So many prisms of concepts, dogmas and belief systems that have propagated into our cultures and our societies for years together, and leaves a common man or a woman highly confused about taking a stand on either of these. However, one common denominator (a term that I often hear people saying) is that they are frameworks of thoughts created to realize the true freedom in our consciousness. No one knows if it ever creates such free souls except the person whos experiencing it. Often times, just like how standard communication, when it tries to penetrate several layers, could be distorted and end up sending wrong signals, such doctrines when set higher up by one man and followed by millions of people over several generations, can easily be misinterpreted and can start working against humankind.
Such is a state of corporate affairs and social affairs in some countries, where we all are bounded by some illusory social system governing our consciousness. How do we break out of this barrier and live free?! I recently read an article where this person said, Its no longer the fact that our consciousness is creating a social system, rather the social system is creating an automatic consciousness in us which if the system is wrongly designed and wrongly interpreted, can have serious repercussions and have undesirable feelings inside our valuable and innocent hearts.
We end up living a life caught up in these strings of unnecessary thoughts, harming our lives everyday. While we are all running our treadmill of our lives, trying to survival in this ever growing competition, sometimes its good to take a big Step back, wind back our clocks and start putting some real meaning to some of the things we do and improve the quality of our lives. Even basic things like work, relationships, our hobbies and some of our day - day activities are often done to pacify our inner conscience, but we often end up in stress and chaotic conditions and end up hurting ourselves more.
Back to my topic of what .....'Ism would you choose and why? I will start with the last one, Altruism - Have you heard this term offlate? - In this modern world it hardly exists and anyone who even tries to follow such a model would not be able to survive and will be beaten down to death - Socialism is a way of life where, there is collective responsibility in whatever you do and a fundamental belief that other lives are as equally valuable and respectable as one's own life and there must always be an equal sharing of space and time.
Capitalism and communism are much more serious in nature and have often times been very controversial. The very origin of capitalism frees a person's heart by not disregarding other people, but by removing the obligations one would normally feel in different circumstances and gives them a freedom to operate their life according to the "free-will", provided they do justice to their inner-selves(which often don't end up that way).
Communism aims for a classless and stateless society (wikipedia) where all decisions are made for the common good and for the community.
It does not matter which one you are strongly inclined to, but we need to understand the fundamentals of these idealogies in order to feel the freedom some of these thoughts can bring to oneself and people around, and sustain a very healthy life that can bring peace and happiness. Its easy to form a bond, but its highly tough to break it. So forming good thoughts lead to good feelings and we can only say that bad feelings are formed because of the bad framework of our minds.
Life is a phenomenon that can bring you all the wonders or can put you in dangerous conditions you would not like to be. The journey is what we encounter, but whats important is to navigate it in the right path, with adequate intelligence that will bring a lot of safety and protection and a never ending willingness to extend help to people who might be in need.

Innovation, creativity & discovery
What is the fine line of difference between these concepts which we love the most? –Innovation is an art of inventing something new around things which exist. Creativity is a skill which helps you create new ideas and discovery is a process of finding something new which no one else has seen before. Often times, these terms are not related and used in totally different contexts although if you look closely about what the output is, its always a special element that we produce out of that process which makes it all the more better. Think about real world examples:
A - Innovation –Having a security camera in your Iphone which you can see anywhere around the world through the web.
B – Creativity – Come up with vivid images of mountains, lakes and houses all blended with amazing colors that are so pleasing to the eye – so deeply meaningful that we see the creativity in our eyes.
C-Discovery – Music – It was a discovery however it might have originated – its now a revolution that has taken hold of humankind in every corner of the planet –
Just as we see these examples we could relate to these terms in terms of the scale of impact that it can have. We call it a discovery when the whole world can relate to it in the physical sense of reality – We call it creativity even when only one individual can see it and feel its divine nature and we can call so many things happening in our daily lives as innovations!
