Two posts in just as many days is too much by my standards, but I can't stop myself from posting this beautiful song, that I am listening to..and means a lot...
artist: Lobo
title: I'm Glad I've Got Someone (Who Loves Me Like That)
album: Sometimes
She wants to know where I am all the time,
Who I talk to what I do
When I'm away she calls on the phone,
You'd think she's checking up on me
She says she just wants to hear my voice
And make sure I'm ok
I'm glad I've got someone
Who love's me like that
Someone who always misses me
And just can't wait till I get back
She can't love me too much...
I just can't get enough
I'm glad I've got someone...
Who love's me like that
I'll have a day at work
When everything has gone wrong,
I want to spend some time alone
Out on the freeway
Feeling sorry for myself,
I hear the ring of the car phone
She says "Hey baby how's it going
Are you on your way home?"
Find this song, and listen to it...it's really worth it!

A few spins, a few turns...
It is always difficult to write a post when I have a lot going around in my mind. Everything wants to be put down as a statement, and yet there has to be a coherence, a meaning in what is written. or should there be one? I don't know, so here goes.
I've been wondering about time. Time, that is the catalyst for change, that keeps changing even if everything else wants to remain the same...and once time has changed, it catalyses change. From a purely analytical point of view, time keeps moving because the earth keeps spinning on its axis, and around the sun. Most philosophers will cringe at such a dry explanation of time. But this is the disadvantage of being an engineer, you develop an ability to view everything in a terribly analytical fashion. Yet, however analytical I get about time, I cannot stop it. Or even so, make it go back.
There is only one shot you get at life, they say. Some believe you are re incarnated, and thus will get another shot at life. Hindu mythology believes that the human form is achieved after a soul goes through 64 thousand different life forms(called yonis). Many believe that the human soul is destined for heaven, or hell, based on what you have done on earth. I don't subscribe to this view. In my opinion, all payback happens in the same very life that you are living, no balance is carried forward.
So where am I trying to get to with all this heavy philosophical babble. Actually, I don't know. And even if I were to know, whats the point? So let me get back to the topic at hand..
So time keeps moving, and pulls life ahead with it. Our actions of today become memories of tomorrow, and might even be forgotten the day after. Tomorrow is just a day away from being today. In the big picture, the sun is going to explode and annhilate this planet forever. But I am not going to live for that long, am I? So let me not worry about the tomorrow that I am never going to see. But in a smaller picture, I see people ravaged by hunger, countries ravaged by fighting, children crippled by landmines, the polar ice caps melting, wars, tears, pain, anger....
The way we are going today, I don;t think we need the sun to wipe out our planet. We look like we'll self-destruct.
Is there a solution? of course there is, everybody knows it. But nobody will implement it. Inflated egos need to be maintained, world supremacy and dominance must be held...who cares if thousands are murdered in the name of protecting freedom. Who is the terrorist? Why do we focus on bringing these "terrorists" out of their holes and killing them? Why do we kill in the name of God? Why don't we try to help people to leave their weapons? Why don't we ignore those selfish leaders who interpret holy words of peace in their favour and start off wars, killing innocent people?
Why do we forget that all we have in life are a few spins, and a few turns...before we log out? Pretty ironic...isn't it?

Just sometimes....
There are times..when all you can speak is less, and you end up thinking...
"Man, There's so much to say, and so little time"
And yet, there are times, when you try to speak, but fall short of words..
Shortage of vocabulary is not a reason on these days, just that life overwhelms you so much so that you lose all words..
and then...there is silence....
but can silence last forever...can the unspoken words be heard...be understood...
Human life starts with a loud noise...of the baby crying when it is brought out of its safe hiding place..into the cruel world..
And at the end of it...we are so overwhelmed..that its always silent...
loss of words...loss of emotions...loss of feelings...loss of all dreams...desires..expectations....
and yet...without the eternal hunt of glory that man spends his life in...
he finds peace..in silence....
UPDATE: 20 Oct 06 : Coherent Rambling wishes you and your family a very Happy & Prosperous Diwali...This year, celebrate diwali with joy, and do something for a needy person. Your diwali will be good, so bring some light and joy in another life. God Bless You all!
