A Random Dialogue

I love interesting conversations. Given any day of college, I would gladly skip my meals, sit down with a group of intellectual individuals to have constructive discussions on meaning of life, far away galaxies, purpose of existence, love, poetry, Theory of Relativity and the Higgs-Boson particle rather than attending a bunch of somniferous lectures which add little or no value to my pursuit of true knowledge. A couple of days ago, this beautiful girl walked me through and
we shared this soul-stirring talk:
Let's call her A.
A: You write amazing poems. I really wonder how you manage to put so many thoughts into words!
Me: Thank you very much. But very frankly I have not written any poem so far.
A:(shocked) What do you mean? (pointing to the board on the side wall) You didn't write that poem displayed on the board?
Me:(being modest) No. Although it has my name and copyright on the bottom right corner but to be very honest, I didn't write it.
A:(perplexed) I don't get you. If you didn't write it, then who did?
Me: Ah! I freaking love this question. I believe nobody can 'write' a poem, a prose or anything for that matter. It's the other way around - your poem writes you. It experiences your feelings, your thoughts, your fears, your insecurities, your past, present and future. I know it may sound philosophical but trust me I'm a very practical person!
A:(smiling) I see. What I don't get is how do you pull off such sentences which portray imagery, personification etc so accurately?
Me:(whispering) I'll tell you my little secret: Words - they find me. Even if I'm occupied with day to day work or worldly obligations, they stand by my side always. Unlike people, they don't have hidden & selfish motives. Unconditional love, you see.
A:(looking amazed) How do you think so deeply?
Me: It is the mercy of Supreme Lord. He gives me the power of imagination. I am merely an instrument.
A:(staring at me) Really? People don't believe all that anymore.
Me: People are suffering. They are trapped by mundane longings and sense gratification which will only make them a prisoner in this world full of miseries.
A: So you think there is an absolute source of knowledge?
Me: Yes. But people don't believe in it and have no desire to reach that level. So it's hidden from all. Those who truly seek it, find it. Those who are ignorant need not worry. One may be ignorant about gravity, but that doesn't stop gravity from acting. Laws of nature applies to all, whether you know them or not. So a wise man never plays with nature. He respects her rules and follows them religiously.
To be continued..

Do you hear my song?

I am the songbird within Do you hear my song? My song is the yonder sky, the prestine enchantment. Where I fly fearless and free, beyond the horizon of fancy. Do you ever glimpse such highness? Do you hear my song? My song is the ocean of calm, bottomless and profound. Where supreme silence prevails, away from the play of the waves. Do you swim in such stillness? Do you hear my song? My song is the mountain of bliss, magnanimous and resolute. The pleasant breeze awaits thee, aloft the sultry summer of the valley Do you climb such eminence? Do you hear my song? My song is the poem of love, love that is noble and tender. Where the immense, kind embrace, touches one and all. Do you feel such abundance? Do you hear my song? I am the songbird, so are you, and is not my song yours too? I sing of the eternal songbird, do you hear my song?

Top 1%

Shockingly just 26 people control 50% of entire world's wealth.(Now rumoured to be 14) A lesson which I learnt is that poverty is a disease. We should not have a middle-class mindset. Top 1% of the world controls 99% wealth. Do you think that is an accident? It is no accident, it is designed this way. They understand something, they understand the way world works. They focus on systems and people.  That is why they are the movers and shakers the world has.  The number of billionaires owning as much wealth as half the world’s population fell from 43 in 2017  to 26 in 2018 . In 2016 the number was 61. Among the findings of the report, by The Guardian, were: 💡In the 10 years since the financial crisis, the number of billionaires has nearly doubled. 💡Between 2017 and 2018 a new billionaire was created every two days. 💡The world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon, saw his fortune increase to $112bn. Just 1% of his f...

What makes an entrepreneur great?

“You’ve got to win!” “You’ve got to be the best student!” “You’ve got to be the smartest!” “You’ve got to be the fastest!” That’s the mindset we all grew up with —  Winning! From birth, our parents’ mission is to help us succeed. Our culture expects us to win. Tough criticism attacks us if we don’t win. Tell me, what if you DON’T win? This winning obsession is now your biggest nightmare. This is what holds you back and what you need to overcome to get started in this entrepreneurial journey. Ironically, to win in entrepreneurship, you need to learn to deal with failure. Entrepreneurs learn from failure. So, what should you learn before you become an entrepreneur? To tolerate failure. Not learning to fail will leave you vulnerable to anxiety, make your life miserable and will lead to emotional breakdowns whenever the inevitable failure occurs. Entrepreneurship demands you try new things and make some risky decisions. Not everything will work —  and tha...
