Love and being Loved.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing fine.

Let me start the article with a question, which are those words which we feel warm when you perceive them.

I will name a few: happiness, rain, flowers, nature, vacation and last but not the least I would say love.

Yes actually that is the expression in discussion today ‘Love’. Do you know the USA generates more than a trillion dollars on gifts which are given to express love?

Amazing isn’t it, but still why are there some alarming numbers of divorces which are happening and the rosy hearts are become dry and left with thorns of loneliness?

My second question would be do we all really understand the meaning of love? This would a discussion I would like to put across to all my dear readers, In the following paragraphs I will put out my perspective, I would like to know from you through comments what you think , so here it goes..

Well I don’t want to start with stereotypical way putting things, like love came from this Greek word and so on, we all know what is love, just for the record let us recollect, it is a strong feeling of affection towards someone or something. Someone may be your lover, parents, siblings, relatives your friend or your pet, irrespective of all the persons and the animals mentioned above the meaning of love remains the same.

But what we lack in this vertex of life is that we lose track of reality and end up in illusions and that is time where they forget the meaning of words like happiness and love.

There are many people who are behaving like fools, and I am sure we are noticing them daily and sometime feel surprised by the way they are behaving, I have seen people close to me say they are  so relived their wives are not there today, some have said they have hit a jackpot! And exclaim by saying their parents decided live separately? I am not exaggerating a thing these anecdotes have happened with me as an bystander.

So what is secret of loving someone and being loved? To be frank there is no secret I tell you love is a feeling which is connected to your deepest of thoughts and it is almost sub-conscious, pardon me I am telling you what we see in the movies is total crap that you saw someone and you hear people playing the fiddle and there! You are in love. Very sorry it is just a marketing aspect of that movie for the producers and directors to make some quick bucks which will be their return on investments, I agree we do not take the movies seriously but, unfortunately our sub-conscious is pre-programmed to store thoughts and put it into action If you keep on repeatedly seeing or listening to something, So it is not your mistake if you think well “ that is the way I need to fall in love and get married, the process is totally involuntary”

The Intimacy

Love is actually a very intimate feeling and the people who are love in definitely  don’t  advertise this fact to the whole world.

So now just think about all the people who were bragging about their ‘so called love stories’ which is either just bunkum or made up?

Love is a universal language there are  no differences..

You think there is a need to make up stuff on these type sensitive incidents which define a person, I would say yes because there are people in this world who are not being loved for their own faults, but just to satisfy their own ego and make themselves feel that there are normal, they may do this if that is the case I feel sorry for such people they would need some help.

There are also people who are being loved, but they do not give back the love to the people who deserve that love. I would call these types of people arrogant and foolish, a mother will definitely love her son or daughter and if the son or daughter does not know how to spring that love back then they have understood the purpose of life.

There is another theory in Indian philosophy that there are certain potentials of which you possess  are dogged by  the deeds that you have done in your previous birth what is called the Karma and reincarnation; though I do not buy this discussion totally I give it the benefit of doubt.

We can almost understand the true meaning of love practically almost only by very few people like your mother, father and the pet dog, yes it is a bitter truth the rest of the world would love you for something in return, agree I am generalizing it but as I told you at the start of my discussion this is my perspective. The people who marry and say they need a divorce and the college folks who like to have a break-up every six months don't even know what is ardency and they are not serious in what they do again spoilt by their environment and their weak character.

Being in love is actually the best of feelings one can have in life at the same time when you are in this phase you will learn to wait, develop patience, learn to become selfless and sacrifice your likes and all these are done only for staying in that feeling called love.

 Being loved or you loving anyone is a virtue, spread the feeling around you and try to make this world a better place.

Thanks for your time, have a nice day.

Who is more evolved?

Hello readers’ good morning!

Hope you all are doing great.

Life was given us a billion years ago, do we know what to do with it?

-From the movie Lucy

This blog hit me as lighting when I was watching a documentary on the national Geographic channel; it was titled world’s deadliest and in that particular episode was about the ultimate abilities of few handpicked species.

The next 30 minutes I watched the most amazing organisms which was beautifully filmed and shown.

Most of these belonged to the sea world mostly everything was shot on the sea bed. The theme or the concept of the feature was to show the different types of techniques these creatures use to catch their prey or attract its mate build their homes and so on.

The amazing part of the feature which I cannot forget is the hammer mantis shrimp, the digger snails and a weird rodent which was derived from species which has ears like a rabbit legs like a kangaroo and nose like a pig! I am not able to recollect the name if I get it will update it.

When I was watching this documentary I felt, we humans are way behind in genetics and the abilities or we can call it super-powers that these animals have we win only in few things like our mind power and the power to control nature to certain extent like lighting a fire or creating ice out of water, or building weapons of mass destruction

We all know ants communicate through chemicals which are called as pheromones; they also use touch and smell with the help of their antenna.

The great advanced human beings talk of superiority and things like these, but I have realised whatever qualities we have developed is from animals, a pack of lioness choose the strongest male as its ate so that the future is safe, the elephants depend on the eldest in the group who is the matriarch to lead the group that is the trust they have in their leadership, when a snake is born it is totally on its own will have to survive by itself till its death, that is self-reliance.

