Rains have affected the thought process I guess. Though I prevented myself from getting drenched but I guess something is still washing out everything in my mind. Sometimes it’s good to have your drains choked, I suppose. So that you can hold on to your thoughts and ponder upon them! It is good to realize/observe yourself rather than just let the time and the changes in your thought process to go by. So it is good to be a little mentally constipated.
On a different note, why all my drains are open is also a question to ask. May be I was pursuing a temporary goal and was focusing so hard that I forgot to stop by and observe. It happens many a times that you loose interest in the thing which you like to do most. May be because of the temporary goal or is it a sign that I am moving on? Moving on from my present mindset to another one which has different priorities and different goals!
So mental constipation or free flowing change, I do not know what to chose as I told you I am not able to hold on to anything now.

Life Span
How much do I think my life span is? Life span does not mean the whole life time. It means like for a single aim or for a single motive how much time do I live in one stretch. I am saying one stretch to focus on that particular time span I spend thinking about that issue or that aim. For example I am writing this blog and my entire mind is thinking about it. No food, no drinks, no hot, no cold nothing but just this blog. Give it a little thought before getting carried over. When I am getting ready for the office I am thinking about my work. When I am working in the office I am thinking about the weekend bash or a night out watching movies. I am getting carried over by this thinking in the middle of my working time. So I consider my life span for working time to be that time in which I was totally focusing on my work. That was for an example. Now think in general how much is your life span for a particular aim? How much time do I spend thinking or working for that aim? My focused and concentrated efforts in that direction. No distraction of food, comfort, thirst, future, dreams, past, pain. The moment I get distracted my life span has ended. Suppose I get distracted by food and I started eating. Then my life span for eating has started. Now if I start watching TV in the middle of my food my life span for food has ended and for TV has started. This is the way I live. In life spans!
My whole life consists of such very long and very short life spans. If I want to achieve something then I should dramatically increase my life span for that purpose. The more I think and work for a single aim the more chances I have of achieving that. This is certainly how it goes for all the physical and non-physical things. Car, house, business, success, meditation, salvation! Almost everything which can be achieved in life. Meditate more and better and you will reach to a level of zero thinking. Basically to a better level!
Now think about decreasing your life span. Decreasing in the sense that focus on the smallest possible activity you are doing. If you are walking focus on your legs. If you are typing focus on your fingers. Observe your body more than thinking about it. Life span of seconds switching from one body act to another body act. And gradually where will you reach….
I leave this post here for you to think. I have successfully conveyed the idea I think. Coming to a conclusion will be more like forcing my thought process on the reader.
Do write your conclusion in the comments section. Feedbacks are the best to know whether I have communicated or not?
P.S. – Meaning of Span (one of few) according to the dictionary.
1.The distance between the tip of the thumb and the tip of the little finger when the hand is fully extended.

News-Paper
Call it my less equipped house or call it an old habit, whenever we eat or drink we tend to put everything on the newspaper. The purpose is to protect the floor or the table. Thanks to all the local supplements or the typical page 3 articles of the newspaper that the newspaper serves more purpose than just a protecting cover. In the middle of any discussion you can safely escape to have a good ‘eye-tonic’, as the chances of the people with whom you are eating or drinking to be beautiful are very less. So why not give some food to your eyes while drinking.
One of my friend’s ‘rate of escape’ later in the drinking session increased noticeably. His involvement in the present discussion hence reduced. He was gazing at a perfect strategically revealing picture of Cameron Diaz. And he was really trying to avoid his glass being kept on the picture.
Few more drinks and few more long escapes. And this provoked us to know the exact reason behind it. With almost an impeccable innocence he said ‘I don’t want to put my glass on the picture as the curves in the picture might topple my glass and I don’t want my drink to get spilled all over her’.
Who says pictures are not lively. After all it is in our own mind which makes thing livelier than they are. One of my all time favorite line also supports this ki ‘नशा शराब में होता, तो नाचती बोतल’.

