Mystery Spot

I find happiness in the slightest of things..and if needed..I will manipulate situations to make myself and others happy. The attached pic is one such example which I feel happy about. Mystery spot is a tourist spot ;-) near santa cruz, california. Its supposed to have some mystery in it..something like illusion or I would say confusion bcoz of the 'frame of reference'. But they boast its a mystery :D

As the scheduled time on our ticket was 5 Pm we need to wait some more time..and then I thot why not create mystery ourselves..and as u can see in the pic...I am standing straight outside the main entrance but photo shows I am tilted whereas the entrance is straight...Make it out for yourself :-)

Sunday Morning

I woke up even before the Sun today...and as the light slowly filled the world around me...I enjoyed the ginger-tea. I like tea..I love it more if there's a flavour of ginger. Well did you know...why sunday is named so ? Coz its the day of the Sun and monday - the day of the moon. Check the other days for yourself. Where did the names originate from...and those in hindi....somvaar is named after deity "Soma" who is associated with the moon. Friday is named after Venus...same as 'Shukra' in Shukravaar. Friday stands for purity, brightness..bla bla bla :-)

And how Solomon Grundy helped us remember the days of the week without knowing what these were named after. Philosophically, the poem depicts the 7 ages of our life. Its amazing though how poems make our brains grasp things more easily. I still use the '30 days are september; april, june and november' and we all know bout february. Hey...did u ever know where these names of the month came from :D

More astonishing fact is that 'July' is named after Julius Caesar bcoz he was born in July. If I were born during his age and did something worth....you would have a month as Kartik ;-) My birthday is also in July. In Hindu calendar...Kartik is a month though I was not named after the month..instead my name is based on Lord Shiva's son.

Catch you later...need to have something for breakfast..feeling hungry :-(

Festive Season and Fever

Durga Pujo, Dushera...and Diwali are all neighbours in the Calendar...and what a gala time indians have. I would consider myself forunate to have witnessed Durga Puja in Kolkata..the city of joy. Donno why..but I feel so attached to Kolkata..the place..the environment. The crowd..sealdah station...share auto from kankurgachi to girish park..the metro..44 from phoolbagan to howrah...3B from K'gachi to taratala..egg roll. what has engulfed me is may be the earthly nature of things there..from the auto to human beings...Nothing seems to man-made..even the human beings follow their fate.. :-) To sit beside the auto-pilot is an "altogethaar" a "diffaarent experiaance"...kind of "maraaatokk ". And I really miss these words in quotes.

I started with festive season..but once I am into the word kolkata..I get lost and I am sure most of the kolkata-bashi would do so. The concept is of Victory over Evil. And then the crakers season would start with diwali with an "altogethaar" different concept of Ram returning to Ayodhya. And this is indeed India..my dear. May be you can compare it to the thanksgiving-christmas-NewYear enthu of US. Amidst all these festive fever...I am actually suffering from fever....may be a viral one..due to the cold and climate change. I dream of the ongoing fun in India and wish to be there asap. With the health not with me...its more tempting to get the feeling of going home. I am taking the best of care of myself..even though the last 3-4 weeks have not been in my favour..had cut my fingers twice..got burnt ...fever... :-(

Enjoy your festive holidays and may the almighty bless everyone.

I Miss Myself

Going through bad patches in life is like a dark tunnel and we all are optimistic that there will be light at the end of it. And we search for the shortest path..the fastest way to reach there..solve all problems. People tend to lose patience if they get late to reach the "light". But actually when they reach the light, they are in a different tunnel and they move ahead in search of brighter light.

I am one of these. Incourse of searching the light, I forget myself...my own hobbies..things which I like to do. In deep thought now.. I realize how much I miss myself.

People become "CHID-CHID" (Irritative) when they dont get what they wanted..instead of thinking whether they took the right path to search the light. Maybe I interpret things wrongly..."Chid-Chid" is their first reaction and later they go into their own shell to think what went wrong.

I am in one of those moments where I dont like anything..I dont want to talk to anybody..I want to be with myself..alone and brood over what I could have done correctly. Writing these philosophical (Stupid) stuffs in a blog.....what do I want to convey?

"Whatever I write in my blog..is my failure to communicate" and so I put these in words and assume the whole world reads it ;-)
