live, learn wisdom...the potterwayy!!!!!!

why doesn't harry potter never stops to inspire me or aspire me lesser?
I think what it taught me.. or the way it continues to teach me.. is more than what the holy books of any religion ceases to teaches me 
harry and lord voldermort were both raised in the same situation -both orphans, ill-treated by everyone. both powerful wizards with exceptional talents... both finding home at Hogwards....!!
both had disregard for rules... both were headstrong.. and determined.. basically both had same qualities.. but one chose to be the dark lord ie, of course Voldermort and the other (read:harry) well didn't really had the choice...greatness was thrust upon him !!!!
It teaches you how it's not life or the circumstances that makes you who you are- but the choices that one does make...determines us as an individual..strong or weak, sly or clever, wise or a fool...!!!!!


Like today I have been watching the first part of harry potter and saw the scene with MIRROR OF ERISED.
This mirror just showed us, as one might put in in Dumbledore'e words, your deepest most desperate desire..the happiest man would be one who sees only his own reflection in the mirror.. harry saw his parents, Ron saw himself as the Quidditch captain and Proffesor Dumbledore saw himself with a pair of socks...
And then the wise man spoke how it does not teach you anything.. nor knowledge nor truth...!!!! It is indeed true.. desires don't teach you anything... the similar has been written in Bhagwad Gita.. where it says that a 'man' who is in control of all it's senses is,how i may put it,SUPERMAN!!! though i might mention i took an offence out of it that what is women supposed to do?///!!!!!! as it mentions only MAN!!!!


Every other bit in the world has something to teach you.. if one is willing to learn.. or value it... knowledge and truth...!! but as easy it may sound it's difficult to follow.........!! Everyother day you are met with difficult choices .. RIGHT AND WRONG.. what do u chose and that will make you the person who you are.. !!!
and knowingly or unknowingly we all understand the right and the wrong....but still people do wrong things..being selfish,mean,lying,cheating.. exploiting the innocence... and so on..!!! it is one of the prime reasons i am in doldrums about GOD  concept..!! It is just us selfish humans...exploiting each other's innocence for our own benefits... why bring god into it!!!! One can only seek wisdom from god..the choice is always yours..!!! 
LOVE, KNOWLEDGE, TRUTH CONQUERS ALL... LONG LIVE HARRYYY POTTER,YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE COULD TEACH ME!!!!
OR RATHER I SHOULD THANK J.K ROWLING.. 

PS-A Little trivia.. about miss.rowling, the concept of 'DEMENTORS' in potter books came from her own days of depression the feeling of emptiness as she had put it was the true idea behind dementors...!!infact she had to purposely keep the lead protagonist as a male 11 year old for a massive mass appeal, because girls will still be willing to read a story about 11 year old  boys.. but not a lot of 11 yr old boys will be willing to read about 11 yr old girl!!
SAD BUT TRUE... GO POTTERR!!\m/

DEMYSTIFYIN WOMEN... MY WAY!


You see women around  as the little girl who peeps at you through her window when you cross her house and suddenly vanishes after seeing you, the old women who grimes at every other person passing by her with a grumpy look, it could be the middle aged pummy aunty/Sharma aunty who is flaunting off her American diamonds, it could be her friends(all females) who are looking at her necklace with hungry eyes and flattering her on her face when we all know they would bitch about her behind her back. You see that freckled girl sitting at a corner of her class busy solving a physics book, or those naughty-catty group of barbies moving in an al a mode in their gangs giving look at every passersby and intimidating them with their insightful piercing look.
You could see that girl next door girl turning into a diva just as she shifts to a metro city, or that intellectual girl who has an opinion on everything but you know what she shies away from boys, she could be that girl who plays football with the men and guess what she is better than them but that is the reason no guy looks at her!!! It could be the the ultimate social butterfly, the gossip girl who knows all her who’s who! She is also the one who could compromise on her values just to achieve what she wants, but don’t judge her you don’t know what made her so. She could be a trophy wife who just flaunt her husband’s money while he is busy cheating on her with some other women. Now the other woman is either with him as she has never seen a good man in her life or maybe because of the money. She could be the snob who looks down upon on everyone as apparently no one can be as good as her.
She could be the strong ambitious straight forward woman who just wants to fulfil her career goal, she might seem she doesn’t have heart or has no emotions.. but really think again! Then there are those who do not need a man to complete her intellectually or emotionally, and those who read mills and boons the entire day, and dream of a vampire super-hero! She could be the ultimate wannabe who thinks if she behaves in a certain way she will be cool.. but we all know where that is going. She could be that old ancient aunt who still lives in 1950’s and would lecture you on ‘sansakari-sabhyata’..
She is the one who thinks about her family first, who gives away her life and her dreams away just to be with her child. She is the one who fights for her rights and for others too, she can be the strongest ruler the world has ever seen or the dumbest hotel princess (read:paris hilton) who cares only about her hair and shoes and her pet poodle’s hair and shoes, but beware it could just be ploy of hers she could be a shrewd business women inside and no one would ever know. She has been saint mira, could be austen,or is it the loud mouthed rakhi sawant(yes, she is also a women,Techincalyy don’t be so hard on her).
This and so much more.....
I could have described you or someone who know.... you can love her you can hate her but you cannot ignore her
The key to understanding a women is not to try to understand her just RESPECT her for who she is. Treat her the way she wants to be treated. this is not just for the men out there but also to the fellow lovely ladies too.. who see themselves and likes of them everyday around them but perhaps ignore or forget that they after all  belong to the same set of chromosomes and hence share a special comradely with one and all.. it’s just RESPECT  yeah a little show of an understanding that she wants..but well it goes more hazy from there also, doesn’t it.. enjoy !!**laugh**
Wishing you all the lovely ladies A HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY !

