PLATFORMS OF THOUGHT/THE ULTIMATE PLATFORM!

Man has always been trying to reach where he thinks he owns a place for himself, for a number of millennia now........THE LAST/FINAL PLATFORM! He has been trying for this all these millennia, using all conceivable forms of doing things to be there, where he thinks (or more properly phrased) he belongs to! From time to time this final destination always eluded him, despite all his efforts & attempts in millions of ways! Still, keeping his deep faith in the existence of that LAST PLATFORM or LAST FRONTIER FOR HUMAN BEINGS human beings keep moving......!

The man, when he lived with the minimum pretentions, eons ago, accidently made fire or he came to know the use of fire; without PATENTING THE USE OF FIRE the entire humanity entered a new era of existence! MAKING FIRE he entered a hitherto new era, hence platform, and started to play with it! From then on human life became different & sophisticated! Discovery of Fire was ofcourse a new platform but never the final one!

THE ART OF PAINTING & THE PERFOMANCE OF DANCE made the human beings reach another platform where they started to assume themselves as something different & exalted! He painted what he thought the perfect copies of what he saw around him & danced as if some divine powers – the ultimate platform! - were making him do it, with frenzy! In this platform too human beings wished for the ULTIMATE PLATFORM where they were immortal!

THEN CAME GOD OR RATHER THEN MAN CREATED GOD! In search of the final frontier for the human kind MAN CREATED GOD IN HIS OWN SHAPE & CHARACTER that in HIM he found himself achieving immortality – THE FINAL PLATFORM, which for the man of that era was not possible in reality! Hence, with the CREATION OF GOD, even though it was through proxy – GOD – he entered the FINAL PLATFORM in illusions!

IF SAID PRECISELY, THE FINAL PLATFORM WAS ALWAYS ABOUT LIVING AS LONG AS ONE WISHED OR IN OTHER WORDS IMMORTALITY! With the creation of GOD human beings PROXY-REACHED THE FINAL PLATFORM, with the help of the IMMORTAL GODS! But in real they died even much before they even started to think about death! Then the continuous search for immortality made them reach MEDICINE! It was a platform ofcourse, but not THE FINAL PLATFORM!

Around 9000 BC DOMESTICATION OF ANIMALS happened! It was something which had never happened before & the way human beings lived till then changed dramatically with it! The systems existed till then gave way to the newly mastered system and human beings started to live according to a new set of rules which changed their living system again! Man started to plan, in the very basic sense of the word, not only for him but for the animals as well & that changed his style of living; in other words the domestication of animals forced more responsibilities on him & made him reach a new platform!

Thinking about a lot of things & doing a lot of things knowingly & unknowingly, about 10000 YEARS AGO HUNTERS BECAME FARMERS! PEOPLE, FOR THE FIRST TIME, SETTLED IN TOWNS & DEVELOPED A NEW WAY OF LIFE – WE CAN CALL IT THE BEGINNINGS OF CIVILISATION! Civilisation was the next platform man entered into with or without his knowledge, as happened in all the platforms he has entered into all his existence!

In 5000 BC BRICK was first used for building! In 3500 BC INVENTION OF WHEEL TO MAKE POTTERY HAPPENED IN MESOPOTAMIA! Around 3200 BC WRITING APPEARED IN INDUS & SUMER & THE FIRST USE OF BRONZE WAS DONE! All these things can be considered different platforms on which human beings have reached one after another, taking enormous quantity of TIME!

The next platform, that of the KINGS & RULING CLASS is supposed to have started with GILGAMESH, THE LEGENDARY RULER in 2750 BC! With this new platform a lot of things changed & almost till date this same system of ruling has been in place, with different appearances & alterations! The impact of the new platform was extremely heavy & it lasted almost 5000 years without much difference is ample proof of its impact on the human society!

What Buddha taught the world 2500 years ago was something which the world had never heard till he uttered it; ofcourse he made the world reach another platform with his great & fantastic thinking! From that point onwards the world was never the same again! What Socrates did was also something platform-breaking, where he emphasised the importance of thought! Still the FINAL PLATFORM eluded the entire humanity!

