Whats up?!

Hey Wassssup?!
And you might say, sarcastically that you see the ceiling, up!
Whoever says this, has a point and all they see in life, may be, is the ceiling. That according to me means that, they might be looking for a secure future. They might even be looking for a roof above their head.
You might ask me, what do we actually need to see when we see up?
I would say, we need to see the SKY, when we see up!
Sky according to me is abundance, the source of endless joy and wisdom. Sky has no limits, sky has no boundaries, sky doesn't even have something called a fence that will obstruct our vision towards what we want to see. Whatever is up there, is up for our visionary delight.
We always keep telling ourselves that "sky is the limit". Do we put this in practice. Do we have that real vision in our minds?
Now, let us all practice by having Sky as the upper limits.
Now let us analyse what else can we see ''up"?
If, for example, you see the ceiling fan, that means you are limiting your vision only to one thing. And that it is revolving inside your head like that ceiling fan. That restricts your vision and hence the possibility to explore further more than that dies out.
So, don't have the vision of Ceiling Fan Up on your mind, as far as you can.
If you don't even see a ceiling, a ceiling fan or the most important and vital Sky in your mind, and all you see is blankness, it means you are either hallucinating that there is nothing which is worthy in this world, you have no vision for your life or you do not intend to have any vision for your life.
I do not believe in new year resolutions. But, since this post on this particular subject has come up in the beginning of the year, I take this opportunity to tell that let us all take this up as our resolution of the year. Let us all try and live upto our dreams, which is sky high. If we do not have any limits to what we dream., then we wont hesitate to try out new things in life. Had the human race not ventured out on trying out new things in life, we wouldn't be in the place and position where we are today.
So, pls tell me, wasssssssssuup!

New Year, New Decade, New Hope!

It is a new year and hope it is a happy one at that
:)
and it is not just a beginning for the new year... It is also the beginning of a new decade.
We all celebrated the beginning with a bang. Well almost all of us.
Hope this isnt as bad a decade as 2000-2009 turned out to be.
the decade gone past had got us reasons to be sad and angry. Be it the WTC collapse or the WMD issue, the killing of Saddam or the recession, the Copenhagen fiasco or many more similar things. India too saw a lot of trouble in terms of political confusion, the attack on Akshardham, the parliament attack, 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2002, the Mumbai floods, bomb attacks in various places like Mumbai, Gujarath, Varanasi, Delhi etc. Even Karnataka saw many troublesome days, like the political confusion created first by Kumaraswamy and then by Reddy brothers recently. The state also had its share of trouble in recent days in the form of floods in the northern part of the state. Dr Rajkumar's kidnap by forest brigand Veerappan, and later Rajkumar's death and the confusion during the cremation. The recent deaths of great Hindustani Classical Singer Gangubai Hanagal, Singer C Ashwath and the Sahasa Simha Vishnuvardhan.
I am not trying to document the incidents of the decade. This is just the recollection of the happenings of the decade in my own way.
The 2012 scare is still looming large and people have more reason to worry since that date is nearer than ever now. Dec 21, 2012 may not be the 'date' with fate. It could just turn out to be the beginning of some more trouble for the planet. This is not because the world is coming to an end. According to me, the world needs to look at the climate issues more seriously than ever, and at least the end of the World syndrome should fuel the fight against the cause of Climate Change to a large extent.
I hope Dec 21, 2012 is not the last day of the World or the Planet.
the previous sentence does not seem as optimistic as I started this article, isn't it?
