The Neoconservative Neo


Lets go back to the philosophy of Matrix . Morpheus ( the name taken from greek god of sleep and dreams ) offers Neo ( surprisingly - Abhinav stands for Neo in Hindi) the choice between red and blue pill .Here Neo is confronted by his inner self ,his soul . Had I been in Neo's place I would have chosen the Blue pill . It doesn't mean that I am not inquisitive .Moreover one of the characters is shown saying "Ignorance is Bliss " . Now you may be thinking that I wish to be ignorant . Sad ! you're still not correct.I do possess an inquistive and questioning brain but I don't think that we need to take the red pill to understand the hidden nuances of this universe .
Matrix shows us that the journey does not start with Neo choosing between the pills, or with ourselves deciding whether to question. The act of asking the question is itself the starting point . It doesn't really matter which pill you choose to commence this endeavour ,that you have to delve deep down under the truth of existence . I am not buying that .Yes , saints and preachers have kept telling us , but something's there which doesn't sound really right .
The movie symbolises the red pill as the real way to know truth . This can be simply countered by someone like me who would prefer to take the blue pill. He may wish to seek the truth in a different way, or in a less mind boggling array of events .Afterall we are here to live life to the fullest . I can't leave all the pleasures the life promises .The pleasure of being a good son , a good father, a good lover ,a good friend and above all a good human.I don't agree to someone who favours leaving all these to reach enlightenment and I would consider such a person more of a despicable and irresponsible being.It's like a tug of war . I am philosophically driven to seek the truth and the act of questioning is in itself seeking the truth.

However, the choice over the Red pill or Blue pill is not only a choice between whether to question or not, it is a personal choice on the method of questioning the mere existence of eternity.
Bye bye ....

Aise hi.....


Today you think how far you have come in life .It seems as if it all happened yesterday.But it didn't .
He told me to follow your dreams even if you are doing something which is not what you dreamt .One day everything will be cool and you will come at the point where people think that they have got nirvana.
Hmm...
Seems so lengthy a task .
May be I get impatient . Maybe ....
May not be .....
I hate when you get confused .
Why ?
Aise hi .....
Ok....
It just seems that you are loosing ....you are not that ....
Is it so?

Ya....!You don't think so?

Life is not always about loosing and winning ..It sometimes says about following ....So I am following ....Let him decide I lose or win ....

But how can you leave everything on him ?Ok he may be god or the crap people call him by ,you can't leave your life over someone whose existence is under question....
You must and I repeat ,must win....and for winning you have to stop confusing yourself....it won't help....

Ya ....I think you are right ...............Am I loosing ?

Certainly not ....why do you think so ....oh ...again you are getting confused .....Gear up bro....life can be very cruel to people if they don't act in time ....Time is the currency dude ....whole universe runs on it ....

Hmm......

Stop doing that ....

What ?

That....humming .....

Hmm..........(long gap ....and abruptly)but that's when I think about the things which you say ...I reflect on those and ...and that happens ....everyone does it ....

Bro ....grow up....ok fine ...you continue with your humming or roaring whatever... but look at the watch and think that is god ....
I think time is god ......or allah or rama...
respect it bro ....

Humm.....

So?Now what ?

What what ?

Arghh.....ok ...You and your confusions ....Now I will take over ....Go to sleep....

Ok but don't wake me unnecessarily ...You handle our life in better manner . And when you know that I am everconfused ,you must not see me . Let me be in slumber ....
We both will be happy when i am dormant ....

Humm.....

Ok I'll take leave ....Yaalla Ciao

Ciao ...But do remembr what I said ...

Yes , I certainly will ....and you remember what I said...(smiling ..)
Aise hi .....

Put an end to this Incertitude..


It happens .

Atleast , I can tell it by simple projection of my past over future .

It will always happen .

Life shows you many vivid dreams .Some are fulfilled while some are lost in so called metaphysical space .I think too much .May be it's something I should not do .Life can go very peacefully .But sometimes I wonder - Why I got this entity of self .There must be some purpose .I am at a juncture where I am going by my instincts alone .I am not a yogi who has strange powers of listening to his own body .But yes my mind is upto something . My destiny is calling me. I just don't know whether it is THE call. Then those words by Coelho reverberate in my ears - When you want something dearly in this world , the universe conspires in your favour .It feels very good when you ponder over these words ; as if you see a dove skimming over blue lake or somewhere far someone playing a flute .
It's a symbol .
If going gets tough , It means you are climbing up the hill .Easy life has been dream of morons . Challenges are part of life .Life goes on .You have to keep your cool and to regain what you have lost .Take up this challenge . Follow your dreams . And let the universe do its job .
Bye bye Abhinav.Good night .Tomorrow is the class of maths intro .