Feminism..


 Feminism is the new buzzword entertained by the global village today. Clearly feminism is a much needed notion or rather an awareness to be created in our society, especially in India. A country which ranks 134 in human development index (UNDP), a place where about 26% of the population is below the poverty line and about 45% of the population below the international poverty line, a place where issues of gender discrimination, female infanticide, dowry deaths, makes the headlines every day, a country whose gender ratio is one of the poorest in the world, feminism is the much needed ideology to be inculcated in our society and not at a superficial level but at a strong deeper levels. Initially the word “feminism” meant qualities of women, later on it defined the women movements on liberty and equal rights, and now, it advocates strong beliefs that females are equal to males and hence they should have an equal contribution in social, political, religious and economical spheres of society.

Initially Indian or “Hindustani” culture worshipped female goddesses like lakshmi, saraswati, durga etc. These deities are still worshipped by the Hindus today but the true meaning of the female power that they projected somehow got lost in the way. Many sociologists and theologists have observed that a community which worships a female goddess are far more gender-tolerant and respectable towards females than the ones which worship male gods.                                                          But if we critically analyse almost every religion have some or the other rules which interprets that females have an inferior status to males. Hinduism on a whole is ambiguous about the status of females as on one hand it preaches female- “shakti” but on the other preaches certain rules on conduct of life and death which clearly limits the role of females as the less worthy one. Islam has somehow earned a reputation of being unfair to the females but many Islamic feminists believe that the holy Quran is wrongly interpreted and “Allah” considers every human equal but sadly such thought is not entertained by the majority people of that community. The church does not allow females to be the pope and the much barbaric incident of the “Salem- witch hunt”, which as some historians believe was a step to bring down the pagan practices of prayer of these independent females who were losing faith in the church was never properly justified by the church.  No one can dispute that Religion is “man-made”& not god made, but clearly this “man” had some major issues of giving females an equal status before god and society.
 Well, this “man” definitely does not get the power to determine the status of females before god but got the power to determine the status of females in the society, and this “man” was not wise in doing his job in fact he turned out to be a megalomaniac, and the saddest part was that he succeeded in preaching what he wanted and today’s unjust society validates it’s succession
Whenever there is a war situation between two countries or a dispute between two communities’ females becomes the first victim to the wrath of the enemy, the assault on females becomes a sport in these situations all over the world, even in the mythological stories and characters like Ramayana, Iliad or promiscuous Zeus (Greek mythology) project the same idea.
The government always declare schemes to uplift women and the underprivileged part of the society.” Women” and “underprivileged” come under the same ambit for them. It is as if women are born underprivileged because this is the message the government is giving to the public. Sure there are lot of females who are underprivileged but government and other organizations always create an image of all females being underclass which is not good for the morale of the public.
Females are robed of the credit of their contribution in the society and state. Their potential by and large are underestimated by the entire society even by females themselves which is not a shocker because most of them are raised with the notion that they are inferior to males and their life should only be about taking orders from the men in their lives-father, brother then the husband and finally sons. Even education has not been able to do much to change such a mind set. The domestic art is the only art females have been raised to learn, and of course creating babies is another.
Sure things are changing we have females in every field working hard, soaring high, but it’s just a handful of them. The basic mentality of people has not changed, especially in India. Here parents would want their girls to get married off rather than have ambitious careers and one of the major reasons behind it is the ubiquitous dowry system which takes away most of a girl’s education fund and converts it into a marriage fund. “Trophy wives” and “arm candies” are far more celebrated concept than “female independence”.
The recent slut walk at Delhi was one of the examples of a shallow understanding of feminism in our country. With all due respect these educated females were far more interested in making their clothes morally correct than protesting against issues like female infanticide. A country which does not even allow many of its female child to live and prefer killing them when they are not even born how will they allow them to dress they like.

