What are you running from? what is everyone running from, or are they running towards something, do they know that for sure, I doubt that. Then why so much running for nothing, I can understand when people like bollywood biggies and ambanis run for a cause, though that too is not much of a reason but atleast that is what we all like to buy, dont we. When was the last time one did something just for the mere kicks out of it, when did we wander in the wilderness for no *logical* reason at all. When was it when we threw all mediums of communication and sat in a chair looking out to the horizon and ending up sleeping there reading a book.

The quest to organize ourselves and the world and to make sense out of everything has left us so out of order and un-organized that we can wagely relate to what we are really here for and even give staggering looks to those who ask us that weird sounding question these days. We have gone so far in the quest of the false rather than the truth that eventually has made us go astray and now we are all like wandering minds in the open spaces negating to what could bring us back to order.

When you give an expensive toy to a child, it’s not unusual to find that they are more interested in the packaging than the gadget inside. This can be quite depressing, except if they are interested in one part of the packaging — the instruction manual. Then you feel a huge surge of pride: here is a child that takes the time to find out who made this toy, how it works and what all the buttons do.

We live in an age in which we feel that technology should be intuitive, which relegates instruction manuals to literature for the stupid. In truth, most modern instruction manuals aren’t worth reading in any case, since they have turned into catalogues of health and safety advice, and instructions on how to dispose of the product once it breaks.
We aren’t expected to spend much time thinking about who made it and how.

We no longer wander and hang around book stores and libraries looking for something interesting to read, we no longer read for that matter, though we will spend enormous amount of time reading people’s blogs which mostly make no sense (mine too ofcourse) but we wont spend an hour reading wodehouse, buck, burns,bryson,  chekov or anyother great writer out of hundreds of them which we are so lucky we have access to. But like always we dont like the real education, we can see book shops selling competition books like IAS, IIT RAS etc etc be all jam packed but rarely any visitors at the shops with real literacy works..that marks the end of civilization.

No wonder Hindustan was so well lookedup to in the earlier times because we were all so thoughtfull and had a sense of doing what we were doing. Being wise was a way of life, literacy does not make you wise but education do, and mind you, we all today aim to be mere literates rather than beind educated. Education means *the* knowledge , knowledge of the worlds..

We spend an enormous amount of time visiting temples and mosques and other places of worship, and what do we do there? we sit in front of the so called god being present there and we ask him to give us money, fame, a good life blah blah blah.. How do we know that by sitting there only could we talk to god, does he exist there only and no where else..

The Vedas of hindu mythology dont even mention something called god, or for that matter naming gods like we shri krishan, shiva etc, infact what it all talks about is simply an unknown inisivle supreme power, it would be most stupid to give it any kind of name or something. and more over we are not expected to ask for worldly pleasures, we should just meditate and give us our brain some food for thoughts and reason…

There is a lot in the the present world which is utterly stupid and wrong, but you can only be yourself and let the morons pass by..
