Onam and a torrent of thoughts......


Its Onam time and time for celebration.... and reflection...
Onam is a time for people to enjoy and part of the festival is getting new dresses and having a hearty special meal with lots of food........
So.... Onam is coming in a few days and Today the city was stuffed.It took 2 hrs to go travel
10 km! Better walk! So, the reflection? The real onam is celebrated as somewhat of a harvest festival and is a time of prosperity even though the stories give different mythical meanings to it.Today's traffic block was due to Onam shopping but the question is "Does that make any sense when everyone buys dresses everyday?"

The Onam Feast or "Sadhya" is a really something to be reckoned with.Some 20+ items of food.... Today I had a modernized versions of it and then realised how refined and balanced the traditional order was.Eating the traditional one was satifying but the new one? It really lacks the charm......

So, the point of the whole post? Think before you follow a tradition... or changing it
Each one has a reason for existance and it might still be valid or not but its our duty to recognize if it is still valid.Keep your wits about......

Which is worse????????

Having exams and I almost screwed up my yesterday's exam...........
But for better or for worse,I don't know which, even though the exam was bad I don't feel bad about it!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it was that movie (Hindi) "Jab We Met" (translates to "when we met",or something like that) the other day. Leaving all the rest the main theme was "Live our life to the fullest ,you don't know how its going to end up,so enjoy it , don't worry about the future and do what you enjoy that way you won't have to blame somebody else even if your life goes haywire ... Pretty good message I think and a good movie too.........

Well, anyway I going to take in that message and not worry about the past...........

Exams Up and Disappointed.......

Exams are up and I'm disappointed and No! ,its not about my studies its about THE system. Nowadays , education is not aimed at knowledge but rather marks, after all , who wants knowledge when you can have marks without it?

Teachers are frantic,parents are frantic and students are frantic, all to get good marks. Students are trained but only to answer particular types of questions that are EXPECTED. Nothing else matters as long as they are able to answer these questions. The concept may not be clear but the syllabus has to be stuck to so run along even if you have no idea what that last chapter was all about.

The question I ask "Is that enough?" To me ,NO.The world has grown so much that we do not give much thought to what is Happening to US. Most just go along with flow,the strong currents of the world grabbing everyone they see along the way and pulling them into the same huge river they are trapped in. The world prefers "conformity" as the movie Dead Poet's Society suggests.Rudyard Kiplings creation Mowgli was later introduced to the vilage and the people tried to make him civilised and the same we see in most stories of fiction and reallife. The ones who get sucked in stay unkown and the world ignorant of hteir talents.THe ones who dared to resist the flow and think beyond stay atop and We know them as the great ones..........

So THINK BEYOND ,DON'T FALL PREY TO THE WORLD.........

PS. Just put that pic because it caught my imagination .

A movie with moving thoughts.........

The other day,I was just watching the movie ,Dead Poet's Society and some particular points touches me very much ,especially these

"I always thought the idea of education was to learn to think for yourself. "

"There's a time for daring and there's a time for caution, and a wise man understands which is called for. "

"Dangers of Conformity."

And the best and most thought provoking one Carpe Diem or Seize the Day.....Hmmm .gotta seize the day or will surely lose it......... so don't waste time...... go on...

Independence day,friends and teachers


Happy Independence Day,(a bit late,oops).

It was a wonderful day (in more than a way).Well,I went to my old school for their celebrations, met a good number of my DEAR old friends and my teachers (some better than the others) and sure enough criticized some things :)

Some things are hard to take in and for me hearing the National Anthem sung even slightly wrongly seems seriously wrong.And so I did express it.Wonder what they thought of it!

And then later ,when I was just coming out of a pocket road near my house , suddenly I was filled with an emptiness , on thinking I found that a patch of trees (a very thick one) was cleared to make way for construction.Made me think "Where is India heading to?" It just felt so bad.........

However, the had its share of happiness ;)

Wierd and wierder


Oh...... how I wish had a good facial memory......... Abolutely bad at remebering facins and names.... over the past week, 3 girls either smiled or waved at me and I don't think its my handsomeness ( something very difficult to find in me, I guess, unless of course ,one of you wants to argue ;) ). And I have been trying figure out who they are(still).Probably some friends from a class I took a last year back but it lasted only a week!! Still brainstorming.............

Talking with passion.....


So much to say.....So little time!!!

Well, as part of our English classes ,all of us are required to make speeches, one per term......
And to day was my turn to speak. If you have been an avid reader of this blog (very few,sadly) you would know that our school has a very 'natural' surrounding and has its share of bugs especially centipedes.And the funniest part is, as soon as anyone sees one of them, a scream starts ,one mighty enough to bring down the house! So , I resolved to speak about the same........

Most others spoke about Einstein or the swine flu but me about a simple everyday observation.... an illogical fear of harmless creatures. I was totally unprepared in the usual sense ...... I had no idea about the actual stuff I was to say. Well, only knowing that I had to convey my feelings about the reactions.

According to me , it went pretty well. Me being not a really good orator , I may not have been very moving but the point I want you to note is..... I was able to speak well even when I was unperpared and I owe this to the fact that I spoke with passion deep from the heart.........

After all....

Too late........

Oooooh.... ..too bad its time for me to go to bed...... I had so much to say..... rest assured you'll hear soon.............

A Perfect Mirror

"Your face is your soul's mirror" or so it is said............

Maybe not always applicable to actors but to me ,a boy who is not really well known for his facial expressions, it truly is or so I have experienced today.Today being Hiroshima Day........That fateful day when millions suffered and which destined millions more to greater sufferings........ we lit candles on stage, around twenty of us represantatives were on stage passing on the flame to hte others candle , it was all very dim the day being not a very clear one. That moment ,a thought passed my mind.... I felt so peaceful and serene..... it was a particular feeling that I am not able to explain.......... anyway, later I found out that I was smiling on stage but I was totally unaware of it and come to think of it ,I have no idea what my expressions were at that time!!!!!!

A couple of things.............


Was just passing through a few sites and I noticed two particularly sad notes.....one had a sad news and the other invoked sadness....I'm really sorry for the first guy .........

Now the second one has many interpretations...... that's the best thing about poems........they let your imagination run wild .............let go.........run free......... never look back............ENJOY..........

Life goes on..........

I'm sorry guys...... really not getting time but will surly try to do as many post as I can but I think it won't be many but I'm sure i'll be able to get back in a week or 2 .........gotta scram..........

The vast open skies have always fascinated me and still does...... sometimes I become completely mesmerized and just sates at the stars for a long time especially the moon........ Its so magnificent ...so brilliant.......so bright .....so captivating...... The skies give me a new life whenever I look at them ........ None can truly capture its magic in words........ EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELF
ENJOY LIFE.........

A Different type of game



http://www.flickr.com/photos/yokoonoofficial/2892798380/

Something I came by today...... An all white chess board...... What facinates me is not the aspects of the game or the huge amount of memory that you should posses in order to play the game but the the concept behind it.

In the owner's own words
" The white chess set is a sort of life situation. Life is not all black and white, you don't know what is yours and what is theirs. You have to convince people what is yours. In the chess situation it is simple if you are black then black is yours. But this is like a life situation, where you have to play it by convincing each other."

Interesting indeed. I don't think that I have to say anything more.... Its all clear I guess........


By the way ,I got the link from here
