The hexagonal philosophy

We are not constantly under this hypothetical umbrella. At times, there are things which throw the whole world under this umbrella like this New Year while at other some things throw us out of the umbrella. The point is: We can never stay under this umbrella constantly.  We have to get out of it in order to enjoy our stay under it more. Sometime, We have to move out and get drenched in the sorrow pouring out of the umbrella and sometimes, life throws you out forcefully. What we need to realize that we arent going to be kept drenched out all the time. We will get under the umbrella someday. Today its their day, who knows tomorrow will be yours. Keep hoping and keep on striving to get under the umbrella. Adieu.

We always keep on analyzing the statements made by people all the time but in reality, the hidden and yet obvious corollaries and converses to those statements is what really matters.     We humans really are complex animals. Instead of saying something on the face, we prefer to say it in codes and leave the decoding part to the listener but many a times what we forget is that people cant interpret everything.      Recently, A statement was bombarded on me repeatedly. I kept on wondering why that person is saying that particular statement repeatedly even after i completely denied the existence of the fact that was quoted in that statement. But later, it crossed my mind. It was a maze with a corollary and then the whole point of repeating the statement dawned on me.     Whole point of this is: We all are so much complex that it sometimes makes us confusing to ourselves, its like we confuse ourselves by our own words. No wonder we are the most deve...

Okay, this segment starts like its some story. But, its not. Its just some crappy example. A long time ago, there was a Sculptor. One day as he was crossing the forest, he came along a boulder, 10 feets long and an idea stuck him. He got that boulder transferred into village and started sculpting. Slowly and steadily, as the days passed, a Beautiful lady was sculpted out of it.      And then one day, when the sculptor was just about to complete that art, a person came by. And what he said changed the sculptor's attitude of looking towards his own art.     He said, " You are sculpting this keeping in mind image of a lady and you are expecting your life to change with it,right?"  The sculpter said:" Yes, my friend"?  And that man continued " Even if you make a lady of it, in the end, its a stone. You cant change the basic nature of a thing just by altering its shape."  FULL STOP. Thats the end of story. It may feel abrupt but ...

The cursor was blinking on the mobile screen. In the computer era, Cursor is the starting point of emotions. Everything starts with that cursor in the writing box and ends on it. Be it corporate deals, promises, divorces or even small fights on petty issues, everything starts and ends on cursors. That cursor was blinking endlessly, waiting for some words. But, to its disgrace, no words came out, it kept on blinking uselessly.  Days passed, moths went by, years rolled and the cursor kept blinking,  but without any words coming out of it. At times, some words appeared, some emoticons showed up, but just for a second as they were erased by the backspaced button. The cursor kept on longing for pairing up with the 'Send'  button. The cursor is blinking even today, selflessly, endlessly waiting for words to come out of it. But, as all other days pass, this day shall also pass, wordless, for when relations die, deals come to an end, fights become wars, the cursor has this pain...

 I sometimes wonder if Life thinks all of us the species of Dogs instead of Humans. It throws opportunities at us like we throw meat towards our pet dogs. Our dogs however, seize it perfectly. We, life's dogs on the other hand, lose many opportunities life throws at us.        Yesterday, I lost a good opportunity to meet a fairly important person in Marathi film industry. And After thinking for the whole night, today I think it was all my mistake that I failed to seize the moment. I was blaming the guard the whole day yesterday but today, I know it would have been possible with more persistence from me.        We always need to be ready to seize the moment and I was not ready.Sometimes, We simply dont know that it was our moment to seize and we lose the thing. Whenever this whole seizing part comes to my mind, all the moments, opportunities which I have lost in the past come to crowd themselves in my mind.         Its...

The earliest memory of me travelling to some place in the childhood is of sitting at the window seat in the bus or train. Off all my travel in my childhood, I dont remember the destination or purpose of my travel, neither the person with whom I was travelling{Except my Father, I do remember him travelling with me}.         What I remember is only the pleasure of sitting at the window seat. Winds gushing on my eyes and making them hard to stay open, changing terrains out of the window,smells of trees, factories, roads, trucks loaded with commodities etc. I loved to seat by the window, I love it today too.         But, how can a 10 year old always get a window seat? Well, it was my Father's virtue. He always used to get on the bus or train earlier than the whole remaining people and take a window seat for me. I cant remember even a single time, not even a single time that he is sitting at the window seat and me sitting beside him, NO, he always g...

