Real Wild Heroes !

Craze on Hollywood busters always keep people excited and stay freaky. Supernatural heroes on those flicks make all the impossibilities possible to inspire the audience and they are kind of successful most of the time. With their tremendous adventures and actions, they execute the imaginations of their fans on the screens. Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Hulk, X-men, Avengers and many of these kinds of unnatural personalities are down to earth to safeguard our world from the evils. I have no clue how many times these people save our earth from those immoralities. But still, there is the same scale of excitement with furore when the movies of these heroes are screened.

Between, there is an uncommon person who exists in real world but not able to inspire as supernatural humans do. Yes, he is one of the real adventurous human beings on earth. He used to travel almost all possible intemperate places on earth with every possible threat and perturbation over there. He struggles to traverse, to sleep, to find something to eat and in fact to stay alive in the forest or desert or whatever kind of place he has got into. He doesn’t have any supernatural power. He hasn’t born with any extraordinary weapons. He doesn’t know to fly, blow fire, magnetize or in fact he never uses so called technology to survive. He literally fights with nature and stick to apish survival which simply makes us to freeze while watching his life. He does the real adventure when he traverses. He does the real action when he kills his time, scary animals and   weird ambiences.  He is the real survivor no matter whether the world is fittest or not.

Yes, your guess is absolutely correct and the wild man whom I am talking about is Mr.Bear Grylls who is the enactor of ‘Man Vs Wild’ on Discovery Channel.

Yesterday, I was watching one of his episode on a deep African rainforest where he was dying of hunger and so was searching for few fishes on a stream of water with a dim camphor light in the night. Finally, he has caught some weird fishes and cooked them with his campfire and slept in his bushy tent which wasn’t ample to help him out from the heavy rain which showered terribly in the midnight which ended him up completely wet in the morning. Between, there came a break in the show where there was an advertisement for upcoming Superman sequel movie. That made me to contemplate about the personalities which have unfaltering influence on our lives.

In fact, expired Aussie wild adventurist Steve Irwin also has inspired me a lot with his bravery involvement in intrepid activities with wild creatures. Unexpectedly, his own passion on wild adventures has killed him. There are many more people like these two who aren’t known to us since we enjoy more in watching people who kill the unsubstantial baddies and safeguard our planet.  

So, we could also spend at least fiddling time in purveying recognition to these realistic heroes and could popularize them as we do for the sequels of the Tinsel-town superheroes!

Worth of rethinking about it !!

Wake up India !

Echoes of noises are getting overboard across the country about the Lankan issue after a short knocking sound from UN.  As the entire world knows, the intensity of this noise isn’t intentionally raised for the miserable screams of those who are actually suffering in our neighbour land and will eventually go languish in due course. Foreseeable battle for power on the election podium is the reason behind this sudden epidemic heat in the country.

All the political colossi across the country are now cleverly utilising this crucial cruel issue to the fullest to manipulate the allies and vote banks for the most awaited game. The voices of all agitators will ultimately going to make or break nothing in the lives of the actual victims. It makes no sense in calling for emergency after the last breadth of a person on death bed. Just make sense!

They badly needed this moral support and bolstering voices from us when they were in the real situation of catastrophe. We were cornered to pretend like senseless humans when more than 40,000 civilian lives were mercilessly killed. We were literally pretended like blind and dumb enough to walk unnoticed when more than 2,00,000 people were displaced from their homes and suffered with no basic amenities to live. 

Were we really dumbasses?  Were our hearts petrified? Were we intoxicated with inhuman? Were we ruthless on our siblings? Were we busy in our own lives when people were brutally raped, massacred and ill-treated? If not, why the wake-up call pricks our consciences now? So, what and of course why are we going to respond now?

Who is this U.N.  fellow? A unanimously masked global organisation formed by those triumphant nations of world war II who are well known for inscribing colonialism and dictatorship over the rest of the world. Does he really care for the world peace? Does he really penalize the culprits of global crimes?  Does he raise voice against global inhumanities?  “Yes” would be the answer for the above questions only when countries like U.S., U.K., Russia, China and other Iconic European nations are out of the crime loop. It is History which says the above fact not out of my own perception.

