The aftereffects........

Today was a little off beat . A casual passer - by would obviously not perceive the grandeur , and the pomp and show of the night's gone festival Diwali . For today , the streets were only clouded with bits of papers , many bits , the only remnant and the one reminder to yesterday's celebration . All these will yet be lost tomorrow again , for the cleaners have their holidays not .

Then again the streets seem so goth , so unperturbed , yet so complacent of the obvious festivity . People tend to discover newer realms of spiritual existence , from Diwali , shrouded under higher knowledge , a sense of compulsive , covert erudition , not available to all. We pride ourselves with the knowledge of such mystic truths on this day , but where is the implication of such knowledge in the weeks that follow .

Men 's knowledge their austerity , are slowly soiled by the ever so cruel and unfathomably ruthless elan of the mechanical power . Their prowess , is nothing but their routine ........ for that is all that they can manage .

Pollution has always been under question , but people have much double standards , they conveniently forget that crakers are major cause of pollution . Not that i defy crackers , not at all ......
It is just that its bursting must be regulated , for purpose that our very own younger generation , can effectively sustain their environment for they too are entitled to being and joy .... are they not?

Technology ..... proceed in lesser breakthroughs which a cumulative effect upon our physical or trans temporal state ........

Do we even believe that , such a custom had ever existed , for we are fraught with logic , Reason blinds us and our fore will is beyond our understanding . For we work only towards survival , so do all.

But what has become survival . Our the ages the very base of the word has undergone a unsurpassed change , beyond even our comprehension ...........
because survival is no more about life span its about race for money......

The superpowers of the world are at constant untold wars , striking miseries in regions yet unperceived as the obvious effects . The ruthless political mind games force the weaker hard labourers into oblivion , or much worse .............

The aftereffects are certain .......... but it is periodic ..... every year men take oaths at Lakshmi's foot claiming goodwill , and the middle path ..... what happened to those vows , are they just vouched in a matter of factual manner , is there no end to such and such hypocracies of selfishness ........ to menial a word to even describe the fore .......

Does Diwali not enlighten us with its ancient truths for it is clad in peace but it is enshrouded , obscured , concealed in higher gospels which is yet burlesqued by science as a mere mokery of existance itself........

Shall we never learn???

Diwali Dhamaka

" Diwali ka tyohaar hai aur log Jashn mana rahe hai......."

A little cliched but not too extravagant for the ongoing festival .
Diwali - oft referred to as the festival of light - brings joy and hope to the people of India . People eagerly await for this one festival to let loose their joy...........

As we walk down the streets , we see porches of house adorned with artistic forms of "Rangoli".... and the traditional diyas .



Men have no care for the world , for this time is when families get together and celebrate in oneness . But some are not as fortunate ........ there is no celebration in their house . Maybe , because of the demise of a loved one ......... I had never seen peoples misfortune in this light until I was made aware of this through MR . Bachhan's blog ..... great man indeed.

The bursting of fire crackers is traditional , although many people are obviously unaware the obvious significance behind the act. "The burning of Evil ..... and the dawn of a new goodwill "

People oft subsidize the effort that goes into this unique festival .... One of a kind indeed .
There is a sense of austerity in the air and the feeling of ........ joy is just so rampant that few can oft escape from its clutches .



Even as i write ......... the sound of crackers fill the night sullen air , with a dry eerie sense of longing . For tomorrow , there shall be no enjoyement , no celebration , as if a clock has been turned backward , rather forward , as men return to their Monotonous life of labour , student return to their temple of education , and children are yet unaware why we had to burst crackers .



In all such joy , such fancy , we forget those lives of the temple preists , well thaey had a lot of work to o today didn't they ....
Maybe more than they usually do , but they don't complain , cause they are drenched in the fore joy of worshiping the goddess Mahalaxmi , the bringer of wealth , or so it is told . For them , the celebration is not about candles diya or crackers , it goes farther beyond them , the very spiritual significance of the festivity , comming of Ram , celebrated throughout as a sense of pride , of defeat of good over Evil .The age old fight , oft repeated in history , and oft recorded in scriptures , Ramayana , Mahabharata , Even the bible , khoran , Tohrah .......




Then again , darkness prevails over light .... is what we have been imparted since childhood , the very genre of this festival reflects this ancient truth ..... But none contemplate , none reflect ...Because they have no time from their busy lives ... mechanical .. modern ... thats the names that we give to our generation .. as an excuse for our loss at culture , loss at our life's values

Have we forgotten what we really are , have we ? If we have we can only hope that such festivals remind us of our path and serve as a becon .....

