JUST MOVING ON-30


How to let go of all the attachments?Well,in our day to day life we are attached to so many things,then we all have a few persons towards whom we feel often endless amount of attachment.There have been enough texts written glorifying these attachments using lucrative words but at the end of it does it mean anything?As a dedicated follower of science I consider it my duty to question everything around me and look for convincing rational answers,and in this quest I often encounter concepts which although seemingly convincing are unreal,I feel.

I've failed to achieve total detachment but still I'm working towards it and have strong belief that I'll succeed soon.We all have embarked upon a journey which can often be compared to any journey we make so often.Life itself is a journey and I often compare it with a train journey.We often interact with fellow passengers,share jokes wit them,discuss politics even share phone numbers but how many passengers we remember after the journey?It's just because of our detached interaction back there we often don't cry when we take a leave at the destination.Why not use this concept in our life?I mean what use is of crying when we move on from one place to another?Further we move on from one life to another as well..So is it justified to cry if someone has terminated his/her journey?Not at all.In fact a detached application of oneself is needed in every walk of life and it is as hard a fact as it seems.

Yeah momentary pleasure often casts a cloud over our intellect but if even for a second we look beyond it,we can feel the reality as it is.Then pleasure does not seem like pleasure,pain does not feel like pain but still there is a feeling,an everlasting feeling of calmness within.I did not appreciate the importance of non attachment but once I used it on a trial basis,I did cling on to it and will never leave it ever in life.Our emotions weaken us.That is a fact,and attachment mixed up with emotions often creates chaos inside an individual which often manifests itself in brute forms.Thus we have savage beasts resulting out of human beings.

Non attachment has even lessened burden of formalities off my head as of now.I know things are not going to last forever so I don't waste time over them even unknowingly while if put another way,which is kind of opposite,I can enjoy every moment as it is no conditions applied.If it is not going to last forever,why fuss over it?Even people,we deal with a lot of individuals.We often do not know the majority of people we deal with daily.Yet there are a few for whom we go the distance...yeah everyone knows that.But then does that give us an excuse to dictate terms to those people?No nothing here can be taken for granted and if someone lets us take him/her for granted it is just a leaking pipe which needs to be fixed urgently.Similarly,if we let anyone take us for granted it is the same..

There are so many enjoyable things for us and each day we come across a lot of them but hte thing is that everything working here has a limit except one thing-the human desire.

Of course desire is glorified by some sections of the society today and we youngsters are often taught to burn ourselves in the fire of desire,guided by ambition etc.But this is totally harmful as is evident everywhere.C'mon look around us each one of us is dissatisfied and there is no uniform pattern for dissatisfaction.I mean is there a fixed parameter of income above which people must be satisfied and below it have a right to be dissatisfied?I've never heard of such limits.The point I wish to make is that there is no limit to human desires.People are never satisfied because satisfaction in itself is something hard to achieve.On one hand we are burning people with desires and on the other we are teaching them or rather ordering them to be satisfied!It is impossible.

I have a lot in my mind,to write about this issue and I can go on for pages but at the appropriate time it will come up too.For the time being I should apply brakes as I got a lot of work to do and grasp some concepts.Afterall,Physics is not my part time subject!

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...
