Peshawar children are no more

(this post is in condolences of the little children killed by Taliban militants in Peshawar, Pakistan on 15 Dec 2014)

Today is a sad morning for humanity. Today my heart fills with grief for inhuman act of this killing. Today I feel more bad than I may have felt at any moment of my life because of any public tragedy.

It feels like the loss is mine. It feels like I am hurt. It feels like how much helpless I am. It feels how much indecisive I was. It feels like this is rock bottom. It fills my heart with grief that how much hatred we have in our heart. It feels like how much cruel we are.

Today as I observed 2 minute silence for the innocent children at my workplace, I could feel the somber mood around. I could imagine the happy faces of these children playing around in the swings, around the trees, with their siblings, fooling around here and there. I feel these children should have returned Home safely to their mothers and fathers to hug them, love them and keep them safe in their arms. But we know this is never going to happen now. As I mediate for these pure souls during those 2 minutes I couldn’t stop that drop of tear to trickle down my eyes and I still cannot Stop it now as I write this post.

After around 150 children murdered cold blooded on a chilly winter day I have just one thing to say humanity you have lost it completely and I don’t trust anyone now where my children and my family is concerned.

How difficult is a change

Quite difficult. Or maybe it defends! Depends on what?  I would say a lot of factors. A person will be able push a lot of change in his life and society based on how desperate he has become to bring that change. It can at Times become very difficult because the person has not initiated anychange for a long time or even worse if he has never initiated any change in his entire life.

Change always bring refreshing change to lives of not only the person initiating the change but to all the the related people in his life.

To get started in the path of change start with simple changes. Once you have developed the culture of change in your lives you can iinitiate more bigger and fulfilling changes that will make your life look worthwhile living.

Take baby steps if you want. Learn to say yes for all the things that come as Options in your life. Once you perfect the art of change making your life will becone really fulfilling.

Fibonacci and Golden Ratio – Phi

Here’s some facts:

• Fibonacci number is the sequence of numbers found in nature and naural processes
• The ratio of two adjacent Fibonacci number becomes closer to 1.618 (phi) as we move higher in the Fibonacci series

Here’s my java program to print first 99 Fibonacci numbers:

public class Fibonaci {

public static void main(String[] args) {
double fib[] = new double[102] ;
fib[0] = 0;
fib[1] = 1;
for (int i=0; i <100 ;i++) {
fib[i+2] = fib[i] + fib[i+1];
}
System.out.println(“Fibonnaci Numbers”);
for (int i=1; i <100 ;i++) {
System.out.println(i+” = “+ fib[i] + ” Ratio=”+fib[i+1]/fib[i]);
}
}

}

And here are the first 99 Fibonacci Numbers and their ratios:

Make no meaning 20102013

The gospels of peace in the charcuterie of mayhem had this tremendous epitome with which to dilute the sygmatic effect of a reciprocate being in the mutilated state of consciousness and to the traditionalised in the most remarkable of ways it is by far the world of sexual being and the water that flows within and without we droop it up.

Words destroy the feelings

If only we could communicate in a more natural ways.

This was one of the thought that came to me while I was interacting with persons of different cultural upbringing than mine. And since I am born in humanity that has a common bonding because of our common source, I can more than assume that most of you reading this post would agree to me

Although written and verbal ways of communication are the most reliable ways of human communication because they remove any ambiguity because any word written or spoken has a meaning which is clearly defined in the language it is spoken. But this type of communication comes with a natural drawback, the scope of these languages are rrestricted by what is defined in the language itself.

But humans interaction and verbose is a universal language any may not be captured by human experiments in language.

A simple way of understanding this is to imagine this is that you were in the middle of 9/11 destruction which you saw. And later on you read the narration in newspaper and do not get the same feelings. Or you try to explain what you went through that day and you are now not able to explain your feelings. But when you meet someone who was with you on that day, you can just look at each other, you both don’t have to speak a words. You both can then interact through the common feeling. And the tears that will roll down your cheeks will be an expression of your true communication.

To sum up my point, true human interaction can never be replaced by a man made one if we want really want to feel the love and humanity around us. This is the only interaction that will give us happiness.

Quantum thinking

So we thought we decide the flow of life. What if we were not living (life) rather experiencing it.

Quantum physics says one influences the results of an experiment by merely viewing the quantum specimen of the experiment. We cannot see the quantum particles ssimilarly we do not see our thoughts but they are all around us. Could it be that we can influence the outcome of our life events as it unfolds by just thinking about the various possibilities? Because we may never know by scientific logic why this may happen in our lifetime isn’t it worth while just believing.

Isn’t it natural that the first thought we get when we are thinking of possibilities are negative thoughts. Could it be natural tendency embedded in our primitive mind as a natural guard against quantum negative possibilities.

Does that mean being sceptic is a natural survival tactic and by being too positive we may be influencing a rather positive outcome.

Now here’s the most ironic thought. Do you want to believe me and become a sceptic? Or by thinking about it haven’t you influenced a possible outcome of you turning into sceptic.

May be you shouldn’t have read this blog 🙂

Why was God created?

Our society has one binding factor and that is that most of us believe in God. There will not be anyone in this world who hasn’t heard of God.

There are numerous theories on how was God created? Some of these are as enterprising as arguing that God may be the king of an alien race that came to earth and tamed humans. This is the most physical of descriptions about God. But in most societies and religion God is more spiritual than physical. We mostly represent God in human form. Most of the gods are from our ordinary earthlings. God may have been created out of princes, kings, paupers, travellers to name a few. Some Hindu and Greek gods are also from heavens unlike most gods created out of ordinary human beings. And we don’t stop there we create new gods every century. We also create new religions with our own set of God’s and rules. That brings to my topic of discussion who do most humans need God?
God to me is the unknown and therefore god is everywhere. Because we will never findout why we were created therefore we will never findout why god is created. We may argue that god was created to represent hope. To some degree that may seem true because when are in distress the first thing we think of is God please save us this time. As if talking to someone and asking for remorse for our sins or we think of God asking to help us when everything else doesn’tt seem to work for us.

So is that why God was created? To be that unknown but one that all of us can connect to because that one is the source of everything that is around us. Is that why we talk to God in distress i.e. To connect to the one and resolve our source of distress and issue.

The fact is that we maynot ever know why? But we know how to connect to god, the power of supreme truth and I think that is what matters.
