I LIVE

If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.

Dying for motherland is eternal glory...

Superstition is extension of beliefs

(CL mam ne kaha thaa likho, so... here it goes.... )

Belief is not gods or daemons. Belief is not a cat or a cow. Belief is not a witch doctor or  a voodoo.

Its not so myopic in its scope and trivial in its vision.

I feel strongly against any claim that superstitions are an extension to beliefs.   No!

Belief is life. I live cause I believe in a way of life, my ideals, my principles and my podium to stand a moral high -ground.

 

Beliefs are oft quoted as ones religious affiliation, but are they so limited in their meaning?

What would you call your principles then?  Is it not your belief?

What would you define the reason of you working for your goal in life? Is it not your belief  in your goal that compels you to work so hard for it?

 

Look around you…

Why does a soldier fight for his country and risk his life? Its his belief in his duty, his obligation to protect the motherland!

You! Don’t you help when your friend and your loved ones through thick and thin? Is it your superstition that he might do you good at some later point ?

No! you love them and you believe in your love.

You trust god and do follow his shown path of good and just. What is it? Its belief!

 

On the contrary, what are superstitions?

Don’t you know what they are within the heart of your hearts? In fact we ourselves have coined and defined the term as an irrational awe of unknown.  Yes! We are afraid of the unknown, we observe them. But we don’t define our existence around them. You don’t go about doing your everyday work, thinking about a cow or a cat all day. Superstitions are nothing but our means to respond to our call of curiosity, our way out of fears. Not a path to ones destiny.

 

Before I conclude my stand, I would highlight to the thought which might be running amok in your mind, that we don’t live in such a utopian world where people essentially have a philosophy and live with a goal…

 

No, we do live in such a world.

 

The very fact that world exists proves it. And it does cause people believe it. You believe it!, You do!

BRO STANFORDIAN!

wel wel wel!

Finally! he gave me the shock of a lifetime!, MY brother.

He just called up few days back... afternoon... somethin like 3:00pm... 

"Hey bro! can you check your mail plz... "

i asked "whadup? whad happnd?"

"Just check! stupid!"

**Hanged up***

and languidly i crawled to open my mailbox and voila! Theres this mail and it reads in bold, Times roman... "NTU - STANFORD SCHOLARSHIP"

(Aah! i lost my sleep in like a jolt. What could it be?)

2 mins and am readin it again and again and my state is in total disbelief...

It was an admission cum scholarship offer in the MS program (Environmental Sciences) jointly offered by the Stanford-NTU(singapore) university.

A fully paid  scholarship including airfare charges, he had bagged the lottery of a lifetime. 

**************************************

BUT before you are just dazzeled by all of it... just as i was a few moments back... lemme add that it wasnt easy for him...

i have seen it. and he has experienced it.

it was just a few years back...

class 12th... a below average percentage...

medical entrances... no result... years dropped... no result....

with a heavy heart and painful start he had embarked on his BE in the far south... Chennai.. in some obscure university.

Spendin days away from family and doin a course (biotechnology) which wasnt exactly his choice... 

i guess its all history for him now. 

Hope he has a really great time ahead in Stanford and then at NTU.

BRO! PROUD OF YOU!

crush

just had a crush for this ammazing 80s hit song..

MLTR - Someday

a must watch - must listen for all who havent heard this...

VELA blog.

Me: Ab ye bakwas hi karni thee to blog ka kya matlab... it has to be meaningful yaar!

I: chal! chal! rondu ab kuch meaningful likhega... lol....

I & ME:

***************************************************************************

Life has been turning out real smooth. I have made peace with my results and my crap percentage... (which exactly means that i have convinced myself that am better than all the 80 percenters and the programmers and the DCE IT batch ppl and DCE ppl .. et al... ed infinitum). I have also been goin for a bit of pleasent sightseeing (Dates???...  who knows). Gaming is goin on just fine...Birthday treats with booze... Movie shows at night... music at CVR 207 blarin out loud.... No exams at sight... lifes good. i tell you, it is.

But that also reminds me of how life is also going to screw me in a few weeks from now...

NO padhai = End sem mein phat jayegi.

NO CAT padhai = MBA entrance mein phat jayegi.

NO Revision of old sems = Placements mein phat jayegi.

so... i must stop writing the blog and get down studying (of course after watching the movie GOODFELLAS... bahut dino se padi hui hai!)

TADA

:P