WHEN WILL IT BE......? WHEN WILL MAN REACH THERE........? WILL SOMEBODY LEAD MAN THERE........? , have always been the questions for which never came the answers! Somehow or the other & knowingly or unknowingly Man has reached one platform after another, continuously, all these millennia! The real questions are “HOW NEAR WE ARE TO THE FINAL PLATFORM?!” & “ISN’T IT THE TIME WE REACH THERE?!” A lot of people have come to this world proclaiming to be the providers of the ultimate solution to the problems of human existence & they vanished without making the human kind reach THE ULTIMATE/FINAL PLATFORM! Thinking about THE ULTIMATE/FINAL PLATFORM what becomes conspicuous is that it will make Man immortal or at the least make/let him live on this Earth till he wishes to move away from here – as is in the HUMANLY CREATED HEAVEN IDEA & IMMORTALITY OF WRITERS/FAMOUS MEN OF DEEDS etc! - & make him happy all his life – another HUMANLY CREATED HEAVEN IDEA!

ALL THE PLATFORMS MAN HAS REACHED, ALL THESE MILLENIA, HE REACHED ONLY DUE TO HIS THINKING CAPACITY/THOUGHT & ONLY THROUGH PERFECT & SPOTLESS THINKING ONE CAN EVER REALISE OR KNOW OR REACH THE ULTIMATE ONE! And, THE GREATESTS OF ALL THE SURPRISES IS THAT IF ONE KNOWS –EVEN IN ONE’S THOUGHT- WHAT IMMORTALITY & HEAVEN ‘REALLY’ IS, ONE HAS REACHED THE FINAL/ULTIMATE PLATFORM OF HUMAN EXISTANCE! AND, AT THE LEAST, THE ONE WHO KNOWS IT IS THERE FOR ALL THE HUMANITY!!!

Growing Up An Irresponsible Generation!

WE ARE GROWING A GREAT GENERATION - AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE & INSENSITIVE ONE! This is what we have been trying hard to make come true in our life time! This does not mean that all the other generations which preceded the existing one were the pure fine examples of responsibility, sensibility & sensitivity! But, what we have been growing for quite some time now is A TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE, MECHANICAL & INSENSITIVE ONE! Here, nothing is what it should be & should have been! Here, nothing is constructive & enduring! Here, nothing is natural, positive & human!

What we try to raise & have been raising, for quite some time now, is an undefined or stupidly defined make shift arrangement of living on Earth! What we trumpet as the marvels of OUR NEWLY INVENTED SYSTEM OF LIVING IS ALL BUT A SYSTEMATIC, REVERBARATING, NATURAL, HUMAN LIFE STYLE/SYSTEM! The anarchical existence we have been for sometime now have been modified so diligently that, now for the coming generation, (or should we call them degeneration?!) there is no way that they escape their destiny of being AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE, MECHANICAL & INSENSITIVE GENERATION WHICH IS THERE TO LIVE AN EXTRAORDINARILY IMPULSIVE LIFE!

Life has always been beyond the grasp of the common man (which is the 99.999999999% of all human race!) all these ages! A lot of people tried to define it all these ages & some got it correct, at the least for a particular time period! An all enveloping grasp was never possible; that doesn't mean that it is not possible! But, one common factor binds all these ages with the exception of the presently growing generation - that is the way they lived their lives! What they all did was trying to live on this beautiful Earth in such a way that they stayed together & positively improve themselves & by that way improve the entire human race, gradually, systematically & by humanly positive ways! Theirs was a gradual, progressive & systematic method of development which made the human beings reach where they are today! They stayed together as they would never go apart in the entire life, as they stuck together for the first time ever to form the oldest of the human civilisations & cultures!

Now, in India, which is one of the oldest of the human civilisations, which has a near 7000 year history to its credit, is doing something which can, if properly maintained & grown, even uproot the social & cultural systems we have been following all these millennia! What we in India have been PRACTICING WITH PASSION FOR SOMETIME NOW has the power to even de-humanize the entire civilisation, where the first baby cry of the civilisation echoed! For sometime now, we have forgotten the great things we had & we have being an Indian & Bharatiya! We foolishly tried to learn WHAT WAS NOT OURS AS FASHION & STYLE and tried to implement them, forgetful of the outcome & the impact on the generations to come! We started to live according to the laws of Neptune & Pluto on our planet Earth! We forgot what we were & are and what we have to be!

