The varied personalities of a regular Homosapien

There was a time when I used to go after Self- Help books like a dog chasing cars. Just as the dog does not know what to do if it caught one , I did not know what to do once I am done reading one. (I did not copy this line from the Joker. It has been in use since way before. Americans may patent the turmeric but they dare not copyright the wise cracks ;) ) But still it made you feel good. As though by the act of having read the book, you have improved your life already. Well may be not. But at least by having endured the book, you have burned away some Karma. Anything that is bitter is medicine. Right? But when life decides to give you the wealth of wisdom, it does not always wrap it up in a treasure chest or an elegant jewellery case. This one came wrapped in plastic. ' Bheja Fry '. Now that is what I call a life changer. It was a low budget movie hosting no stars and taken almost entirely in a house. The movie is probably the second best gift of France to India after Demo...

In the famous words of George Bernard Shaw, “ Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people. ” The first person who comes to our mind in this regard is the Celestial Saint Narada. Having received the blessing that all chaos he generates will ultimately lead only to good, he embarks with a free conscience to spread disorder around the world.

The fact that this king of trouble makers is in turn bedeviled on more than one occasion by Lord Vishnu goes on to show who is the fundamental agent of chaos. However let me not elaborate on that for that goes far beyond the scope of this post ;) On the other extreme, is The Joker. His is the kind of chaos which makes the society understand its own shortcomings, inequities and immoralities which it had taken for granted and learn...

Courtesy: http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/ One is normally allotted a certain amount of indulgence on his birthday. I thought I will carry it all the way by throwing on all of you, a blog. Every person no matter how mundane his existence feels occasional spurts of grandeur arise forth in him. He takes on a different personality at those times. Becomes a leader of men (Note: Only one gender specified), a philosopher, a saint and maybe even GOD. This normally dies down after a while when reality after giving the person a nice smile, politely shows the mirror. The world then goes on and all was well. Unfortunately with the coming of the world of blogging, these moments of grandeur got translated into words and published into eternity on the internet. Though this usually creates only a nuisance, it has surprisingly, some advantages. It is said that there is nothing more powerful than an IDEA whose TIME has come.
