faSting

    The word fasting very often comes with a sting..hum! has different interpretations/strings of motives attached into it. Interestingly it is often used widely when related /refereed to faith/health. I kissed my daughter on her cheeks in the afternoon and walked away..she turned around and commented sheepishly, now what is the motive behind Appa! tell me. Do I have to stop watching Matelda,the movie she was watching / is it a reminder call to get involved into some basic normal chores. As a father how do I define the question/answer, when there was no strings attached to this act of affection, answered her back posing another counter question. Muthu what is more precious an unconditional priceless act/a very valuable thing!? Think over it, and left the spot blank for her to fill into. May be sometime later she might understand/reflect on  the statement if she heard which I made/she might have simply ignored as one among the many statement/words pouring and hovering around her daily be it at/in the house/school/church. There is a natural instantaneous ignorant tendency to link every act/word towards an underlying submerged objective/agenda. Might be wondering by now,what has this got to do with fasting. My point is..Does God need human penance/starvation/fasting!? Does humans need God's attention/guidance/blessings.. when the call/benchmark is to make heaven on this earth !? Very much like a blood test/X-ray recommended or being prescribed/conducted to probe deeper into/clarify the submerged facts within for the unwarranted symptoms/ailments to help come out with a practical, current treatment regime/solution for the underlying submerged cause than to be treating the symptoms, thus to resolve/subside it to the limit possible, within once available means/awareness capacity, in the process aiming and working collectively/symbiotically towards the very optimal perfect outcome, is the very essence/flavor of the word fasting.
    In this season of lent for the Christians who are encouraged/reminded to undertake fasting/penance  suggested as an act of internal reflection/mind purification/soul probing quest. Undertaking spirituality to be built around the understanding of body/mind/soul..where the mind and the soul is/are encapsulated within the body, the body which is made up of flesh/blood which functions/grows depending on the quality/quantity of input/discipline provided/trained/tuned into it, which we call/understand as the personality/character of the individual/person. Reminded today of a question paused by one of my dear friends. Does a person have to follow any/a religious path/guideline to do everything what/which is appropriate/socially acceptable/lawfully accurate!?Very similar to my reasoning, as to should I send my children to school/church to be educated/enlightened/reminded/reassured, since I have already undertaken the path, and is reasonably well informed/aware and might as well impart it to them personally,is my underlined reasoning/understanding to the above question/belief. If willing/eager/knowledgeable enough is the best option available any time/any where. The role of a trained honest doctor/priest only becomes relevant/fruitful if the patient/seeker has trust/faith in the judgement/reasoning of the person seeking assistance from. To reason that the doctor is/has been first diseased and overcome the situation with his treatment guidelines, prior to his prescription/treatment regime is a nave/unreasonable way of undertaking any adamant stand on any/many issues under brightness/darkness.
    Fasting is thus only a practice tool kit to rehearse within self  the vast theoretical gathered knowledge pool of virtuous outlook/guidelines to be transformed into a practical format, kind of like practicals conducted in a miniature version in/at lab scale based on the theoretical understanding of science at/in schools and colleges. This theoretically deployed translated into practical undertaking, will eventually help built up focused endurance/sustenance of once spiritual beliefs/health objectives, to finally overcome/withstand hurdles called temptations/negativeness which spiritually called as 'sin' which to me is, sinking in negativeness. This tool earnestly try to identify/help one locate the cause of sin, and fight it back with understanding/awareness of its nature built on perseverance/determination, than to let the obstacle/weight sink the individual/get them exploited in the name of  timely detected interventions/blessings.  Fasting is a very practical process/voyage encouraged for all, which comes along with a slight sting called sacrifice. A controlled/managed sting or bite has various medicinal property, attributed towards various treatment/aliment management/mitigation. Fasting which will/can be controlled/managed with persistence/time, like within any other activities linked/related to our daily now imbibed casual chores as within sports/work related efforts/environment, which needs only two words translated into action namely will/introspection . A women approached lord Buddha, the supreme master who dedicated himself probing deeper within self, trying to understand/interpret the behavior of the body/mind in its totality, through the medium of meditation/abstinence/fasting the oath of many monks/priests built on the foundation of poverty/chastity/obedience and asked for his blessings/guidance to attain/posses happiness, the ultimate submerged purpose/objective of every living person/soul. The sentence goes like this "Women, I Want Happiness. Buddha, first remove 'I' that is ego then remove 'Want' that is desire, see now you are left only with happiness."
