Pseudo Reality

Chance took me to the most breath taking site Coimbatore can boost of, Marudamalai whose beauty is overlooked by most. Rain was in the air as we ascended the mountain and the sight was indeed awesome. It was my friend's idea to go there as he had a great liking for the place and we had nothing better to do. Though being an atheist he likes to enjoy the aesthetics of the temples and wanted to go in, I chose to stand out.

Standing there I figured the reason that had baffled me for long.Not long back when the Anna Hazare fiasco was going on I was surprised to see so many people fighting against themselves, it was not first time I had failed to understand the contradicting behavior of people. On that cloudy day analyzing the reason why I was standing out ,realization dawned that they were doing exactly what I was doing then.

Contradicting the apathetic views held thus far I was standing out because I was taught not to go inside temple after having non-veg. I was practicing pseudo reality, deep down to maintain order and sanity I was strongly inclined to believe god exists. It could be the same thing the protesters were doing ,they chose to believe they were corrupt by force and not by choice, probably It helped them to maintain their sanity.

FIRE THAT FEEDS THE WORLD

Well long time no blog.!! Not that i was busy and all, just was not able to make me write one.!! But now i am too bored and hence decided to write something about what i feel now.!And again the warning of the previous blog remains.

I just read a blog written by one of my friend about embracing defeat.! Yes it is true that without defeat you wont know the value of success but that does not mean you got to be happy with defeat. Lets get to the common argument that we do love success because it is what is accepted by the society and not the want to become successful. How foolish is it.!!:) Lets see what would happen when everyone starts treating success as failure and failure as success, hmmm.. This is what you would say - Oh great ! You have lost the wimbeldon good you are the champion, everyone would start working to be the last and how would that be possible ? By not doing anything,not doing your best,you would compete saying hey i did more nothing that you.!! He he how absurd..!!

True, one who is defeated is forgotten, yes he is not noticed because everything should be earned nothing should come for just the sake of it, you wont be able to enjoy it. He is not noticed, praised because he does not deserve it. You cannot show mercy and make one feel good.!! One can feel happy only if he deserves what he gets, only if he has earned it so he can brag about it.!
Come on no body can say i deserve defeat, if you do well fine then you also deserve not to be noticed. If the society starts giving equal importance to defeat as it gives to success then what is the motivation left to succeed which is tough than being defeated.

Yes again defeat has its importance but not to the society, society should see the defeated person with contempt,but to the person it should be the defeat that should teach him how to succeed. It is the fear of pain of defeat that would make a man to succeed. If not you wont have anything in the world. It is on success the world revolves on, if one had not succeeded on inventing computer you wont be reading this blog. So think before you say something of embracing defeat, if you do it so that you know the value of success go ahead and embrace 100 defeats,but if it is because you think defeat and success are same be careful, it is this thought that would bring doom to the world. You should be embarrassed by defeat.Its only until there is a fire to succeed that life would persist on the world.

Happy success and painful defeat.!!

The word "IDEAL"

Well I am back as I promised. The statuary warning remains.
It happened that a guy wrote I am not ‘THE GUY’ and I started thinking what does he mean by ‘THE GUY’. Is it the ideal guy?? Then I remembered I had promised to write about ideal. As I always say here goes nothing…….

What is ideal? All the time we strive to become the ideal man without knowing what are we trying to achieve. It’s my opinion that ideal is a hypothetical word which can never exist in the real world. As I said in the previous blog nothing can be ideal (Or when tried to achieve invariably fails). Let’s see with some examples……..!!


Well from the stone ages we had been trying to be an ideal man? But have we ever have achieved it? Even the great Lord Krishna could not achieve it. What happened when in India we tried to implement Democracy in its ideal form? What have we achieved (Bull shit multi party system) which makes the complete mockery of the whole word ‘DEMOCRACY’. What happened when USSR tried to implement communism in the ideal form? Well its no more !!
Okay what do you mean by a ideal guy?
Lets see isn’t it the guy who is always breezy care free, smart, intelligent, philanthropic and who is always there for you? Man have you ever met such a person in your life? Let me know some one if you have ever met that guy. The fact is it is always good to imagine such a person exists but the truth of the matter is ‘IN YOUR DREAMS’. So why bother trying to be this guy who every one knows can never exist (I mean acting all the time, fooling even oneself). Why try to achieve the ideal state in everything when the ideal state itself does not exist…!!! Won’t it be better to do what ever we want? What we always feel right? One might ask why to do everything as that itself is ideal?
Well there is a lot of difference between doing what we feel is right and doing the right thing. It is ideal to think what I always feel right is right. Which never EXISTS

Nice point to ponder right……….!!!! Happy sole searching..!!!!

Comments welcomed as usual for the same reason.!

Till next time..!!

Am I a Brand Ambassador.??

Statutory Warning: The writer is not responsible for any loss of grammar or vocabulary. Read it at your own risk.

Here goes nothing..!! Even the great has succumbed to the mediocre world and has started doing what normal one does..!! Frankly I had been thinking long about writing a blog but have always had an aversion to it. Just always taught whats the point letting others know of what you think. Well then had a taught that i might be doing it to just hide my weakness....!! So had to test it out.!!

Sitting in the office after a nice vacation one tends to feel what the hell am i doing here..?? Then i remember the conversation i had with my friend just a few days back so here i am writing this blog.. Well it happened to be that a conversation started with i being in the side that i am not an ambassador to my company where two of my friends chose the opposite side. Of that one dumb choose it just because i had chosen the other end.

Well here was my stands to it. I am not responsible of what the company does. I am responsible of my work and nothing else. I am being paid to work and my responsibility ends with that nothing more. Where does the question of brand ambassador comes.

And this was their counter argument .!! "When some one asks you if the product of the company is good ?" what would i say.? They say if i say i have no idea its like i don't trust my fellow colleagues equal to me.!Thinking in that way it is true one has to agree their point of view. If i had the same respect of me to others i would have said it should be good. But then again this is an ideal taught isn't it..!! Every one is equal to you .! No one is better no one worse and since when Ideal things start working . Carnot engine is an ideal engine but it exists only in papers, Communism in the ideal form failed in Russia where as diluted form succeeded China. Democracy in ideal form in India not so in US. Which one is successful..?? Hmm......... Not bad i got a topic for the next blog too..!! :)

As far as this go i am no brand ambassador of my company. I am responsible of my work. I don't trust it enough yet to recommend it to others. Well trust is a feeling you just start building it, one cannot induce it........:)

Sorry guys i told it you are reading it at your own risk..!! Your comments are always welcomed not to change but to now what you feel.

Bye for now.
