Durrjanatheertha and Sajjanatheertha - The eponym of Good and Bad....

 Some of the conversations between ‘Durrjanatheertha’ and ‘Sajjanatheertha’ vaguely reminds me of ‘Bohr-Einstein’ conversations. The fundamental epistemological difference between ‘Durrjanatheertha’ and ‘Sajjanatheertha’ makes it even more interesting to hear their own thoughts. Unlike Bohr-Einstein, ‘Durrjanatheertha’ and ‘Sajjanatheertha’ shared contrasting opinions against each other.

‘Durrjanatheertha’, a fictional higher-order priest comprises of practical thinking, takes pragmatic approach, opposes foolish and superstitious beliefs, monotheist and coherent. On the other hand, ‘Sajjanatheertha’ is also a fictionally created higher-order priest comprising of illogical reasoning, previously held beliefs, vaguely intuitive, polytheist, upholds community over humanity, places religion and ritual above science.

‘Durrjanatheertha’ in literal sense means a unholy pilgrim who is wicked at heart, anything negative ranging from Morally bad, unrighteous, unpleasant or annoying. However, in my note, I have portrayed ‘Durrjanatheertha’ as a character with intense pragmatism and critical of practical consequences, someone who is righteous with facts and science. Durrjanatheertha upholds humanity over community and operates his seat of wisdom from well-knows pubs in town.

‘Sajjanatheertha’ on the other hand, is typically a narrow minded individual and a holy pilgrim. Sajjanatheertha believes religion, caste, creed and colour are the core foundation of our social system and it should be respected irrespective of unchristian practices and discrimination among the civil system. Sajjanatheertha operates his seat of wisdom from the holy hermitage (locally known as Mattas) and ashramas.

Students of Durrjanatheertha comprise of rational thinkers and possibly some agnostics who challenge the illogical religious practices and condemn those who are threat to the society in the name of caste, creed and colour. However, students of Sajjanatheertha hail mostly from conservative families with limited or no exposure to upscale civilisation, aggressively defend the preachings of Sajjanatheertha and segregate people by caste, creed and colour. Preachings of Sajjanatheertha is often deemed as nuisance with limited or no scientific accuracy and mostly fictitious pantomimes.

During a highly anticipated debate between Durrjanatheertha and Sajjanatheertha and with some of their high profile disciples, Durrjanatheertha tore apart some of the illogical and unscientific approaches promoted by Sajjanatheertha such as direct relation or consequence of Punya (merit) and Karma (the cumulative consequences of deeds) resulting in more favourable future rebirth and very existence of marketing agents who promote religious practices and encourage segregation within the society by treating disciples of Durrjanatheertha as outcast and thus not having any relationship with them and/ or invite them to their house or not share any food or festivals with them.

Durrjanatheertha once made an iconic speech about the logical shortfalls claimed by Sajjanatheertha disregarding the baseless understanding of borrowing blood during medical needs thus not knowing from whom the blood was drawn, leading to a possibility of someone so-called outcast donating blood to Sajjanatheertha or his clan by saving lives. Sajjanatheertha would never be brave enough to know from whom the blood was drawn thus leading to failure of his own illogical theories.

On the other hand, Sajjanatheertha assembled like-minded conservatives across similar religious and caste lines, prompting them to segregate the society based on upper and lower castes and claim to be superior to others. These conservatives are mostly meek, timid and unable in resorting to any aggressive or assertive opposition. Followers of Sajjanatheertha are often found in Groups and associations of like-minded characters who promote division, aloofness and bring segregation within the society. Most of these people hesitate to openly admit or promote their pressing desire to segregate the society on religious lines. However, when confronted or met in social gathering, they leave a trace of evidence exhibiting their behaviour and or inflicting ethnic cleansing. Ironically, Sajjanatheertha and his followers hail from lower or middle-class families, mostly prevailing from rigid mindset and primitive practices. Ironically, most houses and households of these people are shabby and look like tenement shacks.

Durrjanatheertha often involves people of all caste, creed, colour and promotes his followers to develop collaborative behaviour amongst all classes of society. Durrjanatheertha encourages people with new ideas, scientific approach and modern thinking. Durrjanatheertha and his followers finds solace in International History, music of all genres, culture of all continents, peace and love for all mankind. Durrjanatheertha thinks that all creeds of the society should come together with common interests and create a harmonious landscape.

In our society, we will come across several Durrjanatheerthas and Sajjanatheerthas. In every walk of life, we are tested to make a choice between right or wrong. There are Durrjanatheerthas who will teach us to co-exist with every class of society and broaden our horizon, and then Sajjanatheerthas who will continue to divide and rule. It is us who need to make this world a better place. With each day has come to pass, we multiply the followers of Durrjanatheertha and Sajjanatheertha. With already existing social complexities, we need to make a conscious decision to treat all of us equally, honourably and kindly. Lead, Kindly Light is only the divine guidance, especially when life appears uncertain. It underscores the righteousness and our belief that can illuminate even the darkest paths.

Perpetual Disorder

 As I write this, I would not have imagined where I would be sitting persistently and think of perpetual struggles in our mundane lives. These are ageless thoughts running in our minds day after day. Social fabric and democratic standards have certainly changed our lives quite largely.

These are the times with significant drift in manifestation and propaganda. With our lives getting more complex and faster, we sway our wheels of fortune. With wear our hearts on our sleeves and life goes on. Lost in the fray of everyday.

In the course of our lives, several friends, relatives and neighbours come and go. Just when reality becomes a three way, we continue to seek oblivion and peace. The shadows got it good. With reality being a constant companion, sceneries are well defined.

When we crawl across the thin lines, we see the obvious difference between our wants and reality. Those were the things dubbed in mystery. Ultimately, it would become our passions and charms. As we pass through our blurry lines, we cast away our dreams and hopes. Eventually, our shadows will get us good.

Some of us disappear in heavy glare of fame, money and charms. Rest of us, hold on to our better days. Somehow, these are meaningless pantomimes. We unite in our silent resistance, but fail to make a mark on what we call life. We wash away our bad days without thinking what caused it bad. The length and breath of perpetual disorder has become another routine in our lives.

Drifting aimlessly and ranting endlessly has become a chorus in itself. Somehow, we have not tried hard to rectify our society, social system as a whole. The need to be discreet has lost in itself. A scheming life. Even our endless dreams will eventually fade away. When all our defenses are down, hearts in our mouth, only for us to realise the collateral damage we have done for ourselves and our progenies to come.