     Two thousand years ago, regarded as God in flesh himself, fulfilling the promise offered to mankind by translating his words given through prophets/holy saints by becoming an avatar/incarnation as one among his beings, to further clarify/define the path of how to behave, becoming human, incarnating himself as a person among his creatures. It is said that he undertook/resorted towards fasting for forty days and forty nights, after fasting a spirit tempted him with the whole treasures/pleasures/powers of this world and he denied/rejected them all humbly. A gentle good reminder that where there is light/action then only there is a shadow/reaction. When/Where ever people called/looked upon him, during his time, he was a champion lion for/to the leapers,prostitutes,suppressed outcasts and a beacon of hope to/for the sick and the needy and was a gentle lamb to the proud,arrogant,powerful law enforcers/makers of the time. Left behind with the legacy/memory to be reflected/imbibed/implemented. Now being reflected/missions undertaken through the understandings/interpretations derived through lessons drawn from his birth as parables/miracles/passion/resurrection by organised groups named Christians. Traditionally now being instituted/built on The Eucharist the foundation, the soul purpose for the gathering inside a home called the church, which/where is the commemoration/celebration/reflection on the body/blood ,called life style guidance of their guide is being reassured/reminded. Body signifying the physical flesh, to reflect what he did/how he utilized his physical strength/mind for humanity within this format, referring/highlighting towards which causes/vision he intended towards. The blood which scientifically speaking, nourishes/cleanse/defends the body, reminding his followers to undertake the virtuous means/path of righteousness/honesty/purity. After all the means undertaken will/would justify the ends met, a modest call to think reflect/modify on the path. Everything built on a single commandment/word on his life called Love, thus compiling all the old interpretations of primitive faith/practices into a single sentence/platform 'To love once neighbor as yourself'.. for the betterment of self and as a benchmark for the next generation, thus to be at peace within self/for others.
    What do I gather/find around to this guideline/interpretation/act being followed/practiced by his followers in the current century named traditional practices/preservation..to witness bishops/priests/layman/ including myself promoting abstinence/restraints in the name of charity/goodwill but to undertake/practice otherwise. Once out of the podium, when the curtain is drawn down to stipulate, what is the need/use of fasting, when the seed is sown and God is with/among us. What is the manure/water/environment for the seed/people to sprout/grow into built/composed on/of!? Is the nature of self introspection/discipline one has to be drawn into/towards. Worth to be reminded of his message/instructions to his fellow disciples/followers not to be like the hypocrites/law maker of his time, to have different yard stick for themselves/others. What he did through himself, within his human version  is clearly the guideline outlined for all, nothing more/less to my understanding/undertaking. Went and fasted/meditated for 40 days and night without any food/water. How is this humanely possible/tool deployed to attain this transcendental elevated level of consciousness/well being.(Luke 4:1-13;Mat 4:1-10) worth being ignorant/denying the truth.
    The soul objective/primary intention of fasting is simply but to accomplish self discipline over once bodily senses, often refereed simplistically to have a limit over gluttony/greed..which is spiritually imbibed into/compartmentalized as fragmented segments purifying/rectifying sense perception of seeing/hearing/smelling/tasting/touching. Once to have disciplined/overcome, the body is ready to focus within the mind for the betterment/course correction towards the sanctity of the soul. Being 'now' systemically  and ignorantly diluted/polluted in the name of charity/arms giving/good gestures. Reminded of a saying 'Give me a fish I eat for a day,teach me to to fish and I eat for my lifetime' the current spiritual system/guidelines/interpretations seems to be encouraging a scenario, where the means undertaken to achieve the objectives/material desires seems to be systemically/ignorantly  overridden in the name/format of charity/generosity/compassion for the poor/needy eventually blurring the whole idea/intention of fasting, the former given more prominence to the later. Thus now very often, unfortunately to witness a partially blind leading a flock of blind flocks in deeds/actions is the reality/fact to comprehend into knowingly/unpleasantly in the name of organised religion. Very often interpreted/felt  like  to make statements/be a cheer leader/coach without feeling/undertaking the pulse of the content under impact/consideration. How can a child/person understand the sincere depth of starvation/poverty and be honestly connected/linked  to the reality to be reassured/reminded again if not undertaken by self at least periodically is the underlying final verdict. Our expectations are very often like expecting  a bulls eye target/ clean boundary/3 pointer/perfect touch down, without much training/discipline in the concerned arena of the game/fellowship.
