Bongs are like mercury

Well when I told this one line to most people I dint actually say anything more so well I don’t think I need to say too much more here either all I need to say is:

two drops of mercury when in close proximity stay together

mercury has high cohesive forces.

The question to life the universe and everything

Well most of us know and well those of us who don’t better know that the answer to the life the universe and everything is well, 42. For those intelligent souls that wish to ask 42?? What 42??? Well that is what the answer to the life the universe and everything is which is what the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy tells us, that there is a theory about the universe that says that the only reason the universe still exists is because it is not completely understood, the moment the universe is completely understood poof it’ll be no more. Well if u actually come to think of it isn’t it the same thing with every other thing as well. As in, is it’s always the question that is the problem it is only because of questions that we exist if there were no questions then there would be no existence, now for example, we already have the answer to the life the universe and everything, its 42 everyone knows that, but what is the question to the life the universe and everything, to which the answer is 42? Similarly the curiosity the matter of interest remains only until we don’t understand, once we actually do understand something we tend to loose it, it doesn’t matter anymore, it in effect gets lost, poof.

Now taking the theory literally we would stop trying to find out about the universe because then it’d run out of existence but well its more like run out of attention, out of interest, out of sight and out of mind.

So now the question is this, what should we do? Do we stop looking for answers to questions? NO!!! the answer this time is literally a question, we are not to stop looking for answers we are to never stop looking for questions, because once the questions stop coming that is where the end lies.

Overtaking Insanity

At times you sit and wonder in vain

And on the verge of going insane

A thought comes behind you and says hi

Another question another why

The answer to this now you look

This completely drives you off the hook

So instead of sitting now you stand

And ask yourself why you are on land

So as a reply you see the option off the sea

And get confused between the sea and the see

And then think of how u can be on an action word

And why are all your thoughts so absurd

And tired of it all you sit down again

And get back to wondering how you formed this chain

Still sitting and wondering in the same old vain

only now you’re sure you are completely insane

Peacefully violent

Again i was in one of my insane moods and this poem swam into my head so i just inked it...

Peacefully violent

One fine morning in the middle of the night

Two dead boys got up to fight

Back to back they faced each other

The drew out their swords and shot each other

The swish of guns the bangs of swords

Silenced the dead the woke up the boards

As the fight ensued in peace they lay

Rolling in their graves the fought all day

The sun was sleeping the world awoke

Killing each other laughing at the joke

On this fine morning in the middle of the night

When two dead boys got up to fight

A deaf police man nearby woke up with the noise

And came to rescue the two dead boys

Times

Had Thought wrote poem,

Times

There are times u will always cherish

There are times when u will see

There are times u'l look back at and smile

There are times u'l remember me

There are times when the earth shall shatter

There are times when the sky will fall

There are times when its all going fine

There are times u'l feel 6 feet tall

There are times when there is no tomorrow

There are times when there was no past

There are times that define history

There are times meant to last

There are times that pass at breakneck speeds

There are times that take your breath away

There are times that test your every nerve

There are times that you just call it a day

There are times that fly by

There are times that do not crawl

There are times when we so really wish it,

but its only time that you can never stall.

Start Over

Well just another one of my random poems I call this one

Start Over

Another year has just began
a new day a new sun
A new goal a Fresh Start
Another play a new part
More people to come by
A new sky for me to fly
Amidst the future and the past
i see the present moving fast
the time has come the time is here
no time for sorrow not a place for tear
now feeling inspired to the core
with the eagles i shall soar

Today, Yesterday and and Tomorrow

Hi this is not the regular blah blah post, this is going to be a lil different this time i am not going to blabber about something what i am going to do is place an idea before you, just a small little thought and i want you to tell me what you think about it, here it is.


"imagine you wake up tomorrow and find that its yesterday"

The Past, the future and the package of life

Long time back I read this nice thin book by Robert Bach called ‘illusions’ it was about how a man becomes a messiah. One thing this book talks about was reiterated very recently when I was chatting with this highly spiritual relative of mine. It says a good or bad experience is not one that is positive or negative, but its more to do with what the learning from that experience is. If there is learning then it’s a good experience and if there is no learning then it’s a bad experience as simple as that.

