The One Percent Chance

The notion of Chance or Luck as most people would like to call it plays a big role in every one's life. What exactly is the importance of chance in our life? Some people plan everything in their life, or so they think. But still, the chances of that plan going haywire is big.

Consider if you love someone and want to tell her that. If you're just flirting then you wouldn't worry about it much. But otherwise, you will give it a thought from every possible angle.

What if she said "No"?

What if she cried?

What if she call the police?

What if she complained?

What if she humiliates you?, lots of possibilities run to your mind. Then suddenly you will realise that there is only one percent chance that she will say "yes" to you. And there is this whole 99 percent chance that she will deny you. Crap!, that's a whole lot of Chance against you.

This is the time of revelation for you that you have such a scientific analyst within you. And that tiniest one percent is what the people call hope or luck. Some are daring enough to chase that one percent, but most of us never want to come out of our comfort zone. That towering 99 percent will scare you off.But if you look at the flip side there is atleast a chance even if it is only one percent.

Is that one percent worth chasing for ? I think there is no definitive answer for that. It differs from person to person. For me, there is only one answer to that. If you think that's what you want ? Then go for it. It won't matter what the result is. The experience is always your's to keep, until the end.

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...

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 de...

From a socialist point of view

"the private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and fell joy and sorrow on the same occasions" - Plato, The Republic That was the seed which grew into a big tree which considered as the ancestor of Communism or socialism (of course there is difference in Communism and socialism) or simply, you could say a classless society, where people share all their property. ...
