We all need definitions........... We are taught definitions.......... Oral exams in primary used to be exams of definitions! Secondary school was all about penning down all the definitions........ and now as we entered all prepared in school of real life... only definitions are demanded from us!
Definition of Life! I was taught; those who can breathe (inhale fresh air and exhale foul air is definition of breathing) are said to have life..... if that is the case what abt plants and animals who dont know the definition of breathing? Are they lifeless? well atleast we treat them so :
Definition of Yes & Definition of No! I always thought what all is yes is not no and what all is no is not yes, but yesterday I realised (thanks to my boss!) two times NO (like no! no!) is a YES... much like algebric rule minus* minus = plus! I hope YES & NO follows all algebraic principles... like a dwindling YES & NO should be taken as NO (minus * plus = minus).
Definition of word! well readers plz recall it that word is grp of alphabets that draws out a meaning (courtesy - NCERT textbook) so accordingly what meaning does MEANING draws... it always means "meaning" only!
Definition of climate... (which is beyond our scope almost everytime....).
Definition of sun,moon and earth.... If sun is a star y cant we see it at night.... if sun is a star, how does it still manage to be sun wen day strikes!
To complicate matters sometimes we define definition... so how do we define definition? A sentence (or sentences) which almost never portrays the reality......
How long do we have to deal with definitions.... is it till we reach infinity! Alas !! We have defined infinity as well.

The Butterfly Effect

The big question - The Nature governs Science or The Science governs Nature?
The answer to the question would be an "intellectual ambrosia",
and more we try to unearth the mystery more we get into an "intellectual amnesia".
My scientific inclination had persuaded me long back that whatever that occurs in nature is science. But with years passing and inclination diminishing in stupor of enormous irregularities that nature is made of, gave my wits a wistful space....
Couple of years ago............ I came across the phenomenon "Chaos"! Thanks to James Gleick the wonderful author of the even wonderful book, that i revived my interest in natural science!! As Gleick suggests, i've had a whole new way of looking into things as an aftermath of reading book several times! He quoted a wonderful folklore-
"For want of a nail, the shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe, the horse was lost;
For want of a horse, the rider was lost;
For want of a rider, the battle was lost;
For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost."
This presents an apparent analogy and like life, science is a chain of events with points of crisis that could magnify small changes. This is science of irregularities, of randomness, of disarray, of dynamicity, of unpatterned patterns, of crisis points spread almost everywhere. This the most amazing trait of nature as well......
I believe now the unpredictable disarray of all phenomenons can be easily predicted as the butterfly effect comes into play more often then not. Be it the nature of winds, or the pattern of clouds, or the nature of ocean currents, or the pattern of stock market, or the nature of politics we can stamp on surmise that no single trend will repeat alike.
Human behavior for instance follows the same line of unpredictability as one set of incidences or conditions cannot replicate. Social Engeneering (the term that took a great fame in indian elections 09) doesnt reap same fruits on same grounds in different times with different social, biological and psycological factors interplaying. Money follows the rule of discordance, morals waive alike.
So I say more we try to resolve the complexity we tend to forget the simplicity :) So as Einstein says - "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler."
and i would not try to explore the root tip but my view has changed already!!!!

Questionare
We question !
Others question, and we question why they are questioning !
Those other questions why we are questioning their question !
And this is how we kindle the series of questions and more questions and much more questions.......... I question again where is the answer?????? We feed ourselves voraciously on questions. We catechize, we challenge, we cross examine, we pick our brains for petty things and trinket facts. We put others belief through the winger, we oppugn the validity of long held truth, we wonder again at out own questions and wonder why we question????
To question almost everything around us has been the distinguishing characteristic that probably has increased per cc capacity of human at a far greater extent then any other creature. Charak asked HOW WE CAN CURE ALL AILMENTS? Newton asked WHY APPLE FALLS OFF ON EARTH AND DOESN'T FLY AWAY? and explained how we stand even at equator and do not fall tangentially. Franklin asked WHY CLOUDY NIGHTS GIVES LIGHTENING STREAK? Gandhi asked WHY VIOLENCE? and introduced non violence to world. Einstein asked WHAT IS TIME? and deduced the novel concept of relativity....... these great brains answered great questions. And so Questioning was considered a natural reaction of any logical mind.
And the time came after all that we started asking illogical questions on logics. Nations questions on boundaries, statesman question on their rights, people question on the integrity of each other.....(though never questions themselves).
Now we have chalked out a well remunerating career out of this habit that is in the field of eloctronic medio-cracy. They ask questions just about everything, just about anybody, and just about anytime to make sure to break the news(?) first. They grill over hours to decide Rafael Nadal is best or Roger Federer? They are so curious to know why Sachin Tendulkar do not slam century in every match? They never solicit the answer because there is no answer to such questions they only grill and demur. They question and question.
We also Question why they ask so many questions; so baseless questions; so inapt questions but we can never question them directly and we question why???
Is there anybody to whom we can question?
Others question, and we question why they are questioning !

Volens
The times have changed, the life is same We are searching harmonies in dissonance
huffing on others, sulking on self
caught in hues; dumping all cues
i am looking to the solution, in the spirit of time
walking the cay
cornering my fey
i found me on the verdant earth hiding beneath the aegis of a RAY
the RAY that is of hope killing despair!
the RAY that is of trust lightening the crepuscular betrayal!
the RAY that pops out caterwauls and let the canorous symphony play!
the RAY that follows the straight path without faltering
that never deviates
that is bellwether of a fine bright morning
that is an afflatus
the RAY is infinite............... so are thoughts!!
there is an origin but no end, there is direction that is in our hands
join hands to hold the thoughts, to pause the wavering
thoughts shall carve the coming years........
:) The hope is immortal

Just Lying
I am lying if i say that I hate lying........ because i don't lie :)
As Clare Booth Luce says "Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, and lessens the frictions of social contacts." So I've decided I'll lie..... this is my New year Resolution.
Zeitgeist would agree if I say lie is a mental blockage of old ages....... when people were less creative and more productive (we all are free to explore with IMAGINE boat) ...... lies need to be appreciated for the sheer imagination of the whopper. We, living in an aftermath of explosion (am talking of population explosion....... Pakistan has yet not trooped its nuclear missile), need to lessen the frictions of society. Prevarication can actually keep us away from the lightening batons of truth... who holds the flame so shining high that we have to drop down the lids of retina box, and close the eyes to open new vistas for innovation. So they make us more creative!!!!
WE are no martians to have a giant like colossal size but WE are earthens so to match a colossal altitude we hold our head high by saying "we are dwarfer martians" after all we are no less then them..... we have water on EARTH... and as Bollywood says "unke paas kya hai?" We always come up with a rejoinder to shatter the martian ego, to keep ours sky high :)
Our creative mindset never let us flag head beneath shoulder line as it works continously inventing, fabricating, texturing an idea which truth loving people do not understand. We liers definitely hold an edge above them because we dare to lie that we are intelligently thinking creatures. We do not search for or say something that is obvious to eyes or living perception, we say what only we can imagine. What we imagine tru'e'ants cant, thats why they keep hedging us from society and themselves, to give us more space to nurture a congenital talent within us.
If environment is a web, the centre (that is the strongest part) is definitely true, the expanding frill is a false fabrication which we liers expand to keep ourself from reach of truth, to fly free in air along and against winds to show the self integrity which in turn comes from the stronghold
I for swear again that I'll keep lying to give a boost to ego :)
