Dropping 4

Corporate world has been working hard to teach us the principles of renunciation all along. Most fail to notice, get into the rat race, I am sorry, career path struggle it's called, some succeed, most don't. For those who succeed, the success is momentary, disappointment that follows will be eternal. 

No, I am not going to tell you that you have to follow the path that Bhagwan Krishna himself asked everyone to follow. At least that's what we think. But come to think of it, Krishna never meant it to be for common folks. It was Arjuna, manifestation of power, he was addressing to. To him he said, "Do not think that these folks are your close ones, people related to you. तस्मात् उत्तिष्ठ कौंतेय, युद्धाय कृतनिश्चय: । Think about those shareholders, and do what you must. Go ahead Arjun, pick up that गांडीव of yours and start kicking some serious ass." For rest of the poor saps all he had was, the advice of "कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन"! Do your duty of getting killed and be happy to know that you died while carrying out your solemn duty. 

I always wonder if name of Arjuna's Dhanushya meant kick-ass in Sanskrit. I am like, who names their weapons? I have once heard a career criminal calling his handgun, rather lovingly, a "bitch". But that was it. Never saw anyone having a pet name for their weapon of choice. I have no doubt, Arjun loved, rather gleefully, to kick some ass every now and then.

Corporate world has always been in sync with Krishna. It's just for those poor sods who toil there to get their shit together and follow what Krishna has advised long time ago - कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।

Dropping Three

Time has no start, no end. Especially when you are waiting for those cookies in the oven.

I am because we are. A profound sentence in the world of philosophy ever. Profoundness breaks the grammar.

Principle of karma conservation -Check sum of total karma in the world is zero. There are people who spend life doing nothing and there are people who spend their life chasing a mirage. The karma I did by writing this postulate, is nullified by people who will never read it.

Why jump when you can crawl?

Dropping Two

You think you are the most unfortunate and miserable. Don't trust yourself because you also thought you were the most fortunate person when you got married and yet, here you are.

You complain you can't read a woman. You come to me asking for help and seek peace of mind. Two things are mutually exclusive. 

There is something profound about those deep water divers. They tumble overboard into waters with their back towards it. If they didn't do that, they would fall in the boat itself. 

Grass is greener on the other side of the fence. No one cares if the fence needs the paint. 

You say Grass is greener on the other side of the fence. I say probably a new pair of glasses is all you need. 

You say grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Your neighbor probably has a dog. 

Simplicity is a virtue. It is a complicated condition.

Dropping One

It is very difficult to solve a problem. But it is very easy to become a problem. Once you have attained that state, life becomes easy. Lot of people will rush to solve you, while you sit on a couch and watch TV.

It takes lot of intelligence to be stupid. Don't underestimate the power of stupid.

I have five senses. I even have a sixth sense. It tells me that you think that I don't make any sense. What does it really prove? 


However beautiful a tree bark may be, eventually there will come along a dog who will pee on it.


When sky is blue, water too appears to be blue. Don't search for any deep meaning here. It is merely an observation. 


Learn nothing. Teach nothing. Practice nothing. Nothing is a mighty difficult discourse, which if you pass with flying colors, will empower you to do nothing.
