Talking from the Heart - Mine to Urs

Ever feel like you're juggling two maps at once? One's a satellite view, all grand and sweeping; the other's a street map, crammed with tiny details. That's kinda like life, isn't it? There's the "cosmic" crowd, the ones who see life as a giant play, already scripted. We're just actors, following cues. Destiny, karma, the whole shebang...all about detachment. Like, "Yeah, I'm "in" this scene, but I'm not gonna get too attached to the props." It's a cool way to stay chill when life throws curveballs... So just " zoom-out ". Then there's the " zoom-in " folks. They're obsessed with the Now .... Every breath, every heartbeat, every fleeting thought. It's like they're on a perpetual nature hike, spotting the tiniest wildflowers. Nothing gets past them. This can lead to some serious zen moments, but hey, sometimes you just wanna binge-watch Netflix without analyzing your pop...

Love... It's a bit like that old record player, spinning out a tune that's both familiar and surprising maybe??!!  Some of us, we're like those Beatles lads, always "with our heads in the clouds and our feet on the ground." Some of us are like Kishore Kumar crooning "Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana" we see life as a thrilling journey, each twist and turn a chance for a deeper connection.  So with this theory, Introducing "The Reacher" as a young John Lennon, penning "Imagine" – always reaching for something more, something just beyond the horizon. They're restless, ambitious, forever chasing that elusive "something"...."And the world is turning and you're just hanging on," sings Bon Jovi, capturing the Reacher's spirit perfectly. They're not afraid to take risks, to "leap of faith" into the unknown, even if it means leaving behind the familiar and comfortable. The Settler, on the o...

First & Foremost to demonstrate how hopeless this illness is, I asked Bard to generate an image for this blog ...the F***ng king of LLM models could not!! Here's proof : The problem with love, let's do a deep dive :  1. Qualifying whether it's Love or a Problem, it can only be either. 2. It makes you overtly biased and illogical. Because emotions begin where rationality ends...both good & bad, moderate & extreme. 3. There is never a ROI, or ROE ...or even ROA ...damn thing is supposed to be unconditional and catch is if you think about it, it's not love. Do heck with love, fondness or any associated key metrics with it that's breaks ur spine, brings you down to your knees (not even in a good way) and basically makes you look like a complete stooge. Do what this smart ass world does about it..."lust" not love. Quick, easy, deceptive, non accountably venomous chaos. Flirt around, hook up, don't use your intelligence or empathy (if...

Dhyāyato Viṣayān: The Dance of Desire and Detachment is the electric tension between my Ephemeral Pleasures vs Eternal Quest and how I'm constantly trying to walk the Middle Path Inside my head, this is how I often imagine myself. (Disclaimer: all images generated here are using AI) Sitting here, lost in the complexities of life, I find myself playing a game of emotional chess while everyone else seems to be playing checkers. It’s like I’m navigating a board with infinite moves, trying to balance my desires and spirituality, while the rest stick to simpler rules, content with more straightforward paths. Talk about being an intentional stubborn pure Vaishakh Nandan aka donkey.  By the way, fun fact do you know why they are called so? Well, Donkeys enjoy summer season as they think that they have eaten All the grass in a particular area but the fact is that the grass becomes dry. It is observed by scientist that due to this psychology they gain weight. Hence if we refer Sanskrit ...

A little birdie told me (or rather, a cheeky alter ego named Mimi, my inner child whispered in my ear) that life, the universe, and everything might be a cosmic joke, why are u getting so flustered these days Ganguly?... Live a little, experience this chaos and loose the illusion that you have any control, never will.  What a hilariously absurd, mind-bendingly profound, soul-optimizing kind of joke is this , Mimi ? Is there a punchline? Well, that's where things get interesting.... Fancy a read ?  Gyaan 1# Is This Real Life, or Just Fantasy? Mimi, ever the philosopher, wondered if reality itself might just be a simulation. Lines of code in some alien computer, dictating our every move. If that's the case, does free will even exist? "No," Mimi declared, nonchalantly sipping her cosmic chai. "It's called bhavitavya ." Now, Mimi, despite her quirky humor, has a knack for deep insights. She believes our souls are like restless atoms, ...

I was watching Dr. Strange yesterday, the movie. It was quite a thought-provoking experience. One theme that resonated deeply with me was the idea of readiness and how we often aren't truly ready for what life throws at us until we face the inevitability of death.  This idea led me to a profound realization: life and death are not just parts of a cycle but are intrinsically interconnected. The moment we are born, we begin the process of dying, inching closer to that full circle. And yet, with death, we also see the potential for rebirth, suggesting that life and death are one and the same, continually feeding into each other. The realization ties into a broader spiritual perspective I've been contemplating—the interplay of Shiva and Shakti within us. Shiva, the embodiment of detachment and tranquility, stands apart from the cyclical nature of life and death, while Shakti, the dynamic, passionate energy, immerses herself in the flow of life, with all its desires and struggles. ...