Over the course of time, we develop intuitive revulsion towards our society and its social structure. Life as we see it, comprises of both simple and composite expressions. Substance is never an accidental attribute. Our qualities should lead us to change the society we live in. The figment of evil is contrary to good, but two evils are contrary to one another. How is it even possible? The amalgamation of its possibilities is in our thoughts and arguments. Society is none other than us. In the end, we should stand to correct the environment we live in.

The traditional theories that teach, rather directs us to stay obeyed to our existing societal structure tends to continue until our very own existence. In the end, our affirmation and assertion to change the world often comes late. In principle, we are natural, yet equally stupid. We live in the comfort of loving arms.

The society we live will win over us in a dramatic fashion. The persona of realistic ideologies is paradox in itself. In the end, nothing is blameworthy. We continue to exist beyond living.  

Sounds of Insouciance

How would you explain your last acquaintance with someone you know for years has turned into insouciance? A feeling so surreal. Would I have to spend incongruous association in juxtapositions? These are just collocations in contrasting colours.

You could call it abysmal misery or stupidity; you fathom your stance for good. Certain associations, be it friendship, relationship or association; has to pave way for a logical ending. It results in better days. A morbid growth is a slow decay.

Some associations fall astray, some goes naïve and nice. Friendship are hardly and nice to keep by. Perhaps, it takes slavish adherence to convictions and sometimes, it requires sheer understanding of one-another. Many such friendships have come and gone, but what remains are between the doors.

We are living in inextricable times when each one of us put forth our interests over the other. Relationship either falls into strength or follies. For instance, it is almost impossible to find a friendship or association starting from cradle to grave. Such a thing largely remains imaginary.

Throughout your life, you keep meeting people who either interest you, kill you with boredom or make an effort to stay in your life. Rest should be left unsaid. Either you get crazy over one-another or just wonder around from dusk to dawn. Perhaps, there is no such thing called ideal friendship.

Be it a big thing or million things, you do it because you need to do it. Not because you want to do it. Some friendships are hard to come by.
Life has not been fair thus far. I had tumultuous times and also good times on the other hand. 

It does not necessarily call for sounds of insouciance.

Friendships are hard to come by, but when then actually arrive, it is crash landing. When literature becomes the symbol of expression, friendship or its relative association ought to become illusion or dream. 

There is no single definition for friendship. As I have had some good and some sour ones, I can needlessly conclude it as a boomerang effect. I cherish the good ones and repent the wrong ones. It does teach a lesson but you ought to repeat the loop at times. Sun shines and it is bright, moon blossoms and it shines. It cannot be seen any other way. Friendship of all sorts have one thing in common. They are motivated to a personalised opinion. Rest can rest.

How would you define a friendship that lasts forever with uneven odds? I may not be able to explain that in one-go. The ones I cherish are the ones that never taught me a lesson. Similarly, the ones I repent has given me some sort of direction to priorities.  Age blends the whiskey, so as wine. Some older friendships get better by age, but by no means a sure confirmation. Just how you cannot reproduce an effect of an old occurrence, you cannot reproduce an old friendship and a deed.

Life at large is an experiment. All the permutations, combinations and perplexes we have had will still juxtapose into one single frame. Morality by no means is a regret or conclusion. We reason our failures but credit our victory. The examination of facts will not reveal the realm of senses. Prudence and modesty are a discreet silence.

Friendship or its relative association in some way has circumspective actions. It is unobtrusive and baits you. I have had instances that goes back 20 odd years but effects remain totally current. Otherwise, how would you define karma? Actions, reactions and over-reactions has its desired destination and fate. But fallacy has its share of misconception and incorrect reasoning.

With each new day that comes to pass, will the great spirit free us all at last?

Last day of our acquaintance

When science becomes illustration of facts, religion becomes lame. I believe discovery of this fact as mankind’s greatest achievement. It also led to remarkable conclusions. Liberated by this discovery, I had endless debates with MeghaShyam Iyengar.

I first met MeghaShyam Iyengar in a fanatical rage. Given the utter determinism we both possess, I could not give a name to our relationship. So, I called it acquaintance. Fundamentally, we were very different and debated from incredible distances. Interestingly, we started our debates in subdued eloquence. We did not discuss energy, matter or beautiful symmetries. Despite complexity and variety of our debates, it lacked element in substance.

I quoted several aphorisms to affirm the origin of truth. Albeit MeghaShyam Iyengar’s explanations looked like pantomimes, it is quite interesting to hear or consume those debates. Eventually, this led to several endless debates resulting in believing and disbelieving.

Perhaps, the chorus around those debates lacked humbleness to erode the discrepancies, but nevertheless, no short of logical contradictions. Nevertheless, no one doubts that we are confronted with a casual connection whose casual components are in main known to us. We might have penetrated far less deeply into the irregularities obtaining with the realm of debates, but nevertheless, futile.

The vastness of resources available to us seems still insufficient to surpass religious spiritualisation of our understanding of life. Simply put, science with its finite time has provided all answers to religious impulse.

MeghaShyam Iyengar on the other hand was appreciative of mythical values existing from baseless thoughts and narratives. Our conversation on religion, relationships and anthropologic cultures did highlight primitive cultures and practices that exists to this date.

In my view, religions in all forms is an affair. An affair of human relationships coinciding with emotional values, thus fulfilling partially the aesthetic side of life. Religion to many is a necessity. 

Some of my conversations did lead to moral values. Religion has an oversighting effect and impairment of mutual human considerations and negative relativity.

Our debates largely revolved around our beliefs, experiments, experiences, ideologies and sound sentiments leading to utter sincerity to our approach. Religion on the other may owe its origin to fear and compulsion in some sort. My piece of debate did direct to science addressing some fundamental questions concerning relativity and reality. Sometimes, you are an alien walking on the fine line between a pagan and a Christian.

MeghaShyam and I did agree on some aspects. Both religion and science have fundamental problems to address. There essentially lies a void space in our illusions and assumptions. For instance, bohemian lifestyle is hard to imagine in a structured society. A larger population from a structured society would even fail to come to terms that unconventional life does exist.

Saturated philosophy

The relation between materialistic philosophy and nature science is an inner necessary condition of their rationale to exist. The substantiation between these philosophies tends to exist until we establish connection with reality.

Fundamental theories are mostly based on accentuation and significance between present time and philosophical conceptions. The results are mostly coveted from realistic ideas and reality in itself. Among those who conceive philosophical science to be theirs are those holding their religious-mystical interpretation more than anything else. The dogmatisation of this belief is a result of their inner-tide.

