Mind and Matter( Brain) two things different from each other but very often used interchangably.
The powers of the mind are yet to be uncovered.
Today we have the best of the scientific knowledge and years of research on neurology or the study of the brain. however what we know is only 10 % of what our brain can actually perform. the rest of the powers of the brain is still unknown. There is so much that the human brain can perform that is still not explained.
so how is the mind different from the brain. somewhere feel tthat the Brain is the apparatus and mind is like the experiment. the intangible asset but very valuable and much powerful over the brain. more like a subset of each other. together yet apart.
we are aware of the various functions of the brain and how each part of the body or each activity is ruled by the brain. be it anything from any biological, emotional , physiological need or activity. each and everything is controlled by the grey matter residing in that cubic space between your two ears.
few things that i had read about made me think about this subject . one was the ability of the ancient sages to create miracles. It was no magic but pure utilisation of the powers of the mind.these sagess could create things out of mid-air just by using their highest level of concentration power. the entire universe is made of particles. its only when these particles come together in a specific combination thats when we get what we have. So these sages just used the power of their mind to bring together the particles in the air, combine them in a specific manner and to create materialistic things such as fruits or water.
What these sages did in ancient time does continue even today though in a different manner. practice of reiki or what we call the telepathy are the examples of the power of the mind.
I feel the Human mind is the most beautiful creation of God. Mind lets you think, imagine and dream. The brain shows you the way to acheive it, helps to realise your dreams.

The Unconventional Life
Been wondering about this topic since i seem to be using this word " Unconventional Life" a bit too often these days.
So what do i write.. what the conventional life is and how i perceive the unconventional life to be?
or what i expect from life...little things which are unconventional... or rather people think they are so..
ok.. so whats the conventional life about.... in my perception... conventional life would be.. the typical one.. very similar to the existence of an animal for that mattter or any living organism. you are born.. you fight for survival. for food.. to mate.. for shelter.. and then once ur job is done.. then fine day.. its end of the story.. and teh cycle continues with a new hero or herione..and so it goes on... similar to humans.. there r so many of us.. Who just Exist.. for the sake of it. Maybe even I am doing the same as of now. Just leading a mere existence.. and not leading a life.. these two happen to be very different things..Do we actually understand the difference between the two.. or we do understand but fail to acknowledge it.. maybe due to different reasons... at times it could be that we are so engrossed in the rat race that we often tend to forget to LIVE!!!!
thats what i mean by "Unconventional Life".. a life where you LIVE by your terms. do things that satisfy your soul and not because it would satisfy someone else's demands. (I aint hinting at being self obsessed or self centred and be ignorant towards our duties.)
Somewhere even that "I" is important... need to listen to your heart.. what your heart wants.. fulfill its wishes... thats the way to keep it happy... just live your life by your own rules... make your dreams come true..trust your instincts.... live life by the moment.. you never know if you would make it till the next moment.
and if ever there are any moments of distress.. just tell your heart.. " AALL IZZ WELL"".. and so shall it be ....:)

Jago Re!!!
Election time is here again!!!!
Earlier the mantra of the political parties would be Vote Do Vote Do!!! Now it’s the junta which says Vote Karo Vote Karo!!!!
Par koi yeh toh bataye.. vote kare toh kare kisko???
Nowadays there are these social groups or organizations who have taken voting and the elections as their mission. Objective is to change the system. The youth is being targeted as they seem to be a considerable size of the vote bank.
Yeah we are aware it is our fundamental right to vote. And it is a duty towards ourselves, our society and our nation at large for every individual to vote. Also heard other phrases such as every vote counts, we have the power in our hands and the likes. (We did study some civics in school)
But…ting tong... Come back to reality. Is just voting going to bring about the desired changes in our Indian political theatre… which has the best possible drama happening of all the time!!! And secondly does our responsibility end by casting our vote?
Next Question: whom should we vote??? Well we have a wide variety of options available in our country (thanks to ridiculous and innumerous reasons for which we have political parties formed) but unfortunately not many have proved their worth or their words. How can we build a democratic system where the fundamentals of the parties are based on issues like religions, castes or regions in a country which is supposed to be secular since ages? Do we focus on being progressive or tend to be rather regressive in our approach towards development and growth? Do we wish to have an overall development or just focus on developing certain sections of the society or certain areas. This brings us to the point: are we truly a democratic nation? Do we actually believe in the fundamentals which were laid by ours leaders or the freedom fighters? Or is it just pseudo democracy or pseudo Secularism that we follow. Are we focusing at developmental politics or divisive politics??
Going back to the question so whom should we vote. If you consider at the national level as of now we have the UPA, the NDA and the Third Front. Can we choose one amongst these? There is no one best out here... So obviously has to be the one who is the least worst… have to work the other way... Tick off the worst ones….. Its all about choosing the lesser Evil!!!!
The above questions have been bothering me for some time now. How my one vote would make a difference to the nation? I guess I won’t be the only one who would be thinking so.
To begin with I decided to change my thought process. Instead of asking how my one vote would make a difference I decided to ask myself ‘How can I make a difference with my one vote?’ How can I ensure my vote doesn’t go waste and somewhere somehow it makes a difference to my country.
Answer: Read more. Grab any bit information that is available.
Know more about the people who are going to be in the policy making chair.
Be unbiased. Don’t let any prejudices overrule your thought process. Have an open approach. Judge strictly by weighing the positives against the negatives (well negatives happen to outbalance the positives over here but when pitted against the negatives in each other we can get some breakthrough)
Do your own research. When you talk to people on these issues there are chances you might tend to be influenced by their thought process subconsciously. So hear all that you can but listen to what your mind says.
Analyze what you want from the government. What are the issues that need to be addressed? Which things need to be condemned: corruption, criminal record of the politicians, exploitation and abuse of the power? Finally try to meet your ideas with that of the political parties for the best interest of the country. Overall we have an idea what each of the three coalitions stand for. So choose which one you would want to support or rather work it from the other way. Choose the one you would never want to support. Maybe that would be easier.
If each one of us puts some efforts to in order to make our vote worthwhile maybe then we would have a somewhat democratic government where no matter who is forming the government there would be some amount of the nation’ s say in it.
And let us not forget the most important thing. Our duty does not end by casting our vote. In fact that’s where our job begins and it is a continuous one. Stop blaming the government for each and every thing. You are equally responsible towards your country. Try and understand that something’s are beyond anybody’s control. Some things good or bad will always happen. The difference lies how each one deals with such situations.
Next time you blame your government for unclean roads. Stop littering in the first place and stop others from doing so. You are stuck in the traffic and wish to blame the government for not providing proper roads ensure you follow the traffic rules before you do that. Try and minimize your contribution towards environmental pollution. Analyze your every action and the repercussions associated with it.
There is a lot to do if we wish to for our country in our own little ways. We just need the will to do it. And for a change act rather than just talk or blame.
When we point a finger at someone else there are always the other four pointing at us.
