Paradigm Shift

No! this is no extraordinary science or revolutionary science. But ofcourse this is change of the basic form. Transfer of energy (if wit permits that is). Thomas Kuhn used the duck-rabbit optical illusion to demonstrate the way in which a paradigm shift could cause one to see the same information in an entirely different way. I shall be using my blog at a new portal to share and post my own experiences, observations and findings. Just a change of Portal and thats all.

Perhaps thats the reason of calling it a paradigm change

An old Grown Tree falls, Perishes….

A chapter of my family is finally over. It was one thirty in the morning that I returned home from office. Ate something and tried to sleep. Could not sleep for sometime, a sense of chaos prevailed all over. Tossed here and there in the bed and gradually sleep came to my eyes. It must be seven in the morning that I got up with the alarm call ringing on my cell phone, made some food for my chota moina babu (my cousin), packed it for her lunch and she left for office.

Must be 8.30 in the morning that my cell started ringing. Could not believe for a while what my ears listened to. My Thamma (grandma) is no more. She complained bouts of uneasiness in her chest, slipped a few spoons of water that my mother and father poured in and breathed her last at my youngest brothers’ (they are twins, gems of our eyes) lap. 7.30 in the morning, Hindu calendar’s Ekadashi day, 22nd of December 2008, and thus passes the oldest living being of my family. What etches the heart more is that we lost our Grandmaa but Father lost his Maa.

Me and my li’l angel (sister studying in MP) are the unfortunate ones, could not see granny on her last moments. She shall be there at home during the funeral, but I shall remain the same unfortunate one, for, I won’t be able to turn up (This is the hefty price that you pay for staying away from home, plus professional commitments and the link ups there after also enchains you sometimes). Could not see her during her last breathe, making up to in the funeral would be just a formality (these are the sops by which I somehow stray my heart).

New Year is ahead, so is Christmas (remarkable for my family because it’s my mother’s birthday). But this New Year would bring in a vacuum that this physical world will never be able to substitute. Every New Year we would say Thamma Happy New Year, to which she would reply Happen-Ear (to pronounce exactly would be Happe Ne Yaar). I still can’t say what exactly Happened to my Ears when I heard that she was no more. Perhaps it just Happens Yaar!

To go by Buddha, it is all the chains of birth and rebirth, and to go by Bhagwad Gita it is all in the perishable nature of things; one who is born must die. Death is the most evident truth. But we as ordinary human beings, do we really go by the philosophy when we loose our beloved ones. Never! Just reminiscent of few lines of What Charvaka (School of thought in Indian Philosophy) says ……..

When life is yours, live it joyfully
None can escape death’s searching eyes
Once this body of yours they burn
Where shall it ever return?

The old grown tree has fallen, and has perished now………. Thamma, O Thamma...

Hits and Misses

Began with fits and stars kind of blogging some two years back. Felt that I too have become a blogger. But by chance the old site lost somewhere in oblivion and the remains of the blog were untracable. Tried many hits and misses. But finally the idea of creating an all new account seemed much better an option

For starting with jerk once over all again, yes I too am a fish on this blogspot.

Gross Happiness Product be the new Mantra

2008 has finally arrived. Many aspirations unearth would come to front. Gross Domestic Product may turn to be Gross Happiness product. This is nothing very hedonistic, but of course greatest amount of pleasure for the greatest number of people is something really desirable. New promises be made and efforts be fully made to fulfil those. The very famous " Ek Brahman ne Kaha hai K Ye Saal Accha hai (A priest has predicted that the year ahead is going to be good). But might it not turn to be Ghalib's " Dil Ko Khush rakhne ko Ghalib ye Khayal Accha hai" (Ghalib it is a very good thought to keep your heart feel happy). Optimism is something been long prevalent in human understanding. So this year, a good heart wishes for the Good of the Good and By the good.
