Himachal Pradesh

Himachal Pradesh is a very good example of self sufficient economy. People are happy with whatever little they have. The most fundamental needs like food, cloth and shelter is fulfilled by nature.

I have seen a very strange thing that is their cultural taste, the objects they use, their colors, their forms. These are so so advanced that I can say they were one of the most developed cultures of the world. And the most beautiful thing is, they are still very near to that.

While staying their for a longer duration, I asked a local village person if he or other people there would be interested to start any industry there, he frankly denied. I found them so contented genetically, culturally.

Living in the close proximity of nature, isolation from urban development gave them a meditative environment. They evolved so beautifully. This may be partly due to their self sufficiency. They are least dependant on their neighbor places, each unit residing on geographically recognizable unit is independent till large extent that least does it depend on others.

Another important factor, some very very small villages are so beautiful, even more beautiful than known tourist spots - they are beautiful in all ways because tourists or people never bothered to stay or interact there. I really thanked God that we or they could not reach there. And you will not believe they are so so beautiful - their trees with their angles, their grasslands, their homes, so natural, I believe for centuries, I saw consciousness dancing there, arranging everything visually, visually so beautiful, I was just hanged to them, so much so virgin those places were even I once thought before walking over those pieces of land.

Mostly these places are on the way to higher mountain areas, they emerge suddenly and artists will find those inspirations so inspiring, I have no words to describe, all that I can say we are so so fortunate that those beauties and cultures are still surviving and more happily I can say people would never stop or stay there as they are very small and amidst this huge beauty it makes no sense to stop and stay there (that too, only for beauty). Thank God it make no sense. Those beauties are, as it is as they were, as beautiful.

Not good

Google chrome has no history, no google search and no pr meter. This is really something not good from the tech giant like google.

It is missing the most simple things. People are used to IE and want at least most basic features of browsing conveniently.

The Good Looking Teachers: Old vs New

The most important thing is We are not meant for those 'unknown procedures' which we inject into our minds. Our mind operates on some very fundamental programming.

This is the cause of all human suffering.

Going in detail, I was returning from hills and was wayback in delhi to my home by metro. In train i was looking analytically to good looking teachers going to schools, they all there were in their mid of 'understanding' and were in fight with modernity and their days old traditionality, as most of the indians are.

I was thinking curiously and very seriously what make us suffering. The most fundamental reason.

Suddenly something clicked in my mind. This is GOING AGAINST OUR FUNDAMENTAL PROGRAMMING.

We have been programmed to operate on very simple instructions (programming).

But we complicate this by LEARNING EVERYWHERE. Yes this is something very very important.

All our negative things are result of our inside fight with our fundamental and the new.

This modernity is eating us.

Unless we know how to handle this.

plant A TREE and INFORM ONE PERSON to PLANT A TREE

It is really something very serious, india is to face. The 'upcoming' drought.

India is running for westernization but what it is missing is the Greenery, the environment.

We are at distance from our culture. And are with a culture that is no culture itself. This is adaptation, blindly adapting.

Certain things are fundamental like food, shelter and clothes. Similarly the environment we live in.

We are doing nothing for the air we breathe in.

We are doing nothing for the trees around us.

We take them for granted.

Nature is depleting very fast. And the pollution is growing even with a faster rate.

What can we do.

There will be a day when everybody will be crying for water, food and the fundamental things. But then it will be too late.

This is the time we should unite and take this thing (the plantation) very seriously. At least we much privilaged ones should come forward.

Planting in our neighbourhood green areas is as important as planting a plant in our pot.

We must start a compaign globally to plant trees collectively. We should not wait for the govts. to take action.

I would request the readers of this blog to plant A TREE and INFORM ONE PERSON to PLANT A TREE.

But the way she was hitting the instrument with one hand with five fingures was amazing

Yes today i was looking for folk music of china. I was very much impressed by Pipa Solo by Liu Fang of China. It was a good solo presentation.

The thing i was thinking seriously was its comparison with Indian classical music. Difficulty wise the string instrument she was playing is similar to indian equivalent Sarod (the Indian String Instrument). Sarod is recognised to be one of the most difficult instrument.

But the way she was hitting the instrument with one hand with five fingures was amazing. It was perfection itself. With confidence and a rare seriousness.

So many takes and pauses were similar to Indian Classical One. There were certain compositions like Sitar's 'Jhala' (hitting hard to the instrument at high tempo).

I was very happy to see she was encouraged, recognised and invited by so many places in the west. This is something very important for artist.

I liked the Chinese softness of presentation be it music, conversation, art or any other form. A slight glimpses of element of mystery. They are really a very delicate culture with lots of ancient wisdom.

a beautiful analogy for 'what is time'

Yes, i could never write about ultimate mysteries

it was my innate, days old passion to write about ultimate mysteries

of death and time,

what is time, i invented a beautiful analogy

it says, there is a reel of (consciousness) when passes against the sunlight of mind, produces the movi of 'what is happening' before one's eyes.

One end of this reel is past and the other is future. It is unwinding from future to past.

And amazingly this is possible to 'get into' this unwinded 'future' and see the content of the reel.

changing suddenly brings breath of joy,

I was so tied to my routine,

of thinking and lots of thinking,

about

philosophy of everything, how plants grow, why one behaves in certain way, how things can be simpler, and a lot many things,

I think our existence is nothing but the thinking, our life revolves around thinking, we breathe thinking and breathe out thinking

And this thinking is related with our performed actions,

And mind somewhere feels good or bad,

changing suddenly brings breath of joy,

without any reason.

I am breathing happiness, change is life

I am little surprised what is making happier these days. Nothing unusual happening except that i am unwinding my old routine,

I have started seeing life, out of routine,

I simply enjoy the work, unroutined, i have intoduced some new things,

I have some sleep in daytime, I work late till 1 am,

Changing routine or change in life brings happiness, perhaps change is life, itself.

a beautiful day

This was a beautiful day, except that weather is humid. Everything else was beautiful.

Recently i have intorduced a new practice, puting my kitchen platform clean, at the end of day working at home. It is very beautiful.

I never washed bartan all my life. But start doing makes one loving that art. I have developed loving this underrated work as well.

I am surprised.

Expression, What ab those who are less privilaged, Expression

The most fundamental thing. Writing is.

We see, think and express. We can not escape form these 3 fundamental things.

So what is writing. It is a simultaneous input , processing (thinking) and output process.

Experience of it makes one artist, of expression. That is writing.

One of the most fundamental art. Since man came into existence.

What ab those who are less privilaged.

I have also to become artist of expression. Master of these 3 processes.

I am a very fast processor. All that i need is expression.

Expression.

आशा की एक किरण
मुझ से कहती है
तुम ग़लत नहीं हो

मंजिल तुम
