Is it the end?

I thought I was always awesome, but a girl showed me the true way... Maybe her dad was always right - "Never ever expect much from life."
Love is a dangerous disease; never let it rule your head, is what I know. In spite of knowing this adage I was affected by this disease at the very end of my engineering. Ironically it can be called as the start of my engineering, as after a "let us just remain friends" reply from my better half I expected -- my life, my behavior, my attitude was changed to the same as I was in my first year, careless spoil brat-- the only notable difference being that I had developed a misanthrope feeling. This obvious feeling was not because she rejected me, it was because I thought 'I do not deserve her'.  This is what I frame, her actual words were "I am not worth your love"... but how can I defame someone for whom I have fallen for so badly? I mended her words and made it my way, actually favoring her way, "The author of this blog does not deserve her." I tried to manipulate her each and every word such that it becomes music to my ears. I had been saving all her messages - "I love you", "You are the best."
 I never thoughts these lines have just a banal meaning and they do not mean anything superlative... I made a mistake of over thinking on such adage; instead of over thinking I should have thought over her words. The condition soon turned worse. A guy believes that he should keep himself in a girl's best-friend's good books to get close to a girl, and similar was my thinking; the biggest mistake in this entire story lies here. 'Never ever take another route to talk to a girl', the "I love you" message which you pass to someone which has to be delivered to that special someone, the message is distorted and either the "I" or the "love" or the "you" is always missing. In my case all three were missing. The girl whom I had thought could be my wingman or for this instance wing-woman, was the one who shot my plane. Some other guy entered into the story, being a wingman, her duty is to keep others away from the sister plane; in fact the counterfeit wingman allowed the trespasser to be the king. Things went wrong, I had to drop Barney Stinson's beautiful ineffective textbooks methods and get back to the reality--the "head over heels" situation was only from one side. Girls never know what they want, this is true till they get someone who teaches them to select gets they want. A girl will eventually learn what she wants...but should she learn it in a positive way or should she learn it from a heartbreak...I never want to see her crying or sad, but today I hope that my special one gets the heartbreak feeling, not that I want to hurt her for rejecting me, but YES, I am selfish and I want her...

TECH--NO--logy? OR YES?

"Computer a boon or a bane?", "Are mobile phones serving the right purpose?", "Internet to encourage young crowd for notorious activities".   These are few comments or statements often heard or read in the newspapers or on the televisions.  All these statements concentrate our mind onto one topic, "Is technology overtaking human brain for solving the problems?".  I am of the opinion that technology often hinders with human thinking and impedes a persons thinking capability--the person is dependent on the technology--even for his daily life problems.
    Consider early 1990's when the computer:the greatest human invention, was not present, was a man not knowing the distance between earth and the moon, or was the man not knowing the speed of light? Was it necessary for a common man to check the temperature of the fire before putting hand into it? All these questions have just one answer.  A man was sensible enough that he could live his life without technology. 
    The spherical-elliptical shape of the earth was discovered by Galileo much before any one could think of internet or computer.  Sun is just a source of energy and not a god of life or light was told by Galileo with his observations and calculations and not by computer or technological aid.
    Letters and messages were sent in writing during early 1900's when Facebook or smartphones were just imaginations.  Was a man abstained from his living as there was not technology? Certainly no.  In fact during the absence of technology, the man was independent and could work even if there was a power failure or technical shortage.
    As a person is depending on technology for his daily problems, the other side of the coin tells us that technology helps us in making the life of person a luxury. Twelve cylinder 6000 cc car is obviously much better than a horse buggy, pressing a mobile phone button is much easy than to direct a  pigeon or tell a man to run 23 miles to give a message.
    Considering all the negative and the positive things about technology, we learn one thing, that is, technology should work with a person hand to hand, but a person should not let it rule his brain.
    A person with technology, but knows when and how to use it, will always excel. We should remember, "man created computer and computer never created a man".

"Ritual"-- A science or a superstition

                               "RITUAL" it is an ancient Latin word, the word can be a noun as well as an adjective, but what does "RITUAL" actually mean?  The word: "RITUAL", is enough to create a blasphemous fight as well as to define a person's development in a social and cultural aspect.  Rituals are followed everywhere in the world, some are superstitious, some with scientific attitude, some cause destruction, and some are bizarre.  From the birth till the death, rituals are followed everywhere every time to define a person, I agree, 'the existence a ritual is necessary for social and cultural development of an individual.'