    Fasting is undertaken by different communities in different ways/manner. The primary objective of which is to be making good humane judgments prudently at the opportune circumstance/moment when prompted/duly desired, than to be thinking I should have said/done like this and eventually to feel sorry for the ignored/missed opportunity to the covered ignorance shrouded within. The classic expression/undertaking witnessed now is to see one give up their favorite food/object,substance of desire/ push once basic needs and wants to a later period of time.. in the process expected to be reflecting on  vitreous taught/deeds to be reassuring/reminding/reinforcing oneself to be within once promises perceived holistically/spiritually. The food habit of individuals are worth refreshing/pondered upon while fasting, some are born herbivorous/carnivorous and the major majority fall in between them, after all the basic life mantra/fact being, one life can only sustain another life and every living creature is  interdependent on each other for their survival/sustenance. The responsible ideology/value one possess to utilize the other prudently/respectfully/prayerfully defines the imbibed quality of the person/society/culture/tradition. The process of self introspection is expressed/manifested/translated in various ways, by different undertakers some displayed in public, witnessed to be wearing rugs/sprinkling ashes on their body to denote the inner status of their mind/being.When perceived from a spiritual/holistic dimension its a very challenging/humbling projection of the current status of the mind within, to the onlookers/passengers walking by them to be perceived as an effort taken by the concerned individual for a better self/person within their limitations/circumstances..a cautious/gentle wake up call for all passengers/onlookers reminding to look inward to project out/give out the best submerged within all. Its a simple call/reminder/act to be a ray of light/hope in the wilderness of darkness/hopelessness within self/for others, which we translate ignorantly as depression/poverty.
    The reality being unless the body/its senses are controlled/disciplined reproduciblity of any godliness/holistic principles are a strain/agony in its making.. to otherwise fade/wile away like a seed scatted on rocky/sandy/thorny environment. If otherwise one undertake/succeed in this  endeavor willingly/honestly without any real intentions/objectives added to the fasting, on a periodic basis has a good chance  of knowing,controlling his/her mind and leave behind a speck of good memories to be called a genuinely  decent deserving soul to be a pleasure/honor in the company of deserving personalities to be called a genuine human being.Thus to my underlying observation so far, fasting is a very powerful mantra/tool/guideline offered to their fellow followers, be called a Christian/Hindu/Muslim or within any other denomination, who are eventually knowingly/unknowingly seeking the path into godliness a noble invitation for all, a venture set aside to understand/control once body/mind and sanctify/propel once soul into/towards a brighter better present/future for themselves and for others surrounding their sphere of influence. Fasting if one research back/now will be marveled to realize that was/is been undertaken by the  vitreous/non virulent for many reasons, interestingly referring/reflecting back inwards towards self discipline/passionate quest.The progress of which would be very identical to mastering the progression in mathematics, starting with addition,subtraction,multiplication and then finally ending up with division. That is to say the progression in the spiritual context starts/end  with control over the senses,body,mind and then the soul.
    The rational/logic behind fasting is not any different to a drained battery within a cellphone, to be recharged using an external support to be plugged/drawn towards the source of energy called electricity/power to be recharged/reused towards positive/negative deeds, is then once call/choice. Worth remembering in the process that the electricity we utilize has a positive/negative charge along with a neutral phase to be deemed useful/safe.. no charge/phase is big/small/useless.Worth reminding to self humbly that, there is an environment for improvement/betterment even within the best presumed minds/communities, and built once outlook on the fact that every mind is unique with different enriched/stored treasures with an aptitude to learn/develop from towards a better present/future. The wise understands rational behind this statement and the ignorant pride in their temporary progress. After all the proof is submerged within the quality not the quantity of the pudding when tasted/utilized. Fasting encountered/witnessed very often is being thus finally linked towards, good health/miracle/power/knowledge in our day to day life. To conclude, with the classic undertaking of/from most of all the major religious principles/spirit suggesting.. "Seek/Know the truth and the truth will set you freE."

