Feel my love??

Look back into how humans evolved. Has there been a single theory that has approved the source of human evolution? Can you ever trace back a root?

Just because you are a dark skinned primate of southern India, could you be a Dravidian? Is it no way possible that over the past several years your ancestors never migrated or commuted? Can you always call a white skinned Aryan as an outsider? Has the Aryan invasion theory ever been proved!! Are all civilizations of the world excavacted? Answer yourself!

Dont you think religion was a way of life defined by a set of highly intellectual people? Dont you think its possible that you could be a migrant who started following that religion? Isnt people the basis of any religion? Dont people come first and then the religion?

Why are there so many fanatics around?

Marriage in the same religion was advised only because of compatibility of the same style of living. If the compatibility is there elsewhere too, dont you think its justified?

Needless to say that the ones who are fighting for their religion have their rights to do it, but cant we stay way from violence?

Dont you think it was the rajasik, thamasik and satvik gunas that were used to classify people? Wasnt it the humans who started off castes and sub-castes? It started somewhere, it created havoc and now it has to end somewhere, isnt we ourselves who need to end it? Why again are we getting into reservations and stuffs?

Arent languages a subset of proto languages? There are so many root words that languages across the universe share, isnt that enough to say that we share some common emotional bonding atleast? why do we use this commonness to separate than to bond?

Isnt there some educational system that focusses over the next 20 years and get minds to think straight? Is there no end to such foolishness? - - - - - - - - - - -

" I WOULD SAY NO! WE CREATED OURSELVES, WE NEED TO DESTROY OURSELVES. ANY CREATIVE THOUGHT WOULD BE PUNISHED. "

Outside all this, I have a life and thats the life I love. Refine yourself to feel my love.

A man goes to the lawyer and says - " I need to change my name legally". The lawyer starts shouting at him - " No, no, its very difficult, i have to before the court and the formalities are too big and the court wont allow you.. blah blah blah, by the way whats your name". The man replies - " John dick". The lawyer starts off - " Ok, no way, lets go to the court. We need to change your name."

The lawyer submits all the required documents before the court and tells the judge: - "We have a name change request." The judge starts off : - " No, no, its very difficult, it takes too much formalities and it will never finish... blah blah blah, by the way whats your client's name?". The lawyer replies - " John dick". The judge starts off - " Ok, no way, lets start the process. We need to change his name."

Intelligence in Transportation & other systems

It may be looking at 20 years into the future and also the adaptability of such intelligence to Indian conditions is questionable, never the less, let me cite some abstract ideas:

Before these concepts, one needs to keep these words in italics in mind :

The expensive and inexpensive still could be a relative term as in you spend the same amount of money that you spend on your car to drive from Yelhanka - Electronic city and it would be termed expensive. The government can bank upon the sheer volume of traffic to compensate for their treasuries without a loss. The wiser ones would though choose to use intelligent networks as it leaves them with more money and hence the income : expenditure ratio automatically shoot up. This essentially means that they could afford a better standard of living .

1. Use your car or any vehicle to travel to your short distance ( Ex: Jayanagar – Majestic ) destinations and it works really well and inexpensive. Use them on a normal day for long distances and the toll will eat up the benefits you had. On a weekend or holidays, such tolls can be rebated and weekend trips become all of a sudden affordable. The beautifully laid six lane highways are a must for collecting a toll though. Still, the option is available for the highly affordable ones and in case of emergencies.

2. Traveling around to the corners of the city with public transportation like a metro, bus or an ELRTS should be inexpensive and affordable. For traveling longer distances, one ends up spending serious money. Providing multiple carriers distributes it among the different carriers and provides breathing space.

3. High speed rails and fast buses between closer cities like Mysore-Bangalore so that it can be done in 45 mins flat could be affordable, but travelling Bangalore - Gulbarga could still be expensive, but an open option for the affordables.

4. Bullet trains for travel between not so close cities ( For ex: Bangalore - Davangere ) in 1 hour flat can be extremely affordable, but traveling in those for short distances ( For ex: Electronic City to Majestic ) could be expensive, but still an open option for affordable.

5. Use a flight for travel within the state and it turns out very expensive, but travel outside the state and it can be very cheap. Again the numbers would compensate for the total turnover.

Now, design of such intelligence systems are a completely different topic and would need expertise in town development and transportation networking to debate and argue over this before reaching a consensus, but these ideas are just to give a direction.

What we could aim with such a system is a well networked cities, distributed towns and cities development that means lesser real estate booms and lesser inflations and a better standard of living, retaining democratic principles like “ If I can afford I will travel any way”, avoiding sentiments like “ Outsiders have ruined my city” etc etc etc .

Your opinions please.

Games of the circles of Intimacy

I have grown up with some of my own theories and one such is this circles of intimacy. I have always believed that there are three circles of friends/relatives/acquaintaces.

1. Inner circle : This circle of humans are the ones whom you open to most. They know the in and out of you and understand you as much you understand yourself. I somehow believe that if someone in the inner circle is not a critic if you, he/she does not fit to be in there as they really dont care if you are doing something wrong by branding it as - " Its your life ".

2. Intermediate circle : This circle of humans are whom you interact on a daily basis. You need them for everything. Afterall we are social beings. Life would be colorless without this circle. I have had terrific fun with this circle of humans and have fresh memories of events dating back 12 years too. They mean something to you, but still dont mean much.

3. Outer circle : You keep stumbling upon them every now and then and have treasured moments of life with them too. But there are rare instances when I actually think of anyone of them. Since I dont know them personally, many of their lives seem to fascinate me and have even wondered if I could have a life like one of them. Every now and then the truth of their lives being an external fantasy stares at my face.

I have seen these circles moving into and out of each other. The closest friends all of a sudden move out into the outer circle and with the advent of time some in the outer circle move into the inner.

Having pondered across and thought over for these hours now, I now realize that I can find a reason why each of the person who is in my outer/intermediate circle lies there and why they continue to lie there. But, I have never been able to realize why those who have lasted for long in the inner circle ever became my inner circle.

The more and more I move away from the inner circle I start realizing different faces of life and meeting more intermediate and outer circles hoping that a new entry adds on into the inner circle. Some keep trying to break into the inner circle and all of a sudden disappear out into the outer circle.

Am I happy and safe with the inner circle? Why are we unable to make a single circle in life. What is security with any one of the circle?

Solitude brings these on the surface and makes you think of such things. Within minutes, you are back to life not wanting to think of any such things. Thats the life I love.

What a game!