The methodical completion of duties versus those believing on natural convictions can be seen as a befitting comparison of ideological beliefs and natural science, in other words, natural philosophy. More often than not, conventionalists believe in absolutism, but it often lacks objective reality. It dates back to ancient mystics, mythic and often stress on ones beliefs. In this area, philosophical trend has largely remains unchanged. The cognitive factor here is noesis (i.e., perception, learning and reasoning). So the philosophical opinions are often misinterpreted to their needs and benefits. On the other hand, natural science paves way to logical constructs and avoids irrational intuitions. Natural science confronts the aesthetically pleasing statements of fundamentalists who are more often auxiliary to promoting agents.

Today, the philosophical desires are driven by beliefs and ones interpretations lying to their favour. Such methodological consequences drive them to their zone of comfort. Dialectical conclusions are barely seen with such ideological orientation. They are widely seen as axioms. In theory, ideological beliefs largely depend on imagination and certain degree of assumptions.

When we inspect the consequence of enlightenment, we also need to circumspect nirvana and sudden realisation of nirvana if at all, you believe it exists. This is nothing but psychoanalytic paradigm. Just like the floor beneath the table adding aesthetical value to the table, philosophy beneath the enlightenment adding flavour to it. Science determines hallucination as the direct result of delusive thoughts, illusory perceptions and largely a mental disorder. Rather perturbed. People claim philosophical solutions to hallucinations and that could be true if the solution relates to fundamental science.

Materialist philosophy will not, rather cannot address flustered conditions. The dialect of materialism is only subjected to matter, with little interest in ethical or spiritual matters. Well, it is true in most cases. After all, dialectical materialism concerns with practical matters and is not beyond the fundamental science.

Fundamental Science or natural Science is quite distinctly separate from materialistic philosophy. Science of Science will permeate the whole spirit of it. On the surface, philosophy is neither materialism nor idealism. Philosophical doctrine, or school of thought should base rational investigation on questions with ethics. Philosophy is often authoritative than intellectual reasoning. We often hear subjective idealism and this is where masses are headed to. Being subjective is saturation on its whole. So philosophical axioms are more often morbid than not.

The free formation of scientific thoughts signifies the isolation of objective reality. So the transition of consciousness from sensory forms prevents us from accepting saturated philosophies and axioms. On the other hand, imaginary theses provides more adduction to yet another argument. Therefore, philosophical views are antipodes to subjective reality.  

For whom the God that failed

There are reasons for you to laugh and there are reasons for you to breathe a sigh. There is never an ideal moment so take hold of chance. Opportunities only knock at heaven’s door and you better be sure of it.

There are Gods, devotees, intermittent players and then we have atheists. Above all, we have almighty who gets the score rolling. Start throwing stones and you will surely pile enough.

As a famous saying goes; God gives and forgives, man takes and forgets. The almighty sets the precedence and God calls the shots. Devotees are executers and sometimes (only) fill the mere numbers. We need to know that we have dynamic Gods who have messengers who govern the entire system. Just as large and bureaucratic organisations.

For a moment, let us think of this system as the one that exists in the corporations. We have executives, leaders, followers and then oppressors. Corporations call them Bad and Good Apples. A similar system exists in the society.

Almighty nominates God who calls the shots and destroy opponents. In corporations, leaders nominates God (whom we call leader) who picks up favourable devotees and messengers to form a team. Atheists and intermittent players exist only to add spice to the team and/or will execute tougher decisions made by the God in the name of risk.

Devotees often gets the best share of everything. Devotees sometimes act as messenger to God resulting in conflicts with actual messengers. God settles scores with both of them. God lays down a drawing to all his devotees and messengers to keep the atheists in check. Often times, these devotees and messengers cook up imaginary stories to please God. God then bestows them with awards and recognition. In all of these, atheists and intermittent players take the beating and often fall as puppets to the lead players. Devotees and messengers are considered Good Apples whilst atheists and intermittent players take the role of the Bad. So to speak, imagination has no boundary.

Large organisations or corporations often present the world with these surprises. They are no longer taken by surprise and are accepted as postulates. Similar line of practise exists in the civilian society.

Let me take an example of a large organisation which once consisted of a loathsome God, devotees, messengers and atheists. This was called a team with justified balance of each fist-fighting each other for survival. Not so surprisingly, God called the shots, devotees and messengers were bestowed and atheist left the organisation fiercely burnt and cheated. There came a day when devotees looked after their needs and moved away. Messengers become less and less effective and their messages no longer brought surprise or entertainment. Messengers were thus asked to leave and thanked for their dedicated services.

Then came a day that everyone was waiting. God left his temple of the doom in an unceremonious manner. Someone who could smell the symptom of the universe kicked the bucket and God looked impassively. By the end of time, God had lost all his mettle and defiance. People around the world watched God’s exit with jubilance. There was sense of celebration as God was cornered by the most pressing fashion. God lived his glory and society learnt the lesson the hard way. God will no longer pose that threat he once posed. It was a moment of intense satisfaction to see God exit in a nimble fashion who once left the ultimate taste of bitterness.

Some devotees and messengers also turned out to play safe or atheists came out to celebrate this moment. There was no end to it.

 God started his dominant administration years ago. With the blessing of almighty, God recruited devotees and messengers over the years. Some atheists were trapped from other temples and some were forcibly dragged in with purpose. Months passed and God’s team was in full attendance. The team had a fairly balanced mixture of devotees, messengers, atheists and intermittent players. God started his authoritarian and totalitarian rule over his people which soon turned out to be a temple of the doom. Some even called it as temple for the damned.

God never spared anyone. Even the God of other faith was not spared. God ridiculed everyone who came in his way. There was nothing stopping God from his atrocities which soon turned into pit of hell. God’s ruling thus became a fascist model with pseudo roles created to achieve his autocracy. 

Even other super-powers looked impassive at one moment. Just like an old saying, my enemy’s enemy is my best friend; all his rivals teamed up to get rid of the God. Almighty saved the day for God and his ruling was temporarily held back to reflect the new way of thinking.

God returned to his past glory following the utter defeat of atheists and similar minds. Sense of peace was shattered within his team, several atheists and intermittent players were tortured and forced to leave the temple. Those who resisted were subjected to intense wanton infliction who were either forced to leave or accept defeat. God then declared his temple as the temple of the king. Just like the state of Hiroshima in WW-II; the after-effects remained even to this date, several atheists still feel the bad taste even to this date.

Over the years, God’s ruling reached the pinnacle of incompetence. Several others noted the incompetency of his beloved devotees and messengers. Outsiders made efforts to slay them off the temple thus resulting in de-strengthening God’s powers. Some turned to the light of day. Some did not even reached that far. All the competent atheists left his temple expecting the remaining thugs to be damned.

