No Turning Back ...

I am a documentary maker.
I joined the National Geographic Society in 2004, when i was in my second year at School.The team was involved in a project named "The Living Edens".
There was always a fasination,a thrill which always made me to think of the science(It's rather generic, be it History,Philosophy,Religion,Astronomy,Automobile science,Entertainment,Oceonography,Egyptology.. whatever stuff out there tries to ignite a spark into me and giving me a wonderful feeling,a Thought...!!)


May be i wanted to become a documentary maker, i could have joined National Geographic Society as a member, possibly i could have lived out my dream of understaning the things out there in a better way, instead i did my school specialization in Computers, and did my engineering specialization for Electricals and joined a reputed Software Firm.

This was not the only thing that cold have happened,i might ahve been a post-man, or manager of a shoe company, possibly an actor or a director or an enterpreneur with Ferrari to transport or a government minister with two Ferrari...

Or,..It is quite possible that i may not have wanted what i have right now in my hand 'OR' it is also possible that i didn't know "How" to do the thing i wanted to become... 'OR' possibly i didn't even knew "What" was the thing i wanted to do at first place...


I just remember Kannadasan's Lines at this point,


"Aasaiye alai pole,
Naamellam athan mele,
Odam pole adiduvome vaazh nalile
Paruvam ennum kaatrrile
parakkum kaathal therile
aanum pennum mahizhvar
suham peruvar - athisayam kaanpaar
Naalai ulahin paathaiyai inre
yaar kaanuvar?"





So to those Ignorant bloggers, who don't know the language Tamil or don't even know that there a language called tamil esists, here is the english version,

"With passions as waves
we dance like the boat over it,
in our passage of life
With the wind of youth,
by flying in the chariot of love,
man and woman make merry, enjoy
and surprise themselves
but who can guess tomorrow's path
today itself?"



One of my all-time favourites, is the one which maybe I heard for the first time on "Oliyum-Oliyum", when I was just six or seven years old. The deep-throated resonating voice of playback singer Tiruchi Loganathan, had fixed this Kannadasan lyric, in my mind forever, i m not sure but i guess it is from the movie "Thai Piranthaal Vazhi PIrakkum"

Even in this lyric, Kannadasan reinforces the theme, "sorrows are credit of life, while the joys are debit, with the balance being mere dreams, and who can comprehend the arithmetic of fate?".


When you look back, there will be things you will regret.

that you made the wrong decision... no you re WRONG..!!!

You made the right decision.

Life is about decisions.Because, whatever decision you make is the only one you can make,otherwise you could make a different one.

Everything we do we chose.

so there is nothing to regret.

You are the person you chose to be..!!

Oscar Wilde said right,
Most people are other people.
Their thoughts are someone else's opinions.
Their lives a mimicry.
Their passions a quotation.

A bad-idea in use is always better than a good-idea lying idle.

And with my point of view, Stealing from somewhere that resonmates with inspiration or fuels your imagination is no wrong, because authenticity is invaluable and originality is non-existent.

And just don't be negative about rejection, the world is what you think of it - so think of it differently and your life will change.



I would like to conclude this post with a BernadShaw Quote

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world.
The unreasonable man adapts the world to himself.
All progress depends on the unreasonable man"


This post is inspired from the book "Whatever you think - Think the opposite" by Paul Arden.




Insanity is undying until the Sanity exists.

Life is a Mirage - Back To Basics.

|| MahaVidhya, MahaMaya, MahaMedha, MahaSmrithi ||

This Simple Sanskrit Quote with 4 words, probably has the complete Encyclopedic-Reference for the 'Purpose Of Life'

Well, I guess most people would not have been able to make out what these words mean... You might know them and understand as you read along...

*-The following thoughts are based on philosophy + Biology + insanity + etc. approach,- so the reader discretion is advised.I am warning you, This might be the most Idiotic,Insane and Boring Post,You ve ever come across



The Core Of Knowledge 'MahaVidhya':

This is the primary element in Species existence. Knowledge,Understanding,Realisaton,all these can be related to Human-Senses.
"Man is a Social Animal" - as the saying goes.So,Animals (Here Animal includes MAN)

Why do they need to See: for possible way to survive,to spot food - for understanding the possible danger - to gain Knowledge by Sight.

Why do they need to Hear: for a better communication between them - understanding what the fellow species is trying to express - to gain Knowledge by Sound.

Why do they need to Feel: for differentiating the Heat and Cold - Understanding the perfect habitat suitable for their survival - to gain Knowledge by Touch.

Why do they need to Smell: for appretiating fragnance rather than a foul - Understanding the need to please themselves - to gain Knowledge by Scent.

Why do they need to Taste: for distinguishing the sweet from sour - Understanding the palatable diet - to gain Knowledge through oral means.