It makes us feel good to even talk about these things, because we all have innate abilities to create something new and experiencing the joy of seeing it and bringing it to the world cannot be matched with anything else. For example, take airplanes for example, until the 19th century nobody even could imagine flying to different places as easily as we could. People were in blind spots not knowing how something like that could be achieved. But once the discovery was made, people came up with their own innovations in that space using their creativity. Unfortunately due to power struggle and never ending greed of human beings to acquire territories not belonging to them or owned by them and lack of human empathy, wars resulted and this technology was massively abused and apparently became the reason to kill so many innocent lives around the world. Not to drift away from our happy subject, The whole world is a creation of our inner thoughts, what you see outside is what is inside you – Take all the industries we are operating on, technology, finance, manufacturing, mechanical, civil etc, all of the areas are pure creation of people in the past centuries trying to realize their inner feelings. Does it mean that we are born with these infinite possibilities that we have not even imagined before? Yes.
Just as we see in the real world where there is this one planet with full of life. Surrounded by infinite space that we are yet to explore, we all live our daily lives with our inner conscience as this planet offering everything we need in life, but once we step into zones inside us, there is a limitless space which cannot be even imagined how large it is.
Once we tap into that space, we can discover things that could not even be imagined For example, in future you may not need a Telephone to communicate with each other when you are long distance. There might be a frequency in space that if we closely listen to, we could hear anyone talking in the other part of the country. Well, immediately our minds would shut this thought out thinking that its pure imagination and cannot exist in real world. But when you add a physical medium to support your idea, it is quite possible. Any concept is possible when you put a physical medium to it. The whole world needs to look at elimination of physical elements to achieve our goals that will definitely conserve our environments a lot better.
Something to chew on for the day - As your clock ticks try and find ways to think differently.

How Equilibrium is Shaken up.
An unknown liquid seemed to be pouring out from a broken pipe in the 42nd Street, It was meant to contain water and nothing but water, but lot of pollutants in it and harmful chemicals combined with it is making people think whats coming out could be poisonous and toxic and can start killing people who come in contact with it. Already streets surrounding the 42nd Street is now flooded and Emergency personnel are unable to withstand the force with which the liquid is propelling from the pipe.
People have started to die, floating bodies and people are helpless in this situation. "Never go near the source" - One man yells from across the 25th Street, Thats the beginning of what people call "End of the world" Is our world coming to an end???? What is it that is coming out from there??
Mysterious - With all data known to humans in this century, so far mankind has not seen such a dangerous and deadly chemical ever released along with Water. If it was a struggle between the Whites and the Blacks in the 20th Century, its the Blues against the Blacks now. The City of Deep is in Big Trouble, and is going to create major chaos to the surrounding neighborhoods.
Panic, Tension, Anger, Frustration surround the entire place and slowly people have started to accept that they are in fact going to die and half of the city is being evacuated by the City Officials. There is only one way out, to flee to another place nearby, but there is no escape from this massive gigantic Thrust... which humankind has never seen before.
All the streets have this water gushing onto it, andis polluted with this black liquid , With such high intensity and enormous force, the rate of destruction is far exceeding the rate at which people are trying to escape from the City of deep.
What are the city officials doing about it?? Well they have filed for a petition and working on some approvals to find out more information about whats causing this flood. How long this might take? Depends, because the scientists are working on this to invent a new technology to offset this.
In a report to the press, an official is swarmed by the media. "How many people have died so far??" 1000s of them. Another man asks, "How many more are expected to die ? Can't really say!"
Whats it that is coming out of the Water? "All we know is its a black liquid"
Who is responsible for this?? An unknown company which is in charge of extraction
Instantaneously the entire reporters including the officers are washed away by the Forces of water into Spiraling waves.
What was meant to be happening in 2012, is happening now?? End of our lives? Our generations? Our emotions? All we gathered so far? All we did to protect the environment? All we did to live our lives?? All coming to an End??
Can anybody go near the pipe and Fix it??? Can someone help us?? Please stop this damn liquid flowing eternally out of this broken pipe... like broken dreams!
"Where there is a well there is hell"
Imagine the lives of the Dolphins, Turtles and so many other marine organisms taking the place of humans in this story talking to each other crying helplessly just like we do, to get the unnatural "Oil spill" Caused by Faulty device error which was not even tested and experimentally altered later on that is causing a HUGE commotion that is affecting millions of lives not visible to the Human eyes.