We hear this expression a lot in our lives. " As you sow, so shall you reap".    But I have been wondering nowadays, is it realy so? Do we always get what we sow?  How many times it has occured in your life that you sowed "Care" and got ruthless, careless behaviour in return? Thats certainly not the reap we expect.  I have seen people loving unconditionally and getting sheer hate in return, we have seen Nations helping other nations and getting terrorists in return. Its certainly not true in all cases. We just cant say that this statement is universal.      In Human relations, I think, just not sowing a particular expression is important, we need to add a path to the flow of that expression. Just sowing and then waiting for the reap to show up is as good as not sowing anything. The world has always been unfair to many things. And  this poor expession of thoughts, has the same destiny today, to be proven as "partially true". ".

Today, A friend of mine called me up and quoted an incidence. Just before calling me, he had given a ring to another person he wanted to talk to. It went something like this:   Friend: Hello, blah blah blah   The other person: Yeah, blah blah blah  And as soon as he started on informal conversation:   Friend: How are You?   The other person: OK, Good night... And my friend felt awkwardness at this response from the other side. He just said okay, Bye and hung up.   Actually, he gave a call to that person just to make sure that the other person was alright. In return he got this ignorance.    I dont know whether that other person really ignored him, just wanted him out of his life or it was just some connection problem in phone. But lets take it this way that that person really wanted my friend out of his life. Thats where our LIMITS come.    Many a times we forget that people have their own lives too, we take them as granted and ...

Many a times it happens with me, I modify my life according to other people's needs.You may say:Everybody modifies, adjust their lives for others, whats the big deal in it? But do people really adjust their life for us at the extent we do for them? Take my parents for example: They would modify, even change their lives for my sake. Me on the other hand may not be able to that much for them and this inability of mine to not be able to change or adjust my life according to them must be distressing for them. That's exactly what happens with everyone. We adjust our lives for a particular person and then think that THAT person will also, not to our extent but adjust their life for us. In short, we are demanding a place in that person's life. And when we don't get one, we feel distressed.         Actually, i f we think by their minds, by keeping ourselves at their places, we would find that they are correct too. Why would someone give a place/ time of their lives to yo...

A recent incidence, a situation came in front of me with 2 options. I chose the one which almost no other concerned person would have chosen. This made me a subject of Laughter for my mates. Its not their fault. I do laugh at them when they pick up horrible choices. What I realized was the thing they chose was horrible for me but incidentally, not for them! Everybody's correct in choices with his own set of rationalizations. Everybody has a different attitude to look upon the choices that have been provided. We cant just blame them or make fun of them just because their choices seem a great mistake for us. Rather we should appreciate those who take such horrible choices(in our view) and yet keep up with those choices despite of so much opposition. It takes courage to go against masses. With our so called 'wrong' choices, we are gathering courage to stand. So, next time if I find someone making a wrong decision (in my view), I would still tease him like hell but deep d...

Now this is something controversial, Attitude.         I heard my friend today saying ' Its okay to have attitude, it's OK to be in ego if you do have qualities'. Oh really? And what about those who don't have qualities then? Everybody has qualities, but everybody don't keep on showing off.       I sometimes feel pity of those who keep up their ego and drown in it, they cant even see their own good and there are people who would drop the same and come to u when they need u, once you are useless for them, they would wear their ego clothes again and would leave you.      I don't know which among these 2 types of people are more dangerous. Yep, there can be a third group who are down to earth, most of us are down on earth, but yet...somewhere deep inside us, all of us have some kind of Ego.       Its good till its not hurting you and the people who matter in your life. Well, apparently laymans don't matter much in a film...