In this context, China is indirectly and implicitly involved in the issue in supporting Lankan Military forces throughout the course of war. There are also proofs which say that by being an inertial spectator, how far India helped the Lankan troops to demolish the lives of Tamil Civilians in their land. So, any favourable justice for the actual victims of this cruel human disaster is undoubtedly going to be a pipe dream. We aren’t such hammerheads to believe that mere imprisonment of Rajabakshe will resolve and sort out everything in SriLanka. 

Between, by fueling the burnt issue, politicians are kindling the peace amongst the people in our nation. Again, are we going to be dumbasses? At least now, we should realize that it is the time to stop snoozing to wake up! Let us put period to this stupefied nature of listening to whatever our rulers say though we know they do not deserve to do so. It should be we who should play the game with them and not them with us as always. Until the elections head, these kinds of arousals would be happening as they wish. But, we shouldn’t compromise in these happenings but should get into something which really makes sense in helping those real sufferers in getting their peaceful life back.

Rather leading our Government to instability, we should push it hard to give economic and political pressure to the Lankan Government so as to bring in peace in their northern regions. India should try to get the support of all the nearby nations to help them out in achieving this rather the political landscape plunging the people. Indian Government should come out of diplomacy and nepotistic consequences at least at this point of time since they have swallowed numerous innocent lives.

Wake up India! Raise and voice bit more loudly but with the right chords and towards right channels. No matter whether the party which shows its five fingers or with saffron colour commands us, we need to learn the habit of driving them back…! 

Who the Hell am I ? – II

The overwhelming response of my last post kindled me to pen the follow up. I got multitudes of thoughts from my fellow readers towards my contemplation about the invisible matter named God. Few were quite impressive but still not ample to convert me back to theist from the agnostic bracket.

     Recently, I have come across an interesting post in Facebook about Einstein’s ideological thought about God when he was in a school. He debated with his teacher that whether man could see electricity, heat or any other energy forms? Though they are intangible, we believe that they exist because of the realisation of their utilities. Similarly, God is someone who should be felt rather seen. A man who sourced many scientific theories and derived many tremendous inventions had this rational thought about God in him. I don’t even deserve to negate to his ideology. But, on the other hand, thankfully, I believe that he bolstered my thought.

     According to this gentleman who had extraordinary neurons more than the hairs in his head, we could only feel the existence of God. Of course, if there exists someone who could never be seen, what makes the people to impart shape, colour, attire, power and everything to him according to their comforts and convenience? They have groomed this iconic God regionally however they needed him. On considering this fact, I feel Islam is quite an aberrant way.  It never encouraged the worship of god with any identity. But, noetically, God is someone who resides in ourselves. His existence could be termed as “Self-Belief”. Unless we start believing ourselves, we could not start thinking analytically towards our virtually imbibed life. So, as Einstein says, first feel the god in you. Exploring him outside comes in the later part of realisation. But, traditionally, we are cultured to practice it in the reverse way.

     Another interesting response for my previous post says that man is a bundle of energy which could neither be created and nor be destroyed. Only transformation happens from one creature to another. Creator, preserver and destroyer are responsible for the above obligations. The billion euro question is the mystery behind the creator, preserver and eventually the destroyer. Who are those? Whether there are three or only one? Whether they are really intangible and invisible? I would request all the fellow scientists and researchers with insured brains to figure out this fallacy and the enigma so as to open the rationality of us bit wider.

     Fortunately, our ancestors wanted to frame set of principles and disciplines for the forthcoming generations so as to transform the livelihood of the humans more civilised from being faunal and insane. So, they wanted to create a fear among the people in the form of God and practices in the form of religion so as to incorporate command over their lives to prevent them to get deviated towards immorality. This transformation happened at various parts of the world at various point of times which actually has given birth to multiple religions, rituals and deities. Only strongly positioned religions survive till today. Hope with the scale of advancement in rationality and maturity, we should start mining these thoughts and have to elucidate our practices with reasons. Until then, the hunt for the realisation would persist for anyone with mortal ideologies. Thinking beyond this scope or comfort zone is something which might not be a thing to be bothered for many. But, an itching thing for few. Unfortunately, I am falling under the latter category.  So, intense reasoning is hindering me these days whenever I used to do something which I have been doing from day one of my life without reasoning.   

