Darkness Matters

Don't be confused with the color of the skin. There is nothing dark about dark people. So it is also that there is nothing bright about bright people. Dark people can be equally bright and bright people equally dark.

Darkness is there in all of us. This is maturity. Once you understand this you are in the Mature people's list in reaching by superfast express. Why is there darkness? Darkness arises because we are imperfect. The more so we strive for excellence the more we realize that excellence comes down just as gravity does.

Feedbacks and personal interest

Feedbacks are good. Personal interets are also good. What is bad is wrong feedbacks and high personal interest.

Nature of God?

Once we know that there is God it becomes easier to find him/her/it. Now we come to what is the Nature of God? God is found in water, fire, earth, in human beings, in animals, in insects etc. everywhere. God is more on planet Earth than any other entity in the universe. The word 'God' is the origin of God.

We have also convinced ourselves that God does not have flesh, blood, bones. They don't brush our teeth like we do, neither do they deliver valuable sermons. They are operating 24x7 in all of us. In the living things that surround us, in the non living thing as well. It is just we see them operating and unable to do anything. Every deterioration of a piece of iron is god, everything we breathe and eat is God.

God doesn't look like us. Adieu!

Where is God? - A question that requires more clarity

God is everywhere. We have learnt saying this. The unfortunate thing is that we do not go further than this. We are afraid to explore. This question is so important whether we believe in God or not. God is there in idols, as much as they are in saints and common people. We worship just one form of god. We have taken a portion of his heterogenous composition and called him God. The good part to it is that it works. I prefer saying that God is as much in allah as in idols.

But do you not question what was there before Christ or Buddha. Was there God or was there no God. We interchange saints with God. Saints are part of this cosmos and their teachings make people more tolerant, peaceful, harmonious etc. They are messengers who every time remind us that we are all God's creations.

I prefer to say that God is in water, in the mountains, in yourself and in every other entity in the universe. God does not have flesh, blood nor do they have any form that we can perceptually visualize.

But All Saints are Great as messengers and every time we have philosophical or moral question we go to his teachings. Hindus fortunately have great many gods. We can worship one god or another. We must never forget that we are worshipping one form of God which is a part of the God as a whole. We shall never be able to see god but in nature's creations.

Things both around you and within you are nothing but God. Adieu!

Programming jamming

When anyone other than a computer specialist hears about programming they just want to run away from it. Why? Either they don't have the aptitude and neither the interest to learn programming. They always see programming as something that is outside their view. It is dangerous, one may get lost, and even one may loose oneself in computers, one may loose touch being human, all these things fill our mind.

One must learn to program. This is very important and necessary in today's world. One can start with C programming. The problem of a programme is the problem of dealing with syntax. Why not buy a book and start learning programming. It is a highly necessary tool. Your boss will be impressed if you could help them or do something in programming.

Learn it as early as possible. They are simple if you go step by step. You can always have a check list of the syntax if you are afraid to enter.

Small talk

Have you ever been in a small talk. Small talk ...is talking about others secretively. Trying to form opinions, passing judgements about others. Small talks mostly are only perspective, but it is perspective that counts. People have their own agendas of small talk. Some try to make friends, some want to get along with influential people.

It is difficult for some people to engage in small talk but necessary at times. It is an evil sometimes to engage in it. Small talk is always for the third person singular. Singular you know why, and I hope even you know third person why. Obviously we cannot talk to each other like that. Not even a hulk would bear such a mess.

There are positive aspects of side talk, it increases comaraderie, and understanding. It also increases human relations. The thing about small talk is that it is considered girly. But that is not true even men engage in small talk. All lobbies, all teams and all community, or groups engage in such activity either over phone, or face to face or behind backs.

If you ask me why people engage in small talk is because they feel important to behave in groups. A man has to engage in small talk if he has to belong in the group, or else he will be separated and casted out of the discussion. It is also some form of sacrifice from people to engage in small talks.

Small talks can be good because it leads to consensus in decision making, but not always right. It takes into consideration different views of different people and somehow make the final statement more conducive and hearable to every one.

How do we take emotions as information?

We all have started to do what doctors do. We take all emotions as information. We have devised methods to lessen or increase emotions. Whenever we felt depressed about something, we used to go to doctor and explain our grief. But now we have become so used to information these days that a death in a newspaper is something we least care about.

We have learnt to convert emotions to information. People who treated emotions and other human fallacies in not so far from now where considered to be doctors, psychiatrists, philosophers. But now a days it seems every body in the information age has now become or trying to become something as them.

"O tears" world welcome

Is there God? What he does or doesn't do

It is always better to convince ourselves to believe in God because we live in such a society. God in himself or herself doesn't do things the way we perceive. He does do certain things but most of them are delegated to us humans and animals. He made rules, we are here to make use of them or break them. Seldom we realize that we cannot break his rules but only understand it and use it for betterment or otherwise.

He made the sun, I don't agree, he made earth, I don't agree, he made humans, I don't agree. Humans are just evolutionary. Our predecessors are apes and who knows what the predecessors of apes were. May be this transformation is where God is. How can we say that god made humans? The way we think and the way we act are all miracles but that is not left to god. We made ourselves what we are today. There are miracles like the heart beats, the eyes sees, the nose smells and other things. But giving him the credit or taking some credit away is not how we should perceive God.

How does god look? He doesn't look like us humans. He looks like Allah. Indian Gods are demigods, each one have their own personalities, they have their limitations and they have their deficiencies.

