Men-Poor Souls
Something vaguely similar happens to these poor souls,whose descent into this mundane world is thanks to the X-chromosome's embrace by egg ovulated by the members of she tribe.
These poor creatures can be spotted in these gargantuan edifices- (in layman's parlance-MALLS),whose democratic credentials aren't suspect but do fall short of impeccable (but you shall spot high gentry rubbing shoulders literally,jostling to get a foothold along with lesser mortals breathing in noiseless cold air bellowing from humongous contraptions),carrying multi-hued,multi-sized cases in whose cavernous depths spoils of the day are ensconced .In my utterly carefree days of single hood my every outing to malls I used to witness this spectacle frolickingly marching towards its grand finale on the eve of weekends.
I used to gloat at their plight much to their chagrin,their faces hiding emotions of resignation and ennui behind a facade of quite delight- a regular subterfuge.Their furtive glances, with commiseration as the only expression, towards their ilk couldn't have been taken otherwise.
Sometimes their eyes would twinkle with malicious delight and sadistic pleasure thinking that someday, somebody who enjoying his salad days, might also become a member of this fraternity. Their ennui afflicted countenance was a sharp contrast to the glowing and ravishing faces of their better halves whose exuberance (irrational -I thought and still thinks so) at the sight of rows and rows of glittering shops.

Jottings
Since the beginning of time or was there any beginning or it should be phrased that when man’s spatial consciousness perturbed him to search for a tangible entity .How we evolved and distanced from our ape ancestors has always been a subject which has engrossed the fact finders.
Who thought to find that there was a dimension which would then be eventually called time .Here we can safely assume that that some that man must have linked dawn and night as a recurring event with certain gap left between them.
Well most of the time what sets me thinking that what is the purpose of life .Are we here because of some reason or just billions of people living on earth are just a aberration in this complex scheme of things we witness. Why did human brain evolved whereas mostly all other living beings and organisms haven’t developed “consciousness” as thought by us. What exactly is consciousness .Does a dog has a consciousness or for that matter an amoeba has one .why do we crave for a greater understanding of human psyche. Many great minds have devoted their lifetime in trying to unravel the mystery behind all this.
One this is very perturbing that as we have evolved in this tiny speck of a solar system -if there are other signs of what we call life in the universe. We have evolved after a lot of changes brought by Nature making life a bipolar arrangement for evolution but the earlier organisms like single cell amoeba were essentially evolved from a unipolar arrangement. What was the agenda behind nature to have a bipolar system.When we look deeper into the matter the negatively charged particle electron loosely revolves around nucleus consisting neutrons and protons .Can we break electrons further into smaller building blocks or the other two particles.If it can be done then what shall be the building block not an atom but something more transient and smaller than it. The quantum physics has yet to reach that stage where it can be said that the final frontier is reached.
The inquisitive and restless nature of human mind has created such a monster whose has insatiable appetite for knowledge. What already is known is hardly anything .There are many questions or doubts which human intellect has failed to answer satisfactorily.
Sometimes you are surprised by the sudden rising of emotions, feelings for something which could be anything from sewer’s odour or an image of carcass lying splattered on road, absolutely fresh flowers ,small drops of dew accumulated in morning on blades of grass shining like pearls on a placid verdure sea .Many a times images plain lacking in any excitement just like a torn rag fluttering in hot June’s wind .Like a damp cloth lying in a corner of house waiting for somebody to end its misery. There I was going in and out of drug induced sleep.Different thought were rushing past each other in my mind barely telling me what they meant .What they were after was a quest for something.
Time is an entity which scientists suggest is Fourth dimension with only forward movement at its own leisurely pace .Why not to and fro movement is not possible.
Had this been possible we could have saved Hiroshima,Nagasaki , holocaust or the other genocides .A future visit would have been fruitful in terms of knowing what shall happen.All this contradicts free will or unpredictability of events like a dice thrown can give any outcome and still possible to repeat that .Why would that happen if this was to happen then there is no free will – all events have a immutable outcome but can the path taken be the same or different .What will happen in case of finite and measurable outcome like every time we multiply 2 x 2 it remains same considering our reference of space and semantics .If we throw a dice the outcome may be equal or not .How could we influence the outcome by changing the dice with a biased dice.Then no free will is there.Our thought process is free unless we see it first .After the initial meeting we start thinking afresh from a new angle which may prove better or worse for us .

