timepass or experience!

i think everything in life stems from that basic question. do you want to treat it as a passing of time element or something u wud rather soak urself into passionately enjoy the depths out of it yet come out of it unscarred and strengthened to move on for the next soaking.


timepass or experience!


let me try to justify the above phrase with certain examples.

as i see it, people involve themselves in one of the following kind of situations.

a. job as job. for some jobs are a timepass, for some others its an experience. the former like many paarsis or some others u can c in offices appear completely oblivious to everything around. absolutely chilled in life they are, satisfied with what they have. the latter can be divided into two other types. one who do experience, but somewhere by enforcement. hence for them all kind of jobs, be it in the creative arena, management/business arena, or services for the humanity, it is a nuts-bolts thing. 12 hours rigorous work, they experience all that their other job offers but then since its an enforcement, somehow they manage to keep it just at that, cheapening themselves in the process, disrespecting to whatever they do to just the monetised value of their work done. there is the other kinds in the experience domain however who are insanely, irreverently, passionately, innocently committed to whatever they are doing. they get the bricks as well as the bats, laurels come late, but to them they really love and more importantly respect their jobs. i think i atleast till now belong to the last category the experience people for whom yet my work has not been an enforcement. however i am myself allowing it to become one. beware!!!! the basics of allowing something to become an enforcement or not comes from the MIND. If i think its an enforcement irrespective of outputs it is so. think about how it was ur dream to write in a paper just about 12 months back. beware again!!!

b. the other life.
by which i mean -- low involvement relationships between men and women, sometimes they boiling off to high involvement ones, with or without fruition. fruition might be great might not be great, since in every event happening there is a pro and con attached to it. but surely non-fruition has its immediate pains, and its long term loneliness, though it is the most comfortable kind of situation for a life which in itself is a journey. people fear that non-fruition means the end of it all. they fear pain, but what is pain but in the mind itself. no pain, no pain indeed as muthu was saying. keep like this, soak, drench, experience, be true to ur experiences, never disrespect...and keep walking as the johhny walker ad says...


i know this is not delineation, highly unorganised rambling but i will be back with some more stuff...

a. one how at each moment of time, every one of us stands at the cross roads of choices. and the decision what people take is based on a simulation of future which the individual think will happen, but might not happen in the end....

b. how the few of us, who experience, get some pain, lets not refute that we do -- are just like the maajhis..the majhi for whom rowing the travellers from one end of the river is at one moment a timepass, at another moment an experience. sometimes maajhis get really down, but being in a situation as the fluid river they remain in a state of ecstasy always in bliss singing the bhaatiyaali songs and pondering about the origins of the naadi and its mixing with the ocean....

more later dearest.
