World As I See It

I look outside the door there's so much to see,

to feel, but I don't, I'm so lost in me

I ride my bike but I really don't, thinking

of something else, I ride, but not on the road

there are so many stories that needs an ear

many running behind me, I walk past them

indifferently, problems that aren't mine

don't worry me, information overload

everywhere I see, unprocessed most of it

dumped all in back of my brains, goes on

my life and me. I look outside the door

there's so much to see, but someone came

this time, and knocked so hard on my head

whispered- you ain't dead, not yet

laugh a little, make someone too

there's much to see, so much to do

see outside everyday to reassure

your heart beats, and till it does 

let it not beat for a single purpose.. 

Look at everything. Don’t close your eyes to the world around you. Look and become curious and interested in what there is to see.

~ John Cage

Good and Evil

"He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
— Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

I've always wondered how brilliant minds fall prey to ills and evils ? How a person with high credentials and intellect slips deep down in their moral behavior? How our leaders and executives and all other people with great power and much greater responsibility go past their standards and do some heavy nasty things. 

Corruption, bribe, cheating are just the popular ones there are so many holes in their armors that it seems impossible to imagine that sometimes back, they used to hold one. How this transformation of good into bad takes place ? Is it an instant process or gradual ?

Men and women with great passion and hard-work pave their ways to high places. They turn their day n night in studying and creating a personality which segregates them from general mass. They are seen with respect, are tagged with wisdom, knowledge and discretion. Then how this well-informed, educated and trained mind gets distracted ?

Nobody is born bad. Initially we all are same delicate, childlike, spotless innocent creatures. Than what makes us good n bad ? Is it the genetic make-up, deeds we do, things we say or the people around us ? Is there no way of knowing, detecting and sensing this braniac pollution? When and how its going to attack ? Its symptoms or side-effects ?

Questions are many and so are the answers. But none helps. This monster is growing, and its growing with speed higher than ever. Some are resistant, some are resilient. But for how long ? We all know how great technologies which we proud today, helping us in building our nation, uniting it and controlling it, can be used disastrously if got in wrong hands. How some people bend rules. How the laws and rights are misused ? How the data [which we believe to be encrypted and super-safe] collected in the name of protection and benefits and fast and easy transactions holds the capability of stalking and monitoring our each and every move ?

How the things/rules/laws and people which were once good turn into some friendly monsters. Those who are fighting against it, how long before they fail to abstain ?

PS: Sorry for not being so active these days. Got exams... But, will be back again soon. Till than tckr !!!

Blind Faith

We all got fantastic lives but there are times when we face odds and than we seek refuge in "something". This "something" has got infinite names and appearances, however in reality it has no physical existence. 

But we always fall for it and take a leap of faith whenever needed and without an exception every single time we survive. This faith in "something" gives us enormous energy to fight off any possible opponent. 

Apparently, this Blind Faith gives most visible n most felt results. 
Strange but true. 

I wonder 

What's the power behind ??

Which makes us

believe some non-sense.

But we derive 

a sense out of it

and unwind. 

Gather courage

to flip the game 

confusion, chaos 

get it

arranged, aligned.

No one knows

if its illogical 

or creatively designed.

The process,

a mystery 

something beyond

mankind.

Still we believe it 

like an ardent student 

or I can say it

like a blind.
