Our Mind..

The phenomenon which always craving for something.. and is like a monkey over to the branches reaches the peaks but still not predetermined. There is no definition and act like an infinite set of solutions then by a cycle of packets of problems integrating doing the same task again and again. 

Should say we can't define it a complex phenomenon 

Polishing of our consciousness, subconsciousness the waves inside and deep.

Where is it burning?

Reaching its height, settle down. 

Live in present ....

why is it always late while we realize an artist?

Why is it always late while we realize an Artist?Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. ... 

ക്ലാവ് പിടിച്ച വിളക്കിനെ തേച്ച് മിനുക്കുംപോലെ ,കല തിളങ്ങുന്നതിനോപ്പം ഒരു കലാകാരനിലും പ്രതിഭ കാണേണ്ടിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
ഒരുപാടുപേർക്ക് പരിചിതനെങ്കിലും പലർക്കും പരിചയമില്ലാത്ത ഒരു വേറിട്ട കലാകാരനെയാണ് ഞാൻ ഇവിടെ പരിചയപ്പെടുത്തുന്നത്, രതീഷ്‌ എന്നാണ് ഈ കലാകാരന്റെ പേര് . വരയിലും നിശ്ചലഛായാഗ്രഹണത്തിലും ഒരുപോലെ നൈപുണ്യം ഇദ്ദേഹത്തിനുണ്ട് . 

I’ve never thought much about drawings by Ratheesh. Then, a few months or an year ago, I saw Ratheesh’s pencil drawings through my friend Anand, colleague of him, both working in a reputed company in Trivandrum, and was quite impressed with it. And even more recently, I happened upon Ratheesh’s updates over Facebook.

His recent drawing includes great Musician and songwriter Saul Hudson, professionally known as Slash

The Great Silence.

the great silence

...logging in (password-12345)!

Long time no posts, starting phrase for each post after a long gap. The break we take on regular basis will be common among people for me, I think I should continue this because some of the figures I found out is not matching with those I am having in mind since childhood. But last week I saw a big mould for an usual human/commercial need woo.. It was such an amazing copy of the exact figure with me, I cant explain how I feel the mismatches and the matches.

Read many books, anecdotes, biographies and watched many Interviews. For last 2 years my inspirations are only these along with new environments.
The most haunted one is The Great Silence. The situation will be so boring and the experience will be at its peak. If you get chance to deal with these kind of Unique subjects please follow your own mind and be a disciplined reader.

I have't mentioned anything about this title, excuse me I am also in search for the same...

Dubai Dream

and perhaps, nothing really is

Dubai glistens. Impossibly-shiny glass windows gleam across blocks of new high-rises and 350,000 sqm shopping malls. Sprawling man-made lakes glitter in the brilliant sunlight. A 40-minute drive from downtown takes you to a surreal dreamscape filled with golden sand, where friendly camels trot and tourist-hungry campsites stage belly dances by twilight. And of course, the heat. The intense, body-baking heat that rises out of the sand that goes everywhere. Your shoes, your room, the pockets of your jeans. Thanks to some friends living there,Dubai is a strange place – sparse with people and filled with multi-billion dollar dreams. Drive through the city  (it’s laid out in one long line), and you’ll find towering, half-finished buildings left standing as if discarded by a giant child. Nobody walks anywhere because of the heat, so the city in the middle of the afternoon resembles a dusty ghost town. The countless malls are laden with brands from everywhere in the world – burgers from South Africa, Lebanese sharwarma wraps, Italian bags of the softest leather, bakeries from Australia. Stay too long in Dubai – and you’ll feel like you’re wandering about in a hazy dream. Nothing seems quite real. And perhaps, nothing really is.

world is upside down

world is upside down

There’s only one kind of love that can fill us up, make us whole, and give us the happiness we all want: unconditional love or true love. It is unconditional love that we all seek, and somehow we intuitively realize that anything other than that kind of love isn’t really love at all—it’s an imitation of the real thing.

“I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.” Princess Diana

Love—everybody wants it but so many of us have trouble finding it. Or giving it. Or even knowing what it is.

As for knowing what love is, true love is one of those gifts that we know we have found by the way it makes us feel. Love enriches our lives, making us want to give even more because we are conscious of the intangible wealth we have received.

So, this is (not)

I

 So, this is life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad, and I’m still trying to figure out how could that be.”