                                The Asian clothing, the African music, the American festivals, the European ceremonies, are some of the rituals followed in the world which maintains the unity in diversity.  Consider any international city: Melbourne has Indian, Asian, American restaurants, temples, monumental sites with different attire and different ambiance, each represent their own rituals, traditions and religious believes, this diversity helps to maintain a social balance, also different cultures are displayed.  Football world cup is a ceremony in European and African nations, it is considered as strife between the countries, but it is also a way of displaying the rituals.  The red and yellow Spaniards, the albecelestial Argentinians, the yellow-green Brazilians, the blue Italians display their country color during these celebrations.  Not only waving the flags but also painting their bodies, piercings and displaying the country is a ritual carried out, this is purely to define their cultural.

                                Weekends in America are considered as days of celebrations, on these days the celebrations and ceremonies, the rituals are carried out, even a day of on weekends can be as a ritual and these weekend celebrations have helped USA to develop socially.  Jewish culture promotes the use of white and black clothing, the Muslim culture advises women to wear burkas, these facts are established with scientific reasoning and helps in developing the culture of the society.  Coming up with the age, the birth ceremonies, funerals, house warming ceremonies are globally followed rituals.  These rituals helps in bringing people together and develop a social bond, coalescence of people with different rituals makes the world a socially developed place to stay.

                                Many parts of Africa where the tribes still exist, some bizarre methods are followed--tightening a thick rope on women's waist to make her slim, putting clay plates in a women's jaw to make her lips big, these rituals practiced on African women are believed to make the women attractive--these facts or methods were initiated by early Africans, and they have provided a scientific thesis for these practices.  Abstinence, Nudity, clothing,  mating are the few rituals followed in American society, the people following these rituals believe that a person is born nude in the world and so he should remain the same till death; while some believe that showing the skin is a sin.  Some support the fact that God created two genders for mating, some believe it is a against their religion, however people who follow these rituals believe that such attitude of open mind and body helps an individual for social progress; others consider it as a taboo. 

                                "Variety is the spice of life", this statement may strengthen the topic, but there is always the other side of the coin.  Traditional practices are being carried out on the name of ritual, and with the motive of making money.  These are purely superstitious and may even prove to be fatal in some cases.  In Indian villages, Muslims believe that a new born baby should be tossed of a from a fifteen meters temple wall, they think that this will strengthen the baby and he will live a stronger life, however it is worth mentioning that people standing below catch the baby; but many cases have been reported and the people making money on these superstitious rituals have been arrested.  In the Buddhist temples of Japan, the monks, priests, and a lay people walk barefoot on smoking ember, it is believed that his will help them to overcome their fear.  If we think with a scientific attitude these rituals are not at all necessary, whereas few rituals should be followed to maintain a social balance in the society.

Tello the game changer; CR7 The saviour...