Years passed and no solution was found. In the aftermath of outside advocacy, certain people in the temple were targeted. Even the bigwigs could not break the armour of God. Messengers kept smelling the bad spirit and gave much-needed clues to God to slay the people off. Just as a saying goes; every damn thing has to end one day; God lost some of his key players to the open-universe and in Blue sky.

The bygone effect was long felt and his atheists were far from his vicious intentions. Several devotees mended their ways for better lives. One of his messenger who was initially tortured out of suspicion later was promoted to a devotee and then awarded him with a ‘warpig’ label. This warpig later turned to be a brutal force of madness. This warpig kept his own devotees who later left his path as they were unable to bear his torture.

There came a time when almighty, God and warpig left to run their forceless kingdom. It was about time when God was made defenseless and stripped off with all his powers. Warpig was silently watching all of this in the background hoping to claim the diadem if comes a day when God is slayed off. Warpig had developed a secret route to almighty when God had other distractions. At times, warpig turned smarter than God and God had to use his brute force to stop his march.

The day finally came which everyone was so desperately waiting for. To add more spice to the story, some former atheists were even willing to behead God if found outside the temple. Fortunately or unfortunately, it did not happen. Some unexpected forces kicked God out of his temple of the doom.

God was impassive and was kicked out in an unceremonious manner. The news reached all his former-opponents and atheists in lightning pace. Some took to streets to celebrate this much-anticipated moment. It was glory justified for some and rest took it with pinch of salt.

It also took some devotees by shock and equally surprise. Even though his devotees did not actively come out in public to express their view, it was noted that they took the news with caution.

Few atheists called one-another and wished each-other. All the bad things once made as mandate came to an end. There is no structure of almighty, God, devotees, messengers and atheists that exists in his former guise today. But this is still an active practise in large organisations, corporations and the typical societal structures.

In the meantime, warpig approached the almighty to claim the crown. Whilst some have already left the playground, others are still watching how games turned out in its final stages. The flier even said of God reaching to his lost souls for solace. Who knows! He might have got what he wanted.

The madness is certainly over.

While people took to task actively to destroy the final remains of his temple of doom, his former devotees and messengers might be heading towards the grave for last rites.

I hope to have given a reasonable end to this fictitious yet comforting tale around the daily state of affairs surrounding such maniacs in day-to-day world.

As the saying goes; those who won are lost and lost are perished, God is now gone and blown with the wind. 

Gowramma

What strikes your mind when you hear Gowramma from far behind? Someone who is naïve and primitive? Someone who cannot catch up with social demands? Someone who is lacks worldly knowledge and shrewdness? Well! It could be cumulus of all or none of these.

The very perception is steadily escalating sense of premonition. Whilst name seldom heeds to attentivenesses, we grow under the shadow or assumption or what is perceived under favourable notes.

I was intrigued to think and write on the matter when I visited a restaurant last evening and observed a family with strange behaviour. Being definitely ordinary is usual but what spills out is slightly odd or weird. The family consisted of two couples, kids and an old man who could probably be the father or head of the family. The father or the old man looked mostly naïve and remained unaffected by the hissing noise of the children and boos expressed by his daughter-in-laws. The two look-alike sons remained silent throughout their stay at the restaurant and never got a chance to speak, or remained quiet for good.

I was often distracted by the Germany-Italy football match on the large screen but I tried not to fall asleep by not looking at this family. The wives or daughter-in-laws kept scrolling through the menu, commenting on the dishes whilst the waiter continued to wait.

One of the daughter-in-law made the bold move by asking the waiter to explain the ingredients of a dish, justify the pricing and so on. The entire act looked like a supernatural act and the weird sister-in-laws thoroughly deserved a diadem for it.

On the contrary of it all, the uncanny sister-in-laws looked very primitive and sounded utterly foolhardy. I took my eyes of the football game to watch the proceeding on this family. One of the weird sister-in-laws finally ordered Koithio (or mie goring) with much hesitation and when the dish arrived, I could sense her shabbier approach in serving. She stabbed the fork to the Omelet and the beaten egg was just about to be dropped off the bowl.

Conditionally, this made think of my younger days when these girls grow up in conservative families with restrictive surroundings. To makes things worse, the bridegrooms these families get too arrive from similar background thus making them master of puppets. Beyond engineering, medicine, sound bank-balance, two legs, hands, eyes et.al, father of the bride is mostly fine.

The circus starts when these newly-wed couples travel to their most desired destination, United States. Even their short visit across the Pacific makes them perfectly placed jokers in the circus. They start planning much ahead of time such that their kids grow into age and they forget how they lived in their yesteryear. Such couple change their dressing, food habits and approach to life so differently that someone like Dwight Eisenhower and the likes would think they are actually native Americans. 

Their accent suddenly changes and I wonder if this makes William Shakespeare forget his own.

The stupidity is yet to come. Their first visit back home completes the circus. Everything back home is compared to their newly adapted township. Cleanliness becomes paramount all of a sudden. Every act is questioned for rationale and so on and forth.

Adding more agony to the train of consequences, they go on endlessly appreciating their newly adapted township and market their appeal. Initially, friends and foes ignore the blast as excitement before someone recommends them to visit the nearest mental asylum. Perhaps, this does not change them either.

The character ‘Gowramma’ makes more sense introducing here at this point. This also added more juice to the goulash. Once the Gowramma is now a United States return and now knows it all. The autonomous structure of our society sadly upholds such Gowrammas effectively making a sad system.

Mother Earth has been bearing such nuisance for a long time and adding more vacant dreams to all of us. Years roll by, times do change and truth around us are harder in disguise as we face tomorrow. These Gowrammas are increasingly becoming common as I continue to wonder how a trip to the town across the Pacific can change one’s life so much.

I continue to wonder anyway.

Unsurmountable Imagination

For those who believe imagination has no age understands the world as a canvas to the imagination. Reality often leaves a lot to the imagination. Just like our doyens say; imagination and fiction makes up more than quarter of our lives. I have a vivid imagination that reality of the people is of those who lack imagination. Will imagination and dream ever be the same? Probably not. Fantasy mirrors desire and imagination reshapes it. We grow by exercise and contrary to that is the common belief. Surely, power of imagination makes it infinite and unsurmountable.

How subtle is the difference between dream, imagination and assumption? We imagine two notes to synchronise. Does it happen? In reality, it overlaps. In an overture, we play the second note when the first one is half done. We imagine it. Imagination is a virtual state of mind whereas dream creates mental images and emotions ideally occurring during sleep. Assumption is the hypothesis often taken for granted. However vivid or lucid your dream is, it often has the grotesque side of it.

