About Me

CURRENT MISSION

whatever the day calls for..

ABOUT ME

Having assumed different roles in recent past..as a doctor.. as an activist.. as a filmmaker..i have nothing specific right now to put in words.. to tell what i am up to right now..

Only thing i have fear of ..is a routine.
So i make and break myself..often.
New age ideas seems obsolete..
if you thrive in Eternal..
the ever new.
Unpredictable, even to self,
so i do not carry along the burden
of any fixed ideologies..however interesting.
Truth and interestingness are separate,
usually we mistake the latter for first.
After decade of Atheist belief and communist leanings,
perceiving State and Gods as quasi-enemies..
I now find myself ready for my next big step..
to fight the biggest enemy i ever had..
Self.

PHILOSOPHY

If Truth is strong enough..it will find its way to you. You just have to drop the IF, if at all.

PS: Anything written before this para is actually around 4 year old and i was on kinda break from social media and CS as well. Presently i am working on setting up a small clinic and micropigmentation studio and academy in Pune. Also i believe now i am more sensitive to who i host, in these sense that i might not be able to host each and every request. .but very selectively. This is in a way bad but i feel its better to host people whom you might really connect with well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

..I enjoy catching freely falling feathers..
the glide of uncertainty ...before they land on to still but steady hands..have a lot to say..
little things can be amazing..
like it was to wave 'Helicopter Bye bye' to the helicopters passing over the school playground..!
..sometimes somethings be done without a reason too!

When it comes to amazing experiences.. i am not sure how much i 'cause' it or do it.. but i am only glad to be able to simply surrender to the beauty of the moment..to be able experience..

..one of the recent one:

* SMILE-STONES ON A DUSTY ROAD *
I am on my rickety, noisy motorcycle..passing through this small dusty stretch of a village road in vicinity of Pondicherry to reach my home on a sweaty humid afternoon of June month, around 2 pm.
The village school around the corner must have closed half an hour ago.
Almost all the kids have left for home by now. But not all. As i pass by, I see this little girl around hundred meters from me..must be ~5 yr old.
With my hair open, sweat shining on my forehead, and long unkempt beard,and over-sized fatty frame, I surely do not come across as very friendly figure to at-least those who judge on the face of it.
Kid's back is towards me..she is busy..it seems she has just finished making a bouquet of freshly plucked colorful bougainvillea flowers from the bush just outside the boundary wall of the school..white and pink flowers tucked together.
Now, she is probably.. tying it together with a little thread she picked from somewhere around.
I don't know why..but looking at this little girl's achievement of making a bouquet on her own.. i feel good for her. There surely is something comforting about picking up flowers in after-school hours..under the cool shade of a huge Pipal tree; may be for her mom..who should be there any moment now to pick her up.
Thinking all this..a smile comes and occupies my face..
and.. at that very moment..
she turns around..
and she looks straight into my eyes....( my motorcycle is still on move.. )
and she..SMILES !!!
Our eyes ..move.. in unison for next few moments..

All this. in not more than two seconds.
but my mind in unison with my being..for long.

Riding, past the barriers..
covering, smilestones..on a dusty road..

Teach, Learn, Share

> Can teach a bit of North Indian Cooking - Shahi Paneer, Daal Makhani, Chapati etc.
> Can teach u ride my heavy motorcycle ( Well... can not offer that to all..)

Deep spiritual and philosophical talks..etc are awesome to share... but much of the potential of it is reduced in talks.. its always better to share it through our works and being... so ....not sure. But yes , may be explore.

Also ..some people expect a specific level of intelligence and wisdom from me... ( bah.. because i have big beard n long hair.. ) . But i am really sorry..i do not want to fit in any expectations that arise out of stereotyping.
