Past hurts!

Can you be free of thoughts? You may not because otherwise science can create you. You look ahead, you look back, you swim in day’s stream, yet, you don't have the real control over your thoughts because it is so much attached to the things external to you. You know, the person in violet colour dress crossing your eyes in a fraction of seconds could bring you an episode of thoughts about someone else. This binding is the extremity of slavery. Don't expect to be free from it - you will miss the lifefulness of your being.

Past is past? Yes? But it never dies. You may not recall a thing but you can't erase anything. How wonderful (?) it would be if we could decide what to remember and what to not! It is a mystery, those old moments, in the form of thoughts, could resurface at any time. Still strange is the emotional turbulence it brings. At times, thinking of the happiest moments in your life could leave you in agony as if a dagger is piercing every bit of flesh in your body. At times, thinking of sad moments could run a riot inside yet leave a simple smile on your face - a sign of blissfulness - a divine contentment. Such as is the path; that is the elegance of God's arrogance.

'Poo' (Tamil movie) climax is very impressive. You have to watch the full movie (to my taste, it is absolutely boring) to appreciate the wonderfulness of its climax. Painful moments are shown neatly, of course, with a best fitting background song 'Choo Choo Maari'.

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same. If you look ...