It’s about capturing an era in life — a time of teenage confusion when everything is somehow simultaneously happy and sad and exciting and depressing and as dramatic as possible. And by the end, it’s still not figured out. But it’s still life, for better or worse.

 A small Anecdote

A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see; asked the students,' How much do you think this glass weighs?'
'50gms!' .... '100gms!' ......'125gms' ......the students answered.
'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor,'but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?'
'Nothing' the students said. 

'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour? ' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students.
'You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?'
'Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress; paralysis;
Have to go to hospital for sure!'ventured another student; all the students laughed.
'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change? ' asked
The professor. 'No' the students said.
Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?'
The students were puzzled.
'Put the glass down!' said one of the students.
'Exactly!' said the professor.' Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.
It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but
EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day before you go to sleep.
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!' 

Remember to 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! 

Life is easy

heartfelt tears

Welcome friends. I know the blog post has been heavy lately, and to those who have been so faithful in reading, thank you. But I want to make sure you know, it's not all tears. Life is beautiful. Joyful. Funny.

A dear friend of mine was telling me about a dream she had last night. That she dreamt and woke up with a drumful of tears and bitterness. But it was just a dream. Most people believe that real men never shed tears, not to mention crying. The very fact that they do laugh demands that they do the opposite when situations reverse. Some situations must milk tears even from the driest eye
When talking about the tears; you shed when your sins weigh heavily on you and consequently groan for mercy and forgiveness. All saints without exception must shed tears at some point.

the month of celebration

dreams finally come true?

lucid dream?

 “When oh when will my dreams finally come true?” you ask, restlessly tossing and turning in your bed late at night. “I’ve been on this Earth for so many years and yet, here I am — without any of my dreams existing in my reality

will come true?

"We grow great by dreams. 

All big men are dreamers. 

They see things in the soft haze of a spring day 

or in the red fire of a long winters evening.

Some of us let these great dreams die, 

but others nourish and protect them. 

They nurse them through bad days 

until they bring them to the sunshine

and the light that always comes to those who sincerely hope 

that their dreams will come true"

- Woodrow Wilson

Today is the Day

My mind is racing at a faster pace than my heart. I don’t even know how to start. Maybe it’s the way we said goodbye, the way I’m now noticing every single lie. The whispers, and giggles all seem to be true, and now seeing the things that you taught me were all new. The question is, how can things so intimate come so quick, I’ve been with you from the very start. I’ve done all you’ve asked, and you’ve done it all. Not for me, and not for yourself but for a different we, an item too toxic for my twisted desires to see. Entertaining someone else’s time, confusing your misfortunes for mine. Why is it so hard to let go, let me leave, let me be happy with someone who wants me. I give you permission to laugh and smile, and think to yourself how you allowed it to last a while. The thing is you don’t know how many times I’ve wanted to go, how many times my bitter soul wouldn’t let me leave. Just know for my sake the memories are the reason for my current remains.

the treasure you look for is hidden in the ground on which you stand

Patience is a hard discipline. It is not just waiting until something happens over which we have no control: the arrival of the bus, the end of the rain, the return of a friend, the resolution of a conflict. Patience is not waiting passively until someone else does something. Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient, we try to get away from where we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later, and somewhere else. Let’s be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand.

Will someone make me happy?

At any moment in our lives, we can change our mindset and choose to be happy

All right, here’s the sitch, I haven’t blogged in a while and I’m not planning on it anymore. It has nothing to do with me not having fun because I’m having a good time. It’s because I was blogging in the beginning because I missed something/home and was unhappy. But I’m not anymore, in fact, I don’t want to go home!!

 Will someone make me happy?

No one can make you happy.  If you are waiting for someone to come along and fix your life, you are in for a huge disappointment.  There is no person who can “fix” you.  You are a human being with some strengths and some weaknesses but are not fixable by another human.
You need to work on yourself.
The best you can hope for is to find someone who really loves you.  Who is deeply flawed, but genuinely loves you, expresses that love by trying to be considerate of you in tangible ways, and is trying to improve, that is it. You need to work on you.  Just like you can work on your body with physical exercise, you need to work on your emotions, mind and soul.  The closer you get to being a complete person the closer you will be to finding happiness. The closer you are to being a complete person the more likely you are to be in a happy relationship (or to do what some people would call “find your soul mate”).  And get ready cause he/she will be a work in progress, just like you.
