Rule of the Jungle!!

Remember your acts of wildness when you were born?

Someone rightly said:

"Child is the father of man"

I don't know what really to be inferred from this but what I actually did is as:
Whatever we have learned about the evolution and mankind is only because of the new generation. Imagine a world where everyone is elder to you and no new births occurred after you. Your whole life would be puzzled. You won't have a clue as to why you does a particular thing.

Anyways, what I wanted to share is the basic instinct you possesses. I have heard somewhere that the rule of the jungle is - Survival of the fittest. This thought initiated a stream of thoughts on why is this rule and what are the aftereffects? And is this rule a fallacy? What if this is not a rule and only an illusion? Why is that humans are not actually following this rule ( I think we follow survival of the smartest rule ;))

Well, to start with if everyone in the jungle know this rule then it is natural to them to be the fittest, if not, try to be. When ever i used to see street dogs fighting with each other I always have observed that the weakest dog usually pull his jaws wide open to show his sharp canines and also puff his fur to increase in volume. And many a times this helped the dog.

As a part of the jungle we always have this instinct in ourselves. Whenever we are in vicinity of any stranger the sense of insecurity creeps in. We tend to be more aggressive. We think we are more likely to get hurt. And the defense mechanism of our body prepares ourselves to face the situation. And you won't even know about it. The effect is you try to break the ice yourself or at least tend to. Usually all tries to be superior in front of others because of this.

This turns them a little hostile. They tend to react negatively. You will always find people are not very comfortable with strangers in the first meeting. All credit goes to this very instinct. Then there are people who are very easy-going. We call them "people's man". We know that he has some charm and knows a way around people. But all he do is show others that he is harmless.

You wanna try? Just watch small children's actions when you try to behave hostile to them compared to when you behave nice to them, if you can. Kids know this sub-consciously. So, whatever you do just believe in youself and remember the basic rule of jungle.

Once you know how to control this you can be the king of the jungle!!!

You!!

You were the first, the last as wished.

He was free ,restless, careless, thinker. He dared. Everything was for him. He was free in his world. He never followed the rules. He bent them always to his likes. He knew the manipulation tricks. Always been immune to things around.

You showed.

He is not he anymore. Tied. Lost. Focused. Mixed. Determined. Aggressive.
He is he again, but...

Once bitten, twice he dare not try!!!

Interfaces

Something's must have been changed. Well, a lot.

It was a cool evening as I think. I was as usual riding my bike to it's max capacity through the busy roads of Pune. I love this thing, I thought. Nonetheless, I was supposed to be somewhere and I was late. This was no different for me. I have spent three full years and a little more in this place. I own this place. Every bit of it. But, something went missing right from the start. There never was any connection in between us. I never inhaled that portion of air which sends nostalgic simulating waves to your brain. Never. I never cared for anyone. I was one easy-going man. And I reached there. I collected the change and I was on my way back. I know these things are coming to an end. I have a very little time.

I was prepared to go from this place. The strange part was there was not a single thought about missing the place. Though I missed the people there for the first time in my life. I have changed. I knew it. I never missed anybody in my life. I am not sure who brought this change, but, I guess SMone must have. I never realized people around me were important. They never were, now I am not sure. I had my time, shot and whatever.

I reached my last resort. I was happy. I am ready to transform once again. Something sticked. It was smothering me and I was liking it. I started my to-be-usual routine. My ride is changed now. The speed is not in my control. I can just sit quietly in there. I cannot choose my co-passengers. I become totally dependent on public transit. And during their no-show I prefer to walk . Wish i could Fly. Lolz. I see people and their faces. It's so easy to connect with them. Just to hear them smile you stretch your lips a little micrometers. Everything was customized for me. Someone knew what I wanted.

It was like you just uninstall windows and installed Linux/whatever-you-like. The whole GUI is changed. I started to like everything. I am glad that this happened.

I knew my interface has been changed. For Good.

It happens gradually!!

Taking the pains to write all this here is the sign.

When I thought to write a blog I just did like everybody else. And then I realized that it all turn out to be the same way. You get to think over zillions of things but not the time or environment to discuss these. Eventually you end up somewhere like the blog sites or SNS venting out your thoughts on almost everything around you. About people you love, care, see, think, follow,etc. about events around you, your life and its effects.

Then there is another factor which may seem a little unintentional but it still hold its stand. It is the power of your words. you know like you have the control over what you say and nobody is there to criticize you directly. And it gives you the complete space. To Quote - "The best part of talking to oneself is that one is sure someone's listening. " So with all these little tits-bits I am here to blah-blah............

