after-effect of swades

ha! just finished watching the movie in run-over-the-scenes mode..okay its nt going to be senti or supposed-to-be-inspirational( wonder if my words can ever be inspirational!!:O) blog. I've had dinner since then and now sipping my fav tulsi tea. :)
But just wanted to record my thoughts as quickly as possible as these will fade away quickly...( u rock blogspot). For a start I was cursing myself wat the ffffff I ws doing in BITS. Atleast I shud hv learnt the motors and generators part.....atleast!!!!!!!!!! ha! then i cud hope to heroically bring electricity to a village in Punjab and some beauty falling in love wid me!!!omg dis is getting orgasmic!
But seriously, goddamn it!!!!! shud hv concentrated on the basics atleast!! i had no idea why the hell ws shahrukh rotating the motor when the turbine started moving?? wasn't it supposed to be moving wid the turbine?? or ws it some kind of those weird motors( induction motors?) where you give a self-start to the motor...faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!:( :( :(
nw that my time for learning engineering has gone, I better start thinking seriously of smart ways where i can get into a village and be their hero!:) ( i wonder if Juniper Networks can help me in this endeavor....may be install routers in the village!! so that the grandma could finally talk to her son working hard miles away and sending back money by the ever-reliable money-order.) or the farmer gets that extra buck negotiating with a city-dweller for his crop! but this is the job of ISP's dude..join BSNL then..okay enough of this crap.
Lets get to the point. The motive why I wanted to write..
Frankly, I felt so comfortable after watching the movie..the fact that I am in India.But as he said, not because this is a great country...only because its MY country..this is home!
The fact that 20% of humanity lives in dis area makes it only obvious that progress of this country is absolutely important for humanity...but the fact is dat shahrukh ws wat he ws only because he spent so much time at a top American organisation whr he learnt everything...lets not harp over d fact that the 'talent' ws indian...dats nt a big deal i think....if we are home to 20% of total humanity, then we can be expected to produce same proportion of talent...okay the same harping is about to follow if I allow...we need to do it dat way..dis way...lite! we know all dat!

My point is lets not get obsessed with the term 'indian' or indianness and simply realize the fact that our progress is vital because human-beings are dying and suffering tremendously in this part of the world. Now further than this I'm nt in a position to say we shud do dis or dat coz Mr. Wilson is himself doing nothing really!!! And now Mr. Wilson is back to his wonder.He ws supposed to be going to write a great blog...and here I am..back to self-wonder!!!wtfffffffffffff!

Delta..can't live without it

I hv to come straight to to it nw...wasted way too much time til nw..

A thought just struck my head this afternoon after having lunch. What is the most important thing human-beings can't live without? Okay, they can of course still live without it if you go by the dictionary meaning of 'live', but really, what makes human-beings really live?? What did Mr. Wilson think to that one?

And then comes to Mr. Wilson's mind, the thought of change.Change??? Seems vague...another tiresome piece of philosophy is about to unfold...Mr. Wilson thinks.Not again!!!!Pls don't do a repeat of those speaking tree columns again Mr. Wilson...what's the matter with you!!

But Mr. Wilson can't help it. He's been given this wonderful resource called blogspot.com to pen down his thoughts...so why not!!! The more they're stupid...and childish...the more interesting they become to read tomorrow!

So what was Mr. Wilson upto?? Change!! The one thing Mr. Wilson or any other other human can't live without? Mind you, Mr. Wilson is not talking of big changes here. Mr. Wilson will give only small examples of change to convey his whole point.

So we'll assume our Mr. Wilson is the same chap...the office-goer.Or may be we should assume something else..okay, for a start we'll try to list down some aspirations of humans.Nay, that wud be way too boring. Mr. Wilson's pretty confident the readers of this blog would get sick of reading that list. So no point. Lets get to the point directly. Mr. Wilson also wants to say that aspirations are nothing but the desire for change.And since no one wud like a change in the downward direction,thus, the desire for change in the upward direction is labelled as aspiration.

To illustrate his point more, Mr. Wilson wants to delve into smaller aspirations.Like eating out, the desire of Mr. Wilson to write this blog, play, doing naughty things and then feeling good and proud about it, calling friends and wishing them happy new year, meeting new people, going places...what else? all these are everyday examples of human desire for change...the desire that the next moment should be different from the previous one...only then I can feel life right? If the previous and now are same, its as good as dead right? Wat else...Work!!omg!! I think Mr. Wilson just realized why work played such an important role in deciding the qualty of Mr. Wilson's life? Because work was the one thing which satisfied Mr. Wilson's human desire for change! If Mr. Wilson went to office on a day and could complete a part of working of the tool he was working on, nothing could give him more satisfaction!!

Promotion...increase in salary...thats something which gives Mr. Wilson this very thing!! But I am afraid, only for a few moments..or days may be...after dat its no change...its pretty much part of the routine now.. and now if for a reason,Mr. Wilson has to get back to the same old role as earlier, he won't be too happy about it...obb!! its a change downwards!

just get the feeling these are way too obvious things which should appear monotonous and boring to a normal reader because of its obviousness.. well, then lets come to the point why i had to start all this discussion?

The above mentioned desire was, is and will always remain the characteristic of each and every human-being forever.The style of implementation might be different for different ppl,much interestingly..wonder how Buddha satisfied this inevitable desire..and then I think...did the continuous change in his thoughts...the continuous churn....in his mind...provided him with the change...Mr. Wilson is of the view that one cannot rest/meditate all the time. Rest and activity complement each other. All the suggested forms of meditation are geared towards rest.

This seems to be an abrupt end...but i'll continue on this soon..
