Whats the job of a dog. Its passing wind and writing a blog.

There is something wrong.
About what you might ask.
Dont ask, just listen to the song.
I say everyone wears a mask.

The essence of life is time. Please lend me a dime.

You cannot say anything with certainty. That is for certain. You cannot know for sure. The earth revolves round the sun, we think. This is a fact. It has been well proven beyond doubt. It is an act of nature. Nobody can deny it in today`s times. Thus we can say it with 99% certainty at least that the earth revolves around the sun. Who knows, later on a more powerful telescope might be developed and we might discover that the sun revolves around the earth after all. Copernicus, Galileo and their sidekicks, cronies and pallies might have been wrong after all. The point is that there is no doubt in nature. Otherwise there is doubt, conflict and confusion over anything that is not natural i.e man-made. Man`s thinking process especially is least reliable. What man builds can infact be durable and reliable, but what man understands or thinks that he does is most often a figment of his imagination and has no basis in reality. What I am writing now, for example, might not have a basis in reality and it is definitely a figment of my imagination. But that is exactly what I was trying to convey. My whole point actually. The point is that there is no point. In anything. Man has fixed notions of reality. And on these fixed notions he exists. His lifetime is built on his belief system. A man, for example, thinks that moneymaking is the main motive of existence. He tries to make loads of money. And then he dies. What can we make out of this. Probably nothing. Still, the thing is that when this man makes money he is satisfied. When he does not make money he is not satisfied. His joy, pleasure, happiness and satisfaction depends mainly on one parameter-money. When he is rich for a considerable period of time he gets bored of being rich. Time does not pass easily just being rich. After all time is an important, if not the most important aspect of life. We exist to pass time. We like doing those things in which time passes easily. When time passes easily we say it is enjoyable. Anyways, going back to the example. For this man, time does not pass easily just being rich, so he devotes time to being richer. Richer in comparison to others. Other factors like status, prestige, wanting to be known as charitable, importance in society and impression comes into the picture. The reason for this might be that in almost all cases satisfaction is temporal and at some point of time greed takes over. Thus a man with decent means wants to be a millionaire. A millionaire wants to be a multimillionaire and the multimillionaire, well you get the drift. The bottomline is that for this man moneymaking was an exciting venture and thus time passed easily and time as I have tried to convey is the basis of life. This man might have   missed some other aspects of life-adventure, travel, reading, music, cinema, T.V, art, spirituality, knowledge, romance or any other activity we can broadly classify as Experience. But because he concentrated on one aspect- money making he will think it was a life well lived and wont regret over missing out any other experience. Because time passed well for him.


But what about others. Others,for whom chasing money and making money seems meaningless. For them the world is rather cruel. Everything seems to run on money and money power. Thus the world is basically a playground for one breed of people-the money makers. Those who pursue other activities to pass time are either frowned upon or laughed upon. But ofcourse exceptions rule the world. Talented artists make a living out of their way of life. The buzzword here is talented. Those who are not, have to join the motley herd of the money chasers or the rat racers in other words. Thus they might live a life of meaninglessness or utter boredom where time passes slowly. Time, I think we know, is the essence of life.

Basically we know very little. A Human neither has the capability nor the capacity to really know. To know deeply. There are no absolutisms in a human`s life. There should only be viewpoints, opinions, judgements,theory, subjective interpretations or analysis. A Human should not bandy the word Fact too easily. Facts arise out of certainty, reliability or through nature. Not through a human`s incomplete understanding nor through man`s figment of imagination. Enough said.

'Figure' out your life, and it will 'work out' with your wife.

Are we aware of reality. Or are we wading through life towards destruction and despair. Normal existence leads to confusion. But sometimes if there is belief in wrong ideas, then people with those ideas are satisfied. Arrogant people are satisfied most of the times. They do not know their own deficiencies. They do not know that they stand nowhere. Thus they are happy most of the time. Also arrogant people always see the positive side of themselves. So when they compare themselves to others they are always better off in their own eyes. The flip side is that  someday the ego goes bust. Then they deflate, then they become  extremely unhappy. As long as they are in the bubble they are OK.

Those who have seen the worst and have survived are also relatively happy. There are always exceptions. Exceptions are the norm anyway. Some people, after seeing the worst are perpetually insecure that the bad times will return. Those who learn the lessons that bad times have to offer will lead a meaningful life. Will caricature them as follows : They are kind, empathetic and avoid conflicts. They see the bigger picture. Small issues and problems in life does not matter to them as it would to others. Enough said.

Mockery of a poetic story.

When we don't have any expectations about ourselves

Thats when we do what we want.

What you do is not what you want

What you want is not what you get.

In spite of this, all we do is not be ourselves

People run after the idea of them being great

Even when they do become'great' they forget themselves.

Their whole life is a cycle of improvement

Or else, the whole life is stagnation.

People never know their own deficiencies

They think they are the best but are never satisfied with their own selves.

There are 6 billion perceptions on earth

Sum total of all perceptions may not lead to truth and reality.

Greed for power, fame, lust and money and even knowledge is ruining the peace of mind of people

Pursuit of self knowledge though, shows that greed can be good. Even in wall street.

Short story-King died, Queen cried and their son ate fish fried.

What is the objective of doing a thing

The basic motive of everything is the need to become a king.

To rule the world is the basic instinct

This same behavior made the dinosaur extinct.

Life itself is a circle of misery

The source of eternal happiness is an ultimate mystery.

Waking up from sleep is a big effort

Mindless work is considered great, whereas dreamers are considered dirt.

Existence on earth is comparable to the position of tenant

Because nothing is permanent.

Johnny did not give a damn about a thing.

When he went to marketing class, he learnt customer was king.

What do I say, SRK is gay.

What is the meaning of our existence?

Just surviving or even thriving does not make sense.

99.9% of us are stuck in a rut.

The rest are happy but live in a hut.

The purpose of existence is not money or fame

Because life is not that easy a game.

Self realisation and self knowledge are pretty deep words

Spirituality is a subject that cannot be pursued by even geeks and nerds.

Philosophy and spirituality is supposed to be a thing for losers.

The meaninglessness of material life is realized by some smokers and boozers.

How did we come into being is a pretty good question

Knowing more about self is a pretty good addiction.

Life is a collection of transactions that affect the ego

What you reap is what you sow.

IQ and EQ are a pretty big deal in the "real world"

Those who are spiritual, to them abuses are hurled.

Suresh Raina hits the ball to the sky

The ball hit a woman and she started to cry.

What`s in a name, no two people are the same.

John was a very good boy

But he was silent, shy and coy.

Sam was a very bad guy

To decent work he never gave a try.

Never a bitter word was uttered from John`s mouth

But he was avoided and ignored. His fortunes were always going south.

Sam was a two faced conman

He smooth talked a lot of people with his partner Jason.

It is said that no two people are the same

Sam and John were the same person but with a different name.

What a classic case of Jekyll and Hyde

This poem is taking you for a ride.
