Free thoughts - 5

Wish we Humans didn't Speak!

How do I think? In what language does my thinking process work?

Do you think in English or mother tongue? I wonder how my wife thinks, since she literally has 2 mother tongues!!

Is it why Humans are more intelligent than any other animal, because we have linguistic skills?

Scientists with their research and experiments do not agree that our minds use any language to think. Human's efficiency is seen only because we have linguistic skills to communicate our ideas, imaginations to others. In fact, the scientists suggest it's additional activity for the brain to put words to the thoughts!

Our mind is indeed a strange thing, I sometimes feel, though it's part of my body, still works independently. While it keeps yapping and screaming inside, I can still hold a calm and smiling face.

With the chaos, traffic, irritations outside, I can simply put on a headset, a soothing music can keep it calm.

Ageing with purpose

Recently read about an elderly lady's inspiring story of how she outsmarted loneliness, by making her younger day dreams a reality.

The widow with both daughters settled abroad, now spends time meditating, going on solo bike rides and making Insta reels.

Human life is no less than a wonder there is so much we can do with our lives. It is so overwhelming, that we often find ourselves wondering the purpose and life objective. Which by the way keeps changing in each stage of our lives.

The question remains a mystery: How do we derive meaning, purpose at the end of the road, especially when we find ourselves alone.

Done with the life race, what do I do to inspire myself, motivate myself? All the achievements, success, failures are worth when someone stands by you and appreciates, Or you do it to impress someone or for someone.

Is spirituality the only answer?

I have seen many people living in solitude, loving themselves, living for themselves, happy in their own world.

Would it be possible for the majority of us who have all our lives lived for the people, by the people, of the people and society?

I also came across a lonely middle aged man chugging Beers alone at a Bar Table. He was enjoying the music, dancing alone, laughing alone, taking selfies, yet silent most of the times...many of us in the Pub had one thing to say about him "What a Psycho!"

In the Grind, with a wish for Magic

"I wanna be a billionaire, so freaking bad"...I feel it, many I know express they feel it, do you?

Not that any of us want a short cut, we just know we deserve it!

They say money can't buy happiness, peace. But every bloody thing in the world needs money!

Atleast I do not have the lucky stars to turn gold everything I touch, slogging is part of our lives, not complaining though!

Be it PSY who created "Gangnam style" or the Ketchup Song creators became billionaires overnight. It doesn't matter what they did later, or if they still are active.

Not everyone, every profession has this possibility to turn around things overnight, neither do we have any extraordinary skills nor talent, so let's shut up and continue to grind!

The Saturdays in Mondays

Life is filled with Mondays, wish I get to feel a Saturday in every day, wish everyone in my life is a Saturday.

I am blessed to have Saturday in my friends, in my loved ones, but those dreaded Mondays spoil every single Saturday moment.

Aah, those beautiful Saturdays, the vibe, the fun, the frolic, the freedom, the goodness, the joblessness, the feeling of being stress-free, the laugh, the peace.

Music is my Saturday, travelling is my Saturday, Lying on a beach shack is my Saturday, a cozy farm stay is my Saturday, sipping on a aromantic Coffee with my people at Home is my Saturday, building some intelligent, creative Solutions is my Saturday.

Until a Monday calls and makes my Saturday get irritated.

Monday is so atrocious that it has sucked out everything out of Sunday. It has left Sunday so anxious that it has lost its sheen!

Who is your Saturday, What makes you feel a Saturday?

Hello Me

Standing in the middle of the road,

No passersby either way,

The long road doesn't seem to end,

I stand alone,

I am staying afloat on a boat alone,

With endless water all around,

Purposeless & aimless, I stand and wait to seek relief from loneliness,

I see myself walking towards me,

I smile and greet myself,

I touch the other me to see if it's a Mirror or my delusion,

I opened my arms wanting for life in my life, light in my life.

Am I happy to meet myself? Am I happy to meet someone like me? Do I need to change myself to become a better person to be a good company to even myself?

My Pie

I have taken my pie,

I have taken my piece,

I am holding the portion that I deserve,

I have taken only what is mine,

I have the right, I have the freedom, I am not to be blamed.

It's the Mindset, it's the adamancy to not see through things, it's the inability to think straight that's hurting society. It's the Mindset of People in power, the Hero worshippers, people in Queue, people in Traffic.

Expression of freedom, without being Mindful,

Claim of Rights, without compassion,

Logicless thought process,

Perceptions without Sensibility, sensitivity, empathy or sympathy.

Thoughts 36,000 Feet above

Looking down from the flight window,

Makes me think, thoughts flows like a river.

It makes one think above and beyond.

Thinking from the top, the dialogues within,

Perspectives from 36,000 Feet above,

Disconnected from the world, just amidst the bed of clouds,

The burden of inability to make the mind stop,

Unable to decide if it's thinking over the top, or thinking over and above,

Mulling over indecisions, knowing the difference between knowing things and doing things, acknowledging knowing what can't be done.

Everything seems like the open sky - endless, above and beyond.

Looking down at the problems like tiny objects from the top, Seeing life from a larger perspective, yet when you land to reality, the problem continues to be the unmovable mountains.

The Landing can either feel like coming back to the chaos from the dreamy run, or to have arrived like an angel!