"Keep calm and believe in me." -- This is what he expressed after scoring the winning goal against FC Barcelona. He probably had learned this expression or rather this statement from Manchester United FC, his former club. El Clasico was not only a derby for the players, but also a strife between the clués and madridastas. Though Khedira netted the goal first, Mourinho's side was dabbling. The ex-Liverpool lad -- now quite a mature holding defensive midfielder with a blond stubble and decent hairstyle: Xabi Alonso -- was accompanying Khedira to fort against the Barcelona attack. Messi, the flea, and Iniesta, the game maker, were on full attack. Even Dani Alves, the right back, was upfront trying to cut in Coentrao. Coentrao was excellent in deceiving Dani's play, but the threats continued. Dani Alves, with his furious look,  brownish golden eyes, rustic grown beard and almost bald head, along with the unstoppable stark attacks, could obviously result in a fatal blow to Mourinho's boys anytime. The albiceleste flea, Leo Messi, was a constant threat in the center. On the other hand Cristiano Ronaldo had been trying to attack along with Angel Di Maria, another growing albiceleste and madrid boy with a promising future along with the barcelonean flea. Tello, the young Barcelona lad, was seen warming up. "Madrid on the attack, ball with Ronaldo, cuts in through the defence and.... and the Barca defence intercepts the pass, defender saves the day." -- These things were quite often heard on air. Tello was seen taking off his bib, standing near the touch lines, being instructed by the coach and the manager. Would getting Tello on the pitch cause a fatal blow to the Madristas? Would he cause a lamentable day for the white jersey Spaniards? All these questions started flooding everyone's minds present at Camp Nou. The Clues were hoping for a game changer substitution, or as they're called : 'A SUPER SUB'. While on the other stands, reserved for the outsiders, the away fans started thinking - "Is he a good player?" "Is he a game changer?" "Is he arriving on the pitch for improving the attack or is this some defence tactic?" "Is the Barca manager playing any strategic mind game?"
"Here comes in Tello for Barcelona... he is instructing the players on the field, he is transferring the information to other players, as suggested by his coach..." chanted the commentator, and Christian Tello was already in the game, making his presence felt. The game was full of attacks, defences. Jitters ran amongst the people present at Camp. Suddenly there was some commotion seen in front of the Madrid goal. Iker Casillas was helpless.
"And it is Tello to score"
Some confusion and then a hesitant goal, but the substitution plan worked. The scores were levelled and the Barcelona side was relaxed.
"Ohh did I mention that too soon..."
A perfect early through ball from Di Maria; it was a low  cross and from a very tight angle CR7 doubled the score. "A two goals lead is twice as good as a one goal lead."
Cristiano Ronaldo proved to be the tormentor for Barcelona. Obsession for perfection, what they say, is always true in his case. Ronaldo saved the day.
"Keep calm and believe in me." -- This is what he expressed after the goal.

Is PATRIOTIC REVERENCE an enemy generator ?

As said by Voltaire, "It is lamentable, that to be a great patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of the mankind".  This statement by a french philosopher is subtle enough for any human being to understand the meaning of patriotism.  Patriotism can be elaborated as an undoubted thought in ones mind, thinking that his country is superior to all others because you were born in it.  Patriotism is not only the respect or love towards the nation but it can also be a barbarian fight to proves ones love for the nation.  All these definitions about patriotism and patriotic reverence create a thought in my mind, i agree to the given statement that patriotic reverence for the history of nation often does more to impede than to encourage progress.

        Consider the history of any nation which was ruled by a foreign country earlier; Britishers ruled the Chinese and the Indians, if patriotism among the Chinese and Indians is awaken today, there can be a war without any conclusion, this will certainly hamper the growth and the progress of the nations.  History was meant to happen.  If we keep on thinking about the way our country was being ruled or the way our country ruled, we may get a quarrelous mindset and may also develop a blasphemous thought. There can be fights within the country itself to prove that each indivudials' thoughts are right.  Every history is manipulated at some point of time.  Without having proper knowledge and maturity a warlike behavior is developed mostly among the youth of the nation, because of patriotic reverence.

        The present technological and communication developments are making the world a small place to live.  Patriotic reverence may destroy this peace and harmony and create more enemies.  If an American decides to be a patriotic and boycott usage of foreign items,  this will hinder the growth of American society, there wont be any American participation in the world commerce.  The American trade and economics may be limited, this may impede the progress of nation.  Russia is considered as a medically developed country with good doctors.  If our patriotic reverence keeps us away from a cancer treatment which is only available in Russia, then we are obviously foolish.  Indian is a country to produce domestic products like tea, milk, etc.  These products are exported.  If the patriotism of an Indian citizen stops him from exporting these products, there wont be any Indo-forex trade.  These small trade, financial, economic reasons may spoil the relations among the countries.  Such small disputes can often lead to a big ambiguity, which may further cause cold wars among the countries.

        Patriotism or nationalism are generally love or promotion of ones religious thoughts.  This has to be done by respecting other religious views.  There is no doubt that patriotic reverence also plays a major role in the development of the country, provided that the respect to our country is without the hatred towards other nation.  Since we are born in that country, we have never faced slavery, we are being brought up in an independent nation we should be thankful to our ancestors and forefathers for their struggle for freedom.  Having respect for our mother nation is must, but i am firmly of the opinion that this respect should not create a turmoil and abstain the progress of the nation.

