CAN AN UNIVERSAL UTOPIA EXIST?

Utopia is an idealistic place where everything is ‘perfect’. You might be overawed by this mention of perfect. The perfect is entirely relative and only one thing is for sure, the different imaginations on the structure and characteristics of the xanadu converge to a concept called ‘freedom’ as quoted by the legendary hindu monk of India, Swami Vivekananda. Each particle in this universe is striving hard to achieve this freedom and I don’t know why is this duel for freedom on the run. Ofcourse, the why is an infinite loop and if you ponder over why, you end finally in why only. The ever expanding universe is the answer for how each particle is industrious in separating from one another. This concept of freedom is a paradigm for human activities also as man is also existing in this universe.

A man does his actions and receives the reactions from the environment(may be inner or outer). The reactions may be desired or undesired and this issue on the desired or undesired in itself is leviathan to be argued. For now, let us assume that the reactions may be desired or undesired. The actions that he does is in the society in which he inhabits. This society forms a system which defines the boundaries or rather restrictions to the actions of human behavior. These restrictions are such that the actions done with the acceptance of the system creates a wave in the mind that does not make the individual a slave to something, as it rises to the conscious. Here, ofcourse, it is all upto the individual to become a slave or a master of the situation, but I am speaking in the normal sense. The best example for man becoming a slave is the technological advancement. Although technological advancement brings positive results, there is a flipside for it. The flipside is that man is becoming a slave under the machines,that are the results of technological advancement. However, as I have already stated that the individual is the ultimate authority in deciding to becoming a slave or a master.

One more thought can strike your mind, if you think that there is nothing as a master and a slave, or dominating and dictating, & who cares for the reactions from the system, it is fantastic and exemplary. But, according to me, this way is the most difficult to live since we are in an emotional loop of the parents and competitive circle of the friends. Upto now, you might wonder, whats with all these things. Here is your answer, what I have mentioned above is to prove that the perfect exists but is relative to one another. He gets the reactions according as his imagination on the structure of the perfect, the thing on which his actions are based upon.

Finally, it is upto you now in deciding the lifestyle that futs the rays from the lights of the system to the boulevard of freedom. If you have the ability to become a master of every situation or system, and achieve freedom, there is no one who can stop you. If someone can design an architecture for a cosmopolitan Shangri la, that would be one of the greatest inventions of the mankind in the past, present, and for the future. Atlast, amidst these relativeness of perceptions, the only question that haunts you is that can a catholic idealistic system exist?

A WEIRD INCIDENT-MENTALITY OF EDUCATED YOUTH

It was a treat from 2 of my friends, Athreya and Raghavan, at the Green Leaf hotel, which is one of the famous hotels here in Mysore. Athreya, for his birthday and Raghavan, for getting placed in Wipro-VLSI. We were 10 of us, who had gathered there we waited for 15 to 20 minutes outside, since there was no place to sit, because of a huge crowd, as it was a Sunday. We ensconced, and each one of us ready for a banquet, by 8-30 p.m.. The hors-douevre, entree and the desserts were everything exemplary, not to be surprised as I have already stated of the hotel. The other 8 of us, were least bothered about the bill, since it was a treat. Athreya and Raghavan payed the bill and we all came out bantering each other. It was that time, this weird incident happened. I had parked my bike, just behind the hotel. There is a coffee day, on top of the hotel, and a passage way from the delicatessein directly to the road. I took my bike, and was about to start. Packy, who had come with me j

JOURNEY FROM CHENNAI TO BANGALORE VIA KOLKOTA AND USA

It was the last day for one of the my friends Kishore(KD) to stay in Mysore. He thought that by the time he comes back to Mysore again, may be just a few weeks later, most of them would have separated and would have gone on their duties. Kishore had been posted to Chennai and was intimated to join the IBM group on the 17th of june. Let me slightly move to the history of the offer letter. I dont remember the exact date when he was intimated about this. But, as far as I remember, it was during the last week of May, i.e the time when the VTU exams were on the run. He was a little pissed off when he heard that he had been posted to Chennai, because his heart was always beating to stay in Bangalore. At first, when he heard the news, his first reactions were like "99 percent, I'm not going man". On the 6th of June, we had gone on a short distance, short number class trip to Meenakshipura, not more than 15 kms from Mysore. I guess, we were only 10 of them, and all fro

VALEDICTORY OF A FAREWELL

One always realizes the importance of something when he loses or misses it. As many of our friends who were placed in ibm-gbs, had already got their joining dates, they needed to depart from us very soon. On the 17th june, one of my friend KD had to join IBM in bangalore after he had traveled from Chennai to Kolkota, Kolkota to IBM-ISL(USA) and then back to Bangalore. I need to write a new post and will soon do it about the rationale behind the journey and indeed it was an odyssey. For the time being, let me come back to the night of 15th june. As one of my friends, Anantha had met with an unfortunate accident, me, KD, PJ, Shreyas and Shravan had gone to see him in his uncle's place. After coming out of his house, for the first time in his engineering life probably KD voluntarily offered to give us a treat as a farewell. Another most shocking scene that confronted us was PJ had got some money in his pocket and he agreed to share treat with KD. We called Venki and Taki to
