Man created God.
Man created Good and Bad.
From good came God.
From bad came evil.
God doesn’t have a form so is good.
When God takes a form so is good.
Man believes good.
But bad came in form laziness.
So Man lost an O in good .
Good became God.
In the circle (o) of life, he prays to God.
He is searching for that O in God to form Good.
He wants that O from God to be Good.
He became a believer in search of 0.
Recently I had an argument with a friend over the use of Plastics. It mainly involved plastic’s role in the economy of a country. With respect to Indian and world economy, my friend told it’s a must in the FMCG industries. To summarise her arguments, I’ll write them in the following points.
All the points mentioned by my friend is true and completely valid. It seems right for any sane person to know that banning the plastic affects the economy of a country.
At this moment, I had kind of a rebellious thought. All the points mentioned above are in the interest of humans. All the points on economy and country development concern only for human. Does these developments ever speak for an animal, bird or to the whole nature in which we are just a small part.
The answer is a big NO.
To counter my friend’s argument, I mentioned the following points.
I am not an expert in economics. I am an engineer and through an engineer’s perspective, I think by banning plastics there will be a positive effect on Indian economy not immediately but eventually.
Ban on plastic for current time surely has negative effects since many are dependent on it and immediate ban creates short-term chaos. But in a long run, it will bring out the best.
In the end, I also said that even though I am a human, I always prefer nature over the economy.
The reason why I hate plastics and so-called economy in the above discussion is that I know how humans are exploiting the earth. There are tons of videos where plastic is proven as a dangerous affair to the environment and other species. And it hurts me whenever an exotic or endangered species are subjected to the threats of plastic alone. Blue whales, sharks are some of those endangered species that are facing problems because of plastic in water bodies.
Recently, I read somewhere that plastic will overtake the aquatic species by quantity in the future!

Lion kills a deer. There is a death which may be considered as cruel part of nature but for the eco-balance. You know why lion has to feed on deer and not plants, because just like a lion if all animals feed on the green it will lead to overgrazing, which in turn leads to deforestation, blah, blah…. It is because of this nature has some carnivorous animals in its arsenal to maintain the balance. And what are we doing? We are screwing up this balance. People by which I mean poachers and some of those with big rifles and pictures are eliminating the part of the food chain in the dumbest way possible.
In the above case, the balance was screwed by direct interference of human (who is also a part of nature). Now, the human has evolved to an extent where plastic, a product of human invention alone is causing the trouble to the entire water body.

In addition to plastic, we have fishing business to which the exotic species of oceans are been sacrificed. The following link in an example.

I was thinking how can we stop plastic affecting the nature. People Say plastic recycling. But they have been doing and creating awareness and its still reaching people. According to me the quick, hard yet the best solution is to ban the plastics. But people say it affects that, this and creates chaos and all the philosophies.
I know!
I also know it is extremely difficult to ban the plastics completely. But, it’s not impossible. I think plastic is being there from the last couple of centuries may be more than a little more. But, I am sure plastic wasn’t there when civilization started. Maybe there was like natural rubber or other things but their applications were minimal.
Without the present day technology and plastic minus wars, our ancestors lived longer than us. With technology and without the plastic, maybe we can survive in an even better way.
I could be wrong, I could be right but…

