Rationality God and Beyond...

Life would have been so uncomplicated if we were rational. All the conflicts in the world would have never taken place, no fights, and no misunderstandings. As I see the picture of sectarian violence in Punjab for a reason which seems so trifling, I wonder why cant humans just sit around a table and have a discussion . When the human ego is hurt, reason and level-headedness seems to be thrown out of the window. The yearning for revenge takes over. I thought that even I was a very rational person but I soon found out that I did act irrationally .May be humans are designed in such a way. If all of us always trusted being logical no one would have fallen in love. According to me love is the most crazy thing to do. We tend to do things which some times can never be explained, like people giving up there lives for love.
As I grew up my relation with god grew weaker. One main reason was that the questions that I asked about religion were never answered .Questions like how the earth was created, who created man. Science seems to answer all my questions .I have recognized that people want to consider that there exist a power greater than them which can be in charge of thing around us. I consider myself a agnostic but deep within myself there exist a feeling that I wish there was God who I can count on when things take the turn for the worse.
If we do believe in god ,why cant we understand that all religions or religious sects are equal. I fail to understand the religious discrimination and stereotyping .I have heard people say a certain religion is dead set against Indians, that is so not true how can we classify people merely on there religion. I have heard stories how people are discriminated based on caste. Some of them actually rub the backs of new comers of an association to find out that if a thread is around him. People are judged by there caste but not on content of there character. In the recently concluded UP elections I heard a new term "social engineering" a way in which castes based politics is played out. People use religion to polarize section of society to win votes .When will people realize that development issues are much more important than caste.
People have to blend in religion and rationality, take the good from these and move forward in a progressive manner.

Organized chaos

For most of us life is just one organized chaos, though we plan meticulously to the finest detail, it never goes according to plan though we get the desired result. India is one fine example of organized chaos (OC), the worlds largest democracy we have the most corrupt system but life goes on unlike our neighbors we enjoy relative stability .One more example is the traffic in Bangalore we have some of the most awful road and traffic jams but most of us can calculate the time we need to reach our destination, its really captivating. Some from the west comes here he would go totally nutty but we Indian’s know how to handle this chaos in a very organized way.
I have been always fascinated by these management books how people achieve by planning,forecasting and stuff like that but what happens actually is quiet different .Its better to understand who we are what suits us better and use this to our advantage. I had a friend who was the finest example of OC he used to study only the night before the exam and pass ,after getting lot of advice from parents and teachers he started to put in effort from the beginning of the course ,he did this but hi grades hardly improved .So what he learnt was it was better to do a crash course at the end than slog out the whole year. I know I will be getting lot of flak parents reading this blog (heheh)

What do we want from life ???

When I ask myself this question...frankly speaking I really dont know.Making money is that what we want to do or going after ure dreams ...??As I sit in front of the comp day in and day out undestanding a piece of code I ask myself is this want I want to do for rest of myself.At first I thought being a techie is in the in thing to be now I wonder wether it was a rite choice...may be making money first comes as the first priority over your dreams...When I see around me every one is interested in mostly money or are they ???
I dream one day of breaking out of ths system(hopefully) and chase my dreams.May be one day I will become a Photographer and visit different places meet new people and once for all break away from the SYSTEM.......

Another weekend ......

Another weekend comes and as usual I am sitting in front of the TV and the computer...pretty boring..untill I came accross this website called www.paritrana.org it is party formed by five IIT graduates.What impressed me most was that they had left there high paying jobs and joined politics...how much they will succede is left be seen...or will they even last or just fade way seeing the daunting scene.