Once again, the series of mental images or emotions could be the resultant of imaginative thoughts. Did you get how imagination and dream could be? Yes, it is. Albeit distinctive from its own nature, both imagination and dream are quite lucid. Yet they generate lifelike images circling you back to where you were before. It could quite be your mental representation of thoughts or confusion of impressions.

To a certain nature, impressions get along quite well with imagination. Both deal with vague ideas in which confidence is placed. The resultant could be an outward appearance or could be a favourable mental image.

When you look at subtle difference between illusion and fallacy, illusions deals with erroneous mental representation whilst fallacy deals with misconception and incorrect reasoning. They are all different in nature. Do we represent them correctly when we connote them in separate scenarios? Maybe not. Finer distinctions are often misread.

When imagination is unrestricted or unsurmountable, it becomes fantasy. When your optimism and imagination is more, you are often less biased. This objective consideration helps in being fair and prevents preconception. Often times, we use our freewill and discretion to form opinions. Ideally, this should not be the case. Our opinions should be undistorted by emotion or personal bias.

There was this time when I started to think how imagination and beliefs have overlaid our lives. Do we sense it? Are they the realm of sense or occult? I do not know. Beliefs are the psychological result of perception, learning and reasoning. Not necessarily true in all sense. Religion for instance deals with belief of supernatural power that control human destiny. Religion believes in divine power whilst science believes on experiments and observation. A lot of illogical imagination or perception may occur without the intervention of science. Religion and morality are not one and the same. Morality is based on ideas of right and wrong, good and evil. Religion cannot ascertain faith without ethics thus giving room for imagination and perception.

In moral philosophy, we have moral values and rules. These rules in principle are regarded as normative but in my opinion, they are conventional. In the end, we live in the world of fantasy. We live in the world of deceit. We dissimulate our identity in many cases and live in disguise.

We camouflage, conceal, imagine, believe and misrepresent ourselves with an outward semblance. Ultimately, we all live in our own mental representation and our egocentric behaviour does not permit our perceptions to fall through. We call this mother wit. Be it or not.

Culture or state of perfection?

We are often intrigued with question whether culture plays any role in enhancing our knowledge in art and manners or is it an everyday refinement? I do not know yet.

We keep hearing from all sides that each one of us possess rich culture and therefore deserve to have higher values shared by the society. Some people are engaged in social groups that are claimed to have rich taste in history, art and manners will therefore allow them to mingle with those selected sects. Is that what we call culture? I do not know yet, but I will soon find out.

Who enriches patience and tolerance? Or is culture reserved to those who acquire superior intellectual or social or economic status? Or does culture restricts you to certain religion, caste and embodiment? Does culture takes shape on concrete representation of benevolent behaviour? Or is benevolence being confused with sympathy, generosity and freeheartedness? Will any of this piece represent culture? In fairness, none of these.

Largely, cultural practices are still confined to religious sacraments, faith in supernatural power and unseen morality. This is truly the state of mind amongst masses. Having said that, the intensity of belief differs from social upbringing. In my view, culture is an ornamental sovereignty. Masses believe it, a smaller bunch question it and rest cares less.

A girl grown in my neighourhood thinks quite differently. Every word spoken by her parents is a conformance to reality irrespective of what you see, feel or perceive. The atmosphere in which she is growing makes her think that way. For her; caste, religion and belief plays utmost role in her life. She is reluctant in accepting what is proven by science or confirms to principles or methods used in science. This sort of adherence to culture, caste and religion forbids someone from experimenting with truth or reality. Culture is vaguely and distinctly dissimilar to what is perceived. In the name of culture, some use it to develop state of perfection, some use it to develop social groups. This girl seeks blessing from God to come out good in examination instead of working hard. The culture in itself is torn into pieces.

The moral value in which culture operates is quite high. There are symbolic connotations to every culture which is presiding in various social groups. You are often booed by such social groups when you deflect from such thoughts or practice. I call this exodus.

Most of these social groups or cultural groups are marred by those with obvious intentions. People with different traits often fail in such gathering. To certain extent, or in certain sect or culture, money ciphers your position, belief and knowledge to some degree.

Obeisance is not just reverence but also a sign of submission or shame. These are not just benevolent boons but also capitulation. These are often mistaken to resplendence or glory. People rehearse to be near-perfect and stay on top of such social groups. There is no state of perfection to culture or socialization. Culture in other words are for those people with similar mindset in certain social groups or practise what seems perfect.

Race to perfection has no finish line.

Nuclear families in the modern society

Philosophy often leads to rational investigation of questions about its existence, knowledge and ethics. I do not mean philosophy can go beyond personal belief or the compound of doctrines. What we perceive, wish to hear or feel mostly becomes our philosophy. These type of practices need not necessarily be constituted to old school of thought. One such philosophies developed in the modern times are nuclear families.

It is not very surprising to see conjugal families paving way to nuclear families with the emergence of industrialisation and capitalism. Some adrift without direction and rest are totally aimless. Larger families have undergone substantial social reform so to speak that they no longer exist. I have seen people sighting difference in opinions and claim they require higher vetoing power in order to sustain this paradigm shift. Extended and larger families no longer exists in its true sense.

Some say that they have moved on from the traditional practices sighting pragmatism. I am somewhat convinced I have moved away from typical family traditions for the sake of convenience, luxury or lavishness. This is often sighted as sumptuousness. I quite agree to it.

As we drift into practical matters, I started questioning the very existence of tradition and rationale behind it. The fundamental reasons or logic behind these traditions are hard to explain. Just how we relate lucrativeness to sizeable profits, moneymaking and remuneration; we tend to cripple traditions due to absence of social ideas or system.

During my formative years, I hung onto a coniferous tree just because my forefathers planted it. Neither I was pragmatic nor had to courage to question by forefathers about the practice that I was asked to follow. Something does not feel quite right. As I grew older, I grew into oblivion. It is difficult to explain your compeers about your social patterns, likes and dislikes. You are often disregarded or forgotten. Albeit it means very little in this context, you still linger to find out what is happening on the other side of the divide. This curiosity often kills the cat.

Whilst we hover around, leave slowly and hesitantly; someone else is making unfavourable criticism or find faults of your shortcomings. Traditionists are sometimes stubbornly conservative and narrow-minded. Being prudent does not mean you circumspect the situation with discreet. This is precisely what happens to those who swim against the tide. Then you moan in despair and dismay. Somewhere you reach a state in which all hopes are lost or assume they are absent.