ecOnomics

During this season of winter, when fallen souls/saints are remembered rewinding their memories/accomplishment towards their family/community/humanity , by some groups universally around this time of the year. Memories/Deeds branding as/was a honest hardworking individual, leader/saint..among the many casual common circumstantial followers. Ironically some popular now with visibility/bandwidth,when alive were left to grind in poverty/despair, later to be labelled out with priceless economic utility value. The living, seldom denying the crowned privilege/path left behind by the now holy souls, to self/their offspring's towards the present deserving realistic action unfolding, not very different from the past, but often created/marketed/propelled under a different commercial applications logo. I thought of scrambling/etching down few of my current perspectives on a topic. The science/game of the  law of supply and demand which is fairly understood/utilized/exploited in the name of a word coined economics. Economics uses two other words to fit into its binary running platform termed needs/wants. Echoing out implications of behavioral pattern for humanity/region under its impact/interpreted versions/guided sketched optimized presumed calculated dimensions. In its very totality one end up at a juncture, when often future uncertainties defines and dictates the norm of today, in the name of sustainability/accountability/prosperity in the process not cherishing the present nor  letting/paving way/room to cherish in the future at the pace humanity dreams of a should be scenario, very often clinging on to the resources/opportunity under disposal . Which is cherished/complicated repeatedly by some so called resourceful/educated/key holders. In the process misery/hierarchy celebrated and trumpeted in the name of democracy/autocracy/capitalism/communism most of which ironically has the same rhyming ending pattern, if keenly observed/interpreted/analyzed. A few segregating/fencing natural resources/demographics in the name of practicality/optimality for the majority to revolve around and play by its guidelines, else face the consequences in the name of embargo/sanctions/devaluation/restrictions on xyz. Thus economics has become a tool with/for a few alpha dominated resourceful/powerful being interpreted/felt by the impacted as the loudest/only option available to live with/perish. Ironically the current understanding of economics towering high on the backbone/applause of the inflicted victims, deemed underprivileged/loyal followers striving hard to make it there. Once within, to reap the benefits of too powerful to be denounced wrong/go underwater, thus lifted up by the economic buoyancy of overriding/underwriting stipulating too powerful to be submerged for economic sustainability/long term progress and growth.
Highlighting just one issue here today with a case study,one can extrapolate it towards many other issues based on this outlook/understanding. The latest statistical report, by the way again a tool applied/manipulated intended to show arithmetic accountability/progress/status..stipulated that the second most populated nation on our globe, where some of its states/provinces have populations enough to equal  the third, forth biggest nations on this planet, this nation produces enough food to meet its demand three fold than it needs every year and has sufficient buffer capacity to meet unprecedented shortfalls if need be, unfortunately also have the  largest starvation/poverty on this planet, nevertheless to witness here a sizable majority scrambling for their daily nutritional requirement.Very often to rationalize this 'tangible' plague  is streamlined/conveniently ignored and priorities of petty egocentric trivial 'abstract' issues of moral contents/ideologies dominate the main stream politics/economics of the day. Not just thus the forum/issue of  one nation but at large to be deemed developed/under developed. The educated/qualified trained and molded to compete and evolve out to lead the show, thus promising /prioritizing the rational of  fear/hatred/narrowness  over tangible needs of basic needs, called food/clothing/shelter/health care. Thus the economics of the day often ultimately broiling down to highlight primarily authority/visibility objectives, to its intended purpose/value addition be deemed social/holistic in its content/interpretation to ultimately support the weight of a few on the pyramid of a chart called patriarchy/hierarchy. In the name of majority understanding/practicality/fact the present political/spiritual playing the same old game, in the name of convenience/application presumed and imposing to be of strategic/of utility value, debating and focusing on division tactics /fencing objectives be within any hemisphere of once livelihood. Same old to be often witnessed in a different format, offered in the name of rotating democracy/opportunity to be within the honey/nectar pot of influence/power to fulfill the assigned/intended objectives claimed in the name of change/widened possibilities.
If the skin/boundaries did not matter and a smile/joy had a valuable literal face value, this world would have been a different platform today to debate/evolve out towards, considering its enormous resources/potentials be linked to natural/human . The evolution of money, the tangible matter/substance of transaction/trade had witnessed its fair evolutionary process, starting with the barter system/metals/to the current tech driven abstract algorithms, driven under the pretext of legal trust. If we have reached/accomplished this far scientifically/technologically within every hemisphere of our livelihood ,at this juncture a dream for basic reasonable/quality guaranteed assurance for food/clothing/shelter/healthcare should not be far behind, to be devised/worked assuring for all of its unified global citizens, hoping not very far away with a quantum known as time, weather deserving/undeserving without any room for strategic,so called educated logical judgement/analysis, but to be mandated/offered as a basic human right/privilege.  My belief/stand today points to the basic fact, there is room even within the most evolved/developed minds and systems be educational/social/political/philosophical name it..to be further refined/polished if one has literally understood 'two' words lifE/lovE

paRenting

    True/False.. A child is often the reflection of their parent(s)/circumstances/surroundings and the nature of their upbRinging/underStanding..which very often dictates/radiates their insight/character/actions/fruits. There is/are always opportunities to evolve/change towards the better, as we often hear/say to be the change, once exposed to the truth/substance of content, else its a blatant excuse of convenience/lack of will/encouragement/motivation. The art/science/economics of parenting is very often like the farmer who scattered/sowed seeds on the ground 'some' fell/sown on rocky grounds/among thorny bushes/sandy ground/fertile soil..one can easily predict  the fate of the seeds with time/circumstances into. The farmer to be linked to parent(s)/culture/nation, the seeds/fruits to their children/nation's people. The nature of soil/opportunities to the quantitative 'quality' of cultural upbringing/national priorities and their ethical guidelines/surrounded friendship,relationship values very often entangled/submerged within/for. 
Cutting/Copying/Pasting some pooled experiences/suggestions on parenting guidelines which I bumped into. Courtesy, one of the face book post's. 
If your child lies to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behavior. 
If your child is not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you've lost them. 
If your child had poor self-esteem, it is because you advice them more than you encourage them. 
If your child does not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.
If your child takes things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you don't let them chose what they want.
If your child is cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.
If your child does not respect other people's feelings, it is because instead of speaking to your child, you order and command them.
If your child is too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehavior and you give little attention to good behavior.
If your child is excessively jealous, it is because you only congratulate them when they successfully complete something and not when they improve at something even if they don't successfully complete it.
If your child intentionally disturbs you, it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.
If your child is openly defied, it is because you openly threaten to do something but don't follow through.
If your child is secretive, it is because they don't trust that you won't blow things out of proportion.
If your child talks back to you, it is because they watch you do it to others and think its normal behavior.
If your child doesn't listen to you but listens to others, it is because you are too quick to make decisions.
If your child rebels it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right or wrong.

