Pursuit Of Happiness

One evening I was  surfing channel , when I saw one discussion going on about the index of happiness . In that it was found that Denmark has the happiest people in the world . And one of the guest told his experience about Cuban people who also ranks high on this index .As the cuban economy is below par , they are not a consumerate society .They dont have the money to buy anything so they instead put their mind in keeping relations .. 
Intersting thought really .. If I have the money then I will do either of two things .. one how to utilize this money for present and make plan for the current inflow to continue in future and second to raise my head and compare with rest others who are earning more than me and making plan to cross them .. If I have TV I will buy cd player and if I have 2-bhk flat will buy 3-bhk in metro .. 
On these thoughts I forget my freinds , my neighbours , my society ...Still I continue the unsatiable thirst of fulfilling my desire ,oblivion to the fact that desire can never be fulfilled and fulfillment of one gives rise to another .. In my sublime we think the happiness and desire are same .. but no not same ..All these above lines have been told by many spiritual leaders and I know them very well ..still everyday I forget and remain in the pursuit ... 
     But then what I will do .. will I leave my home , my job  , my family and become oblivion to all my responsibility and wander in the forest .. 
No one can answer this .. But what answer now I find is that to search for the fulfillment of desire on the name of Pursuit of happiness is the purpose for which I am made of .. I can not separate from it.. This is my Karma .. to be attached to the mundane world and continue to compare and loose rather estarnged and win ..
Neither being compeltely abhorrent nor being completely a gourmet ... I am in the world because some one has done that and I will do because some one will come .. 
it's like walking the path to know the path .. noone can tell you what lies ahead or beneath or above or under .. 
I am writing with completely insane mind .. i started with Cuba and now I have reached Karma .. well knowing this also I am not deleting all those because this is the way it was meant to be .. U can never become happy unless U know what is meant to be sad .. and if I will completely understand what the Pursuit of Happiness is then what is the logic of my existence in the world ...
On a software language if developer will not leave bug then what testers , support managers will do .. and how the project is going to give me revenue for 8 long years .. 

Some can say this capitalistic society is hell responsible for these then let it be .. does not it give me pleasure when I see my share pirces going high on sensex and does not it give me pleasure when my 10 year son comes first in the state level debate competition .. though his failure in national level competition can give me sleepless mournings .. or my share plummeting due to subprime makes me poorer by  50% of my worth .. 

If some one is haapy with his simple living  and high thinking then be it .. 

I would rather like to live in the Matrix and continue to enjoy earthly twist than to become the follower of Mr Anderson ...

Waiting for the league of extra ordinary events

Be it Indian Premier league . Indian Political League (vote ) or not so known Hollywood Premier League on HBO .. lots of events coming up .IPL was an astounding success last year and the success formula was a case study in management institutes and now it has added another dimensions .. Having Indian Premier League in South Africa (Mahamta Gandhi must be smiling ... it was South Africa where he started ) ...

Now on a serious note when IPL started last year everyone said that this clash of cities in India wont work but they were all silent .. Now they say having a match in SA kills the purpose of city clashes .. I am eager to know how these guys are making this things .. because it will open all new avenues ... 
It's new form of outsourcing .. If a situation in a country is bad then shift the occassion to another and this is what "the world is flat  " is all about ...So if IPL season 1 was Mr Anderson knew that he is the person to break the jinx of Matrix then IPL season 2 may be Matrix Reloaded with new avenues and adventures ... (quite a comparision .. IPL with Mr Neo ) ..

Salamm Rahman ..

I couldn't but came up with another ode to Master Rahman .. I congratulate him for the oscar and the glory he has brought . but I am really ecstatic about the line he delivered "All through my life I had the choice of love and hate and I choosed love ..."
Thank you Rahman ... You have delivered the perfect punch to all .. I sincerely hope this universal line reaches to all the persons and makes this world a little good place ...
If I remeber Spideman-2 also echoed the same note . we have choices to make .. and I pray god to give all my fellow men and me the will power to chosse love over hate ..

