philosophy....

Philosophy??? yuck!!! its all globe!!! (in iiml jargon: globe means arbit stories to fill up space)

philosophy is all senseless talk which ppl try to talk in order to make sure that they look well educated... these were my ideas of philosophy till a couple of days back... then i meet this guy who joined iiml recently... the discussion started of with this bharathiyar's poem i would have heard and appreciated hundreds of times... but alas!! i never cared to know its meaning... this guy explains me the meaning and BAMM.... i am left flabberglasted with the beauty in its meaning and the suttlety in certain lines...

the topics ten moved on to more serious ones like vedas, god, universe, philosophy etc... the way these issues were put forward by this person so nicely thatinstead of me uling them off as globe, not only did i listen to him but also debated few philosophical issues with him... few of my ideas really made me doubt if it was me toking all the time....

new knowledge was showered over me... to tell the truth, it was the first time that i actually found out what philosophy meant...

later on, we moved on to his creative skills with art... few might be deprived enough to see them as good artwork... few might recognise them as good pieces of art... but what is to be seen is the thought process that has gone behind those art work and the volumes of meaning and sense hidden in such a small art work...

thanking praveen ravi for the new ways of looking at life that he had taught me...

Lord Krishna reincarnates??

On the occasion of Shri Krishna Janmashtami, just a quote from bhagavad gita...

"Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya Glanirbhavathi Bharatha
Abhyukthanam adharmasya Thadathmanam Srujamyaham.”
“Parithranaya Sadhunam Vinashaya cha Dhushkrutham
Dharma samsthapanarthaya Sambhavami Yuge Yuge"

for all those who live on iiml campus and understands the above quote: has the lord reincarnated?