Thinking, education, life-style, food, clothing & every department of an Indian's life is DAMAGINGLY MODIFIED BY THE NEW AGE EXISTANCE! What we do these days COMPLETELY REFLECT WHAT OTHERS DO SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, SOME THOUSANDS OF KILOMETRES AWAY FROM WHERE WE EXIST – MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY! What we never ask is WHY WE SELECTED THIS SELECTED GROUP OF PEOPLE/COUNTRIES OR THEIR METHODS OF LIFE TO FOLLOW, LEAVING BEHIND FOREVER OTHER COUNTRIES & THEIR STYLES & SYSTEMS OF LIFE?! AND, WE FORGET/FORGOT BASICALLY TO ASK WHAT WAS/IS THERE IN OUR INDIAN CULTURE & CIVILISATION THAT BAD THAT WE ALTOGETHER WISHED/WISH TO HAVE & HAD A SEA CHANGE IN OUR LIFE?!

Families have been the back bone of all the civilisations and it is through them the civilisations & cultures grew all over the world. In India we had a very strong, dependable & deep rooted family system which we evolved taking thousands of years! Whatever development we had & have as human beings of India is due to this family system & the culture & civilisation it developed with it! Now, for sometime now, as tail-wagging followers of some countries, which don't even have a civilisation that is a couple of millennia old, we the Indians have almost succeeded in the complete mitigation of what we have created taking almost long 7000 years; indeed that can be termed a marvellous work - uprooting a 7000 year old civilisation with a minimum time span of almost 64 years (Count the years after our independence in 1947 from the so called colonial powers!) flat!

NOW, WE HIGHLIGHT THE FAMILY BREAKERS AS OUR CULT & POPULAR HEROES! We discuss & write volumes about how he or she BROKE THE FAMILY of him or her in this & that way; we discuss elaborately HOW HAPPY WOULD BE HE OR SHE WHO BROKE THE FAMILY of he or she! We dream & talk "How Beautiful The Life Will Be For The Woman Who Stole The Husband Of Another Woman, Who Had 2 Kids With Him!" and write elaborate columns on the place where these NEWLY GOING TO WED are going to spend their GOING TO COME HONEYMOON! We put the photographs of these FAMILY BREAKERS IN BIG SIZE IN OUR SLEAZE NEWS PAPERS & WONDER HOW STICKY THEY ARE TO EACH OTHER! We ask their advice & opinion on FAMILY BREAKING on TV, Newspaper, Websites etc & wonder how wonderfully they did it! We make statues, churches & temples for these FAMILY BREAKERS & adorn our closets with their full size photographs that the growing generation learn from them! WE, INDIANS, CAN BE VERY PROUD OF OURSELVES AS WE HAVE DEVELOPED A UNIQUE FAMILY BREAKING CULTURE & CIVILISATION in very short time span, following someone doggedly who never had a family history which is older than a millennium!

Now, as it has been made to be, THIS IS THE AGE OF THE KIDS! Whatever they wish they are given the very moment they wish for; whatever thing they show some sort of an interest in is SHOWERED UPON THEM DAY & NIGHT that they INDULGE COMPLETELY IN THEIR LIKES & WISHES! It is a LIFE OF COMPLETE INDULGENCE the kids of India live! It is his age - THE IRRESPONSIBLE KID'S AGE (And, of course, the irresponsible & senseless parents' age!)! IN INDIA KIDS ARE SPOILED BY THE AGE OF THE KIDS & THE ARDENT SUPPORTERS OF THE KIDS' AGE - PARENTS! The kids in India grow up protected from all sides, like the broiler chicken caged to be transported from one place to the other, never having an idea about THE REAL LIFE....THE DIFFICULTIES, PROBLEMS, PRESSURE, SADNESS, TENSION, RIGHT, WRONG, MISTAKE, SELF & A MILLION OTHER THINGS RELATED TO A HUMAN BEING BORN! They grow up without any restrictions imposed upon them & getting whatever they wish to have in their life; growing up, education system -which is changed into some sort of a non-existent entity with no power to mould a future citizen!- life style, thinking & all bent, broken & transformed to suit an over indulgent kid! And, the result is AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER- REACTIVE & INSENSITIVE CITIZEN WHEN ONE GROWS UP, WHO ALWAYS FAILS IN THE TRIALS OF LIFE, WHERE EVERYONE IS ON HIS OWN & NO PARENT OR GOVERNMENT CAN BE OF ANY USE!

