Astrology


Last two to three weeks I am hearing about astrology from every 2nd person I have called. One friend was scolding astrologers for making his life a little discomfort by bluffing his parents; another friend’s parents were worried due to a comment made by one astrologer on their daughter’s marriage; my brother was against my family astrologer’s forecast and I myself was in utter shock due to various forecast made various astrologers on various things for various people and ultimately all turned out to utter non-sense.

What people say about astrology is it predicts our future on the basic assumption that our life is predestined. Is life predestined? If yes what is the point of doing hard work or for that matter do something / anything in life? We can just sit at one place and wait for the things to happen. I guess the only thing that can happen is DEATH at one point or another and I guess only DEATH is predestined. Destiny, u r destined to sth, etc., are used just to motivate people to do something in life. People invented these words as they do not understand why certain things happen to them. Sometimes it is beyond one’s comprehension to decipher the things. So to make life simpler they invented words like LUCK ,DESTINY, PRE-DESTINED .These make people accept things and move on rather than cry for answers and waste life.

People go to the astrologers and ask them to tell when will this happen ?when will that happen ? If not how to get it ? What remedies should be done to get what they want? Even I did these in my past years.If you are desperate for the things to happen or if u are ready to go bear anything for the desire you have things are bound to happen.U do not need any remedies for that.If u get everything u desired ? If u have any failed in achieving sth ? If only good happens to you?  What kind of life is that.I bet that after one had that kind of life, at the end of his term he will defiantly be unsatisfied with life.

The New ‘MY’Tattoo

Image
It took nearly three and half years to get the new tattoo inked on my body. This tattoo has a special significance to me as it represents me psychologically and emotionally. The inception of the idea of getting tattooed has begun when I met Aparna Sarepaka (alias Appy) who is an amazing artist (One of few best artists I have known till date) and was amazed by her designs and sketches. I asked her whether she could help me out in sketching myself for a tattoo. She agreed and asked me to fill a template about likes / dislikes and interests /disinterests. She actually sent me some designs but those are cluttered and needed some modifications. I requested her to do the same. Meanwhile she got busy with her exams and then with her life and the project went on HOLD.Then I worked independently looking lot of designs in different cultures and trying to match to my philosophy in life.Nothing got materialized. After sometime I met Tejaswi Damaraju , an architect with immense interest in des...

Interval Bang

As I was falling from the plane from 13300 ft with a speed of 200Km/hr, I felt very much relieved as I completed my bucket list that was created five years back.I became free from it. I was so attached to the bucket list that there was a background process running all the time in my mind to complete the bucket list. Freedom is unexplainable experience. I did not know how to express it and I felt like running running running and running. The moment I landed on the ground, I got an impression that half of my life was over. In the movie language, the first half was over and the interval time had arrived. Bazinga!!! Looking back, life was mostly passive till third year of my engineering education. Life spurted during the final year. Then it started to scrawl then to walk then to sprint then to run. Past 6 to 7 years, life was at a very good rush: Ignorance recognized, ego brought down, confidence unveiled, courage uncovered, love craved, character built, innocence protected, youthful vi...

Becoming a little Lighter

Image
Philosophy is in my blood. If you chat with me for 30 min I will atleast refer it 7 to 9 times or perhaps more. People  were puzzled, and even considered  me foolish /stupid and if the person was woman /gal she would go mad. Some people thought I would become sanaysi at one point of time. It has reached a point where for even I do not get a cup of tea I started referring philosophy which made people even more mad and this in turn made me mad. I tried to control it but I could not. As George Bernard had put it more eloquently “ Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman but believing what he read made him mad.” I guess I am Don Quixote in making. I was brought up in a lower middle class Brahim family. Philosophy is everything for us. To get motivation I referred philosophy, to calm myself I referred philosophy, to get answered questions I referred philosophy, if my dad sends my brother out of the house since he did not make it into top 3 of the class I referred philosophy,  wh...
