focUs

     A season to/of harvest, where traditionally our ancestors gathered together their efforts of harvest/tears of joy and celebrated by sharing them /caring for each other. Refreshed again,  during this festive season called Onam. When after all, life in its totality is a symbiotic relationship of giving and taking.  Reminded today, to probe deeper of how/why do we put in efforts, to give / take back and in what measures? It's worth pondering/reflecting back, within this era of plentiful/technological boom. Are we at peace within self/offer the same to our acquaintances and help create a sane environment to our next generation personally/ethically?

   A fb post read.. 'Be a reflection of what you'd like to see in others. If you want love, give love. If you want honesty, give honestly, if you want respect, give respect. You get in return, what you give.' After going through  these well stitched  words, is it a theoretical / practical statement to be given out, expecting something back in equal measures? Not necessarily to be received back in equal measures. It's a self refining/polishing process to be understood/undertaken both unconditionally/non-judgmentally, for the sake of once abstract dynamic conscious/humanity at large. Practically possible when the environment is tuned to be just/fare. 

    This Onam season, is very special to me in many ways,  to have witnessed individuals and associations creating awareness about people in need, by trying to reach out and give a helping hand to people afflicted by natural disasters / devastating ailments. To have otherwise gathered together, make/display some creative vocals/artistic visuals and later get back into once shell as the sun dusk. Which I personally enjoy and cherish and believe is  very vital/essential to be engaged together 'both' artistically/constructively.. after all, we are social creatures. Was inspired enough, to  comment under a post..'The first Onam celebration, with a worthy cause being highLighted in my lifeTime. May be, it took a virus to get us to this focUs. Best wishes, as always'. As a glass of water, very often come nourishing for many deserving needy, at an opportune moment/point in time'. Thus could/would focus then mean.. 'Force on conscious understanding/undertaking situations'. Onam thus has two dimensions. Abstractly, honoring/reenforcing the virtue of righteousness/justice, supposedly to have been delivered once upon a time by a mythical ruler named Mahabali. Tangibly, to be responsible nourishing/celebrating together, once cultivated abundance/culture.

How will the current majority parrot trained/ADD pill driven generation, compete/survive with these chip driven, pig era, of give and take model structure? Do we now have to implant chips to survive, to behave as humanly/sanely as possible or modify how we do commerce/economics both locally/globally at length? In short, at what point in time do we have to learn to relax / be more responsible to our earth/ourselves by eventually unlearning/relearning our history/present for our futurE

Oh!

     What could this word oh! mean? The dictionary says it's  'used to express a range of emotions including surprise, anger, disappointment, or joy, or when reacting to something that has just been said.'

    Could oh! then be 'oops! human'. Pasting within a forwarded text by my sister recently.

Absolutely brilliant ..Don't know who wrote this.. Hats off to him / her .

codE

     Code is a benchmark/milestone set to discipline/accomplish within the span of a life time. We very often associate it to the code of conduct/behavior/lifestyle/choices be abstract/tangible we have undertaken/understood. 

    Not to mistaken it for the software coding being learned/applied to make something effortless/reliable. Which once upon a time, was considered as words/tools employed by witches/illusionists to cast a spell and was not very valuable/acceptable back then. 

    We often establish/built  our code  circumstantially, influenced/pressurized under the socio-economic, cultural backgrounds, the major majority without attempting to revisit /unlearn/relearn to probe into our choices and flow with the current. Pasting within a reminder.. 'Be the change we want to see around us and challenge ourSelves to be unConditional-forGet for present / nonJudgemental-forGive for the future'. Which are the huddles/golden mantras to be built/develop upon the trajectory  of our quest/journey.

    Code of conduct - character is very often being determined/assumed to be presumed, by once choices,  in choosing to dress up/carry oneself  around in style/fashion. If so then, are we not someones bill board planks / brand ambassador....unconsciously/ignorantly  when piling up without any trajectory/mandate within our life. Heal-by seeking and let heal-by relearning once choicE

philanThropist

    Who is a philanthropist? Reminded of the mighty emperor Alexander the Great. Not to backtrack and refresh on the irony of such many characters  and their frequently eulogized ends. An aggressive rush, to accumulate something/everything, somehow.  The majority philanthropist then and now, after having accumulated/piled up ethically/non-ethically.... trickles down something, after making a strong safety net for their loved ones and may be for someone within their radius of influence, for the simple recognition/appreciation after all to be recognized/honored as a decent civilized social creature.
     The ignorantly groomed undertaken/understood law of nature is to  struggle/ sustain / perish. Having collectively reached to where we are today, do we still have to behave like yesterday? The major majority materialistically driven/hopeful have they evaluated/placed priority for their mental/emotional well-being , who given an opportunity very often take/demand, than being offered willingly to be branded as self made philanthropist, at the expense of many, emotionlesly squashed under their ambitious growth trejectory. How many  individuals, otherwise will be driven without being tempted/lured under the influence of pleasure/wealth  and  be motivationally driven out of 'holistic' passion/fondness for their choices in lifE

