slowly, ya the word is correct "Slowly" is what I am made to think what's the outcome of all this fast forwardness... and I am slowly loosing the real concept around which this world is shaping out. Am I being left out?? or am I afraid to join this run for time??? Like the movie Matrix , I am waiting to be unplugged. Now you think I am really insane but my insanity is not driven by some other factor other than that I am insane by choice for this world not that world is making me insane. BTW what is Sanity??? Does Sanity means do things what others do or think the way what other people think... Then do we need a brain if we all are programmed to think the same way?? 

Why I want to be seriously unplugged???

Need a reason for that?? Then here are some...

* Isn't life a compromise: compromise for the real dream with the real world reality?? Or is it really a real world reality??

* Happiness quotient is defined on a world scale where simple and calm thinking is replaced by a greater world thinking....

*  Being individual is to be someone out of group rather than one more brain to think the same way...

The reasons can go on on but then who is gonna number them when it always comes to the process of  reducing the number of constraints...

Am I thinking too much or am I dreaming???
Wherein all the projections of this dream life is converging on me???
Am I dreaming for myself or am I in some one else's dream???
Might be thinking this person has gone mad?? But then that thought is yours, not mine....

Nothing's Changed

Nothing's changed.These were the words that I ushered in my heart when I got down at station.On my way home I cud see the cosmetic changes all around the places but the mentality of the people still remained same. I think I am far too speculative in expecting that things will change in a matter of 6 months. What change did I expected to see or whether really I wanted to see any change at all, I dunno. But I was damned happy that life is still slow back in my hometown. Slow not in the sense of development but slow in the terms of people's attitude towards the fast furious world outside.

There was an religious function at home and I was quite amused by the way people got involved in that. From kids to old, from family to neighbors and all people in the neighborhood, all were equally enthusiastic about the function. It has nothing to do with the religion other than that it is related to a ceremony in our family temple, what I am trying to portray is the culture and traditions associated with the function.

Kids n youngsters were the persons who were more into it with elderly person closely watching their deeds. They were all around the place encouraging things in a good manner. Glad that this generation back in our village is not glued to their Cell Phones and TV, its not that they didn't have them , it's that they know how to value things. Its a very close knit network where everyone knew everyone else. And most important was that people knew the difference between blind rituals and cultural tradition.

No matter how descriptive I try to be, the real thing can only be felt only if we were present there.But then I still have to try at least. This time things seems to give a broader perspective when I analyzed how small things can matter to you in your life. And by small things I meant the moments which we would have easily overseen when compared to materialistic benefits we get from it. If we go for a reason or cause then we can easily subdue their importance but once you forget comparing or reasoning you will amazed with the amount of happiness and satisfaction this moments has in store for you.

This time I didn't want things that I scribble in here to be anywhere near to be a travelogue coz I have wrote them enough. This time I just wanted it to be a simple reminder of what it actually means to be in the wilderness and simplicity of life.

Diwali's Round the Corner!!!

A "Boom" sound woke me up from my evening sleep. I was wondering what's happening but it didnt took long to understand that Diwali(Deepawali) is round the corner, 4 days to be precise. So it has all started, the celebrations , the festival shopping, the sweets collection and the all usual favors of celebrating Festival of lights....

Festival of light has in one way or another gave way to festival of sound... Fireworks ,crackers took the major portion of the way of celebrations nowadays. Earlier it was sparkles in the dark night which marked the Diwali but now its sound of crackers that marks the beginning...

This would be my first Diwali in Delhi and I feel it is already loosing its charm from my point of view. I havent done any of the rituals(Shopping for sweets or fireworks) till now and I am not planning to do it this year as of now.. Dunno whether things will change in coming 2-3 days. I am not so sure coz as the day nears my mind may dwindle towards the idea of celebrating.

Last year back in Mumbai it was an hell of celebrations. Really enjoyed the way we did it last time. We cooked ,drank, bursted crackers but the thing that I enjoyed the most was watching the night sky twinkling with all colors of life from our roof top. It was calm peaceful and definitely was a superb treat to the eyes. The way flares split up and spread across the dark space above was worth watching. With the never emptying glasses and running from one corner to the other just to catch the glimpse of lights, I celebrated my Diwali last year... It was fun and I would remember that for years to come...

In fact of the three years I was in Mumbai, the last year was the best I cud ever have. Hoping this time the national capital has more to offer. May be I am far too speculative, that was what my brother told me as he suggested me to play the wait and watch game coz things are gonna turn like anything once Diwali comes around. Hope it surprises me...

De beauty of being an Monument...

If someone asks me where's my favorite hangout place in New Delhi, only one place comes to my mind.....A place that can be described in thousands of ways but I wud prefer to stick to the basic description of that and that is :it is the national monument of India. It is one of the largest war memorials in India. Hope you got it...Its our own India Gate(IG).

I cant say exactly what makes me so fond of this place, anytime of the day or night, I wud be more than happy to go there.. Specially late nights.. When it glitters like Gold.. A special feeling creeps up inside and I suddenly feel proud to be an Indian.It doesn't means that I am not proud of being an Indian, but there are definitely many reasons which make me say that I am not that proud to be an Indian. For instance, Poverty, Corruption..(ya I remember the dialog from movie Rang De Basanti:No Nation is perfect, the citizens has to make it perfect..Ha ha ha.. even if our leaders get a perfect state they will make it imperfect in a matter of moments , hence we can surely leave aside "making it a perfect" responsibility), the list will never end. But I am really proud to be a part of the world most culturally diversified society.

Aren't we diverting from our topic. India Gate have always made me wonder, made me feel more like an Indian, made me leave aside all the negative things that looms around the country, reminds me of the love and sacrifice of countless soldiers who laid down their life in a fight to protect our freedom, who laid down their life in the process of making the country a perfect one.

I was kinna glad that this Independence Day, my mailbox wasn't filled with a single mail regarding Independence. It did made me think that may be people have understood the fact that it not just about sending some forwarded mails or may be they didn't get time at all to forward anything.Whatever may be the reason I didn't need a reminder for celebrating our Independence. I celebrated it a special way.. a special way to myself..I went to IG and stood there for dunno how much time.. just staring at the monument and the people around it admiring its value and its timeless beauty.

"There are things that you feel that can't be described" , and I think of this phrase each and every time I visit IG.