Claiming 11 people and hundreds and thousands of other unknown living organisms, costing Millions and Millions of dollars which could have easily helped Millions of poeple all around the world struggling for their daily lives, Is this a problem with the Work Quality ? Work Ethic? Work Responsibility?
A faulty mechanical device was responsible for the blowout preventer to stop functioning when there was explosion in the Gulf of Mexico.
Do we blame ourselves for Depending so much on Oil to lead our everyday lives that companies like BP take such risks to satisfy our needs? Do we blame BP for making a fatal error over the last several decades of their drilling? Or do we blame the government for allowing Rigs to be so deep in the ocean floor??
The City of Deep - The Gulf of Mexico - Sing Along!
Hell! Here I come.
Straight from the well.
Through the pipes of dreams
That turned into a nightmare of screams
Every barrel of oil represents
A barrel of life wasted and destroyed
Hell! Here I come.
Stright from the well.
Through the water onto the land!

owl city and my love for it!
Adam young - Have you heard of him???? The man who is the lead singer of this sensational band called Owl city - Whats so special about this band?? The same set of instruments stringed and tuned differently?? No definitely not.... lot of hard core rock music enthusiasts would ignore this thinking that it wont fit their "genre" but, if you listen closely... every song has been created with greatest feelings one can imagine.... - Its like blending perfectly with the universe and travelling through ones viens and churning music out of thin air, like how a potter would bring about a pot with just clay! until you see it churned, we dont see it, but the thought patterns and the flow of "ether" i would call to realize this level of music and output cannot be achieved by everyone unless you are in the divine zone...
Fireflies is one such song which became a blockbuster and got repeated several thousand times in most of the radio channels here in the US- and the rest of the songs are equally soothing to one's ears. Only one common pattern - the instruments used dont vary a lot which can mislead people into thinking that there is a lot of repetition in their music, but however we could significantly see great music and wonderful sense of creativity embedded in each song!
With almost 6000 people present in the Auditorium, the atmosphere was electrifying and a definitely a night to remember...
Heres one...

Tip of the iceberg
Sometimes reading a blog might get boring -- so please click on the song above...as you read my blog...
This is a master piece from Owl City ( My latest addiction) -
Welcome back, Winter once again,
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater,
Cuz you'll feel much better when
The snowflakes fall, gently to the ground.
We are all born to enjoy the pleasures of life. .be it the best beats in music, or meeting really wonderful people, or travelling to the best places on earth - lots of things gives us immense happiness.... However a subtle difference between the list of things to do remain as a fact that some are naturally available and some are created by men...or women ..
Take for example..
Music, Car, Arts, Dance, television, internet, twitter, facebook, iphone, mac, home theater systems, beautiful homes etc are all man made,
Where as a natural river, the beautiful ocean ridges, sunshine,gorgeous places, or a stream of river and beautiful landscapes are all naturally formed(by other forces of nature)
- There is one common representation among these things - Happiness :: and invoking the joy of life - ! how joyful are you in life? - As you listen to this song - you would realize that Life is meant to feel all the different beautiful things around us - However unfortunately there is a price tag associated with it, to take it from start to finish, we all need money - to eat, to gain shelter and also to enjoy these benefits -
As we take this journey of life, we often wonder why life is created this way - to deal with all the complexities = compete with 30 million species created just like us and 6 billion humans who also share this planet - each person having a different formation (differneces in name, cast creed color, religion, appearance, age, thinking etc) and also feel happy that we are gifted with most wonderful thing on planet earth - Life - !
Vedas, Quran, The Bible and all of these religious texts talk about only one thing - The creator or the God - whether or not we believe in God, we could see that there is one single opinion existing among so many people - that there is one creator who we all originate from, that could have a direct impact to our lives direcctly or indirecctly .. Think of it as a gut feeling(Science is also a gut feeling - So many businesses run on Gut feel - Even scientists experiementing at CERN to identify the GOD particle are sensing that something is still not invented by human kind - GOD -
Feel the bliss - Feel life - Enjoy the song - and color your life..
