One fine morning I woke up only to discover that I had bad stinking breathe due to smoking and still bad mood because of what I have been drifting through-out past my life and what I am gonna drift for rest of my life. Freedom is my birth right, says some big shot in indian 'political' independence. Well what I mean is, it is not some kind of fake thing with me as it is for everyone else including the sayer himself. My thoughts, actions, attitude, habits and consciousness, everything is free. Free of social bondages and un-acknowledged dictums.
You all, don't be so snickery and your souls don't talk to you some piece of golden words as it is to me. Your society is a fake notion. Set of some forlorn people who come together to form dictums they themselves follow and expect everyone to follow. Does this make a society? No. Society is for the benefit of all. Not for alliance with some rules formed eons back. It needs to be re-furbished. Political thoughts seeks balance between commonality and individuality. US and UK are tooo individualist, so lot of concessions for people. Homosexuals/transexuals/euthanasia and such many tooo individualist stuffs are allowed there and some places like that. But not everywhere. The change is political thought. Whose benefit is it for ? Take china. The thought centralized in commonality. it lies more in commune. Nothing to do with individuals. Not even bloggin is allowed. Polity is so skeptic of its own people that it suppresses even a single ignite within its territory to the entire world, even so benign world wide web.
Here I envision, man to become society in himself. Man to be free as Tilak says, not in words, not in thoughts but indeed.

भारतीय दर्शन का भूला बिछ्रा मार्ग
Story of alienation begins like this। Three thousand years ago, there use to be six theistic(astika) schools of Indian Philosophy, Nyay, Samkhya, Vedanta, Yoga, Mimamas, Vaiseshika. Only three are extant now, Mimamsa, Yoga and Vedanta. Reason, rest all were too metaphysical and provided no short cuts. Yoga and Vedanta have prevailed owing to great efforts from ISKCON and Swami Vivekanda. Leave Vedanta and Yoga aside, the one irrational school of thought has prevailed in every household, in every ceremony is Mimamsa. Mimamsa says, it is possible to achieve God, dispel Sorrow and reach salvation by means of Karm-Kanda i.e. some religious processing (like satyanarayan bhagwan kee Pooja Or Feast for 5 Brahmans or Visiting a Temple, atop the mountain).
One of the most logical and epistemologically rich school of thought was Samkhya। Samkhya had dualist view of the world. According to Samkhya, there exist just two things in the world, Purush (its Atman, Soul irrelevant to Gender) and Prakriti (the nature, body,॥). Prakriti is a primordial substance that metamorphoses into various other forms and shapes. Like, Earth gets converted to food we eat. Our excreta gets dissolved back to earth. Our body is just one form of prakriti. It will eventually dissolve in prakriti. It will again be primordial thick mass indistinguishable between you and me. The actual identity of the person is Purush not prakriti. His self lies in Purush, the atman. But he feels, he is, his body. He feels, he is his power, his position. The roots of sorrow are here. They are right here in the Person’s identification with prakriti. Person is unable to distinguish himself from his body that is root of all his sorrow.
Shrimad Bhagvad Geeta, makes many reference to Samkhya school of thought। But the ways and solutions provided in Samkhya are no more followed. They have been forgotten. Other short-cut, lowly schools are followed and ingrained in the thought process of future generations. Future generations tend to become smarter and logical, they started rejecting illogical processions, illogical chantings. They are misled that Indian philosophy is meager Karm-Kanda and nothing more. Time is now to rejuvenate the other less paved ways of Indian Philosophy….

