Om Shri Gurubhyo Namah
Finally I have made a conscious effort to write. Been long since i have expressed my words to the outer world. The question is why now ? , majority comes from my teaching initiative.. My interaction with my students @ B schools on wide array of topics compelled me to open a new channel of communication which i hope will make it a refreshing hot spot to post wide views on "everything under the sun". I believe i am in what i call as "creative flux" both internally and externally. The only thing that's constant is "change". My personal history would tell that I am a "pen scrabbler" or a amateur writer from early school days. I was a rookie poet scribing lines in both English and Hindi. Somehow the creative juices of writing dried up and part had to do with my professional obsession of chasing my dreams. I felt impelled for writing many a times but never took over it. In fact i remember i won couple of prizes in poetry writing in my school days. Some time later to the middle of my engineering i felt to be a travel columnist but that was more of an idea which never materialized. Am I writer ? yes and no. I have graduated now to be an observer from being a opinionated person. And I wholly attribute this graduation to my spiritual master who inculcated immense tolerance to "others views and ideas" no matter how distant they were from that of mine. So I feel now i will write but as an observer and would try to end with a question rather than with an answer.Trying to embody the same spirits as expressed in our Rig Veda esp the one expressed in my favourite hymn called "Nasadiya Suktam" (Hymn of Creation) which ends by the beautiful verse "Who Really Knows (the ultimate truth of creation) Who Can Presume to Tell it... He Who Surveys the Highest Heaven Knows It.. He Surely Knows or May be he does not.. ).. Remember that beautiful opening note in the timeless classic "Bharat Ek Khoj" thats taken from this verse. Watch this
good thought of writing..................
ReplyDeleteha you never told us that you were a poet so nice to hear that specially from you. and also nice to know that you are an observer... sir i have also been trying this from the last 3-4 years though at an amateur level but still have been able to achieve 75-80 percent acuracy by now... and its still at an informal level though want to formally do it one day............
my though an you being questing for question and not answer....
i think its rather easy to identify the questions and much more difficult to look for those answers which have such multiple dimensions on which n no of pages can be written. moreover its much more interesting to look for those answers which shows so many more multiple aspects. ah its lovely to be doing it. ah its only an opinion
waiting to read some of your works which so much interests me and would probably much more to you.

ReplyDeleteHuman mind has always been excited with the spirit of unknown rather than known. The moment he finds the "known" his mind starts looking towards the next unknown. Its this question that takes us to the unknown. Answers are beautiful but there are so many answers to a given question and each answer gives rise to the new question. "Prashnodaya" enlightenment through questions.Unfortunately our questions are not the right questions. When the famous Russian spiritual master George Ivanovich Gurdjieff went to address a large elite London gathering, not a word was spoken because the radiance of the master was so strong that the entire audience felt pity at the kind of questions they had.
we need to learn asking the right questions which obviously is a life long process
