Its too big to be small...


World is very huge thing made up of very small small particles. Isn't it? But we always look at big picture only. We never see the tiny colour grains on canvas. If you get to see those, then observe them. Observe them closely. They are a picture in themselves. These days our domains are so expanded that we don't even care about small things that we posses. Having grown up as an adult, our expectation level increases. The world has not changed, its you who has changed. I don't say that one should stop dreaming. Dreams are part of life, progress. But while pursuing our new dreams sometimes we tend to forget our old dreams. Just try to remember your childhood dreams. You will cherish some of them.

Yesterday, I was reading one article. It was pointing out how no one can be "Happy" forever. My answer to it was, " Our Life comes in moments, but we spend it in time." Am I right? We always collect our past, worry about future and lose our present. Many have said about this. Everyone knows it. But no one follows it. We have to understand. Understand that life is really worth of moments and we have trillions of them. We don't have to spend it in time. We should get hold of our moments, live them..live the life as it comes and as it goes....live the moment. Go out and look how small small creatures are living their lives...see the beauty in tiny droplets...hear the music in sound of wind...feel the magic of every second...As that second passes, there are so many changes have happened through out the world.


God has gifted us all. Remember it. You try crying forcefully...you can not. It is too difficult to cry just like that. But try smiling just like that...it is easy...so simple...so nice...God has made it that way...When we try simpler things over difficult then why should we feel blue...just smile...

Ripples...


Tap...Tap...Tap...
Water drops are slowly coming down....
...And that tiny water sphere making contact with still, plain, calm water surface....
A slight sound of splash...
...circular water film stretching out with some small small droplets at the border spreading across 2-dimensional surface with 3rd dimension's interaction...
At the same time, that water drop pulling water surface down and making place for itself to become part of it....
...but, that has already affected the calm surface...that pulling down tension reacted and swollen into little wave on surface....
that's Ripple....
undulating circular lines then slowly move apart....one after the other....

A simple phenomenon...but we can see many things from it...
Life....cool on going steady, calm life....its like a water surface...
and sometimes we see few things trying to interfere in our life...disturbing the stillness...creating ripples....
This interfering entities are sometime part of us only....just like water-drops falling..
or sometimes external which are not related to us but it tries to enter into our life....like pebble thrown in water..
or may be the disturbing thing is unknown...invisible...we never see what is causing that ripples....as breeze flowing over water....

Sitting on lakeside or river bank, we observe these ripples unknowingly. There is nothing new in it...but when you are disturbed internally, your mind relates it to the scene it is viewing. These ripples formed moves outward from the centre and waves disturb the surrounding and gradually with period of time it dies down....the intensity of disturbance reduces and it tries to get back to original form.

Sometimes there might not be one ripple but two three forming nearby... circling at different positions.... and these ripples then collides...few adds up or few nullify each other...creating mixed patterns....Our troubles are like this only...one after the another....they get mixed up..and creates more confusion...and everything start looking complicated...We just have to wait...solve them one by one....as water is always going to come to its stillness.

Aha Insight !!!!

A beautiful creative photo of droplets


Yesterday night, after running through all day with network assignment and little bit of enjoyment at CS Club event, my mind start stumbling on various thoughts that came to mind. Suddenly my mind started debating to myself "Who is better, Scientist or Artist ?".....I don't know how my thoughts lead me to that, but it just flashes in my mind.

Scientist discovers, Artist creates......both are at their levels....you just can't compare them. The only thing connects them is the feeling..." Aha Insight ! " after every creation the peace of mind experienced is just, is just just....no....you can't bind it in words...but ya, it is great feeling. In my school time, we some group of friends always tried some hard mathematical problems beyond the scope of our level at that age. But whenever I got solution to such things..most of the times just after I woke up around 5 o clock in the morning, I have experienced such 'Aha' feeling. As a artistic part of mine, whenever I write some poetry, just after writing last line of it...sometimes it amazes me, ' Is this my baby?'...or sometimes looking at some beautiful photograph, my eyes react the pleasure I feel.

Many times it seems like art that is created is done in one go or it just sudden realisation of creation. But its not true. There must be innumerable fragments, ideas, impressions, feelings which are playing together, dancing, colliding, meeting, separating, always with some organizing principle coagulating the ideas to form a whole. Then, perhaps when we least expect it, we have an "Aha" or "eureka" moment.

Just look at the picture above. How that artist thought about engaging droplets into necklace ? He has to be mad to think such great idea. Just amazing ! If I decide to just write on the picture above, it will lead to another post ( I won't write more about it now). Various thoughts running all day, may lead to creation. Creation are originated from emotional background, some kind of madness associated with it. Is creative genius somehow woven together with "madness"? According to the dictionary, "to create" is "to bring into being or form out of nothing." Such a powerful, mysterious, and seemingly impossible act must surely be beyond the scope of scientific inquiry. No wonder creativity has for so long been "explained" as the expression of an irrational, intuitive psychic "underground" teaming with forces (perhaps divine) that are unknown and unknowable (at least to the "sane," rational mind).

How can emotional turmoil enhance creativity?

"... his raptures were,
All air, and fire, which made his verses clear,
For that fine madness still he did retain,
Which rightly should posses a poet's brain
-- Michael Dray ton "

Creative person , may be he is a painter, composer, writer or poet or whatever...many times he relates his current state of mind with his art. He dissolves his emotions in his art. Creative people can use their personal pain to help others find wholeness. The people who taste his art may not realise the feelings that artist could have experienced. If creation does come from "the depths of the mind and the depths of the personality and the depths of the unconscious," it may be that the introspective, ruminative state of depression can enhance this journey. "One goes down into the well and nothing protects one from the assault of the truth".

There are various aspects associated with art..It truly reflect our life. In fact, it is science of our life. You feel joy, you feel grieve, you feel proud, you feel distress....It is a dish having all taste of life. One has to have artistic view for looking at it. I wish I could get, eyes of photographer or painter , ear of musician, taste of cook, heart of poet, touch of sculptor and many more......I want to live my life to fullest....I always wish to get the feeling " AHA , INSIGHT !".

Life is an opportunity, cash in on it.
Life is an adventure, get into it.
Life is a tragedy, grow from it.
Life is a struggle, make it sacred.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a promise, meet it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a duty, fulfil it.
Life is a challenge, face it.
Life is a dream, realise it.
Life is beauty, feel it.
Life is bliss, experience it.