Now also there is another saying that everyone’s life has the same net amount of everything, all the essentials of life, happiness, sorrow, tears, laughter everything.

Now looking at the two theories together it all makes sense and it actually hit me like obviously that what it is.

See its like this, now there are two types of learning, a conscious and a sub conscious learning, often life takes us through such things wherein we don’t consciously learn anything but subconsciously in effect we do learn things. Like for example, if today I am cooking in the kitchen, and by mistake I burn my tongue while tasting the dish, the next time I will automatically cool the stuff in a spoon before putting it in my mouth, now I don’t need to consciously think that ‘oh… last time I was in the kitchen I burnt my tongue because there was something hot that I put in my mouth and so this time I should cool it else I’ll have the same effect this time as well…’ that way.

Now another observation and more or less accepted theory is that one learns from ones mistakes and you won’t raise till you fall etc… so clubbing it with the theory that every one get equal of every thing.

So now it all becomes very simple and obvious, if u have bad times in the early part of your life, you will learn from it and be better equipped to face the future, so u cry first and are happy later, on the other hand, if u have a very smooth beginning, you are not well equipped and hence will face trouble later and hence the tears will come later, all equal after all.

Now this is obviously not something that will be true to the book but largely will follow and will obviously be dependent on the kind of person and the capacity each individual has.

laugh and you laugh alone

This is a very common saying that laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone. i found this statement used in a friends blog(http://poignantrose.blogspot.com/2007/05/exchange-offer-p.html) and either contextually or even otherwise I'd like to differ on.
i would like to humbly submit that the statement 'you laugh and the world laughs with you' is not true and i will provide multiple explanations for the same.

First: when ur happy and laughing u don't see the people who are crying and think that the whole world is sharing ur joy.

and lastly: often people only seem to be happy when you are and that why you think so. in fact the other person may well be quite sad and the fact that you are happy may only trouble the person evermore.


furthermore, when you cry, anyone and every one whose lives you touch to a certain deep extent will be hurt and will in effect be in tears.

so the net number of people who will support you whether ur happy or sad is the same and more often that not it is the same people also.

so ending this post here keeping it short, i think what is important is that you should have people to share things with be it happiness or sadness for that matter and that is what is most important, everyone needs a ear.

Life is a Game

Life is a game, the game of the ‘AMAZING RACE’, which is a show on AXN, Action TV. Now let me explain how this game works before I go on to explain the proposition of it being correlated with life itself. Now what happens in this race is the teams have a common destination a common goal, but all along the way they have choices to make, paths to choose every path will take them to the final destination, some may be more pleasurable others may not. It’s all a matter of making the right choice and doing the right thing. People enjoy this race, each one reaches the end, there is no choice about that, but some reach there faster than others, some have more fun, others may have to toil, again as everything this definition of fun is also relative and different for different people so lets not have any debates about that.

Now relating this entire thing with life, what is a life? It’s a journey, the amazing race. It has a common start and a common end, but different people find themselves in different situations and take different decisions following different paths all along the way. Some people may go forward with a positive frame of mind and enjoy life to the fullest while on the other hand there will be people who will crib there lives away finding difficulties in solutions and sadness in a bucket of joy.

Future

When it comes to pol sci and staying awake in class the two things don't quite gel together with me. So i needed a good method of staying awake, for some time taking notes helped but not for long, i needed something more interesting and something that could keep me busy, which is when i wrote this, very bored of the pol sci that was being taught, although i don't have pol sci anymore, the poem is still there. The reason i call it Future is because i could not think of anything else...

FUTURE

FUTURE


Is today the day that I live to see?
What can I expect how will it be?
The mystery exists but is not here
Is seems so but it isn't clear
Every morning is a fresh new day
What will happen what can I say?
There is so much that's going on
Wonder what story will be born?
If there is anyone who can tell me so
Tell me where I am going to go
The only certainty of the hour
That certainty is very far
So forgetting predictability for once and for all
Just enjoy each day and have a ball.