God
Either a thing exist or it exist not. Thomas Aquinas elaborates further. If a thing exist now that means at some point of time it would have existed not and at some time in future it will cease to exist again. Now for all the atheists in the world, If this world, this universe exists now, it would have been some point in past when it wouldn't have been there. If nothing existed then how could something come out of nothing. This calls for inevitability of God. If nothing exists then God prevails. The term we call nothingness or emptyness is feeling of Godliness, Divinity.
We become knowledged by perception of outside world through our senses. Through senses we create mental image of these worldly objects. So our world consists of set of these images, impressions and Ideas. In short, World is nothing but collection of these infinite ideas. Now keep subtracting your ideas, impressions and mental images from your knowledge subset, until you reach ZERO. Attainment of zero, is nothing but feeling of emptyness, feeling of nothingness, feeling of Godhood. This transition of Humanhood to Godhood is possible only by removing the curtain of knowledge and ideas.
Next step is dropping the idea of Idea itself. Dropping the idea of process of mental image formation. Dropping the idea of impressions. This will prevent us from forming any idea or mental imagery. With this nudity of knowledge, you become as nascent as a new born baby in the world. In this state, even a look at any petty object will make you feel the difference, that you have been seeing this world throgh a tainted glass of your ideas. You have been devoid of Godliness. You have been devoid of nothingness.

Green or Red Revolution
JMM leader and former CM of Jharkhand state, Babulal Marandi’s daughter gets killed by Naxalites. Reason is attributed to first Green revolution way back in1960s. In the population of 1000+ crores, 650 Crores gain their livelihood from agriculture. A govt of India has bare 1.27% of GDP planned for improvement in agricultural sector. Out of 650 Crores, nearly 300 Crores gain are land-less farmers and agro-labors. Past 60 years of planning has worked on technological advancements in agriculture. Technological advancements have multiplying effect on the throughput on agriculture sector. At the dawn of independence, there has been huge economic inequality in population involved in agriculture. Because of technological multiplication factor, the inequality itself has been multiplied to a larger hiatus. The rift between rich peasantry and land-less labors has increased manifold past 60 years. No wonders, more than 1/3rd of Indian territory is inflicted with Naxalism. Its com-proportionate with percentage of land-less labor.
Land reforms have never been addressed in five year plans of India. Despite Leftist involvement in NDA coalition, there is no agenda on land-reforms. Government has no plans to address distribution of land to land-less farmers, ceiling on agricultural land for rich peasants. Without these reforms, the economic rift in agricultural hoi polloi will not improve. And any advancement in technology and farming is going to accentuate the inequality. First Green revolution has been triggered in the areas of already high production and rich peasants such as Punjab, Western UP and Harayana. Partially because of immediate sorting of food sufficiency problem in India that time, or immediate high returns of investment from economic ground, or political stratagem with rich land-owners, but beneficient cycle of growth didn’t whirl to the extent expected in other regions.
I heard, there is going to Land reform committee headed by PM (Luminary PM). Let’s see how the second green revolution works out, just to keep Red revolution in Abeyance.

It happens only in India..
Yesterday withstood my impact on echelons, tomorrow won’t. Politics of Somalia might have been decrepited by militia but it won’t last longer because chaos is very energetic phenomena. And universal law dictates that every object tends towards losing its energy. So the chaos always summarize to order. Anarchy always culminates in Democracy. Some societies are born will lot of inertia. Some are born with lot of latent energy. Though we all represent one human society. There exist differential approach and perspective within us, that contends us to be different from others. So all societies tend to be unique.
Tenets of Indian culture imbue tolerance and patience in the individuals of India. More than half the population lives in poverty. They do so with aspirations and hope of better tomorrow. They rarely do anything to get rid of it. But they do move with external pressure. A perfectly inertial Indian society. China differs none from India. They too have lot of people below poverty line. But they system believes in exploiting the latent energy within there people. Really, Indian and China are not comparable on any grounds. If there is unemployment in China, Chinese govt will send 10 batches of 100 people from the area to city to have training on entrepreneurship and provide them accountable funds to kick-start there means of livelyhoood. What will happen in India is very dramatic in that sense? They will imitate European countries or partially because of vote bank (Alas !! the universal suffrage), they will provide unemployment allowances to people to assuage. And the worst will happen when even the employed, unregistered people will wipe out all the money for their mobile phones.
Such stupendous policies tend to make sure our latent energy becomes as latent as possible and are subsequently inherited by our offsprings. Well the universal law still holds true, Objects naturally move towards lesser energy. So we keep moving towards stagnation and poverty. Thanks to external thrusts like FDI, FII,P-Notes and Outsourcing that some do have good standard of living.

