Thought Crises

Today, I am sitting in front of computer and trying to write something, I started with different things 2-3 times and after writing few lines I cleaned up the stuff and got back to the first line. I rarely have such a thought crises... or at-least manage to get some crap to write for this blog. But this time, its different...

I think I have thought about everything that I possibly could but result is nil... seems like too much of interaction within a day makes you empty from the top floor... and today was one such day!

चेहरा

ज़िन्दगी भी क्या नए रंग दिखाती है,

हर मोड़ पर एक नए चेहरे से मिलाती है,

चेहरे, कुछ जाने पहचाने से, कुछ अनजाने से,

किसी के पास जाने की दिल करता है,

किसी को भूल जाने की कोशिश करता है|

कभी कोई चेहरा अपना सा लगने लगता है,

किसी चेहरे से मिल कर रुक जाने का मन करता है,

इस ज़िन्दगी के सफ़र में कुछ हमसफ़र बन जाते है,

कुछ इस भागदौड़ में खो जाते है,

कुछ खोना कुछ पाना सब एक सा लगने लगता है|

क्या भूलू क्या याद करू, कुछ समज में नहीं आता, 

बस चलता जाता हूँ, आगे बढता जाता हूँ, 

कई चेहरे नयी चीज़े सिखाते है, 

तो कुछ नयी राह सुझाते है, 

सुनता हूँ सब की, पर करता हूँ अपने मनन की, 

क्योकि में भी एक चेहरा हूँ, इस भीड़ में अकेला हूँ|

My own Star Trek...

Yesterday I was watching movie Star Trek (2009), though I am big Star Wars fan, but I must admit that I enjoy Star Trek occasionally, specially this flick when I watched first time in Columbia. I went home and watched most of the series from beginning. One of the interesting thing about both the movie series are their opening and closing monologues. We all know about Star Wars's "Long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... " similarly Star Trek has “Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.” very interesting and full of adventure. 

Today, I thought why not define my own voyage the way Star Trek has done... 

"Space and time are the new frontiers. These are the voyages of a complicated mind, on a mission of learning and understanding each and everything comes in its way. Its mission to explore and develop a brave new world for itself, meet distant civilizations and live a life full of adventure."

Seems like the Sci-fi craze is back! I really need to search my collection back and take out some of the good documentaries, books on space otherwise I will kill a week watching movies again.

The sinner me!

Today, when I was on the random searching mode I thought that lets change my search track from technical, political to something different. Eventually, I decided to search about seven deadly sins and four last things. Although, I know that what are the sins and last things but I wanted to read about them in detail and also about their origins. I must say that lot of websites have very interesting information including beloved Wiki. After reading about them in detail, I tend to believe that I am a big sinner too... May be all sins will not apply to me, but to be fair most of the sins I have committed at some part of my life. The sins are wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. 

The revelation was equally shocking ans surprising, looking at the atmosphere around me it is very clear that these most of these sins are not actually sins anymore they have became part of life and sooner or later all sins will be considered normal. Because believe it or not that is the cost that we are paying with being so called developed and cultured. I don't know which direction we are going in, but what ever that direction is, it doesn't seems the right one. Gone the days when these were sins and considered untouchable, now these sins have got a new name- status! and we all are running behind them. 

Lets define new sins in the modern society, I am very sure that honesty, and other virtues are sins for a person to live in the modern era. Seem like the time is coming to interchange sins and virtues.

New Poem

एक मुसाफिर बन निकला था मैं,

चुनी थी अपनी राहे, 

बढ़ चला था प्रगति पथ पर, 

देखी कई नयी दिशाएं|

चलते हुए जा पहुचा वहां पर,

जहाँ सूरज डूबता था,

लेकिन पाया की वहां पर भी भौत उजाला था, 

खो न जाऊ चका-चोंध में, डर सा लगने लगा, 

लेकिन साथ ही साथ नए सपने देखने लगा| 

फिर सोचा की शायद यही मंजिल है,

और रोक लिए अपने कदम, 

रहा कुछ दिन वहां अकेला, 

लेकिन मन भर गया जल्द ही,

लगा की यह वो मंजिल नहीं जिसकी मुझे तलाश है| 

फिर चल पड़ा रह पर,

फिर मिली मंजिल, खड़ा हूँ मंजिल के सामने, 

लेकिन देखता हूँ की रह ले आयइ है उस ही जगह पर, 

जहाँ से की थी सफ़र की शुरुआत, 

बस रस्ते नए है, रूप नया है| 

The Masters of The Universe...

Since my childhood, I am very interested in space, shuttles, ships, aliens and all those things on great contradiction related to existence of the Universe. This weekend, I was on my way from Vellore to Bangalore, and looking at the diversity of the fields outside of my train and same thought process started again. I am not sure where I started, but soon I was thinking about our existence in the Universe. How can a life form evolve in the dead weight like earth, I have seen the best and worst of this evolution process. If I agree with most of the Scientists that we the cells came from the foreign planet through meteoroids, even then I think that there should be some starting point of inception of life in the Universe. I believe, we have a lot of learn about those details about ourselves. The next thought that strike my mind we about the Universe itself... what is it? How did it came to existence and how it grew so much and so complicated... what is exact size of it and what is beyond it? More I think, more complicate it gates, probably we are designed it that way to ask so many questions to ourselves.

I know, that most likely in this life I will not get answers of most of my questions, but I am a believer and optimistic person... who still looking for answers to these questions. When I was younger, I always believe that thinks are not what they look like, there are people out there who made this game called Universe and they are watching us closely may be for some study... or may be just for fun! I call those people The Masters of The Universe.
