Question: What is the unbeatable price of an item?





Answer: Free (= zero)


(Lets try and put it in an equation form)

Item * unbeatable price = free = 0


=> Nothing comes for free. ;P

Brainwave ;)

Relatively speaking

Bernard Shaw said in one of his essays, "Good or bad is relative."

What seems good to one generation need not be so for the next. This is what is change and civilizations thrive because of it. However, when a collective group thinks of something as good, then perhaps it has very little scope of being bad (collective wisdom and all that new world jazz).

I personally feel that we should legalize all activities to have lesser crimes. The mind always wants to do what it is asked not to. Let there be law but no legalization. The concept sounds funny especially in the context of what we call henious crimes but hey, whats wrong with testing?

I guess I need some sleep now (upstairs are half baked delusions of an insomniac).

Indicolors

I am amazed at the sheer multitude & abundance of colors (I mean colour) India has been blessed with. Everywhere you look you see varying shades of life. ABCD'S, half baked non residents of no man's lands, and pseudo critical eyes may look down upon the seeming disarray and apparent dishevelment. The bleached variety of our species are dumbfounded when they see a cow or a bull nonchalantly crossing a street or clogging up traffic thoroughfare. They start clicking photos of the same as if these innocent animals were aliens. I am sure the animals in western countries have stopped roaming on the streets for fear of being caught and gobbled up (just kidding!).

Have you ever noticed the absolute innocence in the eyes of a buffalo or the unsteady gait of a calf trying to keep up with its mother? Have you noticed the sheer bravado of a stray pup shouting at a bull (perhaps in an attempt to show off to his girlfriend) and the total disregard on the bull's face? Have you noticed the kinship of stray dog with a child of the streets? Have you noticed how an aging stray dog stands guard over an infant playing on the streets? It is foolish to try and capture such beauty in print. It should leave a mark on one's conscience. You do not need time to observe such things. They are a way of life in India where life means a colorful blend of joys and sorrows.

I do not question why we celebrate so many festivals every year. I love to celebrate all of them. They might be pointless and at times costly but atleast they give us something new to wake up to every morning. Atleast I do not spend my hard earned money in the pubs and nightclubs and contribute to make some low lives richer everyday. I do not pretend to understand the fascination the west holds for the youth today. All I know is that, I wouldn't trade my motherland for any other place on earth.

Misplaced intellect

Why do we call the western world developed? Most of the population there have anti-depressants as their staple diet. They pop a pill if they lose a partner, when they watch tv, when they see their offspring, if they gain a little weight and sometimes they pop a pill just for the heck of it. These people are the loneliest of the lot. They have no roots and when they are done trying to get over the fact, they start trying to find them. They live dual lives. On the surface and to the outside world they hide behind a confident & superior than thou facade. On the inside they are plagued by loneliness, rejection, fear of rejection and insecurity. Their lives according to me is the perfect example of materialistic existence. Unfortunately, we too are headed there.

What does development mean to us? We have stopped noticing the little things in life. All our living breathing moments revolve around silicon variants, Wasn't it meant to be the other way round? We find it easier to question our values and morals without for once thinking as to what we are without them. Are we bigger and better individuals today than our ancestors?

If we are indeed living a more developed life than our forefathers, shouldn't we in turn possess more good qualities than them? Shouldn't we be more hardworking, wiser (without google search), sacrificing, honest and blah, blah, blah?

Why are we so fascinated by everything that carries the western tag? Don't all religious texts proclaim that life started in the east? Why are we all trying so hard to end it in the west? The sun still rises first in the east. I am not saying that we have nothing to learn from the west. They are a hardworking lot. But their hard work is motivated by just one ELEMENT - MONEY.

We are STILL perhaps lazier in comparison to our western counterparts but with good reason. We can laugh out loud, we have families where we shout at & disagree with each other yet gather together at the dinner table without hurting our egos. We can scold our children without fear of imprisonment. We do not need psychologists and psycho analysts to set our kids right. Yes, we have our hangups. Yes, we are not open with our affections in public (I do not have such hangups but do not see any point in questioning them either). We are sufficiently independent (in the cities) to make our own choices (if we want to) without the burden of a moral baggage.