I am often confronted by traditionists, often facing hostile opposition for the same reason and I think otherwise on their practices. The most hilarious thing is when they drag science into it and fail to exhibit the relation between the two. Science examines the questions posed by scientific theories and hypotheses whereas tradition is an inherited pattern adhering to traditional views. I see no science in it unless science proves it otherwise.

You have been living here so long undisturbed, dream of the time when you were free and undisturbed and suddenly you are encompassed into these traditional practices. You no longer pick those pieces, put they away. Several nuclear families today are formed as an oppression to these traditional views and illogical relations to the practical matter. With the retrospection on how families lived, none of them went any further to question the society in which they lived. For sure, this is an ordeal of the past if not trial by fire.

These are hell's perpetual fires for the years and decades to come. I am more profoundly concerned about the changes we live in. Lot of modern day nuclear families are more dynamic, affluent and well planned. However, this does not mean they are sound in their judgements. The older generation continue to claim they are the realm of the occult but that may not be the case in all true sense. If you look at the sizeable combination of both conjugal and nuclear families, there is an element of truth on both sides. Practical living is often mistaken to being correct or appropriate. You need to ratify in order to ascertain the truth or the fact behind it. The tales are twisted to the need of the individual and thus nothing ascertains the practical examination of the fact.

We all agree as far as we can see. It is just the way of the world. Nothing comes out as surprise than blatant ignorance. The formation of nuclear families not just lies with difference in opinion or compatibility. It is far beyond driven. In some cases, they are strong and a sudden outburst. Someone who can make clear distinctions and find the subtle difference between one another will know for sure that system has failed.

In the years to come, there will be more nuclear families rising from East to West, North to South and beyond the horizons. People will be grossly blasphemous towards what is held to be sacred, religious and what is cited as traditional boundaries. This in turn becomes exodus and the new pattern may follow.

With the course of every sunrise and sunset, there arises a person questioning the rationale behind the traditions, religions and practices we followed. Life goes on!

Convulsion of thoughts

The very idea of putting convulsion of thoughts is not to slip by with my ideas and opinions. These are by far and large practical to what we undergo in my daily lives. Subjectiveness is often opposed to objectiveness. These thoughts are culmination of both objective and subjective and I do not intend to dwell into the appropriateness of the subject any longer.

Grass is Greener on the other side – A war broke years ago and each side of the divide feels the other better. None went any further thinking we are ought to fight and die anyway. If the other side have better equipment, you are bound to die sooner rather than later. Sometimes, your position is well equipped with certainly and intention

Inspiration – Today, we have more people to inspire than to follow or perform. The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are. Those who ought to like you for whatever you are will continue to do so. There is no paradigm of perfection or concise. We life by our intuitions and that is the most appropriate thing to do

Motivation – I do not see this being very different from Inspiration. A lot of people have taken to motivate/ inspire people without fully or not knowing the very intend of life. It is so difficult to explain someone what your goals are why you wish to do it differently. When someone cannot motivate oneself, how do you expect such a genius to motivate you? The very rationale of life is to be what you are and be proud to do right things at the right time

Compare – Another form of frustration. The feeling that accompanies an experience of being thwarted in attaining your goals. Someone who does not know your journey compares you to those who are completely different to you and bogs your down. Your intellectual ability is not a direct proportion on number of inventions or doing things differently. A good smelling fruit need not be tasty. You have your goals, ambitions and desire. Make your own road

Education versus knowledge – Dwelling on this matter makes me more objective and nothing else. To quote Albert Einstein in this regard, I learnt that knowledge is more important than education. Not necessarily vice versa. This may not apply to government retired people, corporate people and few intellects around the world

Analogy – Not very different from assumptions. We do not see what we believe and believe what we do not see. Intuitions, perceptions, interpretations, assumptions and guess work are probably the reason for all of these. When you set your mind, you will neither change, nor wish to let go your ego. Sometimes, you know a bit and assume the rest. This completes the analogy

Effectiveness – The most effective work invented in twentieth century. Very physiological in nature. No one knows what it actually means and intends to remove abrasiveness in your sentence. Expecting or concluding someone’s effectiveness is only your perceptions, not the real matter. At that time, our opinions matter the most and acts are prelude to the ongoing assassination

Sane – Often refers to mental health. Those who are sane never show up and those who do are never sane. You cannot do the same thing again and again and expect different results. Sound judgments are always reasonable. Philosophy starts only after logic ends, not the otherwise

Manners – Your social deportment does not represent your true stature. Getting off the road, playing in the slush and few mischievous activities does not make you mannerless. Those who are in five-piece-suit always gets buried in their best suit. If all of these is for money, a race driver earns more than a corporate executive, Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates were dropouts and ended up as billionaires. All of these folks did what they liked. There is no definition to manners

Law of the land - You need not act as a roman in Rome if you paying a short visit. I do not think any of us intend to spend all of lives in the office and so to adjust our attitude, character and habits. A good life is important, you define it

Marked by rarity and stupid intelligence

I have been blogging for over half a decade now and I have not found a topic that is close to my heart. But I could somehow convince my heart to choose another subject and move on. I may not find what I am looking for or something of that sort but that will not leave me in disarray. The ordeal, I go by primitive method of determining absolute guilt or dissatisfaction. A severe or trying experience

In most cases, or by unanimity; consensus reflects differences in theoretical positions or those rights and obligations are based on an unstated consensus. A time for letting go. Bring prudent or excessively concerned sometimes leaves you in jittery and edgy. A place often reserved for girlfriends and parents. We often write them in our yearbooks

We continue to assume, world is falling on our shoulders and put ourselves in overstrung positions. A character often culpable of sheer negligence and over prudence. Having precise or logical relevance to the matter at hand is always pertinent. Striking appropriateness and pertinence leaves you evocative verbal images. A resonance you yonder for years. I call this morbid curiosity

During my interactions with a friend of mine, I often hear and experience his garbled and distorted ideas. I somehow get warped to his thoughts. But back when I realise, I know his thoughts are perverted and lacks general conscious awareness. The only difference between good and bad sense is practical judgment. Something, not easily sold or available in market

Someone who is false or overly optimistic is hard to change. This is erroneous mental representation and illusory ideas are hard to examine even by naïve observers. Something very conjuring

Some of those conversations are cabalistic and cryptic. There is a meaning hidden somewhere I perhaps. Something you fail to comprehend or encompass with your thoughts. Our anticipation often ends in dread or anxiety. I could never find out the reason. Just hold on. Life goes on

The regression or the abnormal state of representation often shows us up as infantile. We are very abysmal you see! We are unsurmountable. We have stupid intelligence to prove our half-certified wits and mark them with rarity. What else, we mark them with grandeur and proclaim its worth

Probably sanity is what remains in the end. After reading so many authors over the years, I could somehow relate somewhere to their mental representation of their symbolic connotation. Few writers stand out for me regardless of their expertise in the matter. Fiction, motivation and self-help writers always looked less attractive than ever. It also meant I stayed away from people writing business stories and their success stories. For once, we do not realise each other’s journey is different. How can you teach a baby, the nuclear physics?

