'Matrix'-a myth or a reality ?

Most of you must've seen the Keanu Reeves starred movie , the matrix trilogy . Well today's topic is in connection with the same concept . It was shown in the movie that the world in which we live is nothing but a designed fake , a mechanized abstract of the real world , wherein everything is programmed , all life is planned and follows a certain pattern . Every outcome is known , in fact there is not a single parameter which is unknown unlike in the real world .
If we were to know the details of every inch of our lives we would be in a constant terror each second trying to change our fate . But that's the beauty of human life , it is ambiguous , the outcome is unexpected and the fate is unknown .
Take an example of a cleaner , a janitor - its his duty to sweep the dirt , keep the world clean . But if you ask him if he wants to continue doing what he does for the rest of his life , you will hear an obvious NO along with sobbing details of his poverty . Now imagine if suddenly all the janitors , workers of the municipal cooperation were to vanish , what would happen ?
Well , we would either be living in a huge dump of garbage or we would have to get rid of it ourselves . But if we were to do that work , then who would do ours ? Take another example let's say of a farmer , we all know about the deteriorating and miserable conditions of farmers but if they were to quit their work , what would we eat ? We would then have to grow our own vegetables or survive on packaged food which I don't think would be a very good idea.
Thus any person of any grade doing any kind of work , be it a carpenter , a cobbler ,a launder , plays his/her part in this world . And except for Bill Gates(the richest man alive) if you ask any person if he wants to do what he does for the rest of his life he would reply negatively , and the only exceptions would be the ones who are either not ambitious or are comfortably enjoying life without any desires unfulfilled . But is this really possible ? Can human desires be satisfied ?
I don't know about this one but we are actually living in a designed way of life where everyone has a part to play . Everyone follows a certain pattern of life and sticks to it till termination via death .
But we do have exceptions like in the movie we had rogue members fighting for a real life . There are many who are not bound to live in a mechanical way as they fight to live their own lives . We often listen that the son of a poor farmer whose entire generation was stuck in agricultural grounds , qualifies a cut-throat examination and liberates his entire family by getting a job or something like that . Now what was a generation of farmers breaks the line and makes way for a new generation of lets say engineers . This is one of the simplest examples of breakers of social chainage of living a certain pattern of life . So through this distorted piece of writing I am just urging you not to live like a machine which runs on a particular set of instructions and has no mind of its own but to actually try and follow your heart to break the rules and discover an entirely different set of possibilities .

Father

This post is nothing out of the blue , it's just a naive effort to give gratitude to all the fathers around the globe .
If mothers are the roots that give nutrition then fathers are the thick canopy that provides a shadow . I am not going to describe the known and rather taken for granted responsibilities of a father but let us be thankful to all the dads out there who consider these responsibilities as compulsory duties and fulfill them .
We know the story of Eve and Adam and how women got the punishment of bearing the pain of childbirth whereas men were to struggle and sweat for existence . Every day our fathers toil to provide for us . We become the center of their dreams and desires and remain mostly unaware of all the sacrifices they make . For girls , their dads are no less than a super hero and for us , boys , at some point of life we may have our differences but at the end of the day we always strive to make them proud.
The thought of what will happen to the family after him,  haunts him every second after becoming a parent.  He is the protector , the provider and the patriarch . He is our role model . He is our insight into the world . Not only do we see the world through his eyes but we also try to become a part of it as he teaches us to be .Thus he is a teacher too . We try to incorporate his habits into us and become like him . We are known to this world by his name and he is the stairs to our success . He is not allowed to cry or to show weakness unlike mothers and so he never shares his burdens . He is forever dignified and stoic . He is firm and a disciplinarian . He is strict and somewhere its his fear that becomes the voice of reason in our heads and guides us .
In the end I'll only say that I have enjoyed seeing the world up from his shoulders and I pray for his good health .
Happy father's day - love you PAPA-Protector#Appreciator#Provider#Amiable

Past-Present-Future

I am sure all of you have had a time in your lives when you found it really difficult to let go of some bitter experiences of the past . Many of you must be struggling even now . Well today's topic might help you . I am not writing anything which you wouldn't already know , but accepting is more helpful that mere knowing .
We cling to our past just like the leaves on a tree . But ultimately they fall off and allow new green leaves to grow. Just like that we need to let go of our past to embrace new experiences and opportunities . We are never able  to forget the past but we cannot allow it to affect our present and to disrupt our future .
Past is history , future is a mystery , but today is a gift and that is why it is called Present - Kung fu Panda 
So we need to live in the present . The shadow of the past holds our present hostage so we need to escape from it to build our future . Past is dead , future is the unborn but present is the living which we need to focus upon . Sometimes we hold on to past so tightly that we miss a hug from the present . 
There is an ongoing eternal cycle of life and death and we live in between . Every minute we move closer to death so why waste even a minute of our life trying to hold on to something that is no more . Be it anything like the loss of a loved one , a broken relationship , an educational or career failure or any such wrong goings , they need to remain buried in the past . Instead of mourning over them we need to learn or take inspiration from them .
We have our eyes on the front because we are meant to look forward read new chapters of life .
So don't carry all the extra baggage from your past , lighten up and you'll feel that the journey of life becomes easier . Think for yourself , but remember don't over think .

Love-a showpiece ?

Today I am here to express my views on a rather common topic , love .
You will agree on the fact that the two things which primarily govern our world are - Fear and Money .
Take some time , ponder upon this and you'll realize that there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved using the two .
Love is just a showpiece in the grand scheme of life .
Like a house has showpieces in it for decoration , similarly love only plays the role of decorations in our lives . Money on the other hand is the very foundation on which a house rests. Some of you may disagree and vouch for this unexplained emotion to be above money but it is not possible to build your house on love , is it ?
The idea of Love is only applicable to those dinning in an air conditioned restaurant or those shopping in malls but for someone burning in 45 degrees it takes away even your hunger .
This is a very argumentative topic but the idea is to change perspectives and to see the other side of the coin .
Fear is the son of power and the grandson of money . If you have money , you have power and power is sufficient to strike fear in the hearts of men .
Thus , our world basically runs on fear and money .
Although there is one type of love which is beyond the clutches of this world and that is the limitless , ageless , fearless and unconditional love of a mother for her child .
But here's a fact- have you heard anyone use the term , a 'practical fool' ? Nah , instead it is an 'emotional fool' because being in love makes you vulnerable .
So don't give in to love , don't be emotional , be practical !

Driving Force

Today's topic is 'Driving Force (Df)'
This is not just force in some physical or scientific sense .
It has a deeper meaning to it . Simply it is the force that drives .
Every human being has a driving force . It is what makes a human live .
Let me explain -
A poor fellow strives to end his poverty . Thus poverty is his Df. Irregularities and anomalies of life are the driving forces .
Now there's an interesting activity -
Imagine a life completely of your choice , wherein all your dreams and desires shake hands with the reality . Now compare it to the life you are living . The reason of the differences between the two , the sources of those are the driving forces that drive you to achieve your 'Ideal life'. But we know that ideal conditions can never be practical .
Does it mean stop trying ?
Absolutely Not !
The trick is to drive the force instead of the other way around .
Set your goals and achieve them . Even if you fail , try again . There are some Df that we have no control over but we can shape them as per our will .
Food for thought !
