The Contender!!
Today was a very special day for me..... it is 22nd of may, the day my college reopens after a long so called vaccation(with classes and submissions).... but atleast now i don't have to fool myself that i'm on vaccation.... the day began on a good note.... i woke up at 5am and went on for my morning jog.... this strip of road that i usually use was unusually empty today.... i thought if i came too early for my jog.... but no, it was 5:30 and the sun was already up.... infact i was late... lost in so many more thoughts i decided to move on.... on the way i encountered the stunt house(a house that is painted in some dirty blue just because it had to stand out) and the portugese house.... as i walked down to the international school and back i getting into one of my design trances when i suddenly felt i was going to step over an oddly shaped stone.... a sudden pulse ran through me making me aware of what it was, but i could not believe my eyes.... it took me several moments to balance my physical and mental state of mind to understant what it was...No it was not a stone.... not at all, infact it was a 'thalu'(a scorpion in tamil)... as i looked at it lift it tail up as a sign of caution i realised it was actually alive... now this freaked me out... it looked black just like the road and had brown feet and claws... and it looked extraordinarily big.... now what else would someone need than to stand face to face with one of the most poisonous reptiles in the world.... it stood there totally fearless of the fact that i may easily kill it if i wished to....infact it stood there like it were to challenge me in a battle... it kept clapping its claws and lifting its tail.... i ran home and grabed my cam and rushed to the area... but sadly the road was full again with cycles and daily commuters.... the scorpion seemed to have found its way back to the wild.... as it lurked in the golden grass both of us understood one thing.... both of us posed danger to each other at that point.... i could have killed it but i did not and it could have stung me but it did'nt... it reminded me of the time when i as a proud leo used to make statements against scorpios - " The lion will very simply crush a scorpio, so leo rules ", but i guess i would'nt even if i had a chance to.... such is the marvel of this little reptile... only time will tell if we will ever cross our path once again... if we do then u'll find another blog and this time with a picture...Hope it did'nt follow me back home!!
Something and Nothing!!!
It's been such a long break from bloging.... i perhaps lost all bonds with the net... perhaps much more.... i do remember being pushed in a realm called nothingness.... it is so unimaginable isn't it... "NOTHINGNESS".... the word nothing is defined as not any thing, nothing at all... then how could i have existed in such a realm that does not exist???... puzzling??.... i was too initially.... later i simply understood it... it is just to do nothing at all.... most things are so simple to understand that we think too much and complicate them.... then what are things that require a lot of thinking???.... all things of higher understanding and living eg. a yogi.... devotion to the truth comes in 3 forms...
1. to a normal person it comes in flashes of emotions at certain irregular periods of time.
2. to a devotee it is a sustained feeling
3. to a yogi it is life!!
and based on this one needs to understand his or her level of thinking... this would the first step to knowing yourself... we need'nt necessarily belong to any of above 3 categories... they may intermidiate ones too....
don't you at one point of time feel that life around you is so plastic.... and that you are bieng ignorant of so much truth that needs to necessarily run in your veins....like your rights, ur existance, of what you do everyday, and much more.... they probably did'nt have to be reminded of this fact as back then man was away from the so called dark cloud of technology... i might not know how ppl lived back then, but i surely do know that they lived better than us... and certainly we cannot expect to live that way today.... it would be stupidity... the only thing we can do is to be aware of this fact all the time and live in the time we belong to... the supreme truth is not too far away once you see it.... what matters here is for you to see it... once you do, it all just makes more sense than ever.... something will!!!
