the un-prepared self

In reality, sorrow is the catalyst for inducing sympathy, respect, and courage, and that’s the plight because it’s dipped in pity. You really don’t know what you are up to and friends neither do I. We are just driven by our instincts but sadly that instinct is coated with some confused thoughts inspired from around.

Superiority comes with purity and not power. 

It comes with understanding the consequences without searching for a raw reference. Let’s stop searching for brutal examples that we see around to shake our conscience, and just start doing something that helps us become pure. 

Try to see the white canvas behind the painted world.

The past history including yesterday is filled with wrongdoing and every time I encounter such incidents, I try to search that “un-prepared self” and expect it to do a miracle. And as the tough time passes, I get back to what I am good at… exploring “I”, “me” and “self”

Helpless with choice, is what I derive from my actions but with hopes to be "selfless" someday.

So friends, as I always say, keep exploring and until next time get some introspect and gauge your preparedness of selflessness. Ending this post with one of my poems which I think is apt to the context of the post.

Effigy

I never got a chance to burn my effigy, but
making responsible the latest reason around, I should take a chance;

The protest, the fire, the anguish, the desire, ain’t I not responsible 
If not, still, will you lend me your sin;

I don’t know why I generate this strange pull,
but I think I am responsible;

A good-hearted lad, no debate, no quarrel,
with thoughts of only me, my family, my friends;

And the only fire that I always had, qualifies just to burn cigarettes.
am I not responsible, What You Say?

And today, I do realize that writing this, doesn’t make me acquit 
A reason so strong, that stops me burning my effigy;

equation of equality

It has been increasingly evident with time that the fight for equality is profoundly on. The roar rocks one with its reckless rebuke when either sex embarks on proving a point.  The society at large likes the notion of  " M = W " [ where ' M ' signifies 'man' and ' W ' being 'woman' ] The equation is simple and straight, but somewhere it remains un-understood and this failure to understand fuels for a greater unequal society, where respect trail rebellion. So, let's look back to the equation once again and this time with the intention of changing it a bit. The perception of equality doesn't lie in standing apart and comparing but it's more about standing together and working through life. So keeping this thought in mind the equation could be changed as: " MW = p " [here 'p' is constant and referred as 'partnership'] Everything that we accomplish in life is an individual part played to achie...

manipulative alphabet

What you think and what you say was never the same. At times it may, but never always. Some things which are quite predominant but hastily stated otherwise. Maybe it has a reason in a situation or for that matter just showing one in high light. What ever be the case there is always a “ manipulative alphabet ” hanging nearby.  So, should we use that “alphabet”? Well friend, anything that is done without hurting, is allowed. Quite diplomatic huh!. Can’t help, actually that’s what “freedom of speech” is. Well talking about “freedom of speech”, recently there was a roar about this and in the process we could see and hear a lot of brouhaha. For a moment, I also thought of pitching in with my so called “expert comments” but later decided that let the topic settle down and marinate. Sorry to sound like a self proclaimed chef but you get the point. “the pointless fight”, “the in for injustice lot”, “the careless and proud to be carefree”, “the deceptive dominance”, “the cham...

So Big Data

… a different perspective. We are fortunate to see the technological change (limiting myself to software) in front of our eyes. It's so wonderful that each change in technology brings with it sophistication and features, and which in turn help the developer community to transform an idea into reality. On the other hand these technologies/framework also has a name, and when you hear it for the first time in your wildest guess you will not understand what it's all about. "Pascal" it sounds like a name, "Cobol", "Foxpro"; well not sure what these can be and out of the many terms, the best of the lot is "C"; it's not even a word. This trend didn't change with today's languages and technologies as well. "Java", "C#", "Cocoa" to name a few. And according to me we also have a contender here too, "Ruby on Rails", it sounds like a story. There can be others, but for the first time ...
