Sometimes I see a fairy tale ending Sometime I see the devil smiling  There is no dearth of suffering There is no peak for pleasure We have spread across the spectrum But we also live at extremes Human condition is a miracle Hallucinating through our timeline True nature shove beneath social constructs Mirror images don't let it resurrect The mind triumphs, the heart struggles Where do we go from here ? A new age is seen on the horizon Will we every truly ever know ? Indulgence in philosophy has been futile with conflicts Confucius is confusing Nietzsche is dead Sometimes I see fairy tale ending Sometime I see the devil smiling Are they both read or am I just hallucinating ? ~Surya ( Piercing Through)

Acquiring knowledge is a life long process and sometimes one life isn't just enough for it. You may keep gaining knowledge for eons but you will never get hold of all of it. What is much more important than acquiring knowledge is the application of knowledge. What you do with what you know ?  There are only three options: 1. Do something good 2. Don't do anything 3. Do something bad Now, lets concentrate on point no. 3 and see what happens with some examples: Consider Guru Shukracharya - a brilliant mind, an accomplished tapasvi and a mighty sage but then he is hardly recognized and remembered for these qualities. We only remember him as Guru of Asuras/Daityas. You may say our mythology is harsh on him but it is harsh on everyone because it tests and probes the intentions behind actions of every character and also that's where the lessons lay. Guru Shukracharya spent all his acquired powers and knowledge for the upliftment of Asuras(the bad guys) a...

Once Sherlock told to his best friend Dr Watson - "You see, but you do not observe" We all see, we keep saying and most times do nothing. Every moment keeps passing like a film roll, things keep happening and we keep munching pop corns. I have seen many things too. There are moments when you see something and it distracts you from just seeing it. This distraction is pivotal for making an observation. An observation is an additional layer to seeing it. Observation is a reaction, a mental one.  Below is collection of such discontinuous observations that I had from time to time. Spider Man's Hindi Poster The English poster of Spiderman 2 said -"His Greatest Battle Begins" The same thing in Hindi was written -  "Jab sab dushman honge viruddh Woh karega jeevan aur maut ka Yuddh" In Hindi - सारे दुश्मन होंगे विरूद्ध वो करेगा जीवन मौत का युद्ध Now you call it stupidity or creativity? Office Cabs Office cabs are like single seaters  one seat ...

My signature wit, in a classic retrofit! This series is to bring together my various Facebook posts that I have published over the years when I have been distant from blogging platform. This series will eventually also contain some original source material which isn't / will not be posted on my Facebook wall. The contents of this series would be my one point stop of my various views, burrowed quote and fascinating facts that I have managed to know and acquire over the past few years. I will include the good ones, the bad ones, the embarrassing ones - everything under one umbrella here. This series will contain a multitude of disconnected topics ranging across various genres because I have kept scribbling wherever my interests and curiosity have pulled me along. I may restructure few of the already published articles/quotes - to add clarity, correct grammar and also to add any changes in opinion in case they have perforated due to my constant reading endure. So, feel free t...

A mist-covered destiny ~ A speech by Satish R Inamdar Sixty-ninth Independence Day is here; the tricolors are in full bloom, a sudden rush of patriotism seems to arise in the heart of every common Indian. I am certainly not against this new feeling that sweeps over us for one day like a cyclone that raises alarm of impending destruction but changes its course just in time to avoid it all. Because, for all certainty I know 16 th august, the very next day will be just like other 364 days of the year and every memory and feeling on the day before it would vanish in a puff of smoke as we get busy in our livelihood. This year, the Independence Day happens to be on a weekend and I feel for the masses, who have been denied of an opportunity for a national holiday. Before we begin, lets do a reality check: “Tiranga” or “Tricolors” as we usually refer to our national flag has actually four colors not three. Everyone seems to ignore the navy blue wheel in the center of it. It is...

They told me it was a tiger But underneath it was a sheep They tried to scare me with it Until I caught it bleating They told me the tunnel was full of darkness They said venturing there would be rashness But it was until I saw the shimmering Then none could stop me from going They told me not to mingle with strangers Their friendship could bring me harm But I finally found my true love Amongst these very same strangers now They warned me to hide When the powerful came out to stride But it was until they burned down a place Angered within I came out to face They asked me not to go against the rule, Risking it would be an act of fool But it was until I found out the basic flaw That they were nothing more than ruler's claw They asked me to shut up When I tried to speak up They said they were doing me a favour And urged me to have the fervour But then I stopped listening I put my headphones on They screamed and raised t...

Hated by many But forgotten by few I make my presence felt Only when with your hero I have dealt Cruel, unforgiving and evil Sometimes I am an ugly old devil A mind wicked and malicious More than often I am fastidious Darkness is my ally Shadows are my friends Morals are crushed under my feet I stride radiating the burning heat I can be a vampire Or I can be an alien I can also be a psycho Sometimes it’s just the ego Views radical and actions unparallel My men just obey, they never support That’s how your hero stands apart Because he has a big humble heart I always win the first half My tragedy starts in the second That’s when your hero makes a comeback I am still fierce but vengeance is what I lack I fight, but not with honour I slay, but not with valour And I hide like a timid I fall like a morbid Defeat at the last Disgrace in the end That’s how my story always ends Flowers to my grave no one will sen...
