IDEA

We are told to remember the idea, not the man. Because a man can fail. He can be killed and forgotten. But four hundred years later an idea can still change the world. I’ve witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I’ve seen people kill in the name of them; and die defending them. But you cannot touch an idea, cannot hold it or kiss it. An idea does not bleed, it cannot feel pain, and it does not love.

Rules & Regulations... Phew!!!

What a day!!!!

When you work in a bank.. I'm sure it doesn't take long to understand the existence of stringent rules and regulations that exist... I still remember the time when i was a kid, not that its that long ago.. All that a bank did was hold your money for you... You could go there and either deposit or withdraw money. It was not as complicated as I now realise it to be..

And now that you work with a bank, you realise that the kind of rules and regulations created to hold other peoples money makes you want to pull your hair out... Laws to invest, laws for taxation, laws for creating quasi bodies to save money...

and then once you know the law, it is even more important to know the loopholes that are available.. and how it can be exploited to your advantage as a banker or an individual.. and how you choose to share this information with people and the mutual benefit derived...

The most complicated processes exist for something known as a TRUST.... by the looks and sounds of the term, a trust is simple, you entrust certain people with ur stuff... read money and god, processes are so many.. they are meant to simplify, but more often than not, we are so stuck in the quandry of processes and its loopholes that we end up creating complications.. so many that e are confused ourselves..

Boss why do we have rules and regulations in place??? will someone care to explain???

You may not be her first, her last or her only,

She loved before, she may love again,

She's not perfect, you aren't either,

and the two of you may never be perfect together,

Smile when she maked you happy,

let her know when she makes you mad...

and Miss her when she's not around.....

What is the need for companionship in human life form?

Is it possible to live out our lives singularly...

Have you ever considered the possibility that this thing we call "LIFE" we can be singular.... solitary... or not a part of this thing we have named society....

Why do we name things??

Is it because it gives us a sense of ownership? Is it because it allows the establishment of authority the right to state control over something... Is it because we want to be associated with certain people we like... that we are in a hurry to name the camaraderie or the comfort that is shared? Is it some deeply inground insecurity that forces you to do this? As yourselves??

I await learning from your experiences...

Till next time...

IMAGES SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS?

Well,
We always sit in front of images, watch them and have seen ourselves emote differently to different images. Each picture may draw reactions that are different from individuals?
Ever wondered why this was the way it is?

Is it just the wiring of humans, or is it the conditioning that one undergoes that makes you react the way you do?
Why has it been said that a picture can speak a thousand words? What is the essence of the image, that allows it to speak these words? I have failed to understand the rationale...
Why is it that in this thing we do everyday named existence is called LIVING??

Through this blog, I intend to understand, with inputs from everyone what is exactly this thing we call Life... and what is it that we intend to derive from it?

I understand that to each, the meaning they wish to derive from life is different.... but is it not just a movement from the cradle to the grave... this at the risk of sounding highly pessimistic... which i assure you I am not...

But here I am, looking for the meaning of existence and what we can do from it....

Till next time....