Now, in India, we have developed a unique Indian system where one can do whatever one likes & go scot free as long as one wishes, provided you have men at the proper places! This one is an indigenously built one of which every Indian can be proud of! Here the blame can always be put on any one else's shoulder & even a mahatma can be made to appear a hard core criminal, in seconds! Making a disaster happen & then saying sorry is our present day hobby; we can spend, without our conscious being hurt, any number of days to make a disaster happen or else we can wait for them as the opportunity to make a disaster happen is any second of a day! Whenever there happens a disaster nobody is REALLY HELD RESPONSIBLE & BROUGHT TO THE BOOK AND ONLY EYE WASH THINGS HAPPEN! The very next second after the disaster one can expect another more grievous one, without fail! If something severely disastrous happens, somebody will say something & go behind the curtain; and after some time someone else will come to the fore to utter something & vanish; then will come another one accusing the first two & will say something totally different & vanish......! By the time these regularly appearing different people stop saying something on the disaster it will be any number of decades.....! That is the style & responsibility we have developed making maximum use of the 64 years we got after OUR SO-CALLED INDEPENDENCE FROM A VERY SHORT TIME PERIOD OF 200-300 YEARS SLAVERY, IN OUR HISTORY OF 7000 YEARS!

And hence, we are building, giving all that we have, AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE & INSENSITIVE GENERATION (OR GENERATIONS) that we can feel satisfied, as we dutifully did whatever stupid, insensible & uncultured - TO OUR 7000 YEAR OLD CULTURE OF BHARATH! - things we could have done & move/d forward without ever imagining the great & irreparable damage we have done to one of the oldest of the civilisations & of course the present & future generations! Let us celebrate the destruction we have caused to our great culture & the coming generation/s! YES, IT IS CELEBRATION TIME.......AS IT IS THE ALMOST TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF OUR GREAT CULTURE & CIVILISATION THAT IS CELEBRATED.......LET US DANCE & REJOICE, AS WE CAN BOAST THAT WE FATHERED AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE , EXTREMELY SELF INDULGENT & INSENSITIVE GENERATION!

OH MY GOD.......IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!

God was or is ‘always’ equal to the level of thought or brain power or logic of the person who thinks of God! That’s why men always have a ‘logical and straightforward god’ and females an ‘emotional and inconsistent god’ who will always support (that’s how people think god will respond to their (good) actions in real life, and people ‘Only’ do good actions in their lives, as to them only those actions are good and because of that ‘God’s Actions’ or the actions which will get the approval of the God automatically as they are good and God stands for whatever that is good) the actions they take/do in their lives-males doing/ going for logical, consistent, straight forward and fact based actions & females less logical, less factual, inconsistent, emotion based- therefore groundless- and round about way of actions!

God always reflects the mind of the thinker of God or else ‘God is just a reflection of a human mind’. Or we can rather say that god was or is always equal to the society or world, which is populated by males and females, existed/ existing at any given point of time! And then the most surprising or shocking matter is that as per the things stated God is Man or Man is God!!!

Hence, god Mona Sing thought what god Akshay did was not right and goddess Rekha thought it was great stupidity god Amartya Mishra was doing and so on.....! And the god running the tea shop, Vadivel Muthu gave very less quality and quantity to the 10 rupee he charged for the cup of coffee from the customer god Balu and the bus conductor god Raju Sudhanpet pretended to be oblivious of the change he had to give back to the commuter god Jalappa Reddy and the teacher god Amareesh.K. never taught his student gods Prakruti Misra, Saakeeth Krishnamurthy, Sangeeth Malhotra and others as he was sure to be get paid by the educational institution he (the teacher god) is working for, for ‘not taking classes!’ Oh My God or Oh My Man?!

FAR BETTER OPTIONS FOR INDIA OTHER THAN WASTING TIME ON PAKISTAN

My mom finished matriculation and went for Malayalam (The Language Used by the Keralites) Vidhuan (Scholarly Studies)! However, she didn't complete it. She got married to my dad, who was working in Bombay at that time! Then, I was born, in Vile Parle, Bombay! We were a middle class family. As years went on, my father got a fantastic job in one of the gulf countries, and we were sent packing to the state, where my parents were born. When we settled down in Kerala, somehow my mom picked up fights with one of our new neighbours! We had, from our other neighbours, vilified stories about this particular neighbour, who according to them, even worshiped the evil spirit (Kutti Chathan or Chota Chathan!)

