Time"Line"



Time is a scale whose linear and constant nature is very illusive.
The most watched epic serial of the 90's in India- Mahabharat,  was brilliantly narrated by Time, personified.

Time is not a constant, it is highly flexible, variable. This experience of time seems to be closely connected with how many experiences your brain can handle.  Time converts to brain power.
Whatever happened in the past is all in our memory. That is the only evidence of the past time. Time here essentially becomes memory, brain power. Projecting this theory to future - viewing time non linearly which allows you to "remember" or "see" the future - this prescience makes your Life and Time exactly the same-  all in your brain, all in your memory.

It is said and understood that as one travels through space , time changes and the way one experiences it changes too. I took my daughter to the planetarium yesterday and it blew my mind to hear that it takes light a billion years to travel from the Andromeda Galaxy to a viewer on Earth and if we were to have a direct view of the galaxy, what we would be seeing at present is the view of the galaxy a billion years ago!
Similarly, traversing one's brain, the matter in which is made up of  the same atoms that make up the entire universe, it should only be consequential that time should seem transcendental and relative just like in space. Just like in space, there is a whole arena of unexplored stars and galaxies in our minds.

"Life is a journey, not a destination" This is a mantra that yogis live by and the "Enlightened" understand. They seem to have understood some part or the whole of the non-linearity of life and time.

Of men and sandals.

At this juncture, my groom hunting has lots of things in common with my quest for a nice,decent pair of sandals. My friends know how fussy I am in shopping to get only the perfect ones, be it clothes or sandals or anything. They dread the thought of coming with me to look for a sandal for me. Perfect Sandals For Me, I believe are as rare as a perfect alliance! I have always mercilessly ignored stuff like clothes,shoes if I don't like them cent percent. Even if they are gifts or are carefully handpicked by my parents with lots of love. Now, that could be deadly in the case of a husband.;) My idea of a perfect sandal would be: 1) It should be comfortable to wear. 2) Should look good on my feet. 3) Should not be too expensive. 4) Should last enough I believe, broadly, this would be eveyone's criteria while buying a pair of shoes or sandals, though there could be ppl who dont care about point no:3. But there would be different factors for different ppl for each of these poi...

What man achieves in life is basically a matter of what he wants. and how and how much. What is your ambition has been a question which has been asked to everyone of us. My answer has metamorphosed from teacher to doctor to engineer to artiste and finally to something very vague. At different points of our lives, we would hav had different answers to the same questions. And the point is that it keeps changing through out your life. And it really is a mystery what decides what makes you happy. Sometimes something which you have always wanted might not make you so happy as somthing which you had not given one thought.. There is a naughty child in everyone. We crave for something which is out of reach. Whn you know you cant have it, you ache for it. but once it is ours, we just throw it around or worse still, ignore it and forget its existence..

Meeting Rhett Butler.

Talked to a friend after a long time and he reminded me about an old crush of mine. I had a big crush on Rhett Butler, was head over heels for him after reading Gone with the Wind. His personality and the perfect romantic picture his masculine presence in the novel, imprinted on my mind, had blown me off my feet . As much as I hated Scarlett O ‘Hara, for her snobbishness, I liked her for her spirit. But I kept feeling that it should not have been her who should have been with Rhett!!! I hated it that a snob like Scarlett got all his attention. My crush on Rhet Butler would have been probably like Scarlett’s feeling for Ashley. (When she finally could have won Ashley, she realized that she is no more attracted to him.) Looking back, I realize how silly a feeling it was because I have come to realize that a Rhet Butler really does not exist, for his very existence will spoil his magnetism. Rhett Butler is like that complicated yet beautiful song which I had imagined myself sing a...