Hunger for realisation to be continued….! 

Pyaar Ka Punchnaama

“Committed” and “Break up” are kind of becoming status symbols these days primarily because of significant intervention and influence of western life style and social media.  I mean to depict about profound notion of today’s trend of ”Love”.  People are so much interested in responding others for these queries rather being interested in the people on whom they have fortunately fallen in so called relationship. Almost all the relationships are turning like recharge coupons with very limited validity which has been a popular trend in the society.  Funniest part of this crappy culture is that those supposedly committed freaks are querying those single people about their status and cracking poorest possible joke over them. I would like to deliver my laughter for their prank with a managerial justification sticking to it.

I could recollect about what one of my professors has said few months back when we headed to a business school life that “Management” and “Business” are omnipresent entities which could be imbibed in almost every possible thing in both personal and social life apart from corporate. I was having a perplexed perception on his saying till recent past, but these days I could able to relate everything happening in my life with management sticking to it. This interpretation might be because of my grooming in managerially matured state of mind.  But, I do not completely agree with this fact because I believe more in human perceptions rather on inhuman contemplations.  But I do agree that in all prospects, we can think from an angle of business or management. Alright, my recent application of this interpretation is on human relationships.

Few days back, one of my fellow friends asked me the same question. “Are you committed man?”. My response was just a laughter to the query before answering it which made him to make a wild guess that I am still single. He replied in marketing perspective, “If you could not even able to sell yourself to someone, how could you be able to sell other things and you could become at least a mediocre marketer in the offing?”. He is someone who is quite frequent in changing his relationship status in social media. I was cornered to reply him with the same marketing angle, “Unless you focus the appropriate target audience with intense research, no matter whatever you do to market your product. You will undoubtedly end up in a break up before your breakeven. “. He tried debating but I never used to waste my time in pointless debate which would end up almost in a zippo.

Although you do not believe in both philosophy and science, the bare truth of life is that you are down to earth to live independently. “Infatuation” and “Crush” are mere words of fantasy and fun which are in fact depictions of emptied flavours of life.  They might seemingly make your life funny but not comprised. So, solitude is something which travels with us throughout our journey till the day of expiry. This lacuna could never be replaced unless you find someone who could really stuff it with intensely true love and care which is something harder to achieve in this mechanical world. Until you find someone like them in your life, your relationship status makes no sense to the outside world and in fact you are showcasing it to yourself with a cracked mirror. Better stop wasting time in loving insane people and start kindling yourself to love yourself first which would make more sense instead. If your relationship is fading with time, why the hell you want to fall into it rather you could jump out of it. For people especially like me who are extremely choosy in admitting people in the radius of our world, how come it would be a cake walk in focusing on our target market followed by better positioning? Using strategies in a bountiful market is something equivalent in par with writing your name on a shore where the waves are quite frequent. Try to figure out your niche market segment before becoming an entrepreneur.

Until then, dare to stay single rather depending on someone!

~The Legendary Woman~

Music is the best medicine despite the kind of disease you are suffering from. I completely believe in the above saying cordially from my own experience in life. There is a constraint when it comes to music that it has to be undertaken longitudinally. The faith contributes more to this factoid rather rational thinking. I would like to prescribe the following medicine though I could not legally do that without a doctorate.

Whenever I happen to listen to “Vishnu saharanam” or “Baja Govindham” or “Kurai Ondrum illai” tracks on my playlist, my reflex remains the same. Simply Goosebumps! If I describe M.S.Subbhalakshmi as a legend, it would definitely be an understatement to such an extraordinary lady. I cannot ever imagine anyone in par with her vocal chords.  Such a matured, thick, stable, candied vox not only imbibes spirituality but also completely waters the soul and inducts the inner peace. I have come cross many anecdotes wherein many humans used to get boons from the supernatural power which I barely believe. But now, I am cornered to conceive this fact whenever I happen to listen to her collection of songs. Her voice has an inherent potent of even converting an atheist to a theist.  

