Being Normal is absolutely fine, no denying that this world is full of Normal lovers. You need to be a mad sage super hero to try any other form. Inferno, Hell, Nightmare, Survival whatever the name be, anything beyond Normal is just too much to handle. Yes, there are thousands of "achievers". But should you be one of those Budhas or Einsteins? Not really. Imagine all your neighbours as Einsteins - hell or heaven? In fact, the pleasure of playing the normal level is itself a great challenge. At times or almost always the numbers are just numbers and they fail to touch us. 6+ million kids don't make it to their 5 th birthday every year. So what? Life is just like that. You reach 5 or 10 or 50 ... - no matter how controlled it is, it just ends! One could list hundreds of reasons for it. But eventually the painful suffering of the heart will raise the ultimate question of mankind, "God, Why?" which is the easiest question for Him to leave it un...

You, as a young man, might be starting the conversation, naturally because you have the obvious advantage there. What is your favourite colour? That is a fairly easy question to ask. But then, you do rehearsal for this several hours along with other questions. Is the answer going to matter for the rest of your life? Oh, yes, may be, no! She says something and adds a little more information to indicate that it is a colour between magenta and strawberry which you think is pink. There, right there, you will realize that you should never ask a girl about colours. Girls have the courage to say something as they can do while they themselves know that they cannot do. What is so wonderful about it is, typically it goes in their way either by luck or by their "smartness". As her "resume" doesn't say anything about her computer programming skills, you ask about her Java skill level. 3/10 is what she knows but says it as if it is 7/10. You know, this sort of question is...

Even if it is few strangers talking standing next to you, is it not natural to join the conversation if it is an interesting one? Well, if not active participation at least you will participate passively. Don't you? I mean, more than just listening, you tend to form your views within yourselves without even uttering a word. A kid (2nd standard?) and his father got into the bus at Kamarajapuram bus stop and got seat next to mine and it just started drizzling then. Kid: Why is it raining as soon as we get on the bus? His dad answered. I smiled. Kid: Why are clouds black? We both answered. He answered in simple terms. Kid: When will it stop? We answered. Kid: What is the rain that break the glasses? According to the kid, we both got it wrong and right answer was not revealed :( ... Kid: There was some answer. It is more than a drizzle yet the Velachery railway station ground is full of young cricketers. I too love playing like that. ... Kid: Why so much water...

No matter how stubborn and merciless the life is, our longing to relive the past never ends. We continuously suffer by accepting the changes that life offers. The change comes either coated with full of glory or with the supreme power that we have no option to deny it. Blessed are those who can keep their inner harmony intact despite the sufferings. The best thing we have done so far is getting used to the troubles and go on with, presumably, the positive side of it. We neither can live the past nor can escape from the changes happening. If I start love eating mutton then the "I am vegetarian" tag will automatically get detached from me. I no longer should worry about killing and other dharmas. Instead I can focus on producing cheaper, healthier and tastier mutton. I may end up in finding the artificial mutton which lacks nothing when compared to the original. Though there is a soul in the handwritten letters, the advancement and ease of communication forced us to forget...

Beauty lies. Isn't? You and your friend may not easily agree on whether a thing is beautiful or not, not even in a small space like the company environment where the atmosphere is almost unchanging. Even if you find one to agree, it might not be a permanent choice as you tend drop all the definitions and look at it from a very different perspective when a new thing is placed around. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" might be true forever, in spite of so many scientific inventions to enable us to see better. How startling it is - we never can see a thing as it is! Beauty is not what really a thing is but what your eyes see. The above picture is taken with the smartphone. How beautiful are the lines curving up and down! How elegantly the light spreads from one end to the other! While someone sees it this way, the other person will still say it as beautiful for what it means, ignoring everything else. ...

You are very smart. That is why you will not attempt to connect the things mentioned here. Because you can easily find that neither individually nor collectively they will succeed in convey anything conclusively. Coffee is good: It is not that we love all the discoveries of science. Would you like it if someone proves [Fresh Juice - 2hrs - Coffee+Cigarette - 3hrs - Food - 1hr - Cigarette - 1hr - Alcoholic Beverage] everyday will keep you away from all the health problems? After all, only H 2 O is water and nothing else. How about the health risks of coffee? Why should someone spend time and find out the health hazards of caffeine? How lovely is the aroma of coffee! It just fits so well for any season, any mood. The pleasure of taking a sip of coffee, feeling it at the lips and letting the hotness spread on your whole body is a priceless experience. Why this happiness be lost because of the useless(!) findings? Everyone does their job: I often se...
