Artifacts of the human mind


The last few months have been quite inspirational!!

As i sulk in the monotony of my employment and struggle to find avenues within my occupation to showcase any kind of enthuthiasm, intellect and creativity....People whom i admire in life (Benazir bhutto, Amir Khan, Anil Kumble ) have stamped a class of immortality to their craft and have further subjugated me to the depressing feeling of living a useless, under-utilised and fractured life !!

I have always fought a trivia within me all through my life; day in- day out i have questioned these complexities - For i am a man who wants to live like an"Achilees" admiring "Gandhian" ideologies (mark my words, 'admiring' not 'adorning').

Achilees conquered his craft, perfected his skill and achieved an arrogant immortality over his work and he did all of this only to earn unprecedented selfish fame and attention.
Gandhi was a total contrast, a selfless servant of a nation but a convict of his own rigid ethical conducts, validating all through his life the existence of his principles and not living a life of his own.

Both men,though resemble a comparative contrast, lived a life of fullfillment - they lived for their wit, their thoughts and every thing that they wore on the sleeve of their mind !! They lived for the Artifacts of their human mind !!

Let me drive the point home now, Every able and sane person in this world lives his life only till the point that he/she finds a stubborn reason to live it. Think twice and then you would realise that every puff of air that you breathe calls for an incentive, each beat of your heart is driven by a purpose and the blood gushes through ur body owing to a defined reason.

Reasons defined becasue of profound thoughts, wit and humour..Reasons articulated by your mind. if you still dont get what i am saying, be brave and try this exhibition - Imagine that your parents/spouse/brother/sister/everyone close in your family dies together due to an accident. Why and for whom will you breathe again !!!

Men who stand out in character are who find a reason other than emotions to live for. Men who live for their craft, Men who live for the society and Men who live for all those articulations of their mind.

Men who live for other subtle things in life are far less imaginative, explorative and cowardly to experience life (alas, i am one amongst the same tribe!! )