She has been rightly honoured in getting the privilege of reverberating every morning with her "sahasranaam" chanting at Tirumala, the worldly renowned Hindu temple where Lord Venkateshwara is residing. All her tracks give us a mumsy experience that our own granny is singing to delight us. In no time, all my heavily weighing miseries become light and I end up in enthralling while listening to her tracks. I am not that much interested or crazy about the traditional Carnatic vocals. But, when it is a make of MS, my interest hardly matters.

Though physically distant from us, celestially she is living with us. I never feel like she has moved far away from the earthly things.  I am warmly privileged to listen to my granny’s songs in my playlist everyday!! A boon basically has two flips. I am on the other side of it J

Many medicines to follow J  

Who the hell am I?

Even after an ample period of brainstorming from the day one when I have started thinking on my own in my life, I couldn’t figure out my societal status when it comes to deity. Yes. I couldn’t uncover or frame my own principle in discovering my destiny towards someone who has created me. Still, my conscience is yet to unriddle the myth which keeps me going in my so called life. I could not stringently conclude myself whether I am a theist or agnostic or eventually atheist human.   

     Orthodox ambience, traditional practices, vedic chantings, spiritual tours comprise most of my lifestyle being brought up in a typical Hindu Brahmin Family.  Retrospectively, I haven’t left out to think beyond what I have been supposed to do which has never kindled me to contemplate towards any rational realization. Introspectively, after the exposure of multitudes of personalities, books, happenings in my recent life, my mind has inducted to traverse towards a rational track of thoughts and ideas.

     Now, whenever I happen to go to any temple, happen to worship, happen to chant spiritually or happen to pray even unknowingly, I am able to contemplate with a big query “WHY am I doing it?” followed by many trivial but intense queries running through my neurons. Has lord Brahma really created me? Lord Vishnu is safeguarding me? Lord Shiva is awaiting me? Allah and Jesus are there to care for the worldly people? If that is not the case, on whom are we incidentally relying on? Who is monitoring us throughout our existence here?  If there exists something called second world, where is it? Who heads it? Does God is an inherent form of fear? Relentlessly, I am in a hunt to discover answers for these seemingly rhetoric queries.

     I could sensitively feel some transformation within me which pushes me towards a dark room with no candle in my hands. It actually makes me to think rationally because of which I am becoming an agnostic human with a baffled state of mind in searching for the almighty of every amazed creation in a place where I was thrown in to live an ambiguous phase so called life. So, a typical theist is grooming as an agnostic with a forecast of emptiness towards the horizon.  I have started intuitively feeling that there is only one religion called “Love” actually exists and all the notional religions like Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and all the survivals are preaching towards the same objective in channelizing the humans towards this universal or infinite love.  Empathy of this universal fruition would groom only if people stop bothering much on inconspicuous omnipresent or omnipotent almighty and start involving themselves in caring and loving their fellow creatures beyond the religious fences. This is the only weapon to dissolve hatred and grief in evolving into its superlative shape in destroying the humanity.

     I am pretty unclear whether I will end up as an atheist or will remain agnostic throughout my life but an intimate realization has started lingering in my mind which would emphatically steer me towards the motive of self-motivation  in living for humanity rather wasting my golden lifetime to live for myself !! 

End of an Era!

     Apart from politics, there are only two things on which most of the Indians are crazy about. One is ‘Bollywood’ and the other is of course ‘Cricket’. Cricket in India has more followers than any religion has. Interestingly, unity grooms in every Indian heart when it comes to cricket. Though the craze exists from few decades ago in the country, the intensity of furore has got its superlative shape purely because of the supernatural human named “Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar” on the field.  He inspired almost every cricket fan in the country from six to sixties. In fact, I believe in the popularly known factoid about him “Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting. They will go unnoticed because even the Lord will be watching”.

     Ironically, his recent announcement on retirement from ODI has been the emotional shocker not only to Indian but to world cricket despite the petty talks from useless critics. Nobody on earth is deserved enough to postulate this legend to move out of cricket field but seemingly the contemporary happenings forced him to take this decision. Anyways, he has created an unmatchable history of records in world cricket in all forms which no other human could get ahead in the near future.   

