Shades of being Chapter 3

Image
The fault in our Stars (2014) film is memorable for many reasons. But in a scene when Augustus says that he fears about Oblivion, I felt myself in his place. As far as I can remember I am a dreamer of legacies. I always wanted to have an indelible print of my own being in this universe, eternally. When we grow, we accumulate the consciousness from winnings and losses and successes and failures. That consciousness will take us from the dreams into a situation of reality. The successes make us excited to achieve the legacies of own where generations are going to remember us, celebrate us. Then the fear of Oblivion comes from every failure we face in our ambitious path. I have my fair share of both sides of the spectrum. I had to choose a path which will, in turn, give me an eternal place in this overcrowded multi-complex world. The choices were business, community service or even becoming a celebrity of a kind. I have tried all of them. When you are in a full of energy witho...

The happiness when you own a thing !

image credit  Mridhu.B.R We at present are living in a globalized world, just call it a global village. Here our tastes and preferences are not ours anymore, it is controlled by external factors that surround us. We are influenced in a wider range by various entities which choose things for us and we get very little chance to choose the right product based on our needs. Consider a girl who plans to buy a lipstick (be it any other cosmetic products that she uses). Why does she need it?  she may have various reasons to buy a lipstick like a perception that she might look good in it, want it since most woman use lipsticks, saw that in an advertisement so she responds to get it, saw a movie and was inspired from her favourite actress who looks great on lipstick so decides to get one for her, or maybe she thinks that the society has fixed using lipstick as an ideal yardstick of looking beautiful. The above are the possibilities that she would buy the lipstick. Now the...

THE GAME CHANGER

            Image credit @Ashika                                 Air we breathe is the most important component for our life. The quality of air decides the health of an individual. Health of an individual decides the growth of a society. Growth of a society decides the development of a Nation. Status of air in India In India places like Delhi, Patna, Gwalior are the most polluted. The quality of air that the people breathe in such places is the worst compared to other places in our country. Rising levels of PM - Particulate matter in the air that surrounds us threatens not only us but also the children. Luckily people in such cities have found a solution for the problem. The solution for such threatening problem was not planting trees but fixing air purifiers starting from the house to public places such as schools, offices etc. The total market for ai...

Toll Free Traveller

“Their bicycles caused no little astonishment on the way, and the remarks passed by the natives were almost amusing. At some of the villages the boys clustered round the machines, and where they could, caught hold of them and ran behind until they were tired out. Many enquiries were made as to the name of ‘them queer horses,’ some called them ‘whirligigs’, ‘menageries’ and ‘valparaisons’. Between Wolver Hampton and Birmingham, attempts were made to upset the riders by throwing stones.”             Above is the newspaper report about three riders who set off from Liverpool to London, a journey of three days and so more resemblant to modern motor cycle touring on March 1869. The  passion for motorcycle touring around the world started in the late 19 th century. More than a century now, motorcycle riders have grown in large numbers all around the world and Indi...

Shades of being - Chapter 5

Image
M. Night Shyamalan’s movie ‘Split’ (2016) is a unique and ambitious effort to bring the 24th character, the ultimate one, into our imaginations. While the movie could be appreciated for a number of reasons, what impressed me is the concept that unravelled on the limit of human abilities. There are other movies like “Lucy” (2014) or Limitless (2011) are tried something about the boundaries of the human brain. But what makes ‘Split’ unique is its psychological angle rather than relying upon some crowd-pleasing causes and effects.  I was excited after I watched the movie the first time, went on crazy mode. I could remember that day when I was over frenzied about the movie while I was narrating the story to my friends on the dinner table in our hostel mess. Still, I am not sure what made me crazy about this.  We like superheroes, don’t we? Because they do something that we cannot do. In that way, we satisfy our urge to be an ultra-right person. Because we all don’t have a perfect ...

Good sleep for a fine day.

Image
‘Sleep is the best form of meditation’, but this is not realized by many of us. Some are night-loving and also seem proud to say that ‘I’m a night owl’. Indeed it is unusual. If there is any importance to sleep in our life then half of our psychological problems and trauma, what we are undergoing can be reduced. What is sleep? When we go with the definition, sleep is nothing but the state of mind and body in which the nervous system is inactive, the eyes are closed, our muscles are relaxed and our consciousness practically suspended. To be simple sleep is a condition in which our soul, mind and body need temporary rest. Insomnia The person who is regularly unable to sleep is called as an insomniac . The condition of insomnia is prevalent mostly in the age group of twenty and thirty for the reasons which could be prevented. Insomnia which occurs in older age groups are more fatal and need an expert to heal. In the first case, people tend to lose their sleep be...

இளங்காற்று வீசுதே !

கடந்த ஒரு வாரமாக இளமையின் தொடக்கப்புள்ளிக்கு வித்திடும் கல்லூரி பருவத்தின் கதை பல கோணங்களில் செய்திகளாக வலம் வந்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றன. அதாவது அதிகப்படுத்திய கல்லூரிக் கட்டணத்தை திரும்ப பெற வலியுறுத்தும் மாணவர் போராட்டம், மதம் பதம்பார்த்த மாணவி தற்கொலை என்று சமூகத்தின் அவலம் ஒரு பக்கமும், மறுபக்கத்தில் மாணவர்கள் போதைக்கு அடிமை, ஆசிரியரை கத்தியால் குத்திய மாணவர், ஓடும் பேருந்தில் அரிவாள் காட்டும் மாணவர்கள் என்று வழிமாறிப் போகும் மற்றொரு இளைஞர்கள் கூட்டம். இப்படி சொல்லக்கூடிய பக்கங்கள் எத்தனையோ இருந்தாலும் சொல்லிவிடாத இளமையின் மற்றொரு பக்கம் உள்ளது. ஆம், இளமை போர்க்குணம் மிக்கது. போராட்டம் மிகுந்தது. வலியும், வேதனையும் ஒருசேரக் கலந்தாலும் உழைப்பும், விவேகமும் அதனை முறியடித்து முன்னே செல்லும் ஆற்றல் உடையது. அப்படி இருந்தும் இளைஞர்களின் வாழ்வு எதை நோக்கி போய்க்கொண்டிருக்கிறது என்பதை பார்த்தால் வியப்பாகவும் இருக்கிறது, வேதனையாகவும் இருக்கிறது.வியப்பு என்னவென்றால் மீசை முளைக்காத வயதிலும் சரளமாய் காதல் கவிதைகள் எழுதுவது,தன்னை வளர்த்தெடுத்த பெற்றோர்களுக்காக இரவு பகல் பாராமல் உழைப...
