JUST MOVING ON-17

Before I begin I want to confess that I don't have an expertise on philosophical concepts and ideas.Most of the things I say have no relevance or relation with respect to the existing ideas at the present.I may sound stupid and this is the reason I don't make my ideas public until I'm fully convinced.It's more like a kitchen kind of thing.You don't take your cooked meal out until you are convinced about the taste whatever be the ingredients!
So now let's begin with what I intend to put here.I won't go round and round as I think matters are more clear in concise form.Whatever we do has a definite cause and will have a definite result,this is what we are taught from the very beginning but as we grow old and educated and things become much clear ,we start questioning this kind of thought.Some of us have a strong belief in religion and most of the time the answers are clear from a religious point of view as we introduce God everywhere we find things hard to explain.God solves all our mysteries in fact, we assume God to be the cause of all the mysteries and hence we further boost our belief in the causality of events and objects.I don't think there is further room in that kind of a mind for ideas like non causality of events. But for someone who does not believe in something as absolute as a God,complications arise.Well from what I've learnt until now,of course the principle of causality is valid at least in the broader sense but minutely as well as closely,things are different.Well to start lets say I am doing something,it will be influenced by my past actions and will have some effects in the future but is that it?Why I'm doing the action at all?Well there has to be some unknown factor in it and that unknown is the source of the confusion everywhere.I don't think people have fully understood the unknown and the only information we have about it is in the form of speculative answers which fail to convince a lot of people at least!Physicists have been looking for answers to these questions,philosophers have discussed it over ages as well as the so called freelancers about whom we even don't know.
From what I've understood until now we generally don't observe things minutely as we take a lot of things to be granted but if we look closely even the mvements of something as tiny as an ant seems to be a fascinating thing!The nature well how to we understand it?There are many point of views regarding our nature and surrounding as well as our planet.Whichever seems suitable to our mind we tend to follow and then we try to find answers using this fixed point of view.Trapped,are we?Forget freedom we don't even allow us to think beyond this particular point of view.Ok then we have our perceptions about everything.I mean the ability with which we recognize colors,smell etc.But our perceptions lie,believe me I've experienced it.My eyes lied to me and I was on the verge of humiliating myself.So there is nothing too great about our perceptions.What I mean to say,is that we have limited sense organs including our mind.So to think that with this small limited mind we'll be able to explore everything,to know everything in the universe well we are delusional to say at least!Then we have this limited mind and we have the delusion that we'll one day be able to explore everything.I want to make it very clear that we have our shortcomings so it is very necessary to get out of the delusion that we can or do know everything.In fact whenever humans have thought so,they've been proven wrong.We can't and will never know everything as it'd be the end then.What'd be the meaning of this world if we were to know everything?There has to be some requirement for actions in that direction everytime to keep it moving.So then now coming to causality well as I said it is too easy to understand broadly but how do we explain the unknown element I mentioned there?"Everything has a cause and every action has its effects." is as real as it seems but then is it delusion?I mean is it so that we don't have enough knowledge to understand the causes.Well it leads to somewhere but I don't think the answer lies there.So then is it the limited sense of ours that prevents us from knowing the whole cause of everything?Well then religions have understood it and the puppet-master analogy of theirs seems almost perfect although it is far from convincing.So then if we aim to find comprehensive answers we fail miserably don't we?Well then we have to just move on and find the answers.It is the motto and I aim to follow it totally.

NAGALAND: FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Not too many people have Nagaland in their bucket list. Uncomfortable roads, poor transport system and a lot of corruption are a few factors which contribute to it. Added to it the stories of still active insurgency, Nagaland although an extremely beautiful hill state doesn’t manage to have a lot of tourism going on except for the Hornbill festival in December every year. But, my case is slightly different. Affinity towards the culture of the entire North east, plus a desire to visit not to tourist frequented places made Nagaland a definite must go. So, when I got time and saved some money, I immediately planned a trip to the beautiful hilly state with my girlfriend. The Nagaland express Since, th is was my second trip towards the hills of the North east, I was more confident and familiar with the sytem than the previous time. We booked a filght to Guwahati and from there we took a train to Dimapur aptly named : The ”Nagaland Express”. This

FIRST TRIP TO THE NORTH EAST-MIZORAM

Around 7 years ago during the final year of my school, I read a book about the various tribes of the north East India. Already fascinated by a place so serene, yet unexplored and heard stories of the people inhabiting those lands, the book generated in me a desire to visit the places as soon as possible. The author of that book visited the entire North East as a part of his assignment for All India Radio (AIR) during the 1970s and the way he described those tribes and the places, a strong desire arose inside of me to visit these places and see for myself how beautiful that land is, how well mannered those people are! It is aptly called the 'unexplored paradise' as I discovered. But the idea materialized only in March, when financially empowered by a scholarship from ISRO, and constantly motivated by my best friend (who could not resist travel, and hence accompanied me!), I planned to visit Mizoram. Why Mizoram? There is a particular thing about the mizos, and if asked com

TRIP TO HARIDWAR AND RISHIKESH

A trip to places like Haridwar and Rishikesh is always a source of peace,joy and spirituality and when we went to these places this month, it was no different.We had some free time and I along with my two other friends decided to visit Haridwar as well as Rishikesh for a short 4 day trip.As I had spent my childhood in a nearby town,naturally these places were well travelled by me . Day-1:Bus to Haridwar We got up early in the morning,at around 0445,hurriedly got dressed up,called each other and ran off to the ISBT at kashmiri gate to catch an early bus to Haridwar.I was extremely careful to catch the bus as early as possible because of the traffic at the border growing up a few hours later.We expected to catch the bus at around 0700,but as it always happens,we were delayed by around 30 minutes and managed to board the bus as 0730.It was a smooth journey,early in the morning a lot of fresh air poured in,later as it was not too hot,we enjoyed riding the bus in the bri