     He has been the most complete batsman of his time and has literally been worshipped by many including me. His experience is almost equivalent to my age and though being a diehard fan of Dada, I always used to agree that I am a deep follower of this little master. He has inspired me in almost all possible ways in cricket and I still remember in my childhood how me and my pals used to imitate all of his shots and tried to adapt his style of game like a mad. We hardly bothered any exams when Sachin was on the field the previous day. Even today, all commitments and engagements used to get deferred when Sachin is on the crease. His inspiration has potently persuaded across many generations.

     Having Sachin on strike has been a nightmare to all the bowlers of the world. He has blasted the deliveries of all the famous bowlers of world cricket throughout his career. No matter whether the game is of test, ODI or T20 form, he has been the king of all records ever made. His strokes, drives, hooks, scoops could never been effaced from our memories. He is really more than Bradman of our time.

Following are few quotes about Master blaster which portrays how he has been conceived by people across the globe.

"During our team meetings, we often speak about the importance of the first 12 balls to Tendulkar. If you get him then you can thank your stars, otherwise it could mean that tough times lie ahead." – Allan Donald

"I have delayed my shoots many times to watch Sachin bat" – Amitab Bachan

“There are 2 kind of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others. “– Andy Flower

“I am fortunate that I've to bowl at him only in the nets.” – Anil Kumble

"You get him out and half the battle is won" – Arjuna Ranatunga

“You might pitch a ball on the off stump and think you have bowled a good ball and he walks across and hits it for two behind mid wicket. His bat looks so heavy but he just waves it around like it's a toothpick. He is genius but I am a mere mortal. “ – Bret Lee

“He has been in form longer than some of our guys have been alive.” – Daniel Vettori

“The joy he brings to the millions of his countrymen, the grace with which he handles all the adulation and the expectations and his innate humility - all make for a one-in-a-billion individual.” – Glen McGrath

"The way he has taken on the role of India's greatest sporting ambassador... He has, among other things, inspired a generation and more to play cricket." – Kapil Dev

“The pressure on me is nothing compared to Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin, like God, must never fail. The crowd always expects him to succeed and it is too much pressure on him. But, he rarely disappoints them.” – Mark Waugh

“I have seen God, he bats at no. 4 for India” – Mathew Hayden

"There will never be another Sachin Tendulkar." – Muthaiah Muralidharan

“Sachin made 9 centuries in one year but many cricketer did not make 9 centuries in their whole career.” – Saurav Ganguly

“I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing us to breathe the same air as you do.” – Sharukh Khan

“It was one of the greatest innings I have ever seen. There is no shame being beaten by such a great player, Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don.” – Steve Waugh after losing with India in Coca-Cola Cup in Sharjah

“Tendulkar has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years. It is time we carried him on our shoulders.” – Virat Kohli stated after winning the world cup

“I think he is marvellous. I think he will fit in whatever category of cricket that has been played or will be played, from the first ball that has ever been bowled to the last ball that’s going to be. He can play in any era and at any level. I would say he’s 99.5% perfect.” – Vivian Richards

 “Certainly the best I’ve seen... People talk of (Sir Don) Bradman, but our generation and the ones immediately before us didn’t get to see him... Sure, he has an astounding average (99.94), but of the cricketers I’ve watched, Sachin’s the best. He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also.”

-Waqar Younis

“I dont know what to bowl at him. I bowled an inswinger and he drove me through covers of the front foot. Then I bowled an outswinger and he again punched through covers of the backfoot. He is the toughest batsmen I've bowled to. He should live long and score lots of runs, but not against Pakistan.”

– Wasim Akram

World cricket is definitely going to miss this gentleman and the replacement is quite unimaginable in the offing. Both congratulations and thanks are emphatically understatements in depicting his contributions to Indian team. Eventually, the span of boon to Indian cricket has got over and we are going to experience a huge vacuum in the team which would ultimately be a herculean task for the rest players to fill up.  

Miss you badly Little Master…!