Delhi -6 and SlumDog

Couple of week , when someone asked A.R.Rehman about the ongoing controversy about Slumdog Millionaire , he replied if someone complains about the picture that this film shows about India , then that person should go and make a movie on actual glorious Incredible India and tell them See this is what real India is ..
I dont want to start once again the futile debate about Slumdog but I just started with because Delhi-6 just showed me what Slumdog lacked ... I really admired Slumdog and I thoroughly enjoyed and now I am eagerly waiting for it to win Oscar ...I don't buy the idea that through Slumdog someone painted India as proverty-sticken country .. Slumdog is an excellent work of art and I enjoyed .. But what SlumDog missed is the gaining point of Delhi.. Or it may be "Tale of Two Different Cities "... But if I take both Delhi and Mumbai and India as one entity then ... Delhi -6 showed why Indianness works ..why diversity is our unity .. why the hole in a wall is used by the women of two houses to share ... why the cow giving birth to calf stops traffic .. and why the civilzation has lasted for 5000 years and will continue to grow ...
The combination of Slumdog and Delhi -6 is what we see around ..If a boy in slumdog can become crorepati then an NRI can come here and can visualize the journey within himself ..
Despite all odds a Slumdog becomes millionaire and despite all odds kala bandar brings back communal harmony ..

Lets Celebrate two great pieces of work and story -telling and that's what I have done ..
Jai Ho .. Kala Bandar .....

Choices and destiny are they opposite or complemet.

Is a man bound by his destiny ? we get to read life of many people who have changed their destiny by their preservance and also their hard work .. 

Now we also hear if you don't make choice choice makes you .. Now if we think destiny is something determined by that Almighty which we have to challenge then we say I made the choice to defy my destiny and make my Destiny of myslef .. Now this Big D destiny is also a choice and and that small d destiny is alos choice .. 
So Choice and destiny goes along with each other ... So what if I dont do anything and let the almighty do it for myslef .. And what if I tried my heart-out to change what the almight has planned to do for me .. 

I am totally confused .. Can we make a choice to choose our destiny or destiny determines what choice we are going to take ..
See . If you have been reading till this end .. you must have been crazy enough ..

Week of SHAME ...

Somewhere I read .. this is week of shame and that's right .. this is week of shame for all of us .. this is shame for we all Indians .. this is shame for our resilence .. this is shame for our "sab thik ho jayega " attitude .. this is shame for our democracy when a chief minister disrespecs a martyr .. I am very much delighted to see people gathering and burning canndles at gateway of india .. well a good beginning .. but let me say one thing .. the real outcome not lies in throwing away democracy or politicians .. when we say we dont want politicians .. do we have persons strong enough to carry this country forward ? do we have persons to be accountable for their act ?Answer is NOO..
If we say we pay tax and that's why we want all our money to go in proper places .. then it's really shame for us .. we cannt except our wish to do everything .. it should be our work .. anywaz shame on me .,. as always I write it on blogs ...

Hope .. I shouldnt be a MAN......

No ..This is not my frustration and not I am making any joke .. This time I really ask ...why in the world I choose this life ... I shouldn't be sitting in front of the television set for 4 days and observing and discussing about my fellow countrymen who laid their lives ..
God ..forgive me .. but whenever I listened to those gentlemen discussing a cure to these barbaric act .. i was thinking myself what I should have said in such a discussion .. but I have to act .. I have to change .. I say it's spirit . it's resilence when I go out of my home every week day for my living .. when a billion of my countrymen are dying in hunger ... wouldn't they venture out ??
When I am saying political figures need to be blamed ...and then I think what are the choices .. but themain question is Do I Have Given a choice to myself ? The answer is no ...
I am really sick of myself .. working for the sake of it .. There's no glory no dignity .....
Why the hell I have taken this choice ...
And last but not the least why the hell I am again describing all these in my blog .... to only know that I cann't do anything but to write one more blog on one more barbaric act and then venturing out for my livelihood tomorrow ...

No solution is there .. frankly speaking we all are in a tunel and the length of the tunnel is so long that we can't cover it in our seven births ... let alone this birth ....
So happy Sunday to all ..Lets Shed some tear ..Lets discuss some petty matters . Lets point our figures to all direction and if noone is around then to the almighty ..... and life will go along .....