Brain and heart are the two parts of the human body that never rests in their lifetime. The heart keeps pumping blood (and may contain feelings according to some movies) while the brain is like a CPU that connects everything and runs everything. It does lots of things but never rests. Enough of science lessons. let’s come to the main theme of this post.
Date: 02 August 2018
Time: 00:55 Hrs
Thoughts: many
For me, the most difficult part of creating a blog post which includes writing is to have a proper start. My brain is filled with lots of thoughts which I want to share on this platform. But because of my starting trouble, most of the thoughts fade away without seeing a paper or keyboard. But today at the above mentioned time, I was determined to let out all the thoughts that run in my mind.
First and foremost, I see today the internet is being exploited in many ways. Many of them are in good ways but a lot of them sucks and many things I encounter makes me sick. I pity most of the internet users and the way they are abusing internet.
Ex: Quora. It’s an awesome platform to share and gain knowledge. When I started to use it years ago, I loved it. I got to know a lot of things, I learned a lot of things and everything was new and awesome. And then it became shit. Total shit! There are still a lot of gems but, there is an equal number of shits too. I don’t know why day by day my feed used to fill up with a lot of shits. I don’t understand the logic behind certain questions. People ask really stupidest and silly questions concerning religion, region and race and girls and impressing them. I got fed up and I downvoted those questions and answers so they won’t be in my feed. I unfollowed many topics but still… Anyway, with this, I got to know even with all the knowledge and resources available in this advanced period of human history some people still choose to be les connards.
Next thought – The concept of religion is stupid but the concept of culture should be respected. I am proud of being a Hindu culturally but I never consider Hinduism as a religion. Moreover, many scholars too share the same thought that it’s not a religion. I have a similar belief towards other famous religions too. I respect good values of every culture and I wish people just to learn them. But but some people never accept unity and co-existence. They are a bunch of hypocrites. I mean, we have a culture which teaches us lots of things. It’s good for people and makes a society. Then comes religion led by God and I am like, “I see. Oh, wait, actually I can’t see God. It’s okay dude until you keep your beliefs to yourself”. Then comes epic personalities preaching God’s words and asking to do things in name of God. I mean seriously. God gives you free will and then sets certain rules which makes me wonder about the very first humans. God created the world, all kind of animals and then human too. He gave a certain special ability to human from which came another. That’s okay. But he created a fruit and forbid the human to eat it. If that’s the case, why create the fruit in first place. Oh dear god, why in the name of God did you do it?
Anyway even if there’s an entity called as God I have no problem with him. My issue is he taught different things to different people and told that it’s the only the truth to each person. In this case, either God is false or Godmen were false. Whatever or whoever started I feel pity for people fighting over in this century too. Often I think how to get rid of this? At first, I thought proper education could be an answer. But after seeing a lot of people on Quora who have degrees in interesting domains, I came to know, “Nope! these people can never be changed. In short, humans cannot be changed.”
We all (maybe almost all with the good amount of common sense) as humans know the problems we are facing as a species. We have drastic climatic change, terrorism, scarcity of food, diseases, and many more. I always thought why can’t great leaders of the world change the way we are exploiting earth! They aren’t working on it, rather some countries and leaders are still fighting over a piece of land and some are fighting against the people of other race, religion, and region.
There are a lot of things I hate about humans and their exploitations. I am thinking how it can be changed and how can I contribute to the change.
Maybe we need Thanos!

