Complexities of Mind

Life offers surprises everyday and the list of events that either trouble you or delight are innumerable. Over the last few days I amount of events I have been exposed or rather I should say 'My psyche' has been exposed stand a testimony to the utmost and unrealistic complexities of human life. All i have been trying to capture over the last few days are really beyond comprehension to my mind. I tend to see even the monotonous activities in life with a implied or figurative meaning underlying. I have been exposed to several theories trying to explore several complexities of the mind. I use the word complexities of mind because when we say we are not able to understand some theories it is not that they are tough or not understandable. But, only the orientation of the mind or senses that determine the potential to simplify things and absorb them in a consumable fashion.

The important fact here is to tune the mind and not blame your potential to understand. Mind is the master of everything in life next only to the supernatural. For example, trying to analyze exams - what are exams? Certain standards required to be met by the process of institutionalization of education. But, in a symbolic sense what does an exam connote? Vertical and horizontal advancement of the mind to process more than what it used to do before. (May agree or may not :P). In a metaphysical sense, its used to combat the spirit of evil from defeating you which is what we call a Pass or Good marks in exams. Failure is considered to be yielding to the evil spirits in the battle. Exam is a very simple example.

However, there are more complex and complicated day to day realities of life. Lets take the concept of relative deprivation. In simple sense, it refers to the deprivation faced by an individual when he/she uses some social group as the reference. So what does it signify? What makes an individual think that he/she is deprived? is it because of the social construct of what is happiness or what one ought to enjoy? Probably, the deprived individual thinks that he has fallen short of what the social group is enjoying otherwise. Does this symbolically signify that the person is being pulled down by the anti-forces of internal harmony that ensures the alignment of mind and soul in a person.

First to deal all this in detail, there needs a very careful analysis of certain definitions. Mind? soul? what are all these? . This list is definitely unending. These are abstract realities and the definition of these terms lie on the individual who is trying or attempting to define these. The scales of measurement is primarily developed or designed by the individual in the context of personal and social milieu. While, I strongly think that these are left to the scope of individual comprehension and a external force to decode things would only be futile. However, there lies a social responsibility in every individual to contribute to the areas of lack of clarity.

Rest to be continued.

Bday Wish :)

Dear Kavya,

A birthday is definitely a very special day in many ways than one. This special day gives u a moment to reflect on the journey you had till date and also think of the journey that your life is embarked towards future. As a wise saying goes, "A bday does not remind u that one event full year has passed that makes u one yr old, but you grow stronger and more mature". The more you grow older, u become more stronger. Sorry for this gyan, as any bday wish shud have some gyan u c.. call it stereotypes :P

U have a lot of people to thank this day. First, the chief architect of life on this earth - The almighty, second the worldly architect - parents and this list goes on. But, I have a reason too, Thank u for being a wonderful friend. I might not have spent a great deal of time but I strongly believe that you are a very valuable person to bank on. A fren in time of need to share the tough times. There have been not many occasions that I sought ur help or u sought mine but there needs no occasions to show the genuineness of the healthy frenship that binds us. I dont believe in practical happenings that is being mandated by the society to call two ppl as frens. I rather believe in the invisible mutual respect that binds two people. Also, I strongly believe that you can definitely make a difference positively in the life of others. :) u can pat urself for this.

There have been similarity between us in some issues. like the belief in "Long wait" :P, blogging, etc. Its not the commonalities that nurtures the frenship between us, but even the differences( not able to come up with any, too early for that) will help to strengthen frenship.

I am sure you are here to win the best
Make a difference in lives
Live life to the fullest
Be joyful and be a joy to many
celebrate relationships to its fullest glory
Never say die in life to problems
Embrace success in all quarters of life
live a life of perseverance
Lead a life of meaning
Life of respect for genuine values
A true friend who is ready to do the expected and also not the expected.

Wishing you all the success in all ur future endeavors on this wonderful day. :)

Luv, wishes and prayers
Joe.