The world never fell on your shoulders. Neither will it anytime. Again, time for letting it go. Learn to believe in. Life goes on

The time elapsed often talks of the past times. This is cognitive psychology. It connects, emphasises and deals with internal memory. Something, I relish when I have no work or less work. I call it scenes from the memory. Every episode is a story of its own

During my formative years, we learn and perceive what was taught rather than what was correct. Based on our perceptions, we build reasons to convince ourselves. This is painful than ever. We thereby deceive ourselves to the highest degree. Who are we here to prove? Who are we here to convince? What are we here to do? Are we base lining our reasoning based on analytical inferences? This system of reasoning is often dealt with inferior thought process

It took me half my life to understand the difference between education and knowledge. Something, Dr. Einstein was well versed and subjective. Time after time, we continue to realise the relative aspect of various instances that have surpassed the bygone era. The memory of sorrow is often long sighted than the momentary lapse of reason. Each one of us only wish to hear, speak and feel what looks/ feels good to us. Thus, we limit our vision, imagination, foresightedness and above all; ambition

Every individual thinks he can win a coherent argument, aesthetically consistent and expressing oneself in the most lucid way possible. When opinions goes unyielding, the burrs start to look obvious. Even the subtle differences become fine distinctions. But remember! There is nothing right or wrong. Being judgmental is not always faultfinding based on personal opinions. They can be the result of unprecedented criticism or just calling attention to faults. It is the way we look at it

There is no perfect conformity to fact or truth. Most of the decision, opinions, impressions, feelings and notions are developed based on vague idea of some sort of confidence. An odd and fanciful idea perhaps

Someone who is devoid of morale is often discontented with formal change. This quench of inductive behaviour is often dangerous and farce. It is grotesque and scary at times. We do not know what to call it. We thereby go 

by assumptions

We would have heard the stories of kings and queens, rulers and dictators, fascists and so on. Have you ever thought what fascinated you and why?  Probably, nothing came closer to grab your attention. You know why? Nothing ever meant to you as long as it happened to you. The fact is closer to worse. History is always repeated when you are condemned to do it, to remember it

Rulers, presidents, dictators, kings, queens and fascists were made over a period of time. Rome was not built in a day. There will be ground-breaking rationale behind every occurrence. This may be true to whose you keep close to your heart as well. Inference or discrimination are more-or-less the same capacity for rational thought. They arrive to a same sort of phenomenon

There is nothing called distinguishing good from evil. If you remember, these are rousing your emotions. A single jolt to disturb your composure and abrupt your spasmodic movement is enough to reshuffle your thoughts. This will suffice me to believe we are made of single line memories. We often/ only take what sounds good to our ears and nothing beyond. Nothing beyond the astral skies

Betrayal

As I sit alone thinking of those summer afternoons, I become cognitive. I know for sure those uncertain days would not return. All of us tend to move on in different directions as we come to know that few of us may not see each other. Those early days of high demanding jobs started to disappear. Many of us were none of us. We were strangers to each other yet close. I quite do not know the reason.

We got close quite rapidly and with a touch of a button, all of us came off all at once. We started to jeopardise our own visions. We met there by the cut. Few folks never returned and few did not understand why they were there for.

At a point in time, there were several of us and all of us were unemployed. The notion of it all makes me laugh today. My personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty started to fade away when we all started to overlook reality. There was a period where we met there by the cut and spent most of the day talking about comical things. Sometimes, long walks did suffice. What we normally discussed was the degree of foolishness to which we all got accustomed. This could be hilarious or convulsive laughter. I do not know.

We were all friends from the previous fierce but never got a chance to get close to one another. Then came a time when we all jumped into the same pool and got to know it was the wrong one. We embraced into each other’s sphere and started to understand that this is no fun.

Typically, most Indian families with middle-class background have varied levels of financial commitments which is hard to wade off. Sometimes, this comes as a curse and sometimes as prudence. All said, none of us were really ready to pound into the call of duty and be called as warriors. There was still some time left to play for ourselves. There was this obvious sense of laziness in each one of us and to understand what is being demanded out of us.

We spotted a new place to meet up every morning to discuss the course of action for the rest of the day. There was so much fun as we led an illusionary life. Some of us needed to have breakfast at home and then meet others by the cut. We mostly never understood the true essence in all of it.

There was a vague belief that we could find what we wanted albeit failing to understand what we wanted. There was no sense of urgency. There was no insistent necessity to understand the world around us. The entire day was to spend thoughtlessly. I conceive to the fact that this was no joke. The only way to be sensible and subtle was to think prudently. We never imagined to cried out loud.

There was this mammoth idea to plot an idea to kill all ideas. Eventually, it failed and we laughed a sigh. Binoth Dinnanath was a prominent and a rich member of our group. He was politically supported by Malcombe Barbarine. MeghaShyam Iyengar and I lived as close aids thus leaving Könda Mahoshay and Nicha Praveena. Binoth Dinnanath was mostly arrogant and rude. His lacking civility or good manners often resulted in rude intrusions but it was equally and unconditionally supported by Malcombe Barbarine. There were obvious intensions to do that. On the other hand, Könda Mahoshay started making noise every now and then created ruffle within the group. As it is, the group was not all that fine. Nicha Praveena had narrow and solitary interests. He would never let-go an opportunity that knocks his door or when others are failing. Most of us were very careful with Nicha Praveena as we often landed in uncertainty dealing with him.

There were vested interests in all of us but we managed to move along well as there was no better choice. Even though we met by the crossway every day, we were obvious and meaning to ensure our hay bakes out. At a time when finding a job was very important and equally difficult, we were closely inclined to allure and most importantly the glamour. The joint forces diverted us from what we realised in the early days.

