LTSC syndrome

What if there was no concept of time? What if there were no timelines and no deadlines? Would you cease to exist? Or would  only you and you exist in this universe? Would that mean that you wouldn't live? My guess is that many of us wouldn’t be able to comprehend the enormity of the thought that there is no such thing called as time. The clock has become an almost inseparable part of our being, almost as if our legs move of the volition of the two hands on the face of the clock. How many times have you gone to the gym because you felt like it and not because the clock says it 8:00 clock and time to hit the gym? When was the last  time you ate because you felt like it and not because its lunch time? When was the last time you drove anyplace you liked on a weekday? If the answer to the above questions is mostly yes, you have the "Live to See Clock syndrome" aka LTSC Syndrome.
More on how to find a cure for this in my next blog post. :)

Hope & Faith


There was a very nice and popular TV show by the name of Hope and Faith. I loved the show. It had wonderful combination of  humor, wit, grace, wit and philosophy, a few of life's lesson all rolled into one. It set me thinking on the two words that make up the name and essentially the content of the entire show. In the script, Hope and Faith are two sisters that cannot do without each other.
In reality, I likened Hope and Faith to the feelings of hope and faith. They are like twin sisters. They cannot exist without each other. If you have faith, you can hope. Faith is the belief that something "IS". It gives themind strength. But, wait...Hope and Faith have a step sister they rarely acknowledge...Despair. Despair is Hope without Faith. When you hope for something whihc you have no faith in, or your faith is shaekn, it leads to despair. And Despair is not nice.
So, Hope with Faith and Despair stays away...
Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!

A very Happy New Year!! May this year bring in prosperity, peace, health, happiness to one and all.

Ever Wonder...??

I think this post of mine leans a bit towards spirituality, the greater meaning of life, the force of the universe...

From Deepti'sBlog
Today we take for granted the food that we buy, the fields that grow crops, the farmers who farm land. But, have you ever stopped to think how this journey must have begun and how it has progressed? How man progressed from eating raw fruits and vegetables to eating the sophisticated multi-cuisine that we eat today? How he went from depending on nature for his food, to growing it himself and thus ensuring his survival? How did he discover that seeds that are thrown into the ground sprout and turn into a plant?
I find this journey fascinating to visualize. How was electricity discovered? How many times Thomas Edison must have tried and failed and then succeeded in lighting that bulb? How jubilant he must have been when he saw the glow of the bulb? How that simple bulb has gone to the hi-fi technology that we use and take for granted today?

I feel that we as a civilization take so many things for granted without thiking about the efforts that may have gone into making them. As we progress we are becoming more jaded in our outlook towards things. We are losing the sense of wonder and curiosity we are all born with. The ones who nurture this sense are the ones who invent new things, they are the ones who think "why not?","what if".
So, always stop and think for yourself. Dont let someone else do it for you.

Life is...


Life is funny: life is cool,
life is empty, life is sad,
life is lonely, life is bad,
life is color, life is a rainbow,
life is water, life is rain;

life is company, life is friends,
life is money, life has no gains,
life is true, life is good,
life is happy, life is joy,

Life is a song, life is not long
Life is the sun, life is like the moon.
Life is a walk, life is a talk
Life is a cuppa coffee in rain, its a boat rocking in the lake.

Life is a drive in the night, a cruise along the countryside.
Life is to fight, life is to be there with all your might.
Life is forest trail, life is like a monkeys tail.
Life is a gust of wind, life is a gentle breeze.

Life is to live, life is to be free

Words are all I have


Words are all I have...



Many a song has been written about the power of words. What are words? How do you go about defining them? What do they mean? Why does the word Apple mean Apple? How did these associations come about?
As i am writing this down,I am kinda wondering, what is it I am writing about? I am writing in words about words. Confusing right! Words are logical expressions of thoughts.What you think, you express! Now what you think may not always be expressible in words. You have other means as well, liken signs, body language, sounds.
Sounds...the word to think about...Words are sounds that sound like what they do and signify a common meaning to a mass of people. So a sound that is accepted by a population of people to signify something becomes a word.
So, I have achieved my aim: I have expressed in words what words mean :)
