Animal Instincts

There were two related incidents which made me write this post or rather even come to the conclusion...

Number1. Watched Blood Diamond, more than a movie being fictional i felt the intensely power of media for the first time. I actually could relate to any blooshed, war or even what is now happening in Srilanka. As one of the chain mail goes our newspapers and TV news channels carry so much of negative information - always bloodsheds, domestic violence, injustice to women and children.. somehow we get used to it and stop feeling bad to those things. Or i guess we realise we cant do much and give up on the issues.

Number2: Was going through an acquaintance's orkut profile and his communities, came across this community called as "Indian Mythology" http://www.orkut.com/Main#Community.aspx?cmm=277603 with catchy description. So started going through the discussions. Very impressed with people of our generation knowing so much about these fact ( well i get impressed with anyone good at facts as I am bad at facts. Math is still at spot #1 :-D . How much ever i try, well the dedication toward trying is pretty less, i dont seem to get them ) Initial enthusiasm faded as i read this topic "who is the strongest and the most powerful GOD?" http://www.orkut.com/Main#CommMsgs.aspx?cmm=277603&tid=5258306534889123682 . Whole 100 odd posts were crap. Had it been a GD, it would have been worse than a fish market.

This is when i realised humans were not successful enough to wipe out their animal instincts even after being civilized for more than 5000 years. When was the last time we hunted for food??? nowadays we really dont get to hunt, so we want other means to unleash that power, THE POWER TO OVERPOWER someone else. We just want to fight, reasons are not important. For a person who believes hindu muslim religious differences and communal riots are waste of time and energy, fighting about whether shiva or vishnu is stronger and they bring facts and vedic verses to prove it. Heights of joblessness!!!

I guess more than greed for money or power, it is about something deep inside us which we need to realise. We are homo sapiens and we dont have much hair left on our bodies to behave like monkeys any more. Not just one country, not just one civilization, every part of this world we have history to prove this... right from downfall of civilizations to european expeditions to oil wars to palestine. To top it all we make fictional movies where aliens also come to fight us or fight each others. I cant even hope that even in other galaxies we have a different mentality :) - Hope they dont make movies where we make such movies bcoz that proves that every life giving element has a aspect to urge them to take the very element which gave them life.

characteristics

Prads goes what are his characteristics about a guy whom we were discussing about. The semi-nerd that I am I went he freezes at 0 degree centigrade and boils at 100 degree centigrade. Nerd because chemistry came to my mind and semi nerd because I didnt know properties of elements other than H2O. :P ( idiot h20 s not an element .. aah mixture naah.. oh yes Compund .. finally!! ) Well I thought if at all people are ever going to discuss my characteristics let me inform them about me rather than me being compared to water or any non complicated name place person thing.

Professor Mytho Goddonium in attempt to create a perfecter little tom boys, which generally uses the following procedure:

Argon (AR) at 14 degree centigrade and 1985 atmospheres of pressure, at which Argon loses all its inertness and acts uniquely excited. Argon is made to expand through a nozzle directed at a irregular cylindrical shaped Carbon (C) block with possible dimensions 5.6 feet in length and radius 20 Max ( Author is bad at maths i got this much calc done is commendable acc to authors standards). This process is to be continued till the carbon block is saturated with Argon gas. According to my marcom survey, the jobless guys reading this are from IT, hence please make sure the process is documented. Maintaining the pressure for about 9 months, Hydrogen (H)gas [Please note in absence of oxygen else the end results would be explosive, and it is way apart from what is intended ;) ] is solidified and is pressed with carbon block imbrued Argon gas to make it supersaturated with Hydrogen.



At this stage the resultant chemical mixture is called ArCH. Professor Goddonium confessed he was struck by a good sweet thought of being nice to ppl ( ok!! i am not exaggerating give credit to me for being nice ofcourse :P ) that gave the composition a different nature compared to just getting the chemical composition to create perfecter little tom boys. Excited about how a good thought would change his creation, he was about to shout eureka ( well this prof s Goddonium and he cant be seen :P :P :P so no point me clarifying abt his clothing ) and realised he needed to teach grammar. The first couple of words he taught her were AN and A, what we call the article first chapter in any grammar book :P

Can i be more pakao.. do give me ideas !!!!! U can also comment anything abt me, what you think of me!!!!!

Starting Problem

  

Weirdness at its best aka me, Suddenly i have stopped reading books. Why so... Thinking if i finish reading this what will i read after that. ( Oh my god I am like this ... :- well i am surprised. I am unpredictable :P for myself ) I have a huge back log of books. and I have been saying so from past almost 6 - 7 months. Yes even though my choice would change, but come on! I have fiction and thrillers and I am not reading em!!! Do not want to devour them. Its not like we are running out of good book but who would tell me that. and who s gonna listen. ( Yes I have lost it )

I have always faced this starting problem. The fear of the unknown. And after that i would literally be indulged in it and have the best time of my life.


I still remember one of the oldest vague incident. "It happened to me". I was 2 yrs old and I was scared of slides. I would go sliding ( in a slide wat else do u expect ... i cant stop laughing ) and what would happen to me. So Dad coaxes me ok climb up and u can climb down.I cant believe what other kids were doing, well i still was not beaten up. When i reached the top. He asked me to sit and enjoi the view. I was scared of heights. So he climbed up and literally kicked me. I thought he was coming to hold me. Well that was my dad :P I went tumbling down ( jack and jill ;) ) scratched my hand in the walls of the slide. I dont know how guilty dad was feeling but the weird me i started enjoing it. I don think i ever felt the pain in enjoyment . And I started going there every evening and every weekend. and well this is me.

Not just with books, playing.. literally with everything. Going for a family function , going to a shop, getting to know a person, talking to a stranger. ( You guys thought you knew me :P ) and Stage toh don even ask.

Anything new i struggle so much. I need to imagine me being there and done that :) . Well this post was to get me to finish all the back log of book. And thats it. :P

Reviving ourselves.

Working in IT, I never felt globalization has any ill effects. It has given our country employeement. We have more spending power. Our country has been recognised in the whole world for technological contribution. Better products are available. We are no different than our client counterpart. BUT...Has Globalisation taken away the spirit of Indianism. Rather the Nationalistic feeling for one's own country. The greatest Identity one can have.

This was so till i watched this Video again. We have lost something great. Even though it is intangible, we have lost the spirit of Ourself. When was the last time we sang National Anthem? When was the last time we even stood up in perfect attention postion for the same. Last i remember the words "National Anthem" was used when NRN was accused of not respecting our nation.


I still rememeber when Prathiba Patil gave her first presedential speech at about 2 pm, we were having our lunch. The volume was low. When i realised it was our National Anthem being played. I didnt see anyone from the tables near the TV standing up. Finally one brave chap stood up... to face the giggles of his friends. "Its ok no one is bothered" Is it so???