    After reading through, summarizing  parenting which to me now is very much more of an art, linked to common sense/apt presence of mind.The vital ingredients/tools required for reasonable/responsible parenting is/are 'unconditional'..  expectation(s)/dedication/attention/honesty/sincere and faithful  patience.  Parenting has very little to do with material wealth/possessions but purely/abundantly built on faith/trust.. understood commonly by the common, as the naturally inclining cultivated aura/delight within self to be a parent. After all a child only need/expect from their parent(s)/synthesizer(s) these basic requirements/essentials namely, protection/nourishment/upbringing for roughly about 15% of their livelihood, assuming an average individual can survive unto 70 years, under present evolved physical/mental/developed technological circumstances. 
Thus one end up seeing/observing parent(s) aping/reflecting four distinct animal characteristic personalities/traits, which we can easily associate to/at various developmental stages of their parenthood,namely the monkey(1-5 years)/horse(5-10 years)/donkey(10-22 years)/dog(22 years and above) and interestingly their children will be imitating/portraying the reverse nature of this cycle to their relative point in age/time. The byproduct of all the labor/care given is 'sometimes' reciprocated as gratitude/gestures of honorary courtesy/materiel support, in desperate/lonely hours of need(s)/want(s).The rest are all abstract sweet/bitter.. memories/ lessons,which are left behind depending on the quality of their instilled virtue.Thus the mega serial theatrics of/on paRenting can be very much  visualized/observed to the relationShip between a tenant/land lord within naturE

beaUty

    During a casual conversation with my daughters, bumped on the subject beauty, which crept into the sentences by coincidence, when talking about some cosmetic items and external decorations to highlight/stand out special/elegantly in the crowd of many likes. Happened to say to them, I think the most important jewelry in once life is once body, preserve/cherish/nourish them with basic common hygiene/commonsense no amount of jeweler/cosmetics can substitute them. The four most vital priceless jewels of our body are the skin/hairs/teeth/nails cannot  be comparable to any golden robe/expensive silk fabric/pearls/diamonds, thus preserving and caring for them, as it is provided/intended for is the prudent biggest treasure one should aspire to accomplish/cultivate within first. The remaining are all just tag on and thrive on the later quality/existences only. Priorities the objectives first to the contents later, if applicable/appropriate, which are definitely appealing/attractive and not denying the basic fact the tags often add economic sense/value for sustenance. Very often to eventually end up in situations covering the content/product with a substandard ugly mask/cover in the name of durability/protection, to the intended beauty towards acknowledgement/appreciation actually purchased/possessed for, and then eventually trash the beautifully designed merchandise into the bin/recycle, when a new product is released is often once imbibed understanding/undertaking of utility value/beauty in itself. Fortunately unexpectedly received a nod and a consent today, knowing well its often easy to say/appreciate than to put contents/perspectives into real context, where it appropriately suites/fits to be diligently applied. The same sense/essence to beauty/utility value applied towards building/procurement of a house/wants in life, dictates the depth of awareness of once self understanding/priorities towards once basic needs/wants which finally defines once maturity/preparedness in every relevant context to be equated to beauty at large. Often valuable/priceless beauty is hidden within small free junctures of unconditional gratitude/sharing/loving/caring/adjustments in life, when offered with a pure unadulterated smile.
    In real life we will end up encountering/will be one of theses three personalities, appreciating/understanding/becoming the essence of beauty. Thus for the first category life  is a journey not a destination it goes on and they are often simple/exploring/open minded they frame understandings/modify/correct/upgrade and will find joy/delight in almost everything they encounter, not attributing values to the things/tools but for the unanticipated event in itself. But for the second  it is all about gathering/accumulating/standing out among the many like minded,to be accomplished by any means, some simplify it to being educated/qualified/hardworking/practicing hard the typical branded words/statements from such personalities, they are often occupied/busy and work tirelessly towards the focus set in mind, and they often end up with material piles/collections and devote once life to preserving/treasuring them, often end up becoming a slave to the emotionless possession.The third category will neither fall in the first nor the second they are individuals who will sail with the current/wind under their present circumstances/opportunities and the majority personalities will fall under this category, who often doesn't have an opinion/understanding/choice are often guided/lead.. the most convincing/flashy/providing individuals, will rule over the sense/essence of perception of beauty over these characters.
    The basic essence of beauty in life/once understanding lies submerged in once awareness of this basic miracle/fact that life is inter/intra depended, no creation is smaller/bigger than the other. This beauty/quality/quantity of submerged thought will eventually blossom out as once way of life, translated simply as taught/words/actions. Simply when  knit together, translates into a simple overstated sentence, that one gathers what one sows/plants be it in a family/community/nation at large. Often to realize the beauty/value of taken for granted possessions/health when shaken/lost. Sufferings/persecutions to thus dictate the submerged quality of the being. Often these opportunities/circumstances to give way into a different evolution/dimension/substance to once usual casual/boring undertaking/thinking to branch out into something special/different to that once normal monotonous way of life, is the beauty of this outcome called suffering/pain, when taken within, with the right perspective/attitude. Which some define as the evolution/transformation of the undertaking, situations,understandings/being in itself.
    Living in a generation/understanding where one advertise/nourish/treasure/market things to the person intended, in the name of self-esteem/visibility, often forgetting.. Who/What is important in the rush, the product/the user. The glitter/litter to dominate/mask over the common righteous beautiful understanding of the basic truth/fact. The submerged undertaking/understanding is very often identical to seeking/asking, why can't one be just simply righteous/good/vitreous without attributing it to a unseen  misguided abstract creator. If so to wonder, what is the requirement of unconditional/priceless emotions to be attributed into an often perceived/understood/burdensome/nonprofitable relationship called parents/siblings/children/dear associates as cosmetics/jewelry to our body/parts. Priorities and to put things into the right perspective is where one has lost with this evolved developed/superficial/shallow livelihood, often ruled by a thin coating/dangling object as a paint/mass to wile away/melt down with the lightest/slightest circumstances/stress and uncomplaining reapply/buy to a relationship often broken/shattered very knowingly/ignorantly. A sentence tirelessly attempting to be  remind/reassuring to its citizens that 'a thing of beauty, is a joy for ever' often confined to things/objects/illusions to real content/emotions/substance linked to words as 'unconditional'  love/caring/sharing/gratitude. After all the beauty of any understanding/any subject under consideration, lies submerged within the eye of the beholder/seeker, some crave for them/some are curious/some are still exploring/some don't care. Very often ending up into situations and circumstances knowingly/unknowingly either by force/choicE