If Imagine

I wrote this poem down a while ago when I was just sitting and waiting for the physics class to start when this just hit me like bricks don't, this dint hurt, one of my most abstract poems, don't look for a deeper meaning ;-)

If imagine

If today was tomorrow,

Then would it be the same

It's a weird thought,

I know it's insane

But for the sake of,

Speculation at large

Would the day still be new,

Or be a mirage

How likely is it for,

The world to be an image

And each journey is part,

Of a greater pilgrimage

How likely is it for,

It all, to be a farce

Everything, emotions, love,

Even the green green grass

What if there is nothing ,

That's supposed to be

What is this place out

Here that my eyes can see

What if I am supposed,

To be someone else,

And my soul in,

Someone dwells

What if there was,

A divine mistake?

Is there a correction

A simple retake?

Murphys Law of Good Weather

There are clouds in the sky
and wind in the leaves
there is a fragrance of flowers
and a sweet hum of bees
The birds are singing
a sweet note to me
at the horizon a setting sun
i can see
Lovers are lovingly
teasing each other
the world is at peace like tonight is the last
there isn't another
And among this i sit and think
and in chemical bonds try to find a link
this is the irony of life my friend
with beautiful weather work, it'll send.

One life time is too short to be thinking about it

First doing the ground work, when is it good to sit and analyze something, in my opinion one should do that only when one can do something about what one did. As in if you have a 2nd chance. Like if i am a football player, and this is not my last game i want to sit and think about the game the game i played, the game the people around me played so on and so forth, if i have a good or bad experience, i want to sit and think about it, why, well if its good just to enjoy it allover again and if its bad to ensure that such a situation does not arise again. Now on the other hand if i was a fish, would i be thinking about how cold the water is? The fish is never going to come out of the water (alive). Similarly I dont understand why people think so much about life, no one , absolutely no one i have ever known or heard of has gotten away alive, such is life, so instead of living it why think about it. Thanks, sukrit for inducing the thot.

so now on, live life, dont think about it, but do think about the events and things that make it worth living.

i think thats all for today chow ;-)

Chemical Fundae

In a world of chemicals
and phenomenon such
there is so much to learn
to read there is so much
there are chemicals that
call themselves funny names
and we are forced to learn about
their stupid games
one attacks another
from in front or behind
the various relations,
bonds of many a kind
here each carbon can bond
with not 1 but 4
and lucky sulphor
gets to have a couple more
this is a weird, insane
highly polygamous era
I'd rather laisez faire
and say kay sera sera

Intel inside

In your head, it is hereby established that every head has an intel/AMD inside. The brain is very much like a processor it basically manages all the thinking that a man(including woman[1]). Now that is nothing surprising a pretty common analogy, so what am i trying to say here? well apart from all the thinking that a brain does and all the understanding and retrieving of data it does, i call it an intel because a brain also has the side effects of a processor. it gets over heated, and shuts down, and then when you cool it down slowly it regains the ability to compute and comprehend situations. So the next time you feel like windows hanging mid work, just go and put ur head in cool water, and don't worry about catching a chill, i have tried it with the heat sink of my comp, i once put it in the freezer when it overheat so u can safely put the heads heat sink in water, well here i am talking about hair.

The theory of INSANITY

This should have been my first post, hovering over insanity...

I call this the insanity theory, it was developed over an SMS conversation with a friend, during which i proved that she was insane.

The theory is like this, everything can be insane and nothing is insane, we call what we don't understand as insane. Now the first argument that will be thrown at me is that a doctor in a mental hospital understands the patient but the doctor is not insane. Well there is a difference that i would like to show that being, a doctor does not understand an insane patient he only cures him, he uses, shocks, medicines etc... but does not understand the patient in fact what the doctor does is in effect makes the patient understand him, now if a person tries to understand an insane person, and is successful in doing so that person will buy the insane persons thoughts and ideas and will act accordingly, so in effect in respect to his yesterday, his today will be insane, so at the end of the day if i end up calling my self insane then what is insane? A persons yesterday will call a persons today insane and vice versa, so insanity is relative like everything else, insanity is not absolute there is nothing that defines a person to be insane, i will substantiate this with an example that is very close to my heart. GOOGLE, when a person walks into the Google Head Office one would find scooters and lava lamps, the company was once termed as insane for employing such things, soon Google came out with their Public issue, it was priced at around 400$ the company today its share price is roughly 505$ and the companies turn over for the last three months is around 802 bn$ the bottom line is that they are making a hell of a lot of money, now look at the change, the same lava lamps and scooters are now called things that inspire innovation, not insane.

