Twiddling My Thumb Series - To The Neurons!

Twiddling my thumb - and literally so! Have been wracking my brain for a few words for weeks now but nothing! Had promised a ‘quick read’ to a friend for this new collab series but now my brain is completely on mute. And then something strikes..

Recently I heard from someone somewhere that irrespective of this drumming of all the individualistic uniqueness in ourselves, us humans are all wired in a very similar fashion, at least a major part of us are. Herd of sheep in a cattle field and blah blah! And once in a while, we all try to be this unruly goat, trying to be free and wild. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we potter around only to be tied back to the herd, chopped up and served in a fancy dish to savour! 

Anyway! So, that got me thinking. So really, the Q is do you want to be a free range chicken or a poultry fed one..err..sheep I mean..err..humans. And the bigger Q is - does it matter what you want? Unless you can really change your pre-built wiring! But the Q even bigger than that is - what do you do if you have a love-hate relationship with your own wiring!

P.S. Pardon this scrap! Neurons are struggling with a Missing Link issue!

Puri'2011 Back from Puri this morning. And yes! It has been different this time. I have been re-reading Lost Symbol even in Puri, so the book indeed had its effect and it still intrigues me in a certain way (as explained in the last post).  This time, I spent maximum time in the sea beach, thinking about ‘Lost Symbol-stuff’ (that inevitably leads to by-thoughts of philosophy, religion, culture, creed etc) and co-relating and arguing lot of imagery visions with real life and current happenings, even scientific revelations.   Somehow, I don’t know what to give credit to or blame on, but somehow something have led me to believe that there are certain things in the universe that is beyond scientific explanation or again as Brown says, science is not yet that advanced to explain it all.  I mean seriously, how can anyone explain the unbelievable mechanism of the solar clock of Konark! It mind boggles to realize that even in the 13 th century scientific perceptions were such

Life Of Pie    And like I said, I would be back to posting on similar stuff if I ever get flabbergasted again.   [ http://srijita-pal.blogspot.in/2011/06/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html ] Yes. Stirred.  This time by ‘Life of Pie’ – the story/movie. Though I regret not having read the book before watching the film, yet the treat to the eyes and the mind is fascinating. First of all, the direction and presentation of the movie is awesome. Its catchy, gives a rush in the adrenaline, tickles every human’s dormant dream of invading dangerous adventures, strikes the common psychological chord of animal-man bonding. Add to that, the 3D effects are delight to watch. So, even on a very superficial level, it would appeal to any non-deep thinkers as well as children. Hence, the movie is undoubtedly a commercial hit.     But, the bigger success of the movie comes from the underlying (in the literal sense of the word) story. [That credit should definitely

The crazy week followed by the best day of my life till date!  7 th Jan’2011! Well true. This year 1 st January wasn’t like all party, it was more of what happens next! Full of anticipation and a weird feeling…I don’t know how to describe that feeling in words. Honestly, I never thought getting a job or for that matter cracking an interview process is like the biggest deal ever, yes it’s huge but not like the end of life; but somehow unconsciously it got into me like hell. It’s not like I dig myself into the books 24X7, but a constant something went on pinching me. No I don’t know what that is! And I’m sure every one of us goes through this at some point of their life. It became crazy when I felt this whole thing is getting on my nerves. Even my parents would vouch for it. Never ever in my life I got so tensed! I know I needed to keep calm but without count I ended up shouting at my parents more often than ever, getting confused and making silly m