What do they do? God has not made men. Now there is no God, he is busy making many other earths similar or dissimilar to us. Our death and our life will be totally dependent on how we choose to run the planet. There are saints who are worshipped so that they can take us in the right path whenever there is a deficiency of morals. But they too are crippled in these times of technology and science. We expect saints to know many things. That is not true. They are just to unite people. They can talk about compassion, bravery, peace etc. But these things are to be achieved they no longer remain words. They have their followers. These followers ought to incorporate the message in their daily work.

We must not ask saints about how things work, they are there to tell us "How to live?"

Can you memorize?

We have all learnt to memorize things when we were in school and college days. Most books on memory talks about tools and techniques to memorize. Things like pnemonics are common. But that is not memorizing. Pnemonics take away the objective of memorizing. We don't want to remember that S is for Swan, T for tiger etc. We want to remember the meaning of the words. Remembering the list is just the first stage of memorizing. Then we have to remember meanings.

Some people are so good at memorizing and others are equally bad. Why is this? Because memory is not about techniques it is about the food you eat that improves the cognition level of your brain and as like any other thing it takes regular practice. This regular practice is what makes your memory vivid and clear. You are more happier reciting the list in front of others than saying S for Swan and T for Tiger. (Do you realize that we can use S for Swan and T for Tiger as pnemonics for youngsters who are keen in improving their recall)

Memory is very vital and the better you recall the more you are appreciated and better will be the work done. Some say it is the diet that help you improve the memory. It is true. We want to improve the memory 'as-it-is' rather than take the help of any memorizing techniques. Memorizing techniques are only good for competitions.

To keep your memory ask the doctor what is to be done. There are lots of books on memory and articles on the internet to know about memory. We all know that internet is a taxing way for searching information and not so good for its credibility than doctors. At least it has become one.
So put effort to memorize the next time you have anything to do, but don't use techniques.

Information overdose

We are in an age where there is information right on our finger tips. We cannot deny that. All the good and bad information, right and wrong information, important and unimportant information, all are over lapped one over the other.

We must make it clear to ourselves that we have limited time and too much information. What can we do to deal with it. Few things, we can either transfer the information to those who have time and buy their time. This is what we have been doing for the past many years. But since there is overdose we cannot deal the problem with more people. We have to find a smarter way to deal with it. We all know that there is so much information to confuse us. Any layman knows. We are old enough to understand this. Another way is to simply discard the information and come to it only when we require one. We all live in a world where we have to learn to scan things rather than to read things completely.

Most of us are not even well versed in reading, why, because reading takes too much effort and also there are some really smart, bad reading, copy paste articles out there.

We have replicas of the same readings again and again. Now we have rather forgot who was the father of the material, the original inventor. That is why some bad textbooks have so many bibliographies, because that is what we have. It shall take too much of our time to really experience these things. Now we have considered them to be true to what they are saying. That is a strange assumption. People are doing good work but there is lot that still needs to be done.

Games We Play

There are good games, there are bad games. Good games make every body better whereas bad games creates more and more victims. The simplest of all games is 'I win, You lose'. This is also one of the reason for playing games. People want only food, clothing, and shelter and after that they play games.


Every occupation is a game in itself. Let us simply consider sales for example. We follow where the money is and we don't where there is none. There are rules for every game. If we don't understand the game that we are into we shall always have doubts in what we do.

Read again

You must have written a lot for your exams and made notes but have you ever corrected them for spelling mistakes, punctuation, wrong formatting etc. We seldom do it and we assume they are correct. We would want to see examinations taking place on computers at our own leisure. Some exams are conducted as per the convenience of the students. There are no exam centers there is a home PC and you give them the dates.

It looks so shabby when you send emails to your clients with mistakes. There is one remedy for all this. Start proof reading. Proof reading has nothing to do with law or legal affairs, even though their materials are proofread thoroughly.


There should be a short course in schools or colleges to proof read and explain them the significance of proof reading materials. Here they are answer papers. We would sometimes laugh at our own writing if we read them. Proofreading can be done at different levels. It is boring and takes strenous effort and preparation, but still it is always better to do it. We sometimes ask someone else to read the mail we are going to send. This is the simplest form of proof reading material.

So dont' forget going through your materials once again. It will make you a better communicator.

Don't kill skills.

Demand dies but skills don't. If we consider any product in the shop, they are a mix and match of many skills put together. They are very specialized skills and can run only as long as the product or services can run. Skills are the closest to men and women who do them. Ask any craftsmen and he will never give you the secret of his skills. From this we know that how skills are dear tio them.

The only wrong thing we have done is we have divided a skill of a genius into many parts. We have become good at replicating the skills of a genius and produce products and services that one man could build. Just look at your computer. Is it not easy to convince yourself that a genius might have built it. Now look it is so easily being manufactured by incorporating few more hands. We are making and reproducing products every minute and every second.

Skills take a long time to develop and produce great works and services. So 'Don't kill skills'.

Text books over story books

We all hated textbooks. They were only to memorize. They suggested hard work and putting your nose down and not seeing here and there. They were meant to pass exams which in themselves were taxing. But this hate of textbooks has carried over our hate for story books. After all they look similar.

I have a certain reason for not liking story books. Because somewhere they don't make sense why people do what they do. At every point I would have taken a different course of action unlike what the character of the story takes. Unless I am convinced about the previous steps the character takes how am I to trust him in the later stages. Slowly and steadily everybody becomes a person who you cannot trust.

I may be wrong because I have not read many. I have read few wellknown pieces of some stories the first few pages. May be I have no taste for living things in stories. They are too dynamic. Text books aren't so. "I can trust text books I cannot trust stories". The more I read stories the less trust I could place on human beings. I have so shifted back to text books which gives me certainty over uncertainty. I would say further that textbooks give certainty to uncertainty and stories gives uncertainties to certainties. They put us on a steep, long walking rope.