Boredum
I rubbed my eyes in desperation that o shit ! this morning isn't different either. The same old sun, same old house and all other paraphernalia. What me felt is boring and tedious. Thousand and one human think the same way. Then they go ahead with their chores. How wrong was Heraclitus to say, that, 'we don't enter the same river again'. He inculcated 'nature of change' in every subtle 'change of nature'. And his disciple goes even a step ahead saying, 'we never enter a river, even once'. Then could I breath the same air again ? How could I feel the same boredom twice ? How could I stay in the same house again, every moment ?
Boredom is unique every time. We tend to think in continuum but we don't think different things at all. We think 90% of things that we thought a day before. We think repeatitiously, the same thought again and again, unconsciously. Ever thought why we think at all this way ? If we do that then we are enlightened. Boredom is awareness that we have been thinking the same thing for long time. Boredom is consciousness. Thinking is hallucination. A sort of euphoria for Mind. Its an appetite for mind. Mind cannot live without thinking.
Boredom is beginning of something new. It makes us pregnant for novelty. But always, our mind takes over this novel embryo. And we succumb to pleasure of mind and mind keeps churning old thoughts again and again in vicious circle.
So dear friends, if ever you come accross boredom, try out something as bizzarre as possible and don't succumb to mind. Make it subservient. Make him listen and you go on uttering, whats uncommon and bizarre...

Still and Spellbound.....
He stood staring at her spanish brocade window panes, still shut as though no one resided there. He stared a rosy endless stare and to his bonne chance, window panes cranked open. The most beautiful hands, belle mains appeared and tucked the hooks in the panes to broader purview. 'Cathy, God forbid, Yesterday night I dreamed .... a sinister dream... you just flang that curtain !! ', she summoned. Cathy replied,' O Madame, the grande lady of ile de re, what you dreamed is juss the shadow of the reality, something good is to happen, madame".
Fabio sighed hopely relief and it started to rain. The rain started to trickle through his hairs and soaked in his coat unless it drenched and started to drip.The sunrays blend with the rain, pesevered to his face and reflected back from his eyes. Rosera chuckled with joy, looked up to the sky and witnessed the flock of fog, seeping in the rain. Her eyelashes impregnated with dew drops, her hairs settled upto her honey breasts. Fabio rekindled the confidence and beckoned her,'Rosssera !!'. The bland voice in the lively ambiance got lost. He called her again.
Rosera, with her exponent smile, curvy eye brows settled her eyes on her beloved Fabio, 'O Cathy, the greatness happened. None days had been so beaux... So gorgeous as this..'. ' The lord of the worlds has showered so intense zephyr through my veins that I see my Fabio, the love of my life..' Fabio stood still, spell bound in the curves of his beloved. He couldn't beckon her again. Her mere presence bestowed the divinity unto him.. Unsurpassed.. The heart with joy became so free and and felt too extraneous to reside in his body... It became free of all the bondage.. As though he waited this moment his whole life ever since in prison... Rosera couldn't resist her tears down trickling and merging with the rain... Even though settled through her life and her routines.. . She couldn't never beleagour that feeling to meet him again.... Her child might have gone to new age.. But her eyes still were cherubic... childlike... seeking... thirsty... She just witnessed fabio for few moment, the moment which was her own, the essence of her very own.. and never to again ... be for her...
People screamed, ' some one died here ..O. the dead body.. ' 'Do you know who is he' 'He was here for past few hours' 'Let me call the cops..'
Cops came and took his body for examination..
Rosera still weeping with her stone eyes....
It still rained. Fog still settled on her balcony. Sunrays still seeped to her room..
