Finding the Lost needle !

There is a lovable story on Rabia Basri and Hassan.

Not much is known about Rabia because of two reasons, One she was a Female Saint and Second she was from Iraq.

Tons and tons of wars have been played since 700 AD in Iraq. Though, this story survived. Not because it is about magic or miracle, but because it's about some common sense.

Rabia lost her sewing needle one day and was searching on the ground. Neighbors saw old woman Rabia and came to help. After a while one asked what she was looking for?

A needle, she replied, I lost it in the morning while sewing the cloth. 

Another asked, Where you lost it, Rabia?

In the kitchen, she said.

All of them stand stunned and speechless, as Rabia lost the needle in the Kitchen and was searching it on the streets.

One pissed off and said, You are such an idiot. You lost the needle in Kitchen and searching for it on the streets, how the hell would you ever find it here?

Her reply makes a mark on the history.

Her words travelled thousand of years. Impacted million and millions of people.

And one who gets them, gets the essence of the Life.

She replied, It's dark in Kitchen so even if I look for it there, I won't get it.

I met four new investors last weekend. All of them are having a positioned life. Car, Bungalows, Assets, Saving and what not.

But here is the fact. 

None of them is happy.

All are super competitive, rich but ridden with jealousy, educated but blind with trust issues, having a high standards of living but low humility.

I am sure, they all are searching their needles in the dark.



Watch this man's video... You will die laughing !!

Human : An unfinished Animal ?




Damn you Adam Smith.

Read Economist, Financial Express, Washington Post, Guardian, EPW, NY Times, Times.

Almost all others too, have written on the beginning of the fall of Capitalism.

Why?

Because it sucks.

Think deeply, answer to this your own self while in bed, Why the hell will you wake up in the morning and go to work?

Money? Network? Work environment? Your GF or Wife works there too? Targets? Bonus? 

Or

Inspiration? Motivation? Passion? May be I'll create something new tomorrow? Ideas? People who are as mad as I'm and we're going to change the world together?

I never fell in the second list.

Never.

I have been working, had to work and may be will work, just to get a safe life.

Money is the centre point.

Who the fuck did this to me?

You. You fucking Capitalism. No one else. You.

Adam Smith's pivot for the Idea on Industrialisation was??

Any Guess?

Well, he thought, Humans are so lazy to work so only the methods of Incentivizing them and giving them enough pressure along with it, will make them work.

And two centuries passed, what we're doing?

Do you remember the last time when you thought to punch your boss in the face?

I do.

Today.

And I'm gonna do it one day, soon.

They say, even if we're wrong about the Idea of Cosmos, they will go on as they are supposed to.

It is not with Humans.

We understand ourselves and the world around us with the help of Ideas.

How many died with Syrian revolt till date?

May be 2 Million. Or more.

Why?

They thought, suppression and autocratic rule is the Idea to understand the Regime.

One of the great Anthropologist said,

Man is the most Unfinished Animal.

Why?

Because we still are figuring out what and who are we.

So don't be Finished ones.

Find the Idea which you think you must work on or for, not on the ones your Boss says.

Caution: It may happen to one in seven billion of us who's boss is right.

The Maze Runner

A good book.

Nice movie.

A brilliant re-creation of sociological and anthropological scenarios of mankind.



I am not a first day first show or queue man for movies. I watch once the DVDs are out.

If you or anyone else or I were put on the same place of Alby or Thomas, what would you have done?

Exactely !!

Created rules, habitat, social life stones and brought the people together spreading belongingness and belief in system.

Thomas is kind of good but my favourite character is Minho.

Why?

Thomas knew what he should do, Alby knew what has to be done, all Chuck was trying to do understand what to do but Minho he was different.

He dared to be the lead runner.

A normal Chinese guy, no upper hand, no beautiful girl besides him, no know-how of what the hell was going to happen next, no matter who was right and who was wrong, he just ran.

Ran for three damn years and mapped the entire maze.

What he was lacking?

Nothing. 

Ohh... wait... he was bit afraid and less curious, and maybe he was just running.

But I still like his character.

I am not Thomas or Alby.

I need supports, inspirations, beliefs, trusts, guidance and someone besides me to crack the code.

I can't do that on my own.

Lead ? Yes I can. Explore? Yes I can. Dare? Yes I can. 

Alone? No can do !!

Who's your favourite?

P.S : Before saying anything, please watch the movie or read the book first. Pretty please.

...So that's how it starts !

...who's you ?

.... I am you... few weeks back, I tried to be there, but you didn't give me a chance !

...so now what you want?

...nothing, just nothing. I don't want anything, I just want you to accept me !

----

...So that's how it starts. The Fever. The Rage. The feeling of Powerlessness, that turns good men...cruel !
Batman v Superman 


I just love this quote. I don't know whether the movie will beat the Batman trilogy or not, but this quote has done the magic.

I have been meeting new people since last month or so.

I met a person in Human Resources today. Works in a Micro-finance firm. Helping in nature. 

I asked why do you help others, while leaving? "Because I know how it feels when there is no help available" , he said.

I had enough time to think over it.

Have I ever helped my own self?

Have I ever even let my own self to express fully, without any rules, regulations, taboos, dorms?

I am not sure. 

I am not sure, what if I have allowed me to express the fully who all would have accepted the show and who all not !

Are we not the ones to play by rules set by others?

Each time, I had told myself to be in the box for few hours, I had rejected me. I wasn't sure if that 'me' had placed a show or not, but I certainly rejected the possibility of it.

I have started to watch my deeper, dormented, suppressed, drowned self in past one or one and a half weeks. 

I am not enjoying it.

I am feeling full.

Letting the old me to express. Accepting him, his possibility, making me quite vulnerable, but I am accepting me.

Letting me to play the field. 

Am I changing ?

Not sure, but I think I could be. No-one from the circle left me so can't be sure. I still eat, sleep, work, write.

What has changed then ?

May be my limits. They broadened. My self. I am growing. Opening up to possibilities of what I could do, think, dream, be.

I don't want to die in Chaos.

Certainly not.

Are you open, the most possible version of you ? 

If not. Read the quote.

...So that's how it starts...!!!
