Thoughts triggered by a crash

Today is Tuesday, May 25, 2010! Three days back i.e on Saturday, May 22, 2010, 158 persons were killed when a plane of Air India's low budget carrier from Dubai with 166 on board overshot the runway at the airport in Mangalore.

The event left me haunting with several questions and many realizations! I woke up that day around 7:30 in the morning only to be welcomed by the ghastly pictures from the crash site on TV! The days that followed news papers carried many articles about the same. The media seemed to have a merry time cashing on the event! Not their fault every business is here to make profit!

But personally It only reinforced the fact that we human beings are very small at the end of the day, immaterial how successful and rich we may evolve to be in life! There are many things that you can't gain control on! Call it destiny or whatever word you choose!

Then again ..........

Well I had left this one incomplete.... today is 06 June 2010... It has been 12 days since I last attempted to write it & post it.....

So has my views changed over the last week? No!!!! Its time we try to realize man can try to play god with all his mind but Man can never be God.... creating synthetic cells and infusing life in them in a laboratory... claiming to create life.....I'm not referring to the god of any particular belief... for me he is the unseen omnipresent force...

Brutal materialistic world leaves no space for my creative thoughts at times... stuck between pursuit of happiness of free thoughts and the struggle to stay firm footed in the maddening world of corporate... my thoughts seem a little hazy... but in days to come the haze will disappear... clarity will emerge... I will find balance between the two world... after all my thoughts of heart don't translate into money... but my hard work does pay me for my survival...

Cheers and peace.... signing out ~ VJ

Emotions Are Timeless, So Is Love !

The flight had to make an emergency landing owing to the bad weather. After ten long years Sanjeev had finally decided to take a vacation. Akash had convinced him during a casual chat on Facebook the previous night that it was high time he broke out of the self imposed shell and fourteen hours later he was on his way to meet his childhood friend in Delhi.

Awakening Of the Inner Self!

It was yet another  Friday  or billions of earthlings. May be it was a mundane day ahead for some and exciting for others. An exciting day ahead for the ones who were certain of the joy to be unwrapped the next day, the weekend. Well, in my case it was the former. Blame it on being one amongst the many who work on Saturdays.
