Who are we?


Japan, the land of Rising Sun is tossed by the nature. Some says these calamities are warnings that nature gives us, to beware. They say we need to be in harmony with nature. They say nature is the provider and it is true when we look from our angle. From the moment we, living beings started to breathe we were always under nature's  strong grip.

We humans think we are  someone special, we some kind of a miracle that happened in this world, of course the view is totally ours as we are the only beings capable of having a view. How ever we try to out run the nature we can't b'coz our existence is restricted to a certain place called earth,  even in earth we can't live under water and on land, we can't survive without oxygen. Don't take me as a sadist person who likes to see such pain. But just rewind our mind and clear our thoughts. How do we treat other living beings, we treat them like we treat each other without respect . We as the crown of creation (that's how we would like to call us) omitted other living beings from our philosophical dogmas.

When we say this world is going to end what  we mean is, it is  going to be an end for us, humans. we think without us there is no existence for earth. Actually speaking we are nothing in this big universe, even earth is nothing. This phenomenon of life on earth is a constant struggle against the nature i.e. the earth's atmosphere. Actually speaking the life adapted itself by creating creatures that can survive in harsh environments. Even the oxygen we breathe in its pure form is dangerous to us. Oxygen is a corroding gas it is one of the reason why life couldn't be able to create more diversified creatures. Life doesn't care if human beings exist or not, the phenomenon must go on. Life's sure bet is on virus and bacterias which could thrive on any harsh environment.

We humans are very developed as we would like to say. we wear clothes, we have moral values (which is always oriented to ourselves), we can travel in water, we can fly, we are the only being which made it out of this earth(Of course i do remember that the first being put to space was a dog), we discovered nature's truth, though in a small quantity we found out. Our brain is our weapon.
We say we are trying to save other species but how? We are occupying  and consuming this planet's land mass like no other. If those animals try to stray away from the border line we have put, we have no other choice but to capture it or kill it.

I don't know whether we are doing it right or wrong, but however it is, this is the way we live. we are made this way. we are self centered. we can't blame anyone for that , it is the preserving mechanism of life. Even though we introduced some moral values to our life styles, in the long run the life (the phenomenon) is going to win. Life doesn't care if you are a moral person or not what is needed is to reproduce, thus spreading the species and thus in turn spreading life .

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's

THE EPIC - where to draw the line?

India is the land where history and myth get intertwined in such a way that you cannot say which is which. One of India's gift to the world of literature is her majestic epical wonder " Mahabharata ", attributed to some one(might be one person or many) called Vyasa or Vyas ( Ved Vyas ) which literally means one who dissected 'Veda' (religious and philosophical writings of Hindu religion). Research on this great epic revealed that many appendage had been done to the original text , before it became whole. Mahabharata's impact on Indian psyche is so profound that people consumed every word of it as such.  Characters were being worshipped as role models, like modern day Bollywood stars. As the generations passed by, line which divides the story and reality started blurring. Stories told and retold, appended stories that were not present at the beginning happened, kind of regional versions. Many dynasties and empires came and gone everyone tried to leave t

Dream Catcher

Baby was cooing subtly while lying in her bed. Her eyelids are twitching quickly, and she seems fidgety. making tiny noises as though she's dreaming. Her tiny, chubby arms and legs are up in the air, perhaps grasping for something. "Don't worry, little one" a cool breeze swept the room, whispering softly to the baby. The dream-catcher that was hanging on the door began to cling to the wind. Baby's face is now serene. Her tiny legs and limbs are now at rest. She let out a small smile and a chuckle. She is enjoying her dream. She can hear dream-catcher singing to her. "   Oh.. creator of this  mighty   universe,      Please watch over her in your righteous way.      Be with her now, and guard her smile for eons to come   "
