Listening to karunesh these days after somebody recommended me. His music has lot of natural, eastern and tribal sounds. His music is mostly a fusion of eastern and western music with quite heavy use of Indian musical instruments and sound. Specially I liked his rendition with flute and other natural musical instruments like Saarangi, Dholak. His songs has elements of folk, cultural and tribal mix.
On spiritual side his music brings me to different zone altogether...when i am listening to him sometime i feel like a free bird wandering down the valleys and up in mountains, flying over the sea and grassland and up in the sky; sometime i feel i am like a nomad wandering from one place to another and experiencing all delights of nature coming my way-the cool breeze, the lush green forest, getting soaked in rain, water flowing down the stream, the sweetness of nectar, the blossoming of flower, the taste of fruit, the early morning sun, the evening sunset, gazing at night sky, counting the stars, trying to connect stars to figure out constellation and the relaxed night sleep. His songs bring me close to mother nature. Such is the beauty of his songs that they make me realize i should recluse myself from this worldly mundane and become a traveler wandering in search of enlightenment.
Here i am..... sitting in my office table and thinking about myself and asking what do i really want in life। What is that i always wanted to do and regret not doing it when i am on my deathbed। When i listen to my inner voice i feel i want to be somewhere and gather as much knowledge as i can and relish this world and all mother nature offerings. Life has so much to offer and see. I want to live as close to nature because i strongly believe that close association with nature makes person a better human. I always think about my purpose and life per se. I retrospect and then introspect to analyze my whole life and gets nostalgic of my childhood and adolescence. Life in total seem quite an experience and i wonder where do those moments go after we die. The whole setup seem so mystifying to me and when i see so many people around i find myself such an insignificant being trying to pull this puzzle of life apart.

I watched avatar yesterday and i liked it. The storyline of movie is slightly different from what we normally see in a typical hollywood flick where in aliens are attacking earth for no reason. But, this movie was different in a way that this times there is a turn of tables and it were the aliens who were at the receiving end. In a way i found this movie a satire on American foreign policies. Its a bravado effort by the director to take this project and make people understand the imperialism propaganda in false pretext of patriotism.
I googled more about movie when i came back home, tried to find more about it. I came across one interesting comment by the James Cameron (avatar's movie director)
"I believe in peace through superior firepower, but on the other hand I abhor the abuse of power and creeping imperialism disguised as patriotism. Some of these things you can’t raise without being called unpatriotic, but I think it’s very patriotic to question a system that needs to be corralled, or it becomes Rome." —James Cameron
Movie displays how humans have become power mongers and are driven totally by capitalistic and political vendetta.
Anyways on other note movie had great cinematography and visual effects.

Many of us are familiar with these famous lines of a song called "time" by Pink Floyd. Isn't it so true. I was going through the same feeling on my birthday which was few weeks ago. I turned 26 and realize its too old an age to be in. Its the prime time of my life and probably after this i would be at the descending part of my life physically if not mentally.
When i was child i wanted to be a young man as soon as possible and wanted to do so many things, I wonder where that child has lost now when i am a full grown young man. But has he really got lost..No he hasn't. Its there somewhere there in my mind and keeps nagging me to look out for things which he always aspired to do. That child wanted to spend some day all alone in some unknown place with unknown people. Child wanted to know about the world, this universe, the whole purpose of life, He wanted to wander on mountains besides the green green grass and lush trees around. He wanted to sleep in mother nature's lap. Life is beautiful indeed. Enjoy every phase of it and do whatever the child in you wants to do because child has the purest and non-manipulative thought.

Loser... a momentary one. But is he really one. All of us identify ourselves as loser at one point of time..don't we? I don't celebrate it but losing gives me a deep sense of feeling, a feeling which is an opportunity for me to explore new avenues of life and potential in me. And hence i derive an iota of pleasure from this feeling as it brings a whole new world of opportunities before me. its exciting, yeah its pretty exciting. Being loser is relative, may be i am a lesser loser than other or may be slightly more. Nobody like to lose and hence initially even I don't go with a mindset of losing it but when i get shock then i feel a strange pain which streams me to a flow of introspection and life as such... "So many people do it so what so unique am i doing or which satiates my never ending quench for knowing the purpose of my life".
Believe me its a good feeling to be loser or its good to lose in a way. It is strange but definitely a positive feeling. Being a winner is so boring and it takes u to that part of life which is very much into this worldly mundane, but losing brings you into the sphere of self-realization and hence you introspect and feel better. Don't feel dejected or sulk over losing. Its only an opportunity for you to see yet another amazing aspect of you and life.

Importance of sports is of immense vital and inimitable in life. Though in India, we often tend to neglect it somehow. We either reckon it as nothing more than a waste of time or make all kind of excuses like time constraints, other commitments etc to do away from it. Life is all about learning all the time and sports is another excellent medium for it. I myself feels evolved in many ways since i got myself involved into sports activity regularly. Life is so much fun with sports. If you look at the philosophical side of it you would find so many unexplored strength of yours. There are immense scope of learning about life from sports. I have been playing regularly since past 2 years and since then sports have become vital part of my life. Its the best entertainment which you can have over the weekend or after office.
Life ... its a beautiful gift of god... really, it surely is a gift and its up to us if we want to enjoy and explore all the shades of it, or we confine ourselves to some narrow mindset and let our self sulk over something or the other.
I always wonder what life is ? What is our purpose of living? What on earth we are to prove? Is there some task or mission which "GOD" sought to fulfill by sending us. Or are we here just to live it. Its really complex and i think we all are like small packets of energy being controlled by some unknown massive source of energy. Its indeed an energy game. In fact its very much similar to philosophy of String Theory. There are numerous theories and all the more confusing. It doesn't matter how many theories are, what matters is what you believe in. Nothing is right or wrong
"Our Imagination is limited" - we can imagine things only which we can sense. May be this world is not the way we percept it. May be we r made to think the way he(but who) wants. May be this world is another planets hell.