retrospectivE

    

The word retrospective often marches ahead with the word analysis, linked to a situation/development very much connecting an event form the past/immediate present. Reflecting/Scattering some light into the later statement in a generation where it is just plainly/rationally casual to be encouraging/maddening towards breading/grooming mistrust/hatred/confusion/misunderstandings in the name of God/Ideology/History/Space/Resources and thus end up bearing fruits of/as wars/unresolved conflicts and disputes. An excuse/opportunity for many learned/trained analysts then to critically/deeply venture into the cause/symptoms and further analyse/scrutinize, towards an amicable resolution, at a staggering cost/waste of time, putting it blankly as possible. Venturing any further would only lead to unwarranted words of egocentric actions/reactions. 
I would like to just only share two of my most revered trickled down understandings with time, which somehow got entangled into my conscious the moment it came across my sensible awareness, dating may be to my early childhood development/educational upbringing and has some how got integrated within this flesh/blood. Thus making my task very easy today, just cut/paste them. The tough part comes when to regurgitate these exposed awareness, when deemed opportunities/circumstances arises, to apply at the prompt moment/time prudently. Objective of which is simply to add some momentum, into the potential source/energy into various hemispherical influences within our surroundings we encounter/define/judge, namely called as the family/neighbors/colleagues/strangers/foreigners. Dramas/Scenarios often to begin/travel and meet with the same consequences at the end, not any different to a game of chess each one coming with a different moves/tactics but with the same common objective/understanding.  To witness evolutionary grooming as nationalities/races/traditions/rituals all to divide/branch and mushroom out ultimately with separate individualistic attributes/identity just only for personal wider visibility/attention. Individuals/Nations holding on to ignorance/greed, in the name of inventions/resources/talents/history/pride, relishing/ignoring so called vanity/fellowship of humanity needs to be retrospectively analysed. Clarifying with a simple example, we first explored/initiated/invented/discovered the so called  numerals/scientific advancements the list goes on..the simple question/fact being apart from instigating a sense of accomplishment/pride to some concerned, what has it got in common for all, apart from deserving/claiming them at a price/value.Wondering has/will majority of the children/infant ever grow out of their understanding, except within their physical mass/nutritional specifications and requirements!?   
    The first one comes tagging as an information; source 'The Bible'..“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
    The second one comes tagging as a dream, from a poet; Source 'Gitanjali' by, Sri. Ravindranath Tagore. 
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. 