Inside the Heart and Mind of Christo :) Contd

Last entry introduced all the characters who play/played a crucial role in the life of Christo. Christo has been the most unlucky guy the planet earth would have ever seen. Above all, he is a dreamer and nothing can stop him from dreaming. Is dreaming an excuse to gratify the unfulfilled needs? Probably many might so YES. for that matter, even Freud classifies dreams under a category called 'dream of wish fulfillment'

But Christo is a dreamer of an altogether different category. Rather, you cannot try and classify him under any broad topic. He is a very passionate follower of his dreams. He likes dreams and he likes turning the dream into reality more than mere dreaming. Christo likes writing, for he wants to become one of the most renowned writers of the age. He likes writing only very deep and contemplative literature. Mostly, inspired by his personal life and experiences.

Christo lives a life of a King. Christo is a very spiritual person who is a very strong believer in his GOD and the social institution of religion. He sees life and its meaning as a plan of GOD. Most of the debates of his mind are a dialogue he engages himself with GOD. He writes several things as a letter to GOD.

There are a very few things that Christo holds very dear to his heart. Christo loves kids and sees a new meaning of life in kids. He likes to have kids and grow them up. He wants to redefine love and its attributes. Christo considers his family a great blessing and wants to constantly love his family. Christo admires and respects women. Women are the most respected human beings by Christo. He hates any cheap or derogatory remarks against women.

He strongly believes that Women are the most modern marvel of Gods creation and life is meaningless if you dont respect and love women.

Heart and Mind of Christo :) :( - Introductory part.

Most of the problems in human kind arises when there is a mismatch between heart and mind. In several occasions heart says something, but the mind thinks something else and hence there is absolute chaos. So, how to ensure that heart and mind are in sync with each other? That is zillion dollar question that we are trying to decode to find a solution.

I have been battling with this problem for ages and that is one of the main reason to name by blog battlefield of mind. But, this entry is very different as I am not gonna rant about myself but a character whom I know for a long time and his name is Christo.

Here goes the tale of Christo. Christo is a very normal and down to earth, slightly above average IQ guy. The plot is about the time of his earthly genesis till this moment.

Christo is the most innocent guy for his age group and he has never ever been given an opportunity to express his sincere emotions or express himself. His society has always imposed several things just to satiate the whims and fancies of the society's wants. Christo is seldom given an opportunity to voice out what he thinks.

His parents are the best that can ever ask for. Unfortunately, nature has decided to start its game play in Christo's life at a very early stage as he had to lose his mother at the age of 2 due to a bike accident. Imagine life for christo from the age of 2 without a mother.

Christo has had a pathetic existence in life though he had everything financially he wanted. But, metaphysically Christo lacked everything. Everything that could bring an innocent smile on a Child's face. A crying baby is filled with Joy wen the mother feeds him. But, for Christo, everything in life is only hear say or visual of something as he really cannot feel or experience anything.

Christo always deeply believed that he is not able to come to terms with the loss of his mother and he really wants to have a BIG FIGHT with god if and when the chance comes up. His family and extended family have showered too much love on this child, that they even ignore the fact about the loss of mother and they think that they can substitute.

Christo cannot even cry on his mother's anniversary as the social circle around him does not encourage him to. Christo has to behave as they everything is normal in his life while nothing goes on normally.

Christo holds a few things very close to heart. First, undoubtedly, his mother Mary who means everything in life to him though she is not a part of this life physically.

I am discussing only about his earthy priorities.(Family descriptions omitted)

Second, the subject he loves the most namely People Operations management. He can live and die for the love of this subject. This subject has skillfully got the best out of him and the only subject that keeps him going in academics. He can yap about this subject for ages without food or water or any basic amenity.

Third, one person named DASH. This person DASH is a she and she has phenomenal amount of influence in Christo's life. Dash has been the person who keeps Chris going and she has always been there whenever he needed for a long time but not now. Christo is devasted and heart broken due to this. I have to write one separate entry about DASH alone as its the biggest episode of this life but also the most short lived subject of his life. But the pain Christo, undergoes even now is beyond human measure and only Christo can relate to it.

Fourth, one person named A a. A a has not played any significant role in his life till date. But, he is so eager to welcome her in his life and he has great plans to make their life very meaningful, if that's the will of GOD.

Fifth, FRIENDS who cannot be summarized by any phrase or small description.

Random Thoughts

My apologies for not penning an entry for quiet sometime. Lots of reasons to rejoice and ofcourse more no of reasons to cause a frown in my face. First, one year of MBA is over. Terrible phase of inaction is what i would like to use to summarize MBA. One tough year is over. One more to go.

