Philosophy of Life



One fine morning it was; but unfortunately, it seemed to me like the same old,  endless marching of recurring events. But every one seems to be enjoying or so it appeared. Some say they enjoy busy life and calmness scare them, i don't know and  i possibly can't. Just imagine a situation, god appears and is offering a boon, what would you ask for? i would say, i wish  whether this world become so slow that we don't miss a moment. But, hey, i am just being rude and narrow-minded as there are lots of other people for whom life is a living hell. For them living every moment like the same way would be devastating.

Every morning i getup wishing what if the world is like a book, very well organised and like 'The Dorian Grey' of  William Wordsworth. To me death is very saddening in the sense that if any person enter into that particular realm, you are lost. You are no more a player, here in the drama called life, on earth, in fact you get promoted to play a role in much bigger arena called universe. Sometimes it seems life has a meaning sometimes its just a random phenomena. But hey, like Jean-Paul Sartre had told,"Everything has been figured out, except how to live". 

People say Love is everlasting. Even if you and me don't exist Love exists. Hey it definitely sounds good, but if you and me dies where does this feeling called love exists. I thought feelings are in our mind, or you could say its a mind-set. I never heard animals loved each other, yes most of them have attachments  but not that particular feeling what we call love. Hey i know, you are going to say i am wrong and why am i not surprised at all?

Every one is so engaged in this world that they forget to have that blissful moment where mind meets the soul or you can simply say serenity or calmness, where, you don't think about anything else, just  you and your fantasies. Your mind lead you to horizons where in reality you wouldn't dare to go or things you wouldn't dare to do. Our problem is we are trying to give over significance to ourselves, we are here for a purpose we have a destiny sort of things and what about other animals they are just side kicks. Why can't we just simplify our view by thinking ourselves as big group of primates living on every landmass on a planet made of rocks, like a colony of ant. Like us, ants inhabits almost every landmass on this earth.

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

Youth and Politics

Our political system is crippling and burdened with over aged hypocrites. I honestly believe our politics  need a revamp. Don’t you think present is ruled and governed by the ghosts of past. There is big difference in past and present  social values.  Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi. When i say older, i meant our over-the-hill politicians, you can say they have experience and all, but right now what we need most is not experienced minds but bold minds who can accept the change happening around and those who are willing to break free from the old traditional format. The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour destroyed our co