It has also to be understood that feminism is not chivalry or charity but it is an awareness or moral needed to have a balanced society. It in no way preaches female superiority but advocates equality of gender and rightful position of females in our society. Male and female power needs to work together as equals to evolve our society as something more developed intellectually and passively in every other way. It’s only when the yin and yang of our society be balanced than there will be peace and harmony in this world.

an open letter to my estranged lover: mathematics a.k.a maths

dear maths,

i know you must be quite busy, being pampered by those nerds or being fantasized about by those IIT-aspiring scholars.The chances of you reading this are as bleak as my getting a full marks in your tests..
you have been my child-hood companion.. I changed schools, classes and towns.. but you always stayed with me. we could have been best- friends you know.. you, me a pen and a copy where we could have had the pleasure of solving your sweet verses. BUT, you..... !!!

 I started with basics, addition was easy.. but subtraction!!!.. you were so shallow, as you don't let numbers "let go"
...confused me like hell!! but i conquered it, i sure did, took me time.. but i did all for you...
 then came multiplications..... TABLES***horror**!!!..
  
somethingh which i haven't YET  completely conquered...but i am still trying.. these 20 yrs if necessary more..you see i am doing my best.., just for you.. to win your approval..

As time went by you introduced me to Mr. X who came with his own bunch of problems.. every time,in every question in every chapter with a different identity.. i know/suspect for a fact (and every one does) that he's some kind of con-artist or an impostor i believe i would like to see his passport.. but blinded by  your love i still helped him with all my regard, just asking in return only for what was mine... GRADES...but that mean..( and i mean selfish mean not average mean)...took advantage of me  and brought more of his friends- y,z a,b,c,d.... etc and burdened me with their problems too


i have been strong through all this, keeping my self happy with average grades,getting scolded by my parents (ugh!! they seem to love you, i was good in English, but yet my parents have inhibitions about it, which would not have been there if we both had a good relations) and those pathetic side-glances of class-nerds giving me"maths loves me more" looks.. grrrr made me sooooo jealous
i hope you were happy, putting me into misery and embarrassment..
you are a sadist who loves to laugh on my deplorable condition..


But then you changed, i realised i was good in algebra.. Mr x and miss.a,b,c had started being all nice to me in algebraic domain...i thought you also returned my consideration.. a little,, but then again ARITHMETIC, GEOMETRY!!!.... for crying out loud!!!! you love playing with my feelings don't you..!!!


In my 10th std i worked hard to understand you.. well then you ditched me in my BOARD EXAMZZ...
i picked myself up, i could have  dropped you in +2.. but still... i gave you a chance in 12th.. i did better.. we had a good relation and we functioned greatly.. with calculus and all.


I wanted to understand you deeply and i tried so hard.. but you with your little tantrums ruined me for every one else..
But time and again i keep coming back to you...
like now  call me whatever you like..

BUT...let bygones be bygones
i recently had a fresh start with you....... i have cat exams in hardly three months.... you have not been nice to me my entire life..you picked on me.. played with my emotions... but.. please for the sake of our childhood companionship.. last time.. and the only time i want what i worked for.. marks!!..  you owe me.. after all that i have done for you.... uhh,ok i don't deserve you,OK i am not good enough..for you.. i know you are not bad inside.. but just please make it easier for me... i assure you this time I'll work even more harder to not only be in your good books, but be able to solve them too...
you know even if you don't come to me.. I'll keep coming back  to you...and make you so sick that you will have to take me back..






love,
anomic math learner

Synchronicity


This is my first post as a LBC blogger..and i am two weeks late for my first post due to some, let's just call that "  technical difficulties"
But here i am back with my..post.. synchronicity..!! 


Synchronicity……….. synchronization.. to be in sync…!!
Not only it comes with a complicated spelling but with complicated meaning too, due its toilsome applicability.
Music, dance or any form of art looks exquisitely pleasing to the senses when  Synchronized without sync no matter how wonderful the artists are, would give a horrible performance,it is quintessential for dance performances,especially in group to be in synch, which happens to be the most grueling part of the dance.
Any group effort without synchronization would undisputed be doomed, but achieving synchronicity is a very difficult task to handle.
In my life, I have quite a handful of activities which are…
 Sleepin and eating yes,for me they count as activities I cannot compromise on sleep n esp, on food, eating is my hobby and talent too, but no one really recognizes that… anyways!!!
  
I have my studies,but.. yeah takes only few moments of my day
  
Net surfing or to be exact facebooking , it’s my second home,

 Watching movies, I am a big time movie buff.

Watching sitcoms.. right now. I am hooked on to  how I met your mother season 6, castle season 3 and glee season 2 will be aired soon  next.. I watch deperate housewives too some times.. I am a huge fan a eva longoria.

Besides them, of course, reading.. I am a voracious reader,and when I am devouring myself to books all the other activities, except eating, yes even sleeping, takes a back seat.i completed my last book on monday  a thousand splendid suns by khalid hossieni.. I am goin to start midnight’s children by salman rushdie soon..(if you have any reading sugestions please do give it to me on my comment box)

Hmm and… yes and of course hanging around with my friends.. and enjoying life..
So yeah I have a lot of activities and I have to make them all go in a sync..that’s 
how the synchronicity rolls for me in day to day life.
