After long time I am trying to write something for my blog (but don’t have any idea what to write). Lot of things happened since I posted my last article here, I don’t want to mention them all coz it will be a boring long list. In between I tried to write a story. I wrote almost two third of that. But the hard disc crash of my laptop took the story with it. After that I didn’t have time for this so called creative activity. I visited few places in last month. Punjab, Mangalore, Maharashtra-mainly for official work. Frankly speaking I didn’t like any of those places. Don’t know the actual reason for my disliking. May be it’s the official work that demolished the beauty of those places. I met some new people in those places. But as usual I didn’t make any new frnd.
Anyways few days back I started to write another story. The story was a little bit complicated (as usual-that anyone can expect from me). But after few paragraphs it became too difficult to proceed further. (Simply put- it became too complicated to understand even by me ;).
Before going for the official tour I finished a book by a very famous cosmo physicist. It’s about our universe – Why the universe is like what we see it & also some philosophical fundas about our existence. I thought I will get some new info and analysis about the universe. But all I got the same old craps about the development of our understanding about nature & cosmos. Old fundas in new papers. I wonder why different people try to prove the same thing using different words & style. In fact why anyone have to prove that what they think is right and others have to think in the way they want them to. Sometimes I also think like that only – my thinking is right & the other person’s thinking is wrong. We don’t live in an era where someone is always watching our every move & also every thought as shown in George Orwell’s 1984. No Big Brother is watching us. We are free to think and say things we want to say. But though there is no single big brother there are big brothers among ourselves. And we ourselves created them. So in view of that it can be said that there are people (like the author) who want the others to think like him and follow the instructions that he/she think good for the follower. Now referring the book I read - It’s like the author is giving his own spectacles to the reader and expect that the reader will see the world through that spectacles. The reader may even try to see through it, but he/she will do it until he/she gets a headache. Just like I got one after I finished that book.
In real life we see a broader picture of the same thing I just mentioned above. People want others to think like them & after that-appreciate them. Actually appreciation may be one of the major cause for all these do-as - I-like things. More or less we all want to be appreciated - it make us feel good. Very few can ignore the drug named appreciation. And for some people every thing starts from there...I want to be appreciated> I have to be successful> I need money & power> I have to do some thing that make me different from others> I have to start a new business/work harder/write some management book (containing carp fundas) or novel/ Join politics etc.> I will start feel that- I am different & I belong to some elite class> People will start to think that I am some one special & finally...> I will be appreciated (at least by few). Huge number of exceptions are there. But day by day I think the number is getting reduced. Frankly speaking I personally think its not a bad thing to run behind appreciation after one has fulfilled the basic needs for living.
Now a days I am getting too busy to write for this blog coz current affairs are preventing me to think about the other side of thoughts :( . But any ways in future I will surely try to avoid wasting time by reading bad books & I will try to make time for my blog.