Enlightened?

I was right there-lying on my bed and enlightened.

I started to think heuristically. I thought I know this, but how, question needs an answer. Then I remembered almost all the things I knew and found myself trying to figure out how I know so many things. And then there are so many other things which I do not know. So the simple question is – If you know something then how do you have probably acquired the knowledge we are talking about.

People tend to come up with answers like I have learned it in school or if they know a fact; they say someone’s told them. So is it like when someone’s actually telling you something you learn it by believing on his/her words or is the case a little different here. There might be numerous things which you come across on any normal day but you won’t believe all what you come across... or would you?

Somewhere I think we are actually driven by the sub-conscious mind and this so-very-conscious mind is all a frame which is built-up to keep us busy and off the process of the sub-conscious. I feel that sub-conscious has a sort of connection to something beyond physical. That explains how one can be creative. It is like when you think of something new on your own. It’s your idea. You never usually think about how an idea can germinate in your mind. Though you find it in a conscious state of mind, it is actually conceived by your sub-conscious.

When you are telling jokes to people have you ever observed that they smile when they actually get the joke and not like they start to smile as soon as you finish the joke? Some people might do it at a later time. Why is it so? Why cannot all the people who listen to the joke simultaneously, laugh at the same time. Why that is all the students in the class listen to the same lecture and some get more knowledge out of it and the others get less. Why some students are good and some aren’t?

The answer to the above and likewise questions is one of the absolute truths (if there are more than one) and the humble writer calls it ‘enlightenment’. It explains everything we know till date. The things which you thought somebody else has taught you are actually learnt by you. It is your mind that generates everything. If we talk about the jokes you will see that one laughs when the joke thing actually dawns in his/her mind and not because someone says, “I just told you a joke”. All the things you have learned till date are only the result of enlightenment. Although this form of enlightenment varies from your perception of it. Life is a result of small enlightening moments. Next time when you learn something you might realize that the small process of enlightenment just happened to you.

Sometimes you keep trying hard to learn something and still not getting it. All of a sudden you get it in a flash. What was stopping you from learning it earlier? You cannot explain it. Enlightenment is not in your control. You need to explore it to use it as a tool. Once you know it you will surely enjoy it all your life.

So, are you enlightened?

Days Passed by....

Days passed by,
people come and go.
I stand and wonder,
to my much ado

They sing and chatter,
I lend them ears.
Days passed by,
and turned into years.

They fight and dispute,
I give them advice.
Days passed by,
I am still a novice.

They Love and Care,
I can never dare.
Days passed by,
I just sit and stare.

They dance and celebrate,
I give them company.
Days passed by,
but it's still not my cup of tea.

They live and die,
I can only see.
Days passed by,
I'm what I'm supposed to be.

I know this before, it took time to dawn.

The other day I was thinking of nothing. Almost forgot how to do that for a while.

It all started with an idea. I saw the clock at exactly 4:42 A.M. I don't know whether it was the time but I somehow thought, yes. I was trying to avoid looking at anything and I successfully closed my eyes. I was supposed to concentrate on something, like my breathing process. There was, however, enough noise in it. thanks to the cold. Then I thought I might look for something and stick to it as well thinking of nothing. Soon I realized that multiple threads are in action inside my mind. I think of Sun with which came the broad daylight and the sky, trees, birds. Then came the moon, me sad. Followed the stars, in abundance. Then I thought of a COMET ( it is of professional significance too) and I took a cosmic ride. I was away. Darkness approached me from all quarters. And I was elated. I know it is the beginning. I have felt this way before. Only that I have less courage now but more power to go ahead.

I went with the flow and was falling into the never-ending darkness. I was losing mass. I know it was okay. I want to lose more. Something was missing. I wasn't connected. I lack practice. I was in the then present state of inertia for few more moments. And I suddenly thought, the very first thought, that I am not able to sustain it. I am getting thoughts. I have to make office after few hours. I need to get a sleep. I have to dream. I stopped.

Now it was time to look at the clock. I did it in a snap. For a fraction of second I did it again at exactly 4:49 A.M. and closed my eyes. I was excited. It was coming back to me. I know I stand a chance. I was relaxed. The darkness was fading. And I forgot everything.

Soon I felt that someone was knocking at the door. I woke up suddenly to find out that my roommate wants to come in. It was 8:36 A.M. I remembered everything. I was elated.

And now I am ready for something.