What is the rational to an open/closed mind, need to be reflected within retrospectively/prospectively. Be the change one want to see, give what one expect, reflect what one desire,become what one respect, and mirror what one admire is the lesson as being  transferred over.Thus shutting my window/door, hinging it to a person who was connected to 'The Bible' and practically devoted her life to the people living in the city of joy, concluding from my icon  Mother Teresa.. ''If you judge people, you have no time to love them". Determine/Imbibe/Assimilate/React  'within'.. true/falsE.

patrIotIsm

    The meaning of the word patriotism is deeply embedded into the minds of every citizens fenced/carved out precisely with boundaries we call as my/our house(property)/provinces(counties)/states/nation. Often ready to go to extremes safeguarding its integrity/pride/honor. My mind takes me today to a different direction/perspective seeing/hearing the turmoils/caeous in the name of clans/ideologies/righteousness. Often to wonder how can one blind lead another blind, how can regurgitated hatred/revenge heal the scars of ignorance/violence. Often to be reminded that the seeds of vengeance/mistrust will only lead to the same,historically established that one will reap only what one sows with ignorance/wits. Savagely spread now with sugar coated versions of national integrity/pride flavored and spiced to reality,and  ceremoniously being blessed in the name of a righteous God himself,as though he is thirsting for a drink of  the wicked blood. How can a loving God be so thirsty for wicked blood, when the objective of brightness is to rule out darkness. The irony/sarcasm of the educated/ the well established, often sprout out their nectar in their vitreous livelihood/vision when their words/actions tally in its tangible bliss to its obsolete attractiveness.  The weak arising/risen up to a stature to strengthen the strong/mighty is often the understood/observed pattern of enlightenment/virtuousness. Often to wonder again and again can two wrongs make a right/one wrong and one right make a right. The fact being patience/forgiveness always wins/triumphs over the ignorantly/hastily applied words/deeds, which very often is manipulated to start another cycle of knowing ignorance. 
    A religions adamant obsolete stand/unscrupulous political needs will/shall always finds its way out and triumph over the 'basic' needs of poverty/education/health and captures the imagination and triggers ADR rush very easily. Where is the silent educated peaceful majority, always bothers my mind in time of crises/resolution. History has always proven a point that the 10-15% radicals always manage to win the mind/muscle might of the vast ignorant/peaceful majority. How/Why!? Hatred/Venom spreads easily and pollutes to peace/trust. Hoping the future generations learn from history and pluck the weeds out from its roots before it spreads in the name of religious ideology/race dominance. When the seeds of arrogance/pride to hastily make a decision is taken, hoping one day humanity/serenity to triumph over vengeance/mistrust in the name of wars/unresolved disputes very often linked to ancestral sacrifices. Thus to shed some literal light into the respected word called history,and to have learned lessons from them and put leanings/experiences into sensible perspectives/practice should be then theory in practice. Often by  asking a question at the relevant prompt circumstance/unfolding scenario, is it helpful/meaningful and would only violence resolve the issue, would help in making/taking a sensible stand, and setting high benchmarks with proven relevant examples will lead and guide the path towards a meaningful evolution of an unresolved very often a trivial dispute/matter.  After all what emotional stand can one have to a place/person/material to the nostalgic feelings/experiences offered by the circumstances in the past, as very often explicitly being the fact,one begins to  falls in understanding/love with the land/person which provided/met their needs/wants with 'that moment in time/circumstances'. The remaining are all weeds of ignorance, to establish otherwise in the name of international boundaries/territories. Can't wait for a moment , within self first,as being rightly pointed when the literate shall realize the illiterate of my/our time are not the one who cannot read/write, but the one's who cannot learn/unlearn/relearn. Where the real essence of patriotism lies submerged when one thinks less and feel more/talk less and listen more/judge less and accept more/frown less and smile more/watch less and do more/complain less and appreciate more/fear less and love more to these rainbow of imbibed maturity is my accepted understanding of patriotism as of today.. 
    Dreaming at this point in my life only for a border less/open space, as the horizon is to a free space which is/will accommodate a free mind and a physical body with an open hand. Then there will be a meaning for the word patriotism in the context of humanity. Humanity fragmented/bridged in the name of religions/nationalities/languages, in its literal essence, if understood in the holistic spiritual/humanly perspective, how can there be a patriot? When this platform is just a venue for the other to be explored upon, left behind from a cut/copy/paste evolutionary reality strand. Should the beginning/end of this patriotic reasoning not end here then, to being divided/arrogant/aggressive/possessive in the name of patriotism. Thus a true imbibed mature patriot/relationship is not  just the one holding hands while you understand each other, its about having lots of misunderstandings and still not leaving each others hands. The key to a worthy patriotic life starts with the self retaliation/retrospective acceptance of tolerance/unbiased truth/open mindedness within self/family/community/nation. Its time to start and evolve into a process called ignored reverse engineering in lively practical perspective. Where the economics of nature/'resources' to be prominently placed, duly analysed/ respected, the root epidemiology of  a glorified word patriot. 
    Nations(developed/developing/underdeveloped) by all means have a moral responsibility to defend itself, but not to send/sell arms triggering/catalyzing acts of  sectarianism/radicalism . Underlying/Sketching these words, with a very present clear conscious on its impracticality, very embedded deep into our very foundations/pillars, can/ will provide credibility and due diligence in its evolved understanding of a word we casually/formally named as 'history'. As rightly pointed out by a very prominent matured seasoned politician, history will always show/teach us a lesson, that the major conflicts have always been created by a few motivated very well organised group, tapping into the innocence of the majority unorganized blank minds. Where the majority righteous do exist/think but are an unorganized scrambled/scattered lot. Having made the perspective/platform as innumerably said/dreamed by many before/now, just praying, one day at least to start with religion/the majority global branded religious, who will take and stand/propagate by its core vitreous peaceful roots. Reality being, how can one sow practical seeds of righteousness/goodness with a weapon in one hand and the holy book in the other. Nations(developed) which tried this logic once, has/have starting rooting out theoretical Godliness and planted/planting rationalism into its social fabrics/networking. Just again hoping educational institutions will give equal reverence to the rational(scientific)/holistic(spiritual) understandings/undertakings with an open door to the future, through its practical diligent broader perspective and deliver justice to peaceful understanding/evolution to come and put/apply the word patriotism in its right diligent perspectivE

