How to name it?

The map I hold is not the roads I roam. Those who feel that the gap is merely very difficult to bridge are men/women with purpose. For the landmarks I sight are the destinations I want to reach, and makes me believe that that the universe can be simultaneously apprehended at once. It makes me leap from recognition to recognition and my ingenuity bridges the gap creatively to apply my principles. I become self-obsessed and congratulatory and it is perfectly plausible that happiness becomes my second nature. For I am no longer incapacitated by the enormity of what I see, only my mechanism of selection is much stronger than the awe of the unknown.


Then there are differentiators, those that seperate the being from the knowing - Living the drama and understanding it share a mutex relationship, for both cannot be apprehended simultaneously without destroying the purity of their essence in isolation. And then we could laugh at each other, for emotions, for fears, for their unknowns. And life at once becomes merry, buzzing, and between all the mutual explosions we seemed to have found the harmonious universe, teeming with contradictions constantly resolving themselves like the melting ice - serving just the right purpose. I know my universe then, and become its non-physical center, perhaps even able to spin some universes on their axis at will and I breed gravity, as everything that looks at me closely enough falls to me, either to crash, or do the waltz at a safe distance. Everything becomes real, alive, colored and bright. I ignore the shadows while basking in the glory of light. Yet when I am tired, and before I sleep, there is a minute when I introspect, amazed that I beautify everything I touch, and everything I dont. It is in that minute, that I invent my dreams and rearrange my furniture for a better living. And what spills from my brimming claudron, simmering on heat, becomes my art, my signature, an alternate identity that I cant hide.


Sometimes when the malice touches the melting point, it flows as hope. Block the flow and it settles down as acceptance, let it flow and it covers just enough ground to lose its identity. And then we have names for all that grows from its carcass.

  1. You are a cirrus cloud, then, in my imagination.

  2. Hmmm. Only, I don't know if I am merely recounting observations to frame an insight or defining a formation. It would have been good if I could rain in your imagination?

  3. No Surya you aren't looking for that. You are looking for security from your memory that has fragments of your knowlegde/ skill/ your need to feel a victim and in time reject that feeling. You do feel you will continue through your intentions. Youhave a tradition back home which when there is carried out through automation, may be you do not believe in those rituals and call them futile, but you are there and your parents and people do feel something bad will come. So security for them is becoming and nothing wrong in that comforting of the conflicts for some time. Life is going to be good is a thought which is not natural.

  4. Maps that you hold are yours, on your own roads. Period.
    The men/ woman you see with purpose, who are they to your way of being boss?
    Do not sound like a brat who says I blame my mother for me being miserable here now.

  5. All actions come through Ideations. (This is not my quote:) )

  6. In time to come from college to the place you work now you have taken your knowledge ahead and reached a position where you are doing activities and these activities give your concepts you have conclusions about this whole period in a very mechanical way. Do you see this?
    But the mind starts working backwards preoccupying itself with what if these activities won't be available to you in time to come or you wouldn't find joy in these actions or I feel I need to do something that I had dreamed off. So from actual you slip in to perceptions that seem like a reality but which runs parallel to the reality that you find yourself or your mind in all the time and in a very mechanical way.

  7. So it is not about maps and roads of yours or someone elses it is all about preoccupation; is this preoccupation an abstraction for you then?

  8. @ raj

    I should have added - "I" as I use it is not always the whole of me.

    Map is only symbolic and does not contain all of the road when I am walking them is the idea. Also, when you communicate your ideas of how to reach any goals, they are just sign posts - so your ideas are the map but not where I roam. But a man with a map in hand will choose the points he wants to visit - and then not delve on the roads or the experiences unless it is of consequence to his goals.

    No one can construct a map of what he experiences as relevent to a point.

    Happiness is a statistical concept - I am often speaking in third person even I am referring in 1st - consider it my uncouthness.

    You know me too well to fudge my intentions.

  9. True. Let's pick a fight on the blogposts.

    What do you mean by abstraction here? Is there anything but abstractions in your life outside the senses?

  11. (No fights Surya, am not a sport. You are the boss. First person account has to be supported by third person account in science to form theories; that is ok.)

    A dialogue with memory:
    "Can you meet me without the past"
    "How can that be possible? I know, but I don't know anything outside this boundary."
    "How do I survive without you, will I be orderly enough?"
    "I don't know, there are files I can search if you press buttons."
    "But I don't want you to repeat, can you answer this outside cultivation."
    "I can only see mechanical and may be some files can throw some new insights, that is up to you, I am dead."
    "You are living?"
    "No, so stop raping me. What good is raping the dead."
    "If you are dead then how did this desire, this want to rape you come about?"

  12. This belief that I am a hindu brahmin and I belong to such and such country and I belong to my family and this is the tribe I am proud of; this is where "I think I exist" comes about from.
    The being in the tribe gives birth to this thought of I think I exist.