Until then taking leave ........

Infatuation

Real strong word .... but very common amongst teenagers really.

I was victim to proportions of such sort myself , along with some of my friends.
When college started i met this ( i mean saw ) one girl , and thought that she looked cute.
That's the stepping stone to infatuation

Lesson no 1 : NEVER THINK A GIRL IS CUTE UNLESS U KNO HER WELL PERSONALLY : Lest u become subject to haunting thoughts about that girl

Then another of my friend introduced me to one of his classmate , then i seemed to think , nice girl , wonder what kinda girl frnd she would make.

Statutory warning : Never think like that

one of the best examples Samrat and Gunjan , varied sorts of college falling in love with each other ( lame)

Lesson number 2 : NEVER THINK WHAT KINDA GIRL FRIEND A GIRL WOULD MAKE : cause trust me you don't want to get tied down to girlfriends and commitment and all


One of my friends , had a crush on this one girl , well no harm in taking names now is there
( Abhilash and let the girl remain confidential for now )
I saw how he struggled to get her . The level of desperation , fueling his mind with adrenaline and thus causing his downfall because that girl who was once his friend doesn't even sleep facing his direction of late

Lesson number 3 : NEVER GO BEHIND GIRL YOU HAVE JUST MET : its Ok if they accept but if they don't you are simply losing one more likely friend prospect.

Then as the sands of time counted down , i got to know the girl i was talking about first a little better , and came across the fact that she was supposedly commited , or was she?
(let us stop here lest the information becomes too obvious) ,
I learnt of sorts that is better to not hit on a commited girl even though you are aquainted to her boyfriend because that prospect can be quite demeaning now wont it?
There arises a moral conflict in looking at your friends girl friend as more than just a friend

Lesson number 4 : NEVER CRUSH ON A COMMITED WOMEN : lest you get beaten up by her boyfriend or your conscience

Then the dude broke up with her , or maybe she broke up with him , either way , I thought my chances got better , and started trying on her , but my conscience should kick in at the right moment . I was dared to say something to her , which i did but the perverts interpretted it quite differently . I started to dream about her ......... Then i started meditating to clear my dreams of such unnecessary distractions .... yes unnecessary indeed . Then Abhi started hitting on her and the girls ex - boy friend started hitting on the other girl ........ Strange

Lesson number 5 : NEVER , I REPEAT , NEVER THINK THAT YOU CAN GET A GIRL : even if you do think limited lest it disturb your social life or worse your academic life woooo!!!

College - A paradox of sorts

Once after you get into college , you are no more yourself , supposedly ..... You are metamorphosed , or is it really necessary?



Well we must think about that now , should we not ? College has strange ways of acting on the very thoughts of a person setting it into utter turmoil , ambiguity and most of all confusion.


What are the thoughts that run through an average college student , excuse me did i mention there is no such thing as an average college student .

No one has same way of assessing situation , in a strange cataclysmic turn of events every single teeneger was bestowed with what we call "sense of reason" , but is actually a defiance term used against once parents when one is reminded of his responsibilties.

Crushes and Infatuation are the catch phrases of college , colleges were designed for unrealistic infatuation with no surreal base whatsoever.
There are many people who struggle with feeling o overwhelming order , distraught by such terms and alliance of memory. There such amongst us who still remain in the shade about their feelings towards another , lest they become a laughing stock of the college.
There are many more who don't know politics quite as well.

There are still other classes like Casanovans , who know exactly what to do , or do they?
Maybe girls fall for heir looks , A girl dosn't see beyond that ( supposedly) .



And then again what else do they want a tough boyfriend to protect them from danger , and then dispose them away as of no worth ... real strange.

Then there are others who are tagged nerds ..............
Then again there are many amongst them who really are and those of them who are made into one. But they are not subject of this discussion.

There are many who state , claim or write about college saying that it is a "Rolercoster ride" ..
Well I pity these hard hearts ... this is such a cliche that anyone foolish enough to write or say that has no value whatsoever , even though they try to sound profound.

There are many more who act profound ... callous , if u will ........ always silent , seldom speaking , and that to with such scorn that they burn themselves . Well i have already had a lot to say about such people , but this is enough to say an example is a boy who raced me once and who is of assumption that his talent has had its way.......... Well i kno that it is very comforting to live in the darkness of cumulatively obvious facts .,, but we can't blame them can we.

College is best described by every person in his own being , there is no perfect description of a college experience because students themselves are different.
