Perceptions and Reality: Trees over Forest - Ideal of Imagination: A Blog by Nikhil Chandra

Personally, I think we spend far too much time examining the forests without ever seeing the trees. It is kinda herd mentality...one of which we are accustomed and eventually moulded to see in order to decipher and arrive at meanings and perceptions. I decided some time ago to begin phasing that out of my life. Life is never generalization..

Sometime in course of my life - I am not sure when - I decided not to listen to anyone talking about generalizations...

We create forests all the time, without ever examining the trees in that forest. We create forests of nationality, language, and skin pigmentation...of regions, language, creeds and geography. We create forests of Hindus, Muslims and atheists. We create forests of us and them. I guess Buddha and Nanak might be turning in their graves

It's only when you no longer drift - mind you Siddhartha was a king and a married person with nothing else to aspire for - it's when you think it's time to let go and there's nothing worth to aspire to...that's when you attain Nirvana...coz that's end of your life and being.

The Boy who Lived

The Boy who Lived

You might be wondering by now if this crazy f*** grew up or not or say – to do the poetic justice to the aforementioned phrase – watchamacallit developed a super ego or not. You see I have read my Freud and I have also read my Cather in the Rye. Do I want to become one? Well the question then would be what actually really do I want to become. A Freud, Holden Caulfield, or just the Cigar?

Nirvana - A Conscious Decision - Ideal of Imagination: A Blog by Nikhil Chandra

Life is not what is quoted about it from some philosophers and sadists and dead ...its what you experience and live...no one has a right or for that matter wisdom to tell you what it is...its for you alone to discover, explore and live.

Himalayan Adventure: A Pilgrim’s Progress to Tungnath – Finding Neverland - Ideal of Imagination: A Blog by Nikhil Chandra

'At last they entered a world within a world - a valley of leagues where the high hills were fashioned of a mere rubble and refuse from off the knees of the mountains. .....Surely the Gods live here!' said Kim, beaten down by the silence and the appalling sweep and dispersal of the cloud-shadows after rain. 'This is no place for men!'
Rudyard Kipling - Kim

But if you are a poet or person, you might hear or feel something akin to what Wordsworth did on revisiting Tintern Abbey. The sound of silence pervading the sanctuary is intense and it may mesmerize you or it might even alienate you. It’s totally subjective BTW. In the very beginning we spotted a family of Indian foxes and were elated by the prospect of what could be in store inside when peripheral area could offer such sight. In our elation and high hopes we didn’t even bothered to shoot them – from camera I mean. Well it did enlighten me a bit though. Adages are also as subjective as it can get. First impressions need not necessarily be the last impression as we find out to our disappointment.