I just went through a TED talk about human relations and social bonding.And then I recalled the Joker from Batman, there's his famous statement 'When you are good at something, never do it for free'.        Practically speaking, we humans don't need to hear this, I think we already behave this way. Every time we help out someone, there is some motif of personal gain behind it, although we sometimes don't express it but its there. And as we expect some fair amount of return for our jobs, we simply get a THANK YOU. This word, I would say has turned pretty blunt now. People have overused it to such a great extent that nowadays I don't find any feeling of gratefulness attached to the word. People, incidentally,me too, use THANK YOU so often that there's no meaning to it. And I think that's making people feel that they are not being paid the return properly. Take me for instance, i do feel it really emotionless when someone just says a plain thank u to me...

As I was turning the written pages of my diary, the breeze came and turned all the pages and brought a blank page up, even the nature wanted to say that its over, get over it and start again..... As I was trying to look out of my window remembering those moments, the breeze came gushing trying to shut my eyes off to make me sleep, even the nature wanted me to say that's over and start over it with new dreams.... As I took a long breath on remembering it, the breeze came and garrisoned my lungs and made me cough, even the nature wanted me to get it out of my senses.... As I still went on vigorously resisting the feeling of forgetting it, again....the damn breeze came and soothed my mind to forget it.... Finally, when the breeze had almost got the control of my life, when it had successfully turned my diary's pages, when it had got my eyes, when it had numbed my senses, when it had soothed my mind....I shuttered down the damn window and came back to my own self.....

A random day in 2003, I was in third standard when I first saw that man over the TV screen and someone told me he is our president. In coming years, he kept on becoming the topic of our discussion. I can still remember how enthusiastically we talked of him back in 08 about how India fooled US and did the Pokhran scenario and this man was one among them who did it. Fooling US wasn’t an easy job with their polar satellites continuously hovering over the earth, but we did it..back in 98. And we knew he was behind the curtains….managing everything. And then someday, someone introduced me to the space world…to space agencies…to NASA, ISRO, ESA, Roscosmos…to the dark world beyond earth… and there he was again…pioneering SLV’s for ISRO. He joined ISRO when we had to use bullock carts…literally bullock carts to transfer the payloads and was with ISRO till they started commercial space programs.. from the bullock carted crude ISRO to modern day MOM launcher ISRO, he was again back there…....

Sometimes, we keep on avoiding some particular topics in order to avoid bitterness in relations.What we always forget that such avoidance in reality pisses the other persons off. Its always easy to speak out your heart to your friends. Just read a post on fb about who real friends are. They are the one before whom you can quote anything, even their bad things that u dont like. But, yet we keep on dodging people just in a sense not to hurt them by showing off their bad to them. In reality, we hurt them more by not telling them how and where they are wrong. This whole paragraph looks a little vague, let me clarify. Suppose a person bores you off by constantly disturbing you and u keep on getting bored and disturbed and dont say a thing to him thinking that he will get hurt if you directly tell him that he bores you off. Maybe he will feel bad about it, but deep down somewhere, he will also be happy that you directly asked him to stop being so annoying instead of complaining about h...

It was a cool evening. Someone was playing Prince Royce's Extraordinary in another room. I was supposed to attend a party in an hour. Just then, my phone rang and I received another invitation for the night. Life's really weird, there are times when we dont get an invitation or dont have anyone to party with and on some occasions we have multiple parties. Its easy to choose between what's good and bad but its hard to choose between 2 good things. We have to take into account every aspect in order to choose, to decide to which side you want to go...and I personally,  have always made a mistake in choosing a "more" good side. I wonder why all things in the world aren't just categorized under good and bad, it would have been much simpler that way. Instead, we have good,  better, best ....we have to choose even In the rational things..which one will be more rational, moral. These are the decisions which have the power to turn your life upside down. These d...

There are some situations in our life when we find ourselves rational and correct firstly and we even act according to that and then after some time we realize that we were wrong. This always confuses me, who's who? When am I in the right coat and when am I in the wrong? I grew up thinking that if you first do things correctly then you automatically get rights to scold people if they screw the same thing and it took me almost a year and a half that even if people  screw that thing up, there's some reason behind it. Nobody makes mistake purposefully, thats why they are called "mistakes". There should be a chance for everyone,  to place their side. In this whole jiffy, it always confuses me...Who's who? Who's in the coat of rationality and who isnt? The one who did that thing correctly and scolded others for screwing it? OR the one who screwed that thing accidentally and got all the scolding? Where should our sympathy go? To the one who did his job perfec...

