lets get metaphysical

hello. i have been meaning to write about this since forever, but i've never really been able to sit down and collect my thoughts. not that i have now (!) but better late than never eh?

so anyway, firstly, god. also referred to as the dude.ultimo dragon. (n) the man.

I think there is a higher power somewhere. i dont know what form he/she/it is in, but  he/she/it is there. When i feel low or down, I try and connect with him, with interesting results.More often than not, i get my answers so we're cool. He manifests himself in most things around us, if only we care to notice. I think one of the most obvious ways to feel this is laughter. In a sense it is so simple, so uncluttered. and yet so divine. I also think he will show me the right path, if I am dutiful enough to read his signs. And act accordingly. he will show me the right door, but I will have to walk through it.

More than god, i think all of us are parts of an all encompassing whole, and when I/we talk of higher beings, it rather relates to a higher consciousness of one's own true self.

one's true self being the soul, that which exists within us. aatman. pronounced not like batman, but along the lines of mahatma. what stay when the body/form reaches its expiry date. i believe my soul already knows and has access to this gyaan, and that it has purposely chosen to shut out/ unlearn that bit and taken this life. It has realised and chosen to to take this life to try and remain in a constant state of happiness. contentment and bliss. param anand. tripti. or better still, santushti. maybe this is my first life. or maybe it is my last. but it seems like it is either of these two. i think i am here to be happy, do good, and to give happiness to others ( if time permits ;) ). i think at this point in my life, im just trying to remain happy, spread joy and take care of the basic nashwar bits for the time being, while i appreciate and try to get a hang of the bigger picture in due time. due time meaning soon enough. i know that i know, that i know that i don't know.

i think we carry the benifits / minuses of our past karmas and are basically playing them out. for instance, if i have been born into a good family, it is due to something good that i did earlier. and vice versa. right now, i feel blessed that my basic needs have been taken care of, wherefore i can take my time and explore a higher purpose. i think i must do good and be good, not just because of metaphysical brownie points, but also because of crossing the minuses. and the fact that doing good is the right thing.On a not so unrelated note, here's a verse that i really like, and to a certain extent believe in:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. 

Anyway, i think there are many people in our current existence, who we might have had a past connection with. you can sense it if you don't clog your head with other little issues of this world. i think it is important to appreciate the same (not just because hisaab khatam karna hai ;) ) to try and figure out its hidden depth.

i think everything happens for a reason.

i cant stress how important it is to share knowledge. or gyaan. i think there is no joy greater than giving. hence i ask thee to give me all your money :P jokes aside, this probably explains why i loved taking up class at ims. i must try and give time to this. and quizzing, but i digress.

i could really go a lot deeper and fill pages on the above vertical, but i think that is beyond the scope of this blog, for now.

But what I will say, is that the answer is out there, and it's looking for you. and it will find you, if you want it to..

Friedrich Nietzsche mein sex thha

You have your way, I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

That which needs to be proved cannot be worth much.

The person lives most beautifully who does not reflect upon existence.

When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.

We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the tone of the voice in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.

Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.

The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.

That which does not kill us only makes us stronger.

There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.

true story

an alien once came to planet earth. while he was basically just chilling and checking the place out, he met an earthling, who although cautious at first, came forward and started shaking hands. while the alien smiled and looked deeply into his eyes, the earthling goes - hi. on our planet, we greet people by shaking hands. so the alien goes - hey. on our planet, we have sex by shaking hands.


and it was good.

hello you. two.

this blogpost might be about shaving. seeing as that may not go down well with most of my target audience(8+), may i suggest you see this?

Anyhoo, I don't like shaving for work every day. It is a waste of time and I don't think the clients give a shit about my appearance. They love my personality though.

Fortunately, the above picture isn't mine. The 80s movies would want us to believe that women would dig the man above. In all his matted chestal glory. :l

Come to think of it, isn't our take on body hair a function of what the media/pimps of information would want us to believe? I mean, people were into fitness back in the day as well (case in point. Govinda doing roof top push ups in Hum), but it is only now that fitness has become the new black. much like chest hair. or lack thereof. Do you see where this is going?

I don't.

Legend has it that Anil Kapoor shaves every 4 hours. This isn't fur. It is a living, breathing ecosystem. An illustrative exchange on the sets of Bulandi:

"Kya Shot Diya Anil Bhai! Full Emotion. Ae Gafoor, Yeh Shave Ka Saamaan Laa Re"

Bulandi reminds me of this

Nothing godawful about it really, but I never got the going to meet the girl bit. Coz the girl was a 53 year old Rekha. Maybe I'm strange to find it disturbing.

Meh.

If you're pressed for time, move to the chorus which starts at around 1.30. I used to bust a pelvic move to this till a few years ago. Why am i telling you all of this?

Talking of Anil Bhai, I used to like this song back in the day.

Awwwleeeee.

The other day I was buying something from a streetside vendor. A 13 year old kid, give or take 2 years.

When I asked him the price of his wares *a one foot stuffed horse*, he goes, "Rs.### Uncle"

Post negotiation, when I finally paid him Rs. *** for the said article *a one foot stuffed horse*, I said "Yeh Le Beta"

Fuck My Life.

puchchee

hello 2010. a little late in the day i should think. देर आये मगर दुरुस्त आये. 

i went to bangkok and koh samui (जिधर कहो ना प्यार है की शूटिंग हुई थी ) last month. तोह दोनों पे एक एक पंकती हो जाये, ताकी थोडा शो ऑफ कर सकूं.

ही ही.

Bkk was mostly about shopping, really late nights, 60 year guy next door getting action every night, funny sardars, airport transfers, more shopping, gigantic malls, and interesting fast food. Fast food मतलब बर्गर पीज़ा, ना कि कुट्टू की सबजी और व्रत वाला खाना. Everybody looks the same there and the city smells of मच्छी .Also, there are ample avenues if young boys to umm, become मर्दs .And we met Van Damme at the Sky Bar there. The same guy who's there in the afternoon star movies movies that no one watches.

no, not steven seagal. yes i know, no one watches him either.

                                                            

this is van damme. he's tougher in real life. 

Koh samui on the other hand was mostly about partying, beaches, funky airports, water sports, even later nights, free booze, scootying, and pool. also, cheap calling cards from friendly indian vendor. and awesome food. come to think of it, the food on the trip was consistently good. especially the meal at happy elephant, this seaside tavern. a dh1 recommend!

enough about the trip.

talking of trips, im going to goa the weekend after. so that , if nothing else, shall provide content for my next blogpost.


creativity is me :l


the club people have finally put the badminton tournament board up which has my name on the winner's list. so that's good. who's for crispy chili potato in da club and repping the board while we're at it? i hear you, babe.


cat doon ya gmat?


i bought this 1 ft horse made of cloth from a red light the other day.


ok bye