So if i don't understand you I can think you are insane and if you don't understand me you are free to call me the same. Now a question is that, why do i refer to my self as insane, well the answer is quite simple, because i want to believe that i don't understand myself and so at times i don't, apart from the fact that it gives you a good excuse to do all sorts of stupidity. So well now that i have established that i am insane, i can use the defense of insanity (84 IPC) and do anything i want to;-).

Newton's 1st law of emotion

The title is not a typo. Newton's 1st law of motion states that,

"An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."

Similarly newtons 1st law of emothin states that

"a person who is happy tends to stay happy and a person who is sad tends to stay sad unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."

Now as such this is more or less self explinatory, but well this is only slightly more complicated than physics.

Assuming the law is true, and a persons emotions change, according to the law, there has to be a stimulant. Without a stimulant there will be no change, so if a person seems slighly off, and you ask them what's the matter. The most common and obvious answer will be 'nothin', and you know the person is definately lying.

Another tricky situation is when a person is behaving in an odd manner, and you may be one of the reasons but your actions are not strong enough, then its time to realixe that there at otehr forces at work and no matter what you do unless and untill the other force is balanced none of your actions will prove to be fruitfull.

Thats all folks.

The non-quantized circles

This is known as the non quantized circle theory. Its like this, as the figure shows a large number of concentric circles, theses circles in the figure are quantized but well imagine that they are not, they are non quantized and a circle can be anywhere at any distance from the center. Now imagine that a person is standing at the center, right where that tiny little black dot is, and everyone you know, meet or even see gets plotted somewhere on the this plane of the circles. There are two aspects of the plotting, one is obviously the magnitude, and the other is the angle. The magnitude is more or less self explanatory, the more some one knows you the closer that person will be plotted. The capacity in which a person knows another is what defines the angle, one person may be plotted on one side of the circle and another may be plotted on the diametrically opposite side of the same circle, which would mean that two people are equally close to the person in question but in different capacities. Now man is like pen, with a cap. Now if one person sees the person in the center as a round sided pen the other may see the small little thing that is there on the pen to hold the pen in ones pocket. So its the same person but two different people will see two very different things of that same person. Now you cant say that the person is ever changing unless and until he turns and shows people on one side the other side. OK. So all this is very fine, but whats the use, see now the whole trouble arises that people get plotted but are not static. They can move, but yes there are limitations that can be placed on the movements on these people, but when people are closer to the circle when they move they can very easily see things that they might not have been able to see before, some people, very few as far as i believe, are like pens without their caps, they are uniform, no matter which side you see them from they will be the same. Most people have differences in their sides, so when a person who matters sees something that one has not seen before there are two options in front of the person.
a) accept the presence of the other side and either defend it or try some thing along those lines.

b) the other option is, go to the market and but another cap, and put it on in such a way that only the moving person sees what he wants to, and no one sees any change.
I understand that this is getting very long, but well this is some thing like a conclusion;

It is often easier to take path (b) and (a) might seem like a path with a lot of explanation, but i am saying this out of personal experience that (a) is the better the safer path. Another thing that is very nice to have is some one who is plotted on an oscillatory circle just outside the dot, like i have my dog, who is running around on that path, sees everything there is to see.

Life isn't fair, if it were it'd be boring

Every now and then we complain that life is not fair, but if actually sit and think about it, well if life were fair, would it be worth living? I think not. If life were fair, every individual would be bestowed with the same qualities, the same features and the same potential, then well we would not be individuals anymore, men would be like bots. There would be no individuality and life would be sooo boring. As it is well known that change is the spice of life, if life was fair to you it would be fair to your neighbour as well and well then your neighbour would not be your neighbour but he would be you, and that is not only boring can even get very scary. So be glad that life is not fair and enjoy the variations of it cause if they are not there life wont be life at all.