The Intelligence

So the analogy is that there are themes and behaviours which are going on the animal communities across species which has a great resemblance towards our societal living patterns.

There are birds which keep their nests spic and span to attract a mate, the cuckoo steals other bird’s eggs and feeds its own that is the first thievery recorded much before we came into the scene.

So every time we think that we are so special and invented gizmos' and also feel proud of our long distance communications, beat this! a tortoise or a sea turtle   comes back to the same beach where it was born even if is many miles away from it and same with the blue whale, pelicans and flamingos have great migrations with the help of the earth’s magnetic field.

Reptiles are still more advanced they have their weapons like heat sensors, changing skin colour, bi-directional eyes, night vision to name a few.

Let us all think for a while and stop feeling proud that we are the greatest creations ever and accept that everything that was created is great and we are also among them, all the animals are mature enough not to  interfere in our business for their own gains as we do to get their benefits.

But still at the end they are advanced than us, yes for me it feels great to see all these great creatures as a product of mutations of a single gene which has given rise so many ecosystems, phyla and species.

If we all seriously feel proud of our intellect, the task is to show courtesy towards nature and raise hands in unity to save it, and at least if you’re not able do anything better to keep quite than building plans to destroy it.

Let’s admire nature and try to save what is left.

Thanks for your time.

 Adios!

Disagreement = development?

Hello readers

Hope you are doing great.

Talk to yourself once in a day, or else you may miss meeting an excellent person in this world.

-Swami Vivekananda.

Heavy rains in Bangalore from the past 3 days reminds me of the 90’s school reopening time when me and my friends jumped in the rain and laughed at children who used umbrellas, time flew away and now we are just upset about the traffic jams caused due to rains, if I compare both my reactions it is actually very funny and weird .The rain made me realise only one truth we are ruled by no one , but nature  that's God's own truth. Whatever we innovate and try to prove we are the most superior species on earth we still fall under the rules of nature.

We live this life by abiding by the rules of nature at the same time we also have designed some axioms to survive in our own communities and society.

OK! If we just look back in time, since how many years are we following these tiny packets containing methods to solve problems or fulfilling your needs? May be from 3-4 centuries we see there is definitely a paradigm shift from how it was and how it is now.

I am sure sometimes we get weird questions, who could contemplate of a solution like a cycle which would work without any fuel other than your own calories? The inventor of bicycle is my all-time role model.

There are many inventors like these who have woken up the world, I see one common objective in all these people that  is, they did not accept how they were living their lives, and wanted to stay alone from the crowd, that is actually the bravest thing one can do.

If you ask why is it such a difficult task to do? My simple explanation would be this: try not doing your favorite thing for few days; like reading your much-loved book or checking your phone or talking to the person or people whom you love the most  that will give you the taste of dissatisfaction and unrest.

To just keep doing what we do is fine and easy but going out of the way is more difficult than we imagine, it is such a delicate feeling that, there are evidences of people parting their ways in life, relationships breaking just because the latter did not agree to the former’s idea, we have perceived many joint ventures in the world breaking up and becoming individual companies.

Standing up to a person and going in contradiction of him in life is a very difficult task, each day we agree with certain happenings around us and we don’t agree with some,  this is decided by your neural networks in the medieval cortex of your brain, the fastest decision center in the world, so can we say that if your medieval cortex is fully developed or a dominant part of our brain it is easy to stand alone in that crowd and say no to the entire crowd present there, no it is a very tough job, because along with your neural network your own will fights against you and tries to make you weak and tired when you want to stand.

Michael Jackson,  whom I consider the greatest creator of pop music of my generation used to sit on a tree in his Multi-billion dollar Never-land ranch , when he was asked in an interview mockingly: is this not odd?  to sit there like a monkey and write your number 1 labels? He smiled and responded after all I am an evolved monkey, and I respect my earlier species from whom we developed to be more intelligent today, that is how you stand by your decision he appeared on the time magazine for that answer by the way.

If monkeys, the early species of homo-sapiens had given up on their survival we would be history like the dinosaurs.There was one among them whom would have stood their and made some innovation that motivated others to create ways to continue living.

We all are alive today only because of the power and determination and survival given by your older species, who determined to just ‘live’ first, that was there basic task to accomplish. Now after that ‘living’ is considered an easy task for most of us we have built this society and live by the man-made laws, but I feel we are always free from the laws until and unless we don’t do anything idiotic and stupid.

The whole world

Let’s take one species: man, and consider the whole world has no differences you know like political, fiscal and socio-economic,  demographic and so on, we all get a spark in our brains and smile in our heart wow Man! we can we can meet so many people, so many new things to learn , fresh inventions and a better world, and you standing up  against someone won’t matter because you both are sharing a common goal that is betterment and we can say you guys are having an discussion rather than an argument.

So next time, when you argue with your boss be happy because you are out of the ordinary and you use your brain rather than punching your time card and do the same thing the next day and feel sorry you took up that job.

Let’s admire all the great thinkers who are OK! to stand alone against a thousand folks who agree, I am basically fan of such people and want to thank them today.

So that is right thing to do respect the feelings of very few people in this world who matter to you and do what your heart says, and yes if you disagree with a person both of you would learn something good at the end of that discussion.

Have a great day guys, thank you for your time.