Everytime I realize that somewhere in future, death is standing for me, it makes me upset. I really cant imagine myself dead, the world will go on and I wont get any feeling of it. We all are ACTUALLY going to die, it will happen in our life and then there will be nothing. This realization just scares me off, enough to give me nightmares of me being dead and to make my mind to think about death every single leisure moment it gets. Then I feel I shouldn't compromise anything in life, its a one time shot, how can you compromise something when you have just got ONE SINGLE LIFE to live on? I think we keep on ignoring the fact that we all will die one day. We live or at least make our minds to live in a delusion that we are immortal. That's when we are able to function. And why do we compromise even if we have got a single shot...I dont know... but we do compromise. ...always

Today, a friend of mine came to me. He asked me how I manage to do so many activities at a time, he said he envies me. That brought me into this thinking process. Am I really that much efficient to do all those things at once? Even If I am , I must lose something. The age old adage 'No lunches are free lunches' is correct always. What am I losing in the background? To search this, I started stalking my friend and then the reality dawned over me. The life he was living.....it was simply awesome...the one I visualize everyday to live sometime in the future. And yet he thinks he is unlucky not to be as efficient as me....But, in reality, I am the one who should envy his life. He plays almost daily, he loves that sport and he gets to play it daily. Take me on the other hand, I was busy doing some stuff while all my friends were playing.  I miss playing, I do...but I am left with no choice. We can never say that we are getting everything in our life, we never know the thing th...

It was a cool afternoon....I was staring at my roof endlessly...lost in my own thoughts. The series of events that had occured earlier that morning were roaming in my head. I was feeling as if the whole world's against me, not even a single thing was going right. My gaze moved from the roof and stalled over the ball, that ball.....it had pentagons all over it....the dim light in room was making everything hazy....bringing a bit of mysterious tint to everything. I felt the same about those pentagons over the ball, mysterious, as if something deep lied in them..and then... I realized...it wasnt the pentagons....there were hidden hexagons in it....over primary look..you would see the pentagons over a football...but deeply..there are hexagons.. There..in that football..arose a philosophy. Every man is a philosopher, life makes him so. And life's all about seeing the unseen, feeling the unfelt...searching the hidden....that's what those hexagons were doing, hiding from act...

Everything goes on. Nothing stops, not for a second, neither for you, nor for me. The time is rude bastard. World was going on even before our birth and will continue to do so even after our death. We changed almost nothing,almost nothing in it. I earlier used to think that I should do something big so people will remember me when I am dead. But then I realized,for how long? For how long would they remember me?A decade....may be two and then they will either forget me or someone will have an epiphany over my work,better than my work. Pele for example was world renowned at his time, today,more children know about Chriastiano Ronaldo than Pele. Pele's legacy is there even today but it will certainly die before Christiano's legacy. And Ronaldo's legacy will die too, someday in future. Its just so calm that nobody among us ever understands that there's evil underneath time. We go on living our lives, then we die and there's nothing, absolutely nothing after that....

Some 10 days back, I got a message from a person who was my classmate, hardly for 1 year. There was virtually no acquiantance between us. The life of two of us was not related to any extent. We had a brief conversation, we began talking and in less than 10 days, Sarah became a good friend of mine. We had absoultely no interest in each other and our respective lives but yet we both kept talking about our own lives. I think thats what we need, a place to speak everything and a person to hear all the rubbish. Being not even remotely involved in each other's life, we can comment on any aspect of our life. I think everyone of us needs such an UNKNOWN FRIEND. We need an unknown person to talk to, to share feelings with who doesnt gives a damn about your life.That person wont even feel bad if something bad happens to my life. And why should that person feel bad? He/She isnt involved in my life. Thats what we want exactly, 2 ears to hear our plea, we dont even want that person to c...