... Well, all the Senses finally point to a single word "KOWLEDGE" - What exactly is knowledge - I ll try defining - The Elemental tool for Survival.

When and Where did this 'knowledge' came into existence -Don't say to me 'After Eve and Adam ate the Fruit of Knowledge '...

I ll help answering - Knowledge springs from the deepest instincts for survival.Only by Having food to generate Energy(Energy..?? - if i start speaking on Energy here - It will just make an infinite path...forget it),Species re supposed to be alive.And,How do the species know Which is their food and which is not.Which will fill your stomach and which will kill you. Knowledge helps you here.






The Illusion 'MahaMaya':

This is the Primarily a 'Distiction Factor' and the second element as a purpose of being alive - other than food - Like,Fun,Music,Sport,and Trying to Conquer Death(Well,here it doesn't mean some kinda Black-Magic or some 'Elixir'... it Simply means Leaving yourself here Alive ,Even after Death... Got it..?? - Hey c'mon people,don't act ignorant i'm speaking of Reproduction )

*Now consider a story, the situation is like this, the Species (we were speaking about previously) have gained enough knowledge for survival,the problem of feeding their stomach has been solved.So the Species move to a relaxed-habitat (possibly a tree-shade) and take rest(to preserve 'Energy' for their next survival stint).Now consider there are two forms of Species '+' and 'o'.

The '+' was resting under the tree.
The 'o' after having its part of Energy intake comes and rests under the same tree.

A little time later '+' and 'o' wake up to find each-other under the tree.Now they have enough energy to have Fun(Don't stare at me like that..)[Ok Ok,the part that was supposed to follow has been Censored.]

The case was dealt with only two existing species,If there were a lot of '+' and few 'o',then the competition comes up - each try to display its skill - in sport,Music,or wear-plumage,gift or fight amomg each other to death(Now see,This was the Beginning of Hero/Villain Concept...Poor Villain loses out always) so that it amuses and attracts the opposite.

Now they(the winner '+' and 'o') have an illusion of conquering death - A feeling of Living for-ever, by generating a new species of their own kind ,with their own living-prototype(Species Cell) contributed from either side.(Now i understand, what the word 'Partner' means..)



- The point here is the Species could have survived by the knowledge to get Food and nothing more was needed - But this Knowledge gave a little more insight/truth into them - You will Die -Die of retarded Energy to Find food(Old-Age) or -Die, by getting Killed as 'Source of Energy' for Another Species.
So try make yourself immortal - Leave Yourself behind with a carbon-copy.



#The Concept ends here for Normal-Animals, So the Monkeys,Donkeys and Posssible Aliens out there,stop reading this and get back to Work,..- Social Animals can continue reading this Crap-for further time-killing#


The Intellect 'MahaMedha':

*Now the Situation moves to a different level an energy-retarted '+/o' who have produced enough carbon-copies,now decide to Stop having Fun and Search their purpose here-after - This is where the Ultimate Triggers are generated - Science,Religion,Innovation,everything comes up and they find themselves engulfed with Ulimate Fantasies of Discovering "The Ultimate Knowledge".



They Convert these Knowledge/Thoughts - to instill fear in their carbon-copies to take care of themselves when they grow Old '+ and o' in the Name of "GOD".

(Please forgive me if i am hurting the sentiments of parent-child relationships, the post was meant to be an abstract insight my insanities..!!)

And So,Religion Came into existence.So the Caring Carbon-copies with fear of God Roasting them in Hell-had to take care of their previous Originals.

Here the Original +/o acts as Intellect - Trying to get Enlightened - Discover the Unknown and help their carbon-copies to survive better , have fun-better.






The Memory 'MahaSmrithi':

*Now the Original Species have a lot of carbon-copies and their energy has being emptied out and the last drop of energy has been used up and the species ceased surviving.

Now the only thing that remains immortal is their Carbon-copies, who in turn will give more carbon-copies ,thus making the Original Species Survive as Immortal - Until all the carboncopies cease existing.



The "Memory" - Keeping/Storing in their built-in memory devices (some call it brains..!!) - what their original intellects have teached them and thereby using them for their survival.

There Might be No Logical Conclusion for this post - And i belive this would be the Worst-Post in entire Galaxy - Even the Aliens Would tear their antennas,scream and run,after reading such a crap...

..The Insane... Always has a lot to Think... This Will Continue... Now i m just in search of Knowledge, Will be looking out for 'Maya' Soon.. :)



*** To be NOTED ***
One Important Thing to notice,Why did the Learned Scholars try Keeping Women Names for Such Terms -Vidhya-Maya-Medha-Smrithi-... The Life's Mystery has just got deeper.



^^Two things Came into Notice - For any species there are just two Basic Requirements - Food (Source of Energy) and a Partner(Carbon-copies)^^

-- So Back to Basics..uh???