Heat Detector
I am being more and more ambitious now. I want to have a heat or smoke or flame detector fitted in my brain. For the very simple reason that I should get a clear sign before my brain catches fire. A lot of criticism I have faced from self and from others for letting my mind burn and for not able to have a control over this fire. I must criticize god, if at all he is the creator, for making such a faulty machine which does not give alarm. Almost all the machines made by human gives alarm and then you can control the situation before it’s all finished.
Irreversibility of the process/running machinery makes it a complicated issue. The operation/process of all the machines made by man is irreversible. If an engine gives an alarm and you do not attend to it, it will have breakdowns. And once it is done it is done. You can not restore it in the earlier state. That is what we are afraid of and that is specifically why we have alarm equipped machines. So my search for this brain heat detector is now more and more intense. As this can protect me from breakdowns! And certainly I am going to find a technologically (read logically) savvy product soon!
But doubting god’s ability and comparing his ability with ours is not suggested. As it is I am facing a lot of heat for expressing my illogical views about god. And somehow I believe that the probability of creator creating better is little less. Like if god (nature) has created us then certainly we need much more varied aspects to be like him (nature). And safely assuming this I can say that the machines (fitted with alarms) created by man are no better than man. That means that my not having alarm is better than the machines having alarm.
If such is the case then why it is so? Why I am not fitted with an alarm and why it is still better. What if I do something today and it goes wrong. Can I make up for it? What if I can not achieve what I want to today? Is life really an irreversible process? How much a span of n years matters over a span of 2n years? What will I get if I will have an alarm fitted in my brain which will prevent me from doing wrong? How much my doing wrong effect the big picture? What is the big picture?
Deal these questions separately.
May be I am not fitted with an alarm because I should be able to make my life reversible. Reversible in the sense that today’s anger will be tomorrow’s strength and today’s missed opportunities will be tomorrow’s motivation. I feel that not having sense to sense is ok. And if at all I will sense it (in future) I will make up for it. Be reversible, at least try to be one and then you will be free from all your fears and certainly will have a good process i.e. LIFE.

दोस्ती हो तुम या दोस्त मेरे
दोस्ती हो तुम या दोस्त मेरे,
एहसास हो तुम, या साथ मेरे,
मन की विपदाओं को,
और जीवन की सच्चाई को,
उत्साह से झेलने का एक सहारा,
और चिर हर्ष लिए तुम पार्थ मेरे,
पहलू मेरी पहचान के,
मिट्टी मेरे ख्वाबों के,
जीवन रूपी शाक के,
फल भी तुम, फूल भी तुम,
तस्वीरों में रंग हो तुम,
मन में कुछ रखा समय,
और परछाई हँसी की जैसे,
तुम शीतल मधु और पर्याय मेरे,
कौन हो तुम बताओ ना,
खुशी साथी या ख्वाब,
या तुम प्रतिबिंब मेरे मन का,
दोस्ती हो तुम या दोस्त मेरे…

Baby Lovers
The topic of general talks is shifting gradually to babies now.
‘You know she stares at me like that whole night’.
‘He is really a terrorist’.
‘I have quit smoking cigarettes and started chewing nicotine gum’.
‘You don’t know, I am still single’. ‘So what, you don’t need to be married to have one’.
‘My family is pressurizing us to move ahead’.
‘Let me finish my studies before we move ahead’.
‘I will arrange for a place then you can come over.’
‘I can not live alone; it’s high time we should do it.’
All sorts of different situations, different responses from people but these responses have one thing in common. They all are filled with lots of care and concern and yes ‘Love’.
Love the married ones feel for their new born/yet to be born babies.
Love the bachelor ones feel for their babies (girlfriends).
Disclaimer - This post is certainly dedicated to all baby lovers. The comments above are not a work of fiction but can easily be noticed among day to day conversations.
May your love for babies grow more and more! Amen…
P.S. - Read it twice. First as if you are talking about your new born/yet to born kid and second as if you are talking to your girlfriend.
