A casual anagoge

Sometimes, just a casual conversation can give you so much which can influence you whole life. Values inculcated by Karamchand made his son walk in the direction no one dared to. We today know him as 'Mahatma'.

Following are the excerpts from a casual chat I had with a buddy of mine today on an instant messager.

Me: Getting screwed real bad man :((
XYZ: Thats only because you resist
Me: Haha...Depends on how you look at it...
XYZ: Enjoy it and you will see that you are actually enjoying :D
Me: some believe in going with the flow..some believe that the very meaning of their lives is to keep moving however strong the juggernaut is
XYZ: so which one are you ?
Me: I haven't decided yet :)
XYZ: :P
Me:I want to be the one who keeps moving..but the juggernaut is pushing me back....not only the external juggernaut , but the one inside me does the same...
and I strongly believe if I conquer myself...I will be someone I really want to be
XYZ:because it’s the nature .....the ONYL problem is that we are not with the nature...flow with the universe and then there is no misery :P
Me: that is the whole point dude...what do you consider to be as nature and what you consider to be the opposing force....if you consider opposing force to be the nature you might enjoy flowing with the flow....it all depends on one's perception
XYZ: opposite force = miss-understanding / ego / stupidity
and yeah perception is there
Me: correct.... perception is what matters..that is what defines you...not the bones and flesh in you
XYZ: so who is this speaking ?
Me: I suppose none of the two characteristics we are talking about...
instead...
it's the artist in me..who comes out at time to show his literary abilities :P :p
XYZ: artist :O omg :P
Me: haha :D
anyways...was good to talk..even for a while...will keep pinging you
XYZ: this is real you I guess .... when you are alone you suffer from yourself , otherwise most of the time you are busy with some work n all
Me: very well stated...right you are...it’s just the situations which make you act differently...and there are some which bring the real 'you' in you...
anyways...will split now...


Keeps me thinking...

A futile beginning or...

I spent 20 minutes figuring out about the content of my first blog. And why? Because I wanted to have something 'good' as my first step. Easier it is for us to conceptualize a thing and how harder it is for the implementation. So, I will be considerate to myself. Rather than torturing myself to write a 'good' starting blog(as if I dont already have enough torturing events happening in this term), I would try to stick to one statement Mr. Bagchi said while he was here in the IIMB campus to address us, the fresh prospective leaders of the country. He said 'Your are your best friend and you are your worst enemy'. And now I understand it better when I wasted 20 minutes of my precious time just trying to figure out the content of my first 'killer' blog. Just for a change, let me just concentrate on the implementation, ideas will bud, keep on watering the plant.

And miles to go before I sleep,