Music: Ikson – New Day
Above pictures are of those who live in our home apart from my parents and brother.
Last week on a train journey to Fontainebleau, which is around 60km from Paris, I was lucky enough to be seated by a window. I was travelling alone, due to which, I sought the companionship of music.
It was beginning of the evening. Among the rows of 10 seats, punctuated by a passage to walk, dividing them into bays of 3 seats facing another 3 seats one side and 2 seats facing another 2 seats on the other, I opted for a seat on the 3 seat bay, by an east-facing window in the train moving southwards of Paris. When I sat, there were only very few people. In the row, front of mine, sat a blonde woman, facing the same direction as me, on a seat tall enough that the only part of her visible to me was the top part of her head. Diagonally to my right, in the 2 seat bay and in the same row and direction as that of the blonde woman, was a couple who sat close to each other and were engrossed in the phone which I assume belonged to the guy, as he held it firmly while the girl was tapping randomly on the screen. Even though I was not keen on those who were sitting behind me, I did hear, in this French speaking nation, the voice of an English speaking young woman. Then a group of 5 boys, who appeared to be south east Asians came and occupied the remaining seats in my row. While they occupied the 4 seats in the 2 seat bay, the remaining person occupied the right most seat facing the south direction, in the 3 seat bay.
Unperturbed by all this, I took out my kindle and resumed reading The immortals of Meluha which I had begun to read earlier that day, all the while listening to music. This is something I don’t usually do but I just gave it a go this time. Sometime later the sound of the train suppressed the music that I was listening to. So, I increased the volume a little so that I could hear music clear enough to make my mood flow with music and it worked. Unexpectedly, this didn’t distract my reading, rather it set up a perfect evening ride, amidst the dancing of golden hour light through city buildings, as the train left Gare de Lyon.
I was immersed in reading and observed very little outside the window. The City never amuses me so much as what nature does. The city buildings passed by just like that. My eyes darted away from my Kindle for brief moment to look at the river Marne. After crossing the river my eyes scooted to and away from the window. As train reached outskirts of the city, houses seemed to go far away and greens seemed to approach the railway tracks. In the meantime, I finished a chapter and kept the kindle inside. The train was proceeding in a constant motion and I changed my playlist to one that included OST from movies. My eyes were now completely glued to the windows, looking outside. I had travelled on this route quite a number of times in last few months. When I first travelled, it was a cloudy day and the river adjacent to tracks had flooded the nearby houses. I had learnt from news earlier that day that there was a flood in Paris but never thought that I would be a witness to it for the first time in my life. There was a calm aura after the floods and my friend, who was then travelling with me, expressed his concerns on how the floods had affected many lives while I had been trying hard to see beyond the calmness left behind by the flood. I couldn’t see what I wanted to see that time. Next time, when I travelled through this route it was snowing. Compared to the previous journey, this time, I enjoyed looking through the window and it was my first time travelling while it was snowing. The snowfall outside the window did put a smile on me whilst being accompanied by melodious songs from my playlist. The third time I travelled, everything seemed dry, as winter was ending and it was just before spring set foot.
This being my 4th time and that too during spring, I saw lush green trees, alongside the tracks, which were moving rapidly matching the rhythm of train’s motion, but in the opposite direction. Behind these trees, far away, were small towns which seemed to be situated in the valley. I could see only top portions of the houses, which were built in typical French style of architecture. Compared to the trees, these houses seemed to move back little slower. As I looked beyond these house, I observed green hills moving slower than the houses. The farthest I saw, were clouds which seemed rooted in their position. The first thing I observed was, that the objects closer to train were moving fast while ones farthest were slow. As I was engulfed in this moment, I was intrigued by a thought from one of my fellow blogger’s post. In his recent post, he explained about his train journey and the things he observed from it and at the end, he asked the readers to share their train journey experiences. At that point of time, I had passed it as just a suggestion. However, at this point of my train journey, I was driven to bring out a meaning from the experience I was enjoying.
The following is what I understood from my recent train journey…
Just like the train, my life is moving at a constant pace. Even though train is at constant speed, objects around the train seemed to move at different speeds. Trees along the track were fast, the town behind the trees were slower and hills under golden clouds on a beautiful warm evening were either very slow or seemed to be completely motionless. Looking back at my life, I realized these things are like people in one’s life. In my life, there were people who brought me smile and joy but left quickly, just like trees passing by. Towns which were slower but bigger enough to hold my sight were like those friends who were a part of my joys and adventures and I know that they will be there for a very long period just like the towns which grew bigger in time. And then, there is the hill, which is the ‘home’ to not just the trees but also to many other living things. They will be there even as I move far away from them. It could be concealed from sight at times when the trees alongside the tracks hide them completely, but moments later the hills will again be in line of sight just like my family is in mine. And it dawned upon me that, I look at the hills with high regards just like I look at my parents and brother along with Rocky and Tinkoo.
Plug in your earphones. From your phone, create a playlist of light music from the library and play. As the music begins, slide with the flow of music. Imagine that you are the only living soul without any social restrictions or in need of socialising. Forget the society, forget its problems, forget the world…
You are one of the well-formed creation of the nature. Nature has gifted you enticing greenery bestowed with the blue water. The inhabitants of the nature are countless creatures each having its own purpose.
At the point where green and water meets, the milky clouds arises from the horizon. Feel the cool breeze coming through these clouds. In middle of this mesmerising nature’s creation just sit and see the things. Live the moment, leave the triviality.
This is the purpose of life.
