Goliath vs David



What i had written under may not be factual or reasonable to others. This is just blurting out of my 5 second thought which came to me as a flash, that is why i have written it in one single para. So please don't get angry with this non-sense.

Humans are special, our intense desire to out live time made us innovative, creative, imaginative more over successful, in a sense. From the very beginning we tried to contain the time, the result was inevitable, time just moves forward. We just couldn't comprehend the fact that we would cease to exist after a particular time frame. It could have been at this moment of revelation that we, humans decided to tame the Goliath named 'Time'. Time always caught our fascination, it tricked us to beat it on the race. We painfully understood that physically (in material world) we cannot beat time. At last we, who are gifted with the special senses of self awareness, our own strange ideas of right and wrong , much more weirder morality, decided to make a small change in rules. We decided to win the race by our mind, rather physically . We understood the the fact that, our mind is what make us aware of time which is why other lower animals couldn't  grasp time as we do. What they do, are just instinctive and sometimes made out of habit. But we understand time, we analyze it, we calculate our time frame, in another sense we can say we predict our 'death' or our 'longevity'. The knowledge of death made us awry. We were sure, we are going to die, all those things we had done and attained through our years of living are going to end in a moment. No one will know, not even other fellow humans wouldn't be able to  know what their ancestors had done. We thought vigorously for a solution to this dilemma. At last we found it, yes that was it, that was the only way we could defeat 'time'. With all the blessings from 'evolution'(of brain) we started to record time, using our brain's fabulous ability, by creating 'language', the foundation of all the development we humans made through out. Using language we created wonders. We imagined things, nothing in this universe had ever done or heard of such a thing called 'imagination'.  We understood that with time ever moving forward, we loose our importance with respect to time. We took the 'time' head on with our another grand creation called 'God'. We noticed that everything seems dependent on time, like unexplainable timely lightning occurrences, coming and going of rain, occurrences of tides, happening of seasons etc. We were perplexed seeing the might of time, time controls everything or at least it seemed everything occurs in a particular time frame.  WE wondered whether there is something more powerful than time, who or which controls even time. That is how we came to be settled down with the possibility called 'God', who/which controls everything.

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   "
