Am I in the present....? yes!

The students seated...There's commotion... the professor enters the class with a laptop in his hand.
Connecting it to the projector the slideshow begins....
To add to the visual element,,, theres sum decently audible commentry to emphasize each slide in detail.
This is how the class goes on for about two and half hours and ultimately the crux of the entire session is....
"Think Futuristic"!!
Be it any subject, any module, any seminar..this is what is been instilled in the minds.
Visualise and imagine things that will be there in future.....
Sounds interesting rite...?
Yes as a designer, quite an innovative task to create concepts for the future, without having any realistic constraints.
But actually speaking, am I really being futuristic..?? or am I just trying to exaggerate the present technology on some hypothetical base... just to be different..!
These are some of the questions that rise in my mind and then I couldn't stop laughing to see my proposed designs in animated form" talking to me...and saying..
"I am the future!"
Yes it is funny..
Mind wanders in the past, no matter how much you convince.
The prior associations that make me relate things to my past memories.!
And then I am expected to think about future...
In the entire process.. only one question that pops up asking me about my existence in the present....yes mentally!
This reminded me of a dialogue fron Rang de Basanti"., that I had enjoyed a hearty laugh..
One leg in the past and One leg in the future and shitting in the present!
Is this what I am doing...??
uh huh...NO !!

"Conscious, U there?''

It happens that sometimes you enjoy being alone. Experiencing solitude gives you pleasure. You feel like being with no one around.... You find peace in that loneliness. And that state of mind refreshes your mind and takes you far far away ..,.by the medium of thoughts.But can I ask you one thing.."When you are alone, are you really so?. No ,not really, .Our conscious is standing erect and touring you all different worlds with different faces of yours popping up.More on this I want to say...-- We are built up of so many different minds exhibiting their different interests at different times .Also we take it at our own stride. But there is definitely one stage ,"the conscious level that makes you realise the rights and the wrongs. So to feel ,just go on with it..In your solitariness ,interact with your conscious that is whole n sole yours.Share your things, justify your actions then.. I am sure that this personified being' will definitely find out a way for you and will su...

Artist v/s An engineer

For those who are viewing this blog with the expectations of having any disputes then chill... ! Nothing of that sort. Just that many of my relatives and friends are engineers and there has been difference of opinion at times [both right in their own way], that I felt like writing on this..... As far as academics are concerned, definitely engineering students have to struggle a lot . Artists on the other hand, enjoy their lives thoroughly observing nature, its beauty and bringing it on either canvas or paper, may be in the form of paintings, poems or writings. They are indeed fortunate enough to appreciate the beauty[ no matter where they can find], and give a proper justice to it...!! Engineers are very practical people always filled with questions like why, how, when," in their their mind and are always in search of answers for the same.. I am not saying that artists don't reason things but they enjoy having their own assumptions and creating their own abstract ideas on a pa...

Xperiencing Death : will be an adventure...!

I have always seen people getting scared of death.The thought that 'I am going to die one day', causes goosebumps in majority of people's case.{well, there can be exceptions}.But mostly people that I have come across fear death... So to them I would like to say,.. death is a very certain thing " that is going to happen may be early or late. So why to stop living with the fear of dying one day.....? Instead we can increase the lifespan by enjoying every moment of life, living life king size .....!! And let death come at its own time.Mind it,when things happen on time ,they have their own grace. Just as every age has its own glory,similarly the time of death will also have its own charm. From my imagination I feel that experiencing death will also be very thrilling ,that will enliven your different existence.Its like backing off outdated attire.[present body], and putting on the newer , going with the trend! So isn't that great......... Second perception that I woul...