The relevance to responsibility is in its pertinence. We hugely depended on little savings we did with our previous jobs and needless to say that it would dry up fast. Our day started with a cup of Coffee at a Coffee shop followed by few cigarettes. We would then move to a different part of the town wandering to collect more junkies. Binoth Dinnanath was a master of striking deals but mostly never fulfilled those that were in hand. Malcombe Barbarine on the other hand was a total reflection of Binoth Dinnanath. Both never really took off from what was assured or seen. MeghaShyam Iyengar was a combination of hard and smart worker. He was good at evading things that were off his interest. MeghaShyam Iyengar was good at grasping and was good at work. He mostly confined to his regular conservative social life that forbids him from extravagant lifestyle. I was however close to MeghaShyam Iyengar and the chemistry suited at one time. This separated MeghaShyam Iyengar and I with Binoth Dinnanath and Malcombe Barbarine as the differences crept up and mostly failed to sort them out. On the other hand, Könda Mahoshay was spurious and was totally unaware of the world around him. He was a thorough pessimist. He continues to doubt everyone until he finds a convincing answer mostly in his vested interest. Könda Mahoshay added flavor to our problems just by being a part of it. Whilst we speculate and presume Nicha Praveena to be a cautious fox, we kept a silent distance unless we required a favour from him. That way, any calamity could be avoided. MeghaShyam Iyengar as the name goes continued to develop a strong relationship with Nicha Praveena silently so that he could mount a combat with me. I will talk more about it later.

Binoth Dinnanath starting calling the shots and Malcombe Barbarine followed the dice. Malcombe Barbarine had his role to play which was best known to him. Malcombe Barbarine often imitated Binoth Dinnanath’s lifestyle and to an extent changed his name to impress the world, especially girls. Both of them were experts in swapping relationships, mobile phones, jobs and so on. They never succeeded in those anyway. MeghaShyam Iyengar and I were little different from what Malcombe Barbarine and imitated Binoth Dinnanath used to be. It was mostly incompatible. Könda Mahoshay was always there but never there when wanted the most. Arbitration between both sides never yielded anything. Nicha Praveena was authoritative and judgmental. He never really got himself under the wheels of confusion. Nicha Praveena was tactful and knew what he was doing. Overall friendship between each other ended in despair. These thoughts were formative until each one of them knew what they were doing.

Few harsh words sent each one in depths of despair. MeghaShyam Iyengar used Nicha Praveena to plot a scam against me and ended up successful. Later, I decided to stay away from both of them but eventually continued to keep in touch with MeghaShyam Iyengar. Binoth Dinnanath got stuck with few questionable acts and later disappeared for a while and came back with a woman he married. Malcombe Barbarine got diverted with other interests but eventually did nothing to call the shots. Nicha Praveena got caught with all sorts of traps and had to flee the city. MeghaShyam Iyengar proposed me of an idea to evade Nicha Praveena on permanent basis. This was a good idea as Nicha Praveena found to be more troublesome than MeghaShyam Iyengar. I eventually agreed and Nicha Praveena left the station.

In one way, Nicha Praveena’s departure was like breathing a sigh. Binoth Dinnanath’s disappearance added flavour to what we just expected. In a way, Malcombe Barbarine was disarrayed. Könda Mahoshay left for his home town and never returned. Könda Mahoshay also fought hard with Binoth Dinnanath and Malcombe Barbarine which could have caused his move. None the less, MeghaShyam Iyengar and I continued to be what we were whilst Malcombe Barbarine dug a step deep.

The entire troop was dismembered. Binoth Dinnanath lost his way, Könda Mahoshay left for home and never returned, Nicha Praveena fled for good, and Malcombe Barbarine got slightly distracted. This left MeghaShyam Iyengar and I as we ended up picking a job for ourselves and find our route this way. Malcombe Barbarine competed with MeghaShyam Iyengar for his job but eventually picked one that was discarded by MeghaShyam Iyengar. It was an open secret that MeghaShyam Iyengar and Malcombe Barbarine fought hard to hold an upper edge in their professional careers. MeghaShyam Iyengar holds an upper hand even to this date. I was largely blamed to brim up the fuel between them and equally supporting MeghaShyam Iyengar for his ill deeds. Malcombe Barbarine was largely supported by Binoth Dinnanath remotely and I did consider Malcombe Barbarine’s past deeds before supporting MeghaShyam Iyengar on a full scale. MeghaShyam Iyengar, Malcombe Barbarine and I met frequently for many years and Malcombe Barbarine was the sole target for all our experiments. Malcombe Barbarine suffered inferiority complex due to his failures and his inability to do anything lucrative. Malcombe Barbarine’s luck started to decline.

Few years later after the departure of Binoth Dinnanath, Nicha Praveena and Könda Mahoshay, dust started to settle down. MeghaShyam Iyengar, Malcombe Barbarine and I continue to stay put spite of several differences. This continued for a while until one day when MeghaShyam Iyengar pulled a trigger and dropped the friendship for good. This separation between the three was good for very many obvious reasons. It bought a sign of relief on all our faces as we do not get to speak to each other.

MeghaShyam Iyengar and I had several issues that no solution was found. We just stopped talking to each other and it probably proved good to both sides of the divide. MeghaShyam Iyengar started a new lease of life and probably this was the most convenient thing to do. Probably his ego became larger than life. A long standing friendship came to an end. Several collaborations, culminations and tact were shared between us. This division obviously bought happiness on Malcombe Barbarine’s face. Now there is none to mark a hilarious comment on him and none to support the other.

I continued the friendship with Malcombe Barbarine for a while but could not take his tactful lifestyle. We made several negotiations but no solution could be found. I decided to end the friendship with Malcombe Barbarine on a similar note as I did with MeghaShyam Iyengar. In case of MeghaShyam Iyengar, both sliced away into oblivion. In the end, none remained committal. I never happened to see Binoth Dinnanath and Nicha Praveena but I continue to stay in touch with Könda Mahoshay after his return from his native town. Könda Mahoshay is now retired from his psychological lifestyle and now leads a quiet life in the urban world. I occasionally see Malcombe Barbarine and MeghaShyam Iyengar at the cross-way but we remain moreorless strangers at this time.

The form of such a betrayal occurred between us and to the least, we realised that such a thing happened. I remember the time when MeghaShyam Iyengar helped me through thick and thin times. I remember the time when Malcombe Barbarine was the first to stab me from the back, I remember the time when Nicha Praveena took the obvious opportunity to hack a scam against me, I remember the time when my old school mates and I plotted a trick to bewitch Könda Mahoshay. I remember the time when Binoth Dinnanath discarded all of us and failed to recognise the favours done by all of us.

I do not know if this is right or wrong, we were probably not made for each other.  This group of friends and collective soul was probably built to break. There were few good and few trying times.