They told she even was an enchantress who seduced males by the help of the evil spirits she worshiped! She had a magical powder with her that would be used in the food stuff she offered to others including the neighbours, that she could control them and make them do whatever she wished, we were told in whispers! And, we had our ears full of stories in which she defeated males in fist fights & guerrilla fighting methods, where she attacked unsuspecting males from behind with sticks and knives, in nights, when these poor fellows were returning home after their daily work! Hence, it so happened that whenever a problem surfaced anywhere near & far my mom blamed it on this Evil Worshiper! She was blamed day & night for the evil deeds she continuously did! Other neighbours, who too were the "Poor Victims" of her evil works, supported my mom, in the furtherance of the pieces of information about this evil worshipper, who did anything to satisfy her evil mind! Iran-Iraq war, Saddam's Invasion of Kuwait, Global Warming, The Price Rise in the Commodity Market, The Failure of the Indian Hockey Team in the Olympics & a lot of other things were blamed on her & her evil works! My mom and company even painstakingly traced the Hiroshima Bombing to the evil wishes & evil doings of my evil neighbour!

I laughed for hours, almost every day, because of these kind of inventions made by my mom & co, on a daily basis! It was so funny to watch all my neighbours in the leadership of my mom excavate the Indus Valley Civilisation Sites to find out whether the evil neighbour of ours had any hand in the destruction of the Indus Valley Civilisation, thousands of years back! All the years I laughed, they continued their work dutifully and perseveringly to find out something more, something better, something longstanding to prove their points to the coming generations or should we say posterity?! I laughed all my way to adulthood and continued laughing to this day thinking about all those Truth Finders & Archaeologists, led my dear mom, who spent most of their time and even life to give the coming generations with a clear idea of the Evil Neighbour that they live peacefully, ever after!

It is quite funny thinking of all those simple & good old days! All of our neighbours, including the evil one, were simple people who lived a day to day life, with no pretentions to the highest & powerful places. They were ordinary citizens of a very ordinary India. They didn't spent hours discussing All Those Larger Than Life Things & Happenings! They just simply lived their life, that’s all! But, when The Powers That Be & Media trumpet the name of an Impoverished, Backward & Inefficient Country Pakistan in every nook & corner of India, every second of the day & night for all the problems India faces, I find myself in a dilemma, not knowing whether to laugh or cry?! I often ask the question "What is there in Pakistan?" which makes it a destination to look at. I think, "Why should we look at Pakistan, always?!" Is it a country worth watching this much curiously, consuming time and closely?! I don’t understand why in each and everything we compete, think about, compare, discuss, accuse, take stand against, write volumes about, prepare counter methods, blast rhetoric against and do whatever we can do against this extremely impoverished, backward & pathetically underdeveloped country!

Agreed that Pakistan has unlawfully grabbed Indian land in J&K; and they have been waging a ghost/phantom war against India, for decades, buying weapons from all the possible sources! If this is the reason for our grouse, then, China has not grabbed less land from our country, unlawfully & shamelessly! It too has grabbed thousands of acres of land from our mother country. And, if this is not sufficient cause, it is in the best interest of all the Indians to know that it is this same good old "Bai Bai China" which is supplying Poor Pakistan with innumerable weapons -even nuclear things- that they Survive Somehow & fight their Phantom Battles! I don’t understand why should India look always backward (to Pakistan) when it can look forward with very little effort?! There are other neighbouring nations like Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan etc. that we can talk of and print in the fourth estate than packaging the fourth estate & media with the insignificant and stupid news-like-things of an utterly poor, fundamentalist-infested, pathetically backward country Pakistan!

Here, 'what we Indians can do for India other than what Pakistan did for India!' comes into the forefront. If we qualitatively think & do whatever is to be done and only think of the solid and positive aspects that is to done (Implementation of these good & positive things is also to be made a pre requisite) we will see an everlasting qualitative change in the Indian outlook. We should also learn a few and simple things like "Prevention is better than cure", "Don’t trust your enemies", "Learn from your (past) mistakes", "A stitch in time saves nine", "Strong words must be followed by strong deeds", "It’s only a fool will fall in the same trap a million times" etc. If &When we stop the rhetoric and start converting quality thoughts into action, and start to implement WHAT IS NEEDED, I think, there won’t be enough room in the media, press, political circles and most importantly in the minds of Indians to place the insignificant & unwanted (From a Quality Perspective) truck loads of the news-like-things about a backward, extremely impoverished & pathetically underdeveloped country Pakistan!
