The Waking of Kumbhakaran

After the debut, I took an unwanted break from blogging owing to the complexities in life. So, I have tried to come up with something new to establish myself into the world of Blogging.

So..here we go...


The Waking of Kumbhakaran


The State of Flickering Eyes..
Overhead sun shining bright
Refusal of the tired mind
Losing conscious again...

Tortoisical mind racing for vigour
Forecasting barrels, Dreaming Bonker
Lasting just a Mayfly's lifetime,
Finishing behind, the very starting line.

Unconquered territories, unfulfilled challenges
Stillness of the eyebrows, off the very scales
We've become the brothers of Kumbhakaran,
Dreaming big, of being the Karan.


Meaning:-

It all begins with the morning light. Waking up in the morning everyday, my eyes flicker for a few seconds, so does my mind, just to get closed off again. The powerful infra red radiations don't seem to possess enough wavelength and energy to penetrate deep into my conscience, and hence, I behave like a mirror, reflecting all, taking none.

As my consciousness competes with the speed to that of a tortoise, I try filling myself up with the 'Josh'(Passion), so that I could end up doing something useful in the day. Thereby, I think of what great things I could do today and count the obstacles that may arise in my way. But,this feeling lasts for just a Mayfly's lifetime(Mayfly's have the shortest life),and yet again, I enter the state of lackadaisicalness(I possess a permanent domicile in this state).

In spite of that, I am unperturbed by challenges in life. The neurons in my brain are programmed to remain in the 'State of Coolness'(another domicile)under any condition of pressure (Please verify this by a Barometer). Its quite often, that you see two States fighting over matters such as sharing of natural resources, funds from the centre, etc, and astonishingly, my own two states ( Lackadaisical state and state of Coolness) usually have an altercation over each other's domination power over me. The game between them usually hangs in balance as they are the fundamental units of my inner being. For a better understanding of the last paragraph, please watch Ramayana and Mahabharat in detail.


P.S. I don't intend to degrade or praise myself through my blogs. They are just a set of emotions/unknown activities which everyone goes through everyday in a life. I just try to bring them out via internet technology.

The Debut

In the age of facebook, where the fb'ers(facebookers) google quotes to set them as their status messages, in order to get some likes and comments, I prefer to go the blogging way to get some online popularity.

Definitely, not the much awaited blogger, is making his debut, on a day when I feel self motivated to scribe something of my own. Probability is one of my favourite topics in Mathematics, and if I define an event as: I am a blogger; the occurrence of the event is almost equal to zero. But then again, who doesn't try at all is more of a failure than who fails while trying. So, I'd prefer to be the latter.


Ambivert and shy describe me the best. Filled with high optimism and enduring patience, I live the carefree way. Scarcely troubled by tough situations in life, as I believe in the motto, that life has to get better one day. I sure have belief in Karma. I believe, you pay for your misdeeds and get rewarded for the good ones in the very same life. A little bit of introversion induces me to critic myself on my thoughts and actions at every iota of a second in a minute of an hour in a day of the month in a year. I believe, knowing yourself as an individual is the greatest achievement in life, and that's where the critic in you helps.

God has carefully grafted our organ system, keeping in mind the nature of the human being. He gave us two eyes, one for simple viewing and the other to certify what you see. Similarly two ears, one from which u hear any sound and the other ear amplifies it to bring out the clarity in what you hear. Brain, which plays the most crucial role in human relationships again, has two parts, left and right. Speaking bluntly or being too superficial is the symptom of using your brain in scarcity and excessiveness, respectively. And if you're too lazy to use your brains, God has manufactured a specially designed emergency system for everyone to think, which is the Heart. Yes, it too is divided, i.e, into Atrium and Ventricle. Even, our mouth is divided into two sections with the help of a tongue. If the tongue didn't flip in both the sections, our words would have had no clarity and would result in nothing but cacophony. So, in every case, one part acts as a critic to the other, but with a condition- you ought to utilize each of your resources. By knowing yourself, you direct all of your positive energy in the appropriate direction with minimum rejection. Even, Abraham Maslow, popular for his hierarchy of needs model, has placed self actualization at the top of the pyramid. This itself proves the ultimate goal of human existence.


Being my first ever attempt to write something meaningful (barring the litany I wrote in my exams, and to be honest they weren't meaningful either), I am bound to mention some cricket here. It’s my only passion which I have played, followed and preached selflessly since I started watching and playing the greatest sport ever (Ain't football for me). My exploits in cricket have been average but I have enjoyed every moment I dedicated to it, on or off the field.


My cricketing attributes shall be worth mentioning: A left handed opening batsman, with the built of Venkatpathy Raju ( Nickname: Muscles), batting stance resembling to that of Curtly Ambrose (the famous 6 foot 6 West Indian bowler), a fielder of similar stature to Ashish Nehra and Munaf Patel, an ambidextrous bowler ( This isn't meant to be a positive quality for me. Since I chuck right handed, I am now a part timer left handed dibbly dobbly off spinner). Batting, hence, has to be my forte if I compare it to my inexplicable ability in other departments. I pretty much dream myself as Sir Rahul Dravid, but I bat more like Albie Morkel,Klusener,and co. ( I'm just giving a comparison, don't even bother yourself thinking I'm up to their level). But, I back myself in pressure situations, although I may falter many a times, I never tend to lose my never say die attitude, and that can match Jumbo's spirit (Anil Kumble).



A Jack of few trades, but that neither demoralizes me, nor makes me feel satisfied by my present accomplishments. I don't intend to be a leader, nor a laggard; I aim to walk my own path on my set pace.



I don't ever want to be in the limelight. I just want some lime, and some light/electricity at home, so that I could prepare, a cool and refreshing lemonade, to deal with this scorching heat.

Cheers.


P.S The starting and the ending paras are contradictory. That is what life is.
