Is there something more than we all know or imagine or describe which is yet to be discovered ?

It was April 19th when I had given a glimpse of sneak peek into my next blog in previous post "Oh Diamond! Diamond! Thou little knowest the mischief thou hast done". This instant, the clock on my system reads 12th of June 2009.What is the elapsed time in-between? Approximately 53 days!, which accounts to 1272 hrs, which can be described as a massive 76320 minutes, going one step further would make it humongous 4579200 secs..we can go on and on and on ..billionths of a second would read an astronomical 4579200000000000 nanosecs.... Where are we heading ? how long can we logically drill this down into further precession so that our senses can make some sense out of it ? Isn't it funny,I am dividing a quantity and the best word I came up was "Astronomical".Well do I see a universe at both ends here.... h-uh!!.

Questions like,How big is our universe? Does it end anywhere ? if it does, what is beyond it?..Is our universe a small entity on some other relatively huge universe where the size of our universe is inconsequential when it comes to measurement? Hopping to the other end of spectrum, how small can anything be?.. pico's and femto's? or there is something so small, say a particle of size "X,decimal followed by 1000's of zeros and a unity" to which an atom (that we humans think is considerably small) is as big as our universe? Could there be a life out there?I mean like some small universe there, which we may never ever discover? these question have fathomed me right from my childhood and I don't expect it to be answered convincingly any time soon.

As humans we may never get an answer to these questions,no matter how hard we try,no matter how determined we are, but we will keep looking for these answers which sets us apart from rest. These unanswered questions fractionally reduces the greatness of our human evolution as a supreme being to have walked and ruled the plant Earth albeit without knowing the limits of our own spatial confines....this makes me believe that "Yes,there is something more than we all know or imagine or describe which is yet to be discovered! not only in everytihng around us,but also in each one of us."

I Just can't have enough of this superb song!




"If Today Was Your Last Day"

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

Oh Diamond! Diamond! Thou little knowest the mischief thou hast done!-

Oh Diamond! Diamond! Thou little knowest the mischief thou hast done!- These were the words Sir Issac Newton uttered when his pet, Diamond burned down his twenty years of research.Newton was calm and caring towards his dog .

It could be his inner strength,patience and humility towards his pet, but I feel it is because of the amazing relationship that we humans have with these dogs.

Times will never change, dogs and humans have been sharing a special bond for thousand of years and dogs simply don't stop to amaze us.

I don't have the luxury to say that it was summer of '69 ,but it was damn hot summer of 2009.I was walking on the road at about half past noon with sun beating down,along the shades of buildings and trees to a nearby store. All of a sudden I saw a mob gathered around a stray dog,badly injured and unable to stand.It was a sad sight,I got to know that the dog was hit on its head in some freak dog fight.It seemed all lost and I wondered the dog was in its last moments.

People rushed, brought some water and poured on it, some made frantic calls to a local vet,some brought ice slabs and started rubbing on it.Nearby store owners came running and were concerned about the stray dog's plight.The dog they just see everyday but none of them own,it had become a part of their lives.Each person had their own versions of pet name for the dog,people kept cheering the dog to stand and showed lot of affection.

The dog desperately tried to stand,but failed first up,to everyone's surprise got successful on the second try.I wondered,I shouldn't have called it a stray.It has so many well wishers.Its amazing what wonders the care and affection can do, the healing power it has.Everyone around started clapping.It was some sort of celebration in the middle, people got crazy and matched something similar to what happens when India pulls off an improbable win.It was a sight to behold and moment to treasure.

Simple things in life sometimes, brings so much of joy.The dog was back on its legs,wagging its tail ,the doggie was happy among the crowd.I got a bit nostalgic about the dog we had.It met a similar fate, but was not fortunate enough to see another day. Everytime I recollect the moments with my pet,it brings heaps of joy that has no ends.The way it used to communicate,its gestures,expressions and its presence.Anyway this particular episode ended on a happy note.

Whats happening
I had to be at Hollywood,CA at this point of time, but for this recession the project got on hold at the last moment and it's in for a bit of a delay.Recession has hit everyone's psyche these days, many wonder are we in for a great depression of 1930's.It's even got to the advertisements,Airtel making use of such a sober concept to pack it into a a wonderful, sugar coated, lovable and romantic Ad story featuring Viday Balan and Mahadavan in "प्यार में cutbacks नहीं होने चहियें" (In love there should not be any cutbacks).The Ad definitely brings smiles on everyone's face.So it all boils down to how you see it,aren't they seeing an opportunity in every difficulty.Frankly speaking , I don't see it has affected India that much, hope it stays that way.My spending never seems to stop and it's just increasing by the day.I did whole lot of shopping last month and that too just like that, just wanted to treat myself.I still see these shopping malls,complexes and markets buzzing and packed, albeit every stores have put discount hoardings.So what are you waiting for ?, go and grab the opportunity. Contribute your bit to drive away the budding recession.

Films I saw
13B - A very good movie.Nice murder mystery.
Ek - Some dubbed one,If you can digest some super-heroic stunts by a normal human being,go for it.
Fun and Masti (from the angrezz series) - A time pass comedy.

Crazy abt?
IPL , rooting for Bangalore RC ,Chennai CSK and Delhi Daredevils

Just a Pose !

Sneak peek into next blog.
Oh so beautiful nature n our universe....!!
"How big is the universe ? Does it end anywhere ? If it does what's beyond it ? ~ Scientists came with answer that "Universe is Expanding" , Is it the best they could come up for an answer ? Should we say there is something more than we all know or imagine or describe which is yet to be discovered"

Alas February's over !

It was a strange feeling this February. Did I feel that the world around was in a state of Collapse or was it just my perception or was it "it's just me" who felt it that way or was it just a casual feeling that some big thunderstorm is brewing beneath.

Am I trying to write something that way just because I would love to write something like that...Only my inner soul would know it and the reasons for it?

A lot happened, but in reality nothing much to jot about, so it should be hard to culminate all the experiences that I had last month.


- There are lots of good things that can happen to anyone's life, but sometimes they don't ... and when it doesn’t the best way to accept it is to say "maybe we don’t deserve it".[General life thought]

- Timing is very important in life, a second, minute, day, month or a year doesn’t matter... when it gets late "it's late" that it. Sometimes you lose something and sometimes something loses you.. Some say that's the way of life. ". [General life thought/professional work related]

- People are judgmental they never give second thought. So take sides/decisions but be open to plethora of possibilities and accept that even "even you/your thoughts can be wrong". [Experiences after a general discussion]

- Be kind, never hurt. Try to understand what the other person is going through their life,Sometimes they cling on and believe to core to what they are going through. remember words are lethal. [Experiences after a general discussion]

- Everyone has an their own expectation, opinion, likes and dislikes...so respect it.[General life thought]

- Hope is a definitely a good thing, at the same time its bad to hope something too long that may never happen. Getting the right mix of hope and time is like a breakeven point of life.[General life thought]

- Never ever think that life has been unkind ...Just look around; There are lots of people who are so much unfortunate. Some still struggle for food, clothing and shelter. Try to make a donation for some good cause in whatever capacity you can.
[Just look around with eyes open]

and to wrap it up ...
- One more valentine's day passed, phew! and I am still single just like each and everyday of my life…. But anyway I did not loose sleep over it,thanks to work life stress that kept me preoccupied with it…

Life ka Funda thoda Jyada ho gaya.. likhna tha likh diya .. Maybe I would revisit this post someday and feel ,, "What was I thinking, was I being foolish/philosophical/sentimental...or whatever!!" but again does it really matter...?