Sometimes you get knocked over by stone in your path but what happens when you are sailing smoothly in calm sea .Then there is a tendency to take things lightly like a caterpillar gets ensconced in a cocoon unmindful of cruel world outside. What we see may be a camouflaged attempt to give a feeling a calmness.

This is a prelude to the chaotic activity which will happen once this is out While I say chaos –would this mean only randomness and irregularity .Chaos has some order inherent to it. Even entropy has some ordered behavior. Events can’t happen with this basis. Every event is preordained or has some cause for it to occur. Whether it was formation of universe, birth of our solar system, origin of life on earth , mankind ruling the planet earth. While all these events, may be not all the events, but some of events were instantaneous without any basis. Why did universe formed –an infinitesimally small piece of densest mass exploded .
Well this enigma flummoxes as well as invites one’s mental faculties for an exploration of the unknown.
Every time you stumble upon an unknown seldom an earnest effort is out in to ascertain about form, feature etc. While buzzing of bees while gathering nectar from flowers appear absolutely random but it has an element of order in it. The mathematics behind this may be esoterically complex.

It was a sweltering summer day, sun rays were so hot that even sand was burning with invisible smoke. The earth’s crust was cracked so deep that it felt as if some irregular shapes have formed on the surface. Not even a single drop of water had fallen on this dry bed of cursed land from the firmament for the last four years. The blazing sun’s inexorable onslaught had taken its toll on the people’s lives. No one was spared from the merciless torture of nature. Every day passed was a lifetime- a victory with hope. Every gasp of air sucked would burn from nasal passage to lungs. There was no sign of flies, mosquitoes or other insects. People would not come out from their hovels otherwise their brain would roast in this heat.
The cool zephyr which once gently caressed the beautiful manes of village girls now had morphed into an angry howling dust storm which blew all day.Not even the night was a respite-the dull yellow light of moon also felt like a pale shadow of day’s light. Most of the time dust would engulf moon in its black coat. Every time Moon tried to get out of this frightful hold the storm overwhelmed it.
As per tradition village elders would gather at their peer’s place and discuss about the nature’s fury- the ways and means to placate her. Goddess Nature-Her scornful eyes glowing like an amber could burn holes. She seething with anger, her bosom heaving .
I'm Earth-ARMAGEDDON
I'm wind who caresses your raven hued tresses.I'm light which shines on you.
I'm water flowing with an urgency to wash away the dirt on you.I'm noble earth in whose womb you will lie down one day.
I'm nature manifesting all its rawness,beauty,force,unsparing and cruel at times.I have seen your evolution and I remember every detail .I ,with deep sense of nostalgia wish those halcyon days can come back.My beauty has been marred by your inexorable pursuit to gains more means to exploit me.My every part is sore and festering wounds are rotting my innards.I have suffered and now my patience has run out.
I want to exterminate you like you have done to so many others beings.I feel these malicious deeds all because of your avarice will be your undoing.You have rapaciously ravaged my green cover oblivious to the fact that it was your shield from merciless onslaught of elements.In the history of evolution no other species has helped itself into extinction but you will be that exception.I'm too powerful to succumb to your evil actions.Drought,Hurricane,flood,earthquake -you are witnessing these days are precursor to the havoc I will wreak on final day.That day shall be known as THE ARMAGEDDON.

Rambling of a vagrant mind
Perhaps It was the moment and my feeble mind that I nearly lost all my senses. I have been down with fever for quite a few days and the sultry weather accompanied with oppressive humidity had only aggravated my condition.I stared blankly at her.Her face smeared with streams of perspiration,dishevelled hair,her frail body wrapped in rags which could hardly conceal her chest,her bare feet tapping the tarred road which was so hot that it could give you second degree burns if tried to put your barefoot on it.
Once I regained my composure,I started to grapple with the profundity of the query and my own inability to articulate what I felt. I had always thought that I was an apotheist, never in vociferous denial nor in absolute acceptance of a divine being.It was always an issue which I always steered clear.It was an epiphanous moment.