The clock's ticking....second by second..minute by minute...and what do we do of it?Nothing...aweful but true, we do nothing. Wake up, do the chores go to school,come back and then again the whole circle. There's more than this out there, more life more excitement, more joy. We always forget one thing: Life's a one time shot, take it or miss it ,you wont get another chance even if u miss. Yesterday, I saw some folks enjoying which in normal norms of society is unacceptable. Me too, felt the same for a moment. Then it dawned over me that life's a one time coupon, you cant waste it in being unnecessarily rational. I am not emphasizing on just blowing everything up and turning into a criminal,but everyone deserves some fun. Lost a match,will try hard for the next, Not satisfied with exam scores,there are more to score. Had a breakup?There aint any shortage of girls. We should just aim on living..just live it all...fully.

Many of us have heard about the American dream which every American tries to live.. Living the American dream, many of them do carry that motto. I wonder, why we cant have such  dream? Why are we yet skirmishing among ourselves and ruining the feeling of nationality. We carry invisible borders of Religion, Castes between us and believe me, noone...no one among us is free of these borders.Those who tried to get rid of them were debarred from their respective societies.Why? Why we cant have a mix culture, religion? I had a discussion in a group discussion session some few months back. There, someone said that maybe once the generation of our grandfathers go to heaven{with all due respect to all grandfathers, NO OFFENSE..I REPEAT..NO OFFENSE,I dont want a law suit on me for this post}there will be free flow of ideas among all the castes, religions. To my surprise, I found that even people of my generation are keeping track of the lines, just the lines have become much faint now,...

If u find me dead tomorrow, dont mourn, cause you have lost the rights to do so..... If u find me dead tomorrow, dont disturb your schedule, cause that's what you would have done if i would have been alive.... If u find me dead tomorrow, just throw a pebble into an ocean,cause that was the importance of mine in your life.... If u find me dead tomorrow, dont even think of attending the funeral,cause u never attended my mind's funeral... If u find me dead tomorrow, dont sit with people and remember me, cause u never did it when u were alone.... If u find me dead tomorrow, dont look up on the things which I gave u,cause u never did that when i was alive... If u can,....If u really can....just do me a favor, dont even try to find me dead tomorrow,cause......cause u dont even deserve that.....for tomorrow... If u find me dead tomorrow.......

 A small thing's been eating my mind since last few days. I did something and then got the critics for it. And my mind kept on saying "even if the whole world praises me for what I did, that wont matter to me much, but a word of even criticism from "THEM" would make my day,will make me happy. What my mind was expecting? Just a word from them. That's what is an expectation,it can be as small as this and can be as big as expecting a car from someone. After that thing I did, I asked some other group of people about my work and they gave me the critics, simple, job done. This was my demand. It was so easy to demand something, just for it, either u will get it or u wont. Even if u dont get what u DEMANDED it wont hurt much. That's certainly not the case with expectations. We keep on expecting things from people and when we dont get what we expected, we get depressed. It feels as we dont matter in their life anymore. That's the power of expectations. ...

People around us affect our life. They are like active ingredients of our life.Their behavior to us, our behavior with them, thats what a daily routine life is all about. I have had some incidences recently when people deliberately forced some situations on me thinking that I love those situations. My ideal behavior should have been like: NO! I dont want to have it, I dont want to spend time with u  FULLSTOP To my surprise, I was not able to tell them that I dont want them. I failed to say a simple "NO". We always keep on thinking what people will feel if we resist their opinion and hence we dont resist them. But sincerely, we should. The impact it creates on our life is great. Take me for instance, one "NO" to that person would have made my academics better,wouldn't have made me type this post. A simple NO and I am more stable mentally. I literally fought with one my beloved friend just due to the frustration that I wasnt able to say a NO. I think we s...

Humans are living over earth since...say some thousand years. There are races,communities everywhere over the globe. Over the time, these communities have developed a way of living, a standard convention that people should keep on following. Lets consider it to be a road, everyone has to go on that same road...live ur life according to the road only, just keep walking behind the person in front of you, blindly. Its good though, walking along such a road, you wont get any harm and your life will be as plain as the other 99.97% population of the community. BUT.....dont you think its really crunching our real nature? We are humans, we are born to discover the horizons of everything. How can we just keep on walking like this? Why I have to follow the society's conventions? Just because they are good doesnt means there's nothing good than that. There can be something more cherishing, more useful method of life out there, beyond the borders of this road..Why I shouldnt search ...

