Passing Thoughts: April 2010
http://randomvibe.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Ideas too ephemeral to turn into a book, significant enough to be written down somewhere. Sunday, April 25, 2010. The Interim Time Machine. I was going through the junk in my wallet (old movie tickets, flight boarding passes, restaurant bills) when I realised that it felt almost like time travel (of course in one direction only: backwards). Each item was like a flashback, some pictures attached to it, some memories, not very special but still charming in a strange way. Look at Navin mama' '! This reminds...

Passing Thoughts: Holy Cow, Heavenly Water
http://randomvibe.blogspot.com/2010/05/holy-cow-heavenly-water.html
Ideas too ephemeral to turn into a book, significant enough to be written down somewhere. Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Holy Cow, Heavenly Water. Last few weeks I was exposed to some of the beliefs/ instructions of the Hindu religion. I noticed that barring the highly revered (and the least read) books, the religious books that populate a common Hindu household have dominance of 4 characters/groups - the Brahmins, the Males, the Ganga and the Cow. The book just harped on:. Why not some other river? Lets look at...

Passing Thoughts: First Things First!

Ideas too ephemeral to turn into a book, significant enough to be written down somewhere. Sunday, April 11, 2010. Question no. 1: Are you emotionally attached to your possessions? Question no. 2: Which one are you attached to the most, the first one or the most recent one? I did not know how to react. I could of course understand her feelings but I could not feel the same for anything I owned. I gave away my first laptop as soon as I had a new one, no guilt, no remorse, no feelings! However I could not d...

Passing Thoughts: September 2009

Ideas too ephemeral to turn into a book, significant enough to be written down somewhere. Monday, September 21, 2009. For all those who are in two minds about watching 'District 9', its a great movie. Its more real than any movie on extra-terrestrials has ever been. And unlike other ET movies which just create another opportunity for the US to be paranoid of the rest of the universe, District 9 is more about the dark side of the humans than an ego boost for the US. Tuesday, September 8, 2009. Brain, I ha...

Passing Thoughts: October 2010

Ideas too ephemeral to turn into a book, significant enough to be written down somewhere. Tuesday, October 12, 2010. Dangers come from unexpected quarters - and at unexpected moments. Coups have always been an inside job - whether it is about giving info on when the King visits his harem or outrightly poisoning his daily dose of aphrodisiac - you always need support from the inner circle. And all I had been doing was potter around under the instructions of a 6 year old! Monday, October 4, 2010. One dad f...

Passing Thoughts: December 2009
http://randomvibe.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Ideas too ephemeral to turn into a book, significant enough to be written down somewhere. Sunday, December 20, 2009. Can we evolve into anything we want if we just keep trying? Darwin seems to suggest that. (or at least the part of Darwinism taught to us in schools). Though when I try to think of all the shortcomings that I would like to get rid of from my system, these seem to be unachievable. Can we protect ourselves from the rain by developing a natural coating like lotus leaves have? Darwin sailed ac...

Ideas too ephemeral to turn into a book, significant enough to be written down somewhere. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. For all practical purposes, I stay in a chawl. It makes no difference that it is not really a chawl but a seven storey brick-n-mortar building. More than where you stay, staying in a chawl is about how you stay. It is, at the cost of sounding cliched, a state of mind. Let me elaborate. Next week, when I reached home at 1 am, one lady comes up to me and says, 'oh you came early! A chawl, ...
