Hey all. This post comes after a long sabbatical, which I must confess, was self imposed. I hope in the weeks that flew by, there were a few prospective readers who clicked on my blog space…..in hope at least. Well at least I would like to presume so, for that sure is a motivation. Anyways, the last few days have been what I would like to describe as a “Bhelpuri” experience. I had the opportunity to set my foot or rather attempt to do so on Mumbai’s most priced possession-the Local Train. Ironical as it may seem, amidst the blaring decibel levels and the commotion, I found a hell of a lot of time for doing what I do best-‘Abstract Thinking’. I don’t know why, but I felt the sanest one around, for I kept quiet when someone stole from me, what should have been my seat or when I got pushed and swirled around seamlessly, not just about the three geometrical axes, but about a lot many imaginary ones. I couldn’t help but look at things around me in slow motion. Quite like the Indian hero with the camera in his face, observant, quiet and elated too at the same time, for I knew that the seed had been sown. I had got the subject for my brain to ponder over and I knew that I was assured of a joy ride. It is like the game of roulette, u never know when and where the ball would to a halt. This time around, I couldn’t help but think about the similarity in a human and the functioning of the universe. I started thinking about both the happy and the sad group of people that I had come across in my life. Have you ever tried thinking about what separates or defines the boundaries of someone being happy and the other not? I know it is not as simple, but then again, mind rarely thinks about the things which are simple to decipher. A simple concept which according to my limited experience and understanding is common between the two is the presence of a nucleus or a sun. I observed in the lot of people that I had in my mind, that the happy ones had a nucleus or something so cherished, that their life revolved around it. On the whole, it was a system, of things revolving around each other, quite like our solar system or a simple atom. After this self realization or so I thought, I stepped out of the train and had to scamper out. Days passed and I was back to thinking about what guys do best….bikes, cars, food, girls. But then, fate had its own dice to throw. I was watching this show on discovery, which discussed about the origin of life and related topics. That was it. Have you ever had that feeling, when the words that are being spoken would have seemed to sound the best had it been your voice? Do some introspection if you have had not…lol….just kidding…as for me, I so felt like I was a part of the panel of experts. They discussed about the same concept, but in detail ofcourse….That’s why they rare on T.V.
They talked about how this assumption could help answer a lot many questions about the universe. The talk revolved around the need for a sense of purpose and how it could be achieved. The most positive part about the conversation was the 'assumption about the search for a nucleus being a temporary phase'. Instead of traveling in light years, how a simple thing could resolve such a complex issue. The answer is ‘Introspection’. What lies common to the working of the universe and life itself could help in application of what’s true for humans on to the understanding of the universe. I know some of you might be bored by now; some lucky ones might not have come so far and a few who could understand what I was trying to put across would like to share their comments. This post may seem to lack a sense of completion, but then so is the very question. I am still thinking about the whole concept and would love to share my thoughts about the same as and when I have something interesting ……I would love to hear any comments or suggestions about the content as well as the style of writing .After all, I am here to learn……………………...cheers!!!!!!
P.S Hearty congratulations to my dearest friend Arun for cracking his gre….he did a brilliant job of scoring a massive 1370…start bloggin, that’s all I got to say Mr T.P.S!!!!