We take birth, we grow up, live our life and then die. I always wonder, on my last day, just a few moments before my death, what would matter the most for me? Family? friends? Wealth? What would? How can I stay alive even after my death? By doing some research in med school and having my name engraved in medical literature? By authoring a book myself? By having a cool white marble grave with my name on it? I always keep on thinking that the world should remember me after my death. And then it striked me....whats the need of this? Once we are gone..we are just gone..nothing matters then. In the end, nothing matters more than the SATISFACTION that Yes! I had a great time with my life...Although with some regrets but....kya jindagi jee yaar maine...maja aa gaya..ab aaraam se marta hu...Why we cant keep this attitude? Why we want to remain alive posthumously and why we waste the VALUABLE time of our life in setting things for after death? Why? Until today, I wanted the world ...

Sometimes, I see people complaining about the failures they face in life. Why people...even me, I do complain that I never got the required amount of success...I never have fulfilled my own expectations. But just some days ago, I encountered the statistics of sperm ejaculated by a human male in 1 ejaculation. And guess what? Among millions....we are talking in millions...among millions, only one gets chance to fuse with the ovum and take birth...and thats us. We are the lot who are the winner already. Imagine how many millions...billions of sperms u defeated in order to take birth. And u did it, thats why u r able to read this post  and I am able to write it. Defeating millions of sperms...what a great achievement it is in itself. Then why cry on losing some marks in a test or not coming first in class or not being in the playing 11 of a football match?? Yes, there should be competition, we cant take life for granted but competition never means taking grudge on ourselves e...

We, humans,the crusaders of feelings boast to be the only species who can love each other. Straight from the Titanic's theme song upto Lose u by Pete Yorn..we show the inherent property of loving each other. Near...far..wherever u are...I believe the heart does do on....says Celene dion and in contrast Pete Yorn goes off saying I am not amused by you... Why this drastic opposition then of 2 sides? What makes people first love and then also hate with that much grudge? Hate's just love gone bad...says Amish Tripathi... Thus whole thing, its with people...animate objects..what if we start feeling love, obsessions for non living things? Will we still in need of other peoole then? A decade from now and boys will say: meet my new Gf Samsung Galaxy S12 android version 8.8... Its not much far away, the future of human race lies in loving inanimate objects......soon we will replace people from our lives with robots....Soon...love will be machinery...rather than a feeling...

Today, I was completing some writing work...and the pen's refill went out. Why do we call it a refill if it is never refilled in the first place? It always goes on emptying gradually. Life is nothing more than a refill of a ball point pen. One day...we will reach at the bottom....over the ball of the pen....beyond which there will be infinitely long page....DEATH....and the words over the page will be the graveyard. May be my grave will be just worth a full stop...or a semicolon. Or even a word maybe.... God's just writing...sitting up there somewhere..far away from our reach...where physics is just a toy....and gravity...I dont know..never went up there. Dont even want to.. U know why people dont fear death...because they know that everybody has to die..their foes..their loved ones..everbody...the pain doesnt feels much when it is of the whole mankind...its just a flutter of heart beat and off we r gone...

To be or not to be... Thats the opening of Nunnery scene of Hamlet. Shakespeare was a man of great wisdom, he knew what will make people think over his writings. They are just 6 words..with 2 repetitions...and yet they feel as if they have whole meaning of life engrossed in them...TO BE..OR NOT TO BE..

I sometimes feel that history is a lame child of god, its never able to create something, it just keeps on repeating itself. 2 years from now, maybe 3 or maybe a decade later, its certain that we will find ourselves in  the same position again. Why? why so? Its well evident from the history that it knows well how to repeat itself. We had one world war, then another followed.One nuke somewhere and the third will follow. Indian subcontinent was frequently attavked in yhe past...same repititions... I know circle's the most stable structure of the universe...but that doesnt means that everything(including history) should move in circles. Take our daily personal lives, today I am finding myself in the same unpleasant position I was a year ago...same position. History never cares what its creating..it just knows one thing...that the SHOW MUST GO ON...at any cost.