The UnsaFe WOrlD

It was the last drop of water that rolled over Eve's cheek. She stepped out of the bath, hung her moist turkish on the nail protruding out from the paint-scraped wall. Eve's room had a churlish look. Walking three and a half steps, she reached her bathrobe. There were sweet moisture drops on her entire body for she had bathed with steaming water. The cool atmosphere in her room gave a cooling feel to her entire body. The moisture drops and the sweet aroma of Eve's body filled the room. She was in a trembling state, the sultry balmy schweiss on her body had frozen. In no time she grabbed herself a cushion covered chair, made a seat onto it. She held the robe tight on her body, covered her palms under her thighs. Eve had a busy day ahead. A feminine brain always masks itself with an emollient before stepping out. Sensing a tough day, the makeup session lasted for a  while. Eve's room carried a rustic look, but her wardrobe was filled with all shades and patterns. After fifty seven minutes and thirty three seconds, Eve stepped out of her house. The scorching sun and the suspended dusty air made Eve conscious about her makeup. She opened her umbrella and covered her face with a stole. After having walked for few minutes, she felt someone following her. She increased her step rate. Nails firmly digging into the straps of back pack, nose down, her eyes cornered to see every possible view behind - who was following her, what was he having, how was he looking, all the possible whats and whos, hows and whys questioned her mind. The situation was a harbinger to infer what the latter part could be. Eve walked fast to make aloof the situation. She walked all the possible defiles she knew, every narrow lane, but every step she planted discovered a new root for her. Her pace increased, thoughts flooded her mind.  The sweat drops slowly stained the makeup she had applied. Almost a second away from the running step, she felt a hand grab her bag, and then the same hand grabbed her shoulder. The rapacious lizard had caught the beetle. Eve was on the floor. She had a capricious mind then. The scene in front of her eyes turned black; the tobacco was the last thing she could smell from rapid breath of the culprit. It was an incorrigible act. Eve then turned taciturn.

"DON'T TEACH ME WHAT TO WEAR, TEACH YOUR SON NOT TO RAPE"
These slogans, banners are displayed everyday in every corner of the world. Did Eve have an audacious sense of dressing or was the culprit full of temerity? The debate will continue... answers will be placed to become exculpatory...

"Enjoy life responsibly."

Acer Life =Easiest Life

Rustling newspaper,  hypnotic humming ceiling fan, and the crunching of a potato wafer were the only sounds he could hear in the placid library.  He was referring to the Heat Mass Transfer book.  Thermodynamic laws, certain thermal concepts were being continuously noted down by his running hand on the paper.  Keeping his mind aside, with a intention to mug up the derivation,  Kim was totally in a myopic view with the text.  Plasmodium is a malarial parasite he had learned in his high school; plasmodium can also be benign he never knew.  His head was trenching in the book, Kim was trying to relate all the thermal concepts with some  colloquial words.  Hours of reading sends only a drop in your brain; a drop is the only element which remains till the end.  Kim had a strong confidence, his reading if not beneficial, won't be a waste either.  Spending hours in some pacific place, thoughts began running over his mind.  It was now the time to deliver these thermal concepts onto someone elses brain.  It is believed that if you can't explain a thing easily, you haven't understood the thing; to comply with the statement, Kim was searching a dull brain to explain his hours of hard work.  Hard work pays they say, he never knew that his hard work will pay him such an account.  After a few lines of sound advice about the subject to his student-friend, Kim felt he was on the zenith.  He had the habit of convincing people through his words.  He felt that his convincing power and the explanation skills may transform his student-friend into a smart rock.  Kim was completely wrong.  His  dream about teaching, getting his friend at his level was a other way round plan.  Kim's friend usually a nice guy, but when it was about a competition or acquiring spoon fed knowledge his friend was on the apogee.  The only reason behind motivating Kim, learning from him, making him slog in the plethora of books, was to kill Kim's time and get Kim down at his level.  Every person on the ground always sees an ass hole on the pinnacle.  This statement was, is and will always be true.  Kim is still learning, still waiting for the hard work to pay him right.  Hope Kim out smarts his friend soon...Now Kim knows 'friend' if the best dream; can also be the worst nightmare.  He now learns plasmodium can only be benign if you allow it to trouble you, till you build your immune.

Same goes with the life.  If you want to apt a conditioning life, be sure you know the acer part well...