Bangalore has never been so interesting like the last three months. Lots of activities in Bangalore and lots of new meaningful friends/relationships. I am thankful to God for that. At last, am extremely thankful to God for showing me the first Catholic life group/prayer group, in which, I can proudly engage myself to strengthen my relationship with GOD.

I am really, pumped up with the energy provided by friends who appreciate my writing. Though, they constantly keep me going, they also ensure that i should take my writing standards to the next level. I am planning to write a literary work named "Conversations".

To think of some of the set backs or rather a lot of set backs, it starts with this. My battle to get a good internship did not meet with a instant success as I am fond of Instant success in everything. Rather, nature and God always ensure that I am made to be anxious crazily before something could actually could show its face.

So, the internship Saga has kindah come to an end. Other issues, are remaining at a status quo.

Women's day - My Reason for being ---- A woman(My mother n others)

They say "If you are able to read this, thank your teacher". With all due respect for the quote, I would like to say here, "If you are able to read this, first thank your mom" for she was the one who gave you life in the first place. Yes :) And your mother is a woman. I always have this notion of not celebrating Women's day only on March 8. Everyday day is a day to respect women and celebrate her cause for the nature and the society that you and I live in.

A woman is an embodiment of love, affection and above all Sacrifice to the whole humanity. A woman is a specialist in Discerned Love. The reason for my being is a woman, the reason to keep me going is a woman and the reason for everything in every one's life is a woman. Its a pride to be a woman who can make a huge difference in everyone's life. Its equally a pride to respect womenhood otherwise we are failing in our fundamentals of human lives.

The role that a woman plays in this world is beyond numerical measurement. The roles that we figure are just an indicator of her contribution to the whole world. She is the chief change agent the world has ever seen. She has explored areas that is beyond comprehension of human mind. She brings a smile on every one's face. She has redefined love and its emotional expression. "All that the world needs is Love and Love is what the world needs".

A woman can do it with maximum ease. Do we have to teach a fish how to swim? The answer to all teh nagging problems of the world is available with women. Women have the potential to straighten things out in the world. A woman is capable of all that the world needs.

A woman brings a life into this world, nurtures it to glory. On every March 8, we read on news papers and TV channels about Women who are doing great in their respective fields. Its a great noble activity to do. But, in the process we undermine the unsung heroines of everyone's life and every day's happening.

Remembering woman Just on march 8 is an insult to the great services that women have offered to this society. They are the prime reason for this society to celebrate. While March 8 is a special day for many reasons than one, to me every day should be celebrated a women's day. By doing this, the society could do something in return for the greatest creation of God - WOMAN.

Thank you is too small a word to use to be grateful to women. We need to live our lives in a way to glorify the services that women have rendered to this world.

Wish you all a very happy women's day.

Get together at "Pentahut" - frenship rocks :)

My stay in Bangalore is boring in many ways than one. But, often we come up with this strategy to kill the boredom and routine of life in bangalore by hosting a party to frens who mean a lot more than they could imagine off.

This is the second get together at our place. The event was to commemorate two occasions. One the birthday of our fren and then a yr end get together of all of us before the college closes for summer. It was a very interesting event that took place.

There is a lot of careful planning that goes in for organizing the event. Starting from preparing the guest list to the games that we play, the refreshments and the like. Planning these kind of events helps us build our event management skills.

This event dint have games planned. sorry about that. there is a brief period of no sound and boredom slightly sneaked its nose into the party scene. thanks to a fren who brought the life back to it by imitating all the possible characters in the college.

there was a good cake cutting ceremony, snow spray being sprayed mercilessly on the poor bday girl, party poppers being popped to welcome the bday with a bang, and then ofcourse bday bums to give the finishing touch.

it was an evening of fun and frolic. it was an event to get to know people make more frens and upgrade existing frenship to a better level. it was total fun that made the event a grand success. further, the true spirit of the program is the Frenship that binds us together despite the fact that we are different in many ways from each other like place, language, origin and the blah.

The word that unifies us is "FRENSHIP". Life looks a lot more beautiful with this powerful word that can even turn a brute to a human. Love offered by frenship is beyond human measure and one must experience it to enjoy it.

After the party was over, we had a mini party where we took tonnes and tonnes of resolutions. Some were serious and some were funny, but the nevertheless the spirit of the evening was at its best.

Looking forward to such parties often to make life more happier and meaningful in Bangalore. :)
