the higher plan

Ever wondered how it all began ?, how it all got put in the right…or rather perfect place?...who did this?...is it a coincidence?...was it god?...is there a god?...and if there is …why the hell does’nt he show himself???

These are some of the obscure yet perfectly sensible questions I never got the answer to…but I never gave up either. people of all religions, creeds, backgrounds and professions have their own takes on how we were created…right from the catholic version of the 7 days of god’s creative blitzkrieg, to the quite interesting hindu take on the issue.

What’s weird about the hindu version is that in every epic serial/sitcom that is about a particular god…that god is the sole center of the universe and everything else is its progeny. Not convinced?...turn on your T.V on Sunday at around 9 am and put on any family channel….then compare it with another similar religious drama. You’ll see!.

But the bottom line is- is there even a god?...or are we using him as a way of explaining things that we cant otherwise?...until sometime back I used to believe the latter…but then certain turn of events made me think otherwise. However god’s involvement does make anything hitherto unaccounted for, a regular acceptance of the event in the name of faith. It leaves no room for speculation.

The theories of how life began on earth are many…Darwin theory being the most profound of all. Although science can explain almost all there is to it , the loopholes still creep in. and they can subsequently be exploited by the skeptics. The creation of everything on earth is an example of the perfectionism of nature, and also an argument supporting the involvement of god.

The fact that we haven’t been able to find any substantial proof of life anywhere else (that we know of), says something to me- maybe we are unique, maybe there is a higher plan in all this, or may be not.

All said and done, it all comes down to what you believe, or more specifically what you choose to believe. I may turn into a skeptic and refuse to abide to any thing I cant touch or feel. But what do I achieve? On the other hand if I believe that there is a higher power that I can turn to, it gives me hope. It makes me content that if there is no one else for me…there is someone I can turn to.

So you may be a hardcore kick-ass spiritual entity, or a freelance- non believer…some questions will always be answered with-“it’s a matter of speculation”

Cheers!

debut blog---rickety beginnings

hey fellas!...welcome to my side of the world...where things either make too much sense or no sense at all...
the above obscure line was an example of no sense at all.
the most difficult part in writing a blog is to figure out what to write about?...so i gave it a little time...and wallah!...i still could'nt think of nethng....so here i am writing about whatever strikes my pea-brain...

The other day I was watching that movie-‘good will hunting’ . The portrayal of Matt Damon as a kick-butt-superfuckinawsome genius does two inevitable things to you…or at least me…

1. it fills you with awe for the sheer brains of the bloke…
2. it fills you with self pity, drowning you deep into that shit lake of self loathing .

I was never the brightest kid of my time…and quite frankly I don’t complain, for it has its pitfalls too…do I see a raised eyebrow?

But I always was smart…in ways more than one. every parent teacher meeting used to be another reminder of my clandestine caliber and how I do not convert it into performance…what crap!?

My definition of smartness and intelligence will probably shake the foundations of academia…therefore I shall not mention it…but I do say this …getting 90% and above may be one way of proving your worth ..it definitely is’nt the only way…

I always say that one should play to his strengths..(although no one seems to listen)… but the system does’nt let you do that…

That’s right…another potshot at the system.( in the words of Mr. Bhagat who, ironically, shares my name….”blame the goddamn system if you cant figure out anything”).

However as most of the world says…”ambition beats talent”…it gives you a sort of relief to know there are more ways to get what you want other than being born to do that stuff. We can work hard…we can learn what we don’t know…we can strive to improve what we lack…and that’s where intelligent people are left behind…they think they don’t need to work hard. All I can say is I hope they don’t work hard. .it makes my chances that much more better.
