A says To B about C

One quotation that always inspired me is from the wall of my school library .  And this is not a wall of a facebook page.
"
When Great Minds meet ,they discuss ideas.
When Average Minds meet , they discuss events.
When Poor Minds meet , they discuss People.
"
Its a conversation between two people A and B.
A: Due know what happened in last semester ?
B: No , I Don't .
A: Oh that's why you don't know , why C is evil..
B: Ok.
A: He is so selfish , he is so mean , its like he studies all the time . Maggu Saala .
B: Oh! so how have you been ?
A: I have been good .  D , just got placed in a company . Man its sheer politics . You tell me...How can D be placed in such a company and for my goodness sake , even E and F are placed . though the company is not that good as D's company. Poltu Baaz saale. so tell tell ... what rational intellect of yours say ?
B: I don't know . How would I know ?
A: oh come on!! one knows these thing when you live in the campus... oh ! I got it ...how you'll be aware of the things, you don't live in the campus. sab MC BC hain saale is duniya main...

B was already irritated and now he was agitated

B: I will agree to everything that you are saying .
A: so what proof i need to give you ?
B: For how long have you been speaking.
A: at least 10 minutes.
B: for 10 minutes speak about your self.

And A was obviously speechless...


We all are in a rush to know others , the events happening in their lives , the events not happening in others life. And the irony is , we don't know ourselves.
and people who are like , A talks to A about A are no where to be find . Though talking to one own self is considered a sign of mental retardation ...


One Should Know Oneself.

Modern Slave

Adam and Eve were living happily on this planet , and then Eve ate my favorite fruit, that is an APPLE from the tree of knowledge , and Pandora's box was opened and knowledge became the moral ground for enslaving people .
Now workers or I should say slaves are manufactured in large number , no doubt India being one of the largest work force in the world. Children are sent to school , made to wear same clothes, are made to learn same things , are made to live the same way , so that they can become like one another . Their individuality is destroyed . So in future if one worker dies , his or her work can be done by the other worker since all of them are just like each other.
Children go to school , they aspire for great institutes like IITs, NITs , NSIT , NLU's etc. All having either Indian in it or national in it ironically, as then they aspire to go abroad  . So first 22 years of their lives are spent like this in India , and finally their leisure time from 9 AM to 8 Pm on weekdays is bought by some MNC , again MNC contains national somewhere between it. And now they are nothing but paid slaves . And some are not bought right now , they go for higher education , so that they can be bought on a much higher price .
These modern slaves work for an MNC to fill the bank accounts of some unkown person with money , which that unknown person doesn't use .
Education was meant to make us free, we became free thinkers , but are we really free ?
Or are we slave to money , luxuries , exotic species , technology , that education promises to give us.
Education eats time in childhood , and doesn't give time in adult hood.

PS : I have time right now , but not money. But when I ll have money , I will not have time to enjoy it.

Passion Less

"Happiest are the persons, who cheapest are the desires"


It has been more than two and half years , since I entered into IIT Delhi . And I have lived my life without running after something (like running a rat race to enter IIT). And running after various other things in life before the last race I ran .

Now I am living a life which people will call , living a mediocre life. Or I would have called it a mediocre life , but for me the time has changed and I have changed. Though that's a different thing , that I Enjoy food more , I enjoy and listen to Music more , I am away from the hurry sickness .  More importantly I am more healthy than I ever was . But I am living a mediocre life .

I still live in the same home , but now I enjoy the view from my balcony , which I never did before. I love the surroundings more , be it around home or around IIT Delhi . I no longer have a reductionist mind of looking at nature , now I enjoy the beauty as one integrated view.

Now words together form a B'ful poetry . I can stay at that piece of poetry , read it again and again , can read it as many times as I want to , unaware of the fact that their is more poetry in this world to be read . I am not reading it remember it ,so that I can vomit it out in exams . I am enjoying it , and I don't have to do this, to show to others that how much poetry I have read.

I am able to try new things. Just started sketching sometime back , a childhood desire left undiscovered  came out to me pretty well. I am again going towars childhood without aim , passion , doing what interests me , without a mind of a business man , not finding profit in that thing.

Even though I am passion less , I am living my life Passionately .
