Thoughts on the Rosetta stone..

  A visit to a museum always is a pleasure for the history lover. Sadly this species is rapidly diminishing. The formerly prince of Wales museum, and now the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj MUseum, Mumbai, mad a long dream come true of mine. Jus loved the visit. Not highlighting all the artifacts. Will just write about the most exotic one.. The Rosetta Stone.. had been a dream of mine to see it. Having just read about it in the stories. Especially in the kane chronicles (fiction). by rick riordan. Just blew of my mind. The stone which gave the key to decipher the word meaning of the heiroglyphs. Mr.Champolion did the honors of deciphering a part of it. The Stone might seem a piece of granite for many. But for me it was much more than that. The way it enraptured me. The aura of mystery. The way it taunted all to challenge them to try and decipher the hidden meaning behind those intricate carvings. Just loved it man. Words won't ever describe how i feel at this moment. The stone found during the excavations of Napoleon Bonaparte. Just imagine it must have passed under the gaze of the little corporal. Nothing more to say. Spell bounded

Ending your life?

Ending it up. Taking up your life. Seems the only option left at times. The easiest one. Isn't it? When you feel cornered, all alone. When the smallest of comments tick you. Nobody cares. But is it so? Is it so easy to give up the thing, the gift of life. To leave this abode for some unknown destination. Not thinking clearly is the reason at times. The moments. The moments define your life. Let them pass. The moments if trepidation. It seems hopeless and mindless to live on. It is so easy to give up. The friends who once seemed clos and a support seems distant and hostile. The bleary worls comes rushing in to devour you. But for a moment, take a deep breath. Let it out. The feeling subsides. Try it. Now is he moment. All troubles, however great seem insignificant when you weigh it against the fact that you are alive. This very moment a heart beats in your rib cage. Beating hard and fast. Every whiff of air that goes inside your lungs. Feel it. Feel the process that keeps you alive

Always correct

Image
                  This brain of ours is a myriad wonder. Many a mysteries lie hidden within its expanse. And amidst all its wonders lies a tact of being or seeming to be correct ALWAYS.. As humans we live our lives which is formed by zillions of acts. Little deeds or actions. We actually act on four levels. 1. Thoughts.. 2. Wishes.. 3. Words.. 4. Actions..       And for all of these right or wrong our myriad mind comes up with a justification. A proper justification which sounds perfectly valid within the confines of our brain. Every act of ours seems correct and well thought. Its is pretty difficult to find a person who thinks that's his actions are wrong. Call up the most wanted terrorists and even he will give you perfect reason for his actions . And more often than not you might be convinced. When Albert (of course Einstein) put forth his theory of relativity one can only wonder how perfectly it fits into this gear-work of this cosmos. Our actions might seem weird or u

5 ways to Simplicity

Image
How often have we heard the virtues of Simplicity sung? The way it eases out your life. Despite all of this, it is rarely that we ever reach the hallowed halls of simplification... Here are five ways how we could at least try... 1. Quit time travelling: Ever paid attention to what exactly is running through that ever functioning mind of yours? It is forever on the high horse of travelling through our timeline. Sometimes lingering on the happenings of the past and the rest is when we keep jumping way ahead into the future. Simplicity stems from the ability of merely being in this very moment. When you know that this moment is the only moment which really matters, your turbulent mind settles down. A calm that precedes the first step on your journey towards simplicity. 2. Accept your state: Reality is the ever neglected nemesis of our mind. We add our own filters of prejudice, conceptions and  inhibitions over the real hard truth. We choose to ignore the hard facts and that i