nostAlgia

    Was recently watching a movie on friendship, and the nostalgic factor which was linking/unifying to add color to their relationship even after a gulp of time was an amalgamated combination of fantasy/experiences linked to pleasure accomplished through sexual conversations/lighter moments with alcoholic drinks and a passionate/addicted desire within to be submerged into this neutral nectar combinations, just in the right balance/combination/proportion in a perfect blend, put very openly as nothing small/large but just right. The reality often being to be drawn/sucked into this aura of proportional traditional dreams/dramas which is very often a taboo/black hole for the majority characterized to be right/civilized ethically/morally. Experiences and circumstances of a person/personality will have different dimensional interpretations/stories linked to this cock-tale often called as nostalgic memories. A casual traditional sentence linked to is often, what is life without submerging self through these paths, at least once in a lifetime. Wish, cos! had those days back now. With a passionate note, to be not judgmental, where else this aura will be diluted/polluted and lead to misunderstandings. How can unconditional imbibed love ever sow any seeds of mistrust/jealousy/hatred to evolve out. The root of/for every submerged fear leading to a fearful approach towards any circumstance in once encounter, is the lack of understanding/awareness/empathy of the moment. One becomes fearful when one is not exposed/experienced dealing with such situations/encounters. Its very often like dealing/reacting to an encounter with a reptile/insect/wild animal with no past experience/training with. And to brand all as dangerous is the common instinct coded within.
   To a very mature time tested statement put forward by one of my most revered actor, "what is the point in saying to a young calf, why are you so excited jumping and running around most of your time". The sacrifices, patience endured time will often brings to the shore a story/experience sharing/telling/cherishing a life time as memories. The enchanted/adventurous stories would very often be the taboos enforced morally/ethically/lawfully within the prism of the societies, very much survived cunningly/unsuspectingly becomes  a nostalgic experience for some called blessed/memorable moment/time, and often crave at a juncture to be slipping back again into that aura, like a refreshing cup of beverage. The hidden submerged fact being, very much the guilt/hidden pleasure of having accomplished the taboo unnoticed, eventually with circumstances brings in a sense of artificial social discipline/fake mask linked to a word called 'self sacrifice' to invariably later reflect into various woven relationships in once compartmental/commitmental attributes undertaken. Very often it is associated with social/family circumstances to behave modestly/cunningly behind a cowardice/sheepish undetected mask. Society portrays/depicts these inbuilt natural attributes to a wolf inside the sheep's hide/appearance. The very essence/irony of most nostalgia, linked to fantasy or so called a faithful lovable relationship, has a fine boundary drawn on the limitation/definition of this relationship, one openly/socially would/will be admiring/praying  to a love God/Goddess, but even a strong devotee would rather prefer the God/Goddess to be at one arm distance, when related to their close interpersonal relationship, very often to highlight the practical shallow depth of this aura of liberty of so called blind trust/faith. Cherishing the words 'kindness/understanding is not an act,its a lifestyle' and 'the less you respond to negative people,the more peaceful your life will become' summing up finally to  'judge not' else/and also be prepared mentally/emotionally  to be weighed identically on/to the same scale, while encountering/passing across similar circumstance/situation offered knowingly/unknowingly sometimes by once loved ones(children,siblings,spouse,parents)/admired associates(friends,colleagues,relatives,neighbors) is the byproduct/irony delivered by this catalyst  byproduct, called nostalgic reaction/nature at largE.