freeDom

    Freedom means/implies different conundrum to individual souls/mindset based on their circumstancial state of being. Freedom emphasizes/highlights mainly these four pillars/virtues to accomplish, 'as' humanely 'as' possible. The basis of the foundation for freedom 'today' is to first provide humane, dignified, sustainable living conditions to live for all and then seek accountability from all to begin with. Which is very possible, within our current evolved scenario of technologically developed footstool.
    Freedom from poverty- when/where basic 'needs' for survival/sustenance are decently and collectively accomplished be linked to healthcare/shelter/food supplies.
    Freedom of education-to help/nourish us out of our ignorance and to be engaged collectively /constructively from the shadows of creed/color/race/sects.
    Freedom from tyranny- from the narrow minded tyrants/dictators who breed ignorance/hatred  in the name of ideologies/only our way of life. Historically being promoted/sustained and built around by/under the stewardship of narrow minded nationalists / ego centric pride, very often born out of jealousy/ignorance.
    Freedom of choice-to be who and what any individual wants to be....by not being scanned under the prejudice/biases created out of an illusion/dilution of propaganda / narrow minded awareness. To drive/thrive unconditionally and nonjudgmental, if God is the creator/sustainer of everything visible/invisible.

Pasting within a Nobel laureate's poem/interpretation on the very essence of freedom:

  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. 
    

maD

    Having commented on a post.... 'Very well compiled/articulated. There are so many opportunities in our current time....trained therapists/medical support. It's only a matter of seeking and getting assistance....many are of the old mindset/illusion.... that people will think, I am mad and on psychiatric therapy. In the process ignoring the vital role/use of an umbrella during very hot/rainy days of our lives.' If 'God' on earth  used resources/chemicals to heal/rise people from death/ailments....what is our understanding/undertaking as of today? Could mad be then being simply 'Manufactured and destroyed'. 
    Have we heard about stress/anxiety/depression/PTSD apart from some 'predominately' genetically/circumstantially inherited and carried over traits/diagnosis termed as schizophrenia/bipolar disorders.

stAnd

    What is my/our stand- Which in a sentence is 'Sound theoretical and negativity distancing'? A basic question which comes as an opportunity/distraction very frequently into our lives. Be linked to reforms/decision making....many take it seriously and the major majority ignore, thinking a drop is irrelevant but aspire for a change. Having been submerged and to witness turbulence within several hemispheres, at once, is a rare phenomenon/opportunity to explore and evolve for the better/worse is the choice being laid out.
    Reminded of a recent incident at work, when a colleague of mine promptly raised the awareness/stood by the side, on time, to a sarcastic rude attitude/situation unwarranted,  at a given point in time....when unexpectedly encountered with. It's such rare circumstances/situations we get to value relationships/weigh in the values of individuals, we are surrounded with.  
    It's very often the insecurity of basic needs to survive/sustain themselves and their treasured ones, which draws humanity into conflicts. Having come so far is it not time to reform/change for the better.  In many developed nations today.... if someone is determined/focused and 'not' from a single parent/struggling background... then the odds to make it is made harder. For instance, if you want to be a doctor/engineer/lawyer/scientist the average debt would be from $20000 to $60000 and if couples come out with identical debts/obligations.... double them up....add the cost of a house to live in, transportation to commute....it easily piles up to  a million dollar in debt. Compounded with insecurity for jobs/sustainable opportunity what kind of ecochamber are we developing/dreaming towards?
Pasting within some comments made on social media platforms. 
When will we grow up from a narrow spectrum/perspective, into the universal consciousness of 'us'. What does look within our own teach/tell us. Is the heart/brain/kidney/liver all the same or different to be segregated, separately and treated differently?  Raise voices/stand together for.... "Universal justice-for environmental preservation and conservation"/"Fair law enforcement-inculcating transparency and clarity "/"Universal health-should it be a privilege"/"Universal basic income-has it always to be at someones expense" /"Universal decent education-would it not make awareness accessible " and let's then seek accountability form Amar, Akbar, Antony or from the black, white, brown, yellow pigmented races if not delivered.  
It's high time for a shift in how we do commerce/trade within our so far evolved cloud computing technology driven era. Once this awareness is created  on Politics and politicians, which is / should be an opportunity/responsibility being offered/undertaken to meet the challenges of evolved needs/circumstances and that it's not a venture to stir up emotions into once way of life/personal choices to live the trajectory/momentum of progress is  set in the right direction. The manner in which an individual/community/nation treats its least fortunate be handicapped/economically deprived, communicates to any seekers, how the mindset of the majority individuals at any given coordinate have evolved/matures out at any given point in time. Some needing many rebirths/exposures/teachings/experiences to learn/differentiate between, what is the right/humane way to do/get anything done. How many play the nice/sweet  way to do nothing and play the innocent/ignorant safe game.'A lie does not become truth, wrong does not become right, and evil does not become good..just because it's accepted by a majority".  After all, which  human God, for any sane reference, has not been with the minority, deprived, outcast within our historical context of timE
